As a serious comment regarding the fights between Seb and Decia. Consider that in reality the fights between them may not have been "real" enough for Seb. In the sense that they were not to the death as a fight would likely be in real combat. It could literally be the case that Seb was not properly motivated to give it his all. I say this because it is in fact how the character has been portrayed previously with him removing safeties on holodeck training sessions in order to make them more realistic, otherwise he did not feel he was really training otherwise. With Decia he probably just thought they were playing around.

The only reason Seb is alive following their first fight is Decia pulled her punch just enough at the last second, her first offensive action in the fight. As Seb said Decia doesn't play around Plus the first fight was also pretty quick too.

Wasn't a punch, it was wrapping her legs around his neck like a friggan anaconda.
EDIT: Wouldn't have been a terrible way to bite it, though.
And to regard Billie's point, in some ways it's true. He vastly underestimated her ability based off of previous times he'd either seen her fight or sparred with her (prior to her taking her current position). The woman holds back most of the time and it was a pretty big wake up call when he challenged her.
