surprising result. polaykovs a tough dude and wasnt expecting him to fold early from shots like that. those shots didnt look much at all. and then to just stroll over to the corner like that then go down.

K1 champs aint jokes, Rico Verhoeven also has more weight as AJ and he trained Tyson Fury to the point Tyson beat Klitschko.

Yeah the kickboxing experience is def non neglectable

Most kickboxers will kickbox and then box.... But he is doing both careers at the same time competing in glory and boxing. Tough and talented fighter no doubt.. .great body puncher too

Exactly this, Povetkin, both Klitschko's, Whyte, Miller, Spong, they all used to be kickboxers and are doing well in boxing.

Matt Skelton is another who imo did well thanks to experience & a calm lucid style he acquired in Kickboxing.

Kyotaro in Japan is doing well to hide an average chin imo thanks to his K1 experience...
