Cuban just-past-prospects Yuriorkis Gamboa (pictured left) and heavyweight Odlanier Solis (pictured right) are in action tonight on ESPN2, starting at 9pm, in the season premier of Friday Night Fights. This is also the season opener of our round-by-round coverage for 2009, and I hope you'll join us tonight to talk some boxing in real time.
