featherweights
JJ wears one lime-green and one pink-red ankle support, dances gamely to 90s punk on the walk-in. He kicks the legs from Tutt’s stance, punches the scowl from his face, beats the body from the build, and delivers a beautiful Vaseline kiss to his girlfriend as he hops the rope and dances backstage to the shower. middleweights Morgan has a tattoo of Jimi Hendrix’ smiling face on his bicep, and its jaws have widened over years of weight training. He’s forced to use Jimi’s forehead as a shield against Te Huna’s head-kicks until the bicep’s tissue ruptures and the colour of Jimi’s brain starts to peer through Morgan’s skin. heavyweights Hikaka grins a sliver of blue mouthpiece, performs the wai-khru: three-second bows to trainer and club six for the holy heritage of Muay Thai before hunting Dallas down with sharp hooks to the body, his mouth still a perfect piece of blue.
