    The Solis up until just before the Vitali fight wins. The fat, disinterested one that showed up for Vitali and beyond loses. In retrospect, I am wondering if his poor condition for Vitali was because he was hiding a knee injury, but, didn't want to lose the payday. That fight seemed pretty suspicious.

    Solis was in a higher class than Mesi and would be be in total control in a plod fest.

    I think you might have him confused with Kirk Johnson. He showed up in better condition and at a lower weight for Vitali than most of his other fights. He outboxed Vitali for 2:50 and then went down off a grazing temple shot and blew out everything in his knee when he hit the canvas.
