I thought he was fighting someone, that was just another "World's Strongest Man" event where they kick and beat a 250lb rag doll. They typically run that event just before the keg toss.

Suffice to say...the kicking really threw off the boxer.

Oh yeah, and Pudzianowski is really strong.

Am I the only one that thought he looked TERRIBLE. Obviously he is freakishly strong but he had no technique at all. Those kicks looked terrible, he ran in with his hands down and threw lunging leg kicks. It looks like the guy he fought had never experienced a leg kick before.

I am interested to see if he actually makes an attempt to be a legit fighter or what.

Personally I thought he looked much better than what I was expecting. It was his first fight too. Give the guy a chance, we'll see if he's for real or not soon enough.

The dude carries cars for a living...how much technique can anyone expect in his first fight?

That said, while the fighter he faced clearly wasn't into leg kicks, but one thing is certain...Pudzianowski's legs are stronger than a 100yr oak tree.
