Tony Thompson vs. Odlanier Solis RbR & Discussion Thread

[damit305]

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.

Seems like Diaz has had a misunderstanding with Oner and Solis according to José Pérez an Arenabox rep in the US. Diaz won't be in Solis' corner.

Sucks, lol, smh. You got it.

I was hoping for 245 but at this point I don't think he'll ever get below 250... The problem with that is he can't use his legs as much when he's heavier. When Solis was an amateur he had some of the best footwork I've seen. This is too heavy for him.

Solis by decision.

[Bigg Rigg]

Sheesh, 257??? Smh too heavy for Solis. How tall is he??? Is he even 6'2???

[Tobi.G]

Solis looks not that bad compared to some other fights. More muscle and less fat but great shape looks different than that.

[Robbie Barrett]

I've lost interest in Solis over the years. He looks content with being fat and fighting low level. Hopefully he shows something against Thompson to bring the interest back.

Solis-Thompson will be televised by BoxNation today

Is that 8pm the fight will actually start or just the program?

[PainfromUkraine]

I'm not sure.

The other telecast is starting an hour earlier than BoxNation.

Here's the full card

Thanks. I'm just going to assume the actual program starts at 8pm and the fight, god knows. But 9pm seems possible. Not sure of the time difference to be exact in Turkey.
