Fight Preview: Vitali Klitschko Takes on Cuba's Odlanier Solis

by Scott Christ

This Saturday from Cologne, Germany, Vitali Klitschko will once again defend his piece of heavyweight alphabet title pie against a talented but worrisome challenger from Cuba, Odlanier Solis.
Before we get into it, let me again tell you how you can see the fight, particularly if you're in the United States. If you're in the UK, Sky Sports will have the bout as usual, and if you're in Germany, RTL is again the carrier. But in the U.S., it's a new entrant into the boxing fray, as Epix is going to air the bout live. The bad news there is that the premium subscriber channel is on very few carriers in the States, and Comcast and DirecTV, among other major carriers, do not offer the channel. The good news is that Epix is also available as a subscriber service online no matter what cable carrier you have. Now I doubt anyone is looking to immediately add another subscription service to their bill collection, but you can also sign up for their free trial and see the fight on Saturday. I have done so myself and will be giving the channel a look. I can't vouch for the quality of their product as a live stream, and nobody's paying me to plug them either. This is simply a way to see the fight free and legally on Saturday. Check out their Klitschko-Solis page, where you can sign up for the free trial. You can also watch Hot Tub Time Machine, though I do not recommend doing so.
