    a 6'5'' 260# mma champion....personally, I wouldn't care for the fight...I think Overeem may be taking a page out of Haye's business manual....just curious if there are any opinions from fans of both mma and boxing...I don't know **** about mma, so I asked

    Who in the hell is Klitschko? Does he box? cannot be any worse than the bums currently in the heavweight division! the curent champ fights and his fans talk for months about him on the boxing boards. You get all these crazy questions like is he the GOAT? or is he the hardest puncher ever? or he would beat ALI, Louis, Lewis and every other heavy that ever existed on the same night at the same time. His basic 1-2 makes him a "master boxer". Next thing you know they will claim that he could beat any man in any sport, even MMA at their own rules. Man I wish these guys would give it a break, so we can talk about REAL boxing instead of that heavyweight sh!t

    Well, it's my understanding that most of these MMA fighters have glass jaws, so I'm sure Vitali would knock this guy out cold!

    While there are laudable examples of manly mandibular fortitude in MMA, you are indeed right, most are Glass Jawed Jokes.

    A bit shaky, He's got tight defence though. At least in kickboxing.

    mma fighters lose the chin faster because the head can only take so many kicks, and overall the fights are more competitve than in boxing

    plus reem's chin is gone, a long time ago

    nonetheless, the fight might be interesting while it lasts - reem is agressive and will force Vitali to backpedal, but he won't get past Vitalis jab

    Grade AAA china. He's been KTFOed six times in MMA and three in kickboxing so you know that mandible is mush.

    Our MMA Chinchecker has informed me he's a Glass Jawed joke. Just like most of those MMA street fighters.:lol:

    Autoexcuses.The chin suffers much more in boxing than in any other sport.Is just that in boxing you cant go far with chinna chins; and that is one reason for that guys for do it in MMA and not in the best payed and recognized combat sport in the world.

    And what's remarkable is that only in MMA can a guy that's been KOed nine times not even crack my Top 10 Glass Jaws list because the field is so deep!:rofl

    It would be interesting to see them meet in K-1. 5x3m rounds. Vitali would probably still thrash him.
