[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] the clip only goes to 3:33 but I am watching the full match now and Vitali was on the ground until around 9:40. which means he couldn't get up for 7+ minutes. I am confused by this because to me Vitali got the 2nd greatest chin in boxing history behind Oliver Mccall. How is it possible for him to be lying there for that long over a kick? |

Put it this way... do you think you can send a basketball flying farther and higher by punching or kicking it?

Yes kicks are more powerful than punches in general. Different body shapes have different bio-mechanics so some guys kick much harder than they punch, others not so much. I would imagine that type of kick is the 'overhand right' of kicks, a lot of momentum and full extension. It also looks like it caught Vitali by surprise, which as we all know makes a big difference. He looked a lot skinnier back then and had a lot less stability. I'd be surprised if he literally COULDN'T get up for 7 min cause his head popped up straight away so he wasn't out cold. Maybe his coaches were telling him to stay down rather than stand up and be unsteady. Don't get me wrong he was definitely shook, Amir Khan had the same thing against Prescott, his head came up but nothing else would respond.

Well it's very simple, your legs are stronger than your arms. Let's say you can pick up 35lbs with one arm, doing curls, you could most likely do double that+ with one leg.
Strong legs are a big part of generating power punches, swinging a bat hard, pitching 95 miles per hour, dunking, having a good jump shot, etc. |
