User blog comment:ImperiexSeed/To those of you who think the RF was trying in 1x22, then why didn't Barry just have the Arrow defeat the RF in 1x09?/@comment-5544928-20150604193204/@comment-5544928-20150604202000

I didn't think the fight itself was bad. I don't delve too much into the fights by themselves as much as I do the story and the background surrounding them. Shows and movies with violence just for the sake of violence are usually the worst ones, but if there is a good story and the audience can emotionally connect with the hero and why they are fighting the villain then I think the fight will work, and I think Barry's reasons for fighting RF were easy with the audience to understand, as well as his need to call for backup as he was unable to catch RF on his own in previous attempts.
