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...

So you're saying had Vitali not landed a power punch Solis would have still fallen backwards and blown out his knee?

There's nothing wrong with that THEORY but the FACTS are the punch landed and then Solis fell down ergo it was a knockdown, had it not been a knockdown the ref would have waved it off as a slip and not started counting, but he did start counting and so obviously the ref saw knockdown and at the end of the day that's what counts.
Im not arguing against the result. He wasnt knocked out by a punch though. I think his leg would have gone at some point in that fight regardless though yes. Also watch the video and count the seconds. Its three seconds from the time Solis gets hit to the time he steps back. The punch might have stiffened his leg sure, if some pushes you it might stiffen your leg, if you lose your balance you might stiffen your leg, and if its weak it might go.

The punch didnt hurt him in the head or unsetltle him at all, if it did why did it take him 3 full seconds to step back?

The pictures put up clearly show how his leg was bent out at a funny angle. He was an accident waiting to happen.
