This battle takes place in Apocalypse’s Lair in a arena. The place is well lit in the main arena by artificial lights. Wolverine at this time does not have adamantium bones or claws. Sabretooth has enhanced strength and adamantium bones and claws. Apocalypse welcomes Logan by telling that his destiny awaits. Wolverine makes his way to the center of the arena, when Suddenly Sabretooth leaps out and attacks Wolverine. Wolverine manages to leap out of the way, but by the time he gets up Sabretooth slashes Wolverine across his back (FIRST STRIKE & BLOOD: SABRETOOTH 1).

Wolverine wonders why Sabretooth is there? Sabretooth takes that moment to punch Wolverine in the ribs which causes them to break (SABRETOOTH 2) and then Sabretooth slashes Wolverine across his face (SABRETOOTH 3).

Wolverine kicks Sabretooth in the face (WOLVERINE 1) and ask what this is all about. Sabretooth explains that who ever wins the fight gets to become Apocalypse’s horseman of Death. Wolverine knows that Sabretooth will cherish killing innocents and decides to beat Sabretooth, because he knows that he could eventually break from Apocalypse’s brainwashing. Wolverine get s mad and slashes Sabretooth’s across his face (WOLVERINE 2).

Sabretooth tries to slash back, but misses. Wolverine stabs both his claws into Sabretooth’s gut (WOLVERINE 3).

Then lift Sabretooth over his head until his claws poke out the back of Sabretooth. (WOLVERINE 4). Wolverine throws Sabretooth to the ground (WOLVERINE 5). Wolverine tells Sabretooth that usually this is where he lets Sabretooth go and he doesn’t know why he always held back from taking Sabretooth out, maybe it was the friendship they once had.

Wolverine tells Sabretooth that not this time and slashes and slashes and cuts away at Sabretooth’s flesh (WOLVERINE 6,7,8,9). Wolverine stands over Sabretooth, who is now a uncurious bloody mess.

WOLVERINE WINS, GOING BY THE POINT SYSTEM WOLVERINE DOMINATED WITH 9 TO 3. Plus Wolverine left Sabretooth a bloody mess on the floor, so either way he won. Wolverine was taken by surprise in the beginning, so Sabretooth actually got first strike and draw first blood, but clearly Wolverine dominated the fight getting 9 great hits in, while Sabretooth had only 3. The fight changed once Wolverine knew what was at stake.
