Chapter Ninety-one
The two weeks pass as Lucas trained his hardest and now stamina isn't even a problem.
Coach Fumio: "Did you see the betting odds?"
Coach Fumio asked.
Lucas: "No. What are they?"
Lucas asked checking to see.
Coach Fumio: "Usmapo is at a -50000 Favorite. And your a +50000 underdog. They think you stand no chance. People are saying KO in round one. So I trust that you'll play it safe and slowly pick him out."
Coach Fumio said as Lucas nods.
Lucas: "I will Coach. Please bet on me."
Lucas said to which Coach fumio laughed.
Coach Fumio: "I can't. But I'll get Dante to. He hasn't been around so he can bet. I'll get him to bet a thousand on you."
Coach Fumio said laughing.
Lucas: "Please do Coach. I'll win."
Lucas said before walking away.
Later Coach Fumio was calling someone.
Coach Fumio: "Hey Dante."
Coach fumio said over the phone.
Coach Dante: "Yes Fumio?"
Coach Dante asked.
Coach Fumio: "Bet ten thousand on Lucas."
Coach Fumio said.
Coach Dante: "Are you insane!? He's a +50000 Underdog he doesn't stand a chance against Usmapo!"
Coach Dante yelled over the Phone.
Coach Fumio: "Trust me. He's different. He has the look that Renjiro has. But this time I wasn't a bad coach and I got him to do what he needed to do."
Coach Fumio said hanging up.
Coach Dante: "Fine. You're an insane old man. But I'll bet it if I have too."
Coach Dante said betting ten thousand dollars on Lucas.
But Coach Dante accidently added an extra zero making it one hundred thousand dollars.
Coach Dante: "Oh crap!"
Coach Dante accidently pressed lock in instead of Back out.
Coach Dante: "I may feint."
Coach Dante said sitting down.
Later Lucas was in the locker room getting his fist wrapped by Coach Fumio.
Coach Fumio: "He's 14-0. And he has every win by KO. He's like Aito but faster. And stronger. He's the champion for a reason."
Coach Fumio said as Lucas tested the hand wraps.
Lucas: "Good."
Lucas said jabbing.
Coach Fumio: "Remember the Game plan. Target the infraorbital region, blind him and cut him and make the fight end by stoppage. There's no other way to win this Lucas. You need a stoppage."
Coach Fumio said cleaning Lucas mouthpiece.
Lucas: "Yeah I know."
Lucas said pivoting.
Usmapo walks out to the ring first the crowd cheers as this is the main event they're waiting for.
Park: "Hello everyone I'm Here with Mark to my left and Lark to my Right."
Park says in the commentary booth.
Mark: "Welcome everyone. And tonight is a weird match up. The C-1 fighter Lucas Woods was going to be cut from the school unless he fought for the belt next fight. And surprisingly his old bad blooded rival Usmapo challenged him."
Mark says as Lark nods.
Lark: "As a 25-4 retired boxer at this school many say Lucas doesn't even win a round vs Usmapo."
Lark said as Usmapo leaned on the ropes Lucas walking out next.
Mark: "Talking about Lucas here he comes now."
Lucas walks out calm but ready.
Coach Fumio: "Remember the plan."
Coach Fumio said as Lucas stepped into the ring.
Mark: "Lucas looks calm. He's not even sweating!"
Mark said surprised as the others were too.
Lucas: "(I'm so nervous I could crap myself.)"
Lucas thinks as he swallows hard looking over at Usmapo.
Announcer: "And now! For your main event of the evening! Itssssssssss Time! Eight rounds for the C class belt."
The Announcer said Turing to Lucas.
Announcer: "Introducing first. The Challenger! FIGHTING out of the blue corner, Standing 5 feet 8 inches and weighing in at 135 pounds. The former Lightweight C class title challenger, holding a professional record of 10 wins, 6 losses and 4 draws. Lucas WOODS!"
Some people cheer in the crowd but not many.
Announcer: "And now, introducing the Jr lightweight champion of the C rank! FIGHTING out of the red corner, Standing 5 feet 7 inches, and weighing in at 130lbs. Holding a professional record of 14 wins mostly by KO, and zero losses. USMAPO TOWNSEND!"
Usmapo leans on the ropes with a grin looking around smug, chin high as he's ready and loose.
Lucas bounces off the ropes with a calm down chin.
Coach Fumio: "Remember the plan. And stick to it."
Coach Fumio said as the Ref steps in.
Ref: "Round one! Fight!"
The ref waved his hand as he stepped back.
