00:00 Wherever the rules in the locker room, all right?
00:02 Expect a good, clean fight out of both of you.
00:04 -We'll be all right. -Okay?
00:05 Hey, close attention to my commanders, all right?
00:08 Touch them up, wait for the bell.
00:09 [ Cheers and applause ]
00:11 -Hey, Ray. -Can you tell us
00:17 that Julio Solis is from Tampa?
00:20 Always brings a big crowd when he fights here at Pro Box.
00:22 You got that right.
00:25 -Well, tell LeVar if you're not from Nicaragua,
00:27 we're not gonna not mention Mayorga, right?
00:29 If he fights anything like his countrymen.
00:31 -You got that right. Here we go!
00:34 It's time to fight.
00:38 -I think that's twice already.
00:39 Talavera tries a right hand over the top of the jab of Solis.
00:43 -Gray, black, and white trunks for Julio Solis.
00:50 The red and white for Yesner Talavera.
00:53 [ Crowd shouting ]
00:56 -Come on, work out, work out. Let go, let go, let go.
00:58 -And Talavera's definitely looking for that right hand
01:00 over the top. Ooh, nice 2-3 combination from Solis.
01:04 [ Crowd shouting ]
01:07 -Yeah, so Talavera's a veteran, you know?
01:09 He's gonna try to make the young guy burn his energy.
01:12 You can see Solis has that youth energy,
01:14 that youth excitement when he's gonna try to create the action
01:17 and then throw those shots like that, good, snappy shots.
01:21 Try to overwhelm the veteran.
01:24 -There's that right hand again.
01:26 [ Crowd shouting ]
01:28 -You can see Solis respond with energy.
01:31 See if he's able to create openings
01:34 with some savvy, crafty moves, as well.
01:35 Let's see.
01:37 -Did you mention the craziest man in the sport?
01:41 -Ricardo Mayorga? -Yeah.
01:42 -Yes, I did, of course. I mean, my northwest --
01:44 -Oh, got it. -Nicaragua.
01:46 I mean, like I said, if he's anything like his countryman,
01:49 you know, he's a rough and tough customer.
01:51 -And in our main event of the evening,
01:53 Lester Martinez, who is 15 and 0,
01:56 will put his unbeaten record on the line
01:59 against the Brazilian.
02:01 The final fight of Mayorga's professional career, of course,
02:05 was against Martinez.
02:07 -It's punches up. -These guys are banging.
02:09 [ Crowd shouting ]
02:12 -Catch and shoot there by Talavera,
02:15 but Solis looking to overwhelm him.
02:18 Going to the body.
02:19 [ Crowd shouting ]
02:22 And very comfortable moving back.
02:26 -Talavera coming in, ripping some body shots.
02:27 Solis is willing to oblige.
02:30 Stand in front and go body for body.
02:35 -Keep it clean now.
02:36 -Oh, good right-hand exchange there.
02:39 The only thing about being a young guy like Solis,
02:41 you end up setting this kind of pace.
02:43 It's a power pace.
02:44 You're throwing a lot of power shots,
02:46 and you're going to make a guy like Talavera oblige.
02:49 You know, Talavera is a veteran, but he's not that old.
02:51 You know what I'm saying? He may end up obliging you.
02:53 You end up making this fight tougher on you
02:55 than you need it to be.
02:56 Sometimes it's best for the young prospect
02:58 to also work on that craft, you know, use that jab,
03:00 use those subtle feints like that.
03:02 You know, you'll start to control the pace a little bit
03:04 and learn how to control your opponent
03:06 and put him where you want to put him
03:08 instead of just trying to bomb him out.
03:09 -And also just separate the skill set.
03:11 Solis, obviously, is cleaner, like you said, more youthful.
03:14 If he takes a half step back and uses that jab and feinting,
03:17 it's going to separate the skill set.
03:20 -But he comes out, and you can see...
03:23 -Ah!
03:24 -...why he has the moniker of "Macho."
03:27 Comes out, firing, sits down on his punches,
03:31 and looks to give our fans a bang for the buck again.
03:34 [ Crowd cheering ]
03:36 -Whoa!
03:37 [ Whistle blows ]
03:39 [ Crowd cheering ]
03:41 -A lot of action in that first round.
03:42 There's off the break, a nice couple nice shots there
03:45 by Solis, right hand over the top and a left hook.
03:48 Good on Solis. -Get your punches up, Julio.
03:51 -Get over when he threw his right hand.
03:52 He got his head off center.
03:54 That's why they teach you, young prospects,
03:55 to get your head off center when you throw that right hand.
03:57 That's an example right there.
03:59 Had Solis thrown that right hand
04:00 without getting his head off center,
04:01 that right hand from Talavera would have landed.
