    I wonder if his leg being broken has anything to do with him boxing instead of kickboxing?

    Well the guy he beat was 7-35, so keep that in mind lol

    On the other hand, Vitali Klitschko was also a kick boxer before he became a full time boxer, so who knows

    If you were a world level kickboxer you shouldn't start out against such a can imo. He was quite big but like Badbot mentioned already, the guy can't even punch right. Not to mention the way he went back to his guard after.

    I guess he should try to move up in competition fast, and then take on a proper diet of capable journeymen to see how it goes and polish his technique. Not that I believe much will come of it, because even if he's a capable boxer he might get discouraged by the early louzy paydays in comparison with his kickboxing career.

    Spong had his first kicboxing match below 70kg and today he fights at 95. regarding his chin, if he can bang with K1 heavys, i say he has a decent one. he is an impressive athlete.

    Why bring him up?
    that's only a 12lb difference with 147, as supposed to a 55lb difference in Spong's case. :conf
