The Hunter mission 1

You attempt to dodge it but fail. his punch was so quick it was like a blur. He continues beating the living daylights out of you and there is no way you can recover. or is there? As you fall to the ground you see a metal statue of a dominatrix to the left of you and a whip to the right.
The statue looks like it would knock him out cold. On the other hand, the whip may be lighter and easier to use.
