Welterweight Championship Fight
AMANDA RIGHETTI (39 y/o, 5 ft 8, W: 125, L: 34) vs ROBYN LAWLEY (Welterweight Champion) (33 y/o, 6 ft 2, W: 31, L: 13)
Results: Lookout!, Write-up: Bonzo, with Scrubby McGee & Jenny Mac Appearances by Sceej!
Before: Robyn Lawley‘s this year‘s welter breakout star – the statuesque model‘s always seemed destined for big-girl stardom at her size, but she‘s suffered mediocre years and once lost nine fights in a row. No sign‘s left of that tenuous, shaky fighter this year – Lawley‘s already won the Diamond Boxing tourney and she‘s on incredible 17-fight winning streak! During her current title run, she‘s left a heap of welter girls in ruin – including shock n‘ awe knockouts of Hannah Ferguson and Kate Upton, two of the league‘s biggest stars.
“I‘m simply teaching welter girls what fear is,“ Robyn smiles when asked about her rampage. “But you know there‘s one job left, right? And it‘s Amanda! I‘m just one knockout away from ruling *all* of welter with an iron fist – and I won‘t be denied tonight! Once I take out Amanda, I‘m the most dominant woman in boxing!“
“Well, I guess you could say Robyn‘s a big girl,“ Amanda laughs. “Her size will definitely be a puzzle for me to solve, but I‘m confident I‘ll do just that! I can certainly promise you I will make the ring a much more miserable place for Robyn than either Kate or Hannah managed – that‘s for sure!“
Press manages to get commentary from legendary trainer, Scrubby McGee, on his welterweight champion: “Well, da' fact is I ain't sure what I got in big Robbie. She's made a lotta progress wince we got her here ... well, hell, she's champ, ain't she? But I been aroun' dis racket a long time - carried da bucket when Sinatra brought Loren over ta' fight Monroe ... I was just a kid, den ... an' I seen em come and I seen em go. Always said da best big goil I ever saw was Lynda Carter ... den dat Theron goil had me t'inkin maybe it was her? Den dis Righetti shows up ... and she's done t'ings I never seen! What - twenty straight title defenses? An' she always fought dat best - she damn near killed our Addie! Dat fight when Addie finally took her title? Woist job I ever did in a corner - woist!!! Shoul'da never let Addie come out for dat ninth round! Gena's fought Rig t'ree times - now Gena was past her prime, mind you ... but she never got past da toid round!“
“Well now we got Robbie an' like I said I ain't sure what we got exackly - but I do know dis - she's da strongest goil I ever seen lace up gloves! No question! Now ... don't make her da' hardest puncher .. not yet anyway. Hell, Addie hits harder den Robbie. But infightin? Clinch? Her strength is like nuthin' I evah seen. And she takes a punch! An' she's beat evryone dey tru at her ... but now she's got da redhead! So we're gonna see what we got!“
Also present (and even though no one asked!) is Jenny McCarthy, who offers her "insight': “Godzilla's gonna eat her alive! First round knockout! Print that! And remember Jenny Mac's the one who called it!“
FCBA legends Ali Landry and Jennifer O‘Dell will once again offer their expert analysis about the battle before, during and after the fight...
“Amanda‘s got experience handling bigger girls well,“ Ali asserts. “She‘s dominated Karlie Kloss after an early hiccup and she‘s pounded Iskra Lawrence to sleep and that girl had real friggin‘ heft!“
“Sure, Ali,“ Jennifer says. “But Karlie ain‘t got Robyn‘s hardness – that freight train of a physique. And Iskra‘s middleweight big, but she‘s Amanda‘s height – that‘s a totally different equation! No, I think Righetti‘s going to get *battered* in this fight. And no, it won‘t be her fault one bit – she‘ll just go tumbling down like Hannah and Kate did, because this fight just isn‘t on their racket! It‘ll change nothing about Righetti‘s legend, but it will mean there‘s a new sheriff in welter town!“
“I‘m curious, Jenny,“ Ali asks. “Does this mean you think Robyn‘s *never* going to lose a match in the FCBA ring again, like, at all?“
“That‘s not what I‘m saying,“ Jenny smiles. “Remember the last girl who blasted out a division *purely* because of her size? Yeah, that was Kristanna Loken! Until girls found out Kris didn‘t like being backed up against the ropes, and had a glassy lil‘ chin! Not saying that‘ll happen to Lawley, but girls need to find SOME chink in her armour, and until they do, they‘re just lining up to go to sleep at her feet.“
“I think we only need to look at Robyn‘s past to find that chink,“ Ali says. “She‘s always had size, of course, and she‘s polished her technique quite a bit. But most importantly – she‘s so freakin‘ CONFIDENT right now! Without that confidence, she‘s just a big, sluggish, slow-moving kind of fighter – I think once Amanda‘s able to make her passive, let some doubt creep into her game, we‘ll see Amanda punishing Robyn at the ropes, like she always does!“
Predictions, girls?
