Based on what we've seen, I don't see Bone pressing Ip like Frank did.Īs said though, Bone was never truly pushed, so it's difficult to pin down his limits. The fact that he was punking Price was impressive and his triple kick against three professional fighters shows extreme striking power and speed, but Frank is lacking in neither of these and Ip Man is truly insane in skill, regularly making fools of not just professionals, but grandmasters of their art with the utmost ease. I see Bone putting up a great fight, but ultimately I see him losing this. I'll need to rewatch the fight for specifics, might be misremembering.įrank may be Ip's equal, but I'd say he is on par with Cheung, basically the joint second in the series. I really don't know if he could have mounted a proper offence, even if he'd wanted to. Given that Frank's goal was to put Ip down, Ip can be seen as 'winning' the fight in that he got what he wanted out of it, but like I said, it seemed to be taking all that he had to keep Frank at bay. Ip's objective was to last 3 minutes, so he never truly sought to go on the offensive against Frank, but that means he put his all into mounting a total defence and Frank was still pushing him to his limits and breaking down his barriers. Tyson has had previous acting roles in films including The Hangover II, Scary Movie 5, and the upcoming Meet The Blacks.Frank and Ip were perhaps equal, or thereabouts.
