He's faster than I expected for someone his size but my body moves on instinct even while my brain formulates a plan. The swing of his punch gives me an opening and I rush to get inside of his reach. It puts me at risk if he decides to grapple but if I'm fast enough, I might be safe. If nothing else, we didn't establish a no biting rule.

With my back to his chest, I swing back my elbow toward the space just under his ribs while my foot lifts. Maybe I should go straight for his groin instead of the stomp I'm planning for his instep but that move seems like something to save.
