THE SWEETEST SCIENCE

11:39 Valerie_Cross: It's been a few weeks, and a lot of begging but I'm here at Mike's home for our rematch. Last time it was a good bout but he came out on top and it's been on my mind ever since. I know I can win and I want to prove it but first I had to beg and beg for this rematch. Finally I came up with idea of each of us putting in $10,000 in a winner take all match and he finally agreed. It's pretty much my life savings but I'm confident this time I will knock him out cold. I take a deep breath, holding my duffle bag in one hand and I ring the doorbell, my heart racing with excitement at this upcoming match.

11:46 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: bell rings... my door, not in the ring... not yet at least... I go to the door knowing who is coming... finally accepted Val's challenge for a rematch... she was anxious to get a piece of me after I knocked her out... and I am SO game for dancing in the ring with her again... so I accepted... got my part of the purse in cash here, down in the basement where I have set my small ring and we will box again... so I go to the door and open... "good night Valerie how are you doing?" I say

13:47 Valerie_Cross: I roll my eyes at Mike's little joke but smile "Very funny.......I've been well, I hope you have been as well. And I hope your health insurance is up to date because after I'm done with you tonight you'll need it" I laugh then give him a hug. He invited me in and I'm eager to get going "So, ready for round 2? I know I am"

08:23 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you smile when I open the door and hug me while you brag about the outcome of tonight's fight... I pat your shoulder, feeling your strong body so close to mine, smiling too... "you are a champ... and don't worry... I put some money on YOUR health insurance last night... anonimously... not to feel guilty about how bad I am gonna smack you tonight in the ring sweetie... so you are covered..." I say... you then ask em if I am ready... "ready? I am SO ready for you dear"... I lead you to my basement, where all the equipment is set and waiting for us... and the heating is cranked up to maximum...

19:49 Valerie_Cross: I grin as we descend into the basement which is already hot as an oven. I've been training in extreme conditions so I'm prepared. I drop my duffle bag and stretch a bit. I fish out my red 8oz gloves and begin to pull them on. I grin "I hope YOUR insurance is paid up..." I chuckle

08:14 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as we enter the warm basement, you brag again as you take off your boxing gloves... you are really slick and strong, I can see you have improved your physique from our latest fight... I just smile... "I paid for yours too... I have no money problems... gonna earn me 10000 cash easy tonight" I say smiling as I take my shirt off, put on my boxing boots and grab my own 8oz Everlast black gloves

12:14 Valerie_Cross: I slip into the ring and bounce on my toes, shadow boxing a few seconds before going to my corner where I stretch a bit and wait for you to enter. My heart is racing with a mix of fear and excitement. I want to knock you out so badly!!

08:18 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: I see you enter the ring, gloves already on... you shadowbox and I feel the air sounding like a whip when you do some fast punching... I enter the ring going to my corner, steady breath, grabbing my mouthpiece and another for you... I walk towards the center, and extend my rigth glove to touch with yours... and offer you a mouthpiece... "here... you are gonna need it in the close future" I say smiling

11:43 Valerie_Cross: I grin and take the mouth guard, slipping it between my teeth. I pound my gloves together and stretch my neck. I nod to you to show I'm ready and get my gloves up and bounce on my toes as I wait for the bell

09:12 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: I see you are totally confident... look at your muscled frame, no doubt you have been lifting some weights... but I am strong... and i know I can take you down again... you bounce, lifting your gloves, eager to start... I smile... "this is gonna be fun" I say, lifting my own black gloves... bell is about to ring for this only round... that will only end when one of us is KO and cannot get up from the canvas...

10:56 Valerie_Cross: I pound my gloves together in anticipation of the bell. We're both ready and......DING!! I circle to my left and as I do I fire a left hook out towards your jaw then step in and finish with a hard right uppercut to your stomach. I'm grinning, wanting to take the offense to you and keep the pressure on.

10:59 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as the bell rings you move like a flash PSFFF your jab slams my up guard as you come and UGH your upper slams my gut hard... you mean business... that's the idea... we are close now and I USH USH fire a double left jab aiming to your face testing your guard

22:15 Valerie_Cross: I keep my gloves up and feel your jabs smack them but I'm ready and absorb them with no trouble. I keep circling and reset myself and fire a left-right jab combo towards your jaw....PSSSH....PSSSHHH...my arms flexing as my tits bounce with the effort. I keep moving and finish my combo with a left hook towards your ribs...PSHH..

