Chapter 15 - Chapter 14 - Aaron Levi vs Edwardo Espinso

After Mr. Syvone made his announcement, along with Jeremy ran into the locker room. The next two men stepped up to continue to determine the lineup. Aaron stood at the right side bouncing and shaking his arms with his hair still maintaining a wild messy look on it. Edwardo was mostly stretching and doing a couple of jabs before Mr. Syvone walked into the middle of the ring.

"In the right corner, we have Aaron Levi," Mr. Syvone said as Aaron kicked open the cage door before doing a front flip to excite the crowd up a bit. "His opposition to the left of me is Edwardo Espino," Edwardo flung open the door as he stepped into the ring with a similar crazy look on his face as Aaron. Both men begin to walk into the middle. Aaron begins to crack his knuckles as he is waiting for Mr. Syvone to start the match, he looks directly at Edwardo. Edwardo looks at Mr. Syvone as he is getting stared at by Aaron. Mr. Syvone steps a bit away from the two. "SET, GO!"

Both men started by moving toward each other with hands up ready to strike. This more upbeat tempo is what the crowd was waiting for because they begin to feel excited watching it. Both men were quickly moving around each, occasionally throwing jabs at the other. They were also occasionally faking a punch or step to get the other to react so they could get into a more favorable position. It was mostly Aaron that was doing these fakes, Edwardo was just standing not trying to fall for them. Edwardo casually would lower himself, faking as if he was going to grab at Aaron's legs to get him to misstep. After a couple of attempts of Edwardo faking going to Aaron's leg, he gave him a knee into his face. Edwardo moved back a bit as blood began to leak down onto the floor from his nose. Edwardo looked at his hand as he stepped back, and his expression grew more furious at his opponent for what he did to him. Edwardo began to quickly move forward, Aaron looked flummoxed about this sudden shift. Edwardo throw a ton of punches at Aaron as he was trying to dodge them to the best that he can, but he got hit a couple of times luckily it was at his body, not his face. Aaron eventually got away from Edwardo's onslaught. Aaron then began to throw his own punches at Edwardo. He looks as if he barely got affected by the countless hard punches he received. Edwardo was looking as if he was not even trying to dodge Aaron's punches. Aaron was punching Edwardo in the jaw but he tanked the hits as it was a light slap in the face. Edwardo then punched Aaron in the face which looked to actually have an effect on him as he almost fell down but he did a flip to get himself back up. Edwardo looked surprised at what he did but stopped that expression as he continued to attempt more punches. Aaron and Edwardo kept dodging and attempting punches at each other until Mr. Syvone stepped in to end the match.

It took some time for both to fully separate from each other. "Alright, you two break it up, you guys can beat the shit out of each other later," Mr. Syvone said as he walked in to make sure the two of them actually walked to their corners.

Aaron looked at his hand as he walked over to the trainers. "Is your hand okay?" The trainer asked as Aaron sat down on the stool.

"It is okay, but fuck it hurts more than I thought it would be," Aaron said as he puts his hand out for the trainer to take care of. "I swear that motherfucker probably beat a pitbull with his bare hands and has a metal plate in his jaw."

The trainer laughed as he heard what was just said. "Okay your hand should be better now, man," The trainer said as Aaron got back up from the stool and began to walk forward.

"Hey Edwardo, you ready to keep going?" Aaron said, trying to annoy his opponent. "Or do you get more painkillers in your ass to not feel the strength of these hands?"

Edwardo looked irritated as he stood back up and walked closer to the middle. "You shut your fucking mouth before I beat your ass some more," Edwardo said as Mr. Syvone stepped in between them.

"Can you both shut up, I am about to start the next round so you guys can just go at each other," Mr. Syvone said, annoyed by what he has to deal with. "Are you two ready and I better not see some dirty ass shit from either one of you, got it?" Both men nodded their heads in agreement. "SET, GO!"

Both men continued to get on with their more head-strong type of approach. They were just stepping forward or in angles trying to look for positions that either one of them can use to win this match. Edwardo was standing there with his head up moving his head all around, side to side, up and down. Aaron was mostly just keeping his guard up, observing his opponent's movement. Edwardo tried to throw a couple of jabs, but Aaron looked to be prepared for it. He lowered his stance and drove his head into Edwardo's stomach and it caused him to get the air sapped right out of his lungs. Aaron stood up as he grabbed his legs to raise Edwardo up into the air as proceeded to bring him down so that he could try to end this fight. As Edwardo's body got hit onto the mat, He looked to have temporarily lost the will to get up as Aaron went down to throw some punches. As Edwardo got hit with a punch, he snapped out of it and put up his guard as he tried to figure out a way to get himself back up to continue the fight on his feet. He began to roll himself onto his stomach as Aaron kept yanking on him to bring him closer. Edwardo kept moving around more and more until he finally got the position he wanted. He laid flat on his stomach as Aaron began to put pressure by grabbing at the wrists to not allow them to help him get balance. Edwardo kept rolling his wrist to try to lessen the hold Aaron had on them, but Aaron looked comfortable even with the attempts. Edwardo kept attempting it even though it looks like it is not working.

