Good vid.

I love watching style matchups.

Reminds of street fighter, and I lost it laughing when they showed M. Bison watching from the railings at the 1min mark.

They're not novice, they look like experienced boxers. The novice are the karate guys because they have white belts.

The karate guys fought bare knuckle, so the boxers should have too. It's easy to throw full power head punches when your hands are protected.

Not to mention that the last boxer was even wearing headgear while the karateka were not.

Taekwondo is the worst martial art ever created.
Karate is useless unless you mix it with a few other martial arts.

there are advantages and disadvantages to wearing gloves as oposed to fighting bare knuckled. imo no gloves is a clear advantage but more importantly they chose to fight the way they did so dont use it as an excuse.

looking at those fights do you think it would have made a diffrence? you think those karate guys who clearly had no clue how to throw a proper punch or fight in general would stand a chance simply by wearing gloves so they could punch with full force?

c'mon man, those guys were clowns. in fact it seems to me 90% of the time you see a karate/taekwondo style "fighter" get punched in the face they act like its the first time and quit.

They looked more experienced in their sport than the karate guys were.

And eastern euros mostly stick to the basics when they fight.

Well, I don't know if you have ever sparred or not but try throwing a boxing combination at someone's head. Without gloves.

Then try it with gloves. See if you notice a difference.

in conclusion, boxing is amazing at the novice levels. Excellent.
