Round One of Three
As soon as the bell rang, both Brandy and Angela put their gum shields into their mouths and took their stances, immediately getting into fight mode as Bella stepped aside.
"Ugh!" Brandy was taken off-guard when Angela shot across the ring, delivering a right hook into the side of Brandy's stomach that sent her staggering back into the ropes. She cried out as Angela kept her pinned on the ropes and continued striking that point a few times, eventually forcing Brandy to wrap her arms around Angela's back and push them into the centre of the ring.
"OOF!" Angela returned the bearhug, trapping both women in a clinch as their still covered breasts pressed and mashed into each other. Both were biting their lips and groaning as this happened, mostly out of pain, but neither would say that they weren't enjoying it to an extent as well.
"Alright girls, break it up. Break it up!" Bella grabbed both women by the shoulders and separated them from it, but the two were still struggling to get at each other despite it.
Angela shrugged off Bella's hand and pushed Brandy playfully, before a somewhat less-happy Brandy responded with an uppercut to Angela's cleavage. "AGH!"
"Hey! That was a cheap shot!" Bella pushed Brandy back as Angela stumbled onto one knee, clutching the right side of her chest. "You okay, Angela?"
"I'm... ugh... I'm fine..." Angela's voice was slurred and some spit dribbled out of her mouth with the gum shield forcing her teeth together, pulled herself back up to her feet, before Bella turned back to Brandy and said "alright. When I split you guys up, you don't hit each other til I say so. You pull something like that again, Brandy, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to deduct a point."
Brandy calmed down a bit as she nodded, her mouth being affected by the gum shield as Angela's was as she said "alright. Fine."
"Good. We good here?" Bella asked as both fighters nodded. "Alright. Box!"
Bella stepped aside as Angela immediately got her revenge, sending a fist into Brandy's cleavage as the latter wheezed out in slight shock. Brandy stumbled back into the ropes, breathlessly laughing as she put her forearm over her chest. "You fucking... ugh... fucking bitch!"
"You hit me there first." Angela shrugged with a smirk, letting Brandy take a second to recover before they got back into it, spending the next minute or so exchanging smaller, more careful jabs than before.
Both their fists were up shielding their bosoms now, but that didn't stop either of them from aiming there with a jab or two. Angela had taken at least two shots to the right breast and could feel the fabric becoming undone on the left side of her bra. And Brandy clearly knew this was the case since she kept hitting that same spot every time she saw an opening.
With Brandy's chest defence being somewhat more effective than her own, Angela needed to make her own damage elsewhere, so she'd focused mostly on the stomach and the face. Brandy had a bruise growing in the same spot Angela had hit at the start of the round, and a small split on her bottom lip was slowly oozing out little droplets of blood down her chin. Angela could sense that Brandy was backing into the ropes again, so it seemed she was running scared and an opportunity for a knockout was open. Oh, how wrong she was.
She went for Brandy's stomach again, but the latter narrowly dodged the punch and managed to intercept Angela's defence, directly burying her fist in Angela's left breast. Angela was taken off guard by this, pressing both gloved hands to her struck bosom and allowing Brandy to send a lucky left hook into her face.
SLAM! Angela landed front-first on the canvas, prompting Bella to immediately move Brandy aside and send the latter to her corner. "Alright, she's down! She's down for the count!"
Angela coughed a bit as she got on all fours. She could already feel the sting of the growing bruise on her cheek and the small trail of blood that was leaking down from the corner of her mouth, as well as the throbbing pain from the punches on her chest.
"One!"
Her hearing had been distorted slightly due to the shock, but Angela knew that Bella had already begun to count her our, so her recovery time would have to be limited.
"Two!"
Brandy was waiting in her corner still. Her face seemed to be confident that she was going to win here, but also betrayed a hint of concern that she'd actually left some lasting damage on Angela with that last attack.
"Three!"
Angela took a few more deep breaths. She'd spoken to Goldie Blair a while back about what to do in this situation, and Goldie had told her not to rush to her feet and to regain as much energy as possible.
"Four!"
It was at this point when Angela finally hooked her arms to the ropes besides, exhaling as she pulled on them to lift herself up. The smile on Brandy's face seemed to shrink a bit when she realised that the fight wasn't over quite yet.
"Five!"
"I... I'm good. I'm good..." Angela wheezed out as she finally got to her feet again. Her knees buckled a bit for a moment or two, so it was clear that Bella would still need some more convincing.
"Six! You're okay?" Bella took both of Angela's hands and shook them, Angela nodding as she finally regained enough breath to speak properly. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I can do this..."
"Alright... fighters..."
DING!-DING!
All three women sighed as the bell marked the end of Round One. Brandy brushed her hair out of her eyes as she returned to her corner, while Angela used the back of her arm to wipe the blood off of her mouth and slumped back to the seat in her corner.
"You want that off?" Bella asked as Angela looked down to her bra, the left cup of which was torn and had her breast hanging out. She still had her gloves on so she couldn't do anything about it, instead nodding breathlessly as she said "yeah... it'd be nice of you..."
"You got it." Bella reached her hand to Angela's bra, the latter lifting her arms as Bella pulled it up over her head, letting both her breasts flop down free again. There was a slight bruising on the right and both were sweaty after being trapped in that bra, so Bella took the liberty of taking a damp sponge and pressing it to Angela's bosom as the latter exhaled in relief.
Brandy wolf-whistled from across the ring as she saw this, and Bella noticed a slight rose blush tinting Angela's cheek when it happened. She patted Angela on the back, saying "you still think you can do this?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine." Angela wheezed out as she flipped her head up, whipping the hair out of her face as she slapped her gloves together. "I'm ready..."
"Alright. Round Two coming up..." Bella smirked as she returned to her usual area of the ring. "Ready ladies?"
Angela and Brandy both nodded and stood back up with their fists propped back up again, prompting Bella to nod back to the direction of the bell.
DING!-DING!-DING!
