'He is delaying. However, I am not sure whether it was the best choice. Sure, he can catch his breath, but the injury on the back of his head is quite serious.
'He is just making things harder for himself. I am surprised if he can see straight with all the blood loss.'
Kiernan thought to himself.
If he were in Shri's shoes, he wouldn't have done that. He would've acted like there was a time limit and tried to end the match as quickly as possible.
"One minute is up!"
The referee shouted.
Shri finished wrapping his knuckles with the white tape and slowly moved back to his fighting stance.
"I am ready!"
He shouted.
"Fight!"
Julian strode forward and punched ahead, but instead of the fist heading straight, it veered off and moved through the air like a snake.
"Metal Style, King Cobra Strike!"
Shri blinked in confusion, not expecting such a unique technique, and dodged to the side, but then the fist changed direction and struck him in the shoulder.
THWACK!
"Ah!"
