Rogers has the skill edge, but Bishop can absorb the kinetic energy of Steve's blows.
I'd say if Steve fights smart, he should be able to choke Bishop out for a 10-count.
So slight majority to Captain American.

How is Bishop's power working, exactly?
Always thought it was just the energy absorption. I mean, he's nowhere near Sebastian Shaw or even Strong Guy levels in absorbing punches and stuff.

Steve beats him down to the point that he makes Bishop look like a rookie IMO.

Wouldn't choking someone still be putting out some energy? After all you are applying force via squeezing.

But his powers are turned off in this fight. It's strictly H2H.

Actually, golem never said they are turned off.
And Bishop is not Shaw anyway...

I don't know why you think his powers are turned off. You might be able to make a case he doesn't absorb kinetic energy like someone said.

Cap fought the Aquarian, who has a (very powerful) Null Field. He disabled him with an aikido hold that didnt expend energy. He could do the same to Bishop.

Yeah, I was about to mention that.
Thing is... he doesn't really have to.

^^^Powers on, Cap has fought and beaten worse. Powers off, Bishop us out classed. How does he stomp in YO?

Bishop can't absorb kinetic energy.
If he can then they've been crazy inconsistent with it, since he's gotten his ass kicked many, many times.

Exactly.
It's sad when KMCers just google characters for basic info about their powersets and nothing more.

Bishop holds every single advantage in this fight (with powers on) and he's also an amazing fighter. Hell, he sparred better against Wolverine than any top tier Martial artist I've seen.
