So Big Mac was at Fancy Pants's own personal gym, punching the bags real hard!

"Hello Big Macintosh!"

"Hey there Fancy Pants, what are you doing here?'

"It has occurred to me, that you haven't been taking training seriously!"

"What? What do you mean I haven't been taking it seriously coach?"

"Well, I feel like it's time for us, to make those 1st punches together!"

"Wha..."

"Guesto Gusto, my boxing glove please!"

"Yes master, Fancy Pants!"

"And also, call our wives Fleur & Cheerilee in here."

"Yes Master!"

So in just a few minutes...

"You go honey!" Fleur said while waving a flag.

"I know you can win Big Mac!" Cheerilee cried.

"Ready Big Mac?" He said, while raising his fists.

"Yes Coach!"

"Then come at me! Start off with a few normal punches to my face!"

He did as Fancy Pants asked, and went in for a few cross punches, the left fist to his right & right fist to his left! Then after Big Mac finished his combo.

"Okay, now try blocking & dodging! You must know to time these right!"

"Gotcha coach!"

Then Fancy Pants went to Big Mac's right!

"Here I go!"

Then Big Mac dodged, then Fancy Pants went to Big Mac's left!

"Now block!"

Then Big Mac blocked!

"You may take minor damage when blocking, but remember, you can't block & dodge every attack! There will come a time my friend when you need to counter!"

"Alright!"

"Now..." Then Fancy Pants magically charged his body, and lunged at Big Mac, that's when Big Mac punched! Which sent the rich stallion back!

"Excellent, now Big Mac, remember, if they block the face, hit the stomach, if they block the stomach, hit the face!"

"Got it!"

"Now then..." Then Fancy Pants blocked his face, then Big Mac began hitting the stomach! After that, Fancy Pants blocked the stomach, giving Big Mac the sign to hit the face!

"Excellent! *pant!* *Pant!* Now for something really important, every boxer will have their own gimmick, if you can get past that gimmick, then the fight will weigh in your favor!" Then he pulled out a smoking pipe, which Big Mac punched out of his hand!

"What?" He said in slow motion..."You shouldn't have done that, in the next part of this lesson, you would know that some opponents get angry and much more violent when you punch something out of their hooves! Sweet Suitor, get ready to catch my shirt!" Then he ripped it off, and threw it to his left revealing he was wearing a pink cheetah skin vest! "Now you're going to get it!"

"Oh-nope!" Then he dodged a super fast punch, and countered! He kept on fighting back and kept on hitting the smoking pipes out of Fancy Pants's hooves despite him getting madder and madder! Just between you and me, he's just pretending!

"Final lesson, time for the Star Uppercut! I'm sure you notice the 3 stars glowing behind me on the wall right?"

"Eeyup!"

"Well, if you wish to inflict massive damage to your opponent, then you must hit them with this powerful punch! You can only use this punch if you hit them at the right moment, mostly during a counter attack or if they taunt you! Now, hit me!"

Then Big Mac assaulted him with a power charged fist! Fancy Pants was now wobbling meaning, he can now finish him off! Big Mac went in for the final blow until suddenly as soon as he connected with Fancy's stomach, he caught it!

"Good...on...you!" Then Fancy Pants fell on the ropes!

Then another one of Fancy's servants hit a bell.

"TKO!"

"Yes! Great job honey!" Cheerilee said as she ran over to hug her husband!

"You really think he can beat them all?"

"Yes my dear Fleur, he has the firey determination to win! I don't care much about his strive to prove to all he's now weak, but I know he will become champion!"

"You're such a kind stallion, just like when we 1st met!" Then she kissed Fancy Pants on the lips.
