The look on his face at the end “man why isn’t my power working”

He is realizing the thousands of hours he spent training were wasted. 

He is realizing that every student he ever charged for a lesson was duped. 

He is realizing that he has given all those students false hope in their ability to defend themselves with this mystical tom-foolery.

He is realizing that he is going to be washing dishes at a local Ramen shop now that his career just imploded.

Obviously because his hands are wrapped and his power is limited 😉

I would watch a whole series of these. The highlight could be Steven Seagal vs Some Guy Who Can Box.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Mike Tyson.

How does this even happen? Mental illness?

It gets worse. I remember a Chinese MMA calling bullshit on all of this and beating the crap out of boomers claiming magical fighting tai chi powers like this boxer. Then the CCP starts re-educating him because he’s making Chinese culture look bad.

I hope the Chinese boxer stays safe.

If you’re talking about Xu Xiaodong, he set this fight up.

u/aesthetique1 Monkey in Space 13d ago

Came in the mention this. From memory they basically ruined his life. Was a fucked up story

u/DregsRoyale Monkey in Space 14d ago

I think if he continued to believe it would be mental illness. Seems like his whole worldview hadn't previously been tested

u/ConsciousHoney8909 Monkey in Space 14d ago

I think so.

His skills only work against professionals

u/Fun-Relative3058 Monkey in Space 13d ago

TaiChi isn’t bullshit but the gloves he’s wearing are too thick and stopped his powers from working

u/whoberman Monkey in Space 14d ago

Had him wobbled like Tyson Fury in the 9th round!

What a fight! Can't wait to watch the re-match.

ps. Usyk looked like a middle schooler fighting a high schooler. (37 lb weight difference and supposedly only a 3" height difference but it looked like more than that in the ring!)

u/sc00pb Monkey in Space 14d ago

He was questioning his life choices and philosophy...

u/BigShoots 14d ago

Imagine if that plug he was in there with was actually Mike Tyson.

The fight would have ended in three seconds with Mike crying over his dead body.

“Hey wait, no what you doing? You’re meant to just rest your hand against mine and let me pu… wtf bro why you hitting me”

Everyone has a martial art until you get punched in the face.

u/DesperateComb7326 Monkey in Space 13d ago

People really believe in this type of martial art are fools

u/Captain_Pink_Pants Monkey in Space 13d ago

TFW you show up at the gym only to realize you left your qi in your other bag...

u/AccurateCampaign4900 Monkey in Space 12d ago

It's a lot harder to defend when your opponent isn't moving in slow motion

u/Possible-Campaign468 Monkey in Space 11d ago

Should've used the other hand,maybe it had the power he speaks of,I'm just guessing

u/mvstateU Monkey in Space 14d ago

This isn't the real Master Gu. He's likely kidnapped.

No offense to Ali, but Tyson is the absolute GOAT. Everybody uses him as a reference when wanting to prove how tough they are.

It’s like comparing apples and grapefruit, depends on the circumstance. I have yet to see an athlete from any sport other than boxing who fared well against a seasoned veteran in a boxing match, put two athletes on the street, gloves off, who knows.