04:03 But although Solis missed the right hand,
04:04 he had his head off center, so he couldn't pay for it.
04:06 -And when he dips that way,
04:08 it loads up that front hand, that left hook,
04:09 which Solis has a good one.
04:11 [ Whistle blows ]
04:13 -Let's go!
04:16 -Talavera, born and raised in Nicaragua,
04:20 now called Spain home tonight.
04:24 He calls Pro Box TV World Headquarters home.
04:27 Round number two, red and white trunks for Yesner Talavera.
04:33 And the macho one, Julio Solis, in the gray, black, and white.
04:44 -Yeah, before I got suited and booted earlier this evening,
04:48 I saw the Solis fans pouring in.
04:53 -Well, the ovation that he was given when he entered the ring,
04:57 Chris, made me think back to the movie "Hoosiers."
05:00 When Hickory goes to play and they say,
05:02 "Town closed for the night," game on.
05:05 Well, town closed for the night.
05:06 Julio's fighting. -Yeah, Tampa's here.
05:08 -Tampa's here.
05:10 -Got to be careful going straight back.
05:12 He's done that a couple of times,
05:13 and it's allowed Talavera not so much to land the cleanest shots,
05:16 but still to make contact,
05:17 which gives him a little bit of confidence.
05:22 -First fight in a little over a year for Julio Solis.
05:26 -You always want to make a veteran lose that confidence
05:28 and make him lose his ability to think he can win the fight.
05:31 He basically takes him out of the fight little by little.
05:33 When you make little mistakes like that,
05:35 even though you're winning the fight,
05:36 you end up giving Talavera a reason to hang around,
05:38 a reason to believe, and a reason to keep trying.
05:41 -And Talavera Pauli has fought a very high level of competition
05:45 in his professional career.
05:49 In fact, his last 11 opponents...
05:53 -Let go, let go, let go. -...have a combined record
05:54 of 218, 11, and 8.
05:58 I'd say he's fighting good guys.
06:01 -Tonight included. -Absolutely.
06:04 -Not happy.
06:07 -Solis, 8-0, won his first six fights by knockout or TKO.
06:13 He's gone the distance in the last two.
06:17 -Yeah, and all that shows that you're stepping up
06:18 your level of competition. -Yeah.
06:20 -That's what a prospect does, and this is your chance now.
06:22 Also, you know, we've seen the knockout power
06:24 when it's needed, but also... -Let go of the arms.
06:26 -...you got to show that craftiness.
06:27 And here in this fight, he's being forced
06:29 to use some of that skill.
06:31 -Yeah, I like what Solis is doing.
06:32 He's being very comprehensive in his attack.
06:34 Head, body, he's hitting him in between
06:37 when they're at the middle distance,
06:38 which is keeping Telivera really just down to one shot,
06:41 which is that big overhand right.
06:43 -He came out excited.
06:44 Now he's starting to think his way through the fight.
06:46 -Yeah, I think he was trying to blow the guy out early.
06:48 Saw that he was durable enough, so I got to break him down.
06:52 Ooh, good body shots.
06:53 -Three of his finishes in the first one,
06:54 in the second, two in the third.
06:56 So much to your point, Chris.
06:58 Solis likes to come out hot.
07:01 -He's certainly done that here.
07:03 Under 30 seconds on the clock here in round number two.
07:06 -Nice feint. Good switching it up.
07:08 Instead of the right hand over the top,
07:09 he came with the uppercut.
07:10 Just missed, but good attempt.
07:12 -Good combination thrown by Solis.
07:17 Ooh, that's a quick left hook.
07:20 And then body shots.
07:22 -Got to watch the heads in here.
07:23 These guys are getting very, very close.
07:25 Time!
07:27 -Solis doing some good, consistent body work.
07:30 It may pay off as the round progresses against Telivera.
07:33 We'll see.
07:34 -And, Paulie, he's got power in both hands.
07:37 -These rounds are flying by.
07:38 -Yeah. -Good action-packed fight.
07:41 [ Cheers and applause ]
07:43 [ Speaking Spanish ]
07:45 [ Applause ]
07:47 [ Speaking Spanish ]
07:49 -Here we see where a lot of the fight is being fought now,
07:59 with Solis pinning Telivera against the ropes.
08:01 I like the work that he's doing.
08:02 He's pulling out.
08:03 He's not getting hit with too much.
08:05 But like you said, champ, he's breaking the veteran down.
08:07 With these kind of guys who are durable enough,
08:09 you got to -- it's not just about hitting them with big shots.
08:12 It's about not allowing them to land, either,
08:13 so they don't think they can win.
08:15 -Let's go.
08:17 -Yeah, a lot of the stuff he's throwing
08:18 isn't landing cleanly,
08:19 but that's why it's important to go to the body,
08:21 and Solis has made sure not to neglect that.
