    Awesome video, been so much discussion over this, yet I never seen it before. Great, great find.


    That being said. Its is completely irrelevent to any 'chin' discussion, given the chin Vitali went on to display his entire pro career.

    Anyone can get knocked out by a roundhouse kick to the chin. That it happened is rather meaningless when evaluating Vitalis chin.

    I actually think its more of a negative mark on Vitali for him getting caught with the kick, then for him understandably getting leveled by it.

    However, it is no doubt a great find and interesting view.....

    Great knockout by the black sniper!

    Must admit I never knew if it was real or a hoax like aids being invented by the CIA.

    It could have been worse mind if it had been Lennox Lewis in there instead of Vitali there'd have been a murder that night.

    David Haye planned to do that to Wlad, it was going to plan until he hurt that bloody toe.

    That Vitali says that he "forgot about the KO", because it happened such a long time ago is a bit on the weak side (especially if something does not happen very often, you should remember it very well - except for the date of marriage :D). However, it does not take anything away from what he has accomplished as a boxer and does not say anything about the sturdiness of his chin as a heavyweight.

    He wasn't knocked out, he sat up fully right away and they took off his headgear and stuff off as a precaution. they don't have standing 8 counts in stuff like this, if this was K-1 he would have gotten up and likely beaten the count.

    Some people must lead pretty sad lives if they rejoice about a 21 year old guy getting knocked out as a kick boxer.

    I'm not saying he didn't deny it happening as I haven't heard that before, but if he did, can anyone provide hard evidence of this?