Aaron began to laugh through it all, even though part of it was slurred due to the mouthguard. "Come on, motherfucker, I had better challenges in high school when it comes to this position," Aaron said, taunting his opponent with a wide grin on his face.

Edwardo began to have that anger he showed once flared up as he slammed his hands onto the floor, Aaron let go before it could hurt him. Edwardo, after releasing the grip that was limiting him, forced his back into Aaron to create space for him to get to his feet. Aaron was trying to bring back down the wild beast, but it was hardly doing anything to him. Edwardo finally got back up on his feet and turned around to attempt to beat the trash talker, but Aaron thought he had a plan. Aaron ducked as he attempted to take his opponent back down but Edwardo looked more prepared than before as he tried to knee him. Aaron dodged the attempt as he rolled out of the way and into a very low stance. Aaron had his left knee down with the right knee more up as he had his left arm down for balance and the other one was up ready to start grabbing at anything. Edwardo along with the crowd looked surprised at the stance that Aaron got himself into. Edwardo approaches his opponent with caution as he didn't know what to expect from him. Aaron kept moving forward, wanting his opponent to react to his movements. Aaron kept switching the look along with reaching at the ankles of his opponent as Edwardo kept moving. Aaron begins to smile a bit more as he looks to enjoy himself for doing this to his opponent. They kept moving around each other till Mr. Syvone stepped in to end the second round for this match. Both men walked to their corners, Aaron still keeping a wide grin on his face, Edwardo looked more tired as he sat on the stool while he grabbed a water bottle. Edwardo was catching his breath as the trainer was treating him. Aaron on the other hand was looking still full of energy as he stands on the stool before he jumps down to sit down for the trainer. Both men were sitting as they were getting treated.

Adrian looked at both of the men then at Martin. "Aaron is probably going to win this match," Adrian said out of the blue.

"What makes you think that Edwardo has been getting a lot of hits off at Aaron and plus he looks less hurt," Martin said, trying to argue with Adrian.

"True but one thing about that is Edwardo has been using a lot of energy using his attacks at Aaron. He is beginning to look more tired if Aaron can keep holding out then he can probably win this fight," Adrian said as he was looking at the ring where Aaron is looking full of energy in comparison to Edwardo that seems to be breathing more heavily.

"True but we would see," Martin said as he shrugged at Adrian. The bigger of the two men pulled out a bunch of one-dollar bills and began to count them.

"Want to bet twelve dollars on this match?" Adrian asked with a grin on his face.

"Fuck your twelve dollars, I do not want to lose more money because of your big ass self," Martin said irritated as he is hearing Adrian begin to laugh at what he was hearing. "Besides, Mr. Syvone is walking back into the middle."

Mr. Syvone walked back to his usual spot in the middle and looked at both of the men sitting on the stools. Both Edwardo and Aaron got up and walked to the middle. Edwardo was slower than Aaron who was doing it in more of a bouncy manner. "Are both of you guys ready to fight?" Both men nodded in response. "SET, GO!"

Both men go back into their fight as both men tried to move at each other Edwardo was moving slower due to fatigue but Aaron was moving even slower but it looked like it was from choice rather than some physical limitation from the match. Aaron's smile began to flare even more as if he was like that, seeing a man slowing down due to his own mistake. Edwardo looked to have also realized this as he began to use whatever energy he had left to try to win this fight. He kept moving forward and threw a lot of punches at his opponent that was taunting him with his smiling face. Aaron was just dodging the punches with his foot movement and his heading moving wildly to not get hit. Edwardo still was just pressing forward as his anger was increasing more and more. Aaron however kept smiling and waited until Edwardo overextended for a punch. Aaron tripped up his opponent by kicking the back of Edwardo's right leg and it caused him to fall, getting his back on the ground. Edwardo hit the ground accompanied by the sounds of the loud thud of his body. Aaron began to step hard on his opponent causing the man to not put most of his guard up. Aaron flung himself on top of the man as he continued to punch at his opponent. Edwardo was doing his best to try to stay in the fight, he kept his hands up to his face to lower the possibility of him being hit. Aaron was plumbing Edwardo with all the energy he had left in the tank. Aaron was delivering punches, and most of them were hitting the man. Edwardo was getting hit over and over until Mr. Syvone stepped in to stop the match. Aaron got up jumping up and down in excitement as the crowd applauded. It was not for Aaron it was for Edwardo getting up under his own power as he walked to the winner with his hand open. Aaron looked at the man as he slowly stopped being as expressive as he was. He reached his hand up and shook it which caused the crowd's applause to increase even more. Edwardo walked out of the ring as Aaron walked to Mr. Syvone to do his announcements.

"The winner for the Featherweight division is Aaron Levi!" The crowd cheers as Mr. Syvone is speaking. "Hey, calm down, we still have more fights to go through. You got more chances to scream and shit. For example in Lightweight, we got Demetrius McCoy against Darren Odom!"
