The explanation given for Yangs semblance is that he takes damage and that makes her physically stronger. The harder the hit the more powerful she gets. Neo didn't actually deliver any major blows bar the last one which knocked Yang out. We know Neo has seen Yang fighting since she rescued Roman so probably has some idea of what Yangs semblance is and how to counter it.
