The Boxing Lesson by M. C. Sally protects her boyfriend, by beating up the toughest man in the state. Sally stood motionless in mid-air, holding an iron cross on the rings. Her years of gymnastics training gave her strength way out of proportion to her size and she easily held her position until completing a perfect dismount. " Great dismount," the voice from behind her said. " Bob, I didn't know you were watching," Sally said as she gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek. Sally and Bob had been dating for nearly two years now - since they were both freshmen in college - and he is the only boy that she has ever loved. " I just came by to tell you that the frat boys and I came up with a great way to raise money for our new building at the fundraiser this Friday night." " How's that ? " Sally asked. " Well," Bob began," there's this guy called Tony the Tiger. He won the title of the toughest man in the state last year. He has a standing offer of three thousand dollars to anyone who can last in the ring with him for five minutes." " And ?" Sally asked; liking this idea less and less the more she heard of it. " So, I'm going to fight him," Bob said proudly. "You ?" Sally asked. " But honey, the boxing you do in the gym won't help you against a tough brawler like Tony the Tiger; he'll kill you. Please don't go through with this," Sally pleaded. " It's too late Sally," Bob replied, " the challenge has already been accepted. And besides, I don't have to win, just last five minutes. Trust me Sally, I'll be fine. As Sally slowly put on her sweatshirt she thought to herself...and then smiled. As they walked out of the gym together and headed for the apartment they rented just off the university campus, Sally suddenly stopped. " Oh darn," she said." Bob, I completely forgot that I promised to help Jenny with something after school. You go on ahead, I'll be home as soon as possible." She kissed her lover on the cheek again and began walking off in the opposite direction. " WHAM!" the sound echoed off the walls of the weight room. " POW! WHACK!" Tony loved the sound his fist hitting the big bag. The only sound he loved more was the sound of his massive fist smashing into a helpless opponent as he grinds him to dust. He was alone, just the way he liked it. Nobody bothering him with stupid questions or silly pictures. He barely heard the door open and close behind him. "Another fan come to OOH and AWE," he thought to himself. When he turned around though, he was surprised to see a beautiful girl with long blond hair walking towards him. " Are you Tony the Tiger? " she asked him softly. " The one and only," he replied," lost your way girlie." " Not exactly. I've been wanting to learn how to box and somebody told me that you were about the best boxer around. So who better to take lessons from," Sally said. Tony looked down at the pretty little girl and thought to himself," I'll humor her for awhile and then I'll 'make' her; this is too easy." " All right," he said," I'll show you a few things. But no gloves; gloves are for weaklings." " As you wish," Sally smiled. Sally put down her purse and removed her sweatshirt. She tied her long pretty blond hair back into a pony tail and stepped up to face Tony. Had anyone been watching, the scene would have looked surreal; a five foot-six inch, 140 pound girl facing off against a six foot-five inch 260 pound man; winner of the 'toughest man in the state' contest no less. As Sally approached him, Tony held up his powerful arms and said," O.K. now girlie, try to hit me." " You mean like this ? " she said as she shot a lightning quick jab straight to Tony's jaw. The punch didn't hurt him (it wasn't intended to) but it did annoy him. " Lucky shot." Putting his arms up again, Tony said," try it now; when I'm ready." This time Sally faked to his midsection forcing him to drop his guard. She then slammed another jab into Tony's jaw; this time a little bit harder. " Gotcha again," she giggled," this is easy, tee hee hee." By now Tony was getting angry; REAL ANGRY." O.K. girlie, now you made me mad." " Oh, you poor baby," Sally said playfully," should I be scared now ? " That did it. Tony decided it was time to teach this girl some respect. If it's a boxing lesson she wanted, it's a boxing lesson she'll get. Tony began to throw punches at her; hard punches. Punches that would have brought down the toughest of men. But, much to his surprise, Sally easily blocked or avoided them; laughing as she did. " Is this the best you've got Mr. Tiger ? Maybe we should call you Tony the pussycat; tee, hee, hee." As Tony became angrier, he also became reckless, leaving himself open to Sally's counterpunches. Unlike Tony, her punches always seemed to find their mark. It wasn't long before her lightning speed, pinpoint accuracy and surprising strength began to show results. After only about three minutes, Sally had given the rough, tough macho man a black eye and a bloody nose. " You've got to protect your face," Sally told him after peppering him with ten straight punches to his head. When he tried to do that, he left his mid-section wide open. " Of course that makes it easier to hit