Question 5: Describe the second round of the game in your own words.
Answer: As soon as the second round started, Felix stood up from his stool and rushed towards Antonio like a bull. Antonio, however counter attacked him with continuous punches from the left and the right. Then, he delivered a punch right under Felix’s chin. Felix’s legs bent momentarily under the impact, as he fought off a series of punches, countering with his own blows. Antonio moved carefully as Felix pretended to be hurt, but soon had him entangled into a rip roaring, punching toe-to-toe fight. Suddenly, he hit Antonio on the chin and in return Antonio hit him on the bridge of his nose.

Answer: The fight was expected to affect the relationship of amigo brothers adversely. However, it turned out better than expected. Both the boys fought in the ring as rivals, focusing on winning the championship.
