[oogiebe]

To put an end to the myth that the great Vitali was never ko'd, here's Britain's Pele Reid knocking out Vitali.

Yes, but remember that this was supposed to be an exhibition with no kicks to the head allowed.

I didn't see anything on that. I'll take your word for it, although that wasn't the first high kick of the fight.

[Caractacus]

from what I remember it was an illegal kick and Vitali Klitschko was blind-sinded by it to the the required cumber-some head-gear.

thats been out for years, kicks like that are much harder then punches tbf

Wasn't it a point fighting tournament which is basically no contact, and Reid let it rip and that's how the kayo happened because Klitschko wasn't expecting there to be contact?

[jamamb]

kicks can be brutal, you have to have some sort of freak chin to not be phased by a flush kick, just so much more force u can get into it

even a chick could ko a much bigger guy with a head kick

[Caractacus]

the difference between the first round and the second round was that there weren't any spinning back kicks used by either fighter in the first round,so it must have been an illegal manuever that really caught Vitali Klitschko when he had his guard down when the other guy turned his back to him for a nano-second before delivering the kick out of nowhere..
