(I'm also trying to work off this imagery... shrugs helplessly)
--
Kageyama leans into the strike on his jaw, leans right into it like it’s a first kiss and a blessing.
The only warning he got was a whiff of air, an almost sweet reprieve in the heavy fog of old sweat and coppery blood that hangs over the haphazard ring marked out on the concrete floor. But it's more than enough, he’s a natural at this, victory the only acceptable outcome for a born genius, and his body falls into the easy rhythm of the fight like this is all it has ever known.
He can feel more than hear the break of bone as Oikawa’s fist connects, and Kageyama knows he’s one step closer to the win.
(Lesser opponents would have already crowed their triumph over Oikawa, but Oikawa does not break easily even when broken; this is how lesser opponents have lost to the Grand King, and this is why they are less.)
(Oikawa is often injured, injured constantly. He wears each angry red stitch on his pretty face with a smile, and oh, how they love him for it.)
Kageyama throws his hands up, guarding close to the face. A bruise is already blooming on his cheek, dark and beautiful and aching deep, and he knows Oikawa will cruelly press teeth and tongue to it later to remind him of it. There is delight writ large across Oikawa's face, the twist of a smile that has him tilting his chin up prettily, but Oikawa’s eyes have gone flat and dark and they look down at him like he’s not even worth this fight, like he’s worth absolutely nothing at all. It nails him to where he’s standing and in that split second, Kageyama can read Oikawa’s every intent in the tension across his shoulders, the elegant shift of his hip and the fall of his feet, the flex of his fingers broken and useless.
Kageyama is going to be the best one day, he’s going to rule the fights every night like a monster and a tyrant; but tonight, it’s still too early yet.
"Your hand is broken--" Kageyama hears himself saying stupidly, right as Oikawa gets him under his guard and Kageyama can hear the awful grind of bone as the fist connects with his stomach, first, and then when he doubles over he feels the other hand come up like a kiss on the side of his mouth. And then it’s all too bright lights, the people ringed around them screaming Oikawa’s victory, and Kageyama is on his hands and knees throwing up bile and fresh blood onto the dirty concrete floor.
When Kageyama finally looks up, mouth still wet, dazed by crowd noise and a loss that stings, that tastes of the blood coppery warm in his mouth, all he sees is Oikawa’s silhouette, the bright outline of lights that frame Oikawa’s height and the careless elegance of it. Pain runs throughout Kageyama’s entire body as he tries to push himself to his feet, controls the ache of it through the count of his breathing huffed shallow through the nose and fluttering tired in his chest, and it’s only when he catches one deep and still enough that he can hear the exact words of the crowd, the manic chanting of win, the screams of more.
“Until the last man standing, Tobio-chan.”
There’s hands on his face, almost gentle, and then in his hair, painful, and Oikawa is hauling him back to his feet for another round.
(Oikawa fights like he fucks, with blood in his mouth, like he doesn’t want to know what it means to lose.)

I love the nitty-gritty atmosphere you gave it! It really sells the entire thing, how rough they are with each other, how they're both refusing to let the other win. Especially with Kageyama, even though he's losing horribly.
Thank you so much! (gonna go sit down and think about the possibilities ( ´･･)ﾉ)
