Takeshi Kawai vs Ryo Kamiya

Standard match: Win decided by pinfall, submission, or knockout

Takeshi stretched lightly as he waited for his signal to make his entrance to the ring preparing for his upcoming match against Ryo Kamiya. He thought back to what he had discovered while watching some of the other's matches while unleashing several jabs for shadow boxing. He could tell that the other had skill as a wrestler but the aspect that made him cautious was his tendency to add a pervy style to his matches, something the boxer was not accustomed to yet. He pushed his thoughts away as he got the signal and emerged at the top of the ramp to his entrance theme and hearing the cheers from his fans. Grinning he made his way down the ramp, letting a few jabs out as he did so. Stepping between the ropes he raised a fist as his fans cheered before he leaned in one of the corners, waiting for his opponent.

He didn't have to wait long, as Ryo came down the ramp soon after, his music blaring over the P.A. system, getting a large pop from the crowd, the most popular of the Kamiyas waving to the crowd, slapping various hands, and, as usual, wearing absolutely nothing but his trademark speedo, in a green color this time.

This was a new opponent for Ryo, one he hadn't really heard anything about, except that he came from AFW's smaller boxing league. Admittedly, it was cause for some concern, as he had never actually faced a boxer before, and strikes were hardly his strong point. Still, he felt confident he could handle it!

Getting in the ring, he smiled at his opponent, placing his hands on his hips and leaning a little, showing off his lithe body for all to see.

"Hey there, names Ryo Kamiya. Nice to meet you! You up for a good, fun, fight?"

Takeshi watched as the theme of his opponent began to play and he spotted him appearing on the top of the ramp. He had to blink as he heard the large cheers from the crowd, Ryo certainly was a popular face in the league it seemed.

As he waited for the other to come down the ramp he took note of how slim the other was, though he wasn't about to underestimate him just because of that. After his time in boxing he was well aware that any opponent could be fearsome if underestimated.

Once the other entered the ring and gave his introduction Takeshi blinked once more before chuckling a bit, "Takeshi Kawai, same to you. And of course, that's why I've come here after all." He replied in turn.

Oh good, he was pleasant. AFW was rife with fighters that ranged from just mean spirited to outright insane, so anytime he got to fight a fun and friendly guy, it was a plus.

As an added bonus, this Takeshi was certainly a looker as well! Tall, handsome, nice build, Ryo could just picture what he looked like out of that boxing attire...and the image was quite nice.


He gave a brief bow, showing traditional respect, before raising his arms up in a grappling stance, starting to move out towards the center of the ring, waiting for the bell to ring. "Alright, sounds good to me, just don't get too mad at me when I win, alright?"

Takeshi raised an eyebrow at the other's words after returning the bow that the speedo wearing male had given. "Well at the very least you aren't lacking for confidence." He mused with a dry tone before a slight smirk formed. "But get too ahead of yourself and you'll be looking up at the lights." He added in return.

He steps back after saying this, doing a few more finishing stretches before getting into a boxing stance. When the bell rang he would dash towards Ryo, aiming a straight at his face to start the match off and test the other male!

Ryo hadn't much experience with strikers, certainly not boxers. He was used to wrestlers, people wanting to start things off with a simple grapple, in order to test strength and eagerness. He kept his arms up, stepping in closer as the bell rang, intending to grapple as usual.

It was a mistake, his un-familiarity with pure strikers and their style costing him, as Takeshi dashed in and swung, his fist smashing right into Ryo's cheek, causing the adorable and nearly nude fighter to stumble back several steps, letting out a whimper as he rubbed his stinging cheek. "GEEZ! Who starts out with a punch to the face!? Who does that!?"

Takeshi took a step back after feeling the punch connect, a small smirk forming, it seems someone didn't have much experience with someone who utilizes strikes. Listening to the other's complaints he let out a small chuckle as he moved to get behind Ryo.

"Welcome to facing a boxer Ryo, for your sake I hope you're a fast learner." He replied before moving his arms around Ryo's waist, "But if it's not to your style I can try some grappling!" And with that he would aim to try and lift the other to begin a German Suplex!

Ryo was still rubbing his stinging cheek, not paying enough attention, when he felt a strong grip around his waist, yelping as Takeshi started to lift him up!

"N-No wait! Hey sto-GHH!"

He cried out, being dropped onto his head and shoulders with the painful and surprising german suplex, wondering if this guy was a striker or a wrestler or both or none or anything!

Takeshi smirked a bit as he managed to pull off the suplex and let go of his grip around his waist before getting to his feet. "Huh, wasn't sure how it would go but it seems the training in wrestling has been paying off." He noted as he stepped back.

He would then move over to Ryo, before beginning to move to get the other back to his feet. If not countered in the process he would move to give him an Irish Whip into the ropes!

"Ok Ryo, this guy can hit hard and throw hard, get back in this before he gets too many hits on you!"

Shaking his head, Ryo mentally chastised himself for starting things off on a wrong foot, and letting getting punched in the face distract him so. Quick to recover, the nearly nude boy was pulled up to his feet, recognizing he was about to be whipped across the ring. Quickly, as he was being sent towards the ropes, he turned his body around, gripping Takeshi's wrist to keep them connected, reversing the irish whip so he could whip Takeshi into the rope himself, following behind to knee the boxer in the stomach when he rebounded!
