As the sparring begin, Jason wrapped his gloves and put on his mouth guard, The Assistant coach ask him to wear an head gear but he refuses, underestimating the golden haired boy, the boy put on his gloves and mouth guard as he also refuses to wear a head gear, Caine become his cornerman, instruct him to keep the fight a short distance. Since Jason is an Outboxer, The boy nods, As Caine look at Him and ask him a question, "By the way, What's your name kid?" The boy looks at him and replied, "Vince.." Caine nodded, "Vince huh? I'll call you Vin instead." The bell rang, stating the sparring session.
As Caine got down from the ring and watches Vin as he spar with Jason, The two circled around each other, watching their every step, Jason steps in his front foot, and throws a fast lead hook, which caught Vin surprise, Jason smirked thinking he got him but Vince managed to block his hook, Jason steps back, as he was surprised that his punch didn't had a affect on him. Jason the tried to throw a fierce jab, but Vince managed to block again, Frustrated, Jason throwed flurry of jabs, backing Vince to the ropes, Jason smirks knowing he trapped Vince in the ropes throwed a powerful cross,
He thought he got him, but Vince managed to dodge it by slipping to the side, just then a fast powerful uppercut connect to Jason's chin, making him stumble back by the punch, Jason tried to shake it off, but he caught him good.
Jason looks at Vince with Wary, Put his guard up, As he waited for Vince to throw a second punch, He noticed Vince steps his front foot in, Making him tighten his guard, As he slowly approached Jason, Making Jason steps back, but Jason realized this is making him a bit nervous, puts his courage up and stop stepping back and waiting for Vince to attack, Vince steps a little closer, Jason saw this and throw a flurry of jabs, thinking he got him, but Vince showed a amazing head movement dodging every punches Jason throws, this made Caine and the Assistant Coach a bit surprised with Vince skills, Then Vince caught Jason trapped against the ropes, so he took the moment to punish Jason with barge of punches landing every second.
It caught Caine surprise with a amount of power he's giving Jason, Which makes his smug grow wider, Jason who's covering his face couldn't see the punches coming, tried his best to dodge his punches, Jason looks down and thought of something, He steps on Vin's toes and tried to push him to the ground, he managed to push Vince off but Vince was saved by gravity, as he keeps weight up as he leans back and throw a powerful uppercut connecting to Jason jaw, knocking him out a second, as he followed the upercut with a overhand but Jason was saved the bell as the bell rang.
The referee for the sparring stops Vince for throwing the overhand, As he told Vince to get back to his corner, which Vince followed and went back, Jason on the other hand still knocked out and was waken up by the referee slapping on his cheek, He pushed the guy off and frustratedly went back to his corner, Jason took a deep breath, as he glance at Vince, who looks nonchalantly calm about the fight, he underestimated Vince a bit, As he thought he got the upper hand since he was more experienced than him. But Surprisingly It was the opposite he was out skilled by Vince, He never thought someone with no experience of boxing could be this skilled. Which make Jason a bit skeptical, If Vince was taking PEDs or he's just naturally skilled.
Round 2 begins, As Caine went back to the floor, as he watches the fight continued, Jason watched Vince closely, As they circled around each other, Jason then throws a one two combo but it was dodge by
Vince and counter with a body shot, making Jason trying the caught his breath, He weakly guarded his body, but he made his face open, so he was caught by a fast lead hook, followed by a cross, which made Jason fall down to the ground for the first time.
Jason's Pov:
"Damn it! How I am I losing to a punk, Tch-! A Olympic Boxer getting beat by a punk, Pathetic."
Jason stood up from the 5th count, As He goes recklessly throwing barge of punches at Vince,"Down! Down! Fall down! Fall down! Fall down! Fall down!" Unaware, He didn't notice that Vince was able to escape his attack, fall down to the ground the second time. "What just happened?! Why I'm on the ground!" He tried to remember what got him, Was that a Hook? To the face? To the body? He tried to remember what it him, it was fast that he didn't see it coming.
He couldn't get back up so he stayed down on the floor.
Everyone in the gym couldn't believe it that a Kid with no experience defeated a Olympic Boxer who was gold medalist, Jason slammed his fist to the ground, couldn't accept what happened, He stood up and tried to approached Vince trying to get back, but he was stopped by the referee of the sparring, "It's over man! Let it go!" But Jason just push him away and put his hand on Vince shoulder. "Where the hell do you think you're going?" He angrily said, But Caine spoke up with stern tone on his voice which sends Jason shivers run down his spine, "It's over.. Now keep your hands off, my boxer." Jason couldn't believe what's hearing. "Your boxer? Pftt- I thought I was the-!" But he was caught off, "You're off my gym.." Jason refuses. "What do you mean?! So you'll pick a inexperienced punk who's naturally good at boxing, rather than a guy who won the Olympics and the Golden gloves! I thought you liked me!" He said, "I was, but... I read your background." This made Jason shocked.
"Yes, you're background, I heard that you been taking Performance enhancing drug during your fights, and you paid off a official to let you win." Caine said, As everyone started to whisper, Jason looks around anxiously and clenched his teeth and stormed off the gym, The guys in gym were disgusted and angered by Jason's background, They thought he was cheating whole time.