08:25 -He's also completely shutting down Telivera's offense.
08:27 He's only got that big overhand right,
08:28 which hasn't landed since the first round.
08:30 -Scheduled for 8, round number 3.
08:33 Mike Goldberg, my powerful partners,
08:35 the former two-time world champion,
08:36 the Magic Man, Paulie Molinaggi,
08:38 former world champion Chris Algieri,
08:41 Wednesday night fights on ProBox TV.
08:46 -Again, the eye faint there. He looked down.
08:48 He tried to come up with that right hand
08:50 to the stomach, as well.
08:51 -Well-timed.
08:53 -He's changed levels beautifully thus far in this fight.
08:56 -Yeah, good punch variation from Solis.
09:01 Nice level changes up, down, using the eyes,
09:04 using the upper-body rhythm.
09:06 And you're seeing now from Telivera,
09:10 he's starting to put himself against the ropes.
09:13 He's not being forced there like he was in the first round.
09:15 -He has only been stopped twice in 32 bouts, 175 rounds.
09:23 Ironically, one of those was in his most recent fight.
09:28 -And there was Telivera went straight back,
09:29 and he ended up paying for it.
09:33 Good double jab used there by Solis
09:35 to drive Telivera straight back.
09:37 -Let go of the head. Stop. Stop. Break.
09:42 Don't pull down the head. Hold it down.
09:43 Hear me? Hear me?
09:45 -Stop!
09:53 -Naji Lopez in our co-main event coming up next.
09:58 Second fight since suffering a broken jaw last August.
10:04 Fifth time we have had Julio Solis here on Pro Box TV.
10:09 In Pauley, it's fun to call a young fighter's bouts
10:14 consistently because we do see the maturation process
10:18 right in front of our eyes.
10:19 -Yeah, and then, of course,
10:20 a step up in the level of opposition.
10:22 Oh, all that and the adjustments he's making.
10:24 I'll tell you, those counter right-hand style
10:25 that is tempting are getting slower and slower.
10:27 So I'm telling you, he's slowing down.
10:29 As Julio's youth energy, the body shots,
10:32 they're starting to take effect little by little.
10:34 -And also notice the body language of Telivera
10:35 is very different from round number one.
10:37 He's starting to be broken down little by little.
10:39 -Step back. Step back.
10:41 Box.
10:42 [ Indistinct shouting ]
10:47 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:48 Let go. Let go of him. Come on.
10:49 Stop.
10:51 Pull down the head now, okay?
10:54 -30 seconds on the clock.
10:56 Round three.
10:57 Body, body.
10:58 Just missed over the top.
11:02 -I think that actually had an effect.
11:04 I don't know if Solis saw it.
11:06 Would be smarter for him to go back down to the body here.
11:08 ♪♪
11:15 -Yeah, see, the speed of Telivera's is dropped markedly.
11:18 -Yeah, he's almost -- He's been second-guessing himself
11:20 as he throws the shots.
11:22 Nice shot to get in there.
11:23 -Ooh, good left hook to deliver there.
11:24 -Yep. -Sneaky shot.
11:26 -Yep.
11:27 [ Cheers and applause ]
11:30 -Don't forget, the big fights are talked about all the time
11:35 here on "ProBox TV,"
11:37 and we will hear a little bit of these guys' thoughts
11:39 about Tyson Fury and Francis Nogano.
11:43 Still to come, that hook just missed.
11:45 -That left hook, man, that's been the weapon
11:47 all night for Solis.
11:48 He loves that left hook. He is Puerto Rican.
11:50 So look at this, right hand over top,
11:51 and then, bang, big left hook.
11:53 As Telivera stands up tall at the wrong range.
11:55 -And also notice how he got Telivera to go straight back.
11:57 That level change jab to the stomach, to the head,
12:00 and continue with the combination right off the end.
12:02 [ Speaking Spanish ]
12:07 [ Whistle blows ]
12:16 -Let's go. Second down. Let's go.
12:18 -Whoo!
12:20 [ Indistinct conversations ]
12:22 -Paulie Nogano must have known something.
12:25 He had a little crystal ball with the Gypsy King
12:28 when he was turning down all that reported money
12:30 in the UFC and the PFL.
12:32 Now he's gonna get a lot of it.
12:34 -Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
12:36 Sometimes patience pays off. -Come on, let's go.
12:38 -Yes. -Not usually in this sport,
12:40 but... -I know.
12:41 -Paulie Nogano was in the ring...
12:42 -Or this career. -Paulie Nogano was in the ring
12:44 after Fury knocked out a billion whites.
12:46 -Yes. -This has been in the works
12:47 for a while. -No question.
