as for why

[güey]

Could you please tell me if "as for why" is being used correctly in this sentence? I believe it was meant to be "that's why".

While it's certainly true that a person utilizing the fisticuff stance would be in trouble in a modern day boxing match, a modern boxer would likely be in just as much trouble sparring off against a pugilistic champ from the Golden Age of boxing, if they boxed by the rules of the period. As for why most pertinent here is the fact that neither boxer would be wearing gloves in such a classic match.


Also, later, at 3:25, he says Daniel Mendoza is the fighter credited with this pose as prior to his fight career.
That's another confusing usage of "as" for me.

You need a comma after "why" there, thus: "As for why ...."

The other one doesn't make sense to me.

"as for" mean'"concerning".

There is no full stop after 'career' Context tells us that 'as' means 'because' in this sentence.

Am I right that as for why in this sentence means "as for the reason why that is the case" (as for the reason why a modern boxer would likely be in just as much trouble sparring off against a pugilistic champ from the Golden Age of boxing, if they boxed by the rules of the period)?

There is no full stop after 'career' Context tells us that 'as' means 'because' in this sentence.

His intonation misled me, I took it as a complete sentence.

Yes, that is right.
