Was solis winning until the tko?

Stay on topic and answer the point.

 

Solis was clearly robbed

 

Vitali's body shots outnumbered all of Odlanier's connects, period.

Vitali didn't land a high % of his jabs to the head, but he landed a few. Add them to the right hands to the body, and it's WAY more clean touches than Solis got in.

You have to take body shots into account when scoring. Many people don't.

 

Learn some boxing, then score the round. It'll take you a few years, though.

 

Anger and frustration aren't the only two emotions a person displays in defeat. He was obviously just that, 'defeated'. I can understand it. I think he realizes it was the knee that really did it and how unfortunate it was for it to happen in a title fight. What was he supposed to do, jump up and down in the ring flinging his sponge bob chain at the canvas...

 

So, what about scoring the round once it's online? Mhh?

 

I think he was competive but even without the knockdown. I would have given the round to Vatili.

 

Sure. The Youtube video will show exactly what the EPIX broadcast showed - Vitali being the ring general and controlling Solis with his jab, landing several rights to the body and taking all of one flush power punch in return. :conf

 

Ok, PM me if you find the clip first, I'll do the same.

 

Maybe it's because I don't follow Vitali very closely, but this clear hateful agenda against him comes as sort of a shock.

I thought it was only Wladimir (the brother I actually do support) that copped this much irrational flack. :conf

VK has always seemed to be Mr. Popular (except of course in those Lewis TKO6 threads, where half prop him up as a boxing god and the other half deride him as a Euro bum).

Suggesting Solis won the round is like suggesting Ibragimov got robbed against little brother. :deal

 

How can anyone suggest he won the round? It was a 10-9 round for him UP TO THAT POINT. Obviously the KD changes the whole round and fight.

 

It was a 10-9 Klitschko round through 2:30 :bart

Klitschko walked him down, controlled the distance and pace, threw more, and missed more (lots of busy floating jabs cutting air) but also landed more.

 

Don't forget the UK.

Cubans blinded by love of Solis. UK blinded by hatred of Klits.

 

Ohhh...forgot all about that angle. :good

Well, UK blinded by hatred of Vitali.


Wladimir is hated by pretty much everybody, except Ukrainians and Germans (and me). :yep

 

I had Solis so far ahead on points that Vitali needed the KO to win the fight.
