19 Big Fight Feel

One morning, Leo is outside in the snow shadow kickboxing with just sweat pants and no shirt. He throws punches and kicks at rapid fire speed while Frank watches, drinking coffee. Danielle soon joins the old man, watching Leo as well.

"How long has he been out there?" Danielle asks.

Frank chuckles.

"Three hours."

Later on, Leo does a hundred pushups with little kids on his back. He then does pull ups as Frank throws a medicine ball into his stomach when he comes down. Leo follows up with strikes to the heavy bag and gets tired. He pauses for a moment, crouching over out of exhaustion and a small pain in his knee, but when he looks at the TV and sees a replay of his brother being beaten by Cross and gets his second wind.

He starts punching and kicking the bag even harder than before. Leo then jumps rope with rapid speed. During his break, he and Frank watch tape on Cross, trying to learn and take notes on. He also practices strikes that Frank calls out loud, with focus and speed.

Leo then ends the workout with a jog around town. As he starts to think about everything he's been through, he starts to slowly build up speed. He thinks about his career as a middleweight and winning multiple fights and gets a little faster. Leo then thinks about how he was set up by Sunny, being put in jail because of him and gets even faster. The thoughts of everyone calling him washed up ex con and gets even faster. He then thinks about Cross hospitalizing his brother and starts running at full speed.

As he runs through the street, he lets out a loud scream, signifying that he's ready to fight for the title.

Later that week, a press conference is held in Las Vegas. On one side is Leo, Frank, Danielle, and William. On the otherside is Cross in an expensive suit and a arrogant smile on his face. Sunny then steps up to the microphone.

"I have to admit. I did not want this fight to happen. Even though both fighters wanted it. Even though the public wanted it. And even though I would have made a ridiculous amount of money from it. I did not want this fight to happen, because I did not want to risk two tragedies happening to the same family."

When Leo hears Sunny say this, he clinches his fist in anger.

"But now that We all know that William Saint, a fine Mixed Martial Artist, and a fine young man, is going to recover fully from his injuries."

William flips off Sunny when he says this.

"I am proud to announce that S.M. promotions is bringing you the fight, the challenger has been demanding. The fight, the champion has been demanding. The fight you have been demanding. Leo Saint vs Isaiah Cross, for the heavyweight championship of the world. May the best man win."

As Sunny finishes, the two fighters stand and come face to face with each other. As Leo stares down Cross with an intense look in his eyes, Cross smirks and taunts him with a neck slice, telling him that he's going to beat him tomorrow.