“I think Amanda will hold up well on the cards,“ Jenny says. “She‘ll come out a-stormin‘, stay quick and aggressive for a while, and get a serious knockdown in the first half, but she‘ll get tired before Robyn does, and Robyn‘s right hand finishes her off – possibly out of nowhere – in the eight or ninth!“
“Righetti‘s going to take damage tonight, no doubt,“ Ali counters. “But her stamina‘s always ready to save her and I think she‘ll still be up n‘ running in the tenth! Right hands will fly late and Robyn‘s going to take that nap and her reign will be OVER!“
Fight: R1: Righetti storms out like a small terrier against Robyn‘s big-girl prey – the hunt is on!
Amanda takes charge mid-ring immediately, spooking Robyn‘s entry with a hiss of lead right hands, as Lawley‘s still slowly stepping into her game! A leggy speed spurt sets up Righetti‘s dip, step n‘ rip-it attack – a smooth, rolling uppercut claws across Robyn‘s teeth/mouth, drawing a leggy falter from six-foot-two blonde seconds into the fight! Righetti snarls, nimble-steps right as Lawley chops back an angry right – ‘Manda takes the dip, chucks a body jab to Robyn‘s toned tummy, making Aussie‘s right hand sail out wide to sea! Lawley shows early blinks, moves a little slow, a little sluggish as she‘s motoring to the right, trying to set her feet proper, establish her bigness in the ring – Righetti settles into a leggy, supple prowl, staying well out of Robyn‘s right hand‘s detonation zone.
A minute in, Robyn‘s trying to entrench a forward jab, set up that feared full-bodied right hand blast – she‘s clearly bothered by Righetti‘s madly leggy tacks n‘ turns, but pure aggression‘s not the proper answer!
Righetti waits her turn, getting a good grasp of Lawley‘s reach, range early on – she‘s all-springy on her feet, her arms danglin‘, keepin‘ her her head in little tick-tock motions to stay elusive. Amanda‘s body jab a wicked punch for big Robyn – redhead‘s able to potshot it to Lawley‘s mid-riff, and she‘s out to step-right in a circle before Aussie‘s able to answer! Robyn stiffens a bit in the process, clutching her elbows at the tummy – she‘s tense, flinching once she senses Righetti‘s body hook kick! ‘Manda shows the jab, brings the right hand instead – it‘s a tidy SWIPE of a shot across Robyn‘s mouth/jaw! Lawley‘s broad, wide back tilting baaaaaaaccck dangerously at first, as redhead power spreads through her system – she‘s mitts-at-temples, rigid, hurt whack! Righetti snarls, tugs away to Robyn‘s ribs, flanks – finally secures her in sweaty embrace at the ropes for ref‘s break!
Down the stretch – Righetti keeps nibblin‘ away at Robyn‘s strengths (targets her to the tummy/lats/tits), taking scoots out left n‘ right in fast turns, her strong back muscles tense under the work! Robyn‘s being sullen, slow, still trudging through the hurt in pursuit of a jab, right hand opportunity – can‘t match Righetti‘s leggy ferocity in first round!
“Righetti‘s bringing her A-game, no doubt,“ Ali Landry concludes with an upbeat smile during the break. “She‘s doing exactly what she needs to be doing to fell that tower!“
R2: Robyn‘s pure, *freakish* power reveals the danger for Righetti‘s well-being tonight in early trade of jabs, crosses mid-ring – the jab itself‘s already a wallop against Righetti‘s shoulders/chest/arms, making it almost impossible for sturdy Amanda to hold her stance falter-free once the connect‘s real! Righetti blinks a confused beauty, stays set for a nanosecond late, eats up Robyn‘s right for the first time, hit on her ear – and it‘s a blast good God! Righetti groans, her torso rocked upright, eyes a-daze, her sturdy frame suddenly ginger – redhead‘s wondrous legs kick in, allowing her to roam backward a slide, but Righetti‘s early leggy command‘s obliviated in one ramrod assault of right hand hurt!
