This was from the 1st World Tournament. The Wing Chun practitioners are in black, they had decided to test their art against a full-contact style back in the 70s. No information currently available on who the two Wing Chun stylists were.
The Kyokushin fighter is Joko Ninomaya, who later on went to form Enshin Karate and the Sabaki Challenge. Joko later commented in his autobiography that the Wing Chun stylists spent too much time on their forms and not enough on practical applications of their techniques.

so we take a guy from a style called wing chun, which has incredibly fast punches, alot of which are directed at the head, we put him in a style of combat which forbids him to use those head punches, against a guy who is trained to compete under those conditions. he loses, now lets do the same thing again except this time lets make it a set of rules which gives the wing chun practitioner the edge. i love kyokushin, but if you fight under rules you arent accustomed to, you often lose more easily
that fighter was the worst wing chun fighter ive ever seen and ive been all over you tube and seen some real amatures. no head strikes. no kicks of any kind and he also has no skill. of course he lost.
I also feel the same way. I've been casually researching martial arts and how effective they are but I am so dissapoint.
I do, however, find it fascinating how much pride is at stake for these men. They not only fight for themselves but for the honor of their style. I guess?
I think at a point a style does not dictate a winner, but some styles have natural weak points. Wing Chun practicioners, for example, stand with there heads up too high. Exposing the neck, and leaving them susceptible to be pushed backwards. Also, I believe that every unarmed combat style should cross train. With similar arts, and different ones.

Also the reason he didn't punch to the head is because full contact karate (kyokushin) rules forbid it.
