Russia-vs.-Cuba boxing bout a letdown

Share it

The heavily-anticipated showdown between Russia’s Vitali Klitschko (42w, 2l) and Cuba’s Odlanier Solís ended in a first-round knockout last Saturday. But it wasn’t what fans watching on TV and the 19 thousand in attendance in Cologne, Germany, expected.

Vitali landed a straight right to the Cuban’s face three minutes into the bout, but what ended the affair was a knee injury that left the fallen athlete unable to get up due to torn ligaments.

Vitali thus retains his Boxing Council title and remains unbeaten since 2003.
