The left hook felt wrong from the moment he twisted forward: too wide and too high, leaving him open to the quick jab that landed on his temple. His head snapped back, teeth clacking closed, pain blooming as though an earthquake had cracked through his skull. The ring and surrounding area started to shift and spin, so Felix allowed his opponent to crowd him up against the ropes and curled his head in chin to chest, seeking refuge behind his gloved hands just to get his bearings until the ref stepped in and broke them up.
He collapsed into the metal folding chair in his corner, and a squirt of warm water hit his cheek and ear and dribbled down his neck. Head tipped back, aware of the clock counting down, Felix squinted at the crowd, a blurred and shimmering mirage screaming for their gladiators, screaming for glory.
Screaming for blood.
