The uppercut on my chin makes my head snaps back with some saliva and sweat spraying up and to the side.
My body rocks back along with my head and totally losing balance I end down on my back, flat, arms opened outward to the sides and face to the right.
"That's it! You better stay down little bitch!" Goldie roars, flexing her biceps in a premature victory pose for the small crowd. She doesn't even bother to get close to me, confident that the match is now over.
Tanya steps toward me and starts the ten counts.
ONE
TWO
THREE
The only movement of my body is my chest pushing up and down to inhale oxygen, then finally I roll to the side.
FOUR
FIVE
I groan and gasp, feeling so frustrated and humiliated by the fact that this is only the second round and she already sent me down three times during the whole match.
I put all effort I can to finally roll on all fours
SIX
SEVEN
I emit a guttural growl as I push my gloves down hard, putting a lot of effort and finally able to get on my feet, although dangerously staggering to the side.
Tanya moves toward me
"Shall I stop this? Randy?" She asks
"No...no..." I reply at her, trying to clear my view.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes..I can.." I try to sound confident, hating to be defeated in the second round.
Tanya steps aside, not really convinced by my words and calling
"BOX"
"Very brave I admit it, but this is only prolonging your agony!" Goldie stayed in silent during the count but now she's already on me.
Without hesitation she rushes at me.
I try to cover up in guard but my arms are not well positioned and again she hammers my battered belly with two hard hooks.
Only now I realize that I should have stayed down.
My arms are too tired and they drop down along my sides, giving Goldie my open fully exposed as she lowers her right arm down at her hip, before spinning and driving a full force hook for my jaw.
The impact is violent and brutal.
My feet leave the canvas, body flies up and back before heavily landing down on the mat, out cold.
Tanya has her eyes wide opened, she gives a look at Mr Tanaka who just nods at her.
The buxom blonde gives a signal and without even counting she signals for the bell.
DING DING DING
Signaling the match is officially over.
