After coming off a big win against Bobby Jones in his debut match Steven Xavior is seen back in Hampton at the gym training once again. This time around he was going up against one of Bobby Jones' rivals Duke Andrews. Steven was in a ring sparring with a friend of his, he looked focused and didn't budge his glare at the guy. The guy threw a kick and Xavior quickly did a leg trip and was in a full mount.
Trainer: Control the body! Don't let him get loose!
Xavior threw some elbow shots in and finally weaked the guy down where he turned his body to get free. Steven saw an opening and got him in a rear naked choke. The guy tapped and Xavior let go and helped him up. They shook hands and Xavior got out of the ring to get a bottle of water.
Trainer: You get a 1 minute break then we work on your hand speed...
Xavior nodded and began to stretch his neck a bit before drinking his water. For this match Xavior had to be quick and accurate with his movements, meaning that he had to bring Duke Andrews down to his level with strikes. He thought about the match and was soon quickly snapped out of his thoughts by his trainer.
Trainer: Okay! Since you're gonna be fighting a big guy I thought I'd pull one of the bigger fighters out for you to spar with.
Xavior: Alright...
The trainer called out a big guy who stood over Xavior and looked like he could throw a car through the sky. Xavior sighed and looked at his trainer only to see him giving Xavior a smirk.
Trainer: You up for it?
Xavior: Aren't I always...
Trainer: That's what I wanna hear! Give it your all X!
Steven began to bounce around staying on his feet so he can move around. The big man rushed Xavior and started to throw punches and kicks. Xavior dodged the punched and blocked the kick shaking off the blows still bouncing around. The big man rushed him again and Xavior managed to throw a few calf kicks in to slow him down, the bigger sparring partner shook off the blow and threw a right hand only to be countered by Xavior with an arm trap. Twisting the arm he rolled the big man on his back and locked in an armbar.
Trainer: Good! Don't let go!
Xavior wrenched the arm back and suddenly felt his back wasn't on the ground anymore. The big guy lift him up and was ready to slam him down, Xavior let go and got him in a guillotine choke. He leaned back using his body weight and the big guy's weight to kink the neck. The big man tapped quickly and Xavior let go, he was breathing heavily and was on the ground, he shook the guys hand and smirked a bit.
Trainer: Nice job, but remember the guy can be powerful but he's not as fast as you. Use your attributes against him...
Xavior: Right....
He got up nodding and soon gave a long sigh trying to catch his breath. He wiped his forehead and smiled at his trainer.
Xavior: That was pretty crazy for a minute I thought I was gonna go through the ring...
Him and his trainer laughed, he shook his head and got out of the ring to towel his head off.
Trainer: SO, thank you're ready for him?
Steven put a shirt on and then his hoody, he then put his shoes on and then put his stuff up in his bag.
Xavior: We'll see on Shockwave...
Trainer: Alright kid, good luck....
Xavior: Thanks...
Xavior put his bag on his shoulder and made his way out of the gym preparing to head to the next Shockwave appearance.
