X-Factor Scoring
Both have similar goals, as neither want to fight, but, other forces had forced them into battle.

Formal Training
John participated in Mexican Revolutions, and fought against the Mexican Army, as well as the American Army, but as far as formal training goes, his only real training was from Dutch Van Der Linde (the leader of his old outlaw gang), and Landon Ricketts (an aging Wild West legend). Richard, on the other hand was a trained marksman for the US Military, and has quite a few confirmed kills on German soldiers, including one he had beaten in a sniper duel which taken 3 days.

Harrow: 85

Marston: 77

Physical Ability
Richard Harrow has an obvious handicap, as half his face was damaged by an explosive in the war, which caused the loss of his left eye. He still has a great deal of perception to overcome it, but, he is vulnerable at his left flank. Marston, on the other hand, has been hardened from constant pursuit from US Marshals, and the harsh environment of the old west. His endurance is very high, and can take a beating... as long as he's not up against a bear, of course. Not to mention, both are quick to draw, though, Marston has trained a bit more in a showdown type of scenario.

Harrow: 66

Marston: 83

Accuracy
Despite the loss of his left eye, it has strengthened what Richard's right eye can see, and makes him even more dangerous at longer ranges. He isn't a slouch in close quarters combat as well, though, Marston holds a bit more advantage, as he has made a living off his six-shooters. This would essentially be a wash, however.

Harrow: 83

Marston: 84

Discipline
Marston has learned to live off the land, and Landon taught him great trigger discipline with his revolvers, however, Richard is clean, cold, and calculating as he fights, skilled from his youth as a hunter, as well as his time with the military. He barely edges John out in this category.

Harrow: 86

Marston: 83

Final Fight & Details
The match will be 5 on 5, Marston & 4 Outlaws against Harrow & 4 Gangsters

The match will take place at Blackwater, giving Marston a slight hometown advantage, but, keeping the arena fairly neutral to put Harrow in an urban environment.
