He took out the best fighters the prison had to offer. Even the lowliest prison fighter he fought showed far more skill than those mercenaries of Bane. Actually, even the lowliest prison fighter in the movies showed better skill than Bane himself.
Right now I'm thinking that you probably didn't watch the Undisputed movies and just based your opinions on youtube highlights. Because if you watched it, you'll know that Boyka was beating Chambers in their first match once he fully utilized his kicks and grappling. It was cut short due to the drugs, but he was dominating the 2nd half of that fight before it was stopped.
Ofcourse then later on he was beat by a quickly trained Chambers, which is about as stupid as Batman beating Bane despite just doing pushups and situps in the pit.
Then we have Undisputed 3, where Boyka beats the best champion fighters from all over the world.
SO in reality, it's Bane that only went up against ONE skilled opponent which is Batman. Everyone else he beat up showed no skill at all. And the single skilled person he went up against ended up being able to defeat him in the end.
Because losing to Catwoman makes them weak?
I said supposedly. Even if they weren't trained there were still groups of them that were armed with guns. Boyka doesn't have a feat like that. Which means Batman is still better based on feats.
You are just judging based on what you thought looked better which you shouldn't do imo. Cause one is obviously a fighter turned actor, while the other is obviously an actor who is doing their best to portray fighting. Visually it just won't compare cause the 'REAL WORLD' skill levels are different.
You gotta look at it in context.
Bane has legit Superhuman strength feats. He is also fast enough to catch a fist thrown by Batman, who himself takes out groups of armed men. He also was able to injure and defeat a Batman who was fully armored. He can take out three armed people before they can do anything.
Boyka took on prison fighters, even if they showed a lot of skill that's what they are, one on one most times. He definitely didn't take on any groups of armed men, and if he could he probably wouldn't have been in prison at all. He lost to the world heavyweight champion in boxing after said boxer went through very little grappling and submission training.
Bane was only beaten after Batman exploited a weakness, which as far we know Boyka can not duplicate. Why can he not duplicate it because Batman was throwing his hardest punches into the mask but in the end he could only break it when one of his arm blades snagged on it. Last time I checked Boyka won't hit harder than an armored Batman and he definitely doesn't have any weapons for this fight to duplicate what it took Batman's arm blades to do.
You look at the Batman movies and because you see actors trying to portray fighters you think the characters themselves are garbage fighters, and look at the Undisputed films and you see fighters being actors and assume they are better cause they look faster, and look more skilled. But the feats show different things. Boyka doesn't have the feats to compete against Bane.
