Valentine vs Hannibal

As the match before concluded, the maimed loser was rushed from the ring and a trio of coydogs quickly scrubbed the blood from the circle and laid a new layer of sand over it for fresh footing. Nitro perused the few remaining contestants, then picked out Hannibal and Valentine. "All right, ladies and gentlemen," he called out to the spectators. "The first round is almost over! Let's give these gentlemen a cheer to buck them up!" He waited while the roar of the crowd swelled and faded while he led the pair up to the ring, then gestured for quiet. "You know the rules by now - stay in the ring and remember that the winner gets to leave the loser with scars to remember them by! Why don't you go ahead and get us started?" he added to Hannibal.
