    First, hands up at all times. Second, attack when they're moving to cut off the ring. Third, the first time that doesn't work and a bomb wizzes passed your head, throw yourself to the canvas, awkwardly if possible. If followed correctly, some will at least claim you won the 'event'.

    Will Haye use a similar strategy, be there for the payday alone, culminating in the usual anti-climactic norm for modern HW title fights? or will he go for broke and let the leather fly? I'm not asking if he's going to win, just whether or not fans think he will throw caution to the wind, or at the very least, try to win...

    I just felt anything having to do with that fight really should be misleading and dissapointing...

    What, falling down after the first decent shot and breaking your leg?

    Yeah, I believe that just might work if someone else does it.

    :huh At least he had some skills that he showed for about a minute, which is more than can be said for most zombiefied Klit opponents. If there's someone out there that's actually in shape to work his skills, and doesn't fold from the 1st punch landed, then the Klits will actually get challenged.

    Vitali was winning the first round. He was landing his jabs, landed a really nice body shot and the right hook really did the damage, put Solis down, made him drunk, could not continue. Solis had no chance. The only real punch that Solis landed was right hand which did not even make Vitali blink! Solis can't take punches.

    Tough to argue someone was winning a round up until the point they got ko'd, but, he looked to be more of a live opponent than anyone else Vitali has fought since Lewis. IDK enough to judge his chin but, that shot that put him down did not look like it should have... and he didn't look out on his feet like one would expect from such a long delayed reaction...

    It was just unsettling to anyone who watched it, fans like to see a punch connect before the guy goes down, not a punch you have to watch in slow motion 5 times from 5 different angles just to say it grazed the top of his head...

    Either his chin is as bad as you say or he went into the fight with an injury, or both, IDK, I was just dissappointed with the fight...

    He was winning the fight until he lost.