Lawley finding her feet a minute and a half in – it‘s still a slow, flat-footed trudge set against Righetti‘s speed turns, but once she‘s able to move into her default blitz-jab/right cross stance, her shots are just lights-out heavy! Robyn‘s eyes brim-full with confidence – she brushes away Righetti‘s nibblin‘, pawin‘ belly jabs, sets her feet into position, flashes her short left, right counter hooks as she hunts for ‘Manda‘s head!
Down the stretch – Righetti *brave*, swapping trade against Robyn‘s firepower in first pocket battle of the night!
Righetti shoulder-cycles the jab, drives it to Lawley‘s sternum/biceps again n‘ again, looking for a prize in Robyn‘s guard, as right hand‘s clutched tight at cheek for defense – Robyn drops the lefty hammer off her high guard, belting a tremor upside redhead‘s temple! Righetti simply puzzled at Lawley‘s abrupt power display despite forcing so much hurt with her own jab – she‘s immediately taking a backpedal, as sturdy legs suddenly give way in delayed reaction! Lawley‘s eyes go wide, rolling into pursuit – right hand piledrivers crash snug under Righetti‘s heart!
Amanda‘s flapped against the ropes, face-in-gloves, absorbing Robyn‘s crude, withering body shots – it‘s just jabs, right hands, jabs, right hands, as Lawley‘s drillin‘ and stackin‘ up the hurt! Righetti rolls forward into a dazed clinch, forcing a ref‘s break around Lawley‘s wide hips, struggling to even fight Robyn‘s weight into standstill!
“I‘m scared of Robyn‘s brawn, Ali“ Jenny O‘Dell croons. “I‘m sure Righetti can handle it,“ Ali nods in optimism.
R3: Righetti simply not a coy, sheepish kind of fighter – redhead‘s not trying to just leg away from Robyn, but set the pace, hurt her girl, make Lawley feel the power! ‘Manda‘s stance‘s flat-footed, but in a leggy, whippy way – she‘s adamant to get into range, jabbing her trademark iron-hard to Lawley‘s chest, drawing groans, tremors from the big girl in early trade! Robyn‘s eyes show an offended gaze – she‘s taking abuse! Righetti‘s jab-hard approach pays off in style – she finds Lawley‘s jugs, solar plexus, as Robyn‘s drawing wide, spherical left, right haymakers from her high guard in vain attempts to catch a mobile Righetti‘s head flat n‘ flush. Righetti‘s terrier set-up a sight to behold – head low, all-small against Lawley‘s tall, aloof stance, she‘s pitching rips, pokes to the Aussie‘s mid/jugs!
Righetti‘s relentless jabs to the jugline freeze Robyn stiff a minute in, as action slides mid-ring to ropes – right hand off the jab, Amanda! Righetti cashes in, as Robyn‘s vulnerable, senses wilt in Aussie guard: right hand steers a slap-bang sledge to Robyn‘s jaw – big girl‘s legs turn doughy in an instant! Righetti takes Robyn‘s clinch-grab attempt, sets her hips strongly once girls lock up, simply *bulls* the bigger girl ropeward with steely-eyed ease – what a sight!
Mid-round, blunt, stunning force‘s applied to Robyn, head n‘ shoulders, head n‘ shoulders – Righetti pushes in with the left hand against Robyn‘s arm/biceps/shoulder, rubs her head under Lawley‘s chin, secures her for more sweaty punishment, as Aussie‘s unsuccessfully lookin‘ to turn, twist out of the siege! A ref‘s break has girls back in range a bit later – Lawley‘s taking steps out forward, her hands low, steering Righetti off via the jab push to redhead‘s shoulder, neck, cleavage. Righetti rollin‘-with, chippin‘ a left on Lawley‘s mouth – Robyn‘s stunned, her lips parted, weight a-hover in mid-air! ‘Manda pulps a hard left into the zone between Robyn‘s breasts, flashing her girl upright – short right‘s put on Lawley‘s chin with a whistle!
