As Laz finally got on stage after talking of his shoes, shirt and jacket, all he could hear was the crowd. Many people were betting against him as they didn't think he had what it took to beat the killer he would be facing. There was also discussion going around about why this fight was taking place as many assumed that other fighters would do better from the crowd who seemed one part horny and one part blood thirsty. Several hostesses were going around and quietly giving some bullshit reason for it, but Laz didn't even bother to listen to it. Pretty soon, his opponent was on the stage across from him.
The only one who didn't bothering questioning this was Tommy. He could figure out pretty quickly that it was probably something the old man had arranged after watching him fight. He knew that the only reason he would do this was because the old man felt that none of the other fighters were worthy. Jesse didn't care either way but Annie was looking on with die hard fervor.
