Jorge Solis vs Manny Pacquiao set on April 14

To those who are die hard Manny Pacquiao fans, I bet they already know about Jorge Solis.

For those who don't, well, he isn't the politician he will battle this coming May elections in his hometown General Santos City. It is, however, confirmed Pacman will be running for a seat in Congress as far as the news reports are concern.

Jorge Solis is a nondescript Mexican fighter next in the line for Manny Pacquiao. Rooting from the town of Guadalajara, he is a tough nut to crack having an highly impressive record of 32 wins (23 made his opponents kiss the canvass), 0 loss and 2 draws. He is currently ranked 2 in WBC Superfeather Weight division and could spur a monumental loss and major upset to Pacman.

Dubbed as the Blaze of Glory, the opening bells will sound on April 14 at the home of the San Antonio Spurs, the Alamodome in Texas.

I was hoping for a Pacquiao-Valero tango because the war of words between a 'tricycle driver beater' and the supposed 'cab driver' has made an itch for boxing fans. But I guess the decision to enter the dirty political spectrum has mired the people's champ's focus on the boxing sport.

The result will definitely impact on his venture to politics and possibly the turn out of elections in May for his congressional stint.
