Solis vs Vitali weight-in photos

[IIG]

The Klit's are great fighters and deserve all the success they have accomplished but I'm not going to give the Klit bros credit for having "serious discipline". Worldclass athletes are supposed to have serious discipline when it comes to training no matter what sport you're in.

Yeah, but how many do? They deserve credit for staying in great shape year round, which fewer fighters do these days. It shows a true respect for the sport and their condition, and that deserves credit. The fans never have to question what kind of shape they will be in. Kudos to Vitali especially for coming back to boxing in top shape after sitting out for several years.

Solis looks overweight.

Which is good for him.

Vitali by TKO.

He is still a sloppy fat mess. Disgraceful. Even worse than most parties because of how much talent he started with.

This fight blows. Bring on wlad-haye or vit-adamek so I can see two good fighters in the ring, in shape, again. I hate this ish

Uhh...I love these people mentioning certain ripped guys from the past and certain fat guys today.

Uhh..you nostalgic, repetitive morons ever hear of Rid**** Bowe or Buster Douglas or Buster Mathis...or pretty much anyone named Buster.

Some fat guys Vitali recently fought:










GOD THEY ARE ALL SO FAT...The way they all have 6 pack well defined abs...GOD THERES SO MUCH FAT.

Heavyweights are packing on more weight these days, a lot of it is muscle, some guys, mainy arreola, solis, and fast eddie come to mind really just pack on whatever weight they can find because 1. they are trapped, they are naturally around the CW level, but theres no money there, and theyre too small to be really fit at HW. and 2. They can get away with it because they all 3 have naturally fast hands and reflexes. They are that 2nd or third tier fighter, there have been guys like that forever in boxing.

If any of you have been following Solis' carreer from the start you would know that the weight gain was intentional.

In all of his early fights he was unable to get rid of his opponents, or muscle them around as easily as he wanted to and even said in an after-fight interview that he was going to add weight.

As soon as he did, he's knocking out and bullying opponents easily, as the size fits in with his style of moving fighters into the corner of the ring and then unloading on them.

I think most of the weight added as in the shoulders (although he definitely added so fat to his frame as well). The Austin fight was the only one that didn't impress me. Even at 270 in the Barrett fight he looked deadly.

What they did here, is they probably changed the focus of his training for this fight, which probably had the effect of cutting some of the fat from his frame.

This 246/247 weight is probably perfect for him.

Call me crazy if you want: TKO Solis.

Completely untrue. Solis weighed 258.5lbs in his first pro fight, check boxrec. Dude just got fat.

interesting, so you think that Solis being in bad shape will not effect his ability to perform in the fight? I see.

or perhaps you just wanted to turn any and every Klitschko topic into a jerk off session?

First of all he has been 250 - 270 in the pros, so he has been consistently fat in the PROS


Secondly, muscle weighs more than fat. Taking that fact into account, if Solis would have trained properly, he could have gained weight, looked more threatening to his opponents, have better endurance and have even more power and strength.

Wow. I think this fight will prove to be tougher than the others you mentioned. But I definitely see where you're coming from.

It's says more about the rest of the HW division. To give respect to a world class athlete cause he's always in shape doesn't make any sense at all. That's his f-ucking job. Maybe I should give Usain Bolt and Messi credit for always being in shape....no I don't think so.

You guys know you can be in shape and still have a little body fat right? At heavyweight at least.
