“Ladies and gentlemen! We are proud to present to you now, the SECOND match of Izuna’s BeatRush Boxing! Our debut match was truly something special, a record-setting bout destined for the history books. But now, we aim to bring you even more spectacular boxing entertainment. Two new lovely ladies are here, ready and waiting to kick off another dustup with BeatRush flair. To that end, let’s get things underway!”
The lighting of the gym dimmed for a few moments, then burst to full power, bathing the ring and its two inhabitants in sterling light. The bold, familiar voice of the ring announcer flowed through the gym’s overhead speaker system, transitioning smoothly to fighter introductions. Over in the red corner, a young woman smiled softly as she used a blue-and-white dragon print glove to brush a few strands of long, silky black hair from her face.
“Introducing first, fighting from of the red corner! Coming from the Land of the Rising Sun, out of Nagoya, Japan…standing five feet seven inches and one hundred forty four pounds, please welcome Naokooo, “The Sniperrrrr”, Taaa-Chi-Baaa-Naaaaaa!”
Naoko smiles brightly, waving at the camera as she saunters a couple steps toward it. The cameraman makes sure to get a lensful, taking her in with plenty of closeups. After the camera gets just about every angle on Naoko it can manage, the view pans over to the opposite corner, revealing a patiently standing Esmeralda. Her facial expression and body language are both somewhat difficult to read as she stands at the ready, her glance squarely on her opponent.
“Her opponent, fighting out of the blue corner, an exotic beauty in her own right, hailing from Valencia, Spain…known as the “Shadow Rose”, she stands five feet nine inches tall, and weighs in at one hundred fifty four pounds, give it up for Esmerrraldaaaa Montoooyaaaaaa!”
Esmeralda points a glance at the camera as it zooms in on her, but rather than offer flirty poses, she shifts on her hips to one side while partially flexing one arm, the muscles in her bicep tightening. The cameraman lingers, giving the viewers plenty to see. Then, the boxers step out from their corners, meeting in the middle of the ring as the announcer once again explains the rules of the bout.
“As with the debut bout, the fighters will box for a scheduled five rounds, with victory coming by way of either knockout, technical knockout or decision. Once again, there will be no interruption in the absence of a referee. And finally, the bell can save a downed fighter at the end of a round. The ladies are ready to throw down, so without any further ado, let’s get this fight started!”
During the reading of the rules, Naoko and Esmeralda stand firm only a short distance from each other, one never taking her eyes off the other.
“This will be a good match…” Naoko said, confidence apparent in her voice. “…I can tell already. I must say, it certainly looks like you can take a punch or ten, senorita.”
Esmeralda’s eyes widened only very slightly as she caught Naoko’s use of a Spanish word.
“Well then, Tachibana-san…” Esmeralda replied, narrowing her eyes as she flipped Naoko’s early mind game right back around. “...Let us find out how many you can take. Ganbatte.”
With the verbal pleasantries out of the way, the boxers offered their gloves to one another, Esmeralda raising hers first. After a firm glove tap, the two separated, returning to their respective corners to prepare for the bell that would start the fight.
