Wearing fresh green gloves and towering over his peers, The Mighty Kreshner is SABLE's leading Callistan fighter and the league's current title-holder. Kreshner carries himself like a sort of big brother to the other SABLE boxers, believing they can push themselves beyond their limits to realize their potential while also being the enormous roadblock in their path towards that potential. He'll offer encouraging words outside a match, complimenting and talking up his opponents in pre-fight promo cuts, but then he'll also try to go for the ten-count knockout in the first round. "You can do it, but I ain't gonna make it easy". The Mighty Kreshner is Murb's pick for a special show match they have planned, if they can ever get a hold of their special guest fighter. Murb has not been so lucky, so Kreshner is happy to continue defending his title from his band of little sibling boxers.
It seems almost unfair to allow a Callistan to box in SABLE, but it's thanks to everyone else's cheating little advantages that they have a fair shot of taking down the Jovian titan. Kreshner has a height and weight advantage over most other boxers, he is fast and agile for his size, his reach is surpassed only by Mrgyl the Kraken but in the context of his other advantages that's a fairly small comfort. Kreshner keeps his head quills bound and keeps bands around his forearms to keep his natural defenses from unintentionally hurting his opponents; he's got a lot of natural advantages working in his favor, and so he tends to play a very aggressive style, knowing he has the stamina and constitution to shrug off more damage than his opponents tend to be able to. Overestimating his endurance is one of Kreshner's shortcomings, and he's lost the SABLE championship title a few times because of this, and when he comes back for it he's a force to be reckoned with.
The Mighty Kreshner is unique in that he doesn't really need to cheat to win in the way the other boxers do, so what he likes to do is find ways to mimic other boxers' trademark little tricks. He would originally try to use a boxer's own moves against them, but since the skill level of SABLE's headline fighters has risen he's started to mix things up and use other fighters' moves against different boxers. He'll kiss his glove like Dazzlin' Dean and just put all his weight into a dizzying blow to the head. He'll put his mitts up and mimic Enrico the Comet's own Comet Crash, barging his way through an opponent's offense to put them on the backfoot. He can't see statuses like Viktor Quick but he'll still perform a super-sized version of his Ice Cap Upper to close out a match. He'll tap his gloves together in emulation of Mr. Nice Guy before putting a little Callistan elbow grease behind a breathtaking body shot. He'll flex his quills when he's taking a shot to the flanks or the upper arms to put a quick little point on his defenses in a parody of Mrgyl's Kraken Sting. He'll fan his body quills left or right to throw off reactions to which side he's boxing from like Ragin' River's tail and he'll rest his head quill bundle against the ropes or the turnbuckle to take some weight off his feet like Stormin' Gale's sneaky little rest spots. Long-time SABLE fans can spot his cheeky little move copies, and they're often a staple of his matches against the other boxers.
Two big-time fans of The Mighty Kreshner are Red Raven's Amy and Timberwolf's Emily. When they were dating the pair used to love going to SABLE shows together and rooting for their boy before their own catastrophic break-up. It was a bitter split and they're definitely not friends now, and neither one is willing to give up The Mighty Kreshner as "their" fighter of choice. Amy always loved to see Kreshner's style copy techniques, thinking it's just so cool that a fighter could be adaptive enough to add those kinds of moves to their repertoire. Emily loved to see Kreshner leverage his physiological advantages and bully the other fighters out of their comfort zones. The pair have tried to be better about it, but when a fight's on the TV at the Ox & Carriage they'll still snip at one another for having the wrong reasons for liking "their" guy- this will usually lead to one of them dredging up some old drama and airing some old grievance, escalating their ex-lovers' argument and sometimes coming to blows. Everyone likes when SABLE is on the set but the patrons of the Ox & Carriage love it when they're front-row to a good old-fashioned pub brawl. Amy and Emily's quarrels will usually steal the show for a round or so until either Bi Feng intervenes or one of them puts the other through the Ox & Carriage's front window, or Bi Feng puts the both of them through the front window. That's SABLE, baby!
If you want to bet on a Mighty Kreshner fight, put some money on his opponents in the late round. Kreshner in the third is not a huge payout, but his opponent by decision can make you a lot of credits if you happen to pick the right fight. Just put up your money, pick a god and pray.