12:50 And he is a physical specimen, to say the least.
12:54 Round number four, 30 seconds in.
12:56 Julio Solis, second straight eight-rounder,
12:59 gray-black, white trunks, red and white
13:01 for Yesenor Talavera.
13:03 -Also, when you're giving your heavyweight champion,
13:06 one of the biggest stars in your company,
13:08 $600,000 purse for main events,
13:10 you're a classified dirtbag, you know?
13:12 -Yeah. -And I got to say that
13:13 about Dana White.
13:14 I mean, it's a mockery to do that.
13:16 I mean, guys like Nogano make $20 million a clip
13:19 in heavyweight boxing. -Let's go. Let's go.
13:21 -Guys of that level in heavyweight boxing.
13:23 So Nogano at least had a chance to get paid
13:26 what he's been deserving,
13:27 but he only got it once this time.
13:28 But still, nonetheless, better than nothing.
13:31 -Hey, you know, I'd rather do it in one than do it in 12.
13:34 -And if he performs, maybe I'll get a rematch.
13:36 -You got that right.
13:37 [ Crowd cheering ]
13:41 -Right now, speaking of performing,
13:43 Solis was driving back Talavera bit by bit.
13:45 And Talavera, like you said, champ,
13:47 his body language has changed.
13:49 Speed on his shots has changed.
13:51 And he's, uh -- -He's pulling away in the shade.
13:53 -He's looking less and less enthusiastic
13:55 about being in the ring with Macho Solis.
13:57 -Well, Solis left him going back to the corner
13:59 with a left hook to the liver.
14:00 I used to love hitting guys in the body
14:02 right before the round ended.
14:03 Just getting something to think about as you sit down.
14:06 -I don't make you wonder if you should come out.
14:08 Talavera's maybe regretting that he came out.
14:10 -I used to love looking around my corner's shoulder.
14:12 See, is he getting up? I don't think he's getting up.
14:14 Ooh, good body shot there.
14:16 -And he sneaks in an uppercut, as well.
14:17 -I like the way he's getting them in there, too.
14:19 He kind of feints up top,
14:20 and then he dips that left hand real low,
14:22 and then he brings it up,
14:24 like almost like an uppercut to the body.
14:25 -Like a shuttle punch. -Yep.
14:29 -Mm-hmm. -Good combination.
14:30 And, Chris, did you notice when Pauly spoke of that octagon stuff
14:35 that I did exactly like my mother taught me?
14:37 If you don't have anything nice to say,
14:38 don't say anything at all?
14:39 -You and me both, brother. You and me both.
14:41 -Future respects, in a way. -Yes, indeed.
14:44 -But I don't like I see him. -No, really?
14:52 -I'm sorry.
14:55 -Talavera just trying to score any way possible,
14:58 but Solis ducks right under it.
15:00 -Yeah, Solis is staying sharp.
15:02 Even though he's in control, he's beating his man up,
15:04 he's still being defensively conscious.
15:07 Beautiful right hand. He heard that ringside.
15:10 -He cracked him.
15:12 You can see why he's been so durable over the 175 rounds,
15:17 though, because Julio Solis has put it on here tonight.
15:21 -Might not punch tonight. -A Wednesday night ball.
15:23 -And this is where that youth energy comes into play,
15:25 and you've broken down your opponent.
15:26 Now you can almost try to run him over.
15:27 Early on, he gets a crafty guy.
15:29 Sometimes it's dangerous, because a crafty guy
15:31 can walk you into stuff, but as the fight progresses
15:33 and you break him down, now that youth energy
15:35 can just run him over. Now you're starting to see that.
15:37 That's Talavera is just not able to keep up that pace.
15:41 -Which round he said he was asking?
15:44 -Cinco. -Cinco, cinco, cinco.
15:45 -Este es el seis. -SÃ.
15:47 -Ah, cinco. -Como, papá. Como, papá.
15:51 -Tomás.
15:53 -¿Cómo te sientes? -Bien.
15:55 -Está bien.
15:56 Oye, cuando lo lleve, si te le pega,
15:58 él te va a agarrar, no te va a dejar trabajar.
16:00 Ya cuando lo lleve y lo tenga ahÃ,
16:02 pero bien vivo con ese volado que está sacando
16:03 para que lo pase.
16:04 Está bien. Estás trabajando bonito.
16:06 -Macho, y cuando ataca el cuerpo,
16:07 ataca el cuerpo de los dos. -En el medio.
16:08 -De las dos manos. -Seguro.
16:09 -El cuerpo de las dos.
16:12 -Esa 45, de esa mano, esta 45, la está cogiendo completa.
16:16 Cada vez que se mete, la coge completa.
