I saw the first weakness in the armor of Vitali

Yes, I agree, I see that weakness to, Klitschko is getting afraid he might kill someone in the ring if he hits them too hard. Your deluded. Klitschko attacked all the time, Solis made a few little counters which mostly didn't lnad. Klitschko was winning the round. Again....delusional. As well as being anti Klitschko, whereas I am just an acute observer with NO favourites since Gaspar Ortega, except perhaps Emmanuel Augustus. I often get so sick of alll the ignorant and obscene DREK posted here that I go off line for days and weeks sometimes and wonder why I still retain my interest in boxing. Disclaimer: I am in no way a hater of this Klitschko or his brother, they are by far the best heavyweights out there. I am no way saying that Solis would have won that fight or even a rematch. Now on to edgarg's dumb post wow you threaten to go away when you disagree with someone, I simply said it looked to me, I acknowledge that it was one very short round, that Klitschko appeared to fight a guy who looked to be effective in what he was doing. Klitschko looked to be not in full control, I think that says something since Vitali has basically not even come close to losing a round in how long? Relax and disagree if you like but no need for insults.

That was the first round i have seen Vitaly lose in a long time. The fight ended too early to make a judgement on where Vitaly is right now though

haye took so long to beat harrison. he wouldnt last with vitali who puts big guys away in less than 2 rounds. add to the fact that vitali really hates the guy. it will be a terrible beating i actualyl think vitali would toy with haye for a few rounds just to punish him rather than knock him out fast he evne said thats what wlad would do. beat him for 11 rounds then knock him out in the 12th

wow, first Klitshcko fight you seen häää?

I'm sorry I replied to you like that, there are others who deserved it MUCH more. Your post, by comparison, was reasonable. Again, Apologies.

he does move a bit slower,and awkwardly. i noticed he didnt lean back much early,normally he leans back as his defense,but he was pretty straight up and even had his head down lower than normal,right in range to be hit. His punches arent fast,there not sharp,there very sloppy and wild,he punches down very awkwardly. I just "love" your "expert" criticism. Do you know anything at all about boxing??....I wonder??

I finally got to view the entire 1st round of the Klitschko vs Solis fight and I have to say that Solis was the first opponent I have seen in years to fight on even terms with Vitali and even landed the cleaner punches. Its a real shame about the knee, which to me was the obvious reason he went down. I understand the Knockdown call by the ref since there was a punch but what I saw was a guy who hurt his knee which cost him the fight. They should do a rematch.

There will never be a rematch. Vitali hasn't got time to waste on guys like Solis now. I doubt you will see Solis again -- he's got his money and will eat his way into oblivion. He doesn't even like boxing. Solis might not like boxing, but millions of Cubans certainly do. If Solis quits after this fight he might as well forget about ever going back home again. They'll never let him forget. Which means he'll be back.

About a minute into the fight, I turned to my brother and said "if Vitali carries his left hand like THAT against Haye, he's getting knocked the f*ck out" Since Vitali came back, his opponents have been worse than Haye's. Briggs was knocked out by Lewis over 10 years ago, Sosnowski... what a joke. Audley woulda beat both of them lol.

Someone lands a half-assed punch on Vitali and all the haters start frothing at the mouth saying he's finished. It's beyond desperate. Get back to me when someone wins a round against him, boys, because Solis wasn't and didn't. Still though, that round by Hide, eh? Highlight of Herbie's career I reckon. He was looking in ominous form.

Haye would look like a million dollars against Vitali for about 2 rounds until the big man nearly kills him.

He landed 3 or 4 good punches that weren't even like slaps to Vitali. So what. He didn't even win 1 round of the fight.

He done okay for the best part of a round and then got taken out. Even Herbie Hide done better in a round against Vitali about 10-years-ago.

THE TRUTH ABOUT VITALI VS. SOLIS Solis was the greatest fighter of all time (outside of the Klitschko bros, obv) Vitali cunningly lured Solis into a trap by letting himself get punched Vitali's punches are notorious for causing ligament damage Solis would totally dominate every other heavyweight ever to fight, can't stress this enough Vitali is the greatest fighter ever, there is no blueprint to beat him, he would dominate in every era. Highest KO percentage ever. "I know he is a gentleman and everybody wants to see a second fight" - Vitali Klitschko “You talk about me, I am chicken to fight you. That's not true.

I understand the Knockdown call by the ref since there was a punch but what I saw was a guy who hurt his knee which cost him the fight. They should do a rematch. his knee was certainly blown out but he was on queer street with both legs when he got up. a top tier boxer should easily be able to stand on one leg (not to fight, just to stand.) solis could not. i think vitali stands a bit too upright, which makes him vulnerable when guys are able to get very close. mainly with the hook and overhand right. that comes with being over six and a half feet tall. he's never going to james toney and roll his way under a hook, or away from a right hand if the guy is close. he's not that type of an athlete.

this is why david haye kept putting off the fight he wants the klitschkos as old as possible before he steps in the ring smart dude

vitalis getting long in the tooth..he looked slow and stiff....he even got a black eye in sparring

Really all I got out of it is what we already should have known going in, that someone with foot and handspeed may be able to take advantage of an aging Vitali who is losing his foot and hand speed. Solis sure as hell wasn't that person, he wasn't going to have a chance even if he hadn't gotten hurt.
