I was always excited about this guy, since I found out his amateur merits. I think he's gonna go far, if he stays on the right track. He started his pro career somewhat late, but there have been plenty of late bloomers in heavyweight. Tony Thompson for instance. And Bonecrusher Smith of course!

Solis and Johnson are duplicates of one another. Two really fast guys that can outbox any of their opponents but kind've hold back. Johnson gets hits less while Solis goes for the kill early and if he doesn't get it, he settles into a rhythm fight while Johnson doesn't go for the kill ever it seems. The winner of this fight will be a relavent up and comer and the other, truthfully will fall dramatically. Since there is little market for fighters of these types so the winner will take what little interest is there.Comment
