Street fighting in Eastern Europe is akin to bare knuckle gypsy fighting in the UK. It seems to be a big part of their culture and a way to settle disputes or sometimes just to see who the toughest guy in town is. Note: mixedmartialarts.com does not condone unsanctioned street fighting.

The guys in this video shake hands at the beginning, so it appears they at least have some level of respect for each other and it won’t go too far. At least at first.

After the initial exchanges you can tell right away who the better fighter is already. The guy with the tank top and the wrapped hands (another giveaway) is much more relaxed, has better movement, a better sense of distance, and his punching technique is crisper and much more accurate.

His opponent in the black t-shirt on the other hand is much more amateurish in his approach. He is just blinding charging in with sloppy punches in a very predictable manner.

He is moving in a straight line forward instead of side to side with his chin way up in the air nonetheless and he ends up eating a couple solid left hands to his face right off the bat. They make some noise and look like they hurt.

Now instead of realizing this is not the correct way to do things and changing up his strategy he continues to flail at his opponent, not landing one significant strike. Eventually he eats another big left hand at the thirty second mark that hurts him bad this time and puts him down.

His opponent, clearly the much superior fighter with nothing more to prove, shows his complete lack of class by soccer kicking his outmatched and hurt opponent twice which is just not cool. He won the fight but that is a loser mentality to have.
