At least, until the Ukrainian landed a right hand that sent Morono crashing to the canvas. <\/p>\n<p>Smelling blood in the water, Donchenko unleashed a flurry of ground strikes, but Morono never stopped moving. With the clock winding down, Morono eventually scrambled back to his feet and hilariously spat blood in Donchenko\u2019s direction just before the horn. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"408\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-644229 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/gettyimages-2260449277-612x612-1.jpg\"  data-\/><\/p>\n<p>With Morono\u2019s nose still streaming, Donchenko went back to work, punishing Morono\u2019s lead leg and drawing more blood from his opponent\u2019s mouth. A slick spinning elbow from Donchenko caught Morono on his lip, causing a rather nasty split on the right-hand side of his face. <\/p>\n<p>But despite being bloodied up and essentially fighting on one leg, Morono never once backed down. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"408\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-644230 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/gettyimages-2260449782-612x612-1.jpg\"  data-\/><\/p>\n<p>Donchenko continued to dominate in the third, dropping Morono twice with a pair of looping right hands.
