    Very impressive stepip for a 9th pro fight. Botha was very briefly a Heavyweight Champion at once,been in there with Schultz,Tyson,Moorer,Briggs,Lewis,Klitschko.

    Solis should take care of Botha and in expeditious fashion. I can't imagine Botha having much left.

    Danny Williams is fighting too so that makes it a pretty solid card. I don't know much about his opponent but I'm pulling for Danny and I'm guessing that his experience will carry the day.

    Airich will face Danny Williams in his 9th pro fight,eh! Absolutely amazing,isnt it! Cant really believe it!
    Arena Box Promotion truly matches his boys very toughly very early in their careers.
    Gamboa,Solis,Airch-none of them has been matches softly up to now.
    As for Airich I cant really see him beat Danny in his 9th pro fight.He drawed with Mazikin in his last fight.How the hell will he beat Danny then?
    Okay,Mazikin was a very experienced amateur and olympian who beat the millitary world champ Chechenev at the pros.Mazikin also had a very close fight with Taras Bidenko.Nevertheless,the Ukranian doesnt play in Danny's league. Huge step for the untested German-Russian!

    Solis-Botha is now officailly moved to the June 27th Miami card (ESPN2). They'll probably televise it, that's the reason of the reschedule (same card as Gamboa-Rojas). Airich-Williams is still on for May 30th, Bilbao.

    GOOD DEAL!

    I am looking forward to seeing Solis on ESPN. I thnk he's gonna be one to watch. Exciting fighter with alot of promise. :good

    I hope his handlers can convince him to get in a lean and powerful fighting condition, though. Solis, lean and in fighting shape, would probablly be the most promising heavyweight up and comer out there. Seems like he may lack discipline, which is ultra important. Maybe he'll overcome that and get his head on straight and show what he's got.

    Botha wasn't that good in his "prime." About as limited as a "world class" fighter gets. At his best, a lower level "B class" HW. Now, he's probably a C- -- or lower.
