Comments Thread For: Photos/Weights: Vitali Klitschko 249, Odlanier Solis 246

Not only is Solis the 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist but he also beat the 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist (Savon) in the trials. Cuba still chose to send Savon to Olympics in 2000. Solis would be 2x Olympic Gold Medalist. Amazing what the media can do to make someone look better than he is. Klitschko has zero credentials. His most notable career moments were losses.[/LIST]

The distance between Solis then and now is 50lbs.

that's the least he could do

would have been embarrassing to outweigh a 6'8 giant

Well he outweighed a fat 6'6" giant by over 20 lbs just a few months ago.

I like the wait he came in at. Might even put some real money on it if the odds are right. Vitali turns 40 in a couple months and looks a little softer than usual.

Lightest weight Solis has been since he turned pro BTW.

Solis takes a knee in the late rounds between Round 10 and Round 12. Still, I see him going the distance but out pointed in all score cards. Klitcho jabs and ****s with Solis. Solis goes for the body but gets head shots by Klitcho and Solis will try to tie up (clinch) Klitcho in much of the rounds every time he goes for the body. He has lousy footwork so I think every time he goes for the body he will be too slow to move away from Klitcho's power punches right/left hooks and the jabs he takes from coming in.

I say Solis will be great until Round 8 that is when he gas out.

I cant wait to see the look on the face of everyone who thinks Vitali is going to win this fight. Tomorrow Vitali is going to get exposed. Vitali avoided Solis for a reason. Anyone who thinks his uninspired wins in the pros is any indication of what's to come tomorrow is in for a surprise. The sentiment after tomorrow is going to be "Damn!!! I never saw that coming". You heard it hear.. not only is Solis going to win but he is going to embarass Vitali.

Solis at 250 has footspeed, handspeed and one punch knockout power:

That opponent was called Austin and not Klitschko though.

You're a complete idiot.

After Vitali annhilates SpongeBob Solis you'll be back on here for his next fight still saying he has zero credentials.

No way. Vitali wants this KO very badly. He is very proud of his KO% and is pissed off that he didn't get Briggs to fall.

Solis isn't as tough as Briggs. He's going down hard. Wait until VK starts hammering that fat belly on Solis. He won't last long.

I see you finally watched Vitali vs Byrd!

People laugh when I say Byrd dominated that fight but the punch stats dont lie...

370 MISSED punches? Thats cartoonishly bad accuracy.

Good, since you are so confident put our bet in your signature fradey cat.
