Description: [OOC] Makoto says, "I'm never giving you ideas again." (Winner: Dudley)
Phuket (which is not pronounced the way you think it is) is an island in Thailand; it's really rather pretty, and has some very nice beaches and rivers.
The training ground chosen for the battle is a series of buildings and fields along one of those rivers - in fact, some of the battlefields are partially submerged under the winding river, or at least cut across by water. There are quite a few people ready to watch lining up around one of those large fields; it is a Muay Thai training ground, after all, and they're as interested in a fight as anyone.
Makoto is standing in ankle-deep clear water; she has managed to grab a fish out of the river with her bare hands as a warmup and has just let it go again, because she doesn't have any need to eat a fish right now.
Boman is, well - Boman. He has already handed out the contents of his wallet to poor farmers, and is currently allowing a small child to climb all over his back as stretches, because he is a Nice Person to the extreme. He carefully lifts the child off his back, putting her down as he turns to Makoto, waving. "Hello. I'm Boman Delgado - you must be Makoto, right?" He pauses, as he watches her catch the fish and release it. "Very impressive, by the way."
While Dudley has been to Thailand before, he hadn't been for the purpose of fighting at a Muay Thai practice field. Oh sure he'd sparred with some kickboxers turned boxers, but that was in an actual ring, not a wide field surrounded by spectators and muay thai enthusiasts and fight fans. Still... here he is.
He had to park the car some meters away, and despite this being Thailand he is dressed out in his usual dapper shirt and slacks, the familiar blue gloves already laced up. Dudley saunters out onto the field and grins, spotting his two opponents... a large black man and a medium-sized Japanese girl. Ought to be interesting, this fight; both look fairly strong. Still, Dudley doesn't lack for confidence as he steps towards his place of starting, glancing towards the officials to signify his readiness.

Makoto wipes her hands off on her gi, which may not be proper etiquette but does dry them off sufficiently. "That's me! I'm here to represent Rindoukan," Makoto says, proudly, as she steps out of the water and kicks her feet vaguely dry.
She does look a little surprised when Dudley drives up in his car. She just has to ask... "Did he drive the car all the way here? I don't think they make that kind here." And he's already signaling that he's ready, too! "Whoops, fight's starting, talk later!"
Makoto dashes a bit closer to Dudley before slowing down, dropping into her usual stance: one foot forward with hand extended, one back with fist balled. Right now she mostly wants to wait for a) Boman to get ready, too, and b) for Dudley to take the first move while she sees what he does. The gloves make him look like a boxer even though she's never actually seen him fight before.

Boman nods. "Nice to meet you. I, uh, don't have a style..." He shrugs. He /brawls/, that's what he does. The big high schooler goes into a ready position - taking his cue from Makoto, as she is probably more experienced than him. Most people are, given he's so damn /nice/.
"Ah - just to make sure - this is going to be a friendly fight and all, no one's going to be hurt /too/ badly, right?" Boman grins hopefully at Dudley. This is the /downside/ to disliking real violence. He does, however, take a deep breath and wait, watching Dudley carefully.

Dudley eyes his two opponents; clearly the fight's started, as the announcer called it out, but neither is moving. Dudley grins faintly at Boman's question. Friendly match? Probably! But serious injury isn't really out of the question... not that Dudley's going to be out for blood but... two on one. Two on one is serious business. For that reason Dudley himself doesn't move out just yet.
"Indeed, this will be a friendly fight. But I do not expect you two to hold back and I will not either. Let's fight... like gentlemen!" And he doffs his jacket and tosses it back to his butler before turning back to his opponents... calm, but eager, and ready.

Makoto bristles briefly, perhaps thinking that she has once again been called a man (or a gentleman, at least) before she actually bothers to think about what has just been said.
Then she calms down a little, but it doesn't last long. Makoto does not actually like waiting and this fight is taking too long to actually get going. "All right! Here I - go!" She flat-out dashes toward Dudley for a moment, breaking her usual stance to do so; about eight feet back, she leaps into the air, flipping forward as she flies.
She comes down heel-first, trying to plant her kick on Dudley's back and spring back off to land on her feet; if she misses, of course, the landing will probably be a fair bit more unpleasant, but there's only so much she can do about that.
Boman nods. "All right, good." He doesn't /like/ hurting people too badly. Thus, he holds his fists up - and as Makoto flies for Dudley, to kick his back, Boman moves forward in an attempt to take advantage of this. Whether Dudley dodges or is kicked forward, the huge brawler makes an attempt to use the momentum of said dodge and/or kick, to lift him into the air and throw him.
Not /at/ anything, but still. A throw and landing could definitely hurt, thought it doesn't use Boman's immense muscles too much.

