I didn't watch the whole thing, just the first 2 minutes I think. But the "taller" one reminded me of how fights in Rocky movies usually go; Rocky is given the nickname of having a cast iron jaw because he never blocks but just takes the hits to the chin and tries to move forward. It was fairly painful to watch the smaller guy use the same punch over a dozen times to nail the taller one in the same place over a dozen times...
If you can't hit hard, hit them where they're soft.

Be charitable when listening to people, but always ask questions.

You're right about the Rocky comparison. If you'd looked a bit more, you would've seen the smaller one being hit a few times by the bigger one's knee strikes. Smaller guy goes high, while the bigger guy goes low.
