I understand the idea of punching out of it, I just wonder in the clip above why you'd waste the effort when you hands are out of position because of crazy monkey, but you still have striking tools available.

You could.
However, when people are punching, as you well know, they leave openings to their head, thats the nature of punching, you can cover up as well as you like but punching leaves openings.
THough kick counter is an option, if you are looking for a kick you arent seeing the best shot, usually.
The best shot here is the opening where jackson can throw a left hook and the guys chin is completely open. Thats the best counter here.
Its just a question of whats the best counter at any moment. Ideally its a shot to the head and punches allow that more than kicks. You could kick counter and that would be fine IMO but youd have missed that lovely open jaw that you could have punched.
Punching out is better than kick counter most of the time but not always.
Kick counter works better when your opponent likes to punch alot but you are in control of their attacks, a nice parry followed by a low kick. IF you have control over their attack consistently then you can use kick counters to nice effect. Thats the best place for kick counters. IMO.
