Other small players don't fall down as much because they aren't competing as hard. I think it's as simple as that. It doesn't matter who he is up against, he's going to battle and more often than not, he is way out matched in terms of size.

I totally agree with this assessment. For Mange, it seems like his legs are constantly moving, so it probably takes a lot of energy for him to be in constant motion like that. Plus, with his lack of size, it's inevitable he's going to sometimes be bouncing off other bigger guys he's checking.
