Sakura buckled as the low blow connected, severely winded and stumbling from the dirty hit. A hard wince and a sucking breath came out of the street fighter as the feeling of the impact rolled through her. She threw a hard kick at the head of her splitting opponent, but rather than knocking Sonya on her back like Sakura had hoped, her trembling leg simply scrapped her opponent's chin and jostled her slightly. The new fighter did not want to lose the momentum or crowd goodwill she'd built up with her special move, but the fist to her groin was like running into a brick wall, and left her winded and off balance.
Sonya easily managed to return to her feet in the time this gave her, but Sakura committed to attacking again before she could seize the initiative. "That's gonna earn you a punish!" She gritted through the pain, gaining control of her senses again to swing for Sonya's torso, a weaker and more easily dodged punch than usual. Sakura followed it up however, by using the closeness of the two fighters to drive her knee into Sonya's stomach, causing the older woman to buckle over slightly, letting Sakura reach one had down her back and deliver a quick swat to her backside, before being shoved away by the veteran fighter.
The crowd response was instant and vigorous. Even though it was a quick, weak, singular slap, Sakura had landed the first in ring spanking by a newcomer to a regular. The line of haze victims broke into cheers and calls for the street fighter to strip Sonya naked, smack her red, and inflict other indignities, while the veterans cooed and taunted Sonya about the fact that she just got her butt hit by a rookie. "I think the only brat in this ring happens to be you!" Sakura taunted while holding her guard up, in response to an embarrassed blush she'd put on Sonya's face.
