Exactly.

Mike Tyson could still whip both of them at the same time, and he is smaller than either.

For that matter, Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris could beat them senseless emptyhanded.

The smaller guy lacked balance, good, accurate punches, or a plan.

Once he saw that he could not stand up toe to toe, he should have modified his plan and taken him to the ground, if he had grappling skills and the rules permitted. Otherwise, keep flicking the jab, and keep circling, looking for an opening.

Just my .02.
