Correct, but he made it pretty clear that he remembered all of his combat training.

Evenly matched? You call Karate Kid having tattered clothing with a few bruises versus Batman getting his belt taken and a hernia an even match?
I didn't say it was a stalemate, did I?
I said they fought on equal footing for a few pages with Karate Kid ending up being shocked.
Karate Kid didn't just have a few bruises, his face was bloodied up pretty badly. And the hernia didn't seem to faze Batman at all. It wasn't even the reason he shifted his stance.
So yeah, I don't think it's too far-fetched saying they fought pretty evenly for three pages before Karate Kid was electrocuted.
And I'm not saying Batman is as good of a fighter as Val is. KK is on another level, however it was a pretty good showing for Bruce.

Well sure it was. Good enough that is.The controversy was more due to people expecting KK to be at pre crisis levels. Wich is unlikely.
The problem was they weren't on equal footing.
Batman landed hits on the humanly fast Karate Kid. Nothing to brag about if you're as skilled as Batman is thought to be.
Karate Kid took Batman's belt mid-battle (let's make a list of human fighters that have done this) and did actual damage to him while actually downtalking the hell out of Bruce like he was a chump (clearly the off panel fight was going well into his favor).
I think people went into the fight thinking KK had super speed or something.
