It was a short right that did the most damage, also a headbutt doesn't do merely the same damage as a kick.
But if you say so I can use your logic to make argument for Corrie Sanders - Wlad becoming NC2. Which I wouldn't really like to do.

Also what is your point again?

Compare this to Badr Hari knocking or Stefan leko with a heel kick, and Peter Graham knocking out and Breaking Haris jaw with his rolling thunder kick. Big difference, Vitalis iron chin shows a bit here actually, most people get badly KTFO by kicks like that.

Obviously this isn't the real Pele, Vitali clearly wasn't out. this is amateur soft contact stuff where extra precautions are taken(no standing 8 counts), they keep you down and take your headgear off just to be safe.

I'm not defending Vittles, he got KTFO'd by a textbook kick, and he should admit it, but the fact is, this was a completely different sport than boxing

on a related topic, didn't Maskaev KO Vitali in the ams? any footage of it?

Maskaev said he battered Vitali for a round & his corner threw the towel in.

Vitali says his hand was injured & he was kickboxing soon after so his team pulled him out because he kept using his injured hand.

Vitali didnt get knocked out but he didnt last long. It was in 1991, the year before Reid KTFO Vitali

He's still a liar.

At least Vitali, speaking of boxing, was a second tier boxer who fought the top. Wlad is a joke.

[Stinkmeaner]

He wasnt KOed, he was just dehydrated, sick, had personal issues, shoulder injury and broken toe.

[Squire]

That kick would have KO'd anyone

[beat down]

Pathetic denile in this thread from klitards, Vitali got his shit pushed in, simples.

[Jack]

Certifiable grade A china. Case closed.
