I am going to go on the assumption that these two guys are a wrestling tag team that has fallen on some hard times with fights lost that should have been won. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
First I have great appreciation for artists who can produce 3D art. I have no idea how it is done. I am old school pencil on paper.
Whether it is a good thing or not both guys have the same build. I feel like faulting this but here it works well. Perhaps they have been together for a long time and train together as a rule. Perhaps also they are the same age.. Both look powerful which is good.
The blonde is leaning against a wall so he must be a little taller than his partner. That is good. Same build and height would not be so good.
I do have a problem with both having the same haircut, but again its a good cut. Still I would make one a little longer but neither should have a buzz cut. Longer hair makes for a more attractive male. Modern advertising doesn't use buzz cut models and neither should you. Bald heads are terrible. Zero appeal. If both guys were blonde or dark hair they could be twins which could work well but then you would have to make them equal height. Yet if they were not twins but brothers than the height issue is not a problem.
Moving on to the scene......The guy on the left I am assuming is the one who feels the need to ask the other what his problem is. Why he is not pulling his share of the load. The blonde is looking straight at him which implies he is not taking his critique without resentment. The lack of hostility on either's face coupled with the absence of finger pointing or clenched fists helps create a less than hostile confrontation. I get the sense that these two guys are long time friends with a lot of mutual respect for each other and that together they have had much success in the ring. So what's the problem? Perhaps the blonde is seeing someone and that the relationship is interfering with his responsibilities.
Confrontations usually occur when anger is highest so I feel this scene should have been right after they lost a fight they should have won due to the blonde's distraction. In that case both guys should show some bruises they took during the fight to make it clear that this is a post fight confrontation. Both boys and not just the blonde to indicate the dark haired boy had to go back in before properly rested and took some shots.
I love the black and white setting as it shows the downward spiral of the team. Both boys are very attractive...always a plus.
Standoff is a very good work I rated the vision originality and technigue highly as the theme is something far better than the usual works I have seen. You show a different more realistic aspect. A behind the scenes look at the ups and downs of combat sports.
Impact is where you missed. Bruises, messed up hair different hair lengths would have really sent home the impact. Still it is a fine work and I give it my personal rating of A-.
I hope this was helpful.

when you ask for a critique, I'm not usually going to help much except to say, these two are freaking cute!
