Part 1, The Ring of Fire

As Nikki and I drive out of Acapulco airport in the rental car my mind runs back the five days to when Nikki first asked me if I would be willing to act as her second for a fight in Mexico.

I had been going out with Nikki for 10 weeks and whilst she had told me about her fighting career, she had been unwilling for me to come and see her fight. But the girl who had agreed to act as her second at the Acapulco event had suddenly cried off, so Nikki had decided to ask me to do it instead.

Of course I said "Yes" immediately, and then she handed me this glossy black card:

   
"God, you're going fight naked!" I said, as my cock began to grow hard just with the thought of it.
"Yep, most of the fights I do are either naked or topless - that's what the guys want and that's why I get paid $2,000!"
"What the body-blow business mean?" I asked.
"It means that you can hit your opponent anywhere on the body, but not on the head or neck. If do you hit your opponent in that area you're disqualified and you don't get paid!"

So here we are on Saturday evening arriving at the venue (a very large house surrounded by several acres of watered lawns) having flow in from LA earlier that day. The actual event is being held in a tent on the lawn behind the house, well screened from the house and the road by a wall of tall evergreen trees.

It is now about 7 o'clock and the matches are due to start at 7:30, but we have plenty of time, as Nikki isn't scheduled to fight until later in the evening. We are met by a young guy at the front gate who takes us round the back of the house to an entrance that leads to a number of dressing rooms. He shows us into a small spartan changing room with its own shower area.

We are just starting to unpack Nikki's stuff when another man comes into the room. He introduces himself as the main organiser of the event.

"We had scheduled your match for later in the evening Nikki, but one of the girl's who is due to fight first hasn't shown yet, so would you mind going first?" he asks.

"Oh sure I don't mind going first" says Nikki, "Who am I fighting?"

"Oh thanks, Nikki you're a star! It would be good if you could be ready soon, as I would like to start as near to 7:30 as we can", he says already moving to the door. "Oh, and you're against Tara Hermosa."

As the man closes the door Nikki looks at me in horror and hisses. "Oh fucking hell, I'm up against Tara. She's one hell of a hard bitch! Still it's too late to do anything about it now, but I would rather fight somebody easier!"

Nikki quickly strips off her clothes and asks me to rub some light body oil into her back and legs while she applies it to her face, arms and front. Once we have finished applying oil, Nikki starts to do some warm-up exercises and I stand back and look at my lovely girlfriend. Her oiled skin glistens as she flexes and stretches her body, and the fine blonde down hairs sparkle on her arms and thighs.
Nikki is a natural blonde; she is also athletic and strong with a natural talent for sport. At 5'8" and 140 lbs she is also a formidable fighter.

"Come on Ricky snap out off it!" says Nikki breaking into my gaze of adoration as she puts on the gown that has been left for her on the bed.

"We need to check my ringside bag to make sure we have everything we need"

We have just finished checking the bag when the door opens and the young man enters. "Oh great Nikki, you're ready! I'll take you to the auditorium."

It is now completely dark, as he leads us out of the house and across the lawn to the large tent. Nikki and I enter the auditorium together and walk between the tiered ranks of seats towards the brightly lit ring. Tumultuous cheers rise from the crowd as we approach the ring, then I realise that Tara and her second are also entering the auditorium at the same time, so it is not possible to decide which fighter is being favoured by the audience.

Nikki gets into the ring and stands in the red corner, whilst Tara does the same in the blue corner. I stand just outside the ring waiting to help Nikki take off her gown.

Tara is introduced first. It turns out she's a local girl from Acapulco and it now becomes obvious that she is the audience's favourite. Tara is wearing karate kit and as she slips off the jacket the crowd starts to chant

Ta-Raa... Ta-Raa... Ta-Raa... Ta-Raa....

Tara's second takes the jacket and the dark haired girl flexes her biceps to huge cheers from the audience. Now Tara steps out of the pants and arches her body backward to display her sleek, hard and very naked body.
It is hard to hear the MC's introductory remarks above the chanting, but I glean that Tara is 31 years of age, 5" 7' tall and weighs in at 142 lbs. I guess that she might be quite old for this game, so it passes through my mind that she could be pretty experienced.

Tara is slightly shorter that Nikki but weighs slightly more. Her body is muscular without an ounce of excess fat, her breasts are moderate in size and although they appear to droop a bit they are in fact quite firm. Certainly they only bounce slightly as she bobs up and down in the corner of the ring. Although most of her skin is pretty hairless, she has a thick black bush of pubic hair that forms into a ribbon of dark hair that reaches up her belly to her navel. An unusual sight in these days of waxed and shaved bikini lines!

Nikki is now introduced. The crowd's reaction is hostile to say the least with lots of booing and other more unpleasant calls. Nikki opens her gown and I hold it by the shoulders as she slips it smoothly off arms to reveal her naked body.
Nikki now moves into the centre of the ring, her skin gleaming and shimmering from the light coating of body oil. The fine layer of golden down hair on her limbs and torso sparkling beneath the intense arena lights, so that to me she looks like a naked bronzed goddess! But, the Mexican crowd are totally unimpressed by my blonde beauty, and they continue to shout abuse and cat-calls.
Nikki returns to our corner looking decidedly unhappy. "Shit Ricky, I don't like this Mexican crowd. It's going to be hard enough to beat Tara without having the crowd against me!"
"They'll be OK once they see you in action." I say unconvincingly.

I try to compare the two combatants dispassionately. I see now that my Nikki's body is softer and less angular than Tara, and although Nikki is athletic and strong she does not have the clearly defined musculature of the Mexican.

The Referee now brings the two girls into the centre of the ring (4) and explains the rules:
"OK girls, this is a body-blows only kick-boxing fight, any blow to the head means disqualification. Ten 3-minute rounds, the outcome to be decided by a knockout or by points award by the me."
The girls now return to their corners and I take my seat at the ringside as the "seconds away" instruction is given. Nikki stands alone in her corner with her gaze fixed on her opponent as the bell sounds to start round 1.
The girls immediately advance into the centre of the ring and circle each other warily with their guards raised. Nikki soon makes the opening move with a short right jab, which Tara blocks easily. The Mexican's successful defensive block immediately triggers off a round of chanting from the crowd:

Ta-Raa... Ta-Raa... Ta-Raa... Ta-Raa....

The remainder of the 1st round now proceeds in the same fashion with both girls making short jabbing attacks before backing off again. At the end of the first round neither girl has really established herself and I am starting to relax in the hope that this might be the pattern of the fight.
The second round starts in the same pattern as the first, but about a minute into the round Nikki sees an opening in Tara's guard. She dips to the right and lets loose a superb right underarm punch that slams low down into Tara's midriff like a thunderbolt. The dark haired girl's belly muscles are obviously hard, but even so the force and shock of the blow causes her to step back wincing in pain.
