    Solis' right leg was in an awkward position when his ass hit the canvas. It was unfortunate what happened, but that was a legit injury.

    He hurt himself. The punch had nothing to do with it.

    Vitali ****ed up Danny Williams with a weaker punch than that which was on the top of the head in rnd 1.

    I will. That shot barely landed.

    Fight was a joke. If Vitali was ANY kind of sportsman, he would not want that bull**** on his record.

    LOL.. I could have taken that punch after 10 pints of scrumpy cider.

    Blatant dive

    It wasn't a clean, flush punch. In fact, it was hardly a punch! It was like a wave of the arm which grazed his head. The only explanation I can give, is that it was a freakish, one-in-a-million type of occurance that wobbled him.

    Yep, similar to danny green-paul briggs aswell, although that one was probably a dive with all the suspicious betting activity

    Yes.

    And it was more than a light punch that put him down. You can see Vitali puts quit a bit of force into it.

    The delayed reaction has been seen in many knockouts, as you said.

    When you see the replay from that first, overheard angle, it is clear that the punch was hard, and that Solis took enough of the force to cause BOTH his legs to turn to mush. No question about it.

    Any injury that may have happened, or may not have happened, were AFTER he got his equilibrium short circuited up by the hard hook to the temple.

    Okay. I've just seen it. Those videos are entirely unhelpful because I had to download one and slow it down 4 times, zoom in and replay it about 5 times just to see it.

    It did genuinely land at the top of his head:

    I appreciate without the animation and the **** quality that isn't exactly conclusive so I'll try and make a GIF of it if I find out how to.

    Thank you for the picture. Now can these idiots STOP SAYING IT WAS A DAMN TEMPLE SHOT?

    ****ing Christ... some people are blind. At least I can make a list of who I know can't judge a fight for **** now.
