After a probing attempt, Ober decided it was unnecessary to continue, so although he was dominating in the engagement, he surprisingly retreated, creating a distance between himself and Rocky.
"Ober is voluntarily creating distance with his opponent. What is he planning to do? Is he giving his opponent a chance to surrender?"
As soon as Ober had retreated, the announcer shouted loudly, and his words also elicited laughter from the audience. The most notable thing about Ober was that he often killed his surrendering opponents. The announcer's comment obviously meant he was preparing to kill!
And it was indeed so!
Just after creating distance, Ober made another puzzling move—he charged towards Rocky again!
This time, however, his sprint was much faster, clearly having maxed out the thrust of his armor, so in just a blink of an eye, he was right in front of Rocky, and then suddenly changed direction and leaped into the air.
Behind him!
