Vitali is a better kickboxer than most people give him credit for also
He's used to being injured, and taking punishment on the body. People also forget that's where most of his nagging injuries came from.

Vitali has never been knocked out with a punch. His stoppage losses in K1 were from leg kicks.....Pele Reid's repeated blows on him the most famous.
And Oleg Maskaev did not knock him out. In fact.....Vitali's corner threw in the towel because he wasn't following instructions congruent with the amateur system.

Yeah, well. Hear say.
I was just pointing out that his stoppages in K1 were from verbal submission from constant lower leg kicks and that was Reid's defining win.......Vitali said he was tired of getting kicked in the leg and quit the fight. And don't call him a quitter.
Everyone quits in MMA it's too ****ing brutal to continue. Him quitting against Byrd is a different story however.

Does it worry me that two seperate men, sparring partners, were able to so badly hurt Vitali right before his retirement? Very much. Call it an asinine thing to bother me but ring rust and inactivity will be an issue when he steps back into the ring. Now we learn he walked away from the sport due to injuries that put him out because he was badly hurt by his sparring partners. No discredit to these two men but I don't see them as championship material. Being a National Golden Gloves winner is a huge credit to your skill- but it's still an accolade that bespeaks of good amateur credentials as opposed to true professional level skills. There's a big difference. Vitali may be making a mistake in coming back.Comment
