'Goliath' charged forward and Gina smirked- crappy tactic... she'd soon wipe the floor with this oaf.<br/><br/>She waited till the last moment then sidestepped and drove a fist into his face.<br/><br/>The blow glanced off his jaw- making less impression than a raindrop..  Gina's eyes widened in surprise.<br/><br/>Ciorsdan then surprised her again.  His false charge stopped just past her as he had intended.  Then he simply swept out a leg while pushing her gently in the chest.  Astonished by the change of pace she was unable to keep up and fell heavily onto her back.<br/><br/>The Irish gladiator dropped onto her belly, using his massive strength to quickly pin her arms, but not before she'd punched his chest- another blow that he simply ignored.<br/><br/>Pinned down, and about to take some serious punishment, she fought like a hellcat and wormed her lithe body out of his cruel embrace.  Rolling free she saw him rise.  How had he gotten the better of her? Fluke? Still neither had managed to hurt the other in the first exchange.<br/><br/>"I'll make you pay for that." she promised as she prepared to rise.