ROBYN TAKES THE FRIGGIN‘ CRAAAAASSHH!
Lawley a loose, helpless beauty – takes a splash onto her knees, all hardness vanished from her body. Aussie tilts from knees to her side, as pretty eyelashes bat, bat, bat in knockout swoon – she‘s all wonky, loose-limbed, ref!
Jenny McCarthy in the front row – barred from corner, purportedly at Lawley's request, as Palicki‘s considered the calmer voice and has a lot of experience fighting Righetti, and also will not be drinking with McGee as Jenny doubtless would be during the actual fight – screaming at Lawley, “GET UP, YOU BUM! DON'T YOU PUNK! DON'T YOU DARE PUNK!“
Robyn groans, fights back onto her knees n‘ haunches as survival instincts kick in, legs firm a bit during the count – big Aussie struggles to her feet at 8! The champ‘s a devastated sight, as Amanda sports a wide, confident grin, waved back into the action as ref‘s optimistic about Robyn‘s fate – this battle for the title ain‘t done yet!
Robyn fighting battles of retreat, survival throughout final minute rundown!
Lawley‘s giant reach‘s no small help – long, spearing autopilot jab‘s able to hold Righetti off for half a minute, before quick whip of tummy hook‘s finally buckles Robyn‘s stance, drives her ropeward again! The champ takes a hunker down at the ropes, protects her skull, leans back n‘ forth on the spot as Righetti‘s all over her, belting the goods to n‘ fro, pushin‘, stackin‘, swattin‘ her girl, as Robyn‘s getting more rigid upon every slug – Lawley‘s fighting engine in smoldering daze at the bell!
“I think you could have well argued that the ref should have stopped this fight here n‘ now – I think Robyn was out on her feet,“ Ali says fretfully. “Yeah, he could have, Ali,“ Jenny smiles. “But he didn‘t – and Righetti‘s going to regret not finishing Robyn this round, I think!“
R4: Lawley‘s fit to fight, if you had doubts – her step‘s a little ginger, her pretty face *pinched* as tummy‘s pink with hurt, but she‘s still a tall, leggy, physical phenom, much to Righetti‘s chagrin.
Simple physics come to Robyn‘s rescue in the fourth – she‘s out with a wide stance, pumping a heavy stick to deny Righetti repeated access into range to finish. Classy, pivoting work around Righetti‘s hunter‘s set-up – right heel‘s up off canvas, as left hand pumps the poke, steps left around it. The propulsive force of Lawley‘s jab‘s simply a bad configuration for Righetti – she‘s taking shunts to her torso/shoulder, gets shifted off her balance on repeat, only slowly negotiates her way forward. ‘Manda visibly vexed/annoyed, as she‘s forced to pedal away from Robyn‘s thrust in pivot after pivot, take long, wide circles to rebuild her offense. Robyn‘s still not as fast, stable as she was at the fight‘s get-go, but her left hand‘s a weapon by default – she‘s taking slicks n‘ spruces up Righetti‘s pretty face, swatting the body, jabbing the pecs/lats to good thump effect!
Final minute‘s advance – Righetti‘s slowly starting to intrude Lawley‘s range...
She‘s paying a price for it – usually takes her a BASH (or two) upside the head or upon her shoulder/neck to get there, but she‘s had a spunky, gutsy mindset all night long! Robyn being tall, aloof – Righetti‘s lookin‘ to snap n‘ snatch at her, throwing short, furious hooks/uppercuts from that ultra-tight, low config! Lawley not lookin‘ as strong or beefy inside these battle set-ups as she should be given her size, weight – Righetti‘s able to muscle up, clipping close, tight uppercuts at Aussie‘s chin, using sly, subtle angles to hurt Robyn to the body, as Robyn‘s mostly passive n‘ takin‘!
Down the stretch, Lawley‘s legs give way!
Robyn‘s stance broken as a result of Righetti‘s steady stalk pressure, mar a good comeback round for Aussie , *stagger* her ropeward, as constant jostlin‘, grindin‘ adds up on last round‘s knockdown shock – she‘s draped across the ropes at the bell, looking big n‘ hapless as small, nimble Righetti‘s swooshin‘ to n‘ fro across her front, workin‘ her thing.
