[Standard Match] Charlotte Ravel' vs Callie May - Whose kicks are better?

[skip-stop]

Taking the initiative at the beginning of the match is an important step to lay the foundation for success. However, Charlotte knew better than anyone that this was not a reason for self-confidence. Therefore, she hastened to close her rival in a submission hold in order to weaken her.

When the Sand Lizard locked Callie's legs and then wrapped her arm around Callie's neck, the brown-haired woman panicked. This was clearly indicated by the scream she made. Panic is a serious enemy that cannot be forgotten. Allowing herself to cry out in pain, Callie lost some oxygen, which should have made it easier for the Frenchwoman, because her main goal was to squeeze as much strength out of Callie as possible.

Nevertheless, after a few seconds, Callie was able to pull herself together. She quickly realized that it would take her a long time to try to loosen Charlotte's grip. Instead, she began the path to the ropes, actively moving her elbows. This made the pink-haired woman smile a little. It seems she was not mistaken when she saw that Callie has the spirit of a real fighter.

However, she wasn't going to simplify the task for the brown-haired woman. Charlotte strained her legs in order to increase the pressure on Callie's legs, she wanted her opponent's joints to be filled with pain. And although she could not strengthen the grip of her arms, she tried to lean back in order to squeeze her opponent's throat even harder.

Considering that Callie was crawling to the ropes very quickly, the Sand Lizard was sure that soon she would have to let go of the American woman, but this does not mean that she could not postpone this moment. It seems this opinion was also held by the referee, who approached them and added a little fuel to the fire. How? By asking a question that almost every fighter hated.

"Callie, you give up?"

[Epicsnivy]

Callie could feel herself getting closer and closer to the ropes that would force Charlotte to let go of this very painful hold that was stretching her legs and making her lose air, two things she definitely needs in order to fight Charlotte. Sher crawled and crawled, her fingertips about to touch the ropes.

Then Charlotte pulled back even further. “AAAAGH!” Callie screamed, being surprised at the sudden pullback by Charlotte, something that caught her off guard.

Then Callie’s face of agony became a face of agony as soon as she was asked if she wanted to give up. “NO CHANCE!” Callie yelled before she attempted to make one last crawl towards the ropes.

[skip-stop]

Charlotte wasn't going to play giveaway. Yes, she respected her opponent's fighting spirit and her skills, but they came here to find out who was the best. Therefore, the pink-haired woman intended to do everything in her power to ensure that Callie did not get to the ropes so easily. When her opponent was only a few inches away from the goal, the Sand Lizard tried to put maximum pressure on her opponent's legs and neck.

This caused Callie to stop and let out a cry full of pain. The referee, who had been with them the whole time, decided that this was the right moment to ask if the American woman wanted to give up. And although Charlotte was sure in advance what the answer would be, she still smiled after Callie rigidly refused to give up.

Gathering her strength in order to overcome the pain, the brown-haired woman forced herself to make a final rush forward, after which she was able to grab the bottom rope. The referee opened her mouth to order Charlotte to let Callie go, but the Sand Lizard relaxed her arms and legs even before the striped shirt said anything.

"Rope break!"

After freeing her rival's legs and neck, Charlotte got off Callie and got to her feet. Thanks to the efforts that the American woman made in order to get to the ropes, she deserved applause from the audience. For a few seconds, Charlotte just stared at her opponent, as if she was thinking about something. Perhaps some assumed that she was deciding how best to continue her offensive, but...

"Well done..." she said.

Charlotte took a few steps back, creating some space between them. And although she clenched her fists after that, she intended to give her opponent enough time to get to her feet unhindered. Callie definitely deserved it.

[Epicsnivy]

Callie was still in immense pain from the submission hold she was in, having to take some deep breaths from the hold. Her legs were in pain, and she was nearly choked out. She was still able to make a small smirk as the fans made some applause for her guts in getting out of the hold, lots of other ladies would have probably called it quits.

