Wimbledon arena
The proud stage of the United Kingdom. Today there will be a 'charity' event between two siblings, a glorified. The theme was wet back to october 1805, a bare knuckle prize ring. An Ode to the black terror, one of TR's idols growing up Bill Richmond who is one of the world's first black superstar. Lord Byron wrote poems about this man, and went to his boxing school which is the first in London.
A milling is about to happen between two englishmen, a popular spectacles from the 1790's a century of king hits and knockouts. Beer, beef and strong the stuff that makes britain tough. Stripping to the waist, standing firm and punching people. For only Britain's toughest man, young boys wanted to be them. Heroes for honor and big money, jugglers and fire eaters were present for the festivities. 18th century prizefight rules, a mix between boxing and wrestling. Throws as well as blows, decided by the umpire. Kicking was allowed (which TR is unable to do), kidneys are valid targets and 'choppers' are legal moves within the ruleset.
This event can very well even go for through two hours. Minutes filled with men thrown over the shoulder, knuckling the eyes, head-butting and all sorts of unpleasantries. Hands can be easily disfigured, slugging it out until one of them was down or dead. TR is not planning to dance around anytime soon, he wants to exchange hits with his dear brother. Also a round ends when a man was “downed” by the opponent's punch. He was given thirty seconds to rest if thrown, and eight seconds to come to the center of the ring to resume fighting. When the man could not come to scratch or the center of the ring, he was considered the loser of the fight.
