The final bell of the fight had been rung, the score card added up and the fight was one. It was obvious who had come out on top.

The referee held Rocky’s hand up victoriously, before allowing the competitors to shake hands. The two were both pretty beaten and bruised, but in the end there was a clear winner.

Rocky left the ring, quickly surrounded by Mickey as well as Paulie congratulating and making sure he was still breathing and conscious enough. The two got the fighter back to the training room.

He immediately crashed on the couch, wiping his sweaty and slightly bloody face with a cloth as Mickey handed him a water bottle.

“Damn that guy had an arm.” He muttered breathlessly, leaning back as he reached for another wet towel, dropping it over his face.
