Re: "From the Streets to the Ring"-- The Story of Brenden Wheeler (FNR3)
I couldn't believe that I was about to fight for the Amateur Middleweight Belt, sure it was only for Amateurs but I still felt like this was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, maybe it was.
My opponent was Dwayne Randall, he has a record of 7 Wins, 3 of his Wins coming by way of Knock Out, and he has never lost. He is a very dirty fighter, if the fight isn't going his way he headbutts his opponents, he also likes to meet up in the middle of the ring with his opponent and just square off. I'll have to move around and tire him out and then punch him out.
To start the First Round I danced around the ring, dodging his punches and every once in a while throwing a jab or a hook. After a while it started to get old though and he started cutting me off, so I relied on counter punching which I'm pretty good at. We started to square off and I was getting the better of him, I landed a very good connection when out of no where I felt a sharp pain on my forehead, the ref went over to Dwayne and was telling him something, that's when I realized I had been headbutted. I finished the round strong after he pissed me off by headbutting me.
"You're doing great, this kid is a dirty fighter. All you gotta do is keep weaving out of the way of his punches, this kid gets tired pretty quick and if you can't tell, he's kinda out of shape."
I ran out of my corner like a raging bull when I heard the bell to start the Second Round, I tried dancing around the ring but once again he cut me off so I had to rely on my counter punching. I was doing great though, he was already getting tired and I was starting to think I might knock him out. That's when he headbutted me again, I felt blood trickle down my forehead. Did I quit from a little cut though? No, instead I got even more angry and I started connecting big time, I threw a right hook and down he went! The count went to 7 and then he got up, I decided to just dance around the ring for the remaining 7 seconds and then the bell rung.
"Kid... I think you might be the new champ! Now I don't want to get to ahead of myself, so keep the game plan in effect, you're doing great kid."
During the Third Round I was more relaxed, I knew at any moment I could end this fight, and I wanted to end it quick so I pressed the action slowly but enough to do something. He was the one running around the ring now as he tried in every way he could to avoid my punches. For a moment he left his chin wide open, he wasn't blocking it at all, I capitalized on the opportunity and connected with a huge uppercut that sent him tumbling to the ground again! This time the count went to 8, I couldn't believe he was still fighting after the beating I was giving him. The Round ended soon after and I went over to my corner.
"Listen kid, you've already got this fight, there's no way that you're losing on the score card, go out there and just avoid him. Even though you're picking him apart he is still a dangerous fighter, he can just as easily knock you out if you get too cocky."
The Fourth Round started and I danced around the ring while, for a change he started chasing me, I didn't mind though. His punches had almost no affect on me and they were too slow, so it was easy to dodge them, I let him wear himself out and then I finished the fight with a quick combination that sent him to the canvas for a count of ten.
I was overwhelmed with happiness and didn't really know what to do, I jumped up on my trainers shoulders and him and the rest of my crew carried me around the ring with my arms up, I just basically jumped around the ring in excitement after that. It was pretty embarrassing, but I really didn't care because I was the new middleweight Champion.
