Back and forth action! Nether lady has been able to sustain much offense without the other rudely interrupting. Still, something’s gotta give, right?

Voting Incentive!
Sabrina’s in trouble! Vote to see what’s coming up on Monday!
So, after the boot to the gut, the double-arm bar, ankle lock, clothesline, and surfboard… i believe Coco is in the lead 5-3.
Nice montage boss, though panel 3 is tad… um… no idea.
Panel 3 is a kippup, from a top-down POV.
Are you sure? And MGC I’m not cheering for Coco – just pointing out that she’s whippin’ up on Sabrina
So Mo Chen is a heel now.. cheering cocoa
The only draw back with drawing the comics is you miss stuff becuase if he showed every single move it would take forever. Though I will take this over a break in the middle of the action on TV wrestling.
Hawt Damn!
Kick to Da Face!
GO ‘BRI…GAH!
That’s not how you do it girl! Up!
Love the high flying moves but sadly they sometimes leave you wide open.
Imma sure that has never happened to me…
…
Shhh Victoria!
No telling people about that!
Kip-up: denied.
On the bright side we get at least one more series of fighting panels.
Great! Heroine torture! Keep it coming!!
You truely are dark. Snickers.
Sinister even. As if you’re not, kitten…
OH. MY. GAAAAAAHHHHDDDD!!! It’s a real slobberknocker!
Yes it is, hey why didn’t you put the slobber in Albone?
Great action! Looks like Cocoa is still in control, with Sabrina doing a respectable job of disrupting, but not reversing, the attack.
Wonderful example of why the kip-up is not my preferred method to get upright in a fight – moving forward is great, but you NEED to get your feet underneath you for control first. Otherwise, they can catch your timing and use it to their advantage. Roll to the side or away from them, or whirl in place, just get your feet underneath you. Don’t let the distance be closed on your enemy’s terms, or you will regret it!
Cocoa’s fundamentals seem sound, but I’m not a fan of her technique selection. About the only things I’ve seen from her that I like are today’s lariat and the previous update’s back drop – and obviously, I’d like those even better if they weren’t applied to Sabrina!
Well by applying this stuff to Sabrina shows how tough she is.
I’m hoping that Cocoa stays arounds and actually follows Sabrina back to the US. I’m so curious to see how her and Def Tech would interact.
panel 3 is very awkward looking, can’t tell if she’s kipping up or dropping down, ever consider a more faded silhouette to represent in-motion?
You have a good point. So kipping or jumping off the top rope doing a fancy move Albone?
The good thing is, it’s an isolated panel – so he could rework it.
I really like how the match is pretty much even back and forth. Like a match between two top stars. Tons of reversals and switches of momentum. I do hope if Cocoa loses that her and Sabrina can become friends afterwards and I don’t want to see the character fade away. Being an ally to Sabrina in BRA will keep her relevant in the future of the story. 🙂
I knew that they were just alike in some way, and this match proves it. 😀
Still, who knows what tricks/energy that Sabrina got left in her ? 🙁
Another awesome episode. Great holds; nice fast action. I’m hooked! 😀
i have to say i like the panel 3 & 4 combo- i always liked it when the crowd’s on the verge of getting ready to rally behind the “pop” kipup, but before they can even finish the opponnent catches them mid-kip and flattens them. lariatoooo! is a great choice because it adds the added force of Brina rushing right towards it with no way at all to even slow her momentum before she’s taken back the opposite direction to add even more of a whiplash effect.
even if the VI didn’t prove it the surfboard’s not going to put Brina out, all she needs to do is free her left arm that’s caught at a bad angle and Brina can roll through towards Cocoa. then <vince> BIIIIIIIIG SCOOP! AND A SLAM!!! </vince>
The kip-up looks weird because the thumbs should be outside not inside (unless she was FULLY bending her arms and hands but then i doubt we’d see 100% of the hand.. maybe 20% cause it would be covered by the underarm and forearm).. the palms should be down to push herself up so the thumbs wouldnt point to her head. Unless shes kipping-up with her backhands.. that would be beastly!! Cheaters are booo.. booo coco!!! Cheaters only win 75% of the time in wrestling!!.. oh wait thats pretty good odds.. carry on!
Cocoa’s certainly keeping up the Brazillian tradition of being a veritable text book of submissions. (It was either that, or have her dancing around the ring, using Capoiera on Brina). Brina’s been good at countering up to now, but can she figure out the counter to the Bow & Arrow?
How about a Sharps Mdl 1863 carbine?
(sorry, couldn’t resist hehee)
Al you know th looks pain yet oddly relaxing or would be if done right loosen ya right up
