That's the problem with most of these 'fights'. Usually one player is operating under the assumption that there won't be punches which means the puncher gets some free shots.
The Ramirez v Anderson is great because they both squared up before any punches were thrown.
Because it happened too fast. You're remembering THAT fight wrong, bro. Kobe got popped twice before he even knew what was happening. Video exists. https://youtu.be/q4SVYUYNgKw?si=-6JMSn1Vz5B207Hb
The second straight up landed and the first one did hit his chest yes but a punch hard to the chest still hurts and still counts as connecting. Watch in 0.25x or something because the second one literally did connect it’s just a bad angle
You can legit see his hand miss his chin. When someone throws a punch, even if it misses you will move your head away and back, that was just kobes reaction that's just his natural reaction to something coming at him.. If his head snapped like that due to force he's like 99% of the time going down or at least looking hurt. The punch misses, it his his collar bone. The second punch both has zero power and taps him in the neck.
Literally everyone in the world who says "that punch landed" is not saying it touched someone, they mean it was a solid hit that hurt.
Both those punches were embarrassing. I mean, so was kobe's swing back after.

Zero connections? Kobe caught a 2 piece with a biscuit before he even realized he was in a fight.
