Mimi POV | Months Later| 4:02 P.M.
As y'all already know me, Tay, Kash, and Karuso all moved out the US to Dubai, What y'all didn't know was placed into the Super Welterweight boxing division. So yall probably like why ? When Kash was a wanted fugitive and we're on the run blah blah blah. Yea well Mr.Escobar's assistant figured the proper attention will number one bring in clean money as long as Kash continues to win her fights. And idea number was it'll keep the FEDs off Kash's ass. But yea so far Kash has had 11 fights in the last 8 months. And the last three fights were televised. That definitely had raked in cash. Kash has 11 wins, 9 were knockouts, and no losses. Y'all should see the vigorous morning workouts and daily training she does. Lately though, Kash has not really been much of herself. Usually she'd be moody self or just distant. But not it's like nothing.. Just nothing. It's as if nothing affects her like they used to. Even Kash's personal trainer and cornerman 'Uncle Vincenzo' noticed the difference in her. He said Kash's aggresive levels in her offensive increased. Something is bothering her. I just don't know what.
Sitting in Kash's in-home gym as her and her uncle Vincenzo were going over combos and speed.
Karuso walked inside wearing some black dress slacks and a white dress shirt with an undone tie around his neck, "Mimi you know how to tie a tie cause Tay don't" He said walking over to me "No I don't- Vinzo do you know how to tie a tie ?" I asked him and he turned around nodding his head yes. He stopped the padwork he was doing with Kash. "Take five" He said patting her on the shoulder and she walked off to the bench where I was an sat down next to me drinking water out her bottle.
Karuso walked over to Vinzo letting him tie his tie then he rushed back out the gym outside.
"Where he's going ?" I asked Kash grabbing a towel that was next to me wiping the sweat off her forehead "He's got a job interview... I think" She answered standing back to her shadow boxing throwing killer combos.
Once Vinzo finished tieing Karuso's tie him and Kash went back to training.
Hopefully this all pays off like usual. Tomorrow at eight o'clock sharp is fight night. Kash is going against the big ass girl from Saudi Arabia whose name is Hana Kouri. If you ask me the bitch look like a damn man.
Next Day | 8:12 P.M.
Everybody sat on the first row outside the rink. Kash has been starting off strong throwing some big right hooks almost knocking Kouri out but that bitch is definitely hard bodied. We were in the middle of round 6 and Kash wasn't fighting like how she does.. Ya know her aggressive style began slowing down. Not only was she decreasing but Kouri's punches were beginning to sound heavy and very impacting.
"Lucchese !! KEEP YOUR HANDS UP COME ON !!" Vinzo yelled demonstrating and all making me and Tay them laugh.
Following Vinzo's order she held her fists up now just circling around the rink fending off Kouri and her heavy blows. Kash was tired. Kouri caught Kash throwing a left hook to the face leaving a gash on Kash's right eyebrows and her eye started getting puffy.
Kash held herself up pushing Kouri off her and threw a right jab weaving Kouri's counter punch then the two went into a lethal exchanges of blows. From left to right jabs, hooks, and uppercuts.
Kouri threw a right jab and Kash threw stepped back stumbling regaining her balance throwing a four punch combo knocking Kouri down but she stood back up.
Finally round 6 came to an end and Kash walked to her corner sitting down on the stool.
"Kash what the hell is going on out there you're doing good offensively but ya defense has weakened" Vinzo said pulling out her mouth piece running water down her bloodied face then cared after the gash while two other people were icing her body and put vaseline on her face. "Man Uncle this fight doesn't feel fair" Kash complained shaking her head "What do you mean Kash ?" He asked and she didn't say anything she just started breathing in heavily from her nose exhaling from her mouth. Her uncle examined her face. "You need to duck and dodge Kash sheesh.. Fucking eye is closed shut nearly" He said but in reality her face was beginning to bruise up rather fast.
"Can you see ?" He asked and she didn't say anything "Kash can you see ?!" He asked again "Y-Yea I can see !!" She answered spitting water into a bucket I couldn't help the bloody water that left her mouth.
"Kash you're looking at me but it doesn't look like you're paying attention" He said rubbing the vaseline looking cream under her eyes "Are you ?!" He asked snapping her out of it.
"Yea I am" She answered tapping her gloves together as he placed her mouth piece back into her mouth.
"You're a stronger puncher than she is use that to your advantage.. Just breeze through this round.. Hit do NOT GET HIT OK ?! Go straight to the body the work your way uptop cause once those knees go baby we got it !! Vai a picchiarla !" He said and the bell rung. Kash stood to her feet and Vinzo moved the stool and got out the rink.
The fight continued an following Vinzo's advice Kash maneuvered around the rink throwing wild blows that connected doing much damage to Kouri. Becoming frustrated of Kash's tactic of moving around Kouri became instantly agitated. She threw a left hook and Kash ducked it weaving the right cross counterpunch.
Kash threw a mean left the right jab with a quick uppercut knocking Kouri off balance "THAT'S IT LET'S GO !!" Vinzo yelled clapping as Kash threw back to back body shots then left hook to Kouri's jaw having her drop to the mat in the days.
"5.. 4.. 3.. 2- !!" The ref counted down but this strong bitch got back up.
She stood back to her corner and the ref made sure she was fine soon but shortly continuing the fight.
9th Round
Unlike earlier rounds this round was literally destroying Kash. This Kouri bitch must've took some energy drinks or damn steroids cause every blow she throws they definitely taking a toll on Kash. Her left eye was closed completely shut, her lip was swollen and bleeding, and her right cheekbone was inflamed.
Kash held her fists up blocking the many blows Kouri threw.
"Lucchese is in trouble !! Her knees are beginning to give way" The commentator said.
He wasn't wrong either.
"Man this some bullshit" Tay angrily mumbled shaking her head "Who you fuckin tellin man Tay look I swear that bitch gloves weighted" Karuso said and we watched every crucial blow that went to Kash's face and slowly but surely Kash's knees began to give way.
The ref got between Kash and Kouri as the two were staggering going blow for blow "You sure you want to continue ?" The ref asked Kash with his hands on each side of her face examining her. Kash shook her head yes but it was clear her body physically couldn't make it. "Are you sure ? Can you see ?!" He asked looking into her eyes.
Kash other eye began to close shut.
Trusting Kash he stepped aside continuing the fight.
Kash threw a mean right hook to the body then left hook to Kouri's temple and Kouri threw a body blow to Kash's liver.
"Damn" We all said in unison.
Kash folded dropping down kneeling on her right knee holding her side.
I stood up watching Kash still kneeling over as the ref was talking to her "Kash come on !!" I yelled hoping to cheer her on but I knew something was wrong.
The ref rubbed at Kash's shoulders and I read his lips as he said "Im not gon stand and watch you tear yourself up you're an excellent boxer young lady but you gotta call this fight a draw.. They gon give this girl the fight but you know you won" He said and waved his hands signifying he was stopping the fight.
Vinzo ran into the rink over to Kash helping her up.
Kouri and her people started celebrating all happy and shit. I out to clock that big hoe against her damn head.
Kash sat down at the stool looking more discouraged if anything. I know she's going to be pissed she going home with a unfair loss.
