It didint last long and was far from dramatic but Vitali Klitschko made the sixth defense of the WBC Heavyweight title when Odlanier Solis could not continue at the end of round one in Cologne, Germany.
Solis was doing decent in the first round as he landed a couple of shots with his quick hands. Klitschko was forcing Solis but landed nothing of note. At the end of the first frame, Solis jumped forward and then fell to the canvas after his leg gave out. The action was ruled a knockdown by referee Guadlupe Garcia. Solis got to his feet and was limping badly and the fight was waved off.
Klitschko, 249 lbs of Kiev, Ukraine is now 42-2 with thirty-nine knockouts. Solis, 245 lbs of Miami is now 17-1.
