After practicing for a bit, Tina was ready to get into the ring. She sat in the locker room with her new attire on including the robe. Bette leaned against the door frame her eyes glued to Tina. Tina felt her eyes on her so she looked up meeting two brown orbs. Bette gave her a Bette Porter signature smile. Tina couldn’t help but smile back.

“You will do great.” Bette said as she helped their crew with getting the items needed ready. She glanced over at Tina. “Are you coming?”

Tina rubbed the leather gloves against her silk shorts then stood up. She took a deep breath. “Yes.”

Bette’s eyes dropped down to Tina’s stomach that was exposed. She noticed how defined Tina’s six pack had become. She licked her dry lips trying to clear the dirty thoughts she had from her head.

The announcer introduced another newcomer trying to make a name for themselves to the ring. It was Tina’s turn to come to the ring.

The announcer bellowed. “Tina…..Mo chuisle….Keennarrrddd!”

Tina emerged from the corner of the gym with Bette by her side. Tina stared straight ahead bouncing from foot to foot as she walked up to the ring. Once inside, Bette put her hands on Tina’s upper shoulders giving them a squeeze.

“Stay focused.” She breathed into Tina’s ear.

She helped Tina with the robe. Tina was still bouncing from foot to foot throwing jabs into the air. When she felt pretty loosened up, she went to Bette’s side. Bette grabbed the water bottle squeezing some water into Tina’s mouth. Once Tina had enough, Bette placed the mouth piece into her mouth. The cut man covered Tina’s face in Vaseline so that when punched the glove will slide right off.

The ref called the two girls into the middle of the ring. He gave them the rules and once he finished he told them to touch gloves. Tina glanced up at her opponent bringing her gloves forward. The opponent hit her gloves gesturing to start the fight. Once they touched the bell sounded informing everyone the fight had begun.

Tina drew her arms up blocking her face. The other lady did the same. Tina lunged forward slamming one fisted glove into the lady’s gut and drew her other arm to the other side hitting her in the same location. The other boxer immediately dropped her arms to block her gut, feeling already winded. That’s when Tina sent a right hook to the boxer’s left jaw causing the girl’s head to snap to the right. Tina was getting ready to hit her with a left lead until the lady gave her a counter punch to the front of the face. This caused Tina to step back stunned. Her nose had begun to bleed and she knew then it was broken.
