The Cum Doctor Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'm with Lawz. I'm calling shenanigans on that. Vitali looked raging at the end too, probably saying "what was that ya dafty?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 That looked exceptionally dodgy, the punch didn't look like anything. I'm sure he sold the right leg before selling the left later. Just seemed very dodgy to watch. Odlanier Solis has sustained serious knee injuries in his first-round knockout defeat by WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko on Saturday. The 30-year-old Cuban was taken to hospital, where a scan revealed tears to his anterior cruciate ligament and external meniscus, as well as cartilage damage in his right knee.  The crowd in Cologne was disappointed by the 179-second bout. The fans booed and whistled for several minutes after it ended.  Klitschko said he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members martyngnr Posted March 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 BBC Clicky  According to German newspaper Die Welt, Solis had already had a problem with his right knee before the fight.  "We knew it, but we didn't want to let it jeopardise the fight against Vitali," said the Cologne Arena spokesman Malte Mueller-Michaelis.  "His manager Jose Perez knew about the previous problem, but it was thought it would go away if there was enough training and the muscle stabilised the knee."  If he went in there with a dodgy knee then he is an idiot. Hope the payday was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 He probably thought he may not get another chance at Vitali, especially if Haye comes through against Wladimir and they set up a huge unification bout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopants the Scrunge Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 yeh, alot of the time it doesn't work out in...I remember Takaloo being on the recieving end of one of the worst KO's ive ever seen.  around 1:40 in.   YEOUCH! He looked like he had the other guy in trouble for a bit there too.  Thats ironic because if I remember rightly he was trained by Jim Mcdonnell and he got KO'd in a very similar fashion by Azumah Nelson...  Turns out Howard Eastman is doing time for Cannabis possession....

mikey Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26...6819298,00.html DeGale comes across as a complete tit in this interview, where as I think Groves comes off really well.  I really hope DeGale gets his face smashed in.  DeGale is a tit. He's also immensely talented and has a unique style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 22, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 so gutted with the Vitali/Solis fight Barry McGuigan's head almost fell off in the build up, he was getting really excited. The time in which it lasted it did look like it was gonna shape up to be a good one too. Just a shame with what happened, the punch definately took Solis' legs, just looked like the loss of balance just blew his knee out.

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) It sucked bad. I was watching it with my friend who is sadly currently on the shelf after a 3rd op on a ruptured cruciate ligament and he called it straight away. Even at the the body language was a stick on that it was nothing other than legitimate the lad looked distraught. Actually reminded me a wee bit of the Tyson v Seldon fight when it had some people calling foul after a fairly innocuous looking punch in real time but when you see it slowed down on replay it was bang on the temple. Â PS: Another great Ringside this week with a feature interview with Bernard Hopkins. Fast becoming one of the best programmes on SKY Sports over the last couple of months.

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just got round to watching PrizeFighter on SKY+ Â All i can say it strikes me as more and more crooked as each event comes and goes. I'm not sure if it's the insistence to show in-play betting odds every two minutes but the whole thing seems a sham. Can't get the thought of the boxing scenes in Snatch out of my mind when i watch it. It's just a hunch and i don't have anything to base it on but it just seems such a stitch up.
