Chapter 12 - Chapter 11 - Determining the Finals

Mr. Syvone looked to his trainers after he declared the intermission. "How much time do you think we need? Five minutes?"

"Yeah, if we can make it quick," Adam said as he was heading towards the door. The trainers all went into the room and grabbed eight fighter shorts in various sizes with the MC initial on them, eight plastic cups, and eight needles.

"Ok, good," Mr. Syvone said. "Order them for each weight class and after we declare the winners of the finals."

"Want us to take them to the bathroom to do the needed testing?" Greg asked as he and the other trainers finished getting the supplies ready.

"Yes, and I think we will be ready, so I am going to announce the next fight," Mr. Syvone said, looking for a response. Scott gave a thumbs up and that is all Mr. Syvone needed. Mr. Syvone walked up and loudly cleared his throat to get the attention of the fighters. "Ok, the intermission is over, we will continue with welterweight fights. The first of the two fights is Nico Coleman against Emilio Wrage."

Nico walked up to the ring and shortly after Emilio Wrage got into the ring. He was built similar to Demetrius in height but looks to be a little bit more muscular. The difference is that he is a Mexican man but with lighter skin color, a long set of hair that is up to his shoulders, and a dark very thick-looking mustache. Both men were in their corners and Mr. Syvone walked to the middle.

"Are both of you guys ready?" Mr. Syvone asked as both men gave him a nod. "SET, GO!"

Emilio immediately went to the offense to try to end the fight, it caught Nico off guard by how fast he was moving. Nico avoided this sneak attack by the opponent and he immediately gave Emilio a couple of punches to the face. Emilio looked like he did not react to these hits which made Nico a little bit surprised. Then Nico stepped back a little bit and gave a grin to Emilio. Emilio gave one too and they kept going at it.

Jeremy is now overrun by Martin and Adrian as this fight is happening. He leans over to the two young guys. "This is quite an interesting matchup," Jeremy said as he looked at the two guys.

"I completely agree with you, Jeremy," Martin said as he watched both Emilio and Nico keep moving and punching each other. "This is the battle between an unskilled armored warrior and the tactical long ranged fighter."

"True, this will probably be a great fight," Adrian said as he continued to look at the fight, not glancing at the other two. Then Emilio gives a very hard punch to Nico knocking him to the ground. "HOLY SHIT!"

As Emilio descended upon Nico, he moved away to allow Emilio to get to the ground. Nico then started moving around as Emilio kept trying to move to land punches on Nico. Nico eventually got back to his feet and tried to bait Emilio. It worked as Emilio tried to throw a knee shot at Nico's head. Nico avoided it and swept at the back of Emilio's leg and he landed backward on his back. Nico immediately went up and grabbed Emilio's left arm and pulled it into his chest as he wrapped his legs to place pressure around his opponent's neck. He then proceeded to use force to make Emilio tap out. It was after some time until Mr. Syvone eventually stepped in after seeing Emilio's face turn slightly purple. Mr. Syvone walked up and tapped Nico to let go of Emilio which he did. Nico helped up Emilio and walked him to the trainers as that was happening, Mr. Syvone walked up to the middle of the ring.

"One of the finalists for Welterweight is Nico Coleman! Next up to determine his opponent will be between Jerome Lue and Elias Caballero."

Jerome walked up to the ring with his smaller dreads bouncing around with each step he takes. Elias walked up to the ring with almost a kind of sheepish expression, almost as if he was kind of nervous about this match. As both fighters stood in their corners, Elias seemed to be praying a bit and Jerome looked bored. Mr. Syvone walked back to the middle.

"Ready, fighters?" Mr. Syvone asked both men. Both of them gave Mr. Syvone a nod, and Elias gave him a little bit slower than the other one. "SET, GO!"

Jerome started moving towards Elias while he stood in the corner mostly trying to breathe. Jerome got close enough to prepare to throw a punch at Elias. Elias almost immediately dodged and moved out of the corner. Elias did not punch but kept moving back and the cycle kept going for a while.

