The two fighters collided in the center of the arena with a thunderous impact that shook the very foundations of the building. The crowd erupted, a tidal wave of roaring cheers and frenzied screams washing over the bloodstained sand.
Morrow moved first, his massive fist arcing toward Andrey's head with devastating speed. Andrey's white hair blazed as he raised his arm, blocking the blow with a sharp crack of impact. The force drove him back a step, but he held his ground.
He countered immediately, his fist driving into Morrow's ribs with a surge of Ki-enhanced force. The blow landed solidly, forcing a low grunt from the undefeated champion. But Morrow didn't stagger. He absorbed the hit and retaliated with a brutal hook that caught Andrey across the jaw.
Andrey's head snapped to the side, but he pivoted with the momentum, spinning and driving his elbow into Morrow's chest. The impact sent a shockwave through the larger man's body, and for a moment, Morrow's feet left the ground.
