Anybody remember Odlanier Solis?

Huge Klitschko fan but come on, the punch isn't what stopped Solis. The knee was already injured according to media reports, but Solis went ahead with the fight to get the 1.8 million. Unsurprisingly, it blew out almost immediately once Vitali went on the attack.

Solis had already had problems in his right knee.

"We knew it, but we didn't want to let it jeopardise the fight against Vitali," said the Cologne Arena spokesman Malte Mueller-Michaelis.

"His manager Jose Perez knew about the previous problem, but it was thought it would go away if there was enough training and the muscle stabilised the knee."

Here's Mannix calling Solis a fraud over it

Does Vitali deserve 100% credit for the win? Absolutely. Solis knew the risk of being embarrassed, but didn't want to delay the payday. But did the punch KO Solis? Absolutely not.

he was fat and planted wrong, he ended himself..no shot at Vitali but he did nothing to end it..and his reaction after the fight showed that

He may have been a little fat, but that RIGHT knee injury was sustained when he was back pedaling after losing his footing because he got fkn clobbered! There was zero evidence to validate his claim that he hurt his RIGHT knee before he got hit. None! The end.

Wasted talent.

How many people start out as one of the best, and make it through? Rhetorical question.

Then you get guys like Rocky Marciano... Two left feet, no reach, about as graceful as a bull in a China shop... And they hit the high notes.

Human nature lol.

Did you actually watch the fight? Solis was throwing a few nice overhands in the brief event that was the fight. He then tore a muscle in his knee and had to pull out

You would be amazed at how many cannot be bothered to understand that Solis basically, through one of those things... received a career ending injury (as a top level competitor) when he tore that leg muscle... Still most people will say that he got beaten in that fight.

Anyone who has ever twisted an ankle playing basketball knows that the ankle is weakened, the person is tentative for a long time... Now picture that with half a leg...and knowing how important it is to plant that leg on impact. Solis was done... and it had nothing to do with Vitalie.

where was the "CLOBBERING"? I POSTED THE IMAGE, VIDEO AND EVERYTHING.

[billeau2]

I've watched it a MILLION times as I am a Vitali fan. His legs went to sh@t when he got hit with a temple shot.

No dis*****g it,

THE END.

You know... you once told me something to the effect of, "you can be a real dingle berry sometimes but put fourth some nice posts."

Im saying this, not to antagonize. Not even to talk about Vitalie who is in some respects underated at times... NOT EVEN to talk about Solis! Who is polarising.

Clearly, Solis was recovered and was setting when his leg gave out. It is in the video you presented. He went down when he put weight on the leg and it gave out, not from any punch.

Yes, yes it was. Stop showing a lack of fundamental understanding of how boxing works. It's not becoming of you. His LEFT leg straightened out because he lost motor function and later in his fall from a PUNCH CONCUSSION, his RIGHT knee was injured. That was a chain of events, not the cause of those events.

THE END

He just posted evidence it was injured before the fight evidence you said didn't exist. Didn't you claim you were an expert on this? What an idiot.

Not even close. His left leg straightened out right after the punch as he lost his motor functions. His right leg was the one that was injured and later had surgery to repair. There is no other explanation as to why he couldn't use his left leg properly too if the punch had not caused the sequence of events to unfold. He got hit by a temple shot and got knocked out. At the time, I was disappointed too because I was expecting a longer fight but that is boxing.

Sorry if that doesn't work with whatever your agenda is, but truth is truth and those are undisputable FACTS.
