Holiday Fight Night 3 – Solis brings the power to his fanatical following on December 17th

Super middleweights GIACOBBE SOLIS (5-0, 5 KOs) is one of the most popular competitors I have fought Sony Room in Manhattan, and he’s taking his unusually large following there once again as he hunts for his sixth consecutive professional knockout.

It will be part of “Holiday fight night 3”, which takes place on TUESDAY 17 DECEMBER. It is presented by INTERNAL BOXING PROMOTIONS and broadcast live on DAZN, the leader in live streaming boxing.

Solis started boxing at age nine, when he was in the Los Angeles area, and although he took a lot of hits early on in sparring, he “lasted” his way and eventually fell in love with the sport .

Solis was a fighting machine, also involved in mixed martial arts, and like many people interested in the fight game, about six years ago he came east to the place that matters most: the Big Apple.

As for competing at an amateur level, he only started doing it at the age of 27, but he was very close to the action, as he began teaching others in the gym.

Only recently has he taken part as a professional. He made his debut a year ago, scoring a third-round TKO over Tevin Terrance in an action-packed bout at Sony Hall. He has only fought there once, but he says it is very special to him, because of the intimacy of the atmosphere. And he loves New York audiences too.

Larry Goldbergthe president of Boxing Insider Promotions, believes Solis is the ideal man to compete at Sony because the locals love him. It also draws from a wide range of demographics, including the female constituency.

Solis has a solid team behind him; lawyer Marty Hopwood is his manager, while former professional fighter Jose Guzman is his trainer. Along with them in the corner is a heavyweight boxer Josh Popperperhaps best known for his relationship with pop superstar Madonna. They both work together with other fighters too.

Solis’ last two fights have taken place in Atlantic City: a second-round knockout of Brandon Martinez on May 11 and a fourth-round knockout of James Abraham on July 26.

Providing the opposition on Tuesday night’s show is DANIEL JEFFERSON (5-3), a St. Louis native who currently lives in nearby Florissant.

After losing three of his first four professional fights, he is on a four-match winning streak. Last time out, on Oct. 19, she won a four-round decision over Jamese Taylor III. In each of his professional fights, he has gone the four-round distance.

This won’t be his first time in New York City; in his pro debut he lost a four-round decision to Hossam Abdeldayem in Jamaica, Queens.

Jefferson is a stand-up boxer, but can be a little clumsy. There’s not much power to keep Solis off him, and he’s very rough with the jab.

In addition to boxing, he has also fought several times in amateur and professional MMA.