your tummy," Sally laughed as she blasted several more hard shots into the pit of his stomach. Her fists seemed to come from ten different directions at once and Tony was unable to stop them. Never in all his years of fighting had Tony faced an opponent as this girl. Not only was she giving him the beating of his life, but she seemed to be enjoying every minute of it. After seven minutes, the 260 pound man was literally battered to pulp by the gorgeous gymnast. Sally stopped hitting the now helpless Tony. She stepped back to admire her handiwork. Standing before her was the battered and beaten man, barely able to stand. She smiled, made a fist and held it a few inches from his nose. " Punch," she said softly as her blow connected. It wasn't a hard punch but at this stage a breeze would have knocked Tony over; Sally's playful punch was more than enough. With a loud "thud!" Tony the Tiger, the toughest man in the state, hit the floor. Sally calmly walked over to her purse and took out her hairbrush. She untied her ponytail, walked back to Tony, sat down on his chest and began to brush her beautiful hair. " OOOH, you make such a comfy seat," she teased. Looking down at the battered man beneath her Sally said," by now you're probably wondering who I am and why I did this to you. My name is Sally, and that's all you need to know about me. As to why I beat you up; it's like this: On Friday evening, you're going to step into the ring at the university against my boyfriend. As I understand it, if he survives five minutes with you he wins $3,000, and you, my friend, are going to let him do it. Because, if you don't, if you so much as hurt him in anyway, then I'm going to come into the ring myself and what I did to you now will seem like a massage to what I'll do to you then, do you understand ? " Tony didn't answer right away; he was still in a state of shock. Sally leaned over and grabbed him firmly by his hair. " I asked you a question, tough guy. Answer me or I'll continue with your boxing lesson." Tony finally managed to speak. It wasn't the loud, arrogant voice of the tough fighter that he was only a few short minutes before but that of a broken, defeated man. " I'll let him win. I promise. Anything you say. Please don't hurt me anymore." Sally smiled. " That's a good boy," she said as she patted him on the head. " I hope, for your sake, that you don't forget come Friday night." As Sally sat on top of him she suddenly had an urge that she couldn't explain. She wasn't, by nature, a cruel person. In fact her friends consider her to be one of the kindest, sweetest people you'd ever meet. But in that gym, after beating up Tony the Tiger, something came over her. She felt she just had to bring him down a few more pegs. So that there would be no doubt whatsoever in his macho mind that it was a gorgeous, sexy girl had done this to him, Sally took her long, beautiful hair and playfully began to fluff it in Tony's face. She teased him as she did so. " What's the matter tough guy ? Was a little girl like me too tough for you? " She then began to hit him with her hair." Some tough guy you are. I could beat you up with just my pretty hair, tee, hee, hee." As she continued to humiliate him, Sally became very, very aroused. So much so that she didn't even hear Tony crying until after she had an orgasm; the best one she ever had in her life. Sally smiled down at the broken man beneath her." Thank you Tony, for this lovely boxing lesson. We'll have to do this again sometime; I had so much fun." With that, Sally got up and left the gym; leaving the battered Tony the tiger sobbing on the floor. FRIDAY NIGHT " I did it, I did it" Bob shouted as he raised his hands in the air. " I survived five minutes with Tony the tiger. He only hit me once." Bob was ecstatic, and so was the crowd. He had dominated the fight from beginning to end. Only once did he get careless, when he let down his guard and Tony hit him with a jab to the jaw. For some unexplained reason Tony didn't follow up on his advantage though. Instead, he had the look of fear on his face. Bob didn't understand why, he only knew that Tony had blown his only chance to get him. After a few seconds Bob resumed the attack; and continued until the bell sounded. When the bell rang, Tony left the ring immediately. If anything, the look of terror on his face increased after the fight was over. He had to find Sally; he had to explain to her that the punch he threw was just an accident. He found Sally comely sitting near Bob's corner. With great trepidation he approached her. " Sally, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit him honest I didn't." Sally smiled up at the petrified Tony. " I know you didn't hit him on purpose," she said, " because if you had, you'd be on the way to the hospital by now. It was just a reflex action. You're just lucky you didn't hurt him, that's all." She rose and patted Tony on the head. " You were a good boy tonight. And now, if you will excuse me, I have to congratulate my brave boyfriend." Sally climbed into to ring and gave Bob a long, passionate kiss. " You're my hero." As she hugged her love, Sally looked down at Tony...and winked.
