They are currently going through the national anthems and then the fight should be starting. I will not be able to give a full detailed description of every round because lets face it with these weightclasses you can't catch every telling punch that lands cleanly but I will do my best to give an accurate description of each round.

Round 1
Solis comes out trying to establish his jab and find his groove early but Manny is offsetting him with his left hand throwing quick and explosive combinations that aren't really landing but are backing Solis up. Pac tries to time his straight left hand but is feeling out Solis but is the more active of the two fighters. Solis lands a good right hand, Manny throws a straight left and then lands a short right hand. Manny finishes the round with a few good shots to Solis body. Manny was the more active fighter in this round and won that round off of that alone and landing a few more cleaner shots. All and all it was just a feel out round.