16:18 -And, yes, Julio Solis is the cut man
16:23 for his son, father of the cut man
16:26 for 22-year-old Julio "Macho" Solis,
16:31 who has looked spectacular.
16:32 Round number five, scheduled for eight.
16:35 -And if that doesn't tell you, the fighter knows
16:38 that his opponent is starting to wear out, nothing will.
16:41 I mean, Solis came out throwing out a double left hook
16:43 right off the jump to start this round.
16:45 -Don't realize. -Ooh, that one landed nicely.
16:48 -No. -And the right.
16:50 -He realizes... -Talavera.
16:53 -Talavera.
16:54 Eventually, that didn't even caught up with me.
16:56 Talavera is having a harder and harder time to keep up here.
17:00 -Talavera has some chin.
17:01 He got cracked with some big shots,
17:03 a left hook and a right hand, two right hands.
17:06 -Solis cut off the ring here.
17:07 It's going to make it a lot more difficult for Talavera.
17:09 There's a lot in the circle, but he can start cutting them off.
17:12 -One, two, three.
17:14 -Ooh. -Oh, big shots.
17:16 -Working all over his opponent.
17:21 -You got to get him off, you hear me?
17:23 -All right, let's go.
17:27 -One minute into round five.
17:30 -That's a veteran move, too.
17:31 You got a guy who's really pouring it on you.
17:33 Break up the rhythm by calling a blow.
17:35 Talk to the ref, get the action in before you're broken.
17:38 Momentum matters.
17:39 -Solis could have attacked him there, too.
17:41 -Absolutely.
17:44 If the ref doesn't break you and the guy starts talking
17:46 to the ref, you are allowed to crack the mess.
17:47 That's not on you.
17:50 -You must intelligently defend yourself.
17:54 -Sneaky little uppercut, and then the right
17:56 into the rib cage of Nicaragua's Talavera.
18:00 -Punches up.
18:03 -Yes, and they're trying to answer against the robes.
18:06 But Julio Solis looks spectacular tonight.
18:14 -Snapping that jab.
18:17 -The left hand is on a lot here for Solis.
18:19 You know, hooks to the head, hooks to the body, jabs.
18:23 Different rhythm of jabs.
18:24 There's a time he's used it to double as well.
18:28 -The right hand hasn't been too shabby either.
18:29 Let me see another attempt on the top.
18:31 -Right on cue for you there, Chris.
18:33 And he steps back, and he steps right into a left hook.
18:37 -Talavera's just a hard man.
18:39 You know, he's getting hit with really clean shots.
18:41 He's never really been buzzed, at least not showing it.
18:45 -And, I mean, when he was stopped in March, guys,
18:48 it was against 10-and-1 Joe Farina.
18:51 So, again, high-level opposition for Yesenor Talavera.
18:55 -Get that guy to get over there,
18:56 'cause I'll give him a spin when that guy comes over.
18:58 -Oh, good overhand right-lander for Talavera.
19:01 First one since round number one.
19:02 -Solis came right back with his own hook.
19:04 They kind of both landed that.
19:06 -20 seconds on the clock for round number 5.
19:09 -No punch. No punch.
19:11 -Fucked.
19:13 -Four-time national, four-time regional,
19:16 17-time state champion back in Puerto Rico,
19:20 22-year-old Julio Solis,
19:22 and you can hear that punch land again.
19:25 [ Cheers and applause ]
19:28 Great flurry to end the round.
19:32 -Some -- Some guys are just blessed with chins.
19:35 -Yeah. -Talavera's one of those guys.
19:38 -Yeah, actually, you see Solis creating that space
19:41 in the shoulder to start this whole combination.
19:43 You know, Talavera actually tried to fight back,
19:45 but, you know, the weight and then the forward momentum
19:48 of the shots going with Solis.
19:51 -Coming up next, our co-main event of the evening,
19:55 6-0, Naji Lopez,
19:58 against a man with 16 wins and 6 knockouts,
20:02 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's Chris Broeker.
20:05 Our co-main event coming up next.

20:38 -Big leaping left hook there from Solis.
20:41 Catches Talavera.
20:42 Luckily, Talavera was moving in the opposite direction,

20:58 -Brilliant at the basics.
21:01 -Yep, Solis going up and down the gears here
21:03 nicely in this fight.
21:04 You know, he's gone up all the way to fifth gear at times.
21:06 Now he's in that control mode where he's using the jab
21:09 to sort of reoxygenate while he controls the pace,
21:12 while he controls the distance.
21:13 And now he's reoxygenated, he's back on it.
21:15 -Man, I love how he gets that body,
21:19 throws from the canvas on that left hook,
21:22 that shovel hook a minute ago,
21:24 and then the quick jab connects.
21:26 -His commitment to the jab this round has been very nice.
