This man, on the left side of these words, is Jorge Solis (32-0-2, 23 KOs). The product of Guadalajar, Mexico, won the Manny Pacquiao sweep stakes and if things go off without a hitch, he will face the Pacman on April 21 is San Antonio, Texas.
Boxing Confidential’s crack research time has learned that while Solis’ professional boxing record may lack high profile opposition, he has served as sparring partner for former world champions Oscar Larios (former Pacman opponent) and Javier Jauregui.
To make matters a tad bit more interesting, Solis is trained by under-rated Mexican Jesus Rivero, who also served as trainer for Oscar De La Hoya at one point in time.
Special thanks to Lee Samuels (one half of Top Rank’s Public Relations Dynamic Duo, along with Ricardo Jimenez) for the picture of Solis.
