[Zoro's actually quite pleased that his opponent didn't go down so easily. That's going to make things fun. The hulk is mad, though, and not about to let his undefeated streak be ended so soon. He chucks the handle of the club at Zoro and then goes in hard to try to knock him down by brute force, only to find his fist held off in a block by crossed swords.
It would be too easy to just cut him down right there. Zoro's not interested in easy. They circle around each other for a bit, the giant thug throwing punches that look like they could leave dents in the floor, the swordsman parrying some and dodging others. All Zoro wants to know is whether this guy is strong enough to face some other time, or if he should just put him out of his misery. A few punches connect, sending him skidding backwards across the ring, but he never falls. When he's seen and sensed enough, Zoro goes back on the attack, technically using the back of his blades but still hitting his opponent hard enough to crack ribs.
When the dust clears, Zoro is actually standing on top of the mountain of thug like he's going to plant one of those swords in his back like a flag. He doesn't, but damn it's a sight. He'll leave it to the folks in charge to clean up the mess, he just wants his own winnings. If only he'd had more to risk.
He makes to go back and see what Kaneda thought, but he's immediately surrounded by a mix of fans wanting to thank him for the best payout of the night and enemies really pissed at how much he cost them. Maybe that "whole place on our heads" fight is about to break out after all...]
