Was solis winning until the tko?

I think Vitali may have been forced into retirement.

 

I've just rewatched the fight. Vitali had Solis completely figured by something like a minute and a half into the round. He was all set to fire a counter-punch once Solis is within a shooting distance, which is exactly what happened. Excellent timing, aiming and execution by Vitali.

 

Very close round. I had solis winning.

 

You should have stats handy to make this king of claims. If you don't it's nothing but a general impression.

 

NO .
Vitali did win on 1 jabbing skillz and ring generalship .
it is clear as 1 day imo m8 . only bias ,
vitali-haters , can say otherwise .

 

He was definitely winning the first round. Vitali didn’t land any of his jabs and connected only with couple of body shots.
Just before the KO I turned to my friend and said, "this is clearly the hardest opponent Vitali has fight during his comeback". Then I heard class shattering looked back to TV and fat man was down.

Such a disappointment it was turning up to be quite entertaining battle, but guy couldn’t take even one punch.

He showed some skill tought

The fight was deeply annoying. I would have preferred it if Solis had turned up, been a punching-bag for 12 rounds & lost a shut-out UD.

Instead he boxed beautifully then lost via bizarre injury. This leaves a lot of questions unanswered.

Worst. Possible. Result.

 

Expect when you actually look the fight, none of the jabs landed anywhere else than Solis guard

Was Solis winning until the tko com'on your acting like they had fought 1o rounds and he was beating the hell out of klit for **** sakes it was one round and he lost fair and square end of story lets quit the drama.

 

It doesn't matter dude. Solis was lead to believe that he could handle Vitali's jab which prompted him to step up his offense. Then watch the last minute of the fight where Vitali got a feel for Solis' rythm and started implementing his lean-back technique. As Solis lunged deeper into Vitali's defence perimeter, he got blasted with a protective counter-punch which ended the fight. Pro boxing is a lot like a chess game or poker. Mental and intellectual side of a fighter is just as important as a physical one. And Vitali is a master in that department whereas Solis is a mere amateur in comparison.

 

Nice :good

 

:happy


That clip settles any arguments, thanks!

 

Does half of ESB just not know what ring generalship is?

When neither guy lands many clean effective punches, you defer to secondary scoring criteria (ie ring generalship & defense).
