Well then Cook at his worse still beat Steven. What does that say?
Hmmm...looked dumb but it worked. So I am still confused...why is it dumb if it worked? It just wasn't pretty? More interesting is that Steven saw him executing it several times, and finally fell for it. Are you saying that Steven didn't have enough sense to figure the technique out and finally fell for it?
Cook won by fluke knockout when Steven made a very strange ducking motion in a completely weird angle. It was not a great act of skill. There is no way you can make the claim that a falling double kick at barely waist level was some kind of brilliant maneuver. There is no way Cook could have thought ahead of time Steven would lean over that far.
For example, 2002 Winter Olympics, gold medal in short track speed skating goes to Australia's Steven Bradbury, who advanced past the quarterfinal after a disqualification by another competitor, advanced past the semi when half the field crashed, and took first in the final when everyone ahead of him crashed coming around the final turn. Yet my father who hates Apollo for some strange reason still claims Bradbury was exhibiting a fantastic display of skill and strategy, by remaining in dead last with no hope of finishing in medal position and waiting for a rare catastrophic crash he could not possibly predict.
