    People are unbelievable. He OBVIOUSLY was hurt because of his knee and not because of that pawing punch that happened to touch the back of his head. It's to bad too but he wasn't stunned and in retreat mode because of a punch. He was on his backfoot the whole round making Vitali come to him, that's all he was doing.

    If he can come back, I still thinks Solis has a good boxing IQ and puts his punches together faster then anyone in the division including Haye.

    ...Well it's nice that you think that way, but it's erroneous because Vitali is still the WBC title holder.

    Could there be a future rematch? Sure. Will there be a rematch...well I doubt it, but hell stranger things have happened. I do figure Vitali will retire before Solis is in any kind of shape to challenge for another belt.

    amat, I don't question Solis' ability as a boxer. His amateur pedigree and success thusfar speaks for itself. I do not think Solis took that punch well at all...whether it caught him off balance or he twisted his knee throwing the punch that got countered, I don't know. But I do know Solis has been down early in a fight before (vs you know who in the amateurs) and a fighter of his calibre should NOT get caught off balance especially when he's boxing relatively well. Solis has plenty of upside, plenty of pro potential, but this knee injury isn't good for him and I never once thought his chin was all that great (regardless of whether or not the punch hurt him...I saw that it did as his left leg buckled, but whatever) being immobile or less mobile now after suffering the injury and never really training all that well is not going to help him out in the long run.

    You've got to ask yourself...what's Solis going to do vs someone like Wlad who would tie him up and lean on him? What would he do vs someone like the WBA title holder that he'd have to stalk down? How's the knee going to hold up to that? How will it hold up if he's trying to fight in and out like he tried vs Vitali? When he got hurt he was on a good knee, now he'll have to do it on a knee that at best may be 95% what it used to be and I don't forsee Solis going on Slimfast anytime soon either.

    It annoys me that people (now I sound like Teath!) say Vitali hit him with a pawing or glancing blow. Okay it wasn't a haymaker but Solis ducked into a temple shot.

    His whole oversized upperbody... Straight into an uppercut... That landed clean on the temple.

    It stiffened up his whole left leg i tell you!

    OK now, having seen Solis falling from every angle they had #1 The punch did land clean (solid counter by Vitali) #2 The punch DID hurt Solis #3 When Solis tried to sturdy himself by shifting weight back to his right he blew his knee out. That's just what I saw.

    Bilbo come on man you know that temple shots can knock you off balance right? You do know this medical fact? You dont have to be hit in the chin for your equilibrium to get scrambled. I saw him get hit in the temple area, his neck gets a shockwave that send his legs squirrelly. If he wasnt affected by the punch he would have brought his left leg back rather than it spazzing out like it did. Some people just see what they want to see. Glen Becks of boxing I swear.

    Not sure if we're trying to detract more from Vitali or make excuses for Solis ha. Theres no doubt that a shot-punch-half a hand landed and the impression of a fat kid on a sugar high wearing roller skates by Solis followed immediately afterwords. As shit as it sounds its irrelevant. Or this....

    It's not really a question of whether the punch had any effect, it's whether it was the reason he couldn't continue. I'm sure Vitali felt the punches that solis countered him with too, it doesn't mean had his leg popped at that time that it would have been those punches that ko'd him.

    Watch your own video back. He gets hit with a glancing temple shot. Then a full three seconds pass before he steps back and his knee goes. Whether he felt the punch or not, or whether it contributed to his knee buckling isn't the issue here. It just seems clear to me, and I think most unbiased observers that it was the knee that prevented him from fighting.

    Do you think from watching that video that he would have gone down with a healthy knee? I disagree completely. Count the three seconds, why did he go down then? Would he have been so discombobulated that his legs turned to jelly, but still sharp enough to clutch his knee as he was falling to make it look as if his knee went? Would he have been clear eyed enough to shake his head at his corner, indicating his knee was bust when he got up?

    He lost 100% because his knee went. And like most, I thought he was winning the fight from at that point.

    He was doing something that nobody else has managed against Vitali thus far. Fight defensively on his back foot and catch Vitali as he was coming in using his superior handspeed. What would have happened? I don't know and can't say, certainly Vitali never looked hurt by those shots but it did look like it was getting interesting.

    Hopefully he can come back.


    Also, can we stop this ridiculousness about Solis being knocked down and almost finished by Haye in the Olympics.

    Here is the fight

    He walks on to a tremendous uppercut, the kind of shot that KO'd Darchinyan and Paul Williams, and doesn't go down but staggers back and takes a mandatory 8 count.

    He's down 9-2 from that exchange.

    He closes the round at 9-4 which means far from being out on his feet he actually won the rest of the round and then completely dominated David Haye from that point.

    His chin looks pretty solid to me, and his skills are clearly world class.

    If he can recover properly, and get into decent shape, obviously two big if, he can clean up the weight class after the Klitschko's move on imo.

    Healthy i think he can take Haye, Adamek, Povetkin etc. I'm not writing him off yet, providing he takes his training seriously.

    Cheers for the video link, Bilbo.

    Solis was wobbled backwards, but took that punch fairly easily and then came back to show that he was much better than Haye. I have tried to ignore Solis thus far, but I am really coming around to him.

    I can't believe you guys are arguing Solis was KO'd by that slap. (that looked more like a table tennis fore-paddle swing) He 'obviously' missed his cue. He did such a bad job of acting that he had to turn to an alternative knee injury. Daaa!

    You wrote that huge post and completely missed the point we were argueing about. Of course he could have continued after the knockdown if his knee wasnt equal to a geriatric old lady. He hurt his right knee bilbo, once he was already falling, or as you conspiracy freaks think re-agrivated an already injured knee. Why wouldnt they give him a knee brace? You know like Jesus Chavez used to wear. So was his left knee injured as well? Is that why it was shaking like a leaf? The punch caused the knockdown, and I dont think some of you guys are as unbiased as you think you are....Why would his left knee shake like that, can you explain that one to me? You guys are funny, from one round of boxing you come up with him being able to beat anyone but a Klitschko. All the talk they did about we are going toupset Vitali, this and that, then to come in that shape. He doesnt get any credit from me. If his knee was injured shame on his manager for letting him possibly ruin his career.

    I not disagreing with any of that really. If he knew he had a leg injuy he shouldn't have fought, not saying Vitali doesn't deserve the win.

    It was no KO because of a punch though.

    As for his other leg twitching, he was in pain people do twitch when they are in pain. Floyd Mayweather was knocked down when he broke his hand, he involuntarily collapsed onto the floor in pain. Was he hurt by a punch too, or his did his legs go becuase of the pain he was in? You tell me, his legs buckled no doubt, must have been hurt by a punch...
