I saw it already. I'll re-check on YouTube just for kicks but it was a typical, temple shot, delayed reaction, jelly legs knockdown. Solis probably hyper extended the right knee, but then why was his left leg unable to support him when he tried to get up?
Dude already posted a picture of it, freeze frame. It wasn't on the temple. All you fools saying it was need to have your eyes checked. It was a glancing shot to the top of the head. Vitali didn't even have good leverage on the punch for crying out loud, it was a ****ing arm punch. You guys need to get your eyes checked, seriously. NOT ONE PERSON HAS SAID A THING ABOUT HIS LEGS BEFORE THE PUNCH. You guys are ****ing blind, he clearly turned his left ankle and hyper-extended his right leg as he tried to step back to regain his balance.
Which is why I don't believe he was hiding an injury just to collect a check as the announcers suggested. I mean This content is protected & Vitali is a very accurate puncher when he gets his timing & distance down.
According to Solis himself it was the punch, the leg injury came during the fall. That's supposedly what he said, not me.
Link? I don't believe you, just like I do not believe Vitali. I would call Vitali a liar to his face about this fight if he tried to claim that was a solid shot. That punch wouldn't have taken a drunken idiot down. Solis turned his left ankle BEFORE the punch, and stepped back with the right leg and hyper-extended it as he tried to regain balance. Clear as day leg injury. He was backing up and going down regardless. I don't even like any heavyweight... so i have ZERO bias.
Here you go, for as long as the link lasts anyway..................... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2LWg4Jbq38[/ame]
Cause they were fine before the punch. If he were hyper extending and twisting, funny how all this happend right after the headshot.......and BOTH of his legs would not work, as he was trying to get up by the ropes, and BOTH legs and knees were wobbling after he had already gotten up by the ropes. Headshot sapped him. Any injuries were AFTER his legs went to rubber. Not one was rubber, but BOTH of them were............... :good
He turned his left ankle and lost his balance BEFORE Vitali threw a punch. When Solis threw his right hand, he twisted the ankle. That is BEFORE Vitali countered.
Then why do BOTH legs fail to do what he wants them to, after struggling to get up, and also after he was hanging on the ropes? I guess he tore both knees, then? LOL
Dude froze the picture. It was a glancing shot on the top of the head. It is in the other thread. Everybody is ignoring it because it SHOWS CLEAR AS DAY HE DID NOT HIT THE TEMPLE.
