Alfred has been with Fightplace for several years now - five years, to be exact - and during that time he has matured a lot. Over the past years he has taken quite a beating, but he has also learned new fighting techniques and gained valuable experience. He is no longer a youngster; instead, he has become a regular member of our roster of fighters.

The same can be said about his opponent this time: Hardy. He has also been with us for several years. Hardy is a special case and hard to categorize. He can fight extremely hard, using every trick and bit of cunning available. But when he faces the right opponent, the fight can sometimes drift into a more erotic direction.

In “Finish Him!”, both aspects come into play. On one hand, Hardy wants to completely dominate his younger opponent Alfred, but on the other hand he clearly enjoys the encounter. In terms of strength, Alfred can now keep up quite well. He has grown taller and broader, and he shows some strong scissors and headlocks that Hardy struggles to escape from.

However, Alfred still lacks a bit of the toughness and experience that Hardy brings into the match. Hardy grabs wherever and however he can, and poor Alfred occasionally finds himself being attacked between the legs. Of course, it doesn’t take long before Alfred retaliates in the same way - but Hardy is usually one step ahead.

The wiry Hardy clearly has more power. When Alfred is already lying on the mat, quite battered, Hardy seems to shift into an even higher gear. To Alfred’s misery, it becomes harder and harder for him to defend himself against Hardy’s relentless attacks. Yet giving up is not an option for Alfred. He fights on stubbornly, trying everything he can to turn the tide and win the match.
