By Jason Kim: Few boxing fans are giving the dumpy-looking unbeaten heavyweight challenger Odlanier Solis (17-0, 12 KO’s) any chance at beating WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (41-2, 38 KO’s) in their fight on March 19th at the Lanxess-Arena, in Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Solis, a fighter with little experience at heavyweight against quality fighters, has been getting heavier and heavier in recent years.

Klitschko-Solis: Will Odanier have the conditioning to beat Vitali?
By Dan Ambrose: Heavyweight challenger Odlanier Solis (17-0, 12 KO’s) has his work cut out for him against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (41-2, 38 KO’s) on March 19th at the Lanxess-Arena, in Cologne, Germany. Solis, 6’1″, is six inches shorter than the 6’7″ Vitali and quite a bit fatter than him at 260 lbs compared to the slender 250 pound Vitali. But most importantly, Solis’ lack of stamina will be a huge factor in this fight unless Solis can somehow make improvements on that during his training camp for this bout.

Prediction: Solis will wear down Klitschko and make him look old on 3/19
By Dave Lahr: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (41-2, 38 KO’s) had no choice but to take on his number #1 contender the unbeaten Odlanier Solis (17-0, 12 KO’s). The fight couldn’t be put off any longer, as Vitali would have been stripped if he had looked to duck Solis any further. On March 19th, Vitali is going to have wished that he could have found a way out of this fight by vacating the title rather than facing Solis, because Vitali is going to be exposed and badly beaten by the younger, faster and more talented Cuban when they meet up at the Lanxess-Arena, Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
