Personally, I think it was a combination of taking a punch while he was drained from weight loss, and still had too much weight on the knee besides. I wish the man well, and hope he learned a lesson.
He obviously had a bad knee, one that went out on him again at a very bad time. I wonder why he didn't have it fixed before. Anyway it seems like not many on this board has ever played sports or had a injury.
he gets hit on the left side of his head. he stumbles and it looks like its his left foot that hurt, then he falls with his feet planted in one place, without even trying to catch balance, and grabs his right knee. clearly an knock down punch, that ****ed his equilibirum and had him go down. the rest in my opinion was a strange act, until it gets proven otherwise, i saw nothing in his feet, that constituted that knock down. bull**** i say.
The punch made his leg stiff and his fatass hurt it and fell. He could have gotten up and kept fighting if it wasn't for his leg though. If he was in good shape, we wouldn't be talking about this
If that punch were enough to knock a 250lb man down, no boxing matches would ever get out of the first round.
It looked to me that he took a shot and when he went to back up he couldn't position his feet properly and injured himself.
i was dissapointed. he better have some proff, that **** was fucekd. his manager sseeemed pisse.d vitali was pissed too. and so was i ****s , all of em
The punch took away his equilibrium, then in the act of trying to regain his balance whilst on ***** street, his weight was too much for his knee/kankle to handle. And kankle was not a typo. That mofo has some of the biggest kankles since Sarah Palin
I think personally he locked up his left knee as a result of his forward movements (the throwing punches and jumping in to a square on position) and took that punch to the top of the head while his knee was locked and he was thinking about it. Got hurt, was off balance as a result of that and his knee as he was going backwards and basically fell with all his weight onto his right leg and ****ed it up completely. What a strange fight though. I don't think he took a dive anymore (I did after seeing it the first time round in real-time).
Correction- a 200 pound man who is 50 pounds overweight. And a punch from the man with the highest KO percentage in heavyweight champiohship boxing history- (oh yeah, Vitaly now regained that honor from Haye).
Take a look at the replays, Vitali did not land one flush shot, the punches either hit air of tap the edge of solis' gloves. Shamefull Dive by Solis . the real question should be why did he dive? . was he exhausted from losing the weight? . did the klitschkos pay him to dive? . looking for a big paycheck and retire? . A possible rematch with david haye? Whatever the reason was, its a sad night for boxing
Glass jaw and too much ****ing weight. He was wobbled by a punch, and he may of twisted his knee because he is a fatass. I would like to see what the supposed injury is.
