if solis is 247, he is in great shape

This is Solis' lowest weight in three years! You can crack as many fat jokes as you want from a computer chair, but the bottom line is Vitali better be ready for a hell of a fight.

amazing how everyone is actually praising Solis for still being fat and seemingly out of shape

Well he has trained a bit harder this time. He probably was in th 270's before he started his training camp. He was never going to lose all that weight and turn up in the best shape in one camp. He left it too late to take his training seriously.

Yes he would probably have been best taking that fat off over a one year span and cutting his weight in each fight. he should be sub 225lb imo.

Guys this is a guy was an amateur cruiserweight. He should be 225 at the heaviest. I just don't see the power and speed for him to do much with Vitali. He should get stopped in the middle to late rounds.

I think his defense and handspeed is going to give Vitali problems...He's got decent power too.

The difference about solis and most fighters is that other fighters put on healthy weight beetween fights.

Solis is just soft in the mid-section. He doesnt just have excess weight. He carries too much fat. He needs to do some fkn sit ups or something.

Yes that might be the best shape hes been in a long time. but that in no way is the best shape and conditioning he can achieve.

I still like his chances. He got power , very underrated speed. And is a hell of a boxer too.

But I would like to see him committed. I dont think he is really devoted 100%

Relative to before, yes. But 247 is still quite pathetic. Really sad discipline smh

If any of you have been following Solis' carreer from the start you would know that the weight gain was intentional.

In all of his early fights he was unable to get rid of his opponents, or muscle them around as easily as he wanted to and even said in an after-fight interview that he was going to add weight.

As soon as he did, he's knocking out and bullying opponents easily, as the size fits in with his style of moving fighters into the corner of the ring and then unloading on them.

I think most of the weight added as in the shoulders (although he definitely added so fat to his frame as well). The Austin fight was the only one that didn't impress me. Even at 270 in the Barrett fight he looked deadly.

What they did here, is they probably changed the focus of his training for this fight, which probably had the effect of cutting some of the fat from his frame.

This 246/247 weight is probably perfect for him.

Call me crazy if you want: TKO Solis.

The Klitschkos aren't your average heavyweights. They're exceptional men. To achieve what they have in and out of the ring you need serious discipline.

The Klit's are great fighters and deserve all the success they have accomplished but I'm not going to give the Klit bros credit for having "serious discipline". Worldclass athletes are supposed to have serious discipline when it comes to training no matter what sport you're in. A lot of these HW's are a disgrace and make boxing look bad when they can't get into great shape.
