Vitali's 1st career: KICKboxing!!??

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

I think it speaks even more highly of Vitali to make the transition from kickboxing to boxing and reach such a high level. Kickboxers obviously don't have near the punching skill that a boxer does, and they are used to fighting at a different range than boxers (kicking range rather than punching range). In kickboxing you also get used to keeping guys away with front kicks, so in order to become the champ he was, Vitali had to un-learn a TON of kickboxing habits. I'm surprised over the years he never kicked someone just on instinct in a boxing match.

Do u know who lyle is? He keeps calling me lyle. Im confused...

@THE PHILOSOPHER - Who's calling you Lyle?

Lyle is the Klits biggest ever fan (well until you arrived).

Who bumped this thread, thought it was u? Might have been someone else. Someone has a thing for kickboxing because this was an old thread which is cool as my background is in the sport...

No it wasn't me.

It was funny to see, after all the years of wind-ups, that Vitali did actually get knocked out by a head kick and not a blow to the leg. (That's what @Lyle was for, who is El Kabong these days)

Yeah so what Maskaev stopped him too! Reid was never a great kickboxer and he was a much worse boxer. Vitali on the otherhand went onto become a 3 x champ.

I never got the impression el kabong was a major K2 fan! Where is he these days anyway? Haven't seen him post.

P.s I recommend u dip your toes into the world of kickboxing/muay thai. Every boxing fan should..

Great fighters and athletes a plenty.

Did Vitali have a tag team partner in the kickboxing like he does in boxing?
