Bab 89: Rising One (13)

[Rumsak Noi has shown the class of Nakmuay. Kubayashi was no match at all.]

[Kubayashi was too careless. Even though Rumsak Noi is a Muay Thai fighter, he's also been a boxing champion. Kubayashi threw a big punch, and in a situation where he wasn't properly balanced. He should have focused on defense when trying to break free from the clinch. But in that situation, Kubayashi attacked. So his guard was bound to open.]

[So Rumsak Noi seized that opportunity?]

[You could call it almost animal instinct. Wow. Looking at it in slow motion, it's even more impressive. Look at how the uppercut and straight punch go in during that brief moment. The weight transfer is perfect. That's the kind of punch that really creates a KO. Accurate, concise, and properly powered.]

[It's like a predator spotting its prey's weakness in a split second and going for the throat?]
