Tonfa is a sh*t-@$$ weapon. I've trained with it in my many years of martial arts experience, and it's a movie wonder. Like nunchucks, it's flashy without substance. It's good defensively, but doesn't offer much else.
Anyways, on to this fight. Ting is hardcore, and Ong-Bak is one of my favorite modern day martial arts flicks. Tony Jaa makes Muay Thai look flashy and awesome, something I never thought could be done. I'd definitely give Ting the skill edge compared to movie Cap. However, I do not think his herb will put him at Cap's level. I mean, if steroids put that guy Ting fought near Cap's level...well what the hell would Cap need a super-soldier serum for? The herb will help, but it won't put him quite at Cap's physical level.
The main difference maker is the weapons. In straight hand to hand, I think I'd give Ting a slight edge. But Cap's shield is just as effective offensively as defensively. Ting's tonfa, unfortunately, does not have the same versatility. I also don't think Ting would expect the rebounds from the shield, and that Cap is capable of such a feat. Ting would think he's dodged the shield and it ricochets off the wall and catches him from behind, giving Cap an opening. With weapons, I give Cap a slim majority, without, Ting gets a slim majority. They are both fairly balanced and could put the other down so it's hard to favor one heavily over the other.
