Did Solis being a slob really lead to him being injured?

[Sparked_1985]

From what I know of biology as a rule of thumb: the bigger the muscles, the greater the bone density.

Your skeleton responds to the amount of pressure you put it under, if it is used to heavy loads - bones can adapt and become more dense to compensate. In essence - you will have a stronger skeleton. This why we can get these weight-lifters that can lift a small house.

So, by definition the opposite is also possible. The less we exercise: the thinner our bones can become. Our body responds to the workload placed on it. Hence, why exercise is key if you want to avoid being a hunch-back when you're old.

You could argue that Solis losing muscle and potentially weakening his skeleton whilst putting on mass makes him more predisposed to injury and his body letting him down like it did.

solis should of never had a title shot... in the first place

This is the truth, but sticking to the topic being a pro athlete means being as overweight as Solis is will lead to injuries. So yes, him being fat was obviously a big reason he got hurt.

[The Gambler1981]

Well the higher the weight the more pressure on the joint, fat people generally have lots of lower leg issues.

It wasn't a bone that got broke it was a ligament and mass plays a role in force.

So there is probably some truth in it.

A thing like this most likely would be far less likely to have happened to Solis 8-years-ago. Though, I do think Vit messed him up with the shot but he would have had a minute to recover in between rounds.

Poor professionalism.

he should do some weights on his legs, it'll strenghten the tendons and ligaments

I'm sure weight had factor in his injury. I haven't seen much of Solis, but he did seem a little tighter than in previous fights that I've seen. I think big guys are more prone to knee injuries when they pivot or plant while throwing certain punches. We've seen Jameel McCline, Mike Tyson, and others get leg injuries from this. I think its matter of technique, weight, physics, and kinesiology.

Its possible.....

on the other hand, one can always say that solis could have been a victim of rare circumstance, in that he moved in such a way at that particular angle and at that particular time that the end result is what we saw.

in the end, we're all just left speculating.
