Chapter 19: CH 019: I am the master
Following the impactful blow delivered by Don, which had surprisingly failed to inflict even the slightest reaction from Dave, the latter swiftly seized the initiative and launched a counterattack of his own.
With a fierce determination burning in his eyes, Dave charged forward, his fists clenched into tight, formidable punch. As he drew closer to Don, he raised one of his fists, swinging it in a wide, sweeping arc that seemed destined to connect with Don's face.
However, in a clever display of tactical prowess, Dave's initial attack proved to be merely a feint, designed to deceive and misdirect his opponent.
The true attack came in the form of a lightning-fast kick, which Dave unleashed with deadly precision as he twisted his body to the side. Utilizing the momentum generated by his swinging fists, Dave delivered a powerful back-foot kick that connected with Don's face, the impact of which had sent shockwaves through the entire arena.
The crowd gasped in unison, their collective breath caught in their throats as they struggled to comprehend the sheer speed and agility that Dave had just displayed.
The devastating impact of Dave's kick had sent Don's face swinging violently to the side, his body crumpling to the ground with a resounding thud. It was painfully evident that Don was out cold, utterly incapacitated by the sheer force of the blow.
As the crowd collectively witnessed the aftermath of Dave's impressive kick, a stunned silence fell over the entire arena, the only sound being the heavy breathing of the fighters and the murmurs of the awestruck onlookers.
Many in attendance had been anticipating Don's resilience, expecting him to valiantly rise to his feet and perhaps even launch a counterattack against Dave. However, it soon became apparent that this was not to be, as Don lay motionless on the ground, his limbs splayed out at awkward angles.
The referee, in a futile attempt to revive Don, tried to lift him up, but it was clear to everyone present that Don had succumbed to the knockout blow, his body temporarily shut down by the trauma.
As the reality of the situation sank in, Peter's voice boomed through the arena's loudspeakers, his words electrifying the crowd: "And that's a knockout!!"
The hall had erupted into a deafening cacophony of cheers and applause, as Dave's supporters reveled in their champion's triumphant victory. With the first fight now under his belt, Dave had taken a significant step towards his ultimate goal, with only nine more opponents remaining for him to vanquish.
