REMEMBER - ABHIMANYU WAS ATTACKED FROM ALL SIDES INSIDE CHAKRAVYUHU WHILE KARNA HAD BACK UP SUPPORT OF HUGE KAURAVA FORCE BUT STILL KARNA FLED THE BATTLEFIELD!!
KARNA FOUGHT A SINGLE 'ABHIMANYU' (THAT TOO WITH SUPPORT OF HUGE KAURAVA ARMY) & WAS DEFEATED BADLY WHILE ABHIMANYU FOUGHT SINGLE HANDEDLY 'THOUSAND MAHARATHIS,RATHIS & LAKHS OF FOOT SOLDIERS & INFANTRY DIVISIONS' INSIDE CHAKRAVYUHU WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT & DEFEATED THEM ALL!!

Defeat # 1:
Narrative:
Then Abhimanyu, excessively pierced by those great bowmen with their straight shafts, shot shafts at Karna which was capable of piercing through every armour and body. That shaft, piercing through Karna's coat of mail and then his body, entered the earth like a snake piercing through an anthill. Deeply pierced, Karna felt great pain and became perfectly helpless. Indeed, Karna began to tremble in that battle like a hill during an earthquake.
http://Defeat # 2:
NARRATIVE:
Karna, O monarch, was filled with pain. Meanwhile, the son of Subhadra, causing Karna by means of his arrows to turn away from the field, quickly rushed against the other great bowmen. Then Abhimanyu of fierce energy and great fame, filled with wrath, broke that host of diverse forces abounding with elephants and steeds and cars and infantry. As regards Karna, afflicted by Abhimanyu with countless shafts, he fled away from the field borne by swift steeds.
http://Defeat # 3:
Narrative:
"Sanjaya said, 'Phalguni's son once more pierced Karna in the car with a barbed arrow, and for angering him still further, he pierced him with fifty other shafts. The son of Radha pierced Abhimanyu in return with as many shafts. Covered all over with arrows, Abhimanyu, then, O sire, looked exceedingly beautiful. Filled with rage, he caused Karna also to be bathed in blood. Mangled with arrows and covered with blood, the brave Karna also shone greatly. 2 Both of them pierced with arrows, both bathed in blood, those illustrious warriors then resembled a couple of flowering Kinsukas. The son of Subhadra then slew six of Karna's brave counsellors, conversant with all modes of warfare, with their steeds and charioteers and cars.

KARNA DEFEATED & FRIEGHTENED BY ABHIMANYU IN CHAKRAVYUHU:
Narrative:
Hearing these words, Karna, afflicted with the shafts of Arjuna's son, once more said unto Drona, 'Exceedingly afflicted with the shafts of Abhimanyu, I am staying in battle, only because (as a warrior) I should stay here. Indeed, the arrows of this south of great energy are exceedingly fierce. Terrible as they are and possessed of the energy of fire, these arrows are weakening my heart.'
http://Defeat # 5:
Abhimanyu defeat Karna & Karna was unable to save his younger brother from being slained by Abhimanyu in front of his eyes!
Narrative:
"Sanjaya said, 'Then the younger brother of Karna, uttering loud roars, bow in hand, and repeatedly stretching the bow-string, quickly placed himself between those two illustrious warriors. And Karna's brother, with ten shafts, pierced invincible Abhimanyu and his umbrella and standard and charioteer and steeds, smiling the while. Beholding Abhimanyu thus afflicted with those arrows, although he had achieved those superhuman feats in the manner of his sire and grandsire, the warriors of thy army were filled with delight. Then Abhimanyu, forcibly bending the bow and smiling the while, with one winged arrow cut off his antagonist's head. That head, severed from the trunk, fell down on the earth. Beholding his brother slain and overthrown, like a Karnikara tree shaken and thrown down by the wind from the mountain top, Karna, O monarch, was filled with pain. Meanwhile, the son of Subhadra, causing Karna by means of his arrows to turn away from the field, quickly rushed against the other great bowmen. Then Abhimanyu of fierce energy and great fame, filled with wrath, broke that host of diverse forces abounding with elephants and steeds and cars and infantry. As regards Karna, afflicted by Abhimanyu with countless shafts, he fled away from the field borne by swift steeds.
http://Abhimanyu defeated Karna despite lacking these impact factors:
-Abhimanyu neither has any mighty bow like gandiva of arjuna nor like vijaya dhanush of karna!
-Abhimanyu never undertook any extensive military & archery training from greatest gurus of archery like Parshurama,Drona,Rishi Bharadwaj!
-Abhimanyu didnt posses any formidable divyastras like
Brahmastra,bhargavastra,na
Astra,vaishnavastra,brahma
-Abhimanyu neither has any military battle expertise nor any military
Strategy as he was just 16 years old as compared to other great archers who were much older & has undergone more training than Abhimanyu!
-Abhimanyu also didnt has any formidable charioteers like krishna or shalya!
Despite lacking all these impact factors described above,Abhimanyu managed to defeat entire kaurava commanders like Karna,drona,ashwathama,dus
huge portion of akshouhini of Kaurava army to such an extent that Drona & Duryodhan had to command all kaurava commanders to fight together & simultaneously with Abhimanyu!Abhimanyu preferred dying a tragic but a 'hero's death' at the Hands of coward kauravas with dronacharya even claiming Abhimanyu equal to his father Arjuna in prowess!
TRUTH IS CLEAR AS WATER !!
KARNA WAS NOT EVEN ABLE TO DEFEAT A KID...
THE KID DEFEATED HIM !!!
