Thats Vitali moron

I think he's pushed himself harder for this one than some of the others.

Odlanier Solis jets bashed because of his weight, but he's a better skilled and more dangerous fighter than, for example, past Vitali opponents Albert Sosnowski and Kevin Johnson.

Vitali knows he will need to be at his best if Odlanier comes in good shape for this one.

The more I analyze this fight, the more I think it may be a more difficult and competitive fight than Vitali (and boxing fans) are used to. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into the hype Solis is getting on these boards.

On the otherhand, Solis didn't look anything special in his last fight against Ray Austin. I saw nothing in him during that fight that would indicate he will give Vitali any trouble. He's a very slow starter, is lethargic and his offense was nonexistent at times.
