I'm voting for Radium. Because I liked his punches since I felt they connected well and were easy to follow. He did well with using subtlety and it's really hard to use subtlety well and I admire him for making it through with that.
That's not the only reason I'm voting for him, but I'm also voting for a tie. I think another round would do good - especially to you, Fawriel. You could use more practice. It would also give you a chance to experiment and try out new things.
I'm sorry I have to be blunt on this, but you should really cut back on using excuses to excuse "this is why I couldn't do such and such." and blaming past personal experiences on this. It's not going to help. Looking back at the past and blaming it is not going to get you anywhere with this, nor is it going to solve anything. I'm not a fan of wallowing in personal problems. It will only get you more depressed.

Please. If you think you shouldn't try something because someone is better at said thing than you - Then you're not going to get anywhere. You shouldn't be aiming to win. But rather to give yourself a chance to try different things. Doesn't matter if it turns good or not - you tried. Better than not trying at all.
One of the things I really didn't like about your punches is that you threw in a really humongous backstory. Not that I'm against giving information about the character for people to work with - But keep it concise as possible as you can. I honestly really got bored reading the large bubbles of backstory. =| Again, this is my personal opinion.
If this ends in a tie and you two have to endure another round - I suggest you start accepting criticism. I didn't approve of how you turned down someone's criticism twice during the whole battle. If there's one thing I learnt from my personal experience, is that feedback is very important. I wouldn't be where I am right now if I didn't accept criticism. I'm not going to sit back here and pat you on the shoulder - You really ought to learn to accept criticism and stop seeing it as something that's trying to rain on your parade.
