Vitali Klitschko coming to K-1?
March 29, 2007 by nopstar
More K-1 rumors flying, a few weeks ago I posted some news that K-1 was looking to recruit Marius Pudzianowski. I thought it this was typical K-1 sideshow type shit. This week I came across another rumor, however this time it actually sounds viable. I didn’t know this but the retired heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko had a kick boxing background. I’ve found an old youtube clip of him fighting.
I’m honestly think he would do fairly well. You’ve got Mighty Mo who’s based his entire career around his hands. I don’t think there is really any doubt about Klitschko’s boxing abilities; and at 6’5″ he’s nearly as tall as Schilt.
What do you guys think?
Yeah, I also think he would do well. He is a smart guy and would learn fairly quickly how to block leg kicks. Shit, if Bob Sapp can beat Hoost, then….
I also agree on the fact that he is a reasonably smart heavyweight, and he’d work K-1 out fairly quickly. And we all know that he possibly can’t ridicule himself as bad as Akebono and Bob Sapp.
I don’t think it will happen. The payday he would get would not even be close to what he could get in boxing. He could and would do well.
