Yeah, that's pretty accurate. He apparently had a pre-existing knee injury from playing basketball with Ramon Garbey. The punch stunned him and the combination of being 245, off balance, and having a minor (?) knee injury to begin with with precipitated his knee ripping in half. He beat the count and could've continued without the injury, but it was a moot point since he could barely walk at that point.
The video shows that Vitali landed a right hook to Solis' temple, Solis went down and then hurt his knee, after Vitali landed the punch. It is as clear as clear can be................
this happens when you fight a series of unfit fatboys. but no worries the K bros will be finished soon enough then real boxing can commence.
and beat up the poor upcoming "saviors" while they're at it. Won't be surprised to actually see a guy like Solis with a supersized worldtitle belt around his waist after Wladschko calls it a day.
I still feel sorry for myself for staying up to watch that fight. Didn't realize how incompetent the professional version of Solis will really turn out to be.
Solis had the talent and skill, but no will or discipline to be top professional athlete in the new circumstances where you work out when you want to work out compared to working out under "strong encouragement". He just wanted to have another big mac under his belly as quick as possible and hurt his knee thinking that... Vitali never hit him - it shows in his reaction.
