Ya I don't know much of anything about this Solis guy but I saw photos of him arriving at the airport and just by the looks of it, Vitali may have a decent challenger in front of him. The odds say otherwise but this guy may be game...

He knocked out David Haye and Sultan Ibragimov. His amateur credentials are pretty insane. I know amateurs are not the pro's, but it does speak about his skills.

Damn Kirkland is putting in work. He's not wasting anytime building his career back up.
Kirkland is going to rape the 154 pound division. In that 34 second knockout, even though it was quick you can see improvements. He's less wild, punches are much straighter, more accurate. Kenny Adams is doing a wonderful job. I love Anne Wolf and what she does, but Adams really is going to provide the technical fine tuning Kirkland needs.

Kirkland just has that I want to kill you Mike Tyson type of style that you just love to watch, because you know he's trying to hurt the other fighter with every punch.
