Battle Can Brock Samson (The Venture Bros.) actually defeat Red Death (The Venture Bros.)?

In the 2023 Direct-to-video film The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and Shoreleave witness a verbal scuffle between Red Death and Brock, and take bets on who would win. Shoreleave bets twenty dollars on Brock. Brock himself is also fairly confident he can defeat the supervillain.

Can Brock actually defeat Red Death? Be it killing him, making him surrender, or just knocking him out?

I mean. He took him off his horse and into the pool of the building that one time? I think he hits enough above his weightclass to be able to lay Red Death out if he needed to

So the whole joke of red death’s character is that he’s terrifying as shit and has survived being in the game for decades. His reputation is so fearsome that 21 is willing to outright refuse going after him unless pressed by monarch. And I should point out that if I remember right 21 was capable of throwing hands with Brock for a bit at that point.

since I don’t recall if red death’s has any combat feats I’m just going to base this off the vibe of the show. The fight would look a little like absolute Batman vs Absolute bane. Brock would be pulling every skill and technique he’s learned that would be casually side stepped by red who would be saying terrifyingly wholesome stuff like this.

*Brock uses an advanced knife technique that red backhands.

”Hey I remember that move! That was created by an old enemy of mine, agent John Doe of the OSI. Good Fight and an even better man he was! Too bad he wasn’t good enough to save himself from me with it. He had an absolutely lovely funeral I was invited to. Very surprising they allowed an open casket funeral considering how the fight ended. Actually I got photos would you like to see it?

Red would just keep that up for a bit until Brock starts losing his nerve and eventually passes out from exhaustion or he finds an excuse to leave and protect his ego by saying he needs to drive one of the boys somewhere and the time snuck up on him.

Red Death is respected for his villainous showmanship, work ethic, and enriching personal life. However the dude is old as shit and hasn't really been shown or even implied to have impressive physicals.

Meanwhile Brock is Brock. As long as he's not in one of his depressive recovery phases he should win handily. Won't be a stomp but it wouldn't even be close to Brock's toughest fights.
