Heavyweight Odlanier Solis was a DQ winner over Ray Austin in a WBC title eliminator in Miami, FL. Solis was dominating the fight and put Austin down in the 5th. The fight ended in the 10th round when Austin clinched with Solis at the end of the round and nearly toppled over the ropes and out of the ring. The bell sounded and both men regained their balance, when Austin inexplicably threw and landed a punch, prompting the immediate DQ from the referee.
