Chapter 66
Michael Bosley and Daniel Greene spoke excitedly as the fighters took their corners.
“Wow, that first round was intense,” Michael said. “Edward’s wild style really makes for an exciting fight, while Felix’s discipline is something to admire.”
Daniel nodded. “Absolutely, Michael. Felix has been using his technique effectively, but Edward’s unpredictability and resilience keeps him in the fight. And speaking of Edward, that cut above his left eye is starting to bleed more. It could become a problem if it’s not controlled.”
Michael agreed. “Yes, the cut is definitely an issue. It’s making Edward’s face look worse for wear. But he’s showing impressive toughness, not letting it slow him down.”
Daniel added, “Felix will be capitalizing on the cut, landing strikes that keep opening it up. Edward’s going to need to dig deep and find a way to overcome this one.”
The bell rang for the second round. Edward and Felix met in the center of the octagon.
Edward came out strong, throwing a number of fast punches. Felix moved back, using his Karate footwork to stay out of range.
Felix remembered his coach’s advice. He used his jab more to keep Edward at bay. He moved side to side, making it harder for Edward to land a clean shot.
Edward tried to close the distance quickly, throwing a heavy right hook. Felix ducked under the hook and responded with a quick front kick to Edward’s midsection. The kick landed cleanly, pushing Edward back.
Felix followed up with a spinning side kick. Edward blocked it with his forearm but felt the force behind it.
Felix’s movements were smooth and calculated, showing the benefits of his disciplined training.
Edward, feeling the pressure, attempted a high kick. Felix saw it coming and stepped back, avoiding the kick.
Felix then used a quick jab and followed with a low kick to Edward’s lead leg. The kick hit hard, and Edward limped slightly.
Felix moved in with a combination of punches, aiming for Edward’s head and body.
He used his skills to keep the strikes accurate and powerful. Edward struggled to defend against the precision of Felix’s attacks.
Edward, showing his resilience, managed to land a clean left hook to Felix’s jaw. Felix lost his footing but quickly regained it.
He refocused, using his agility to avoid further damage.
Felix took a deep breath and began to control the pace. He used more feints and mixed his attacks.
He landed a few quick jabs and a solid roundhouse kick to Edward’s side. Edward winced but pressed on.
Felix’s strategy was paying off. He managed to avoid most of Edward’s wild swings and focused on landing clean, disciplined strikes.
He caught Edward with a cross to the face, which made Edward’s head swing back.
Seeing an opening, Felix moved in with a powerful combination, ending with a sharp elbow to Edward’s cheek.
The elbow caused a small cut to reopen above Edward’s left eye. Blood trickled down his face, and Edward winced in pain.
Felix, seeing the blood flowing freely from the reopened cut, pressed his advantage.
He landed a set of jabs and straight punches, each aimed at the damaged area.
The cut above Edward’s left eye was clearly worsening, and Felix’s strikes only made it worse.
Michael Bosley commented, “Felix is really taking advantage of that cut. Every punch is landing right where it hurts Edward the most.”
Daniel Greene added, “You can see the blood starting to pour down Edward’s face now. Felix’s skills are showing—he’s targeting that cut with surgical accuracy.”
Edward, ignoring the pain and blood, fought back fiercely.
He threw a wild combination of hooks and uppercuts, trying to overwhelm Felix with his unpredictable style.
Felix ducked and weaved, using his Karate footwork to evade most of Edward’s wild swings.
Felix’s disciplined approach allowed him to stay out of range, while Edward’s aggressive attacks were becoming more desperate.
Felix managed to land a clean front kick to Edward’s midsection, causing him to take a few back.
Edward grimaced, but he quickly recovered and moved back into the center of the octagon.
Felix continued to exploit the cut, landing a sharp right cross that caused more blood to spill down Edward’s face.
Edward, his vision impaired, struggled to keep up with Felix’s accurate strikes.
He tried to retaliate with a high kick, but Felix anticipated it and stepped aside, avoiding the blow.
Seeing that Edward was struggling, Felix increased his offensive.
He landed a spinning side kick to Edward’s ribs, which made Edward wince and take a step back.
Felix followed up with a quick jab to the face, landing it right on the cut.
The impact caused Edward to stagger, and the referee stepped in to closely observe the situation.
When the referee stepped in to pause the fight and called for the ringside doctor, the commentators reacted immediately.
Michael Bosley said, “The referee’s stepping in. This cut above Edward’s eye is looking pretty bad. Felix’s targeting has made it worse.”
Daniel Greene added, “It’s clear the referee’s concerned about the severity of that injury. The doctor’s on his way in to check it out.”
Felix and his coach watched intently from their corner as the doctor examined the cut, checking for any signs that it might be too severe for Edward to continue.
The arena fell silent as everyone waited for the decision.
“This cut is severe and bleeding heavily. If it doesn’t stop soon, it could impair his vision and pose a significant risk. I recommend pausing the fight to assess if it’s safe for him to continue.”
The doctor spoke with the referee. Edward, breathing heavily, stood in the center of the octagon, his face marked by blood and bruises.
After a few moments of discussion, the referee and the doctor exchanged a few final words.
The referee raised his hand, signaling that the fight would be temporarily stopped. The crowd waited anxiously for the final decision.
As the doctor continued to assess Edward’s injury, the outcome of the fight remained uncertain.
