The Fight
Gamboa stopped Solis in the fourth round Saturday night to defend his Featherweight title. Gamboa delivered a sensational performance knocking down Solis five times, twice in the fourth before a sellout crowd of 2,913 at Boardwalk Hall's Adrian Phillips Ballroom. The Mexican was overwhelmed by a combination of quickness (hands and feet) and punching power that rivals another of Solis’ elite opponents, Manny Pacquiao, who had some trouble with Solis before stopping him in eight rounds in a junior lightweight bout in 2007. Solis, from Guadalajara hit the canvas early in the fourth from a straight right. He got up, but Gamboa pinned him in a corner and pummeled him with punches until referee David Fields stepped in to halt the bout at 1:31 of the round.[3][4]