“Righetti‘s cut Robyn down to size,“ Ali reaffirms during the break. “She handles her size *extremely* well – this is smart boxing, Jenny!“ – “I hear you, Ali,“ Jenny counters. “Thing is – I still think Red‘s gotta get the finish soon or she‘ll start to look a lot more vulnerable when this fight hits the home stretch!“
R5: No more rangy control for Lawley this round as she‘s strong-armed right from the get-go – she‘s starting to break down a little under Righetti‘s relentless tempo surge! First trade‘s a scare for the champ – ‘Manda beats her for blunt lil‘ right hand on the mouth, as Robyn‘s own righty hammer soars off Amanda‘s neck! That‘s the signal for redhead pounce – short left hook sneaks up Lawley‘s right eye! Right hand takes a clap up Aussie‘s ear! Shoulder bump against Lawley‘s torso! Savage right hand chop just beneath the breasts! A salvo of body, head shots leaves Robyn gaspin‘, mouth-breathin‘ – she‘s back-pedalling, her torso thrown into *wild* backward tilt, as her eyes take a turn for the sleepy! Righetti stalkin‘ the champ with snarls, aggressive lil‘ growls – she‘s all over her!
A minute in, action‘s all near/at ropes – Righetti‘s startin‘ to get easy n‘ smooth, as Lawley‘s just takin‘, takin‘!
Amanda‘s stance changes a bit – she‘s more tall/upright, *stabbing* straight lefts n‘ rights directly from her shoulders, staying in front of Robyn‘s frame, bringing her full force behind the shots to target Aussie‘s biceps/arms/guard. Lawley‘s lumped up n‘ slumpin‘ against the ropes, giving up her height – but she‘s still alert, defending properly, rollin‘ a shoulder here n‘ there, slippin‘ a shot, takin‘ the occasional lick at Righetti‘s ribcage. Righetti *feels* it, but won‘t be unseated – she‘s adamant to keep Robyn ropeward, using lil‘ backhand thrusts to get her foe into position. There‘s the pump, pump from Righetti‘s left arm as she‘s fixing to throw clean rights – Robyn takes CLOBBERS upside the head/ear, throwing her into jolts, tremors!
Down the stretch – Robyn a ramshackle beauty, taking long circles of staggers around the ring!
J-Mac offers the following sage advice, “Fight back, you big dummy!“
Lawley mulishly strong, perhaps a lil‘ too stubborn, proud – she ain‘t lookin‘ to clinch/tie-up, prefering to take the shot, switch into counter position so she can drop a BIG right to keep Righetti well-spooked n‘ alert during her stalk-outs! ‘Manda lookin‘ to raven her girl, get physical, show her force – she will drive Robyn‘s hunched frame against the ropes again n‘ again, pin her for ref‘s breaks, slowly log off Aussie‘s physical reserves.
“That‘s a lot of trust Robyn‘ puttin‘ into those legs of hers,“ Jenny sighs. “I think she‘s starting to break down, Jen,“ Ali chirps. “There‘s only so many Righetti shots you can take in a fight before your body quits, right?“
R6: Robyn a little more energized in early trade – she gets a jab out, pushes back some of Righetti‘s rushes.
Lawley finally frees up her tall, aloof stance a little, gets into the trenches against ‘Manda‘s furious work – she‘s more loose n‘ nimble, rolls a shoulder, drops a hip, takes slips to the left n‘ right. Righetti a wild-eyed beauty, senses Robyn‘s defiant mood, doesn‘t like the look of it – Amanda lets the right hand *flash*, looking to nip Lawley‘s fresh, brazen sass right in the bud! Robyn‘s stepping back in good, leggy order, as Righetti‘s rushin‘, tossin‘ to stay in control – Lawley using ropin‘, whippin‘ lefts, rights to the ribs/flanks that slow redhead‘s advances, hunch her forward. Robyn rises – *slops* a big haymaker left upside Righetti‘s ear/temple, puts a mighty buzz into Amanda‘s sturdy legs! Righetti turning away late n‘ sloppy – chomps Robyn‘s potshot right on her chin! Crowd‘s ape-sh*t *wild* as redhead‘s legs take a flirty bend, torso a-slosh on her hips – but shot‘s not yet the all-mighty crush Lawley‘s lookin‘ to trigger!
