Any opinions? One again, it is another outclassed fighter up against one of the twins. Solis is a former Oly champion that didn't do anything great after he went pro. He's beaten a few decent guys, but no one I would call a contender. Solis KO's about 2/3 of the time, but that number might be inflated by his list of opponents. To Solis's credit, he took his training a bit more seriously. He's fighting at 250 (at 6'1), which is his lowest weight in a long time.
Klitschko is 39 now. But Vitali has been a machine, just wearing down and picking opponents apart.
Boxing is one of two sports I actually enjoy watching. I don't claim to be an expert at it, but it is the only sport I'll place a small "action" wager when watching.
My action wager: Under 9.5 rounds at +133. Can Solis get lucky and end the fight quickly? Or will Solis tire, and eventually end up on his back? Solis is not in the same league as Vitali. 251 at 6'1 is a lot of weight. Vitali's precise attacks (and the threat of a big right) will wear down Solis. When he tires, Vitali goes in for the kill.
I like Vitali also, but not at -600.
