Such a stupid article. Did Oner write that himself? It read Solis on his way to dethronig Vitali....lol it was one freaking round that he lost 10-8. I certainly wouldnt pay for tickets to see that bullshit. Let him prove he can fight with his knee busted up against some decent opponents first theres plenty of guys like Eddie Chambers, Chris Arreola that he should have to face first to prove himself. No fucking way does he come back in 6 months and get another shot. Fucking stupid article.
True, but had the knee not collapsed it would not have been a 10-8 round. Solis was winning the round IMO and I was backing against him. It wasn't a knock down in the usual sense, but you have to give it to Vitali as the ref started counting.

I think Solis has been rushed through too quickly too, but it was a loss brought about through a freak injury. Personally, I would rather he came back in a warm up against those types of opponents too, but I would have no qualms with a rematch.

I don't think he will be ready to fight in 6 months if that injury is as they say and he should certainly have a tune up first to test it out. I guess he just wants to get his shot at Vitali before he retires which I think he may well do at the end of this year.
