FUCK retirements after 5 years.

That pretty much proves my own theory: 2.5 stat fights can't hang with 3 stat fighters. That .5 is a different league and makes for an unfair fight, regardless if you have better right-hand stats. Just so long as you have 3 stars on the left side, you're good to win over any lower stat fighter, and that alone sucks.

Beautiful.

I don't care if people call me a ducker from here on out, I'm not going to eat any more auto-losses like this shit. Not any more.

My camp beats a lot of 3.0 guys. You just need him well rounded at 2.5.

Look at Sammy Ward, ranked #100 and doesn't have anything above 2.5

EDIT: I just looked at the fight, you had a FOURTY pound weight disadvantage and a style disadvantage and a stat disadvantage.

What are you smoking man?

honestly had you used PG instead of FS, you would have won.
and the weight differential really was the diff.

See, that's what I don't get. How would I use PG if I don't have Reflexes? I thought that's what helped out PG along with JJ?

And I know about the weight disadvantage, what else can I do? He can't cut the weight, but he's too good a fighter to just retire because he has great hidden stats - good heart and a solid chin.

And what styles disadvantage if you consider he used PG as his main style? I doubt he would've switched to GnP while winning the bout as it was. So the only disadvantage going for me was 3 stats and weight advantages - something I've overcome before.

PG > FS

40 lbs is huge and you clearly can't overcome against any fighters worth a damn aka anyone beyond 1.5 orgs.

Just expect losses out of him for being so small and keep him as a trainer, otherwise retire him.

PG is not > FS.

A 0.5 star stat advantage is negligible. Overall your fighter had better stats for his style, 9 stars for you, I think 8 for him. I recently had two fights, my 3 JJ, 2.75 flex against a guy who had 3.5 JJ and 3 flex. I won both fights, 1st by split and 2nd by sub. The important thing here is weight and hidden stats. I haven't seen any evidence of reflex helping PG.

Anyway, just find people around 230-250 lbs to fight.

That's going to be a lot harder for me considering most of those guys get retired almost immediately.

The thing for me that I've noticed is that the only way I'm capable of beating out a 3 stat fighter is via way of fluke. That comes with a style advantage, and a prayer.

But yeah, I guess I'll have to better choose my fights, because I'm really tired of those 3 stat fighters challenging me like it's an even fight - especially considering I lose those matches more often than not. If anything, that's like an 85% loss ratio.

Is it just me or does it actually become more difficult to find a fight the longer you've played / better you get at the game?
