it was shocking to see all the posts last night about vitali(without a doubt) knocking him out with a glancing tap without any leverage.Comment

How did he embarrass himself?I'm glad to see that some people are in the minority with me.
I've watched that "KO" sequence many times in slo-mo, freeze-framing it on several occasions. There's no way to convince me that blow had enough on it to disorient Solis. It appears that Solis's leg(s) might've displayed injury as he backed up after the tap to his head.
Whatever really happened, Solis embarrassed himself. He was fighting well, then took a bizarre turn into irrelevance.Comment

Something like that.
Solis crouched very low, trying to avoid Vitali's right. (Which is another thing; he obviously saw the punch coming.) It's possible that the injury occurred at that very moment. Are they saying he suffered injuries to one, or both, legs?Comment

the report says right leg.Comment

His left leg was off balance, but you can see his right knee twist as he's going down. Probably because he put so much pressure on the right leg after the left one slipped.Yes, but that's his left leg that slips. Solis was clutching his right leg after he went down.
Sequence of events: Solis charges Klitschko, throwing several punches that don't land. Solis's left leg appears to slide before Klitschko lands a grazing punch to the top of his head. Solis's left leg again appears unsteady as he backs up from Vitali's counter. Solis goes down and clutches his right leg in apparent discomfort.Comment
