Wladimir Klitschko VS Odlanier Solis..

[damit305]

Solis beats Wlad.

Someone with a decent chin and who came to fight with extremely limited skills reduced Wlad to the worst possible Heavyweight Champion I've ever imagined.

There were whole rounds with no punches landing. My friends and I were laughing hysterically in disbelief. An embarrassing outing.

Solis with his responsible high guard, and sharp counter right over top (a punch Povetkin was trying to land and was able to connect firmly once in the 11 or 12th IIRC) would end him.

Yesterday's fight reaffirmed my belief that Wladimir is a Champion who has always had to rely on his infinitely better older brother Vitali to clear the path by softening or completely removing the true challenges. Wladimir should never be mentioned in any p4p or ATG discussions.

This is a great post.

Solis has certain intangibles that would be detrimental to Wlad.

Wlad vs who cares...division sucks

As been the case with many fighters, sometimes the one least expected can raise eyebrows.

Arreola was counted out by many, but was fed to us by the "entertainment" industry. And he just got himself a chance by defeating Mitchell, regardless of what is thought of them.

Well, I am a boxing genius. And I have analyzed this fight and determined that Wlad win in whatever round he wants. Solis's best victory was landing 4 punches on Vitali. Either that or going wire to wire to fat old Ray Austin. His high guard is too open and Wlad would pepper him with jabs. He is too fat and too slow and Wlad would have his knees buckle after the second round due to clinching. This thread was started by a racist nationalist who is obsessed with fighters based on nationality and not skill. You will not beat this version of Wlad without coming in dedicated. Solis will never do that. Even if he did he still loses, but maybe he'd have a chance. Current Wlad has two weaknesses...a bolo punch and stamina. Solis is fat and disgusting. I would kill myself if I looked at him.

Look if Solis wants the fight, fight some legit competition. Going the distance with guys who got poleaxed in one round by Charr doesnt help. Beat a top 10 fighter. Heck Povetkin needs a fight go after him. The dude is a coward. Got hurt in the first round of his only real fight. Beat someone of note, beat Arreola, Haye, Stiverne, Povetkin, Wilder...heck go fight Jonathon Banks or something. This clown never beat anyone.

Go ahead and do us the favor.

Seems like Wlad would be very effective with his jab in this one, Solis has the guard, parries well and does have overall good D...but he doesn't change levels enough for me to avoid a Wlad jab and stay as accurate...it will disrupt the great timing he has. I suppose he still he has a chance to catch Wlad cleaner than others, but I don't think it's the one or two shots that bothers Klit, it's the wild sequences that disrupt him and that's not really Solis imo.
I dont think Wlad will devolve to level he showed against Povetkin, I think he was handcuffed couldnt find his jab and resorted to holding, i expected it to be extreme but assumed the ref would be warning wlad..that never happend. This would be a much cleaner fight I think, a better Wladimir.

Solis likes to stalk and is a master at not telegraphing his punches and also paces himself very well. Decent foot work and ring generalship have always been on his side regardless of his competition. Against Vitali, we saw some of this as little as it lasted.
Given Solis performs like aforementioned along with better stamina/conditioning he'd be able to take Wlad on a long ride.
