BEFORE: The Global Boxing Syndicate booked a two-fight cougar showdown versus Donna D'Errico and first to step into the ring is Salli Richardson who claims she can still throw a mean punch or two before Jennifer Aniston mops up whatever is left from the former Baywatch actress next month. Some pundits believe Salli might be a little rusty regardless of her GBS gym work however Donna comes off a rough beating at the hands of Gena Lee Nolin so she could be vulnerable tonight given how unstable these cougars usually are following a defeat.

Salli Richardson wears a black crop top, matching hip-huggers & red gloves. Long black hair tied in a braid. Donna D'Errico wears a red bikini set & silver gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a loose bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Salli starts off with a heavy jabbing drive and outworks the blonde in a phone booth tussle before driving a vicious hook up her gut that forces Donna into a quick retreat. Salli jumps after her with more mean intentions but fails to land a proper money shot and allows Donna to hang around in mid-range before another back & forth dispute enables her to stuff the blonde in the corner. Salli drops a couple of belters to freeze her opponent and then plugs her in the cleavage that forces D'Errico behind an earmuff cover. However Richardson takes it from there and keeps pounding away to the blonde's body for remainder of the round.

Round 2:
Donna claws her way back into the fight by working to Salli's body herself but the power supply remains in demand and both women don't really punish each other that much. Salli tries to drill through the blonde's midsection again but eats a couple of nasty overhands that wobble her onto her heels and Donna is ablo to clean up some of the open holes and drive the older actress back to the ropes. Action stalls down there as Richardson clinches the former Baywatch starlet and even digs a stray elbow into her boobs which triggers a heated discussion between the two, Okay, more boxing less talking here! Donna rips one harpoon around the liver area to enjoy the last laugh but Salli keeps mouthing off even as she's escorted back to her corner.

Round 3:
More grudge boxing on display in the third as Donna goes upstairs to knock Salli's head back & forth until she walks into a swinging hook on the nose that cuts her across the ridge and allows the Chicago native to assume command in the close range. Ugh! Donna didn't see that last punch coming - quite literally - and she gets bulldozed to the ropes as the GBS cougar racks up the jabbing numbers to use her as target practice. Salli barks in her efforts and tries to smack more of the jug meat just to seemingly humiliate the Baywatch actress but she'd be better off just working on that nasal wound even though D'Errico disappears behind a tight earmuff come the final minute. Richardson reigns supreme bashing the subdued blonde in relentless fashion but she's unable to knock her down and shakes her head in frustration at the bell.

Round 4:
Salli seeks a more destructive approach and blows it into the blonde's face but just can't find that one big haymaker to fold Donna into pieces and has to buckle up for a similar response over the top as the Alabama native swings through the back & forth dispute in all-or-nothing fashion. It's a question of who can land that one meaningful punch here but the answer is nobody and both women suddenly wrap each other into a lenghty clinch in the center of the ring. Salli drives Donna onto the ropes and tries to wrestle her down to the canvas which raises some angry voices from the crowd before she drills some of the blonde's abs in the dying seconds but this was a messy round overall.

Round 5:
Another head-hunting charge from Richardson who aims for the nasal cut but misses on the swing and has to eat a similar effort from D'Errico who steps into a right hand on the chin that finally rattles the Chicago native again. Salli drops to her heels and tries to swing from there anyway only to find Donna's right hand crashing into her mouth to cause immediate dizziness. Uh-oh! Salli loses her balance and seeks a clinching respite but Donna drills one uppercut on the jaw sooner and then has a free shot that NAILS the older woman on the left temple SENDING HER DOWN FOR THE COUNT amid a wild roar from the audience! Huh! Talk about pulling a magic trick here! Donna struts back to her corner while Salli tries to sit up battling vertigo however she simply cannot shake off the daze in time! KO5 Donna D'Errico!!!

AFTER: That's a bitter pill to swallow for the GBS coach who looked pretty comfortable in the ring until she didn't. Salli still can't understand how she fell into this painful defeat and claims: "That blonde witch was lucky! I had her beat!" but the stable's cougar pride now lies in Jennifer Aniston's hands who is set to fight D'Errico next month. Over to your winner and Donna is ready for another PPV showdown: "Look, Salli maybe landed one good combo and I wasn't that busted up after Gena Lee... and yeah, bring on Jennifer next! She couldn't punch herself out of a wet paper bag so I'm gonna f### her up real bad!" (laughs).

Official Result: Donna D'Errico def. Salli Richardson KO5.