Callie held onto the ropes after a few seconds, and decided to use the ropes to pull herself back up to her feet, before leaning back on the ropes for a bit. You will wish it would have been that easy to beat me!” Callie replied.

After a few more seconds, Callie would start closing the distance with Charlotte, slowly and carefully approaching her. Using a straightforward approach probably would not work with another experienced fighter like Charlotte, so she would have to try something else.

So, Callie attempted to throw a kick towards Charlotte’s head, only this time, it was a feint, as she would instead use her other leg to attempt to sweep Charlotte right off her legs.

[skip-stop]

Charlotte calmly waited for her opponent to get to her feet. To do this, Callie had to use each rope as support, but this was not surprising, because the submission hold that the Sand Lizard used, among other things, allowed her to damage Callie's legs to some extent. Nevertheless, soon enough, the American woman got to her feet, which the audience met with excited noise.

The martial arts master did not expect gratitude or anything like that, but she was surprised by the audacious phrase of her rival, who apparently did not appreciate the wide gesture of the Sand Lizard at all. Charlotte's left eyebrow rose for a second, and then she decided to allow herself to respond to her rival in the same manner.

"Prove it!"

Yes, Charlotte has always tried to keep her cool and not react to such audacious antics of her rivals, but sometimes even she is not able to contain her emotions. This was one such case.

When Callie started to close the distance between them, the Sand Lizard did the same. And although she had a plan, her opponent was the first to take the initiative, it became obvious at the moment when the American woman swung her right leg.

Being sure that it would be a kick aimed at her head, the pink-haired woman quickly bent her knees to move her head from the line of attack. However, instead of feeling Callie's foot pass over her head, Charlotte widened her eyes as no kick followed. Instead, Callie put her foot on the mat, thereby taking a step forward, and then abruptly turned around on her axis, using a low spinning sweep kick. In the blink of an eye, the ground disappeared from under the Sand Lizard's feet. Not having time to group up, she fell hard on the mat, hitting the back of her head hard.

"Ghhh!!!" She groaned in a strangled voice, involuntarily covering her head with her hands.

[Epicsnivy]

Callie’s trickery managed to work, as she managed to fake out Charlotte with a kick before heading low and sweeping her underneath the legs, and knocking her on her head. Callie knew that Charlotte’s head was now a weak point, especially know that she was covering it.

Callie let out a confident smile before putting her next maneuver into motion. She needed to get Charlotte to stop covering her head, so she needed to make her cover something else.

Callie would walk over to Charlotte, and attempt to stomp on her left foot, hopefully that would force Charlotte into a seated position to cover her foot, so Callie can deliver a kick to the head of Charlotte.

[skip-stop]

There was no doubt that Charlotte was in a dangerous position. Of course, she did not expect that the whole match would be under her control, she knew that her opponent's skill level was very high. However, she was ready to admit that the tables had turned too quickly. She made a mistake and paid the price.

Once on the mat, the Sand Lizard covered her head with her hands in an attempt to ease the pain. But, sensing success, Callie immediately continued the offensive, not giving the Frenchwoman even one second to rest. This was fair, because like Charlotte, Callie was striving to win. But...

"KIAAA!" Charlotte yelped.

For a moment, she felt as if someone had dropped an anvil on her ankle. Her body reacted as quickly as possible. The Frenchwoman took a sitting position in one movement, clutching her damaged ankle with her hands. It was a really wild pain. But perhaps she felt even more pain in her soul at that moment. She realized what her opponent had just done. And although not everyone would agree with her opinion, she considered such an attack not something a real fighter should be proud of.

Nevertheless, this attack gave Callie what she wanted, because by grabbing her ankle, Charlotte left her head completely defenseless. This is exactly what led to the fact that just a second after she took a sitting position, her opponent's foot crashed into her skull.

