Odlanier Solis abandona en el 9no frente a Tony Thompson [Video]

f fight 

By Jim Dower: 43-year-old former two time world title challenger Tony Thompson (40-5, 27 KOs) stopped a badly out of shape 272 pound Odlanier Solis (20-3, 13 KOs) on Friday night in stopping him in the 9th round in front of a sparse crowd at the Gloria Sports Arena, Gloria Hotels and Resorts, Antalya, Turkey.

A balding and flabby looking 34-year-old Solis failed to come out for the 9th round. Solis didn’t look hurt in between the 8th and 9th rounds at the time of the stoppage. He just looked tired and grossly overweight.

Solis looked like he hadn’t trained at all for the fight, as he had rolls of fat on his midsection. The 272 matches the career-high he weighed for his fight against Konstantin Airich in May of 2012. That was when Solis came off of a 14 month layoff following a knee injury he suffered in getting blown out in one round by former WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in March of 2011.

Thompson, who looked slow, was able to outwork Solis in every round by hitting him with left hands and right hooks and a lot of jabs. Every once in a while, Solis would load up on a shot and throw a leaping punch. But other than that, it was pretty much all one-way traffic coming from Thompson.

Solis and Thompson fought each other last year in March. Thompson defeated Solis by a 12 round split decision.

The win for Thompson keeps his career alive for now. As for Solis, it’s hard to see where he can go from here. Unless Solis can take off weight in a major way, he’s not going to go anywhere in the sport.

You have to ask why Solis didn’t train harder to get ready for this fight because he was so badly out of shape that he couldn’t mount much of an offense. In looking at all the fat that Solis was carrying on his frame, he looked like he was easily 40-50 pounds overweight for the fight.

If Solis could have trimmed down to around 220-230, he’d be a good fighter. But, of course, it might be impossible for Solis to take that kind of weight off at 34. He would need a really great trainer, and he might need someone to be with him to monitor his daily intake of food. If he were to gorge on food after training every day, he’d be defeating the purpose of all the training he’s doing.

Odlanier Solís vence por nocaut técnico al turco Yakup Saglam

SkiJumping2012

Diario de Cuba

El cubano Odlanier Solís derrotó este sábado en siete rounds, por nocaut técnico, al turco Yakup Saglam, y retuvo el título intercontinental pesado de la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB), informa Univisión.com.

En la pelea, realizada en Cuxhaven, Alemania, La Sombra Solís (20-1, 13 KOs) fue superior a Saglam (29-3, 26 KOs) y minó su resistencia hasta que en el séptimo round lo envió a la lona. El árbitro puso fin a la pelea debido a las condiciones en que se encontraba el turco.

La pelea con Saglam ha sido considerada un escalón más hacia la cima de la división pesada, donde están instalados los hermanos ucranianos Wladimir y Vitali Klitstcko.

Vitali derrotó a Solís por nocaut en el primer asalto el 19 de marzo de 2011, en Colonia, Alemania, en la discusión de la corona del Consejo Mundial (CMB).

La Sombra ganó el título intercontinental de la Federación Internacional (FIB) en una pelea frente al noruego Leif Larsen, el 22 de marzo pasado, en Berlín.

Odlanier Solis vs Konstantin Airich [19.05.2012]

Dependiente del peso: ODLANIER SOLIS

Weigh-In: Odlanier Solis - 267.5, Airich 225.75

Por Andrés Pascual

       Cuando el completo cubano Odlanier Solís peleó contra Klitschko pesó 246 libras, en menos tiempo que el que canta un gallo, se lesionó gravemente la rodilla.

       Aquella pelea quedó como un intento frustrado del habanero con demasiada fanfarria triunfalista previa de los seguidores del antillano.

       Biológicamente y comprobado en el ring, el exceso de peso corporal adquirido por un boxeador para un compromiso determinado no lo hace pegador, sino que le resta velocidad. Por lo que nunca puede sacrificarse esta, que es el verdadero arma de un púgil, por las apariencias de poderío que da convertirlo en un escaparate de menos movilidad: el Sugar Ray Robinson magistral y poderoso lo fue durante su paso por la división welter, en los medianos, aunque continuó gaando, ya no era igual, porque perdió velocidad…

       Si un boxeador es sometido a exigencias para pesar más y “pegar más duro”, lo primero que se debe tener en cuenta es que los contrarios en esa división estan en capacidad de asimilar la pegada de ese peso, si no con facilidad, por lo menos sin aspavientos.