08:07 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: we circle, but this small ring has not much space and it keeps us close... I love that... you move fast adn PFF PFF slam my guard hard qit your jabs... making me lift my guard preparing for UGHH your hard left hook aimed to my ribs that hurts... you hit hard, but I soak it... keep close and answer USH throwing a harsh right cross aimed to your left eye and then going low USH firing a left hook aimed to your gut

14:45 Valerie_Cross: As soon as my hook lands I'm on the move, sliding back and ducking the cross. I circle out of the way of the hook and I keep on my toes and moving around you. I slide in with a left jab at the jaw...PSSHH...then right uppercut to your stomach...NGHH..

08:49 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you are moving slick and fast.. my gloves punch only air and then you are on me again before I can put my guard up properly UGH your jab hits my jaw and UFFF your glove drills into my stomach hurting it bad... but I soak it... so far at least.. lower my head and USH fire a left jab aiming to your face trying to hit it before you put your guard back again

12:07 Valerie_Cross: WHACK!! Your glove hits my cheek and I wince but I knew I wouldn't escape this match untouched. I grit my teeth and keep moving. I quickly circle the opposite way then duck low and fire a right jab at your stomach....PSSHH....my muscles tense as I pop the jab hard. I then follow with a rising left hook towards your jaw..FSSHH...

10:52 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as my glove lands you soak the punch well... but now you know what you are facing... and more to come... but you don't step back, you keep in the close distance and move again attacking my gut UGFFFF your blow lands clear and I grunt with the impact... as your hook follows I move to my right avoiding it and try to USH slam your left side with a hard right hook before you can recover balance

13:08 Valerie_Cross: Ughhh the hook crashes into my side and I feel the impact as it rattles me a bit. I grit my teeth and shove both of my gloves into your chest to back you off of me and give me space. I shift back and reset myself before I sweep to my left and pepper your chin with a right -left jab combo.

10:12 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you eat my hook and I hear a satisfying grunt... you felt it... good... you then uffff push me backwards to give you space to move... then jump forward with your guard perfectly reset... you aim to my chin but you have given me time to cover it and your jabs slam my guard harmlessly... we are close again and I USH fire a left hook aiming to your right side trying to make you a bit slower

13:39 Valerie_Cross: I drop my elbow to eat the hook..Nghh...I feel the sting but I eat it and stay focused on my target. I fire a left hook into your side then immediately follow it up with a right uppercut aiming at your jaw

08:19 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you soak the punch well and are fast like a flash! as you move closer UGHH your hook hits my side hard and then UGH your upper slams my jaw hard jerking my head backwards and making me step back until my back touches the ropes... as that happens I try to regain my guard knowing you are coming at me hard

12:32 Valerie_Cross: I feel confident as I'm landing some blows but I know how good you are so I can't get to cocky. I keep my guard up and step in. I fire a left jab at your jaw, my arm tense as I snap it. I pivot and slam a right hook at your beltline then quickly reset to finish with a left hook to your chin.

13:09 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as you come at me I try to cover the best I can... your left jab UGH slams my jaw like a flash making some sweat drops fly... then UFFF your combo simply smashes me UGHH your hook hitting my gut making me double over to UGH eat your hook right into my face... a perfect combo that stuns me and for a moment my legs fail and I collapse, hitting the canvas with my knees and ending in all fours close to the ropes, near you

13:37 Valerie_Cross: I'm about to follow up when I see you drop to all fours. I keep my guard up and back up and begin to count.."1....2....3...." I'm on guard and ready, knowing that I put you down but you're far from done

13:39 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: ufff uffff... I breath hard, trying to recover... I hear the count, and grunt.... then I hold the upper rope and get up... turn around... look at you, eager to go on... "good combos" I grunt, still panting... "but this is not over yet... not by far..." I lift my gloves... "c'mon, let's go on Val" I say, calling you out

