When Vitali Beats Solis........

[Heru]

Solis will be one of the fighters to land most on Vitali, which isn't saying much because Vitali barely gets hit, but he's going to be destroyed.

Vitali has thrown 1000+ punches in 2 of his last 4 fights (the Arreola and Kevin Johnson fights and it looked like he came close to it against Briggs), Solis' slow, plodding feet, inactivity, lack of size, and high guard will get him demolished.

Solis had a better shot against Wlad, but Vitali will just run through him.

Hey man, that's all fair and logical. Let's see how he shows up. He's still relatively young. All people are different. Look at Ricky Hatton.

Honestly, I don't think we'll see a massive drop into the 240's or even 250's like some people expect. I figure a slight drop due to a change in training focus is most likely what we'll see.

Vitali Klitschko doesn't let up with his punches. He's conditioned to throw shots all night long. I fight with Vitali requires constant movement...constant. That kind of energy expenditure demands that a fighter be in top shape. Without getting too much into numbers, I think we can agree that Odlanier has never fought in peak condition as a pro. I understand that he put on some pounds in an effort to compete with the big boys, but you need serious stamina to mount a sustainable attack on Vitali.

No doubt. Taking bombs from that monster can change the course of a fighter's career. I just think Solis is talented enough to avoid a prolonged beating, a la Briggs, and young enough to recover from the punishment he does sustain.

Fair enough.

Most likely scenario. Vitali doesn't get credit for merely throwing punches in bunches....that is one of the most overlooked facets to his game. Vitali is an offensive machine the likes we have rarely ever seen from our bigs. The ONLY time he stopped throwing punches in a fight is when he couldn't against Byrd.

FUNNY... i would tend to agree... except for the fact that the 3 opponents who've thrown the most leather at Vitali were ripped for there physical stature come fight night.. Lewis.. Sanders & Areolla.. so you never know... although the pace eventually did them in..in the stamina dept.. we will see.
