Yi Long looked pretty horrible in there with his chin sticking up miles high whenever he threw a punch. His record must be very padded. At least his lack of defense led for a beautiful KO.
Chinese should stick to making kung fu movies. Not too many world class fighters from China, but they do make movies and a lot of them are bad in a funny way, especially the dubbing part. lol
