Yes, possibly.
Solid in "That was a solid fight" gives off a feeling of "That was a well-made fight". But it also can mean "That was a satisfying fight". Solid in "solid plan" means reliable or well-made.

I guess solid is generally used for something good, huh? Like "good"
I don't know what's the difference though.
