*The Next Day* *In Mac's Training Area*
Mac fixed his boxing gloves, having just gone through a tough training session. Doc Louis walked into their gym. "Are you ready, Mac? Your first bout in the Neo Minor Circuit is today."
Mac nodded. "Yep. It's game time. Little Mac is back in action!" The trainer and pupil met with a fistbump and headed out to the car to go to the bout.
*Minor Circuit HQ*
Doc Louis pulled out a small computer, getting info on the opponent while he and Mac walked out to the ring. The Minor Circuit ring had been spruced up since they were there last. The crowd was cheering for the match to start, and Mac's opponent was already in the ring when Mac climbed in. He was a rather young man, though still older than Mac, with short black hair and green eyes. He had no top and wore black shorts with a blue waistband, as well as blue boxing gloves. He wore a confident smirk.
"You got this, kid." Doc said as Mac entered the ring. He put on a battle face.

The display above the ring flickered on, showing that it was Round 1.
Jake Massie quickly got in Mac's face, pointing his glove in his face. (A/N: In the game, he'd be doing this to the camera.) "You're old news, Macko!" He said, a clear Boston accent in his voice. "Lemme show ya how we do things nowadays! Let's play ball!" He jumped back and put up his dukes.
The referee then got in. "Fight!"
Jake Massie made a come-on gesture with his glove. "Hey, batta batta!" Mac saw a yellow flash and quickly dealt out a jab, gaining a Star from it.
Star Count: 1
Massie quickly got back up, but didn't go for any attacks. Mac decided to take the initiative and nailed Massie twice in the torso with no hitch before he blocked the next punch. Remembering his match with Glass Joe, Mac went after his face next, getting two more hits before being blocked again. Using an alternation of two punches from body to head to body, etc., he managed to deal some good damage.
Jake Massie Stamina: 5/8 of max
Jake Massie cocked his head back and forth. "All right, let's really get this on!" He said, beating his fists together. He then moved his arms to his left side with his left hand in his right hand, like a hand in a pitcher's glove. "Come on!" He threw a jab from his left hand. Mac saw the attack coming and quickly dodged. "Shoot!" He griped. Mac quickly reacted and dealt a series of six punches to his head, locking him in a stun with birds flying around him, knocking him back once he finished. Massie went back for the same maneuver. "Haaaah…" This time, Mac saw an opening. He did a quick right jab, negating the attack and scoring another Star.
Star Count: 2
Massie did the pitcher-glove stance to the right this time. "Down the…" His right hand went for Mac in an uppercut, which Mac dodged. "Darn it!" Mac dealt five punches, but on his sixth punch, he concentrated energy for a Star Punch. The uppercut hit dead-on with two-Star power, sending him reeling. "Strike one…!" He moaned before falling flat on the ring.

Jake Massie Stamina: 7/8 of max
"Down the…" Massie went for the uppercut maneuver, this time nailing Mac. "Plate!" Mac wasn't too fazed: It honestly didn't hurt that much. "Come on!" A jab came, but Mac quickly countered for a Star.
Star Count: 1
Massie then stepped back and made a gesture where he seemingly pointed outward to the sky. "Time for the Slugger!" He then moved his hands back in the fashion of holding a baseball bat before swinging them quickly in a two-handed hook, nailing Little Mac hard.
Little Mac Stamina: 1/2 of max

"Hey, batta batta!" Massie taunted, only to get himself punched for a Star.

Star Count: 2
Massie then stepped back and did the pointing gesture, indicating the Slugger on its way. Mac paid attention this time, ducking under the hook. "Oh no!" Mac then laid into him with an eight-hit combo. "Hey, batta batta!" Counterpunched for a Star.
Star Count: 3
"Haaah…" The jab came for him, but it was dodged. "Darn it!" Mac laid into him with six punches. "Down the…" The uppercut was easily dodged. "Ack!" Six more punches followed. "Come on!" Another easily dodged jab, no need to counterpunch due to his full Star Count. "Oh no!" Six more hits laid into his. Jake stepped back and did the pointing gesture for the Slugger, but remembered a certain opening in his move. Right before Jake let loose with the double-handed hook, Mac nailed him with a well-placed right hook. The hook struck a vital spot. "Strike two…!" The attack was completely stopped, and Jake Massie stumbled around before falling.

With the clock running down, Mac made a split-second decision and gathered his Stars into his fist. Jake Massie yelled in fear as the Star Punch was charged. The powerful uppercut slammed into the Boston boxer's cheek. "STRIKEOUT…!" He yelled as he spun in the air, landing face-first on the mat with a groan, not getting up.
TKO!

"Whoo-hoo!" Mac cheered, leaping into the air as the crowd roared in applause. He did a few fistpumps out of victory. "Yeah!"

"Time for a Boston Massacre, Mac baby. Dodge his punches, and then swing for the benches!"
