Overeem is pretty good at what he's doing...his style is tailor made for K1 and he's a big ass strong mother****er and that helps him when he's up against a guy who's more skilled then him....watch his fight against Spong and his first fight against Aerts. In a boxing match he would be outsized, outskilled and outmuscled by Vitali.
Overeem's main weapon is his knees. Which he can utilize good in MMA and definitely kickboxing. But if he's actually serious about getting in the ring with Vitali and throwing nothing but hands with him ...he needs to be realistic and stop trying to waste our time. Vitali would knock him out in 2 rounds
He will fight better than that ***** Haye that's for sure. And yes there is possible that a K1 fighter to beat a boxer in a boxing match. What are you people smoking? There were professional boxers in the K1 and also K1 fighters that had a professional boxing carrier. It's not like Vitaly is a defensive wizard.
Of course it is, but someone with zero career boxing matches isn't going to beat Vitali f'n Klitschko
This is a farce to say the least. Overeem was having trouble with Werdum's standup game (he's average at best). How's Overeem going to deal with a world class boxer like Vitali? Obviously it's all about money but most of what Overeem would earn would go towards his medical bill. If Overeem wants to try something different and dangerous....try Jon Jones.
Vitali could fill up Staples Center by doing this. Good, easy money and American recognition/respect. Wouldn't be for the WBC title, but who cares. They wouldn't strip him and, for the right dollars, it could probably be a title defense. Fight him in December and finish the year with TKO 1 Solis, ? Adamek, TKO 1 Overeem This reminds me of a throwback reminiscent of Floyd Patterson vs. Pete Rademacher. Klitschko haters would ***** at it, but who cares? **** em...
article has been posted on many sites, just google it.... your thoughts? would anyone be interested in this crossover bout?
do it....... especially vitali, wouldn't wanna see wlad cause he always holds the risk of getting ko'd but vitali would destroy any mma guy in the ring or in the cage, doesn't matter
