This challenge happened tonight! I was there!

Overlord Salvador Delahada dueled under the banner of a golden crowned tribal sun rising over a line of water on a field of red. His Second el Gatito Lindo,and he fought for his own honor.

Baron Jackson Payne raised up a banner of seven black halos on a field of red. His Second [/i]in absentia[/i] was Szuzak Mos, and he fought in honor of Myra, Zylith, Rena, and Alexis.

To the surprise of no one, the Overlord chose to test the renegade Baron, appointing Mira Burke, Squire of Dragon's Gate, as his Champion. Arriving just in time, Baron Hope Naharis of Seaside stepped in as Challenger's Advocate, which was likely no surprise either. Champion and Advocate met in the ring, and after a dynamic match that swung between breather and action rounds leading to Sudden Death, Hope took the match and cleared Jackson's path to face Salvador.

Before their match began, Sal asked Jackson just why he decided to challenge, and the young man assured him it was nothing personal, he just thought it would be a good way to relax.

Yes, that's right, the kid is so badass¹ that he challenges the Overlord to relax. He got the first hit, too, after a mutually quiet opening round. Once Sal took Jackson's measure, though, he barely let up for the rest of the match, allowing the Baron only one more point and clinching the defense 5-2 in 8 rounds.

.....Why was there a rock in the challenge ring to begin with?

Terrible, terrible janitorial work.
