I'm a guy who enjoys a well portrayed story, so I wouldn't mind if Baam defeated Hoaqin in this arc. What I most care about is justifiability i.e. if Baam makes the necessary improvements which, like you mentioned, is possible due to his incredible growth rate, then I can get behind it. I'll be honest though, I'm not a big fan of protagonists (especially good-aligned protagonists) so yes I would prefer if Hoaqin stayed undefeated during the course of the arc and yes I could see a rematch further up the Tower where the two can face off again with Baam showing his improvements.

Yeah, the fandom really aren't happy about Baam falling for Rachel's words again (which I feel is somewhat justified considering how he grew up) but yes, it would be nice to see Baam move on now. Getting tricked a third time would just be bad writing from SIU.
