Well I obviusly vote form myself but I guess I better support it.

For starters my Saxon sheild offers much more protection than the Buckler it cover more areas, I can punhc with the boss and the fact that's it wood means Blakes weapons that manage to chop into it will get stuck and I could disarm him. The War hammer can crush the helmet with the hammer side and the spike on the back will go thru just about anything. The hammer is much more affective than the cutlass in this fight.

The poleaxe is like the war hammer's big brother, it has a hammer head the can hit with enough for to crack armor and crush in helmets enoguh to kil. The Woomera launcher and Assegai spears apprently don't work well together, the spear's can't be thrown with it so the range advantage isn't going to work. I suppose you could throw the spear noramaly but hey won't do anything thru my armor and my sheild.

The Flacata could reportisdly chop into shield and helmets but there's a problem in this fight. My sheild is ment to be chopped into, so doing so will just work to my advantage. My Helmet shape wil lcasue any blows to just glance off, it's highly conical so it's hard to get into. The Kusarigama can do much more than the Falacata and Kris, they only have the ability to chop and stab. The Kusarigama can simply do more.

Your armor is better is were just looking at pure defense, but my armor set has several advantages. It offer a much freer movment and weight significanly less. Also my Helmet doesn't obsure my vision, and in order to do some of thing you want to do, like try and cut my hands you need to have unobscured vision. The body section of my armor the Lorica Segmentata is segentated palte armor and shoulders and I don't see any off your weapons getting thru the conical helmet and overlapping segemts of steel.

Ultimaly I feel I would win becasue of the War hammer and Poleaxe, which are the only armor piercing weapons in the fight. No only are they armor piercing but they can but used to hook legs and arms to pull your opponet off his his feet. The War hammer inparticulat will be accompanied well with the Kusarigama. I could take our legs out and tangel you in the chian and while you were down the warhammer or poleaxe would have a sitting target.
