Muaythai vs. Karate

[Tom Yum]

YouTube - Mantis vs. Black Belt

According to the post write-up, the muaythai fighter has K-1 experience. The black belt looks like a full-contact karateka. Not bad, although the muaythai fighter is going pretty easy. This is a black belt test for the karateka. Kind of a mismatch, as the a local karateka isn't going to have the same fight experience as a pro-muaythai fighter.

Muaythai guy starts to rock the karateka when the pace picks up.

K-1 pro...whatever thats supposed to be. Didn't know there were any K-1 pro's in the US.
It's not just kind of a mismatch, it's a complete mismatch. He could have finished him off in the first or second round. Helmet or no helmet. His brains would have been doing backflips in his brainpan had that K-1 pro been using his hands. The karateka wasn't hindered by any kind of cover by his head.

That's not a full-contact karateka. THIS is a full-contact karateka:

...with some full-contact accoustic guitar too. Very nice.