Unpleasant; Dudley had hoped to be fast enough to avoid both opponents, but was unsuccessful, their combination attack landing with serious power. He rolls to his feet, grunting slightly; both are stronger than they appear and this is going to be a tough fight, for sure. Dudley isn't out by any means yet, however; he lunges for Boman, the big kid being closer, attempting to sling an arm around the man's chest and use it to lift him up and throw him backwards. Makoto he'll have to deal with at a somewhat later point...
Makoto lands behind Dudley, turning around almost immediately - just in time to see him moved somewhere else by Boman. He's stronger than she thought. She grins, briefly, seeing him roll back up and go for Boman - and not her, which is a little surprising to her. Normally she's the first one people go after.
She doesn't abuse her own striking power for a few moments; instead she heads toward Dudley with a strange walk, one leg passing in front of the other and never behind, and lets out a straight kick with a yell. It isn't as strong as many of hers, but it's still apt to sting if it catches him in the side like she's aiming for.

Boman - is not good with being thrown. He's huge, and that works against him. Dudley sends him flying, landing heavily and with a thud. He gets up, shaking himself off. "Woo, that was /tough/..." He turns, reaching into the river and picking up a stone. He needs to buy some time to get close again - so he reaches his arm back and throws the stone at Dudley as if it were a discus, advancing after it.

Throwing stones... hunh. The boy looks like a boxer but he clearly is not; still, Dudley doesn't seem to put out by the stone, actually choosing to jab it out of the air. It would seem as though this would put him in prime position to be struck by Makoto, and it -does-...
Except he was ready for it and he just powered through his momentum, his left fist striking Makoto clean across the face in a power straight as he kicks up a plume of dust, moving with swift, uncommon speed.
The straight punch hits Makoto, and hits her hard; she actually is knocked over by the force of the blow, forced to roll to her feet perhaps two yards away.
"You hit hard," she says, once she's gotten back up, ensured that her jaw is not broken, and regained a proper stance. Makoto pauses a moment, judging distance and angle, one fist pulled back, before launching herself into action again. "Almost as hard as I do!"
In a blur of motion and a cloud of dust from her feet, Makoto closes the distance between Dudley and herself almost instantaneously, transferring as much of her momentum as she can to the knuckles of her left fist, striking forward at the exact instant. "Haa!"
Boman is no boxer - he brawls. He never got formal training. He doesn't /mind/ really that his rock had little effect - he was using it to get close. Rushing forward, he lashes out at Dudley with his fists. They glow momentarily, surrounding by a white 'fire' - Boman's chi. The huge high schooler's fists - well, are pretty powerful, if somewhat slow-moving.
Boman can't help it - his size makes speed a bit more difficult.

Oswald has disconnected.
Makoto's rushing punch is parried off of lowered forearms; Dudley figured she might be coming at him again and thus just knocked the attack away. However, that leaves him out of position for Boman--and though he tries to weave back, he's caught by the rush of punches, sent skidding back a few feet along the dusty ground before he catches himself. Despite the relative pounding he's taking, he seems to be enjoying himself... though he does take a moment to get a breather in. Phew. You kids these days...

Makoto does hit hard. That's why they call her the Steamroller Girl.
She stays back at first when Dudley does, edging forward once or twice to see if she can get him to break his guard and attack her, but it doesn't seem to do very much; instead she launches one fast chop with her left hand to snake inside his guard and strike him. Although fast, it really isn't as strong as some of her more telegraphed chops or punches.
Well, Boman is...huge. His muscles are immensely large, and he keeps them that way. He generally hits...very hard, for a high school kid. He watches Dudley carefully - and then follows the boxer as he skids, sending a powerful punch after him - but not, compared to some of the punches Boman's used, the strongest.

Makoto 1/--=====/=======|
When faced with two opponents, one must get--creative. Boman's incoming punch is again taken on forearms in the classic boxing style, Dudley ducking low to keep his center of gravity down by the ground. The impact bounces him towards Makoto slightly... and then Dudley opens the gates of Heaven. Or, just... uppercuts Makoto hard. He plants his feet as that left chop is coming in, starting a rotational momentum transfer from his feet up through his right fist--which explodes with a cutting wind chi that impacts as Dudley thrusts Makoto into the air with the first uppercut... landing and launching another, then a third final uppercut before he lands on his feet. It was a pretty good answer to Makoto's chop, that's for sure...
A pretty good answer indeed.
Makoto takes all three punches solidly, and on the last one, is launched quite some distance away; it takes time for her to land at all, but she eventually crashes down in a rather poor attempt at breaking her fall.
She gets up after a few seconds delay, dazed but shaking her head to try to clear it and recover; it's fairly obvious when she does because she actually looks up at Dudley instead of at the ground. "My turn," is all she says, because she's saving her breath for acting!
Makoto charges forward, immediately bringing her fist forward into a low gut punch; she follows this up with a trio of punches from her other hand, and then an upward strike of her own, hard enough to make her scarf billow back behind her. Normally she would yell out the attack's name; right now she's a little too sore to do so.

Boman continues to stay close to Dudley - not necessarily a good idea, but he's very much a close range fighter. As Makoto starts a swift, multi-attacking assault, Boman goes the other way. He puts all his faith into a single attack. Admittedly, that is how Boman generally fights.
Drawing his fist back, he slams it in a hook punch for Dudley's chest - Boman doesn't aim for heads. As he punches, it glows with chi, much like before - but unlike before, there's only /one/ punch.

