Solis is he in line for a title shot, or is he just in line for the buffet?

Odlanier faces off against Ray "Hasn't fought in over a year and is over 40" Austin in a WBC title eliminator clash. The winner here gets a shot at Vitali Klitschko, maybe unless the wrong guy wins and then they have another title eliminator, or if Haye decides to fight Vitali, then it all means nothing.

Also Tavoris Cloud is fighting Fulgencio "Tomato Can Diet" Zuniga. This should actually be an entertaining fight, pretty much impossible to go to decision. Both guys always bring it and have reasonably good chins.

Both fights are worth watching IMO, probably not FOTY candidates (although Cloud/Zuniga has that potential) but entertaining ones none the less.
Solis has fought NOBODY and is in line for a title shot ?! WTF ? That fat fuck has done nothing to earn it. And Ray Austin has heart but not much skill so I don't expect him to put up much of a fight.

Zuniga is actually a pretty good fighter. Aside from Lucian Bute destroying him, he has done pretty well when I've watched him.

I expect Cloud to big too big, too young and too hungry for him tho. Should be a good fight while it lasts.
Monte Barrett was a big enough name for Wlad and Haye to get a title shot with fwiw.
Barrett was a good fighter for what he was. Tons of heart, some boxing skill, just not a world beater.

He was def better than anyone Solis has tried to eat, I mean fight.
Solis destroyed Barret.

Besides Austin, Chisora, Harrison and Sosjnoswki are hardly better names than Solis.

Solis may not have done much to deserve a shot, but absolutely everybody else has already been beaten. If not Solis, then who else?

Besides, Solis beats all of these mentioned by me abover imo. He's a legit challenge, although like Povetkin, I would rather he worked on improving his skills and conditioning and get a couple tougher fights in first.
