I Saved The Good Girl And She Saved Me

8: The Fight

Antonio's POV:

The thought kept running through my mind as I sat there.

I like Iris Cooper

I like Iris Cooper

I like Iris Cooper

How did this happen? I was supposed to stay away from her.

I am sitting on the bench rapping my hands. The match is about to begin. I have to get focussed but all I can think about is her.

Focus.

This is your month pay meant.

Focus.

Dario came and sat beside me and he handed me an iPod with some earphones. He put on the song 'Remember The Name' by Fort Miner to get me focused on the fight. I stuck the iPod in the rim of my pants and started bouncing to the beat of the music. I cracked my neck and started sparring on the spot getting prepared.

Dario came in and got me. "It's time." He said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes in response and chuckled at Dario. He's such a character. I looked back at him once more, and entered the ring.

Tonight I'm fighting against one of the goons who was with Black Rose the night when he had the knife to Iris's neck.

It's payback time baby.

"Onnnnn this corner stands at 187 pounds, 6,1 feet tall, Aaaccccee Maximus!" Called the judge.

I jogged on stage pounding my chest showing my toughness while actioning the crown to cheer louder and they did so.

"Annndddd this corner stands at 193 pounds, 6,1 feet tall, Wonderrrrrr Mirasssss!" He shouted.

The crowd cheered as the sick monster climbed into the ring with a slimy smile on his face- the same one he had when he watched Black Rose bring the knife to her neck.

Stay focused.

I shook my head focusing on the fight. I remember the beat of the song and started moving to the beat playing in my head.

Wonder stood in front of me and we both started bouncing on our feet. The ref came up to us and put his arm out and before I knew it we were off.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Fight!" Yells the man with the microphone.

We begin circling each other.

I throw a jab missing, but follow it up with a turning kick to his body. He easily shakes it off and we keep going.

He throws a side kick and I move to the side dodging it while landing a hook to his jaw.

We both keep going.

He came straight forward at me and starts throwing mad punches at my body and face. I throw a leg kick catching him off guard and hurting him then finish with a punch to the nose.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

I totally won the first round.

"Good job keep throwing the same tricks boy!" My coach cheers to me. I nod and they spray some water on my face witch pours down my chest and abs cooling me down. I stand up and go back to the arena. Bill is not a good fighter. He wins street fights because he can use weapons.

"Round 2..."

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Fight!"

We continue the fight throwing various combinations and sometimes getting hit.