The longer this fight goes the worse it gets for Dudley; Boman's punch hits him solidly, despite Dudley again attempting to bring what should be superior speed to the table. And Makoto... well, that looks like pain heading his way. So he'll head it off at the pass; slipping a quick jab into Makoto's face even as the gutpunch hits, disrupting the rest of that nasty combination. But now Dudley's looking, well... just a bit tired.
Makoto isn't doing much better herself. She's running out of breath and she's quite sore, and the jab to her face didn't help matters anyway; it was already kind of sensitive from where she took the straight, after all.
Reeling from the hit, Makoto half-steps, half-staggers forward to try to grab Dudley - he isn't that far away, after all - and throw him to the ground, assisted by the sweeping kick she performs to try to take his feet out from under him. If she manages it, she follows it up with a vertical punch to the gut to drive the air out of him and make it harder for him to rise.
Boman is - not holding back, but certainly not using all his power at once. Boman never does - he fights cautiously and with a reliance on normal, completely un-chi-filled attacks, most of the time, though his chi is not that weak. As Dudley focuses on Makoto, Boman lifts his leg, trying to slam his foot down at - well, depending on how Makoto's attack goes, either Dudley's legs or his chest, whichever is lower to the ground.

Dudley gets his feet kicked, but just from watching Makoto he is able to guess at what she intends and breaks that grasp before he can be thrown down and struck again. Then of course there's Boman's incoming kick... something Dudley doesn't want any part of, so he backpedals swiftly, watching that foot come slamming in. Well. This has been a very interesting fight... Dudley can see that Makoto is on her last legs, but then, so is Dudley... the question is, who will drop first? If Dudley can take out Makoto he might stand a better chance against Boman... but first he's got to regain some wind.

Makoto feels much the same way: she needs air! And right now, she doesn't really have any.
She steps backwards towards the river rather than pressing the assault, taking deep, refreshing breaths without dropping (too far) out of her defensive stance. This also lets Boman have more room to do his brawling thing, if he's so inclined; she certainly is going to stay out of his way as much as possible.

Unlike the other two, Boman is doing fairly well. He has only been hit once - hit very hard, but still. He watches as Makoto and Dudley back off a bit - and now has extra room. He brings both arms back - and then slams one in a mighty uppercut, leaving a glowing line of chi. The other moves quickly, in another hook punch, leaving a /second/ line of chi.
Whether or not Dudley can avoid them, for just a moment, there is a glowing chi cross there for several seconds, before it fades.

That's utilized, the big boxer lunging, using the impact to help propel him... towards Makoto, as his fist comes around in a powerful hook intended to impact with Makoto's head. Yeah, he doesn't like punching girls but Makoto's shown herself to be quite the tough customer herself... and Dudley really really wants to take her down before dealing with Boman over here...

Makoto's block is a little slower than it should be because she's still quite tired; Makoto really works hard to swing like she does, and she can't do it all day!
The fist catches her solidly against the temple, causing her to stagger and then fall. It looks for a moment like Makoto simply is not going to be able to get up; she remains on her knees and hands, eyes clenched closed as she fights off dizziness.
When she does rise, it's all at once, with one fist raised overhead. "Haaaiya!" Makoto yells as she rises, trying to punch Dudley as she rises up almost from underneath him.
Boman watches as his MIGHTY POWER fails to do anything, and steps back, taking some deep breaths. If /that/ didn't work, he obviously needs to get his wind back - it must be missing. "Sorry about this, Makoto..."
Boman stays back, getting his breath back.

The punch to her face is enough. Makoto takes it right between the eyes and almost immediately wobbles, unable to keep her feet solidly under her. The trio of punches she manages to belt out at Dudley are rather badly aimed, probably because Makoto was on the verge of collapse when she threw them.
With the last punch, her foot slides out from under her, and Makoto finally does pass out, landing on the ground hard.

Dudley is giving Boman the advantage, in the long run. But right now, it's all about the -short- run... Dudley puts his boxing skills to the test. The very best counterpunch he knows -generally- relies on the opponent punching first. But in this case, Dudley will make an exception; he lunges forward, with perhaps surprising speed, and just fires a power left straight into Boman's face as he slides past.
Boman jerks back. That /hurt/. He wipes a line of blood from his nose. He'll have to be a bit more serious, then. He continues to press his meager advantage - never let up! Turning quickly to follow Dudley, he slams forward in a powerful uppercut. Don't let the boxer control the fight. That's what he thinks he should do.

No sir. Dudley admires Boman for his tenacity, his skill, his ability to punch Dudley in the head several times despite Dudley's best efforts. But he doesn't want to get pounded by that... whatever it is. So just as Boman makes contact, Dudley jabs Boman in the face again... not out of cruelty but as a way to push Boman back while Dudley slips free of his terrifying embrace. And then Dudley lifts his tired arms to the sky, encouraging the cheering crowds as the announcer declares Dudley--champeen boxah from England the most civilized place in the world--THE WINNER!
