Manny Pacquiao Knocks Solis Silly in Texas

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Sammy Rozenberg - The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas was the scene of two unforeseen upsets on the undercard, but Manny Pacquiao (44-3-2, 32 KOs) came up big as expected by knocking out undefeated Jorge Solis (32-1-2, 1 ND, 23 KOs) of Mexico in eight rounds.

Solis had a very awkward style and gave Pacquiao trouble for the first few rounds by dodging a lot of his punches. The fight was fought on even terms until a clash of heads opened up a cut on the left eyebrow of Pacquiao. Once Pacquiao was cut, he became very aggressive and landed several power punches that had Solis in trouble. To his credit, Solis made it out of the round to get punished some more.

In the eight round, a combination of punches that were punctuated by a right uppercut sent Solis down. He barely beat the count and was quickly sent down for the second time in the round after Pacquiao fired off another combination of power shots. This time Solis was unable to make it to his feet as the referee reached the count of ten. [details]

Soilis was a n00b. Pac Pwned him like expected.

That was a pretty weak fight, they both had a really hard time finding their range and it took them nearly half the fight.

it was a good fite, i wasnt disappointed.

Solis was too scared to get hit. He looked scared when he walked inside thering.

He looked confident when he walked in with the crowd behind him. Though I agree he looked scared to take shots from Manny. I told my friend that while I was doing my own little round by round through instant messaging. It seemed like he was very hesitant to charge up his shots cause he was scared of being bombed by Manny's quick hands. The problem with Manny is his leaping ****. One day he's gonna get caught by a punch while leaping in and it's lights out for him. That's called using someone's momentum against them. Luckily this guy couldn't take advantage of that. The other thing is Manny has on and off performances. I guess you can say it's ok and he got the job done but it's like, he goes from looking unbeatable(Barrera, Morales 3rd fight), to looking like a typical fighter with special effects. He kept going for the left this fight and constantly charging in. Didn't use enough techniques or sneaky things like I thought he would or planned to. But I guess it's ok cause it wasn't that high class of a guy he was facing anyways.

i remember he said some **** like "im getting beat up he keeps hitting me in the face"
i laughed when i heard that ive never heard a fighter say that

Well, Pac didn't need to be 100% for this fight. That will drain his boxing life if he trains like he trains for legends like Morales or Barrera. A quick workout was what he did and what was needed and it was enough. Besides the guy was a complete mystery.......how many here saw a Solis fight before? Who would have known that he would gave Pac a hard time with all his head movements and range? Pac's athleticism is what makes him win in these kind of situations...but will not look good in the process.

Looks like Pac wasn't to distracted from all the political stuff he is doing. Found some time in between his campaigning to whoop some ass. Started slow, but I guess that can be expected and then turned it on. I wish him luck in his political endeavors, but won't be dissapointed if he loses. There are greats fights for him in the future.

I love how someone was able to get the microphone's frequency and start yapping "Uno Dos Tres!" over and over again!