21:28 I think that's really smart of him.
21:30 He's got a guy in front of him
21:31 who's got some big shots he's taking.
21:33 He's absorbing them, but now it's that jab
21:36 that masks the punch.
21:37 And it's the shot you don't see that hurts you the most.
21:40 -Nice little feint here. -Ooh, yellow.
21:43 -And that feint worked pretty darn well
21:46 because of what you just talked about, Chris.
21:48 He's put so many jabs on Talavera in this round.
21:53 And there it is again.
21:55 -Good, sharp jab. And they're hard, too.
21:57 It's not just a scoring jab.
21:59 -He's got the right hand not bad either.
22:00 -It's a good combination.
22:02 -So, Luis is showing the full arsenal tonight.
22:04 -You know, when you step up your prospect,
22:06 step him up in level of opposition,
22:08 you wonder if there's -- how much more he can go higher.
22:11 And right now, you step him with a solid veteran.
22:14 So, Luis is just absolutely dominated,
22:16 a guy like Talavera.
22:18 So, he's shown, despite only being in his ninth pro fight,
22:20 he's already an eight-rounder,
22:22 fighting guys at 30 pro fights, solid veterans,
22:24 and is dominant.
22:26 So, this is a kid who you can keep on
22:28 raising his level of opposition.
22:30 And just 22 years old, you know, it really shows you
22:32 how far, how high the possible ceiling is
22:34 for a prospect like this.
22:36 Not to mention, he's got a sellable fan base as well,
22:39 and they love to come see him.
22:41 -Alex De Oliveira was 20-2
22:45 March of last year,
22:47 when Solis won by unanimous decision in six rounds.
22:52 His last opponent, Garcia Cris, 17 career wins,
22:56 15 career wins for Talavera.
23:00 -Yeah, I mean, you can really see the pressure
23:03 that Solis is pouring on.
23:05 It's starting to have an effect on Talavera.
23:09 Ooh, man.
23:11 -I mean, the thud.
23:12 -And you see the way he changes up the shots, right?
23:15 He's been using that right hand over the top,
23:17 like, sort of in a loopy shot there.
23:19 He used it straight because he saw his man going straight back.
23:21 Again, it's the subtle adjustments as well
23:23 when they're needed,
23:24 and the vision on the spot to select the right shot.
23:27 -Very impressive.
23:29 -Talavera is earning his paycheck tonight.
23:37 [ Indistinct conversations ]
23:40 -Oye, mami.
23:45 Por favor, tira a la derecha.
23:47 No largo, directo.
23:49 Directo, por favor.
23:51 [ Indistinct conversations ]
23:53 [ Applause ]
23:54 -Here we're gonna see some more of that beautiful work.
23:56 There we have the level change.
23:57 Feints his position in, but Talavera doesn't fire.
24:01 -Yep. -He changes it.
24:02 He's right in range to hit him.
24:03 Doesn't really make any kind of attempt
24:05 to put on anything offense, and Solis unloads with both hands.
24:08 -You know what it is, Jimmy?
24:09 He's so power with the body shots
24:10 that as soon as Solis made that move towards the body,
24:12 Talavera tightened up, shields up,
24:14 and he just froze himself for what was a feint,
24:18 so now he's frozen for, you know,
24:21 paying for biting on a feint.
24:22 -But good on Solis for building
24:23 what he did earlier in those rounds.
24:24 He's able to now use his feints and his boxing skills
24:27 because he has his man gun shy.
24:29 -This eight-round lightweight fight
24:31 continues round number seven.
24:34 Co-main event scheduled for six
24:36 with Naji Lopez looking to remain unbeaten.
24:40 And once again, we mentioned it at the top of the show.
24:43 15-0, William Foster III was set to face 16-1
24:49 Venezuelan Fredemil Macayo in our main event.
24:53 Unfortunately, Macayo fell ill.
24:55 We hope to have that matchup for you here on Pro Box TV
24:59 down the road, and Chris Algieri
25:01 will visit with William Foster III.
25:03 -The punch variation, the ways that Solis is able
25:07 to still find a home for his shots
25:10 has been very impressive tonight.
25:11 -Yeah, if there's one thing I'd want Solis to work on
25:13 going forward is his ability to cut off the ring
25:15 against the guy, especially the guy moving off to the left.
25:17 Sometimes Talavera hasn't been able to start escaping
25:22 and circle the ring to his left.
25:24 You know, Solis eventually gets him when he stops
25:26 'cause Talavera can't circle the entire round,
25:28 but still cutting him off, beginning to circle
25:31 but still cutting him off, letting him know
25:33 he doesn't have that option,
25:34 even from a psychological perspective.
25:36 See again, he's able to move over to the left
25:37 and cut to turn the corner.