      Para un boxeador que acaba de salir de un proceso de rehabilitación por una lesión en una rodilla que puso en peligro su carrera para el que, a pesar de todo, todavía no se sabe cuál sera su evolución en la práctica oficial, la medida de hacerlo más pesado, supongo, es una contraindicación.

      A través del tiempo, a los atletas con lesiones en las piernas, sobre todo en las rodillas, se les mantiene en forma activa bajando de peso, no al revés. Por lo menos eso es lo que siempre he oído o leído desde hace 50 años.

      Esta noche Solís (17-1, 12 KO’s), sube en Texas contra Constatin Airich (23-5-2, 17 KO’s) con 267 libras, 21 más de las que un movimiento rutinario e inofensivo casi le cuesta la carrera. Por supuesto que no sugiero una derrota, a fin de cuentas, a pesar del récord decente que tiene, Airich debe ser una figura meticulosamente escogida para que el cubano “cumpla las expectativas”; tampoco sugiero otra lesión, pero el Diablo son las cosas y el problema no es solo hoy, sino mañana también.

      La pelea es por uno de esos títulos raros e inservibles que dan los organismos para engañar al público cuando no hay el mínimo interés fanático ni para transmitirla por cualquier canal de los que acostumbran como relleno. En McAllen.

Declaraciones de Vitali Klitschko

Sobre Odlanier Solis y Neo Club Press

comentarios sobre el post de neo club press Klitschko ridiculiza a Solís 

efectivamente la pelea fue una decepcion absoluta pero no por lo que senala el despacho de la afp que alguien se apresuro en copiar y pegar y que no se si vio los apenas dos minutos y medio de la pelea el minimo necesario de 20 veces para entender que ocurrio, o si alguna vez se ha sentado al menos en el ring side de un combate, no ya ponerse unos guantes y subirse a un ring.

ante un hombre que lo arriesgo todo ante un futuro bien incierto y dejo de ser una marioneta propagandista del clan de biran, hay que ser precavido en el empleo de los calificativos, al menos que existan pruebas incuestionables sobre su conducta.

y esas pruebas como cualquier conocedor del boxeo y de la traumatologia deportiva no existen. nadie en el mundo del boxeo se cuestiono la aplastante derrota que sufrio el entonces campeon de las 154 lbs yuri foreman ante miguel cotto unos 8 meses atras, precisamente por una lesion en su rodilla derecha, que es la mas proclive a lesionarse en boxeadores derechos pues es la pierna pivot donde recae mas de 70% del cuerpo.

al margen de usuales micro traumatismos anteriores y estructura oseo-muscular, la inmensa mayoria de las lesiones de rodilla en los boxeadores ocurren precisamente en la pierna pivot por dos razones fundamentales.

por una inapropiada suela de las zapatillas respecto al encerado que se empleara en una pelea en particular. ni todas las suelas son iguales ni todos los encerados lo son. es lo mismo que sucede en los paises nordicos que usted tiene que cambiar las gomas normales de su auto por snow tires tan pronto va a comenzar el invierno; o lo que se hace en cualquiera carrera automovilistica donde se cambian los neumaticos cada vez que se modifican las condiciones atmosfericas y/o el estado de la pista.

alguien tiene que haberse percatado que uno de los mas grandes cerradores del beisbol de las grandes ligas, mariano rivera, se lleva la mano semicerrada en forma de tubo a la boca entre lanzamiento y lanzamiento y sopla a traves del orificio, solo para que el vapor de agua de la respiracion natural se impregne en las yemas de sus dedos. la famosa recta que se le "mueve" al gran mariano, y que lo ha convertido en un seguro "hall of fame", es resultado de ese pequeno detalle. si manana se lo prohibieran, mariano seria un lanzador mas del bullpen y no el astro que es.

