Fortunately, Kenta stays disciplined in his form, putting his right guard protecting the side of his head when bending to the left for that triple hooks.
Liam's sharp hook only hits the glove, but the guard is pinned to his head. The collision still shakes Kenta's skull.
And he receives this in a terrible position with a terrible balance.
Kenta's left leg shudders. He staggers sideways.
Liam is already shifting his stance, loading up to drive in a chopping right before Kenta can fall. Yet even in that broken position, Kenta forces up a tight double guard.
BAM!
Liam's glove crashes into his forearms with brutal force, the impact blasting Kenta backward and slamming him into the canvas.
The referee steps in at once, signaling the knockdown.
"Down!"
The arena erupts, roars tearing through the stands as the moment detonates.
"Oh my… what an exchange!" a commentator shouts. "That was elite offense meeting elite defense!"
