Round 1

The bell rings and both fighters charge to the center to circle each other. Punches are exchanged but it looks like a low impact workout. Biking comes straight forward pedaling punches left, right, and left again, but he can’t seem to catch swimming as he uses different strokes to give biking a full body workout.
Biking is starting to look a bit stationary. Well folks, it looks like it could be winding down. Biking looks winded and swimming looks like he can still do laps.
Now swimming is working the back, and shoulders, chest, core, and legs! And HE’S DOWN! MR. WHEELS HIMSELF HAS GONE DOWN! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! The Referee, Jon Fargo, is now at his side giving the count: 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1!
That’s it! That’s the fight! Swimming is the winner by first round knock out and is the Exercise Heavy Weight Champion!!!!!!!