era prevenible la dramatica lesion que pone en riesgo la carrera de solis? si era prevenible. hace unos dias comentaba en el sitio baseball por siempre, que pedro luis no debia ser el entrenador principal de solis, al margen que haya sido quien lo atiende desde que siendo un juvenil llego a la finca que todo el mundo se refiere equivocadamente como la finca del wajay cuando realmente se encuentra ubicada en el guatao.

pedro luis tenia que estar en el cuerpo de entrenadores, pero su inexperencia en este otro "boxeo" , es un importante handicap con el que arrastra solis, que posiblemente ni el mismo sepa. cualquier entrenador mediocre sabe que entre las cosas que su pupilo tiene que hacer, es entrenar en un ring que tenga la misma superficie que el que se empleara el dia del combate, asi como vestir el short y la copa que usara en la pelea en sesiones de entrenamiento, entre otras boberias que marcan la diferencia. pero eso pedro luis no lo sabe [sabia].

el swimg de derecha que supuestamente derribo a odlanier, apenas rozo sin mucha fuerza el parietal izquierdo de solis. a diferencia de los golpes al cuerpo, especialmente la higado, en que el boxeador demora generalmente entre 2 y 5 segundos en caer al encerado, los golpes a la cabeza que producen caidas causan un efecto inmediato, como conoce perfectamente cualquiera que no sea un simple fanatico o redactor de afp.

no se ha reportado, pero es muy probable que solis tenga un esguince en el tobillo izquierdo, ocurrido cuando avanzaba combinando a la cabeza de klitschko,  por lo cual cuando tiene que salir del area de impacto no pueda hacerlo con esa pierna, por lo que tiene que depositar todo el peso del cuerpo en la pivot, lo que le impide girar.





perfectamente podemos tener opiniones diferentes, en tanto que la percepcion ha sustituido a la verdad, pero eso no es razon suficiente para expresar que este post es ridiculo.

by the way, alguien se puediera tomar el trabajo de revisar unas extranas declaraciones que hizo el turco ometh un par de dias antes de la pelea.

Vitali Klitschko quick to see off Odlanier Solis in first-round farce

Odlanier Solis – the last fighter to beat David Haye as an amateur – calls himself La Sombra, the shadow. On Saturday night in Cologne, the Cuban slid meekly into the night, booed for a one-round capitulation against Vitali Klitschko that cemented for ever his nom de guerre. Boxing is full of twists and turns – but few so farcical as the pirouette the Cuban effected to bring his challenge for Klitschko's WBC heavyweight title to a surreal finish in the first round in the Lanxess Arena. Solis's shadow boxing convinced few but the gullible – he claimed later to have shipped a shot to the temple and, in falling, twisted his knee – and he should remember for a long time the cat-calls that greeted his surrender. At least Klitschko, who struggles with injuries, is in one piece and still available for Haye, should the Londoner get him in the ring after his upcoming fight with his brother, Wladimir. As the elder Klitschko moved on his prey with a raking, crooked left, his timing still to hit a rhythm, his suspect legs and undoubted patience not even tested, a couple of grazing blows ruffled the Cuban's curly locks, one possibly with a sliver of force, and Solis went south without further encouragement. Seated near the ropes, he looked disoriented and grimaced like a pantomime villain, but otherwise expressed no obvious regret as he shook his head in sync with the hands of the referee, who waved the performance over at three minutes into the fight. Klitschko, clearly incensed, leaned over the referee to remonstrate with his reluctant dancing partner, whose subsequent departure from the ring, after a brief rest on his stool, did not give the appearance he was in serious pain. The crowd of 19,000 reserved what enthusiasm they had for a smattering of applause for Klitschko, whom they have taken to their hearts since he and his brother arrived here from Ukraine to establish their respective reigns as heavyweight champions. The win, Vitali's 42nd in 44 outings, arrives a few months before his 40th birthday. It was the oddest of them all, and probably one of the last. His body is giving up on him almost as fast as Solis's spirit did last night. The champion emerged like some invention of a Gothic video game, in black robe with gold braid, through a mocked-up giant door, backlit in purple, and striding to battle with all the imposing stiffness of a cartoon Gorgon. Solis affected nonchalance. But not for long. That Klitschko jab landed early, the precursor of the right that always follows. But neither was needed. Haye's trainer, Adam Booth, here for talks with Vitali's brother, Waldimir, said beforehand that the Cuban was "the most naturally gifted heavyweight out there – besides David". He might well be. We shall probably never know. Solis and Klitschko clearly are beasts from different parts of the forest. Klitschko, although half a foot taller and nearly 10 years older than the challenger, weighed in less than three pounds heavier than him, testimony to his discipline and Solis's lack of it – although he whipped himself into decent shape for this fight to get down to 246.9, the lightest of his career. It was Solis's 10th and possibly last contest in Germany. He was nearly a stone lighter than his last outing in December, when he laboured to beat the 40-year-old Ray Austin on disqualification in the 10th round of a quite farcical eliminator for this title shot. The 30-year-old Cuban has lunched on some poor fare since his professional debut in Hamburg in 2007, a year after he defected. Six fights ago, in October, 2008, he was fed Chauncy Welliver, a 27-year-old native American Indian, heritage he left at the door when he described himself as "The Fat Dorky White Guy". Paunchy Chauncy lasted nine of the 12 rounds, yet, astoundingly, was the reserve candidate for Wladimir Klitschko when the WBO and IBF champion was negotiating with Dereck Chisora – and Solis was being nudged up the ratings. If further evidence is needed of the parlous state of heavyweight boxing, I can't help you. It is nights such as this that do not just give the business a bad name but make dedicated fans wonder why they bother.

