Sylvia and I: Round Four
In the second round, I give my friend a NICE bloody nose, then knocked her on her rear. Well, she’s bigger than me, stronger, and almost as fast. Her greater experience is coming onto play, too.
She’s continued to work my right eye; her relentless punching has closed it completely, and my right eye’s swollen—though she’s avoiding punching me there any more; if I can’t see, the fight will get stopped, and THAT is not part of her plans.
She’s returned the bloody nose with interest, nailed my body to slow me down, and the red from the earlier punches to the chest has become a throbbing pain.
Now I’m moving slower than she is, one eye shut, and she’s in control of the fight. I’m still fighting back, and landing some punches, but she’s beating me up at will. Neither of us are willing to stop—this will stop when I’m knocked out, or land a lucky KO punch. It’s half-way through round 4, and I’ve been on the canvas twice. Her plan is to knock me out in round six or seven—she’s been careful not to hit me too hard and end things early.
Friends before, and even better friends after the fight—after I recover, I’ll be training hard for a rematch. (Good luck on winning that, when she’s got ~40-50 pounds and several inches on me.)
Aaron is a true artist, catching the moment of impact, the bruising she's left on me, the swelling in Sylvia's eye. Even more important, the look on each of us--aroused, yet so much pain on my face...but I wouldn't be anywhere else, given a choice.

He is absolutely fantastic at turning words into images, and depicting what two determined fighters can and will do to each other. Most fights aren't as rough as he shows--but the really bruising ones are the ones I like the best. (I've been in a few rough ones, too.)
