Gabriel Vs Ian...Middleweights Match...I jimsub81

Following the the match where the tought team of HB and Kane had totally destroyed the team of Alex and Troy the next event was announced.

"Our next match is a middleweight bout. First, entering the arena standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing in at 186 pounds, making his debut at TW...GABRIEL!" The handsome blond teen trotted to the ring to polite applause. He was a total unknown yet a few of the girls were taken by his shy smile and his cute boyish face as he passed them. He climbed into the ring wearing his white brief trunks and waited for his adversary. "And his opponent, standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing in at 169 pounds...IAN" Ian jogged to the ring getting a few more cheers. He had won a match early on in TW against Rico but had been relatively quiet since then. Ian wanted to get back into the ring more often especially since the league was becoming more and more popular. When he saw Gabriel he thought him a good match; someone he could beat but not look like a jobber. The two teens faced off in ring center. They were the same height but Gabriel had the weight advantage. He wasn't fat but had little muscle tone and there was a definite pudginess on his belly and his chest looked a like it had a very slight layer of flab over it. But he still looked strong. Ian had much better muscle tone and was on the verge of being called a "muscleteen". But he had another 6 months at least of hard weight training to get there. He knew he was giving up a few pounds to the 16 year old but thought Gabe was not in shape enough to take him. The bell rang and the fight was on...

Ian came out not knowing what to expect from Gabe so he attacked quickly. He rammed Gabe with a shoulder block that drove the first timer to a corner. Gabe grunted as his back collided with the turnbuckles and the 15 year old's weight slammed from the front. Ian then hip tossed him to the mats following with a heavy knee to the back. He came around and locked a side head lock on Gabe pulling him up to his feet as he did so. Gabriel strained to get free but Ian had some strong arms and he was trapped for the moment. Ian cranked his head lock up a notch and Gabe needed to do something. He reached up with his left hand and grabbed Ian's hair and gave a hard pull. Ian released the hold and dropped an elbow to the back of the blonde's neck. That made Gabe release the hair and Ian dropped another elbow to the neck forcing Gabriel to his knees.

Ian came around to the front of the kneeling boy in preparation for pulling him up again. But, Gabe reached out and grabbed both of Ian's legs behind the knees and pulled them out from under him. Ian snapped back surprised and Gabriel pounced on him more quickly than most would have expected him to. Gabe dropped a knee to Ian's right thigh. Ian grabbed at it and Gabe stood up and shot a few hard kicks to the same spot. Ian was hurting as Gabe grabbed his hair and pulled him to his feet. A hard chop to Ian's strong chest followed by a forearm to the head stunned him. Gabriel then tossed him to a corner and Ian hit chest first. Gabe then plowed into him with all his 186 pounds. Ian was winded and Gabe pulled back a bit and crushed into Ian again sandwiching him between him and the turnbuckles. After slamming Ian's face into the padded buckle three time Gabriel showed some serious strength and lifted Ian into a back suplex dropping him hard to the ring's center. Ian was in a world of hurt as Gabe dropped a heavy knee to the chest then pulled him up again. He whipped him to the ropes and connected with an elbow to the chest and Ian went down hard again.

Ian rolled over to his knees and Gabe began to pull Ian up by his hair again. Ian had taken a few hard shots and knew he had to mount some sort of offense or the big boy was going to defeat him. As he was being pulled to his feet he saw and opening in the form of the blonde's chubby belly. He fired a quick yet hard punch to it. Gabriel grunted but didn't release Ian's hair. He fired another punch to the same spot and Gabe was stunned. Ian took advantage and reached back for all he had and punched again. Gabriel's soft belly meat rippled slightly as the hard fist sunk deep this time and Gabe doubled over. Ian then turned the tide of the match 180 degrees and whipped Gabriel into the ropes clotheslining him across the chest and sending him down to the canvas hard.

Gabe was now experiencing the full treatment of real ring action and had to get adjusted to it. Ian had been there before and used his experience. He came down hard on Gabe's chest with an elbow. As he got back to his knees he plowed another fist into the soft belly. Ian pulled Gabriel up again and shot him into the ropes catching him in a crotch slam and turning him over into a power slam. Gabe was riddled with tingles and Ian went for the pin. The referee got to a two and a half count before Gabe showed his resolve and strength by pressing Ian off him. Both boys were now getting up but Ian was quicker and cinched on a side head lock. Gabe didn't pussy foot around this time and drove Ian to a turnbuckle. The impact caused Ian to loosen the grip some and he freed himself. They now stood toe to toe and Gabe slammed hard backhand chops across Ian's strong chest while Ian drove hard fists into Gabriel's pudgy gut. After each teen landed seven blows to the other Ian landed one to the diaphragm that hurt Gabriel causing him to bend slightly. Ian moved in on him and Gabriel still fought back by nailing Ian in his balls. Ian fell to his clutching his aching family jewels. Gabriel stumbled away to catch his breath.

Apparently each teen had underestimated the other as no victor seemed obvious yet. They recovered and closed again on each other. Ian's chest was beaten red as was Gabriel's gut. They locked up collar & elbow. Gabriel tried to bull Ian with his weight and Ian countered with his muscle. Ian then slipped Gabriel into yet another side head lock. Gabe tried to push him into the corner as he did earlier but before he could Ian leapt off his feet and applied the DDT. He rolled him over and dropped both knees to the cute blonde's pot belly. Ian's 169 pounds squashed the boy's soft guts cruelly. The air whooshed from Gabriel's lungs and Ian hooked his leg and got the three count. The bell sounded and Ian was announced the winner of the hard fought match. Ian reached down and offered his hand. Gabe was disappointed at the loss but knew Ian had beat him fair and square. He took the assist and gave Ian a pat on the back. After the recent matches showing little, if any, sportsmanship the crowd was happy to see the display of two good sports. As they left the ring together Gabriel asked if he might train with Ian sometime. Ian gladly agreed. Gabriel knew he was green and promised himself he was going to lean from this experience. He was confident his next match would turn out differently.
