Round 1:
Tahir makes his way to the center and starts to test Limfs legs with knside and outside low kicks. Lim throws a punch or two before clinching and attacking the scared body of Tahir.
Tahir lands a spinning back kick and Lim catches and he sweeps out the other.
They clinch and exchange knees, get warned, then clinch and exchange knees again.
The round ends.

Round 2:
They both start this round with low kicks, and after Lim lands a punch he starts to headhunt a little until it is clear that Tahir isnft hurt.
After Tahir is again swept there is a short time out called due to an accidentally headbutt, and after the restart it was stopped again to officially warn Tahir for his excessive clinching.
Lim lands a handful of heavy low kicks, and lands his left hand 3 or 4 times in a row before Tahir turns it into a brawl until the bell rings.

Round 2:
Tahir comes out as usual, and Lim covers before firing off with his own combination, landing a kick and three punches. He then narrowly misses two bombs before throwing Tahir to the mat once again.
Lim lands two solid left straights, but it seems like now both are having some trouble keeping their footing.
Just on the final 10 second mark Tahir lands a perfect back kick to Limfs mid-section, to which the local hero replies with a 9-strike combination.

Lim is awarded the victory.
