Kicks are much more powerful than punches. And secondly, Vitali wasn't even matured completely so he would not have been knocked out if he was. Just ask David Tua who was around the same age when he got KTFO by Savon in the amateurs with 1 clean punch.

Fighting "full contact" the expression used for that type of combat explains why he fights in the style he uses! Very dangerous stuff there, they lean away from kicks AND punches and leaning away is not what your taught in boxing!! Ali could do it but not many other, it also explains the stiffness of his back leg. I trained a full contact heavyweight in the late 70s and was impossible for him to adjust to a boxing weight displacement! It was a fault that hurt him alot and its the fault that Vitali has.
He didn't just get knock down, he's OUT! Stiff legged and struggling to rise!

If any of the solid chinned BOXERS of the last 50 years were kicked hard in the face, they would go down too. Vitali has never been down as a pro. No were are not talking about Kickboxing or when a guy is in a schoolyard fight or when they pillow fought as toddlers, Boxing.Comment
