<\/div>\n
Freshmart, one of the division’s most respected figures, attempted to use his lateral movement, to neutralize the onslaught but the fight’s sheer intensity began to take its toll. Round after round, Iwata\u2019s precision inflicted increasing and worsening accumulated damage on Freshmart\u2019s face, specifically targeting the area around the left eye.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The turning point came when Freshmart suffered a deep laceration above that eye. Blood flow became a decisive factor; although the Thai fighter battled on valiantly, the clarity of his vision, via the flow of claret, \u00a0was severely compromised as the bout progressed.<\/div>\n
