Clearly, the man's head is made of stone. lol

Ji "Cabeza de Piedra" Koon or whatever the hell his last name is...

I don't think Kim would even notice if he only threw punches from one hand, just not that sort of fighter.

Good fight, good win for Beltran fought at a very high pace which is not how he generally wants to fight.

Man...that Korean took massive punishment tonight. My hat's off to him. Beltran kept hugging him after every round, almost in disbelief. Who thought after the first three or four rounds this would make it to the distance?

Kim should really consider another profession. He's as tough as they come, but he'll never be anything more than an opponent. Too bad he never learned to fight properly. He might've amounted to something. You can't teach that kind of toughness and courage.

I don't know if he should look for another profession I don't know his options in that regard. A guy can still make alright money as an exciting opponent, although long term he will probably pay a much bigger price than what he will earn.


That is a shame though, I would suggest taking a good long time off and just getting in the gym working on some stuff, then taking some easier fights to see if he can really apply it. He isn't that old only like 24 so maybe he could figure out a couple things.

Yeap...he seems to get more afected for the punches to he body than for the ones in the head..beltran tryied everything to stop him but the Korean was a tough guy

I was only half-serious with that remark, thinking about Kim's long-term health. The same notion crossed my mind: maybe he doesn't have anything better.

You're right, he's young. It would be awesome if Kim can learn some skills. They could take him much further. At the very least, his body wouldn't sustain as much punishment. Good luck to him.
