Stopping Power/Strike Muting

Hi,
When I played the beta strikes had stopping power that would interrupt your opponents heavy strikes if you landed before they did, but now this is no longer the case. Now landing first is a negative thing as your opponent now has the stamina advantage if they wait until you throw first even if my punch lands clean. It’s takes good timing out of the game and lowers the skill level substantially. Please reintroduce stopping power to interrupt your opponents heavy strikes or add/turn up strike muting to lower the damage they deal their heavy strike is intercepted.

Thanks.
