Both combatants rose- though Aisha looked a little shaken by the blow to her head.  She adopted a defensive stance as Astur advanced menacingly.<br/><br/>"Things don't look too good for Aisha!" the announcer bellowed<br/><br/>Spectator's who had laid large amounts of money on Aisha to win screamed themselves hoarse encouraging her-<br/>"Come on take him down! Kick him in the nuts!  Knock his head off!"<br/><br/>Astur's fans rose to their feet eager for blood now that she looked shaken.<br/><br/>"100,000 on Astur!" a voice yelled- the computer took his bet and recorded his name- the money was automatically removed from his account.<br/><br/>Astur prowled forward, his muscles tense- as if waiting for Aisha to suddenly strike him.<br/>Then he darted in-  driving a hard kick into his enemy's left leg.<br/><br/>Aisha staggered but did not fall.  Stepping away she put a little distance between her and her opponent again.<br/><br/>
