Netizens have been comparing the two fights, with some noting the lack of agility among the Shimla vendors compared to the acrobatic moves seen in Baghpat. Others have pointed out differences in the utilization of the fighting space and the timing of police intervention. A user wrote, "Can't compare it with Baghpat Chat yudh because, 1. Lack of agility amongst wrestlers. 2. Area is not utilised properly. 3. Police intervened pretty early . 4. It was more of a defensive battle where both the parties tried not to escalate while BCY was all guns blazing." Another user wrote, "The battle of baghpat had more acrobatic moves." A third added, "Nothing comes close to the Battle of Baghpath."
