Toshiko Ito vs Grace Kenning - Knockout Match

[Dubski]

With her command and kick, Ito could see Grace was becoming even more fired up, which was what she wanted. She got ready for a counter attack and when her opponent sent a crushing hook towards her head with some speed behind it. Toshiko looked surprised and moved her head away from the strike, but still got grazed by her fist!

Toshiko Ito went down and landed on her side, wincing and holding her body up by her hands, trying to focus from the strike, realizing just how close she could have been from losing everything. Still, she lay there propped up on her side as she shook her head clear. And yet she was glad that her opponent had stepped up her game slightly, even if at the moment she would regret it.

Grace's punch came in hot and Toshiko just barely avoided getting taken down a peg by it, or just knocked out, Grace would have been fine wit either. Though when it came down to it she still wanted to make sure that Toshiko didnt get out of this without taking some kind of big it, seeing ehr go down to the floor Grace followed closing in after her and trying to bring a hammer blow down on top of Toshiko to stop her from rising.

"I was fighting with intent to win but if you want me to fight with intent to seriously hurt that can work for me too!" Grace shouted attempting to make sure Toshiko wasnt in a position to go anywhere for the time being.

[Dubski]

As soon as Toshiko Ito rolled her body to her hands and knees, she felt a hammer blow to the space between her shoulders and immediately crumpled into the mat. "Gah!" She let out an audible shout, clutching her hands to the mat and kicking a single leg behind her. Then, she heard Grace say the most aggressive thing she's had to say thusfar, and it honestly made Toshiko think that maybe she had seriously hurt her head. What did she mean that she was fighting with an intent to win, but not an intent to seriously hurt? It honestly confused her, as Toshiko had every intention of hurting Grace as much as she had to in order to win, if she needed to.

Weakness, she thought, even as she was on the mat, reeling from her opponent's latest strike. Still, Ito reached to grab one of Grace's boots, then tried to grab onto her shorts in order to help pull herself up to her feet with some effort, the pain in her head and top of her back hurting quite a bit right now.

In a similar situation as before Toshiko was reeling from the hit that left her a bit lopsided, she was a toughie but it was clear Grace's raw power was something she didnt expect to feel and wasnt prepared to deal with..unfortunate for her since Grace wasnt in the mood to make it easier for her, as she grabbed on her for support Grace looked down at her and watched before grabbing her hair and pulling her head back a little to get a good look at her face.

Wordlessly Grace pulled her hand back and while holding Toshiko's head went for a right to the women's face that she was sure would leave a mark if it hit. Though she went for more cheek then going right for the face, she didnt want to break her hand on Toshiko's nose or anything since that was a sure fire way to leave her out of action for a few weeks.

Ito stared down Grace as she held her by the hair, with the Japanese woman on her knees. Even though Grace was in complete control, Toshiko was still staring at her defiantly. She knew that Grace had a ton of power behind her, but Toshiko knew that she could take whatever Grace would throw at her right now. While she would have rather being thrown around instead, as that might give her a better chance of countering or avoiding her, she figured if she could just take the next strike, it may give her the opportunity she needed to relax at least.

Then, it came. A crushing punch right to Toshiko's cheek. It was hard enough that she knew it would leave a mark upon impact. Ito slumped over, not reacting in any other way to her stiff-armed opponent and simply laid there, head spinning yet again from the strike, but hoping that she would recover from it as soon as possible.

Grace knew that she wouldnt exactly be getting much besides defiance from the women but if Toshiko thought staring down someone who was pounding you into the dirt was a sing of toughness Grace would continue to let her be tough in the face of a beating. As she watched Toshiko slump to the floor Grace would kick her a bit so that she was more on her back. With one target in mind.

"I need you out cold so dont except this to get any better." Grace added before she pulled her hand back again throwing a punch down for Toshiko's bare abs to absorb once more. If that punch connected she would push it down more and then try to pull her hand up once more and try to knock Toshiko out with another punch to her face.

[Dubski]

Toshiko was struggling a bit now, ragdolling over onto her back when Grace kicked her over onto her back. She worried, but steeled her resolve. She needed to wait for an opening. She was good enough to find one. It didn't come with the punch that followed to her stomach, and further impaled into her gut. Toshiko gasped out, putting a hand to her stomach as she winced, looking up at her assailant. She saw the following punch coming, and although her body felt weaker and she was having trouble breathing, she had to put all of her conditioning to use in this moment.

When Grace threw her finishing punch to her face, Toshiko jerked her head and the top of her body to the side just enough that Grace would miss and hit the mat rather than her face. Quickly, as Grace had her fist down to the mat, she would attempt to grab a hold of it and then swivel her body around so she could throw a kick from her prone position to Grace's head, hoping to hit it and daze her strong opponent. And if she could manage that, she would attempt to follow up by grapevining Grace's arm with her shoulders to attempt locking in an arm lock from her position. It wouldn't put her any closer to knocking her out, but at the very least it would buy her time and incapacitate her foe. She just had to block out the pain she was currently in, which was a struggle in itself.

The punched winded the fighter some more as she saw Toshiko struggling to breathe and fight back and Grace attempted to try and knock her out for good with her final punch. It didnt connect, Toshiko found her ability to dodge and Grace hit the mat before she felt her hand being grabbed an d boot come up to kick her in the face before she could try anything else.

"Agghh!" Grace groaned as her head flew upward and she was briefly stunned and her arm was pulled and grapvined by the women to restrain her more and try to trap her arm in a arm lock. Grace felt her other hand come down to her hand and attempt to try and get her arm free from the women's grip

[Dubski]

Ito's kick landed and she managed to wrap her legs around the arm of her opponent. Grace seemed staggered and Toshiko seemed rather worse for wear as well, letting out quiet whines as she held onto the hold, trying her best to bite them back. The Japanese performer's abs were killing her and it was a struggle to keep the hold on, but she had been taught to withstand much worse pain and focused on the task at hand. She held onto the arm, applying the arm lock and kept it on despite Grace trying to break free with her other hand.

With a yell of frustration and fury, Toshiko then continued to hold Grace's arm with both of her arms and untangled one of her legs, aiming to start kicking Grace in the face repeatedly, with quicker, smaller blows, hoping that she would stop struggling against the hold so she could lock it in without resistance.

[Fairy Dragon]

Grace felt Toshiko's anger and determination with that kick but Grace still hadn't let go of her and Toshiko wasnt about to let that stop her from getting any chance to get free. Hearing a roar from her opponent the women Grace felt her suddenly kicking at her face and trying to knock her senseless.

"Pfftt!" Grace's head was knocked upward a bit from one of the more well placed kicks and she was stopped from getting any progress. Her grip slipped and she knew that soon after she would be stuck in the hold once more.
