The seconds ticked by, each one feeling longer than the last. Damon's arms burned with fatigue, but he couldn't stop now.
He threw a few more punches, each one finding its mark on Edward's body.
Edward grunted with each hit but remained active, constantly working to defend and escape.
Michael observed, "Damon's doing a good job of staying active on top. He's landing shots and keeping Edward on the defensive. This could be what he needs to edge out this round."
Daniel chimed in, "But he's got to be careful. Edward is still dangerous, even off his back. One wrong move, and Damon could find himself in a bad position."
Damon knew this too. He couldn't let up, but he also couldn't get reckless.
He needed to maintain control and avoid making any mistakes that could give Edward an opening.
Edward suddenly exploded with another burst of energy, using his legs to push Damon away.
