10 Back In Action

Huston charges at Leo, jumps up in the air and goes for a forearm strike, but Saint easily ducks it. He then goes for a flurry of punches and kicks, but Leo dodges and blocks them all. As Huston gets frustrated and flustered, Leo just stares at him with an intense look in his eyes.

Huston rushes in for a right hook, but before he can even throw it, Leo punches him in the side of the face, sending him stumbling back. Huston clutches his face, with a shock expression on his face as Leo keeps that focused look in his eyes. Angered by this, Huston charges in again, but Leo side thrust kicks him in the throat.

As Huston stumbles back yet again, Leo kicks him in the leg and then in the head. Huston swings with a right hook, but Saint ducks, punches him in the ribs, then lands a left hook in the jaw, knocking him on the ropes. As his opponent is disoriented, Leo side flips and kicks Huston out of the ring, knocking him out.

As Leo takes a few intense deep breaths, William cheers for him outside of the ring.

"Woooo! Still got it baby! Let's go!"

Leo smirks, puts back on his shirt and leaves the ring.

"When he wakes up, tell him he needs to work on his temper. And that his defense needs some work." Leo tells William.

Later on, Leo walks into Danielle's office.

"You wanted to see me?" Leo asks.

Danielle folds her arms and looks at Leo with a disapproving look on her face.

"I heard you beat up one of my heavyweights today."

A guilty look appears on Leo's face.

"Well, I, uh... See what had happened was, um."

"Mike Huston. Is a dick. He needed that beating. I like him better already."

As Danielle smiles, Leo laughs, feeling relieved that she isn't actually upset.

"In that case, I'm happy to help Mike become a better person."

Danielle smiles and walks up to Leo.

"Huston is a ranked heavyweight fighter. You beat him, without even breaking a sweat. You can seriously make a comeback."

Leo thinks for a moment, but looks down in disappointment.

"How am I gonna do that?"

"With my help. I still want to be your manager, Leo."

"And how would your father feel about that?"

Danielle doesn't answer for a moment.

"I no longer work for Mr. Morgan. We have... philosophical differences. But, I can get you a license and I can get you a fight. If you want to fight, it's your call."

Leo thinks for a moment.

"Of course he wants to fight. What are ya, crazy? It's in his blood."

A voice says behind him. Leo turns around and sees Frank walk through the door.

"Frank!"

Leo hugs his old trainer and friend.

"I'm coming out of retirement, kid. So ya better make it worth it."

A big smile appears on Leo's face.

"You got it."

Danielle smiles and puts her hand on his shoulder.

"I told you, I could change his mind."

Leo looks at Danielle and Frank and feels that fire in his gut that he hasn't felt in a long time.

"Let's do it." He says with a determined look on his face.
