Vitali's KO punch.

While Solis has a small chance to beat Vitali, I'd rather see Adamek fight Vitali. At least you know Adamek will be committed enough to get in shape. We really don't need to go into the specifics of the Arreola fight because the point is Vitali has lost a few rounds before and he still managed to win. So even if all the judges gave the round to Solis before his injury occurred, it's still not nearly enough to prove he is better than Vitali. Anyway, we'll see what happens with Solis. But unless you're Cuban, I have no idea why you would be so confident about Solis. He has poor work ethic and hasn't beaten anyone relevant yet.

 

Solis got clubbed, lost his legs and hurt his fat knee as he fell. Grant/McCline part II. Of course, his people want to get another payday so they are now denying he was hurt by the punch and putting full blame on the knee.


Fightnews.com initial report

The previously unbeaten Solis later stated that he injured his right knee after the punch. “I strangely twisted my knee while falling. **** like this happens.” The challenger was brought to the hospital, were the injury was later confirmed. The possibility of a torn meniscus and a ruptured cruciate ligament exists. “I thought he was looking for a way out at first,” Klitschko told the media. “But now that the doctors confirmed his injury, that’s off the table.” His coach Fritz Sdunek added: “Solis was hit, went down and hurt his knee. We can’t change anything about that. That happens.” Solis’ promoter Ahmet Öner explained: “He has a serious knee injury and probably tore his ligament. He has to get surgery. This is very disappointing for us. Solis had a good start


And after probably having a long talk with his people....a completely different spin.


“I was just unlucky,” says Solis. “I didn’t even feel the shot that he landed on me and it certainly did not take me out. I felt that there was something wrong with my leg and I lost my balance. When I went down I knew immediately that there was something wrong. I promise that I will be back soon and even stronger — if I get a second chance I will win the title.”
