Hiro Takahashi vs Alexios

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios kept twisting Hiro’s ankle. Hiro managed to slowly crawl to the ropes, but at the last second, Alexios managed to pull Hiro away from the ropes and drag him back to the center of the ring. “Tap!” he yelled as he kept applying pressure to Hiro’s ankle and hoped for a submission.

Hiro's hand was so close to touching the bottom rope but then Alexios would start to pull on Hiro's leg and drag him back in the center of the ring!

"Noooo!!! Gaaaaaagggghhhh!!!"

Hiro screamed out in pain and cursed himself underneath his breath. He was disappointed in himself that he didn't touch the ropes in time and yet again the ref would lower himself to Hiro and ask if he wants to give up.

"Nooo! Nooo fu....Aaarrrgghh!"

Hiro started to grit his teeth as his ankle continued to be pressured by the ankle lock! The crowd expected the japanese kickboxer to tap but Hiro would endure the pain and started to turn onto his back and kick Alexios in the face to have him release his ankle!

The crowd cheered when Hiro escaped the ankle lock and as Hiro got up he would attempt to catch Alexios in an Enzuigiri!

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios could see Hiro turning over coming a mile away. It’s what he’d do. He expected Hiro turn kick him in the leg or the gut. But his opponent showed both grit and flexibility as he bounced up and kicked him in the face. Alexios let go of Hiro and recoiled from the blow. Hiro used the opportunity to hit Alexios in the face again with an enziguri. Alexios remained standing but nonetheless had his bell rung. He wobbled on his feet, vulnerable to Hiro’s next attack.

[Weonna]

'How is he still up!?'

Hiro just hit Alexios with a Enzuigiri and yet the former Olymian was still standing on his feet! Hiro, having the Enzuigiri botched, quickly got up to his feet and ran to the ropes bouncing and rebounding off of it and attempting to knock Alexios down with a Clothesline to the neck hoping this move would knock him down to the canvas!

If successful Hiro would attempt to see if he could finish this match quickly with a pin attempt as he would hook Alexios leg for a single leg pin!

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios was still wobbling from Hiro’s enziguri when Hiro came back around. Alexios was unable to recover in time and felt the full force of Hiro collide with him. Hiro’s arm slammed into his neck and the clothesline knocked Alexios down flat onto his back. Alexios being stunned, Hiro hooked Alexios’ leg for the pin. The ref counted.

One!
Two!
Th-Noooooo!

Alexios kicked out just in time.

[Weonna]

'Darn it! So close!'

Hiro cursed himself under his breath as his opponent managed to kick out in time. The Japanese Kickboxer had to keep the offense going as he needed a lot more to take down the former Olympian. After the kickout Hiro got to his feet quickly and grabbed Alexios's battle skirt trying to lift him up to his feet.

"Ok here we go!" Hiro would then place a hand on Alexios back and attempt to push him to one of the corners to the ring hoping to have him faceplant in the top turnbuckle.

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios was brought to his feet and slumped against Hiro. He then found himself being pushed to the corner as he regained his senses. Alexios planted his feet and managed to stop his face from being slammed into the corner. He managed to grab Hiro and force him into the corner. He delivered two stinging knife-edge chops before attempting to Irish whip Hiro into the opposite corner. If successful, he would spear Hiro in the corner.

[Weonna]

"Whoa!!"

Just when Hiro was about to whip him to the corner his opponent brilliantly read his next move and countered with an Irish whip of his own sending Hiro into the corner as he turned and crashed on his back.

SMACK! SMACK!

As soon as he went to the corner Alexios would deliver two knife edge chops to his chest dazing Hiro! Once the Japanese kickboxer was pulled out the corner by his opponent he was whipped to the other side of the ring...however Hiro would regain his consciousness while running and as soon as he got close to the corner he would jump to the top turnbuckle and lift his body high to avoid the spear attempt before flipping off behind Alexios to do a roll to gain some distance from him.

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios charged Hiro to spear him. But he kept his head up enough to see where he was going. As he got close, he saw Hiro run up the corner and flip off of it. Hiro flipped up and over Alexios. It took everything Alexios had to put on the brakes before slamming into the corner. Alexios managed to only have a minor impact and had the presence of mind to know that Hiro eas likely behind him. So with adrenaline coursing through his veins, Alexios spun and charged forward again. Hoping to spear Hiro as he lands.

[Weonna]

Hiro was only successful at avoiding Alexios's Spear however the former Olympian was still coursing with adrenaline and once Hiro would stop rolling the Japanese wrestler would try to get to the center of the ring to square up with Alexios. He was caught like a deer in headlights when he saw the larger man charging at him as if they were playing American Football and all of a sudden...

BOOM!

Hiro was football tackled...or speared...on the ground as he laid flat on his back! He was in a world of hurt and looked as if he was concussed.