25:39 -Came in southpaw there, Paulie.
25:41 -That's one way to look at it.
25:43 -And big shots again thrown by Solis.
25:47 -And when you have guys like this,
25:49 once they stop firing back, you can force a stoppage
25:52 from the referee.
25:53 If you just start to unload, and they're not able
25:55 to defend themselves, and we're starting to see that here
25:57 from Talavera, he's not trying to hit back anymore.
25:59 -No points, no points.
26:00 -If Solis can create a little bit of space,
26:02 keep him in that midrange and unload his hands,
26:04 I would be surprised if the ref steps in.
26:06 -Yeah, and that's the thing.
26:07 If he's fighting, not fighting back,
26:08 or if he's fighting back less and less,
26:10 it becomes more and more of an assault than it does a fight.
26:13 So you got to start thinking about that.
26:14 And now Solis, for a stint, going southpaw,
26:17 he's back to the right-handed stance.
26:19 -Talavera's turning into a target now,
26:23 and that's not what this is about.
26:25 The referee's not going to want to see that.
26:27 -No points, no points. -Under a minute, round number 7.
26:30 -Work. Punch, box, guys. Just box.
26:33 -I think if Solis started with that jam
26:40 and was more consistent with it,
26:41 I think he actually would have Talavera
26:43 in an even worse position than he is.
26:45 Oh, beautiful body shot. -You can hear those shots.
26:47 -Man. -A big shout-out
26:49 to our production crew tonight,
26:52 and especially the guys in audio,
26:53 because we are hearing these shots
26:56 and they are massive shots.
26:58 We're hearing them very loudly,
27:01 and the thud is thunderous.
27:04 -Well, that's why, if you are in the Tampa area,
27:06 you guys should come to the White Sands Arena,
27:09 'cause we have great fights.
27:10 There's not a bad seat in the house here.
27:12 You get to see high-quality action like this.
27:14 -Oh.
27:16 -Pobock's event center here, man.
27:18 This is -- There's not a bad seat in the house.
27:23 -Actually, I was going to say, we're in a bad seat,
27:25 'cause we're getting blood and sweat on us.
27:27 This is the only bad seat in the house.
27:29 -Come on, guys.
27:30 You know what happened to you after.
27:32 For $1.99, I'm going to take it, you know?
27:34 -Yeah, you're -- -Save yourself the blood.
27:36 -Save yourself the dry-cleaning bill.
27:40 -Talento.
27:42 [ Speaking Spanish ]
27:44 -Free with advertisements, mind you.
27:46 $1.99 if you don't want to have it.
27:48 -It is Probox TV, a boxing channel.
27:51 We don't promote boxers.
27:53 We promote boxing.
27:56 Subscribe today. $1.99 a month.
27:59 If you do not want to watch the commercials,
28:03 I say it's the best $1.99 a month you can spend, Paulie.
28:08 -Yeah. Less than a cup of coffee.
28:11 You get everything, related boxing, talk shows, news.
28:15 -Dude, a lot less than a cup of coffee, man.
28:17 Coffee's $5.
28:18 -Coffee's going up inflation-wise.
28:20 We still give you a good rate.
28:23 -Talavera, tons of credit.
28:27 Should go towards Nicaragua's golden boy.
28:30 -Push him up for me, please.
28:31 -Still fighting here in the eighth and final round.
28:35 -Another thing to mention about Talavera,
28:37 his face isn't even marked up.
28:38 What is this guy made out of?
28:40 His chin, his body, his skin.
28:42 I mean, he's been hit with huge shots all night long.
28:44 -Some guys have that. -Yeah.
28:46 I don't.
28:48 -I don't. -I just have that.
28:50 I guess they call it a quality. I don't know.
28:52 -I brush my teeth, and I get a black eye.
28:54 I don't know. These guys.
28:55 -I remember watching Melgic Taylor and Chavez fight.
28:58 And Melgic was just assaulting Chavez.
29:00 So many fights. Nothing was on his face.
29:02 But one time, Melgic went through a windmill.
29:04 -Melgic is way ahead winning the fight,
29:05 and his face just looked like a blimp.
29:07 -Stop, stop, stop, stop.
29:09 Let go, let go. Come on. Let go.
29:12 -Oh, the prep editor told him a few times there.
29:16 -Pelivera doing outdoing the veteran,
29:18 trying to kill the clock as much as he can.
29:20 -Yeah, before this round started,
29:21 he looked at the tables and kind of gave us a nod,
29:23 like, "All right, I'm making it out of this fight, guys."
29:25 -Well, he came in with 175 professional rounds
29:29 and stopped just twice.
29:32 Adds 7 to that now,
29:34 and he's under 2 minutes away
29:36 from adding 8 more, 183 rounds,
29:41 and stopped just twice.
