    Is that Solomon kid good?

    I have seen he has fought seven times in 2010 against some quality opposition for a prospect. Boxing needs fighters like that. Hopefully he puts on a show.

    Much like Hopkins, Solomon is SOLID but UNspectacular...YOUNGER, FRESHER, More ATHLETIC & More TALENTED than Hopkins Though...AMBITIOUS Matchmaking for Sure & it's EASY to Root for a Fighter like that...

    Solomon UD is the SAFE Pick, but a KO Would Move him Up SEVERAL Notches on the "Must-See Prospects" List...

    What you gonna do. A Hopkins is a Hopkins, you can count on a stink.

    Looks like a Hopkins vs. a Roy Jones Wannabe.

    I think that was a line Hopkins used this week.

    You're really watching the fight?

    You get points for dedication...I guess.

    I figured, heck the tickets are only $30 and there are some HW fights on the card. Man, if not for cool knock out in the walk-out bout, this was about a dismal a card I've ever seen:

    Wow,I feel for you man. That was one of the worse FNF of all time. Just hearing the name Demetrius Hopkins is enough to induce a coma.

    Just watched the fight there (or as much of it as I could stand). Awful fight, but I thought Solomon looked good (in the sense Andre Ward looks 'good' aka, very effective). He's a legit player in the division, IMO. I might well take him over Berto anyway, who sucks.
