Was Solis on his way to outpointing Vitali before his knee caved in?

No kidding, he lost the round 8-10. So much for the 'Solis was outpointing him' theory

 

oh God not this again

Solis EVT1 Vitali, deal with it already :yep

 

Short answer is "Yes"

He was clearly winning the first round till his leg gave way, would have been 12 rounds of the same

 

Solis was KO'ed in one round.. Vitali's punch connected before his knee went out..

 

He won the event, folks.

 

atsch Yeah amteur career is irelevant thats why USA olympic champions often made more money on debuts than many good fighters get in 20th fight!

 

Because of the knee business theres a bit of controversy,and apart from this he's unbeaten,and fairly highly rated.So he should be able to get into a position to fight Wlad,as Vitalis gonna retire soon.Personally,I can't see it,as he didn't look as though he really gave a **** after the loss.Considering another top Cuban ex olympian stands the door in a bar in Havana Vieja,he's already made it.

 

You are always right

 

Far too little to tell. Probably Vitali's best comeback opponent on a technical basis was Gomez, a very talented southpaw with craft and he seemed like he was going to befuddle Vitali in the first round, put a little southpaw jinx on him, and Vitali adjusted immediately and dominated the rest of the fight to another accumulative beat-down stoppage. I do think Solis was possibly on his way to giving the best technical boxing account of himself of any of Vitali's comeback opponents though. While that's not saying a lot, I think his stock would be higher at least. Both of them, probably, oddly enough, as those things work out. I still think he'd have lost however. I figure him for a wide loss as Vitali puts too much on him or a stoppage loss in the corner late.

 

no, Solis would have suffered a heart attack before the end of the fight

 

If his tactics were so perfect he wouldn't have gotten KO'd. The knee went because his legs were all jelly and he stepped in an imaginary pothole. :deal

And if you disagree, it's because you are a blind Klitschko hater who refuses to actually watch the replay. It's as clear as day.

 

So you are a pro boxer? Can't imagine you amateur box cos 'it like fencing' and you don't like the scoring, can you link us to your boxrec please...

 

Well, Solis still beat the count with a shredded knee. He would've been around for round 2 in any case if the knee were okay.

 

Shredded knee was caused (indirectly) by the punch Vitali landed on his temple.

TKO in 1. Deal with it.
