Solis to fight in US!
Arena, GSP announce promotional pact
Ahmet Öner and Gary Shaw the owners of Arena Box-Promotion and Gary Shaw Productions have announced a new joint venture today where GSP will be Arena's exclusive U.S. promoter. In their first event together, Arena and GSP will showcase two 2004 Cuban Olympic gold medallists, both undefeated as professionals, on May 17, at a site to be announced shortly. Heavyweight Odlanier Solis (7-0, 5 KOs), will be making his U.S. debut. NABF super featherweight champion Yuriokis Gamboa (9-0, 8 KOs), world-rated No. 8 by the WBC, will be featured on the televised portion, which will air live on HBO's "Boxing After Dark."

This is great, by that time gamboa will be 10-0 because he fights on april 11th on shobox. Which is televised as well. This is so weird because today I was just thinking of how long it would take for hbo to grab gamboa. What a coincidence.

Solis is a decent prospect too. Needs to lose some weight though i think if hes gonna be a major force. Solis knocked Haye out in the Amateur world championships.

 

[SugarShane]

All I can say is I can't wait!

 

[TysonJones]

That statement right there tom gets me excited. no ****. Like wheres the wife excited

 

[jroc81]

Yeah im ready to see this as well. Anytime Gamboa is fighting im pumped for it.

 

[TysonJones]

I just hope it goes a few rounds lol.

 

[LeedsLad]

Yeah, i just wanna see Gamboa fight as much as i can:thumbsup:

 

[TysonJones]

I'm going to love collecting all his fights and showing my kid when he grows up.

 

[ItalianBull]

I missed Gamboa on FNF's afew weeks ago and have only seen him fight on youtube but I am REALLY looking forward seeing him get into the ring live.

 

[TysonJones]

Its a shame you missed the fight, thats the best gamboa has looked, the fight lasted like 2 minutes.

 

[Icantbox]

I can't wait for the fight when he gets a shot at a title. Gamboa has a great future ahead of him and I'm glad it's in my era.

 

[RingDocter]

[TysonJones]

I dont know how to spell shutup in spanish ( only joking of course ) but I know how to pronouce it. I work with a half mexican man at my work, and he's been teaching me spanish for awhile now. I can speak it pretty well, just can't type it.

 

[RingDocter]

Ohhh ok. Pronounced "Ca-ya-te"

 

[Rotten Apple]

Solis and Gamboa are 2 of boxings best prospects. I\'m looking forward to this card

 

[ItalianBull]

Its a shame you missed the fight, thats the best gamboa has looked, the fight lasted like 2 minutes.
