K.O. Match: Johnny Higurashi Vs. Ro Laren

Johnny felt the punch connect and there was a surge of adrenaline through his body. It felt way better than he expected it to as he knocked Ro backwards. He didn't expect her to go down and he was al lready for a follow up, bringing his fist sailing towards Ro's chest when she snapped her foot upwards.

They had been trading fists the whole match that the thought of using another part of his body seemed almost silly. The momentum from Johnny's punch drove him into Ro's foot and his eyes widened as he heel slammed into his ribs. His punch faltered and he was pushed to the side and fell to his hands and knees, one hand clutching around his waist. "Shit...' He said, smiling through the pain in his side.

"Is that how we're playin now, dude?" He grunted.

“Get confused and think it was a boxing match?” Ro replied. It was true, they had been focusing on fists. But, rather the opposite of Johnny, the thought that she should continue using her fists exclusively seemed almost silly to her. Plus, she was much more a submissionist than a striker. She was way glad that her John had taught her how to hit someone well, but if she couldnâ€t get Johnny down soon it might be a problem. Johnny was hitting a bit harder overall.

Johnny had dropped to his hands and knees, which put Ro in the position to finally gain a real advantage over Johnny. Ro tried to run up to him as quick as she could, aiming to jump up and land with both feet into his back. If that managed to wind him and put him on the ground, she could convert to all manner of holds. Ro also reasoned that she wouldnâ€t get hurt too bad if she missed cleanly, depending on what he did.

Johnny shook his head. He just was so into mixing it up that the thought of using other attacks dropped from his radar. He just wanted to trade blows with Ro until one of them fell but it couldn't be helped.

Nor was he going to sit around and let the woman continue to do whatever. He pushed his hand down on the mat and shot forward, trying to clip her leg out from under her when the red head jumped. Johnny missed and fell flat on the mat, looking a little ridiculous for the moment. But He moved out of the way of Ro's hope and when he felt the reverberating mat, he knew that he had dodged a bit of a bullet. Now he tried to scramble away so he could get back to his feet.

In truth, part of Ro did want to keep trading punches. But Ro was taking a lot of damage this way, strikes werenâ€t her main focus, and all of her instincts told her to go back to what she knew better. As Ro jumped, Johnny fell face first, making Ro chuckle. Despite this, Ro still missed, her feet slapping the mat and making her legs quiver for a second as she recovered for a split second.

“Heh…maybe I shoulda kept with the punches, I didnâ€t miss as badly.” Ro laughed, chancing after Johnny to try and kick him as he was getting back onto his feet. If he was up already, sheâ€d still try but would be at a disadvantage because of her miscalculation.

Johnny was scrambling to get up when Ro swung her foot up. He rolled with the kick, groaning and clutching his side. He was now on his back and close to the ropes as he watched Ro. He sat up and pushed one hand against the ropes and tried to awkwardly stand up. He wasn't going to try it unless he was facing Ro now. "I got feet too ya know." He said, eying her. "So, why don't ya come over here and see how I can swing em', huh?" He said. "Go head and take another running dive. We can take this out of the ring, you know." He added, messing with Ro.

Ro grinned as the foot connected, knocking Johnny down towards the mat onto his back. She smirked a bit, watching as Johnny got to his feet and boasted that he had feet too. “And theyâ€re not even ugly feet.” Ro said, feigning that she was surprised by that. Then, Ro came at Johnny. At first it looked like she was going to charge at Johnny and try to jump on him, but instead she was rushing to try to grab him about the shoulders and knee into his gut.

Johnny was surprised Ro actually let him get to his feet. He leaned against the ropes and grinned. He wasn't sure how he felt about her liking his feet. He shrugged it off and as Ro came at him, Johnny leaned against the ropes and kicked himself up. Whether she was going to drive into him or not, Johnny already had his next move planned. He leaned against the ropes and threw himself up to try and catch Ro with his legs and scissor her waist. He was looking to use their momentum and throw them up and over the ropes with Ro taking the worst of it.

But Ro did something that Johnny was not expecting. She leaned forward to push on his shoulders and knee him in the gut but his gut was already traveling upwards. Ro's knee slammed into something else and Johnny's eyes widened as her knee smashed into his crotch.

He crumbled tot he ground instantly, his legs on either side of Ro as is hands dove between his legs. 'Shit!" He screamed. "That was fuckin bullshit! Didn't think you'd be some nut bustin' bitch, man! Not cool!" He said as he groaned in agony.

Ro smirked, she was eager to resume their fight, this time aiming to get him in the gut. Roâ€s last minute switch from her diversionary charge to the concentrated attack seamed to have confused Johnny, who got up to scissor Ro. But, instead of scissoring her, the knee that was aimed for his stomach smacked his balls instead!

Ro stepped back, eyes a bit wide as she realized what was happening, her opponent on the ground and holding his balls. At first, Ro felt bad and hesitated. “Well…it was an accident! Whyâ€d you jump like that?!” she let out as he complained that it was a cheapshot. If it were deliberate, it would have been, but it was not.

Ro hesitated for another second, she wasnâ€t sure what to do about this, but she then decided that it was his fault for not paying attention. She sympathized, but would try to take advantage of this. Leaning down, if Johnny hadnâ€t gotten up, sheâ€d try to grab him by his head and pull him to his feet, wanting to prop him up in the corner before slapping his chest with the back of her palm.

Johnny growled. "Damn you..." He said as he tried to ease away the pain. He sorta of believed her that it was an accident but too many of his opponents had gone for shots there that he was a little gunshy when it came to "accidental" nutshots.

"I was trying to throw you over the ropes!" He yelled as she grabbed his head. Right now Johnny was putty in Ro's hands and whens he shoved him into the corner, he sat partially on the second turnbuckle, one hands still cupping his balls as she laid a hard chop across his chest, lifting him up off his feet for a moment. "Shit!" He said.

He didn't like getting smacked around and the slap seemed like more of an insult than an attack. Johnny growled and tried to give Ro a shove so he could put some distance between them. Johnny planned to retaliate with his won mighty backhand chop to Ro's chest!

“Oh, well that sounded like fun! Donâ€t miss next time!” Ro teased as she slapped his chest, inflicting pain, but generally giving him some time to regroup. When the slap connected, she felt Johnny shove her away soon after. “Better now? Letâ€s get back to it!” Ro smirked, ready to go back to her usual merciless style.

Ro saw Johnny try to retaliate with the backhand chop, but Ro sidestepped herself out of the way, getting even more distance between her and Johnny, just past the center of the ring at this point. She quickly got her arms up again, slowly coming back towards him, cautiously and defensively.
