"Keep moving," Victor shouted from the corner. "Don't let him pin you down!"
Jack nodded, his focus unshaken. "I've got this," he muttered under his breath.
As the round neared its end, Darius landed another brutal body shot, sending Jack stumbling back into the ropes. The crowd roared, sensing the champion's dominance.
Ruby clutched the ropes, her knuckles white. "Stay strong, Jack!"
Jack steadied himself, his breathing heavy. He glanced at the clock—ten seconds left.
Darius moved in for the kill, his fists flying with ruthless precision. Jack dodged the first two punches, but the third grazed his temple, making his vision blur.
The bell rang, and the fighters returned to their corners.
Ruby immediately tended to Jack, wiping the blood from his face. "You're letting him control the pace," she said, her voice urgent. "You need to step it up."
Jack took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Darius. "He's strong, but he's not invincible."