Scoop Malinowski: Vitali #Klitschko vs. Odlanier #Solis Analysis

by Scoop Malinowski
This could be the most dangerous fight for Vitali Klitschko since the Corrie Sanders fight – and it could be more complicated. Odlanier Solis is such a quality, talented and experienced fighter that he has been able to coast through the heavyweight division with his C game. Even though we haven’t seen Solis in 100% top condition in his recent TV fights, we have seen the flashes of brilliance and devastation he is capable of inflicting, like the one-punch KO of Monte Barrett. The Miami-based Cuban is strong as a bull, punches with speed, technique and accuracy. Solis clearly is a tremendous fighter, good enough to win Olympic gold and achieve the #1 WBC ranking, while not even working at full capacity.

I get the sense now that Solis will come in at the best condition of his career and will show an even higher level of excellence than we have ever seen from him as a professional. Solis has to know that this is what it will require to have a chance to defeat Vitali Klitschko.
Klitschko, astonishingly, is still at the top of his game at age 40, but there have been signs of minute decline. The inability to stop the game Shannon Briggs suggest a loss of full snap in the punches of Vitali. Emanuel Steward commented to me regarding the Briggs fight that he noticed that Vitali was not able to put his combinations together as he has in the past. Steward expressed concerns for Vitali about this fight and the different “mental energy” Solis will bring, unlike the recent challengers who competed more like sparring partners looking for a payday. But of course, that is a credit to Vitali and his skills, that he is able to tame and control his opponents in such a manner.
But this time, there is a suspicion that Solis is different from the rest. He is a winner, a champion, who knows how to figure his way out of adversity and overcome it. You have to think Solis will have more ideas and strategies to try to use to solve the seemingly unbeatable style of Vitali Klitschko.
It’s easy to imagine Vitali boxing and jabbing and dissecting and controling the smaller Solis like he has done so many times with other physically disadvantaged challengers. But if any man can change that pattern it’s the explosive and powerful Solis. One perfect punch in the blink of an eye, or a slight loss of reflex, can instantly put Vitali into a position he is unaccustomed to. And then it could be total chaos.
A similar fight that comes to mind was the second round of Lennox Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko in 2003, when the Vitali right hand staggered Lewis. Until that punch, Lewis had been comfortably dominating the heavyweight division, but that one single Vitali right hand changed everything.
Solis will have to connect that one punch against Vitali if he is to have his chance to make history and end the reign of Vitali Klitschko. Can he? Yes. Will he? I just don’t know.

Odlanier Solis vs Vitali Klitschko Highlights

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.
