Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis Eyes Future After Settling Legal Rift With Oner

[CubanGuyNYC]

I would rather see Oner and others invest in the Cuban's from the 2016 Olympics. Fresh talent, guys who would give anything for an opportunity to get some exposure on TV. Those guys are 100% motivated to become the best they can.

Oner? Lol Not me. But I agree some of the latest Cuban Olympians are worth investing in. My favorite of them all is Robeisy Ramirez. Let's see what happens in the next couple of years, with US-Cuba relations heading in a more positive direction.

Solis is still capable of being competitive if he gets in shape. There are 6 or 7 names that have talent to separate themselves from the pack, the rest is quite ordinary.

After sabotaging his career so much and saying repeatedly he hates boxing, why did he return????

Probably realized there's not a damn thing he's capable of doing that'll pay nearly as well as prizefighting. Really, dude, if I had the talent to make a lucrative career at boxing, I'd work my tail off at it. Solis is an idiot, and a lazy one at that.

I'd say his boxing ability currently will be 'his chance'... not what anyone else has to say. I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. We'll see what happens in the next year or so. If he comes in outta shape and keeps losing, THEN his time is up in the sport. Not before.

He's been coming in out of shape his entire career and you're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt? Not even Christ himself would have your level of patience.

What do we have to do? Move mountains to watch one of his fights or read about it the next day? It isn't like we have to put a lot of effort into this. Or we could put forth none at all. He's the one who has to perform. I'm just not going to start out pre-judging him on this comeback. And if he fails to perform, I'll just move on to some other HW. Not like there aren't a bunch of up-and-comers in the division now anyway.

Well if he keeps going the way he has all this time, well then he has a bright future as a journeyman himself that is if he doesn't start to need a scooter to get to the ring first. I thought after he broke his ankle for coming in a tub of lard to fight Klitchko would have been his wake up call, but naaaahhhh and if that didn't do it I don't know what will.

Except why would you even waste your time in the first place?

Oner isn't someone to screw with. He is well connected & he likes to have criminals as security at his events in Turkey. He has Hells Angels doing security at some of his events there. Oner was pretty irate when Solis quit on his stool & to be honest I never thought I would see Solis fight again. Hell I wouldn't have been shocked if Solis just disappeared. What was even more surprising is he turned up around 240 for that comeback fight. I will take a wait & see approach on him. It's not like he was taking a steady diet of big punches like Arreola so he's not punch drunk. Losing to Thompson twice won't be an easy thing to come back from. TT was a solid fighter & beat some good opponents but he is someone Solis should of beat.

[The Hammer]

We all know what's in his future – about 50 Big Macs.

To think, he was soundly (and shockingly) outboxing Vitali in that first round until his knee buckled up.

He wasn't outboxing Vitali, it was an even round.

READ what I wrote above friend. Don't start a fight when there's no reason to start a fight. Geez man, I'm not repeating myself over and over. Let it go.
