...poked his darting left hand into Durelle's face, and kept it there through the rest of the fight. In the fifth, Archie ran into a roundhouse right, and fell again. But it was the last time. After that, every Durelle lunge seemed to land on an elbow or a hunched shoulder. Archie flicked jabs, pumped rights, and suddenly it was Durelle's head that snapped back after every flurry...
