(Alison P.O.V)387Please respect copyright.PENANApzXKd9JOQm
I registered my details at the front desk, my heart thrumming with anticipation. The scent of determination seemed to hang in the air as I walked towards the locker room, the echo of my footsteps blending with the distant sounds of cheering and the rhythmic thuds of punches meeting flesh. The anticipation was palpable, a surge of energy that invigorated my every step.387Please respect copyright.PENANALG7Os5V9cR
Inside the locker room, I shed my everyday clothes and donned my fighting attire. The fabric clung to my body, a second skin that was both comfort and armour. I tied my hair into a tight bun, every strand secured so there would be no distractions. My reflection in the mirror stared back at me, a mix of intensity and focus that I had honed over countless hours of training.387Please respect copyright.PENANAVnGYYOxCtx
As I stepped out of the locker room and walks to the fighting arena with my friends. The arena opened up before me like a coliseum of raw emotion. Two men were locked in combat, their movements a dance of power and strategy. The crowd roared with every blow exchanged, the atmosphere electric with tension and excitement. I watched, absorbing the energy of the fight, knowing that soon I would be the one commanding the attention of the arena.387Please respect copyright.PENANAtwsPNpZAyc
Two fights later, the referee's voice resonated through the air, pulling me from my reverie. I strapped on my boxing gear, the familiar weight of the gloves grounding me. With a swift motion, I inserted the mouth guard, a ritual that signalled the transformation from mere spectator to active participant.387Please respect copyright.PENANADwnuLWBbcw
Stepping into the arena, I could feel eyes on me, assessing and judging. My opponent, a towering figure across from me, sized me up with a derisive smirk.387Please respect copyright.PENANAtTZwvz7GQg
David's taunting words were delivered with a sneer, "Well, well, looks like they're letting kids into the ring now. Maybe you should be playing house instead of trying to fight with the big boys."387Please respect copyright.PENANAxXgz9w3E2s
His words were meant to belittle, to undermine, but instead of offence, they ignited a fire within me.387Please respect copyright.PENANADeq5zfseln
I met his gaze with a defiant smirk of my own, a silent challenge that spoke volumes. Underestimating me was a mistake many had made before, and it was a mistake I was more than willing to exploit. The referee's voice called out our names, the tension in the air coiling tighter.387Please respect copyright.PENANA9fIAMb2HnK
David's arrogant words hung in the air, a challenge masked as a concession. "Since you are a girl, I will let you strike first," he declared with a smirk that oozed misplaced confidence. He clearly believed that this perceived advantage would secure his victory. Little did he know, he had just handed me an opportunity I intended to exploit to the fullest.387Please respect copyright.PENANAev2g6oNRm1
"Roxcy versus David," the referee announced, his voice cutting through the charged atmosphere.387Please respect copyright.PENANA9rmQ9bfWay
The bell rang its metallic chime a signal that sent a surge of adrenaline through my veins. I didn't waste a second. With a burst of controlled energy, I launched forward, my glove cutting through the air as it homed in on its target.387Please respect copyright.PENANA8JR5CfivWc
David's eyes widened in surprise, his smirk faltering as the reality of his own mistake hit him like a punch. My glove connected with his side, the impact sending a satisfying jolt through my arm. His breath caught, the wind knocked out of him, and for a fleeting moment, his veneer of arrogance shattered.387Please respect copyright.PENANARd32lG5GWj
The crowd erupted into a mix of cheers and gasps, their disbelief mirrored in David's expression. I could almost see the gears turning in his mind, the realization that he had underestimated me seeping in. This was the moment I had been waiting for – the chance to prove that strength was not bound by gender.387Please respect copyright.PENANAnvWDobFCM6
The fight continued a dance of skill, strategy, and sheer determination. I moved with calculated precision, each movement a testament to the hours of training I had dedicated to this very moment. David, now fully engaged, fought back with newfound intensity. He was no longer underestimating me, and that made the challenge even more exhilarating.387Please respect copyright.PENANAfvCqnagQBH
Blows were exchanged, the rhythm of the fight creating a symphony of sounds – the thud of gloves meeting flesh, the shuffling of feet against the canvas, the synchronized breaths of fighters deep in battle. We circled each other, two forces locked in a clash of wills. I could feel the burn in my muscles, the throb of my heartbeat matching the pounding in my ears.387Please respect copyright.PENANAwv3rW5hzaY
A left hook came hurtling towards me, and I ducked with a quickness born of instinct. The punch sailed over my head, leaving an opening that I exploited without hesitation. My glove shot out, finding its mark on David's abdomen. He grunted, his guard momentarily faltering.387Please respect copyright.PENANAEEuI2iPrRe
Seizing the advantage, I followed up with a rapid combination – a jab to his chin, a hook to his ribs, and an uppercut that snapped his head back. The crowd roared in response, their cheers fueling my determination. David staggered, his movements becoming more sluggish, his once-confident demeanor now replaced with a mix of frustration and disbelief.387Please respect copyright.PENANALMtArZ3gRT
Time seemed to blur as we continued to trade blows, each moment stretching into eternity yet passing in an instant. The final sequence of the fight played out in a whirlwind of motion. A perfectly timed sidestep allowed me to evade David's oncoming strike, and before he could react, I landed a powerful blow to his jaw.387Please respect copyright.PENANAL0LpY3Ljyg
His body went rigid, and then gravity took over. David crashed to the mat, the impact reverberating through the arena. The referee's voice counted down, each number a confirmation of my victory. As the final count echoed, I stood there, chest heaving, sweat-soaked and triumphant.387Please respect copyright.PENANAkrg2E0rQz8
The crowd erupted into a thunderous applause, a standing ovation for a battle well-fought. My gaze shifted to David, who was slowly rising to his feet, his earlier arrogance now replaced by a begrudging respect. Our eyes met, and in that shared moment, he acknowledged the truth – that strength, determination, and skill knew no gender boundaries.387Please respect copyright.PENANAQafWKaPPmd