14:58 Valerie_Cross: I grin "I'd be disappointed if you went down that easily.....trust me I'm ready to go" I pound my gloves together and set my guard. I'm good to go but I'm not going to be cocky, you're a dangerous fighter and I can't take you lightly. I circle left then step in with a right hook at your ribs. I then keep moving to my left and pop a left jab towards your chin

10:48 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: I lift my gloves again still a bit dizzy after the knockdown... but my legs hold! you come at me fast UFF slamming my ribs again... soak it and my high guard stops your jab pfff... I move forward head low and try to USH USH hit your body hard with a left hook-right hook combo and staying closer to you to lure you into a good exchangevyt

10:53 Valerie_Cross: You're still tough despite getting knocked down but I expected that. Ughh the first hook catches me and I feel the sting but I'm able to block the second with my elbow. I circle to give myself some space and to keep you moving. I set my guard and fire a left jab - right cross combo towards your chin... PSHH PSGHH...then pivot and pop a left uppercut towards your stomach

10:56 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: my second punch gets blocked and you wisely step aside to give oyu some space.. I pivot to keep myself facing you... guard up... stay in close quarters... then you move and try to hit my chin but my guard is firmly placed and your gloves slam mine... you then move and UFFF slam my gut again with a solid upper... you sure amped your game since our last fight... hurts but I soak it and USH try to answer with a sharp cross right aimed to your left temple before you can put your left up again

11:27 Valerie_Cross: You're still on guard but I manage to tag your stomach. I duck the right and circle to my right and as I'm moving I pop a right jab at your head...pshh and as I keep moving I snap a left hook at your side

11:30 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you duck so fast! though my left deflects your sharp right jab you come in again and UFFF my side gets hit again... I lower my guard a bit to cover my body better and USH USH jab with my left aiming at your face trying to get into the right distance

11:55 Valerie_Cross: The jabs snap my head and I realize I'm standing still. Whap....Whap....my head pops back as I feel the sting. I pound my gloves and slide backwards but circle left. Bouncing on my toes I move and pop a left jab at your jaw then I slide close and snap a right jab at your chest

12:00 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as your face gets popped twice I know I am in the right place... I stand as you slide back and left and as I face you turning to my right I lean forward and your jab hits my guard... then you come closer and hit my chest hard UFFFF but I am prepared and as your glove lands my own right flies towards your jaw in a sharp cross punch

13:24 Valerie_Cross: Ughh, your cross connects and my head twists from the blow. I get my guard up and slide back to reset. Your still pretty tough and I won't get suckered into going toe to toe. I circle away a bit to get the cobwebs out of my head. I set my gloves then slide in and pop a left jab at your jaw...pshh...then I circle and go for a right hook at the ribs and finish with a left cross at your nose

08:06 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as my glove lands you reel back... I can still punch... you are clever and don't want to get lured into a exchange... your advantage is your speed... you know that, I do too... you move circling, then come forward... I got my guard well placed and it stops your jab to my face but UFFF your hook slams my ribs again... starting to really hurt there... but I stand... I grunt with the punch but as you throw your cross it slams my guard harmlessly... I then lean forward and step to my right trying to aim a good right hook to your jaw

14:49 Valerie_Cross: I know I'm getting to close so I duck the hook and slide back to give myself space to move and work. I'm sweating and breathing a little hard but I'm feeling good. I keep moving, circling left then quickly I go right and dart in to pop a left-right jab combo towards your jaw then go low with a left hook at your ribs

09:08 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as you duck the hook I am a bit unbalanced and you don't take the chance, acting smart and waiting for the best move... I put my guard back and then you come at me fast slamming my guard hard with your jabs... but UGH your body blow slams my ribs hard and it really hurts bad... your continuous punishement is starting to really get its tolll... I grunt and lean low trying to keep myself closer and lowering my guard a bit and then USH aim a left hook hoping to catch your right eye to stop your rythm and give myself a good chance

14:51 Valerie_Cross: WHAP!! The hook catches me flush and I feel the sting around my eye. I get my guard up and push back toale some space. I crack my neck, my heart pounding from the excitement of the exchanges we're dishing out to each other. I shuffle and circle and fire a right cross at your chin then pivot to slam an uppercut into your ribs

