A man to the side offered Davin a shield but he refused it, his training had never involved it until this point and he saw no reason to include it now. He didn't respond to his opponent's insult as he didn't feel it merited a response. Despite the man's confident display he saw the large errors in the man's stance, left flank exposed, left side could be easily manipulated into being exposed.
Davin launched a straight jab aimed at his opponent's exposed flank, just below the rib cage.
