Klitschko vs. Solis: Odlanier’s youth might be the key to this fight
February 21st, 2011
By Dave Lahr: There’s no doubt that unbeaten Cuban Odlanier Solis (17-0, 12 KO’s) is more skilled than WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (41-2, 38 KO’s) going into their March 19th fight at the Lanxess-Arena, in Cologne, Germany. Solis is 30-years-old, nine years younger than the 39-year-old Vitali.
That’s going to be Klitschko’s problem in this fight with the younger Solis. This is the best fighter that Vitali will have ever faced during his 17-year pro career and it’s coming at a really bad time for Vitali because he’s getting up there in age. Solis has to make sure that he pushes the fight and makes Vitali fight at a much faster pace than what he’s been accustomed to fighting in the past. Vitali is like an old car with over 300,000 miles on him. If you let Vitali fight at a slow pace, he can go another 100,000 easily. But if you force him to fight hard for long period of time, you’ll see Vitali fold up like he did in his loss to Chris Byrd. Solis has to fight hard, go for the delicate skin around Vitali’s eyes, and not allow him his rest breaks in the way of clinching. Solis can’t let Vitali rest his wearing bones. He’s got to take the fight to him and make him look like an old man.

Burnett and Julius Long exposed Odlanier long ago in the Pros. He didn’t even give Ray Austin a good fight! Its in the stars Klitschko by Kayo.
I am so glad I work for DISH Network and have their service. I will be able to watch this fight in a clear crisp picture in HD. I can’t wait for this fight. I don’t think the age difference will have anything to do with this fight. It’s all about experience and skills I personally think. I am betting on Klitschko for this match.
with V. K. I don,t think the age issue is all that much yet.but in 2 or 3 yers if vitali slacks on training and gets bored with training then maybe the yuth factor will reign in.But for now it is a non issue.It is size skill, and experience.
“you need to really rough up the klitschos to beat them they dont like that kind of fight”
———-
Vitali doesn’t like a rough fight?
hahahaha!
So many casual fans on this site, all posting imaginary “facts” they dreamed up.
you need to really rough up the klitschos to beat them they dont like that kind of fight,lose that 30 pound weight round ya belly n yer will win,solis
And as for Solis pushing Vitali at a pace he is not use to,Vitali has one of highest work rates of any heavy weight against Briggs punch stats 302 / 727 , against Arreloa Vitali threw over 800 punches. Vitali average around 40 punches a round.
Dr Eisen Faust had an amatuer record of 195-15. Not much difference than Solis 225-14 except Klitschko fought in Super Heavyweights. Burnett popped his jab numerous times in Solis’ kisser in a pro fight. Whose Burnett?
I love the way Lahr always brings up the Byrd fight and conviently leaves out that Byrd was well behind in the score cards and looked like he was getting close to being stopped when Vitali tore his rotery cuff and and had to stop.But up till that point he was easily handling Byrd.
Can’t wait to read after fight writing by Dave Lahr, good thing not so much time left to wait. Will be funny as hell for me.
Dear Mao, if you’re so sure that Solis is going to beat Vitaly easily – just put your money on Solis’s win, you can get 6 time more than you bet. Because for Vitaliy’s win it is only 1.11. I will not put my money on Solis in this fight, no way
oh common dave liar no one get believe to all of your predictions and i think that someday even your family and friends wont believe you anymore because of your nonsence and critics and writtings. so if i were you you have to change your proffesions and have a deeply seminar and training on how to analyse such things..
Dave, I’m surprise you are still alive oh! I mean you are still there.
lol!
I bet that if Julius Long was fighting with lighter gloves he would have laid pipe on Solis rather than just take him to the distance. Right Mao!
hey dave liar… your montiel slept on the canvass… hak hak hak
everybody is free to say whatever he or she wants its internet you know, but plzzzz DAVID LIar dont waste our times with you hate-feeling-predictions\\\\\\\\\\\\\, those are just your words, you are just another excited fan nothing more nothing less, be real.
I don,t think solis could have beaten lennox Lewis ,if lewis trained hard for the fight.solis was knocked down by David haye in the first round and tells me he can be hit.however he did have the ware with all to go on to win by a stoppage himself.So this guy solis is for real.He has easily defeated some decent heavywieghts .not great ones but pretty good ones.but he did have one of his hardest fights against Ray Awstin,who Wlad stopped in round two I believe.Ahhh,if Solis is at his best and so is vitali,we are in for a real heavywieght championship fight.no sense in knocking a world champion with words till after the fight and we have seen it.
Solis will make cry alot of people,just when vitali looses dont forget him,cause he has done a lot,but time has come,bro ,solis new wbc champ.
I can’t believe I wasted a few precious minutes of my life reading this child-like nonsense.
Mao, you also little man? Ivan like your courage. Funny. Solis will loose but not last fight of Solis, if makes good fight. So everyone happy
noone is unbeatable bro, if you have ever fought you would know ther will be someone better,faster,and stronger than you,if you think vitali is invencible dont get sad when he looses,im cuban and ive done boxing since i was 8year old,just remenber , alway there will be someone better than you,no matter what sport you practice.
VK will destroy the little man. This wont be close Dave, why promote it?
@Jeff. Lewis won. Just for record.
If someone thinks Vitali has more boxing skills than solis,DONT have a clue about boxing,stonger punch maybe and taller but he is slower and older,no good to fight someone like solis,but we have to wait,im 95% solis will be the new HW champ.
Bobsey Twins AKA Klitschko Bros.
Devils advocates Friscoes that “say” Solis is gonna give a good fight!
Lahr Drek
Odlanier´s fat might be the key to this fight.
Its getting closer to the Klitschko fight, less than a month away, All that has been said up to now means diddely. Its Lahr time. More fu—chin propaganda toward the Bobse twins. For all you freakin idiots that think Solis is gonna give a good fight, look up Youtube Burnett, and Long! He was definitely exposed here! You guys are really plaing delils advocate arn’t you?
all the stories have been told of kings and days of old but there’s no England now.
Solis will give Vitali alot of problem, i like the klitschko but Solis a is tough guy…
Ivan Borov
How good has Haye’s opposition been at H/W? Haye has not fought a heavyweight under the age of 36 to date. Ruiz, Valuev, Barrett fought like 50 yr olds. Also, Haye never fought the best at cruiserweight – Steve Cunningham.
Why didnt Haye have the guts to face Solis in a rematch? Watch for Haye to duck Povetkin and Boytsov also. Instead, Haye will go for Holyfield, Mormeck or Tarver.
What happened to Montiel Davey boy? Idiot. The bookies must love you.
Lahr hates Russians and Filippinos.
Solis has a stratagy ,if he cannot out box Vitali he will belly buck him down.
Didn’t Lahr also say Briggs was going to tear the tissue paper skin around Vitalis eyes also?And didnt lahr also say that Gomez was to fast to slick and too skilled also?
Ah Dave, really? More skilled?
You must be smoking what I was 10-years ago.
Vitali by TKO 8.
Solis is a slob.
P-friggin’-A
Best fighter in a 17 year career….. Bold statement considering he fought Lennox Lewis
