I believe he started throwing the match or a hallucination sequence occured during the scene which cuts to him running to Yang and sustained a few punches as it then follows with him backflipping off the ring while dodging her bullets. Not entirely sure if it was due to the rounds' blasts or his intentions but it did seem suspiciously odd to me. He landed more than a few clean shots at her and made it a bit awkward that she eventually caught up to his fighting style since she could not do so on Neo and went brute force on Melanie.

Moreover, when Yang resorted to her Semblance, it would appear that he looked like he was expecting it.

But the thing is that we, viewers, don't know if everything we saw in the match was 100% of the real deal or fragments. Because, at the end, the camera feed does prove what we saw as Yang defending herself was actually an unprovoked attack.

Also, he was wearing pants. Maybe he had some sort of chain mail hidden there. I'm always suspicious of what's underneath in this case. Who knows? Maybe there'll be a rematch.
