Solis vs. Austin and Cloud vs. Zuniga

[Rantcatrat]

I like Solis' style. He's just aggressive and a bully. Walks relentlessly forward, throws a punch, follows it up with a push, doesn't seem to give a shit about what's coming back at him. He's like a Sherman Tank.

You actually think this bowling ball of a fighter can beat David Haye?

He has pretty good hand speed for a bowling ball. If Haye can't hurt him than Solis walks through him

His handspeed is okay, I like the way he places his shots, and he's by no means a terrible fighter, I just don't see anything in him that makes me think he can compete with the division's best.

How is this performance any worse than Adamek against Michael Grant though? Austin is a more credible opponent than Grant and Solis is winning every round.

He's a big step up from Vinny Maddelone.

I've never once mentioned Adamek, so I don't see how that is a valid point. I'm far from sold on him as a legitimate heavyweight, I don't think he'll beat anyone of note either.

We agree there then.

My point is that the only fighters I see as performing as well as Solis are the Klitschko's, Haye, Adamek and Povetkin.

He's definitely a contender and I've never seen him in trouble.

What I don't get though is that Adamek was praised for his life and death win over Michael Grant, a fighter so chinny that he was actually KO'd by Dominic Guinn.

Haye never looked like a world champ to me against Monte Barrett or Nikolay Valuev, and he's been floored by Carl Thompson and Jean Marc Mormeck.

Solis is a step above those guys. I think he can take Haye into the deep waters and test him, Adamek too.

I can't see him beating a Klitschko but he's got as good a chance as any of the others.

I'd take him over both Haye and Adamek. I think Povetkin outworks him though unless he gets in shape.

Chambers might do well against him too.

I learned from Arreola that I can't take a fighter seriously who doesn't take training seriously.

Mayorga looks powerfull here! Much better than Andy Lee did against Walker, he couldnt dent his chin.

[Spicoli]

Did you see Solis's quote...."I wanted him to suffer, It was my strategy" Oh and he says "I'm not fat".... Just big boned

[OumaFan]

And Solis still sucks. Sorry fuck.

My hate list is now:

Solis
Klitschkos
Bute
Arthur Abraham
Zahir Raheem

Solis is the truth. Next year you will see.

Also Ouma, I like how even long after his career as a top level fighter is over Zahir Raheem still annoys you

Nothing wrong with holding a grudge Bilbo.... I'm pretty sure in 20 years time the mere mention of the name James Toney will result in my saying "What a ******* ****!"

Yeah he did.

I watched it last night and Mayorga was landing those wide right hands behind Walker's guard and he was splitting the guard with upper cuts.

Good win.
