Erique's Agon Recap
A Contact Record
© 2015 Charles Meisling
JUN/16/15
Foreword

I've spent a good amount of time re-watching footage of the agon at 1/2 speed. I wanted to put together a historical record, if not a conventional scorecard, that featured contact highlights that could allow for analysis. Call it a fightscript if you will.

I have also provided the victor for reach round. This is my opinion as judge, not stemming just from listed engagements, but from witnessing the fights and reviewing the video content as a whole. My equation for reaching these results is the one typical to our sparring routine: most real kills / fight-enders.

This is a comprehensive record, but not a complete one. I've done my best. My reasoning for this length of detail is (1) for Erique's betterment and (2) because of the current uncertainty of a recap video (which if it is made, may not be in the fashion of a highlight reel where a clear picture is painted of fighter achievements—instead those achievements are related here).

Format

A new instance of notable contact is designated by +
→ infers immediate follow-up contact within the same engagement; it can be rewritten "immediately followed by"
(game over) helps clarify first-kill or prevailing kill

Example 1

Charles slashes Corey's wrist (game over)
→ Corey lands lateral head shot

This means shots were traded, Charles landed a debilitating cut first, and Corey would not have been able to complete the kill in real life.

Afterward

Erique should be lauded for his output and pain tolerance; he managed to stay up while his two opponents played round-robin. The agon has cemented Erique's status as a strong competitor whose skills and stamina have greatly improved since joining our ranks as an Agonistics practitioner. Like the rest of us, he has plenty of avenues with which to grow. His dedication to training will no-doubt continue to enhance his game in years to come.
