Not really worthy of an entire thread, perhaps, but did anyone else catch the bit where Vitali hit Danny with both arms simultaneously?
Can you imagine anyone else being able to hit you with both fists at once and having any kind of power behind it whatsoever? Even his regular blows were arm punches only. How hard would this guy hit if he actually sat down on his punches?

That's a standard karate punch (no surprise since VK is 5 time world champ in kickboxing, 3 times pro and 2 times amateur)

I think he uses set-down punches quite rarely and very cautiously
The single left hook that scored the second (heavy) KD was like that

I think Vitaliy also used the same double-arm punch on Kirk Johnson

Nice one Nautilus... I'll have to see that double arm punch in action (saw the fight, don't recall it)
The one against Danny was 100% simultaneous, equal weight on both arms
if it were kung fu, he'd probably be doing jackie chan's concubine strike...
:D
