I am starting to think Solis isnt that serious. He weighed in at 260, Ray Austin who is 6'6" 5 inches taller than Solis weighed 20 lbs less. I really dont see anything but another Sam Peter type beating if he faces a Klitchko.

I don't think he'll take a beating like Sam Peter did. Say what you will about Sam, but at least the guy has heart! I think Solis is getting by on his power and his ability to deliver punches in a proper and devistating manner, I do think he's a bit chinny though he hasn't been touched up as a pro yet. He should have no trouble with Ray Austin, though Ray could keep away from him for a while, if it gets to the 6th round Austin has a better chance of winning from then on out just due to conditioning alone.
I would love to see Solis fight a dangerous opponent not named Klitschko before he gets sent to slaughter, but oh well c'est la guerre.
Also let it be noted that former Lou Duva protege Michael Marrone weighed in at 260 1/2 ......wow, a couple years ago he was in the 220's, he never caught my eye as an impressive fighter, but damn...did he get stung by a bee or something?
Walker was doing okay countering in there, but you can't fight Mayorga without head movement.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Mayorga looked ok I guess. He doesn't look like he's in tremendous shape exactly but at the same time he didn't look that tired in the 9th.
I missed the first 5 rounds and the stream Ii was watching went in the 8th so I dont know how the fight finished. I take it Mayorga wan. Regarding him looking sub par, dont forget hes been out 2 years and didnt have much notice fo this fight either but if nothing else its given him a few decent rounds under the belt and against a fighter who should be naturally stronger too. Fair play Ricardo![]()
Has this card started yet? Has Solis fought?
Damn, I had no idea there was going to be boxing on a friday. I'm glad Mayorga got a stoppage, I have a soft spot for him. It's a shame that he is so inactive, must be about 36 now.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
