[Because the impact with the ground threw him off, Yusuke's reaction time is about a second too late, and Duo's already on top of him before he can properly toss him off. He does resist, all thrashing and kicking and attempted knees to the nuts, but Duo's punch strikes true, hitting him hard enough to knock his head back to ground. It doesn't take off as much HP as his own hit did, but it did leave him disoriented for a good moment.
However, Yusuke's the master of getting back up when he's been beaten down, and now that Duo's in close range, his fist shoots up to deliver a counter punch to the other boy's face. Hopefully it'll be enough to knock him off.]
