He had won. It had felt so good. Vince Cooper, down in the last round, won adjacent the giant. It was really a David and Goliath situation. Lamont Fenris had been God. He had given him the means to the defeat the man. The end had gone like this: Vince was down. He was almost done. Lamont had whispered a few words into his ear. Form then, Vince exposed the man's weaknesses and was able to pull out a full knockout: a loose jaw.
The pyro had been steaming by the end. Once the man was down he kept the same expression he'd walking in with. Calm and solemn, Vince pulled his shirt over his sweat covered body and cashed out. He rushed out the door before the crowd made it out, duffle bag stuffed full with cash. He threw it over his shoulder and hurried around to the side of the building and sat down on an empty crate near the garbage.
The adrenaline was still pumping. The crowd had roared in Vince's favor unanimously. As they fled out he heard people shout about how they knew he would win. He hated the crowd for that. They took the winning side no matter the circumstance.
As they all hopped in their cars and left - rowdy as ever - Vince heard the side door of the building speak open and slam shut behind someone. He sat up against the outside wall in the shadows with his hand glowing red over his soar shoulder. He lowered his head to keep the attention away from some drunken oaf wanting an autograph or waiting to give some congratulation.
Vince wasn't proud of the win. He felt that he'd tarnished the whole sport of boxing.