15:54 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: As my guard is a bit lower your right cross slams my chin hard UGH a solid punch that rattles my head jerking it to the side… hard to soak… butI I do…. Takes a lot to bring me down… I can stand…. but as you come down trying to hit my ribs again my elbow stops your blow and I try to USH fire a hard upper right into your chin before you can put your guard back

11:50 Valerie_Cross: WHACK!! My head rattles as the uppercut cracks my chin and I feel the sting of the blow. I trained for this but I also know I can't stand toe to toe with you, at least not yet. I get my gloves up and slide back and keep on my toes as I circle and move. I feel the sweat trickle down my back as I keep moving. I slide back in and fire a left jab at your jaw then pivot and fire a right hook at your ribs

11:55 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as my glove connects, you expertly reel back to soak the punch.. but you are brave and come at me again! I am feeling that you have improved your skills and trained vs bigger opponents for this fight... and I love that, feel honored! as we collide again you fire at my jaw but I stop your blow to myjaw... your body blow is a dfferent thing, it UGHHH slams my ribs hard and I feel them really aboutto give after your butal beating... I must hold up, and try to turn the ight to my favor...as I breath hard... try to keep close and USH fire a straight right aiming to your face hoping that a simple punch can be good to surprise you a litte waiting for a good chance for a nice combo...

11:57 Valerie_Cross: I remember from our last fight how tough and relentless you are so your quick counter isn't a surprise. I move my head but your glove still hits the side of my head and I feel it. I duck and circle, keeping on my toes so I don't stay in one spot to long. I circle you and dig a left uppercut into your stomach then follow it with a right hook to the ribs

12:00 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you avoid the biggest effects of my punch and react fast... as i expected... you move a lot faster than me and you UGH UGHHHF slam my gut and ribs hard again and it really hurts this time... I am putting all my hopes in a hard USH cross right that I am throwing aiming to your left temple hoping to catch you well even if I am getting badly battered in the process... if this punch does not stop you I see my chances in this faight are fading fast...

12:02 Valerie_Cross: Our last fight taught me how tough and resilient you are and to expect you to keep punching so I deflect the cross and keep on my toes and moving around you. I slide back, circle then slide in and fire a right uppercut at your abs, then pivot into a left hook to the ribs.

12:05 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you know your boxing... you avoid my punch and jump back, moving out of my reach... I am starting to fee very tired... ribs hurt... you enter the distance fast and I lift my guard and then UFF UGGGH your fast combo slams my gut harder than ever... puffing... I try to aim a left jab to your facelooking for a good chance but I am really battered yut

12:09 Valerie_Cross: I keep my head moving and dodge the jab and slide back in with a left-right hook combo into your ribs. You're tougher then a brick building but I'm determined to win and I have to keep at it!!

12:10 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: as you avoid my jab I cannot be fast enough to cover well and UGH UGGGH your new combo slams me again... I try to mve forward and clinch with you to get a break... huffing and puffing as I try to hold your arms and stop you

12:12 Valerie_Cross: I sense your hurting and I know I can't get lazy or cocky right now. I slide back, avoiding the clinch knowing I can't hold you up if you latch on to me. I slide and circle and step in and fire a left jab at your jaw and follow with a right cross to your chin

12:14 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: you elude my clinch... I try to cover well as you circle and then move forward again... you UFF slam ly jaw hard and then UGHH your right cross slams my chin as sweat drops fly... head jerked to the side and I step back trying to recover my guard

12:15 Valerie_Cross: I feel you starting to fade a bit and I keep the pressure on but stay on guard because you can still come back if I'm not careful. I slide and shoot a right jab into your abs and pivot to snap a left hook to the ribs

12:16 MIKE_BOXER_-_BOXEADOR: UGHHH UFFF your body blows come under my up guard and they are hard to soak... I move backwards and my back touches the ropes... I am in trouble indeed and I try to cover as I can but my arms arer really starting to get heavy

12:19 Valerie_Cross: I slide in and try pinning you to the ropes. Seeing your guard dropping I fire a right cross at your nose and pivot into a left hook to the jaw

12:29 Valerie_Cross: I bite my lip and keep my eyes on you as I continue counting..."4.....5....6.....7...."
