It's a shame, though, that you can't show your...what was it? Super strength? I think that would be fun to have a spar with, just to see how "super" it is.
Best out of three matches. Three attempts to "floor" the other, and if they don't get up within ten seconds, then they lose the match. Fists only. Does that sound reasonable?
[He's rolling his fists, starting to lean back and forth to get in the rhythm with true boxer's expertise - and then he's jabbing a right hook straight at the man's face.]
[ Kotetsu certainly doesn't have the skills or refinement that Sholmes does, but he does, at least have some decent reflexes. It's just unfortunate that he's not graceful in any of this.
So, he mostly dodges, it still catches his cheek. The dodge is an awkward one to the side and he stumbles over his feet a little.
Sorry your sparring partner isn't an A Class boxers, but it doesn't get him down. He plants his feet to get his grounding and faces Sholmes again. This time, he's the one throwing a punch with his left hand to start. ]

[ RIDICULOUS. But true. ]
I didn't expect him to kick it, but whatever works. I guess sometimes pressure makes you bond with a person.
no subject
[But that last part makes him smile, almost a little fondly.]
It certainly does. One sees strength through adversity, and plus, one can see sides of a person that shine brilliantly through danger.

[ It's still pretty impressive! ]
It's pretty amazing the things people can do when they're in a crisis.
[ Good and bad. ]
no subject
[And he nods at that!]
Indeed. Which is why I'm excited to see what you will offer us in our time of need, Wild Tiger.

[ So, these things happen! ]
Hopefully I don't let you down, then.

[He says this sincerely.]

[ He sounds pretty pleased by this. Finley also seems to get a little bounce in her step at this approval. ]

I can punch holes in buildings. I'd be worried about accidentally doing something if we were to spar. But I've got some strength even without that.
no subject
[that sounds EXCITING]
Well, even in your depowered state, that would be fun! I'm sure you must be an experienced fighter.
no subject
I do have a pretty strong punch on me.
[ Grins a little. ]
Does the great detective want to add fighting a superhero to his accomplishments?
no subject
Perhaps. I never back down from a challenge, after all, and it could be quite fun.

It'd probably be good to set down some rules for the fight.

Bare hands or...?

Are they going to just
Brawl here?
And he puts his fists up, giving him a look. Is it now? ]
no subject
[anyways he's just barking out a laugh, raising his fists as well.]
An eager man! I see, I see! I'll be gracious and allow you to strike first, if you so choose.
no subject
No reason to hold back when we've already got the rules set, right?
[ Grin grin grin. ]
I'll let you go first. I want to see what you've got.
no subject
Oh. Very well.
