Decided
A verbal agreement.
A poorly lit alley.
Two brave men.
All of the components of a perfect fight. Facing opposite each other in a typical, but unbalanced boxing stance, neither of these men knew how to fight. Neither had ever even been in a fight. But they knew that they had to learn tonight. The first man charges in with a wild right hook, instinctively the second man closes his eyes and propels his right hand as quick and as straight as an artist's stroke of a brush, directly onto his opponent's chin. The first man's knees buckle and he temporarily touches the ground. His right hook was completely staggered by his chin being popped. Panicked and disoriented the first man flies upwards in an attempt to tackle his foe.
This is where the second man discovers he is a natural fighter, as a swift and heavy rear uppercut plants itself into his combatant's lower jaw and a shatter echoes through the alley. With his consciousness fading and the floor rapidly approaching, the first man learns to embrace defeat. A gentle smile spreads across his face, only to be taken by the crunch of the concrete, and the breaking of his teeth. The second man, despite his name, had claimed victory and raised his hand and head to the sky.
"1-0!" He leaves the alley with more perk than he had ever stepped!
6.3 seconds and 2 punches was all it took, for 19 year old Shane's story to begin.
