That guy should have just stayed down after he was knocked down for about the seventh or eighth time. Geez.

The asian was obviously overmatched. While I cannot say too much for his intelligence he definately has plenty of heart to keep getting up and keep trying. He must also have a 'steel Chin" Klitschko kicked in the head three time in the first round without this fellow going down. Most fighters would have been knocked out cold from this type of beating.

That is some of the coolest footage I've seen, just great. I wonder if kickboxing helped with his boxing, or perhaps contributed to his injuries (I've heard about martial artists having a lot of knee and hip problems.) Just wondering out loud.

It definately gave him his leaning back style. Aside from Lewis did anybody land any combos on Vitali? He was always half anticipating shots and leaning away. He learned this from kickboxing. He made himself fight large, unlike Micheal Grant who was always leaning forward and was nearly decapitated by Golota and then was decapitated by Lewis......
