    Leg injuries happen a lot. This just happened to be a headline event, otherwise, you would not even hear about it.

    And the fact Solis is a fat slob does not help his legs.

    Sharmba Mitchell, don't forget him.
    Kostya threw him around like a rag dog when he kept trying to grab and hold and destroyed his knee

    Michael Grant??
    Or maybe not, but it was pretty bad his leg just broke against Jameel Mcline.

    glass knees are CRITICAL in boxing. I laugh at all these glass knee apologists

    Mike Tyson had a glass knee against Danny Williams, Thomas Hearns had a glass ankle against Uriah Grant. Most of the times these guys are looking for a way out. I'm certain we'll see more fighters quitting with knee injuries in the future.

    There is great suspicion that Clottey has a glass knee, which explains why he usually is flat-footed and only tries to block punches and not evade them.

    Yep because at age 38, Mike Tyson was still at his physical best and prime. :patsch
