Klitschko vs. Solis Weigh-in Results, Photos: Solis At Career Low Weight!


Good news for fight fans looking to see an entertaining, meaningful heavyweight title fight this weekend instead of another Klitschko walk through the park.

The Klitschko vs. Solis weigh-in results are in, and Solis showed up in excellent condition. In fact, he came in at the lowest weight he's over fought at as a professional boxer in his career, dating back four years and 17 fights.

Klitschko vs. Solis Weights

  • Vitali Klitschko: 249 lbs
  • Odlanier Solis: 246.5 lbs
This is a huge development, and it's actually the lowest weight that Solis has ever been for a professional fight. The lowest he had ever been previously was 246.75, three years ago. Since then, he ballooned into the 250s and 260s, even reaching 271 lbs for his fight against Monte Barrett. Now, trimmed down, he still has the power and size to combat Klitschko, he has his spectacular amateur pedigree to utilize, but he shouldn't be hindered by his own body mass. If you were interested in Klitschko vs. Solis before, the weigh-in results should definitely change your mind!

  1. I like the pictures! They are fantastic.
    It's a great show, really great. Vitali Klichko is simply the best stopping Solis in the first round. But the show is too short. I like the fight of Klichko and Chris Arreola. It's much more interesting. You can watch it on http://www.torrentoff.com.
