5 A Screw Job

As the first round of Leo's fight against Ricky Fontaine ends, Frank notices somethings off about the judges. When Leo sits in his corner, the two talk about it.

"Kid, the judges ain't even watching this fight, I can see it in their eyes."

Leo then looks over and sees Sunny sitting in the crowd with two men beside him, with an evil grin on his face.

"Morgan fucked us. We're not winning any decisions tonight. Meaning you gotta knock this guy on the canvas, understand? Knock him on his ass."

Leo nods, puts his mouth piece back in and stands up with a focused look on his face.

Saint and Fontaine circle around each other, ready to fight again. Ricky throws a flurry of punches that Leo either doges or blocks. He then throws a kick that the young Saint moves out of the way of. Ricky turns around and throws a super man punch, again missing it's mark. Fontaine starts getting frustrated and throws a strong left hand.

Leo ducks it, lands a right hook to the jaw, and spin kicks him across the face. Fontaine then sweeps him off the ground, but as Leo is in the air, he lands a beautiful guyver kick to the side of the head and kips up off the ground. Fontaine then runs at him, but Leo jumps up and kicks him in the chest, knocking him back. Ricky goes for another kick as Saint counters by punching his ankle.

"Fontaine finally lands a punch, hitting Leo across the face with a right. He goes for a left, but Leo grabs his arm and knees him in the gut. He punches Ricky in the face and performs a double leg takedown to the mat. Leo then puts his knee on his chest and repeatedly punches him in the face, knocking him out.

When Leo is announced the winner and the crowd start chanting "Saint" he doesn't celebrate like he normally does. Instead he turns to Sunny Morgan and stares him down, angry that he tried to screw him over.

Sunny scowls at the young man, leaving the arena in a hurry. Leo takes a deep breath and raises his hands in victory, still happy that he won the fight.
