210 Tang Yan vs Lomachenko (2)

Tang Yan nodded.

Ding! Ding!

The bell rang and he was back out. They sparred for a moment and then Lomachenko moved in quickly, stabbing with a left. Tang Yan rolled away and circled.

Lomachenko followed and Tang Yan moved into a corner, letting Lomachenko trap him.

Lomachenko stepped in, expecting Tang Yan to slip away, down the ropes. But Tang Yan set himself and threw a straight overhand left to the bridge of Lomachenko's nose. 

Lomachenko snorted, dodging but Tang Yan followed in with a right to the pit of his stomach before Lomachenko could recover.

The audience seeing this became rowdy.

Lomachenko smothered Tang Yan's lead and tied him up in the neutral corner. He tried with a short uppercut but Tang Yan counterpunching, flickered out his left towards Lomachenko's jaw.

Whoosh!

Close!

Lomachenko was forced back, as he narrowly dodged out of range.
