Official Vitali Klitschko-Odlanier Solis and undercards RbR discussion thread

[ChopperRead]

You need to watch another replay there partner.

He got hit hard, then looked for the exits.

Too bad he got mixed up on what leg was supposed to be hurt.

Come on, VK, fight Chisora next month!

From this angle it looks like Solis was leaning forward and Vitali caught him with a short hook. Couldn't tell if it was temple shot but his momentum was coming forward. Lucky punch.

It looked like Vitali did catch him flush though.

What a robbery!

Solis was winning the round before he got knocked out. Ref should rule this a no contest or DQ for Vitali.

/sarcasm

So let me see if I understand. Vitali should be disqualified for knocking out his opponent with a clean shot?

Solis is sh it, but i've been saying that all week. Im not happy that Vitali won in one round because i was looking forward to Vitali beating Solis up for about 8 rounds.

The problem is, Solis wasn't looking forward to it.

He was being sarcastic.

And now it was a lucky punch.

Some of you are complete morons. That was no fix.... Solis was actually holding his own & looked pretty calm & collected in the ring.. He wasn't winning the round as Klitschko was doing most of the punching... so please stop with that.. at best you could say it was a feeling out rd & close to even. Solis looked like he was holding his own & actually could reach Vitali's head when he countered.

It was shaping up to be a great fight..the rd was about to end & all of a sudden Solis was down on a delayed reaction. Replays clearly showed that the punch did NOT look hard enough to do what it did...it was Solis being aggressive lunging at Vitali & he caught him on the way in as his head was exposed coming in on Vitali.

He got caught with a shot right on the temple..had a delayed reaction to it & his body slowly crumbled just Like a dominoe effect..& as he was stumbling down his knee & ankle got twisted (ala Michael Grant vs Mccline).

You have to be pretty crazy to throw a fight that you're competing in & at the same time injuring yourself while faking it on the way down. Replays clearly showed what happened with his legs when he was about to taste the canvas. He tried to get up..but couldn't stand upright.. No conspiracy here..this guy clearly came to compete as evidenced by the first rd... I would have a rematch with him if I were Vitali.

YoU try to rush Vitali & those things can happen as you're putting yourself at risk by creating an opening. Now you see why Kevin Johnson didn't want to just lunge in against him. Vitali was clearly pumped for him..knew what a threat & great boxer Solis was.


He was angry because he probably felt he didn't hit Solis hard enough for him not to want to continue...he just didn't see what happened with Solis' legs on the way down. & Yes PEOPLE it was Vitali's punch that caused this..he wouldn't of injured himself otherwise & he certainly didn't slip.. As the replays from all angles come out you will see this but in the mean time..don't **** with Vitali Klitschko or say ANYONE can beat him legitimately unless you got proof of it>>> kapish!

The shot had nothing on it. Vitali was backing up and threw an arm punch reminiscent of Ali's "phantom punch." The blow landed on the top of Solis's head, well above the temple. Solis's left leg visibly wobbled as he backed up, but "SpongeBob" held his right leg after he hit the canvass.

Maybe Solis really hurt himself. But I wouldn't doubt if he actually threw the fight. No matter what really happened, it's an embarrassment....

replay 4:30.

Exact same type of punch lands, same spot, Solis/Chambers heads can both be seen jerking to the side from the impact and Chambers was out cold from it.

[ChopperRead]

One good thing came out of this.

We can all forget about Solis from now on.

He'll never be heard from again if he gets his money.

He'll be joining Sultan Ibragimov.

As convincing as the knee injury is, given the state of boxing today, and Vitali's reaction to the fall, lets not rule out the possibility of a dive

Solis didn't have the slightest trace of disappointment on his face, in fact he looked the opposite before and after the fight. Is it not possible that he had this planned out, thought he'd try his luck throwing a few good shots, then fall after taking a small punch (which wasn't even on the temple), quiver his leg a little, and then limp..all the way to the bank?
