[yoz]

The weigh-in results will soon be known.

Will Odlanier be in shape?

Doubt it...

Anyone know what time the fight is on?

Odlanier Solis has a beer belly:

I dunno.... This might sound crazy, but Solis doesn't look all that bad -- at least, compared to what he usually looks like.

He needs to keep winning in this condition. What will happen to fat jokes on nsb if he loses? Not fair, Arreola will take full credit.

lol Funny this is, Chris lost a ton of weight and looks no better than Solis. lol

But, all joking aside, what ultimately counts is performance. A guy can look like a Greek god, but can't fight a lick. Some dudes run marathons looking like Odlanier, no exaggeration.

Many think it's a discipline issue Solis has, where it could be more of psychological one. You'd think that after blowing his knee vs Vitali his mind set would change.

Odlanier Solis 257
Tony Thompson 266.5

They are both overweight.

Yeah, but that weight is no surprise for Solis. Thompson, on the other hand, came in heavier than expected. Now, normally this wouldn't mean all that much, but Tony's too old and too slow to begin with. I was thinking Solis decision before; now I'm thinking stoppage.

I think Solis probably has a discipline issue. But, I've always thought maybe his excess weight is at least somewhat by design. Odlanier is a small heavyweight. It's possible that he's tried to compensate with some additional weight. If Solis came into a fight at his leanest, he'd look tiny. I'd love to hear Pedro give his take on all that.

I'd say so. Pedro probably has given him advice. Not sure if Pedro is going to continue with Solis though.
