A clenched scraped knuckle struck him right in the jaw, right at the edge of his shaven beard and the spot blossomed in pain. He didn't keep his guard up and paid for it dearly. The crowd that surrounded the ring roared. He staggered back at the sheer force of the blow, his eyes losing and regaining focus. It was hard to tell which round they were in after countless hard knocks to the head. He was losing the fight badly and barely clinging onto the ropes until the bell saved him.
Each man went to his own corner, attended by a second and a bottle-holder. The battered man sat. His chest was heavily covered with a sheen of sweat that glistened between thick, dark chest hairs. The crowded sporting houses didn’t exactly give him any room to breathe nor think properly. "Look at me! Look at me!” The second lightly slaps him, yelling at him, “What the bloody hell are you doing out there?! You left yourself wide open there!" said the second with a thick Irish brogue as he dabbed the fighter's bruised forehead with a sponge. His left eye was swollen, nose busted and he needed to kill the pain with something strong. His left hand snatched the whiskey bottle from the hand of one unsuspecting ringside audience and finished the remaining whiskey with one gulp.
George “The Butchered” Buford was the son of an Englishman and his Irish mother. Previously, in his early and late 20s, he was known as “The Butcher” with his ham-sized fists butchering his opponents but lately, it was the other way around, hence the nickname. His parents gave him a life of struggle. He had grown up in rural Ireland before their parents moved him and his three younger brothers to London after the potato blight had ravaged yet another family crop. He worked in a mill until he joined the army in the Crimean War. He was a tall, burly nineteen-year-old man with broad shoulders and strong muscles from years of hard labor by the time he joined the army. A perfect image for a foot soldier but once the war had ended he went back to the hard-scrabble life of the Victorian working class.
Working odd jobs at the docks gave him an opportunity at the prize ring, he quickly rose to fame with his ability to keep fights from dragging out but his meteoric rise soon came crashing down on him when booze and women entered his life. Here he was, fighting in a lowly sporting house with the crowds that were generally lower class men who reeked of cheap whiskey and sweat from a hard day's labor. His opponent, a boy young enough to deliver newspapers but his agility & technique outclassed him.
Thirty seconds of the interval went by quickly and he had only 8 seconds to walk to the center of the ring or would be deemed unable to continue the fight. Despite the beatings he took, George really wanted to get back into the action. He wanted his sore knuckles to wipe the smug off the boy’s face. He wanted to strike him. He wanted to make him hurt badly so he would think twice to enter the prize ring again. However, the youngster wouldn’t let him get his wish. As George swung left and wide, the “boy” ducked down and he sent him a devastating uppercut to the gut that sent him reeling. The force and momentum behind the punch caused The Butchered to fall to his hands and knees and vomit the whiskey he had just gulped during the interval. His breathing was restricted and it didn’t take long when darkness consumed him. That was it…no amount of smelling salts could wake him up to make it to the center of the ring in less than 40 seconds.
Two weeks past the humiliating defeat, he was surprised to receive a visit from a Lord. It was strange that a Lord would come all the way to his humble home only to offer him a fight. Once he looked at the contract offered to him, he simply couldn’t believe his eyes. It would be a “professional” bare knuckle boxing match against the opposite sex. He read and reread the contract again to make sure he didn’t read it wrong. The Lord had an extremely serious look on his face while he did so. He had never once fought someone with tits before, especially someone he didn’t know. He considered this to be a humiliating offer but he nearly salivated upon learning the amount both for the winner and loser.
He went on to sign the contract immediately.
The fight was scheduled to take place in an amphitheater in East Side London about a month after the initial proposal. There were men in nice jackets and polished leather shoes, a huge difference compared to the men in those sporting houses. There was a lot of money riding on these fights and it was constantly changing hands. Some bet on the final outcomes as judged by the referees. Odds were created by the book-makers and official wagers were paid out at the end of the fight. Betting with one another was also common on the ringside. Some bet on how long the fight would last, how many rounds the opponents would last. Others bet on who would cause 'first blood’.
A worn out trench coat served as his cover up during the preliminaries, giving glimpses of his oiled up impressive muscles and beige tight pantaloons. The ring itself was made out of old wood. The wood was so old that it released rickety noise with every step he made. The ropes also looked loose enough to withstand his weight if he even found himself cornered and there was no elevation nor boundaries that allowed the ringsiders to stand really close to the action. He waited restlessly in his corner, hoping the Lord wasn’t foolish enough to let in a woman half his size that he could easily pummel to death.
