Vitali Klitschko 249.5 - Odlanier Solis 246.9

[Conrad]

Clearly a knee injury IMO, Despite what Lyle thinks Solis was edging that round for me. Vitali did the stalking but Solis countered well on the back foot.

I'd actually feel sorry for Solis if he didn't turn up so out of shape. With the exception of Foreman, NO HW boxer deserves ANY success when they turn up looking like that. Totally inexcusable

Totally, Solis was winning the round and then twisted his knee quite nastily. Vitali landed nothing that hurt Solis IMO. There is no arguing with it as if you can't get up then you are TKO'd, but I would still like to see a rematch a year later. It was VERY clearly a leg injury that stopped the fight and nothing more.

It was just one of them freak incidents that we get every now and then.

has anyone seen the medical report ?

looked to me as if solis wanted a way out.

[AdamGB]

Yeah... He was taking a helaishus beating and threw the fight...

In all honesty it was farcicle, but looked legit.

i didnt say he was taking a beating adam , i just didnt like the way he looked , stage fright , if he is badly hurt his leg then i am happy he couldnt continue.
If he hasnt then it shows he was looking for a way out.
Just feels a bit strange.

And yes he needs to do much more swimming.

That fight did no favours for heavyweight boxing at all.

Solis big night and had a chance to win and he didnt bother to get in peak condition deserves everything he gets imo.

[GAME]

Solis can blame his knee but he knows that its his own fault for not getting in shape. Those feaks accidents dont happen very often to conditoned fighters. He was just too fat and his knee couldnt support him.

Even had he come in weighing 220 he still wouldnt have been good enough anyeway.The first semi decent punch he had to absorb hurt him and scrambled his senses. No way could he have absorvbed another even if he did beat the count. He just wasnt good enough to survive a round with a 40 year old. Vitali goes on still chasing a defining fight as nobody so far has been able to provide a challenge. What I will say about Vitali though is this is another time where he has reacted poorly after the final bell. Remember after Lewis and his unprofessional conduct. Remember when his bro got sparked by Sanders and then yesterday he was shouting at a fallen opponent. Not classy. The only time Ive seen him behave was when Byrd made him quit on his stool which humbled him abit.

Knee injuries, weight catches up to people eventually, it's clearly a sign that he SHOULD be weighing less if he's gonna do this for a living. His knee wouldn't give out so easily if all that extra weight wasn't on it. Solis had the right game plan, had the speed, and was doing well but that weight came back to bite him. He's too top heavy. He's like I am when I'm out of shape, I'm top heavy as well, whenever I was overweight and I tried to play basketball I always came home and my knees are in a lot of pain or I always seemed to tweak them when I'm out there and at 23 years old the LAST thing my knees should be is in pain after a game of basketball. When I lost weight(thanks to p90x shameless plug) when I go out there it doesn't seem so bad. Because my weight is pretty much at where it should be and it isn't putting extra pressure on my knees. If you don't treat your body right, it will hurt you. Solis is too top heavy with that kind of pressure on his knees, he is about 20 pounds away from where he needs to be, maybe more even. But in this time off and rehabbing he should use it as an opportunity to get in much better shape before he shoots his knees to crap over his negligence and lack of physical discipline.

The only way it would have been any more embarassing for the sport is if Solis had came in as he did and won.

The fact that he came in looking so unconditioned and suffered an injury that a 25 year old should not suffer is a joke in itself... But at least it shows that you can't show up looking like that in this sport and be serious

Maybe Aqua Aerobics would suffice

I agree, Al. In a way, it looked like a dive. Solis wasn't in a ton of pain after the fight and he wasn't seeking medical attention. Maybe it was an injury he got in training and he went through with the fight anyway to secure the pay check.

[Mctaggert]

I think that is quite possible, I was thinking myself that he might already be injured. If he knows he'll get a rematch maybe he landed a few punches. Found what he needed to know, and decided to take a dive, and come back thinner and stronger another day.