"This shit is going to be the most boring, I am calling it," Adrian said as the crowd begins to boo. "See I knew it."

As the boos continue, Jerome continues to become more and more enraged as Elias is just causally slipped past every punch he threw. Elias just kept moving and moving. Even Mr. Syvone looked bored at what he was seeing. Jerome looked to become more and more tired as he keeps trying to trap Elias for a smooth knockout. Elias looked like he was under more pressure from his opponent and the boos that he was receiving. He did one more sidestep to avoid Jerome's punches and threw a punch of his own at him. It shocked the crowd and they grew excited from just that one punch. Jerome looked the most shocked out of all of the people. He became even more enraged from it and became more reckless with his punches. Elias did what he does best, dodging and throwing a punch. Jerome became even madder as he is getting occasionally punched. Does not help that at this point, the crowd began to find this fight funny because it looks like a matador teasing around with a bull. Eventually, Elias began to smile about what he was doing to his opponent. Elias then began to throw a swarm of punches and kicks to the point where Jerome flew to the floor, Mr. Syvone stepped in, and the match was over.

"The Welterweight match is between Nico Coleman and Elias Caballero in a surprising fashion. For the Middleweight, the first of two matches to determine the finals will be between Martin Cambio and Alexander Smolls," Mr. Syvone said as he was walking back to the middle.

"Martin, you got this man!" Adrian said as he hypes up his friend to do good in his fight. Martin looked excited as he runs up to his side of the ring and get his helmet on along with his shoes. Martin got into the ring to see a very tall and lanky man with a ponytail.

Adrian begins to laugh. "Yo Martin, this man looks like he just got out of a heavy metal concert, this should be an easy as fuck win for you."

"Shit I will try," Martin said as he stepped into the ring. Alexander looked mad just entering the ring. He stood in his corner and started to slap his face for a while after he put his helmet on.

Mr. Syvone walks back to the middle of the ring. "Are both of you guys ready to fight? Both fighters nod but Alexander did it with more aggression in comparison to Martin. "SET, GO!"

Martin tried to move more at an angle to be able to observe his opponent. Alexander immediately went straight to where Martin was. Martin was a little caught off guard by this idea. Alexander just kept moving towards Martin and began to throw some jabs. Martin dodged for a bit until he threw a kick, but Alexander stepped back. Martin looked ridiculous as he completely whiffed a kick attempt at Alexander. Adrian laughed a bit after seeing this. Martin maintained his composure as he kept moving and dodging Alexander's attacks. Alexander eventually swept Martin causing an opening for a couple of punches. As Martin got hit, he looked flustered that he allowed this to happen to him. Alexander kept hitting Martin with a mix of punches and kicks. It did not appear to hurt Martin. Adrian noticed something off about how these hits were delivered.

"Hey Jeremy," Adrian said, trying to get Jeremy's attention. "Does the angles look weird to you?"

Jeremy looked at what Alexander was doing. Using his long flexible limbs to make his attempts to hit but bend them if it seemed like it would miss. "Yeah, it does look weird. That probably explains why his attacks seemed weaker than they should be. If he did not try to bend some of the hits and punch straight up, I bet Martin would be on the ropes right now."

"Oh, believe me, Martin is going to be fine," Adrian said as Martin began to look more serious. "Look at his intensity."

"Do you think that will be enough?" Jeremy asked Adrian as Martin looked like he had enough and threw one hard punch that looked to stumble Alexander. "Yeah, you are right Adrian."

Adrian smiled as he watched Martin throw punches at the tall lanky opponent and all looking to do serious effects. "Oh, YEAH MARTIN. BEAT THAT LAMPPOST!" Adrian yelled as Martin delivered the finishing punch. Knocking down Alexander as Mr. Syvone stepped in to end the fight.

"Martin Cambio, the rookie, moved to the finals for Middleweight to face either Pablo Garcia or Muhammad Patel," Mr. Syvone said as Pablo Garcia cleared the cage as if it was a fence for him.

