"THEN LETSSSS! FIGHT!!!!!!"
Chungsan backed up and towards the edge of the ring, Jeok was already into something that looked like a boxing variation stance.
Though Gyun didn't recognize it, Solhee did, it was the infamous peekaboo boxing style. The style that made the boxing legend Mike Tyson the legend he was.
An infighting boxing stance designed for closing the distance with a strong defense and unleashing powerful offensive attacks when close.
On the contrary Dohyun's stance was just lowering himself and leaning forward with open hands slightly curled. Like an animal, he charged forward with quick movements.
-he won't be able to get through a tight guard like Jeok's. Not to mention takedowns of any sort against someone as large and strong as Jeok are risky for anybody but with that small size, it's suicidal. So he's going to have to either fight dirty which I purposely left some loopholes for or he's going to grapple-.
But Gyun was immediately proven wrong, as Jeok through a strong 1-2 combination when Dohyun came close.
But the punches never landed
"What the hell?!" Solhee who was near Gyun exclaimed
Everybody was surprised as Jeok stumbled back suddenly, dazed he put up his guard tightly.
Gyun observed -that's very impressive, a reaction time that was already extremely fast sharpened with experience, he slipped both punches closing the distance and used his elbow on Jeok's chin. Not only is this kid showing talent, he's showing the ability to know how to destroy your opponent.-
"But Jeok's going to be careful now, how are you going to handle this?" Gyun muttered under his breath.

Dohyun looked around, -this is it I can make it! This guy he's tough but I'm faster! If I win I can get paid enough to help unni (1) leave that place!-
He charged forward, he saw another punch this one towards his body, -too slow!-. He sidestepped but the punch continued but instead hooked.
Dohyun's body wasn't fast enough to dodge or block it despite seeing it coming.
Dohyun got hit in the side, it hit his liver
"Umph!" He couldn't handle the pain and his legs started to give out. -no wait! Here comes the nex-
but follow up punch had already landed, this one straight to the stomach.
"Blarghh!"
Dohyun fell to his knees and vomited, he felt the eyes of everybody, they were looking down on him.
"That fast!? He challenged the number three and lost like that?!"
"Street trash will be street trash!"
"Lol"
"Urgh he vomited everywhere it's making me sick!"
"You piece of shit! I lost money on you!"
Dohyun was just starting to get back up as the announcer, announced the results.
"Jeok will keep his number three position, by TKO 21 seconds into the match! Dohyun Jung is hereby disqualified! Well we'll be having a brief intermission as we clean this up!" He turned to Dohyun, "hey go sit down, enjoy some of the pizza and food we ordered."
Dohyun Jung headed out of the ring and walked to Minjun Jung his best friend and older brother who was a year older then him.
"That's rough man, don't listen to them,you did good out there the other guy was just better, just forget about it. The pizza got here a few minutes ago, I snagged you a couple slices. Eh? Want some it'll cheer you up!"
Dohyun reached out to grab a slice from Minjun's plate but hesitated. Minjun's arms were thin and he looked tired, "why don't you have some first hyung-nim (2)?"
Minjun smiled, but it looked sad, "don't worry Dohyun I'll eat later after the fight. I don't want to throw up like you." He patted his shoulder.
"On the plus side, it looks like the other guy went easy on you. He could've really messed you up and we wouldn't be able to argue since these fights are basically no rules except for weapons."
Dohyun scoffed, "yeah sure felt like he was going easy". He leaned against a pillar eating a slice of pizza.
Minjun laughed, "well he's a big and strong guy, and your skin and bones ! It was over as soon as he got a hit in. But don't worry your shying-nim will win the top spot." He said smiling as he pointed at himself.
"Yeah that new heads got guts that's for sure, but I'd watch out there's no way in hell. That someone who puts their position on the line isn't strong."
"Heh! Don't you remember I'm the former Cheng gang number 2, I could beat that guy with my eyes closed. Besides you know we can't lose."
"Yeah, you're right"
An awkward silence between the two arose, after a while Dohyun broke the tension.
"Well your competitors look pretty tough, that woman is particularly dangerous."
"Yeah, she reads as someone like us but more dangerous. But those other guys ain't bad, though the guy in the cap and mask seems a cut above the guys. But that girl still seems to be more dangerous."
Chungsan began making his way to the ring, as some guys with mops left.
"Well, looks like they're resuming, good luck, up next is the number one position."
