Without even blinking, the two just gave each other a devilish smile before they smashed each other's face alternatingly. Unlike Mikhail and Bob, Mauro and Ilya were giving each other closed-fist punches with full power. I would've preferred kiting my enemy and not getting a single hit but this was their fight, not mine.
With each hit, their heads would just blow back from the impact but since they were holding onto each other's collar, they were actually keeping each other stable. They took each hit head-on, only gritting their teeth before impact, but it didn't take long before it became a bloody mess.
The left side of Ilya's face was already getting bruised while Mauro's left eye was completely shut.
Looking at it normally, it would look like they were just giving each other a free hit but looking at it closely, Ilya had the slight advantage. Granted Mauro was basically punching down on the left side of Ilya's face, but Ilya was only aiming for his left eye.
