Description
This is the last piece of a series of work that started with the "new challenger work.

The best way to set up the fight itself was that for the first few rounds, Theodore kept a slight lead, but Mateo stubbornly makes the lead narrow with a bit of
bullheaded offense, resulting in the first two rounds being a bit more active for both fighters. In the third round, Theodore decides to throw off Mateo with a bit of strategy- he shows a bit of proficiency with flicker jabs- doing quite a number on Mateo's right cheek, then confusing the latter with changing his stances, at a few odd intervals.

Mateo, not used to dealing with facing the flicker jab, combined with a dislike of fighting southpaw opponents, struggled to keep up, but ended up damaged over the course of the round. In the last round,
Mateo clams up, so Theodore opens his guard up a bit, to tempt Mateo into attacking, the latter tries to land a good hit to try and stun Theodore, but this was
what he wanted- after applying pressure with jabs and straights, Theodore corners Mateo and lands some good hits that drop Mateo to the canvas, unable
to continue, ending with a KO victory for Theodore. Despite the annoyance, Mateo learned a bit from this fight- he would resolve to improve his skills and
one day, challenge Theodore to a rematch.

The results of this came up in a bit of roleplay with the first piece. So it was only a matter of translating the results to picture form. Definitely a fun way to come up with something. On top of that,
I experimented with a few things- mostly in setting up Mateo as he's out for the count, and a bit more for the shoelaces- those tend to give me trouble, but I tinkered with a little something to simplify
doing them, and I'm pleased with the results, so I may use the method from here on out. After wards, it was down to colors, shading/lighting, and adding the bruises/abrasions accumulated over the course of the fight. Alas for Mato on this defeat, but hopefully he'll learn much from this one.
