1) While the winner was writing the report, the opponent left the internet and didn't return for a while...
2) The winner will write the report after some time...
3) There are people for whom it can be difficult to confirm morally.
But in no boxing competition has it ever been stipulated in the rules that if you don't shake your opponent's hand, the fight doesn't count.
Not confirming the report = shame.
Here's another example from practice:
I was playing against Wlk777, and I couldn't place Behemoths on the first level, even though I had enough money; I only needed to exchange 1 crystal, but I got confused at the market and sold the crystal instead.
Wlk didn't give me an auto-win. Then I said that I give up.
To which the opponent replied: "I'll give up to you, keep playing!"
And we continued, I, of course, lost that match, but now I know that Barbos is quite capable of fighting even without creatures.
