Solis Stops Clay
By Manuel Perez: In a controversial ending, Jorge Solis (37-1-2, 27 KOs) stopped Monty Meza Clay (28-2, 19 KOs) in the 5th round in a IBF Featherweight Title Eliminator on Saturday night at the Auditorio Telmex de UG, Zapopan, in Jalisco, Mexico. Trailing four rounds to none and looking poor in the fight, Solis, 29, seemed to hurt Clay with a combination in the 5th round.
Meza Clay KOs Aiken
By John Dower: Featherweight contender Monty Meza Clay (27-1, 18 KOs) stopped former International Boxing Federation feather weight champion Eric Aiken (16-7-1, 12 KOs) in the 7th round on Friday night at the Expo Mart, in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. Clay, 26, looking a lot like former great Aaron Pryor, used a non-stop punching attack to methodically break down the former champion Aiken, ultimately stopping him in the 7th round as Aiken was taking tremendous punishment on the ropes. The referee Ernie Sharif stopped the bout at 0:39 of the 7th round. At the time of the stoppage, Aiken had been hit with over 20 consecutive head shots while trapped on the ropes without throwing anything back in return.
Clay, who at 5’1″, was giving up seven inches in height to the 5’8″ Aiken, but it mattered little, for Aiken failed to use his height to his advantage in any of the rounds.
