(Boxing) Reverb vs. Bishop

[Samaritan]

Beej

Bishop gave a wink at his cabal mate.
"Looks like we are keeping this in the family, Mr. Reverb." he said nonchalantly, while climbing through the ropes into the ring. His gloves were tight and he felt a little jittery. It was his first sparring session in quite some time and while he was under no illusion about the outcome, he was determined to put up a good show at least.
He tilted his head and looked at his opponent.
"So, do you want this pure physical or with some help from other places?" he inquired. Had he been up against any arrow, he would have entered the ring shielded and preferably in the state of twilight, but with Reverb, Bishop wanted to meet on equal footings. Well...equalish. There was still his deteriorated physique to consider.

[Samaritan]

"Fair enough." Bishop shrugged and closed his eyes for a second.

Bishop felt the supernal energies culminating around him and forming a layer like a second skin. He gave a nod.
"All set. Ready." he said, extending one glove in a salute in Reverbs direction.

[Samaritan]

Bishops Def/Armor is 2/3 = 5

Bishop tried. Hard. Unfortunately, even though trying like a bastard did not really help at all, which resulted in him misjudging distances and having most of his blows either glance of the gloves of his opponent or outright missing him. In return he was at least capable to dodge a few harder blows and side-step here and there.

He was panting hard after the first round and in desparate need of some form of plan, strategy or tactic.

After a small break, he rose from his corner and raised his arm in a salute before going back into a guard-stance.

Initiative is set at the beginning of the combat. The only time you reroll is in the event of a tie. Bishop goes on 11, Revrb on 14, so Reverb ( Beej is up) is up.

[Samaritan]

Bishop saw an opportunity, when Reverb started to move on him. A flurry of blows hailed down on his own guard, some of it actually going past it and striking blows on his body and head. Bishop tried desparately to counter the moves, sidestep and landing some of his own punches. He had to mobilize what was left of his stamina in order to achieve a margin of success. Panting heavily, he was not sure if he had any success in what he was doing.
