Consider that your sneak peek for the chapter. ;)
You all make some good points... and I admit, I’m rather on the fence, too. Heavy is an absolute powerhouse. I think Specialist is knowledgeable enough to adapt her fighting style, and she’s by no means a small person, but at the same time--that reach. And the fact that Heavy is, of course, absolutely savage. Greater strength by far, and definitely used to fighting faster classes than even Spec.
Now, bare-knuckle boxing is rather different than the stuff we see on TV. Matches tend to last only a minute or two. So, @miedriwesley, getting a quick jab in would definitely make a difference. We haven’t seen Heavy do that kind of fighting, but I imagine he’s competent and mean.
But we’ve also seen at least one demonstration of how mean Specialist can be with one or two of those techniques in chapter 32.
P.S. @vanvietvor I’m very glad you’re enjoying the fic, and excited to hear from you!
