IT doesnt matter, she gives Ian a hard time at the start, after that if he is strong enough he can shake her off and lock her in a choke. I guess Axel is going to be way stronger/
It's a difference on how we view the fights in ORS. To me it's obvious Eva implemented a fighting mechanic so we could at some point beat up the male competition.
Jeremy is a friendly rival and can have sex with Alison, Lena, Emma, and Louise, probably eventually Ivy as well, and will be beaten up at the martial arts tournament. It's also built up by the fact that as it is now we can't beat him, but can perform better or worse depending on how much time we spent training.
Axel on the other hand is the unfriendly rival, he can have sex with Lena, he has had sex with Cherry, he is constantly hounding Cindy, he mingle quite a bit with Ivy, and Alison and Emma both cream themselves when they see him. It's clear he is also a threat to Ian's sexual exploits. A fight with him is also set up, he gets pissy when he finds out about Ian and Lena dating, gets snarky with Ian at the Cindy photoshoot, and actually tries to push Ian at the club in chapter 10. His fight will clearly be settled outside of the ring and will probably happen after he makes a final attempt for Lenas attention or Ian finds out Axel has been banging Lena while he's dating her.
The idea that these two won't get beat up when the time is right is absurd to me. Both of them are presented as being high walls for Ian to climb, but if he can't climb said walls, why include the martial arts system in the first place?
