"I don't know," Malcolm said, "this guy looks mean as hell."

"Not just mean, he packs a mean punch too," Matt said, "most fighters can't take too many punches from him."

"I know his type, trust me he's no match for Riley. Ten billion says Riley takes it."

"Barry's right, we could win double the amount. I'm putting my money on Riley," said Tim Brown.

"Me too," everyone agreed except Brian Hayes.

"I don't know, this guys gotta be a champion for a reason right?" Brian Hayes said. "I'll put five billion for him."

"I've put five billion for the champ too," said Matt Baton. "I've seen him win, he's pretty good with that left hook."

"Alright boys, let's see what happens," said Barry Jackson smirking.
