    Solis ' outstandingly amazing performance against a teak tough opponent on yesterday's undercard of Sam vs McCall deserves admiration and respect.
    In his second outing to a pro box ring he stopped an opponent who had never been stopped before and whose chin can be called quite decent.
    Solis' Ukranian foe Mazikin had won every round in his previous fight against Sedrick Fields winning a lopsided point decision against that excellent journeyman from the USA who had defeated Shannon Briggs,and had lost a split decision to yesterday's main fighter McCall-when McCall was in his prime by the way.
    Mazikin also had a bloody close fight with very promising and talented fellow Ukranian Taras Bidenko who had made the water very hot for both Valuev and Virchis,two present top heavies.
    Mazikin is a good boxer with a vast experience and a long and quite successful amateur career.I for my part thought that Solis would have had too much on his plate with Mazikin.Lets not forget that it was the Cuban#s second pro fight.
    Damn! He proved me wrong in a very impressive fashion.Props to Solis!
    It was totally crazy matchmaking to match him with such a decent foe in his second pro fight,but he passed the test in a very impressive way.
    Solis and Povetkin-two future pro superstars??!!

    Im not sure this guy even needs the usually 25-30 fights before a title shot. His amatuer career is among the best ever and he actually has top Heavyweights on his win resume already from the amatuers. The dudes walking threw decent fighters in 43 secounds. Who knows maybe we finally got the next big thing and lets just hope he has a chin unlike some next big things we know.

    This guy is awsome. If he contninues with such performances with such tough opposition, he might even overshado Povetkin's achievements. Povetkin and Solis appear on the route to tak control over the HW division in couple of years.

    Next - Maybe someone like Kendrick Relaford? Someone who he should be able to beat easily, but who can get him a few pro rounds under his belt. Relaford has a heck of a chin and knows a few tricks, but should still lose most rounds. For someone with a similar profile, if you want a tougher challenge than Relaford, someone like Tank Williams would make a lot of sense - probably shouldn't win, but has a good chin and knows a lot of veteran tricks that Solis is going to encounter on his way up. Fighting someone like Williams still puts him on track to get a title shot in 15 fights or less, if that's how quickly his management wants to push him (and it looks like that's how quickly they are pushing him).

    What if he managed to get Releford in a round?:lol:

    Hell, Mazikin's chin is comparable to Releford's and Mazikin is a much better fighter. A KO 1 over Releford will mean more to the American fanbase.

    I've heard he's overweight, but other than that, I haven't heard anything bad about him. It should be interesting to see how he and Povetkin's careers progress. Both are stepping it up real fast.

    You'd think he'd care enough to get himself in some kind of shape. I'm not sold on these Cubans. Everyone thought JL Gonzalez was the second coming too, and look how he turned out.
