Mi joya Rekah -

We did not get to fight in the tournament.
So disappointing. Let's fight now for your ring.
Maybe I can win it from you.

Dear potato,

You want this ring? You will have to pry it from my cold,dead hands. Or take it off the kitchen counter where it’s been sitting since the last challenge.

But FINE. I guess we can do this.

This challenge occurred as scheduled on July 5th at 9 PM.

Rekah chose a best of eighteen three format, and it took all three rounds to make it through the challenge.

Throughout the evening, the fighters consistently bypassed blocks made by their opponent to land hits where they were least expected. Each duel included a high-low trade that pushed points onto the board for each of them. Plenty of pure defensive rounds gave the fighters chances to breathe, and gave the leading fighter the change to push the score in their direction when action restarted.

Sal took the first and third matches to claim the ring for himself. Dragon's Gate aligns Renegade.
