I disagree. The Bernardo KD was one of the most brutal I've ever seen. Not only did he take the kick flush on top of the head, but it was at a downward angle (like a Brazilian kick) and travelling at about a hundred miles an hour. I don't see how its being part of a combo affected it either. If you look at the replays, CC had plenty of time to wind it up for maximum power.
Whether Hunt or Bernardo took the harder kick is irrelevant, anyway. They both took it and stood up again. As did those other fighters I've mentioned (and you can't seriously tell me Amada is high class).
Mo has decked nearly every fighter he's hit with his right. He kayoed HMC who's never even been knocked down before or since, despite fighting Jerome twice. He annihilated Botha. He has one of the most brutal highlight reels in K-1.
CC's MMA fights overshadow his K-1 career. He never had anywhere near as much success with the LHK in K-1 than he did in Pride. Everyone harps on about him knocking down Hunt...
freaking Nakasako did the same!!
Even if you don't want to accept that Mo's overhand is harder than CC's LHK, will you at least accept that they're of equal power?
