Server comes out, lands a one two, then decides to press the action, landing in combination throughout the first minute and sporadically for the rest of the round, but it's also giving Callum opportunities to land one twos counters of his own, a few seemed to shake up Server a time or two with them, which was almost enough to slightly edge the round in Callum's favor, but not quite enough in my estimation.
