Queen Hippo vs Merith

Hippo tapped her gloves together happily, smiling and backing up to let the ref start to count on her. She'd have to do some more poking around with her fists, but it seemed like she had a real target on her hands. The big girl wasn't much quicker than Hippo was, maybe a bit stronger, but clearly not dealing with the same level of endurance as she had as she wiggled her hips in a playful dance for the crowd

"Four.... Five.... !!"

Merith stayed in her position until she was able to breathe clearly once again. Merith slowly looked up at Hippo who was shaking her duff for the crowd, looking smug and happy. The Amazon grit her teeth, Hippo was one of the strongest foes she had faced and Merith certainly wasn't accustomed to taking blows of that magnitude. She would need to try and keep her stomach from harm's way.

"Six.... Seven.... Eight...!!"

Finally Merith pushed up to her feet before the count of nine and she wobbled a bit but quickly regained her balance, nodding to the ref as she checked on the redhead. She then signaled to continue and Merith cautiously circled Hippo, watching her belly gently jiggle with her movement. It was almost like a lure, Merith wanted to attack her jiggling stomach badly but knew that it was one of her foe's most armored areas. Instead Merith closed in and tried to fake Hippo out, going for a jab to the stomach but would then switch at the last second to throw a strong uppercut towards Hippo's chin

Hippo's jiggly body moved in a slow mirror of Merith, if not a bit more like a funhouse mirror than a vanity. She moved swiftly to parry the belly blow, but hardly saw the uppercut coming in time. "Whoop!" she yelped in surprise, stumbling clumsily backward. She'd barely had the reflexes to dodge back in time to avoid it, but her weight and sudden footwork made her wildly off balance as she staggered backward from the swing, wide open as she hurried to regain her wits and guard

Like a shark to blood in the water, Merith pounced on the opening, keeping the pressure on Hippo while she stayed in close. As her foe struggled to regain her control, Merith would try to send a left into Hippo's right breast and then a right into Hippo's left. If both of those connected she would come across with a full power right hook to Hippo's cheek, trying to chop the thick tree down to the mat...

Hippo felt the sting of the first blow, then the second as they wobbled her pudgy breasts around, wincing and trying to raise a counter-blow when she was struck in the cheek, eyes widening suddenly and flopping messily to the mat, the ref coming over for the count. She rubbed her cheek with her glove, groaning softly, clearly down truly out but stunned by the blows

Merith gave a sigh of relief as her thick foe went down and it meant the redhead could go to the corner and take a breather. She went and leaned into the padding as she watched Hippo lay on the mat.

"One... Two... Three... !!"

Merith had a had time getting up because of her size so she thought it might go double for such a big girl like Queen Hippo. "Stay down..." Merith thought to herself.

"Four... Five... !!"

By 6, Hippo was huffing air and up to her knee, rising shortly after with a bit of a wobble but stable. The ref checked her and nodded to Merith, cuing the two to continue. "Won't get lucky again, muscles," Hippo chimed with a still cheery smile

"Still in the game huh? Guess you're tougher than you look." Merith answered back and waited for Hippo to be ready before she began to circle her again.

"Hoho, for such a pretty face I'm really quite solid," she said, bongoing on her belly with both gloves teasingly, almost inviting. She'd move her way in towards the muscle girl, following her circle to try and advance anyway. She'd try and surprise her with an early heavy hook to the face this time, rather than toy with her

"Uhnn!!!" Merith cringed from the surprising hook that actually rang Merith's bell quite hard. The large redhead stumbled back haphazardly until she was on the ropes, her arms anchored over the top ropes. Merith groaned dizzily, blinking rapidly in an attempt to regain her focus
