Won the fight, lost the "style."
WC people really need to close immediately, as boxing punches have more range and, with more leg-body torque, more power. Moreover, boxing is generally more mobile in both footwork and bobbing terms. Unless the WC man gets in and bridges immediately to the point where he can dominate the centerline, chances are, things will go against him.
One of my old sparring partners in London was big into WC and Arnis, but in the UK had been doing much more Arnis, which included a boxing component. He was telling me how when one of his seniors came over from the Continent and they did WC, the guy slapped him around big time. When they sparred, and my boy started using more footwork, bobbing and weaving and jab-cross-hook, things evened out immediately.