Pablo stands very tall in comparison to Mr. Syvone. "I am already ready," Pable said as he walked back to his corner. He sat himself down in a cross shape, placed his right arm on his right knee, and kept his head on his palm waiting for his opponent to get into the ring with him. Muhammad walked up to the ring, look like he did a small prayer, and entered the ring. He is a strong-built Indian man whose main feature was his facial hair.

"Damn, now that is a beard," Adrian said as he stroked his smoothed chin.

"I agree," Martin said as he sees Muhammad looks to be hyping himself up.

Mr. Syvone looked at both men. "Are you two ready to go?" Muhammad shook his head as Pablo begins to rise showing off his insane height in comparison to his opponent. "SET, GO!"

Muhammad moved forward to try to close the distance between his giant opponent. Pablo looked like he knew that this was going to happen so he spun away to the side to jump a little bit and slammed his long leg right in his opponent's face. The power of this kick was intense it caused Muhammad to land straight on his back, and it even surprised the crowd. Mr. Syvone walked up to check on Muhammad and Muhammad seemed to be slowly waking up.

"Let me guess," Muhammad began as he picked himself back up. "I lost?"

"Yes you did, Muhammad," Mr. Syvone said with sadness in his voice. Pablo looked to have already gotten out of the ring. Muhammad looked sad in his defeat and left the ring with his head down. Mr. Syvone walked to the middle. "The finals for Middleweight will be between Martin Cambio and Pablo Garcia. Now to move on to Light Heavyweight, the first match is between Issac Wallace and Cody Barnes."

Issac stepped onto the ring already looking ready to go at it in this fight. Cody looked like a redneck, with a patchy brown beard. He was lankier, not built but looked like he had some strength. Cody mostly stood still and awkwardly, it was mostly due to his blank soulless-looking eyes. Cody gave a slow nod to show that he is ready.

Mr. Syvone turned to Issac. "Issac are you ready?" Mr. Syvone asked. Issac gave Mr. Syvone a nod in response. "SET, GO!"

Cody mostly stood there in his stance watching Issac slowly move up with his hands up ready to punch. Issac throws a punch at Cody but he dodges it. Cody stepped in and threw a punch around Issac's side. It looked like it affected him.

"A kidney shot?" Jeremy said disgustedly. "I mean they work but really."

Issac looked like he was in pain as Cody was trying to hit him. Issac, after blocking a couple of punches, snapped out of it and threw a strong punch at Cody's stomach. Cody, to the surprise of the crowd, took the hit and threw his punches. Issac got hit in the face a couple of times but he looked to be enjoying this match-up. Issac and Cody just began throwing punches at each other. It was equal for a while until Issac started putting more force into them and began to overpower Cody, it ended with him knocking him down. Cody attempted to get back up, but Issac descended upon Cody to get the knockout. Mr. Syvone stepped in to end the fight before anything bad would happen.

"Winner for one of the Light Heavyweight fight is Issac Wallace! The next match will be between Josiah Gonzales against Shawn Sasperages."

Josiah and Shawn both immediately went up to the ring to get their fight started. Both men are built very differently. Josiah is appeared to be slightly shorter than the average man but made up for it with his wide body. Shawn was a taller man, closer to Issac's height, but built better than Cody. Mr. Syvone walked back to the middle to look at both of the men.

"Are both of you guys, ready?" Mr. Syvone asked as he looked at both men. Both of them nodded at Mr. Syvone. "SET, GO!"

Josiah began to move first, but it was slower in comparison to Shawn that moved pretty quickly for his size. Shawn immediately started throwing kicks which Josiah seemed unprepared for. After a couple of hard kicks to the face. Josiah was swiftly knocked down and Mr. Syvone stepped in to not only end but make an announcement.

"The Light Heavyweight match will be between Issac Wallace versus Shawn Sasperages. We will take a short break and we will start the finals beginning with Landon Harris against Jamarcus Jeffery!"
