Tavon wasn't on USA Boxing's list. Was he a late addition?

I saw that too, Gary. All applications had to be in by July 21st. (not postmarked, but received).

It would seem they didn't receive his paperwork in time.

Actually, Sol and Kisner would have been in different weight categories, so they never would have faced each other.

Kisner is at 201 while SoL would have been in the 201+ division.
