Korra KO post

The cartoon league was having an exciting main event between the current avatar Korra and the hardworking farmer AppleJack. Korra was in a blue sport bra, blue boxing gloves, blue trunks, and brown boxing boots. AppleJack was in a orange sport bra, red boxing gloves with green tape, orange trunks with red trim, and red boxing boots with green trim.

This was a battle of pure power against technique. AppleJack was a tough person to knockout. She has been knocked out once or twice. So this was tough for both ladies either way. Korra had good power, but her ability to switch from stance to stance made her hard to predictable and defend again. She also had really good lateral movement too. Both ladies had an edge in different categories than the other. So one would be right saying this fight was pretty even. This didn't mean the match was intense and exciting with good exchanges and displays of amazing defense. Even Korra had a swollen right eye heading into the eighth round. They were both still fit and ready to go.

*DING!*

The bell sounds as both ladies approach each other. AppleJack came out in a standard orthodox stance while Korra was coming out in a stance similar to a waterbender. This was the counter stance of the five stances she uses. She was also up in points and scoring the better shots so it was a good idea on Korra's part. AppleJack closes the distance and pumps a left jab to the swollen right eye of Korra. Korra slips to the right and counters with two quick right hooks to the body and then retreats back some. The downside to this stance was that while it was fast, controls space well, and good for countering. It didn't do much damage to the opponent.

AppleJack didn't feel anything from those shots and just keeps walking her down. She launches two quick left jabs to the left eye. She wanted to see if Korra would slip the same way she did before. Korra slips both jabs to the same direction from before. AppleJack's prediction was correct. Korra tries to counter with a right hook to the ribs and a left uppercut to the stomach. AppleJack's prediction was correct. She was ready this time for the counters and sends forward a quick right hook to the jaw.

The shot lands with a smashing impact without AppleJack even trying to put power behind it. When people say she has pure power they mean it. Even her lighter to regular shots are on the level of a haymaker. Korra' head sent back hard to the left. She bares on her mouthpiece and tries not to let the pain drop her guard. Korra switches to earth bending stance and puts up a stone guard. The shot got somewhat stunned her, so Korra wasn't taking any chances.

AppleJack doesn't slow down from there. She starts to unload on her guard, setting out to break it, which was a tall task since Earthbending's defense is tough to break. Korra grunts as she blocks each powerful shot from AppleJack. After a good minute of this Korra was getting sick of just guarding and not doing anything to slow down AppleJack. She didn't want to lose her lead on points. She had planned to go distance and win this fight by points. So Korra decides to pull AppleJack into a clinch to stop her attack. It wasn't a tight one, since the strength different from them was too great to completely stop AppleJack's offense. She was still throwing solid shots to the body in the clinch.

The referee gets in between and separates both ladies. He gets them separated far enough for both ladies to get back into their stances be signaling for action to continue. AppleJack comes at Korra again throwing left jabs to the nose this time. Korra, sticking to waterbending stance, just slips them and circles around AppleJack trying to keep a good amount of distance of space. They didn't land many blows besides gazing shots for 20 seconds. Korra decided to turn things up and actually comes at AppleJack in a firebending stance. She throws a wicked right hook to the jaw and lands clean with it. She started to overwhelm AppleJack and landed a good number of quick power shots. This sudden bust of speed threw off AppleJack's timing she had developed against Korra.

Korra landing good solid shots that has AppleJack backing up slowly. She was landing a good amount of headshots and bodyshots had AppleJack reeling. AppleJack quickly clinches with Korra to stop her offensive explosion. She was taking too much damage, even though she was built like a tank. It works out well as she just leans over and stops the assault for now. The referee gets in between them once again and separates them. Korra didn't want to slow down. She tries to come back and break up AppleJack some more.

AppleJack grins as all she needed was a little breathing room to figure out Korra. She sees her coming like a bullet with her gloves down. She grins and throws a right uppercut to the chin as Korra came in throwing an overhand right hook. BOOM!! The uppercut lands with a massive impact and easily beats out Korra's overhand right hook. Korra's head is set upward hard as she spits out her mouthpiece on reaction. The uppercut launches her into the air for a few seconds before she comes crashing down to the mat hard onto her back.

“Go to your corner now. Down!! One, two, three...” The referee begins his count. The referee sends back a very happy AppleJack to a neutral corner. That gave a small smirk knowing the fight was over.

“No Korra!! Get up!! You can do this!” Mako screams and shouts as bangs loudly on the ring apron. Korra's eye shot while she breathing heavily looking up at the referee. Her vision was heavily blurry.

“Four, five, six...” The ref keeps counting as the crowd doesn't stop cheering.

“Come on Korra!! Get up I believe in you!! Do it for the Avatars that came before you!!” Tenzin screams. Korra tries to sit up but to no avail.

“Seven, eight, nine...” The ref nears the end of his count. The fate was starting to set in for both Mako and Tenzin. Korra keeps trying to sit up, but nothing works.

“ It's over...We have to go help her up Mako.” Tenzin says quietly as she begins to pack up everything.

“Ten!! She's out!!!” The ref signals for the bell and calls for the medical staff at ringside. He knows Korra was strong but checking to make sure she is okay.

AppleJack grins widely and rises her gloves up in a hard fought victory. Korra was a tough opponent and wasn't going to think that she was an easy opponent. She will be wanting to congratulate her when she is better. She is hoping they would be able to rematch one day. AppleJack really enjoyed this fight.
