With highest respect to fighters: This fight is an example of the limits of sport Karate, when a taller person with longer limbs is at an advantage, and Mr. Best made best use of it. Theoretically, Mr. Kagawa, might have won by exercising more patience , and used altitude and walked through Mr. Best as on a cascade, first using legs and then hands. Best regards to both sides.

I was training with Sensei George Best today!
Máster kagawa he's one of the best shotokan fighters but I think this time got his ass kicked!
Ronindanielsimons Simpson honestly i agree, i train with george and he can pretty much still do everything he does in this video
He sure can take a hell of a head kick and keep going. Most would have bitched out after that shot. True bushido spirit right there
What were the categories like in those years? Does George look much like twice his opponent?
The bully Kagawa gets it brill. Oss
Great kumite ! Oss 🥋

cool
The George guy looks pretty stiff, can't see the technique at all. Good reflexes though!
kagawa
Куда же делись базовые удары,в кумитэ обычное махание никакой техники. Каратэ это гимнастика не более.
