"YEAHHHH!!!"
The crowd erupted in loud cheers, voices clashing together as two boys fought inside the drawn circle.
"Come on, Bobby! You can do it!" a boy shouted, raising his fist high into the air, his voice cracking from excitement.
Bobby stood inside the ring, breathing slightly heavier than usual, his arms raised as he blocked punch after punch from the boy in front of him. The difference in strength was obvious. The other boy's blows carried more weight, more confidence, and better form, but Bobby didn't fall.
He endured, adjusted, and stepped back at the right time.
He raised his guard just enough and that alone made the crowd even louder.
No one expected this.
"I didn't know Bobby got this good," Veda said, sitting beside Ezra, his eyes fixed on the fight.
Ezra glanced at him briefly before returning his gaze forward.
"He improved."
