Solis was supposed to be part of the Latin Fury card on 10/10, against Fres Oquendo.

More reason to lay down the $20.

Oquendo has legal issues. Great replacement.

I thought Oquendo was a good replacement (for Johnson).

It's pretty hard to find suitable replacements in any case. The fact that Solis' guys found TWO is pretty remarkable.

I pick Solis, but he is coming into his biggest fight at a whale like 271 pounds.

Heavyweight Odlanier Solis (15-0, 11 KOs) blew out faded former contender Monte Barrett (34-8, 20 KOs) in the second round.

The 2004 Cuban Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist came in at a career-heavy 271 pounds -- nine more than his previous high in his last fight -- and had a massive size advantage against the 218½-pound Barrett, a 38-year-old New Yorker who took the fight Wednesday.

Former title challenger Fres Oquendo was supposed to face Solis, but he had legal issues and a court appearance to make, so Barrett was brought in.

Solis, 29, crushed him. He dropped Barrett hard with a left hook a minute into the second round. Although Barrett survived, he was shaky and Solis went after him, pounding him to the canvas with an assortment of blows and causing referee Wayne Kelly to call it off without a count at 1:54.

Solis has fought at around 250 so if he met one of the Klitschkos I'm sure he'd get in decent shape.

I always liked Barrett. It's a shame to see him reduced to a shell of what he once was.
I remember a time when stopping this guy was an accomplish.

Sadly, I don't think he ever fully recovered from the beating he took from Wlad Klitschko.

I didn't even know they fought. I just checked out some YouTube on the fight-9 years ago? Wlad looks young.
