Top boxers vs top kickboxers in k-1 rules

Bothas 'success' needs to be viewed in proper context. Aerts suffered a fluke injury and JLB lost a very close fight because his ego got the better of him and he decided to box. He got worked by low-mid level kickboxers who actually used the tools they had over him.[/QUOTE]

Le Banner also lost because he forfeit the fight due to an elbow injury when it was gonna go into an extra round, Le Banner won two rounds confidently with mainly punches and lost the one due to knockdown forcing it into overtime.

 

I think Le Banner would have destroyed Vitali's legs, he had some really good kicks when he used them. I don't see why Vitali couldn't beat Mighty Mo though.

 

I think Aspinall would do better in Glory than Gane, Volkov could do decent too.

 

Tyson Fury vs Rico Verhoeven
Oleksandr Usyk Vs Levi Rigters
Daniel Dubois vs Jamal Ben Saddik
Anthony Joshua vs Tariq Osaro
Fabio Wardley vs Asdren Gashi

Out of all these I'd pick Rico, Rigters and Gashi to win their fight.

Dubois and Saddik would be interesting, Saddik is a massive puncher and bigger but possibly could get drawn into a punch fest with a much better boxer. Joshua has a decent chance against Tariq too as while Tariq is bigger he can be quite slow and have terrible cardio.

I can definitely see any of those heavyweight boxers beating guys like Murat Aygun or Nabil Khachab (Maybe not Fury as I think he'd be awful in Kickboxing)
