The fight began in my usual manner; I worked hard with my left hand, holding an opponent at a distance. In the middle of the first round I took a left lateral strike my opponent in the jaw, after which he was nearly on the floor. Then he pressed and almost ceased to attack, and I continued to inflict severe blows to the head and body, forcing the opponent to retreat and close.
