You gotta have better than decent TDD. Wrestling is Karate's kryptonite more than anything. But yeah, if you're able to neutralize the grappling advantage, then it's obvious that you'd have the striking advantage. That's why guys are working so hard on their TDD. But the point karate style does have the advantage of distance management. So it's not just decent TDD, it's above average TDD, good footwork, and good distance management. Karate doesn't have those things naturally built in. Not all boxers box the same. Not all karate guys fight the same.
