Fight analysis: Shinergy[battle] autumn '11, Andy VS Gerhard

Today I'll cover quite an interresting fight: Andy M (Shinergy[stadlau]) VS Gerhard (Shinergy[zone vienna]) Now this fight is interresting in that winning wasn't an option for Andy to begin with. You see, Andy was pretty badly handicapped by knee pain, so he was in no condition to throw kicks. To make things even more challenging, Andy competed in the adults division despite only being 16 years old.

Therefore, I'll focus very much on analyzing the fight with a focus on Felipe. Before doing so, however, I'll do a brief gross analysis of the fight and sum up my thoughts in a nutshell. Little strategy on both sides, lots of hard knocks, quite a few forbidden maneuvers. From the looks of it, I'd say those guys were out for a kill. Definately a crowd pleaser, that one. Having said that, I do believe both boys got better even during the course of that very fight. While the
