Sparring in Starlight part 2 with gloves.

Kyoko could care less who won the round, she was more concerned about rectifying the recent events, in hindsight she should have prepared for something like this, she knew sexual fighters were present at AFW when she signed up yet she just figured it would be easy to avoid if she wasn't in any specific match that asked for it.

The bell rung to start round two and Kyoko moved in, eager to start making Tanitha pay for her antics. Kyoko circled around the girl and decided it would be best to see what she did next, she was angry sure but she knew better then to get reckless again just because she had more experience.

Tabitha would see that Kyoko was frustrated while she stared across the ring at her during the break. Did feeling her up in the clinch have that much of an effect on her? Tabitha figured it was not quite yet time to find out. Though Kyoko was rifht about one thing, neirher of them really cared who was the winner of the round. Both women were intent on knocking the other out.

Her strategy as they came toward the center to start the second round was to try and frustrate Kyoko further. Keeping her distance much like the beginning of the dirst round Tabitha would try to goad Kyoko into a mistake while she would try to constantly jab at her head.

Kyoko moved around Tabitha to try and see I'd she could find an opening to capitalize on. However Tabitha proved just as cautious, rather then move in to strike she tried to pepper her with shots to her head. Kyoko danced away from her and tried to throw in some jabs of her own while moving to work around Tabitha.

This proved to get little in terms of favorable a results so Kyoko changed up her tactics, Kyoko would try and move in and lower herself to her in closer and throw an uppercut aimed for Tabitha's jaw.

Tabitha noticed that Kyoko had adapted a similar approach to the second round. After some time simply jabbing at each other, Kyoko would make the first move. Tabitha assuming that Kyoko was going to attack her body would drop herself down and move to block the incoming attack. This proved to be a devastating mistake as she would move herself right into the uppercut that Kyoko had planned for her.

Tabitha was devastated by the blow as she did nothing to shield it. Cleanly impacting her jaw, Kyoko would notice that Tabitha's legs started to buckle as well. She was still standing but for how long exactly was another matter.

Tabitha was nearly knocked for a loop as Kyoko's uppercut just about took her head off. She hagan to stumble backwards and her legs began to buckle as she struggled to stay upright. Kyoko pulled her fist back and threw and vicious right hook aimed for Tabitha's belly. If this would hit she would throw two more punches at her body and another at her head to try and finish her off.

Tabitha would feel a massive blow to her belly along with two more punches that landed. Still unable to find her footing or any way to defend herself, Tabitha would be knocked down by the next punch that Kyoko would throw. Another hook would crash into her head and Tabitha crumbled to the floor.

Kyoko would back off and it was up to her to start the count to 10 before Tabitha had to get herself up.

She needed that in more ways then she could imagine. Seeing Tabitha get knocked around before finally decking her to the ground more then made up for her embarrassing incident a few minutes prior. As Tabitha sat on the floor Kyoko help the urge to comment on the early knockdown.

"Come on Tabitha, I thought you were supposed to be teaching me a thing or two this time. I hope that isn't all you brought to the table." Kyoko said before she began to count. "1...2..3..."

Tabitha had gotten herself propped up on her side as Kyoko started to taunt her. Kyoko was right, this was supposed to be Tabitha's match to win. She was the one who had been trained as a boxer. How did Kyoko find a way to knock her on her ass, and it was a pretty convincing flurry that did it. Kyoko would get to a count of 6 as Tabitha started to stand up. Not without slamming her fist into the mat in a sign of clear frustration that she had even been knocked down in the first place. Now that Kyoko reached the count of 8, Tabitha would get herself back in the mindset she needed to be in.

With both girls now upirght and ready to get the fight moving again, Tabitha seemed to have a new fire burning inside of her. She was trying to be aggressive now instead of sit around the outside and jab away at Kyoko. Of course it could just as easily leave her open again to another counterattack, but Tabitha was moving with a purpose now. She needed to punish Kyoko for taunting her and knocking her down like that.

Kyoko counted slowly, enjoying the domination that came from doing so. Her happiness increased when Tabitha hit the mat in anger before rising up to her feet as she hit a count of 8.

"Woah, calm down Tabitha. In know dealing with a superior opponent is frustratin but consider it another lesson in humility." Kyoko pressed further, the anger clear on her face as Kyoko readied herself to continue. She wanted to try and move around her opponent and throw a few jabs to find an opening.

Kyoko was slowly counting, which gave Tabitha alot of time to recover. They were both able to recover a little as Tabitha was on the ground. Tabitha still wanted to be more aggressive and would even let Kyoko's jabs hit her as she tried to move into position to land a few power shots on Kyoko. Her taunting was starting to bother Tabitha now as that novice got the upper hand on her. Tabitha knew that a few jabs were for the time being not going to matter much, and she would try to time her lunge forward inbetween the jabs that Kyoko was throwing at her. The idea was that she could lead in with a left hook and then try to follow up in a similar fashion that Kyoko had done to her as they started the round.
