Punch Out: Revamped

Chapter 4: The minor circuit part 2

Brianna felt good about her wins so far. She was half way through the minor circuit and already had two wins. Her next opponent was Disco Kid. A young man who is obsessed with the disco theme. "If he's all about dancing, why the heck is he in boxing." She said to herself. The day came for the third match. Brianna climbed into the ring. The crowd went wild for her. Her opponent danced his way into the ring. Brianna didn't understand what dancing had to do with boxing but then again the was the WVBA nothing made sense.

The match began. Brianna kept her focus on her opponent. Of course her opponent danced around the ring. She didn't think her opponent was taking the fight seriously. Which in that case made it much easier for her. Or so she thought. She threw her first punch only to have it blocked by Disco Kid. A punch from Disco Kid aimed for Brianna's face but she easily blocked it. She countered the attack with a jab successfully landing it on his jaw.

She smirked. A series of punches were thrown at Disco Kid, none of them missed. The final punch knocking him out. The ten count started. Disco got back up on 6. The two fighters prepared to fight again. The time read 1 minute 15 seconds. The fight continued on. Brianna blocked every punch Disco threw at her. Disco threw a strong punch to her nose, unfortunately Brianna didn't block it in time. She got clocked in the nose which started dripping blood. The bell rung to declare the first match over.

Brianna walked back to her corner where Little Mac was waiting for her. He wiped the blood from her nose. "Listen, Brianna if your attacks are blocked you're gonna tire yourself out that's going to get you hit. Look for any open spots and then unleash your power." He told her. The second round started up. Brianna took the advice.Mac gave her and took her time to map out the open spots of her opponent. Her nose started bleeding again but she kept fighting. She blocked every attack Disco threw her way.

She then unleashed her full power. Every attack was landed on Disco. He then fell onto the ground where the ten count as started again. He got back up on number 9. Brianna realized it was getting harder for her opponent to get up after she knocked him down. Every punch Brianna threw still were successful. Disco kid wouldn't be able to disco for while after she was done with him.

She threw a final punch to his face when sent Disco Kid spinning like a pinball machine. The ref ruled a total knockout. Brianna won the match. She only had one more match before the minor circuit championship match. After the fight she went back to the locker room to congratulate Disco Kid for his fighting. He seemed to have no qualms toward her win. He even offered to teach her some dance moves.

The day for the final championship came. Brianna was now up against the minor circuit champion, King Hippo. Not much was known about King Hippo other than the fact he might have came from an island in the South Pacific and the fact that he was huge in size. She climbed into the ring for the match to start. Suddenly the ground shook with every step. King Hippo walked into the ring and made a noise unknown to everyone. Nervousness crept into Brianna's chest as she looked at her opponent. The guy had to be at least 500 pounds at best. He was literally 20 times her size.

The fight started. Brianna watched closely for any open spots. She threw the first jab and was successful and making contact but didn't seem to faze her opponent. She knew she was in for a fight. This guy was definitely not like the last few boxers. Brianna wasn't even sure this boxer was even human. Her next few punches had the same effect nothing. Hippo threw one of his Hippo hugs at her and landed the attack on both sides of her head. Brianna was dazed but not knocked down but what she didn't expect was the next attack which landed at the top of her head. This did make her fall to the floor. The ten count started on her. Brianna was dizzy and disoriented. She felt like there were stars around her head. She shook off the feeling and got back up. The fight continued with 1 minute of the first round left. Her face was now puffy with a bruise forming.

She threw a series of punches with all but one successful. The round was over. Brianna walked back to her corner still a little dazed. "Ok Brianna, Hippo's weak spot is his belly so aim all of your punches at his belly and he will fall." Little Mac told her. She got back up for the second round. Brianna focused of aiming for the stomach. Every punch she threw she hit the stomach not a single punch missed. She found it rather funny due to the fact his pants fell down with every punch. The fight felt like it was lasting forever. Brianna started to feel tired and frustrated. Every punch she landed felt like she was punching him with feathers.

She found her strength and unleashed her fill power. She started alternating punches to the face and the belly. A final punch landed to Hippos stomach. He stumbled backwards eventually falling out of the ring. Brianna raised her hand up in victory. Her face was swollen and her lip was busted but she had won the minor circuit championship. Little Mac pulled her into a hug. "I'm proud of you Brianna, you stuck in there and won that championship, great job." Said Mac. She was.awarded the championship belt which she put around her waist. She had to clip it tight as this was a men's belt and didn't fit normally around her tiny waist.

After many pictures and interviews, she walked back to the locker room with an ice pack to her face. No one knew where King Hippo went and no one knew how to get in contact with him. It didn't matter to Brianna because she was now the minor circuit champion. She knew this was only the beginning. The world circuit championship was a long way ahead of her.
