Serrano is the first to fire, driving a right hand down the middle. But Aramaki answers immediately, keeping his shoulder tight and sending a much shorter, more compact right of his own.
Another simultaneous exchange is about to unfold, but Aramaki's punch arrives first.
BUGH!
The right hand crashes into Serrano's collarbone and jolts him backward.
And by the time Serrano's own right reaches its target, it's more like a slap across Aramaki's face, carrying little of the weight it was supposed to have.
Serrano leans backward, and Aramaki dips at the knees before slipping forward again, firing a series of compact punches aimed at the body.
The first two are blocked.
Dug. Dug.
The third digs into Serrano's ribs.
Thud!
On the fourth punch, Serrano avoids the hook by leaning his torso backward.
"Aramaki's pressure is relentless right now!"
"And yet look at Serrano! Even under that kind of pressure, he's still finding ways to make punches miss."
