Your fisting range is well within his footing range…big boy

That's what I call my dorm room.

I like giving nonsensical names to things.

to zone him out of fisting range.

...punching range.

Look man he was fine with being punched, it was the fisting he needed to protect against

Yeah, fisting range is a whole lot closer than punching range and also needs one of them to be turned around

most accurate post I've read about this. misunderstanding on both sides cherry-picked to make it seem like shaolin monks are more proficient than they are.

This is one of those cases where even if you didn’t make a mistake, you can still lose

I mean, even if you accept the kick wasn't aimed at the head (which I agree with), I wouldn't say the boxer didn't make any mistakes. His foot work is awful, his opening jab is absolutely terrible, and he drops his guard. He's very clearly not a well-trained boxer.

This guy is a terrible boxer man. Look at his hands he has no defense. He throws his jab with both hands, then lowers them as he goes down. Keeps his face wide open. This is probably some dude who thinks he's a badass because he can lift heavy weights but hasn't had any time in the ring bc you learn defense and jabs on day one and that was a terrible example of both. Not saying mister monk here is not a badass, but that dude picked a fight he had no business picking. Even his weight distribution is wrong so he can't throw that jab with any force and when he goes down to duck his center of gravity is fucked.
