    You cant seriously compare Gonzalez with Solis,can you,emanuel.Of course both stem from Cuba,but unlike Gonzalez who played in third division before the turned pro in the USA Solis is an outstanding Cuban amateur top gun.
    Solis plays in a totally different league.Gonzalez couldnt hold a candle to him in terms of talent,firepower,and merits at the amateurs.
    I am not sold on Solis' coach and his new pro management at all.
    It was totally crazy to match him with a such a decent heavy like Mazikin in his second pro fight.
    Solis and Povetkin make the heavy weight divsion once more a fairly interesting one.

    Him and Povetkin aren't having any of it. Must come from their roots. They must have literal hunger unlike many of todays guys who claim to come from the projects and all that bull****. They get a payday and their hearts never in it. Povetkin and Solis are just going nuts. I really want to see them succeed. They got the amateur pedigree and the balls for the pro.

    I want to see them spark EVERYONE and in a showdown unify all four belts! They'd probably only have 20 fights between them at that point!!!

    He didn't look overweight as an amateur making normal Heavy and not Super Heavy.

    wow, beating someone like Mazikin in his second pro fight in impressive fashion.


    Its ****ing beautiful man... it brings a tear to my eye. We have two up and coming prospects that just may be the real deal.


    *sigh*

    It's a good sign that he didn't lay off too long between his first and second fights. My skepticism has been of the weight gain and relative time it took him to get to this first pro fight. He could be great, but he could also just waste his talents like Gomez.

    he looks in a bit better shape then his first fight. I hope he gradually gets back into the shape he used to be in, maybe not exactly but close at least.

    Thank you for the video.

    Is it me or the KO looked strange as the punch landed on Mazikin's shoulder before touching the side of his head.

    But maybe Mazikin was already stunned, and he couldn't keep on fighting.

    Wait for my boy to get in shape

    this is a guy who has a winning recod against the great Felix Savon.
    and let savon fight for his third olympic gold rather than go himself (sydney)

    he is tough as nails....let him fight haye or ibragimov.....the highly rated pros who he beat to the world championships

    GO SOLIS

    Props to Solis, but I'd call foul on that.

    First off, obviously McCall wasn't in his prime. In addition, from the fight reports, the crowd was very surprised at the Split Decision annoucement as it seemed to everyone (apart from one judge) that McCall had won handily. And finally, McCall broke his right hand in about the 2nd or 3rd round and had to mainly box with just his left. I doubt even Sedrick himself would try to claim this as a genuinely close fight.

    Not that it matters really for Solis...
