Thunderlips is a wrestler, Drago might be able to keep him away for a period but once Lips closes the gap its over for Drago, grappler > striker any day
didn't kill Rocky, also those punching machines aren't accurate, thats a guy punching a standing target under optimal conditions, humans move, you can achieve that same kind of hit on a moving target.. as Chun Lee said in Bloodsport: "brick dont hit back"
