Haye says Solis knew how to beat Vitali, but his obesity stopped him

By William Mackay: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye tipped his hand how he plans on fighting the Klitschkos in his recent comments on his twitter page when he gave his thoughts on why Odlanier Solis (17-1, 12 KO’s) failed in his fight against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (42-2, 39 KO’s) in Cologne, Germany. Solis’ right leg blew out after he got hit with a right hand.

Haye said “Solis knew how to beat Vit, but years of obesity stopped him from being able to execute.” Haye looked exactly one round of action and came away thinking that Solis had figured out how to beat the 6’7″ Klitschko. This is kind of silly to say the least because it takes more than one round to tell whether one fighter has figured out how to beat another. But what it does kind of tell you is how Haye is going to try and fight Vitali or Wladimir when the time comes. Solis used a lot of movement against Vitali and landed hard left hooks and short right hands. Solis found a lot of success with his left hook. That was something he was able to use frequently.

Solis also landed a number of short compact right hands to the head of Vitali. Solis wasn’t crazy enough to throw more than a one or two shots at a time and when he did finally try and land a combination, he got hurt. Haye is going to try and fight the same way using left hooks and right hand pot shots. If Haye throws long looping right hands or left hooks, he’s going to get knocked out quickly. His only chance is to throw short hooks and right hands like Solis was throwing and hope he doesn’t get tenderized in the process by Wladimir or Vitali’s jabs.

    the problem for Vitalis Foes is that he knows how to do that beating a guy also.

  • PATPUMP says:

    Solis’s weight may have been his downfall but Haye’s stupidity and lack of boxing skills will be his downfall

  • Mr. T says:

    And yes: Wladimir will duck Haye. Everyone will see! He already called himself “weaker brother” that Haye choosed, because he is weaker. So it´s obvious that he will send his bigger brother.
    And I have no doubt that Vitali will knock Haye out.

  • Mr. T says:

    @jackson: The everyone saw the round for Solis, even Klitschko´s trainer.

  • Rick says:

    Racquet

    Why do you twist facts? Haye backed out of fighting Wladimir in 09. He claimed he pulled his back. Later, Haye backed out of fighting Vitali and chose Valuev instead.

    You say Wladimir has a glass jaw. I would like to have seen Haye taking the shots which had knocked Wladimir with. Wladimir got knocked down by Sanders who was a very fast and powerful puncher. Wlad got up each time he was knocked down by Sanders. Haye would have been counted out by those same shots.

    Where is all of the cleaning up that Haye had promised? Haye has faced a series of senior citizens at heavyweight. He has not faced a heavyweight under the age of 36 to date.

    solis landed 4 punches in the round, so he must of won, even thoiugh he got hit about 10 times and knocked out. yet whats even stranger, solis is better than haye. to begin with, solis has knocked out haye, he beat barrett far more easily, and knocked out austin, who is far stronger and faster and better than valuev, whom haye barely beat. so vitali and haye will look like the solis fight, only haye probably wont last as long.

    thats the funnyst thing hay e has said since the gang rape comment

  • Jeffrey says:

    Everyone knows how to be the Vitali and Wlad…BEFORE the fight…

    You wnat to beat Vitalli start with having a chin. Something both Solis and Haye come up a little short on.

  • Robot says:

    Solis was doing very well tapping Vitaly with his best shots until Vitali just knocked him out and he fell like a sack of potatoes. Great round for Solis I’d say.

  • Robot says:

    Everyone knows how to beat Vitali until they are in the ring with him. Then they suffer from this weird combination of memory loss, rubbery legs and diarrhea. They cant even look the man in the eyes. Bizzare…
