Im secured the victory by maintaining a consistent, well-prepared performance across all three rounds, particularly dominating the second and third. While Pedro brought energy and some strong freestyles in the first, his later rounds were perceived as less polished and overly reliant on repetitive angles, leading to a dip in momentum that Im capitalized on with sharp, tactical writing.

The judges ultimately sided with Im, recognizing his polished delivery and strategic execution over Pedro's more erratic, albeit energetic, showing.
