most (not all) kickboxers rely on the gloves for defense and don’t focus on head movement or defensive footwork as far as I can tell. That’s why they are easy to hit when they have small gloves in MMA, gloves makes a big difference but when you add the lack of defense it’s even worse. At least boxer practice head movement and footwork so they can theoretically handle the smaller gloves better but obviously there’s a lot of factors.The opponent was too scared to fight. Tyrone was so open, that a better opponent would have taken advantage of him. Kickboxing looks like it doesn't have good defense, especially in the context of MMA.
