    Is this Solis' first pro fight or what? I thought he never reached the pro level and was forgotten about... hmmmm... Very interesting ontogenesis...

    This fight is OFF once again - for good

    From Rafael's blog:

    The bout I was most looking forward to on Top Rank's "Latin Fury 12" on Oct. 10 was the heavyweight fight between undefeated Odlanier Solis and Kevin Johnson. I said "was" because the fight is off. Johnson and promoter Joe DeGuardia scrapped the bout (for the second time) even though they had committed to it. Top Rank's Bob Arum gave them his blessing to bail for a pretty good reason: Johnson is at the top of the list to challenge titleholder Vitali Klitschko on Dec. 12 in Germany. Klitschko and his team are that confident that he'll beat Cristobal Arreola on Sept. 26. Like a lot of people, I am looking forward to Klitschko-Arreola. It should be an entertaining scrap while it lasts. But let's be honest -- is anyone actually picking Arreola to win? Arreola knows nobody is picking him and he's very cool about it. He says he'll shock the world. I do admire his honesty and the fact that he doesn't get mad in the slightest about his big underdog status. He's an easy guy to root for and if he does pull the upset, it would be absolutely huge for American heavyweight boxing and a real bummer for Johnson.

    Damn dude, you were almost 24 hours behind on this one. :lol: I thought you had some new source of confirmation, I read Rafael's blog yesterday at around this time.

    If that ESB article is right and Vitali is trying to fight Johnson next... i think the klitschko's are out to kill american hopes. Johnson even though he is one of the highest ranked american HW is no match for a Klitschko. Last time i saw him fight on FNF when he beat up the young prospect who took the fight on short notice, it just looked kind of lackluster even though it was a tko win. Plus a 20(9)-0-1 record for some reason just doesnt excite me. But we are talking the HW division so it should be no suprise im not excited

    Solis would have beat him so what makes Johnson think that he has a chance against Vitali?
