Just rewatched Klitschko-Solis + thoughts on Cotto, new coach, Vitali

[rochemback]

I know it was only one round, but Solis won it and noone looked better than him against any Klitschkos in quite a few years and he gave Vitali something that he hasn't seen in quite a while, elusive defense and effective offensive bursts.

Thoughts:
1) If Vitali can't find any decent opponent (= Dimitrenko, Haye or Helenius. Povetkin would be the fourth name, but he is already scheduled with Holyfield...)for his next fight, a Solis-rematch is a must. I'm not saying Solis would hold up this well for all 12 rounds, but it sure would be more interesting to find that out than a fight against somebody that most haven't even heard of.

2) I start to really like the idea of Pedro Luis Diaz taking over Cotto's training. His resumé as amateur coach for Cuba (and Dominican republic for a short time, with Felix Diaz winning gold in beijing) is amazing and he has good pro experience with training Solis (making him look good against a Klitschko, even if only for a round) and also helping Pascal, whose managers credit him a lot for the performances against Dawson and Diaconu.
Margarito as a fighter might not be hard to figure out, but he is not really made for Cotto, even without plaster, so he might need a good gameplan here, and Diaz sounds like a master tactician.

Before the fight I thought Solis High guard defense was going to give Vitali hell. Solis is a master at blocking jabs. If it wasn't for him being so damn fat I think he would've beaten Vitali.

Yeah, and that was the fittest he ever showed up for a professional fight! At least he could motivate himself for the fight of his life, but all this wasted potential, the guy was enormously talented as an amateur (beat Savon for example).

It's fun to speculate on what would happen, but I have no doubt Vitali would beat Solis. . .

His fat ass needs to heal up! Then we can talk about a rematch. . . Too much weight on them joints ain't good. . . the human body isn't designed to hold all that weight, much less BOX with it. . .

he sure prepared Solis vs Vitali. for 1 round? rofl his body collapsed on himself in less than a 1 round. now what are you talking about?

I just want to punch some of the boxing fans. complete ******

Solis DIDN'T WIN THE ROUND. He got knocked out, and he wasn't winning the round anyway. I've never seen so much made out of so little in my life.

Solis barely beat Ray Austin, had to win by DQ. He has zero chance of beating Vitali and wouldn't beat many of the others in the top ten right now.

So forget this bum, please. He was a total waste of Vitali's precious time, and he'll NEVER get another shot at him -- bank on that.

How can you win the round if you get knocked down?

Your basing your opinion on a single round in which the trainer in questions fighter was knocked out. And on what someone did in the amateurs.. Aka a completely different sport than professional boxing.

This thread is honest to god bat sh** crazy. Period.
