In this video, both boxers seem to be very young and not trained to the full capacity yet. The fighter in red is visibly moving around the ring more, switching stances and trying to land heavy shots. On the other hand, the boxer wearing blue seems more defensive and even has a high guard up at some points during the ‘fight’.

After a by-the-ropes exchange, the fighter in red first moves away then tries to re-enter the pocket. He did so by first throwing a left jab first, then landed a heavy right cross punch right in the middle of his opponent’s face.

 

By this point, the boxer in blue was out cold. As he was about to collapse on the canvas, the red fighter even attempted a third hook shot to the back of his opponent’s head.
