Comments Thread For: Solis' Right Knee Issue Was Pre-Existing To Klitschko Fall

[BoxingTech718]

no right-thinking human being could think that grazing punch 2 the hair KO'd Solis.

either he was injured, or he threw the fight. the fact that sooooooo many ppl said it was a "vicious KO", or "KO of the Year' s a sad commentary on the state of humanity.

This........and the Doc's diagnosis backs up the injury theory.

Or maybe because he had to put all 246lb of his weight on one leg because he couldn't put any weight on his right. Some fit and healthy people struggle to keep their balance standing on one leg without having an injury to the other.

This is going to be the first and last time I reply to your post
Watch from 3:00 on, after Solis falls his left leg(specifically at 3:10) is straightened out and you can see that he is using his right leg to gain ground and stand up -- the leg with an apparently torn ligament. So why is he not using the leg that is apparently fine and instead gets up on his hurt leg?
You can respond that he is in shock, and its possible, however scroll down to 3:18 when Solis finally stands up and holds on to the ropes for balance. Note how he tries to shift his weight to his left leg and immeadiately stumbles back to his apparently hurt right leg? Thats because he had minimum control of left lower limb. Its as simple as that.

thanks for posting those gifs brooklynbomber

Solis was clearly hurt, wobbled and knocked down by a hard right hook counter punch from a very heavy handed 6'7 250 lb monster. He never saw the punch coming. The temple shot fucked up Solis' equilibrium, disoriented him and made him do a chicken dance.

Vitali wins by 1st round KO

Yeah right, that's why he was jumping around before the fight

If he had the ACL injury before the fight he would have had difficulty just standing up, let alone jumping. Sounds like BS from a shady promoter to me.

This is going to used as another reason on why they say no one watches boxing anymore.

All I can say is there are alot of people on here commenting that have never been hit on the temple!!!

most boxing journalists should stop writing about boxing because they've never laced a pair of gloves in their lives.

right?

Depends what they are saying!

Depends what they are saying!

the context here is that we can't critique whether vitali's punch was capable of scrambling solis' brain or not because we haven't been hit like that before.

right?

majority of boxing writers' opinion about what happened in a fight is about something that they have never experienced before.

do you believe that these ppl know what it feels like to be hit by abraham on the head while they're sitting on the canvas?

how bout victor ortiz quitting against maidana?

do they have any idea what kind of pain ortiz was in that made him quit?

should i go on or do you get the point?

Yeah, whatever happens to the medical results confirmed by doctors? You mean to say, they too are BS?
