Sure, but my point (despite not spelling it out in the previous comment) isn't that Laxus will survive for sure, but that he's almost for sure going to win and more likely than not he'll do so on his own.

And not because he's so great or awesome or because of tactics, smarts or anything, but simply "Because he's Laxus"... just look at his "fight" with Jura to see what I mean... oh well, at least his fists won't be crying.