Charlotte's head jerked sharply to the side, and a thin stream of saliva flew out of her mouth. The pink-haired woman collapsed face down on the mat. Bells were ringing in her ears and she was groaning softly through clenched teeth because of the pain that engulfed not only her head, but her entire body.

[Epicsnivy]

Callie had indeed learned through her matches about how different a professional fight and a wrestling match could be, and that she needed to divert her strategies and try different things if she wanted to succeed in this brand-new world. When she smacked Charlotte with that kick to the face, an energetic smile burst from the high energy wrestler, knowing that what she did worked out perfectly.

Callie, however, knew she could not leave Charlotte alone for long, there was certainly a chance that Charlotte could counter at any moment, so Callie had to act fast.

Getting behind Charlotte, Callie went down to her knees, and attempted to push Charlotte up in a seated position, before grabbing Charlotte and putting her in a Chin Lock, hoping to wear her down.

Knowing that a basic chin lock probably wouldn’t be enough, Callie would attempt to pull her leg back, and give Charlotte a couple of knee strikes on her back.

[skip-stop]

Once on the mat, Charlotte clenched her teeth hard, but even after that she continued to make soft groans. An optimist would say that was a good thing, because it meant that she was still conscious. On the other hand, she felt as if she had been hit in the head with a baseball bat. Even during the meeting at the gym, she was convinced that Callie has a real talent, but it's one thing to just know it, and it's quite another thing to feel it for yourself.

"Ghhh..."

Realizing that she was in a very vulnerable position, the Sand Lizard tried to force herself to take a deep breath in the hope that it would somehow ease the pain in her head. However, it didn't help much. By the time she started moving, the brown-haired woman had already knelt down behind her.

"Mmhhh..." Charlotte groaned in displeasure and even slightly irritated at the moment when Callie grabbed her and forced her to a sitting position.

Although, of course, the worst was ahead. As soon as Charlotte was in a sitting position, the American woman immediately grabbed her chin and began to pull her back, thereby arching both her neck and her entire back. Instantly, the Sand Lizard threw both hands up and grabbed Callie's hands in an attempt to loosen her grip. But as soon as she did it…

"GAH! GAH!!!"

Her opponent's knee started crashing into her back over and over again. Charlotte was still feeling unwell after the powerful kick and her situation continued to worsen. She felt that under the hail of knee strikes, she simply would not be able to strain her arms hard enough to break Callie's grip. Therefore, she intended to use a trick.

Charlotte was going to reach back with her right hand in order to grab Callie by the back of the head, at the same time reaching with her left hand to her opponent's right elbow. The Sand Lizard was fully aware that due to the fact that she was in a sitting position, this movement was unlikely to cause any damage, but if successful, she would at least be able to create a distance between them. Therefore, if she had managed to grab Callie's elbow and the back of her head, she would have tried to lean forward sharply in an attempt to throw the brown-haired woman forward with a kind of snapmare.

[Epicsnivy]

Before joining LAW as a professional wrestler, Callie had very little experience with grappling, especially with stuff like holds. It was pretty much something she had to learn on the job, especially as she took on more and more matches. And it was all coming together here.

Having Charlotte in a Chinlock meant her bare back was exposed, meaning Callie was at the moment free to strike her back with as many hard knees as she could fit in the time span. A really confident grin emitted from Callie’s face, only occasionally broken up with a grimace, from the head pain of Charlotte’s earlier submission hold. “Hope your having a nice back massage.” Callie decided to rub her current position in.

While she was busy embezzling Charlotte’s back with knee strikes, Charlotte did something that the brunette did not expect. She did not notice her elbow being grabbed or Charlotte wrapping her arm around Callie’s neck.

“WOAH!” Callie yelped as she was suddenly thrown from her position by Charlotte’s snapmare, crashing onto her back. Callie grimaced a little, before just laying on the mat.

Why would she do this? She was hoping to bait Charlotte into coming towards her, and regain the advantage from there.
