Not that I could play seriosly as for some reason OB2D skip lags a lot these days. Might be related to server, might be transatlantic connections etc.

Anyway HTF and I had a match. Neither of us play actively anymore so it was a fair setting. He sent me a challenge and I accepted. Since it was HTF I decided to take it seriously and not mess around.

Here is the match: http://onlineboxing.net/applet/index.jsp?fight_id=771792

and here is the play by play and explanation of strategy:


Round 1: HTF came out aggressively, which took me by a surprise. 10-8 round to him.

Round 2: I decided that if that is really the way he wants to box against me I will return him the favor. 8-10 round to me.

Round 3: Having had success in round 2 with more aggressive strategy I made a strategic call to really check his defense. My goal was to force KO him. His defense proved to be too good and I noticed that I might lose too much stamina so towards the end I slowed down. 7-10 round to me.

Round 4: I started with less stamina than HTF, which made me bit worried but since my strategy was working well I decided to slow downlittle bit but still keep the heat on. I started out well but then he got "inside" of my timing and managed to land a couple good ones. Since I started out well I did not want to give him this round and went for my own moves. He kept landing solid so it was a toss up.

Round 5: I decided to go forwards and managed to corner him but he did the rope a dope. Now from experience I knew he is very good at that and did not really like what is going on in the ring. I started to pay attention to his main power punch combination he relies on.

Round 6: HTF falls back for counter punching. He is very good at that and I knew I am in bit of a trouble unless I get inside of his timing. He was also losing the stamina war and I did not want him to recover his stamina. His point boxing and counter puching stamina saving strategy killed me in this round.

Round 7: Round starts and I am determined to unriddle his point box counter style. I go forward and start the work towards figuring it out. Basically what I do is try lot of different moves and combinations. My mistake was staying too stationary and not controlling the distance enough. Well HTF controlled the distance, which allowed him to land more and better quality. I lost my stamina advantage and knew that I am only leading by 1 point. Total socre is now 64 - 65 to me.

Round 8: Round starts with both having quite even stamina. HTF goes for rope a dope while I am still trying to figure it out. I get hit bad and fall back which forces him to follow. He tries to go for the KO but finds it hard to land in a decisive combo. Close but no cigar. HTF gets good points but it costs him quite a lot of stamine

Round 9: Round starts and I just decided that if he wants to back up for the rope a dope he can do that but I do NOT have to follow him. I stay at the middle and we box a little. By now I am aware of his powerpunch combo, respect his power and get an idea how to counter that rope a dope. I decide to go in to see if this idea works. I work with patience and am extra careful for his power punch combo. I am both landing more and landing more quality punches, which leads to 9-10 round to me and total score is now 83 - 82.

Round 10: HTF comes out with different strategy since his rope a dope got coutered in round 9. He uses the so called "Edder defense" couple of times. I know that defense well and decide just to bulldoze forwards and manage to get him. Since it is round 10, I am leading the stamina war and it is beginning to be hard to recover I decide to return the favor and go for the kill. Close but no cigar. I get good points but it costs me quite a lot of stamina.

Round 11: This is the round that is THE so called "winning round". Trying to KO/TKO HTF in round 10 cost me a lot of stamina but it almost does not matter since I am leading. I start the round with a goal of flooring him once in my mind. I wanted to floor him once, which would have enable me to just ride out and chill rest of the remaining rounds for point victory. I go in strong and find that to be a horrible decision especially against elite fighter like HTF. I get tagged and then tagged more and find out that I can not recover "health" to fight back.

Round 12: Well all bets are off. Round 11 destroyed my strategy and now. I know it has to be perfecly even steven. Nothing left to do than to go and box him. I manage to win the round but notice that both of us have most of our stamina gone, which means we both are in position of not being able to recover from getting really hurt.

Round 13: Round starts with my body being hurt. I figure that I am leading in points but also think that whoever lands first strong combo will win via TKO or KO and start planning landing my own first. Well HTF manages to land a power shot into my head which puts me in position of having both head and body hurt and me having to defend. I try to buy time by defending carefully while timing for a strong counter punch. HTF is not falling for it and backs up a little. Then he comes forwards using careful timing and care. Since even a jab counts for a lot now he can afford to really pick me apart. There is no recovering even from weakest punches. I try to fish for counter but am forced just to defend like a turtle. HTF is careful and just too skilled to mess up in a situation like this. Too little stamina for recovery and too much time reminding in the round. He knows it and takes the win.

Well it was, but at least you understand that you were a dumb optimistic twat. One thing at a time. Let's not rush the learning process, eh?

"I get respect from the guys that I respect."

Perhaps you should have written "CREDIT TO PAUL DION. HIS IDEA. HIS FORMAT." in big bold writing at the start of the main post. Maybe then you wouldn't be 'getting tired of this'. You didn't respect him, so he didn't respect you so what the fuck are you complaining about?

Shit, even if you DID respect him you're still a whiney bitch for asking for respect back.

I think you've realized that you've been a complete fucktard overall in this thread and I advise you to quit posting. It will suffice as an apology and the generous motherfucker that I am will forgive you.

What the fuck? Are you kidding? Of course they do. It's the reason you're getting no respect you dumbass. It's the reason you've made a post saying you're getting tired of people like them. John, you really can be completely fucked in the head sometimes. Get your shit together.

Nobody shows respect on the internet you dumb optimistic twat. You sound like a damn child learning about the wonders of the world, oblivious to the thousands of diseases.

I am still expecting an apology.
