Maya vs Aiden- 4 (Patreon)

Ding

Round 2 begins and both Aiden and Maya leap out of their corners, eager to resume the beatdown on each other.

A courtesy glove tap and a brief nod is all they need before the brawl begins.

For the first half of the fight, they're evenly matched- Maya scores some clean hits, snapping Aiden's head back, but Aiden always seems to find a way roaring back to return the blows back to Maya.

In the final 30 seconds, Maya gets cornered and Aiden unleashes a brutal left uppercut into her chin, sending her back arcing hard against the corner pad.

"Hnnh!" Maya involuntarily grunts, but she bites down on her mouthguard and swings back blindly.

*bam* Her right cross lands directly onto Aiden's cheek, distorting his face as he staggers.

"Huff...huff" both of them collapse against each other, hindering their movements and preserving their energy as the seconds tick down for round 2.

"BREAK!" yells the referee, pushing Aiden back and pulling Maya off him. In that moment, the bell rings.
