Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis-Tony Thompson Bout Targeted For 3/22

[Jewish-Reptile]

Even if he wins Solis still black listed for me unless he shows up in shape and shows he gives a fk for once not enough to sc**** by on talent alone. I think Karma got him when his knee blew out literally for being obese in the biggest fight of his career if he didn't learn from that then it is a lost cause.

Very true.I got No respect for Solis whatsoever.when Vitali hit him with the first real big punch,had it not been for that hulking mass coming down on his legs as they gave out,I'd like to think he could have recovered and continued.he blew it himself through exceptionally poor conditioning,in fact the very opposite of conditioning.

GLUTTONY

Good fight for both guys,, winner solidifies his spot in the top 10, loser will be bounced out of contention...

If solis is the goods, he should win by mid rounds stoppage,,

I fear both guys will gas and we will get a stinker of a fight for 12 rounds

You could be right here,the first eight rounds should and likely will be competitive,as well as entertaining the latter third of the fight,will be a stinker.

What a warrior Thompson is, He faces Klitschko, Price, Pulev and now Solis.

With that being said if Solis is on top of his game Thompson has no chance. Looking forward to a Solis knockout, or at least a lop-sided decision.

Solis had better look good. No disrespect to Tony, but he's old and slow.

Thompson has fought pretty stiff competition the last couple years. throw in a cancelled bout with eddie chambers & there is no denying Thompson is making the most money he can while he still has something in the tank. got to admire that. solis should win this fight but the tiger could hang around with him if he doesn't put the pedal to the metal. he can't be taking naps in between rounds (looks like he could do that)or else he could lose this fight. this is a great matchup. wish tony was a little younger but he should still give solis problems.

Great fight if it happens (given all the HW cancellations recently, including what would have been an interesting matchup between Solis and Johnson by Solis ducking, I'll only believe it when I see it). I'd make Solis a slight favorite. I expect something similar to the Thompson Pulev fight, where Thompson was outboxing him the first half of the fight, then gasses out(the fight was much closer than most people credit it, Thompson won at least 4 of the first 6 rounds). So, Thompson wins the early rounds, then starts to fade. I think Solis has a better chance of ko'ing Thompson in the later rounds than Pulev did.

No way Tony outboxes Solis. Odlanier is an underachiever, in part, because he's skilled. Solis wins practically every round of this fight, if it goes the distance. If Thomson gasses, Odlanier might just KO him.

At least Solis was in better shape than in any other professional fight. Solis injury had not much to do with his conditioning in that particular fight, it happened because he was walking around obese for years before. And even when totally out of shape, he can still go 12 rounds and his skills are pretty much there. Of course he cant go a high pace then.

Thompson's only Chance is to show up at 110-112kg in a great shape and to fight like in 2008 against Wladimir Klitschko. He definitely has more experience but Solis is more talented, works harder and is mentally stronger in my opinion.

60-40 fight in favour of Solis. If Thompson Comes in a great shape, I would then rate it as a 55-45 fight still in favour of Solis

Solis has more experience that Thompson... by far.
