Damon stepped back, his eyes fixed intently on his opponent, Johnny Creed. He took in every detail, from Johnny's compact, muscular build to his short stature.
Damon's mind worked quickly, formulating a strategy to exploit Johnny's limitations.
He decided to maintain a safe distance, utilizing his height advantage to keep Johnny at bay.
Damon adopted a traditional Muay Thai stance, his feet shoulder-width apart, with his left foot forward and his right foot back. He kept his knees slightly bent, his weight evenly distributed between both legs.
His hands were up, with his left hand in front of his left ear and his right hand in front of his right ear. His elbows were close to his body, with his forearms parallel to the ground.
Johnny, on the other hand, took on a classic boxing stance, his feet shoulder-width apart, with his left foot forward and his right foot back.
