It seems to me that the boxer did his homework and knew that WC works best at close-range and relies heavily on arm contact. That's why he used his footwork and reach advantage to keep the WC guy at bay and play hit and run, which led to a successful knockout.

This highlights that the boxer is more adaptable than the Wing Chun guy dispite the comparitive lack of techniques available to the Boxer.
The ability to Change in accordance with the conditions of the fight, and adapt to the style of the person before you seems to be the one of the main things missing in these matches. Regidity of mind is a major stumbling block ... after all 'No plan survives contact with the enemy'.
