Chapter 8 -Page 29-Posterized
There’s that sneaky Ninja we know and love, but as you can see, Black Widow is crazy resilient. The size advantage works for Black Widow because she can absorb Sun’s best shots all day. This is the reason why we have weight divisions in combat sports. The big fighter is always going to be a little tougher and a little stronger. That isn’t to say that upsets in Big vs Small can’t happen, but they usually don’t.
The first fight between Nate Diaz and Connor McGregor (MMA) is a great example of this. Connor is known for a killer left, but Nate was able to absorb Connor’s best shots, and it caught up to Connor.
So, can Sun avoid Connor’s mistakes? After all, Connor won the rematch with Diaz.

I agree she stopped to soon. I tend to go overboard making sure my opponent is down and out before I let my guard down. Time will tell if she made a mistake or not.
To quote a certain someone: Sun should work smarter not harder. Sometimes it’s best to use brains over brawn in this case.
And sometimes it’s better to use ladders over shoe leather…I don’t think this was the time to do it though…
That smirk on Sun tells me she knows exactly what she’s doing — Widow’s about to eat ladder.
Agree about size being a factor, but unlike a regular match Sun doesn’t have to pin or submit The Black Widow, she just has to keep her at bay long enough to pull that belt down. So, her odds are a bit better than usual.
I had to rejoin before the end after I fell off near the end of season 2 (not your fault – I lost interest in wrestling for a time). I’m really enjoying this last season so far; it’s full of twists and turns and it feels like The Upstarts are really growing into their own (besides the characters’ growth, I’ve noticed the increased use of submissions and Sabrina’s expanded moveset; you’re really working hard to show off how she’s improved and become a more total package of a wrestler). It’s good to be back, and I look forward to seeing the end of this story and reading further work from you!
Welcome back! Glad to have you before we take a bow. 🙂
