Chemasov blitzed forward again, no feeling-out process, just raw aggression. He feinted a shot low then exploded up with a right hand, but Damon read it clean.
He slipped just to the outside and caught Chemasov with a short, sharp check hook on the way in. It wasn't a knockout shot, but it sent a message, he saw everything.
Mike Brewer: "That hook landed! Cross is already timing him!"
Chris Dalton: "You can see the difference here. Damon's not rushing, he's picking him apart."
Chemasov snarled, wiping at his mouth as he circled. He shot in again, lowering his level, looking to wrap the hips, his bread and butter. But Damon sprawled hard. He got his hips back, underhooks in deep, and pushed Chemasov off like it was nothing.
Jim Logan: "That's not just takedown defense. That's dominance in the scramble."