29:43 -This is why you give a guy like Solis
29:45 this kind of opposition.
29:46 You get him that experience. You get him the rounds,
29:49 and you see how he's maturing,
29:50 and you see the level at which he's maturing.
29:52 Oh, nice shots again.
29:53 Good shot selection here by Solis.
29:55 -Oh, beautiful nice shot.
29:56 -And Julio went to full weight last time.
29:59 He fought as well, Paulie,
30:01 and was dominant in doing so.
30:03 -You know what I like about this fight?
30:04 Even though I know they want the stoppage
30:06 and they're going very hard for it,
30:07 he stayed disciplined throughout.
30:08 He's still very technically sound.
30:11 His defense has been sharp all night long.
30:13 I like to see that in a young prospect
30:16 who's able to stay focused throughout
30:18 and keep the discipline.
30:19 -And also, it allows you as a prospect
30:21 to demand to be stepped up.
30:22 Nice right hand there by Solis again.
30:24 It allows you to demand to be stepped up.
30:27 You're dominating your level of opposition.
30:29 They step you up, you keep dominating.
30:30 Hey, man, you're basically saying,
30:32 "I can handle even an even better level of opposition."
30:36 -In less than 10 fights,
30:37 we're going to see that infamous
30:40 or natural prospect-versus-prospect fight
30:43 coming soon for Solis.
30:44 With rounds like this in the bank,
30:46 you got to think he's going to be ready.
30:48 -No, guys. No punch. Let go.
30:50 -As Colby said, he's got that win over the 22-gallon.
30:52 -Yep. It's already a-- -Yep.
30:54 -Nice one on the resume.
30:55 -That was March of last year, Paulie, right here.
30:58 Six-round unanimous decision victory.
31:01 Under 30 seconds.
31:03 Solis again mixing things up nicely.
31:06 -Still trying, too.
31:08 Still looking for that knockout.
31:09 -But Yesenor right now saying no to a Julio Solis finish.
31:15 But this is a dominant performance
31:17 for the now 22-year-old.
31:19 -Still trying to ruin our suits here.
31:21 Punching like that right over the top of us.
31:24 -Yeah, for the people not in the Florida area,
31:25 it has been extremely hot and humid down here.
31:29 So these guys are leaking.
31:33 -And the rain was coming down a second ago,
31:35 but it was the rain from the boxers.
31:38 So it was a sweaty rain.
31:40 -But a great performance for 22-year-old Julio Solis,
31:46 who will up his record to 9-0.
31:49 [crowd cheering]
31:55 -I mean, this is a two-fisted attack from round number one.
31:58 Solis showed a lot of class.
32:00 I mentioned the word "comprehensive" early on,
32:04 and really, that's a great way to describe
32:06 what Solis was able to do tonight.
32:08 Body shots, head shots, jabs, right hands,
32:10 overhand right, straight right hands.
32:12 The body work was incredible.
32:14 Speaking of incredible, Telavera's chin and durability.
32:17 He took a beating all night long and never went down,
32:20 never looked on the verge of being stopped.
32:23 -And I think that really the thing I'm most impressed with,
32:26 there's a lot to be impressed with tonight with Solis,
32:27 but it's I'm most impressed with not just the body shots,
32:29 but the way he's able to get weight on those body shots
32:32 and the way he's able to disguise them
32:33 as far as setting them up.
32:35 It's everything.
32:36 It's something that is one thing
32:38 that he can really hold on to with his style,
32:40 and it's gonna work at all levels,
32:41 the way he throws at a body like that.
32:42 And of course, you know, we saw a lot more than that tonight.
32:45 And again, a prospect with it is a lot to like, Jimmy.
32:48 -And he's gonna catch a lot of guys
32:50 that are not as tough and as durable
32:52 as a guy like Telavera.
32:53 He's gonna hurt them and probably put them down
32:55 or maybe get them out of there.
32:57 -Spectacular performance,
33:03 his first fight in just over a year.
33:06 To make this one official, once again,
33:08 we get it to Mark Lichtenfeld.
33:10 -Ladies and gentlemen, after eight hard-hitting rounds,
33:16 we go to the scorecards.
33:18 Judges Jed O'Connor, Tito Wilgo, and Brian Gary
33:22 all scored the bout 80-72,
33:25 ochenta a setente y dos,
33:28 for your winner by unanimous decision,
33:30 el ganador por decision unanime,
33:33 Julio "El Macho" Solis.
33:40 -Tampa Zone was the macho one inside
33:46 our Pro Box TV event center this evening.
33:49 Shuts out Yesner, Telavera,
33:54 and moves to 9-0
33:58 Oh, with his fifth straight win.
