    ...via KO2 against Georgian Mamuka Jikurashvili.

    He sent him 3 times to the canvas with shots to the body - the 3rd time th Georgian couldn't beat the count...

    Next stop: May 17, USA...

    Has he lost any of the tyres around his gut yet?

    No. At 253 lbs he looks like a superior version of Sam Peter...

    Solis is not a very big guy. I have a friend who has trained with him and hung out with him a bit and knows he can drop 40 pounds easy, probably even make CW limit. I want to think he is a big talent, as I love the heavyweight division, but I feel his love for food my be bigger than he desire to succeed in the ring. It's hard for a lot of the Cuban fighters to remain focused after they aren't being "watched" all of the time, anymore. I honestly wish him the best, but would like to see him drop a serious amount of weight.

    Agreed. 215-225 max should be his weight anyless and there becomes a weight disadvantage.

    He is a fat ****.

    I know that boxing is a dangerous sport, and we should always respect the fighters, but I cannot stand watching these guys throw their careers away and endanger there well being by coming in fat.

    If you are not going to treat your training like a job and punch a clock every day, then you are not going anywhere. Solis is no different regardless of his background. Lots of guys had the talent and lost fights at the dinner table.

    Good result, disappointing weight.
