Lee Il-su quickly ducked his head to avoid it and then threw a counter. However, this time Ryusei avoided the counter well with head movement. The two fighters grappled in a clinch. Lee Il-su skillfully pressed his body against Ryusei and tripped him, causing him to fall.
Lee Il-su was stronger than Ryusei. His balance was better too. Ryusei stood up and moved to grab Lee Il-su again.
One minute of the third round had passed.
[There are 2 minutes left in the third round. If it continues like this, Lee Il-su will win comfortably. If that happens, it would be nothing short of an upset.]
[Yes. If Ryusei loses this match, it will be his first consecutive loss. And to a Korean fighter at that.]
Ryusei's corner shouted that there were 2 minutes left, and Ryusei understood. Ryusei lowered his posture and changed from the Hitman style to his original stance. The crowd started to react again.
