Did they have gloves on in the final fight?

I'm happiest...in the saddle.

yes

i train karate, and have been doing so for a good 2 years now. in that time, even in sparring, i have not seen anyone use gloves. we use pads to practise punches and kicks against, but never gloves.

Its obvious you never been in a real fight.

reply

It's obvious? How's that?

reply

lol because if you have, you would know that it hurts like *beep* and your knuckles will almost be broken from a fight like that. :)

Karate or whatever they were doing in Karate Kid didn't require them to throw closed fists, at least not the face (skull).

Mixed Martial Arts is a whole different sport and if you did watch UFC or MMA, you would know that :)

And no, you haven't been in a real fight, you would know that already had you been.

Truth, until gloves were used in MMA there were minimal head strikes. with the gloves you can punch someone in the head without breaking your hand. Karate, when i trained, we never struck at the head (then again i only got to 3rd degree brown, i realize black belt is different).

You can thank john mccain for 4oz gloves in mma

Anyone who has never set foot in a ring slags off gloves. They're from stopping you breaking your hands when punching especially to the head. Its nothing about being a wimp at all. Trust me, hitting with/ being hit by gloves hurts just as much as a bare fist and its worse because you're in for more as the attacker didnt break his hand by not wearing gloves. I've fought with foot protectors and broken my God damn foot before!

i agree the whole fact that they bring out gloves everytime theres a street fight is ridiculous. If i'm at a party and someone wants to fight me i'm not going to say, let me get my UFC gloves first and put on my fighting gear.

They act like its a real MMA fight that is sanctioned and everything thus making the gloves mandated instead of a street fight which is what it really is.

Hell even Rocky took out Tommy Morrison without gloves. They didn't say hold on lets go get our boxing gloves and make it official.

If you notice most of the guys in the movie fighting had been "trained" fighters. When you are doing an MMA fight you would be retarded NOT to wear gloves (street fight or not) and they would realize this fact. Not saying they didn't screw up other stuff in this movie, but that was pretty legit.

Mike Tyson broke his hand in a 1988 Harlem street fight by knocking out another Boxer out with one punch.

And by the way for your info, the first guy to actually use four ounce gloves in the NHB under his own decisionwhen it was bare knuckle was Tank Abbott.

He did it because he was smart enough to know he could knock more dudes out with much less risk of breaking his hand.

Now go tell him to his face that he is a bitch.

In The Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso was fight in a tournament against Johnny Lawrence. Jake and Ryan were fighting out side and slaming each other on to the ground with out padding. There is also the part where Jake was slamed into the hod of a car. Yeah Ryan would make Johnny and Daniel his *****.

reply

Also more fighters have died since the use of gloves than before. Just for the simple fact that the old bare knuckle fighters would avoid hitting each other on the head, as they did more damage to themselves than the one they were fighting.

reply

Hey, even the ancient greek olympians, the first mma fighters in history used gloves, they wrapped their fists with leather strips.

Quite simply fights go on longer with gloves since breaking your hand on someone's head is not uncommon.
