The exchanges grew tighter. Damon snapped another jab, slipped just outside Ivan's return, and dug a hook into the body.
Ivan tried to answer with a cross, but Damon rolled under, countering with an uppercut that clipped the chin.
Ivan reset quickly, guard tight, but Damon pressed behind his footwork. He cut angles, landing the jab, then sliding off to his right to avoid the counter.
Ivan threw heavy, but Damon's head movement was sharper now, ducking under hooks, slipping crosses by inches.
Damon let the combinations flow: jab, straight, left hook to the body, calf kick to finish. Ivan blocked some, ate others, but he struggled to pin Damon down.
Every time he tried to close the distance, Damon slipped and reset, punishing him with sharp shots on the exit.
Jim Logan spoke over the noise. "Damon's showing the difference in striking here. Cleaner, sharper, and the head movement is on point."
