      Fist: Round One

      "It’s a bloody game that I’ve fought to long. This one is my last and I’m going out in a blaze of glory whatever happens. He said it and he knew it was true.

      UNCIVILISED 1: MANSION OF BLOOD

      "Teeth, blood and a look of astonishment greeted Joe’s fist. Welcome to a world of pain, he thought."

      JOE

      The left hook took him in the side. For someone who had just joined the pro leagues this one was tough as nails and showed a lot of promise. Unfortunately, he had just made the foolish decision of stepping into the ring with Joe the Pole.

      Joe wasn't the best fighter, but he had experience. Experience in this game of boxing that was just becoming a real sport now that it had emerged from the alleys of old London was everything.

      Joe brought his fist back and dropped in low. The younger man thought he was going for a long straight right. He went for the obvious counter and was completely shocked when Joe came up with a hard left upper cut that smashed into his jaw and sent him in a shower of blood to the floor.

      The ring counter jumped in and gave the ten count. Joe was the victor again.

      He left the ring to the screams of the crowd. He was popular among the poorer class of men that came to the ring to enjoy fantasies of being the man in the ring. Watching him and seeing his success inspired a certain animalistic emotion in some men.

      Joe walked out back and noticed his manager waiting for him. A manager was a new idea, but he liked it. Joe had organized most of his fights through the backyard vendors before he got Sam to do it for him. It was a lot more pleasant and he could focus on his training and his work down at the steel mill.

      Sam was still wearing his overalls. He worked for a local builder and he usually got off work too late to see more than the end of Joe's fights.

      He shook Joe's big hand and smiled.

      Good win there, champ. Joe wasn't the champ, but he hadn't managed to get Sam to stop calling him that. The man would probably call him that until the day he died.

      Thanks, Joe said, He was a little inexperienced, so it was an easy win.

      Sam nodded. He knew the fight card for tonight. This fight had just been advertising to get them better fights. It was good for the crowd to see him knock people out in the first round now and then. He had a bit of a bad image as a long fight fighter, which wasn't always that exciting for the crowd to watch.

      Champ, I got another job for you, Sam said.

      "Really? So soon. I appreciate it, but I don't know if I manage another fight just now. My knees are still