Second, third minute – Righetti‘s set to restore her order!
Jab‘s key to her control – she‘s still able to *rifle* it to Lawley‘s chest/ribcage, quickly turning Robyn‘s energy surge back into lax, slothful step-outs. Sluggish, phlegmatic‘s just the kind of look Righetti‘s hopin‘ to get from Lawley – sap her energy, frustrate her, back her up against the ropes, turn her passive! Strategy‘s still fine – Amanda‘s stick-n‘-move‘s working well, as she re-establishes that rummagin‘ left hand in Lawley‘s gut/tits, draws short, clean right hands upon Robyn‘s guard/head/ears, before taking the safe, leggy exit-pivot. Robyn snarlin‘ in pursuit, still loadin‘ up on right hands from any position, but can‘t find this round‘s early groove back, turning into that big, immobile tanker again – Righetti‘s quick, classy hands back in control at the bell, leaves Robyn breathin‘ hard!
“Did you see Robyn‘s right hand, Ali?“, Jenny prompts. “That was an uh-oh moment for Righetti – I‘m a little scared for your girl, Ali!“ – “Sure, Jenny, if Amanda had a glass chin!“, Ali banters. “But she doesn‘t, duh!“
R7: Righetti in scrutiny of Lawley‘s remaining reserves, reactions, resistance early – redhead jab-jabs her way inside, edges a sturdy left shoulder on Lawley‘s chest, challenges her girl for tasty bump n‘ slug upon the apron, hopin‘ to apply finishing touches on soft-lookin‘, vulnerable champ!
Robyn groans, blinks, then leans her body against Righetti‘s tighter, shorter frame, welcoming her for the slug n‘ swat – girls take gentle back n‘ forth pivots along the cables, but always stay in tight contact, just rubbin‘, jostlin‘ for leverage, rhythm! Lawley‘s wide back‘s against the ropes most of the time, struggling to unseat Righetti‘s nimbler torso – both girl takin‘ PLENTY of hits during this big-girl‘s set-up, but Righetti‘s more effective, more *violent*! Redhead uses the nip n‘ tuck to pull down Lawley‘s wrists, so she can bury short, shrugged right hands against Robyn‘s jaw n‘ cheek, belting the bigger girl to n‘ fro! Robyn lookin‘ a numbed, stolid girl – heavvvyy right hands land against her jugline/pecs, drove her more n‘ more skewed into the ropes, as crowd‘s starting to SQUEAL in alarm!
A minute in – Robyn rolls with a shot, dips her right shoulder, draws *rude*, wide left hook beneath Amanda‘s breasts!
Righetti workin‘ it, suddenly gaspin‘ out loud for breath – she tilts forward slightly, stoppin‘ her punch as pretty face‘s outraged, cranked into grimace of hurt! Robyn steps out, stays low n‘ bendy – just tears *another* piece of mayhem across Righetti‘s solarplexus! And another! Amanda‘s thrown into stutter-steps, finally wakin‘ up to pedal to the back/right, curving up to protect herself, elbows clutched. Robyn rises – drops a right hand chop upside Amanda‘s unprotected left ear! Righetti bends to her right with the blow, her sturdy legs all thrown into see-saw right there on the spot! Righetti raisin‘ her arms, blockin‘ Robyn‘s next wallop – she‘s taking the shots in dazed shape, blinkin‘ in shock!
Down the stretch – Righetti wilts against the ropes!
Robyn‘s not being cute, leggy, strategic at this point of the battle – this is just what‘s left of her natural brawn!
Monster jabs stuffed against redhead‘s shoulder/guard, sloppy left n‘ right hands swept across both of her flanks, her body thrown into jolts – now add some rigid, *bashing* strokes upside Amanda‘s ear/temple! Righetti takin‘ tip-toes along the cables, unsure whether to absorb further or take a step into Robyn‘s mighty embrace – Robyn‘s leaving her stunned n‘ shaky, lips parted, at the bell!
“That‘s what makes Robyn so freakin‘ dangerous,“ Jennifer marvels. “She was gettin‘ pounded at the ropes, punched all-sleepy by Amanda‘s power – but she‘s just needed that one body shot to leave Righetti spellbound!“ – “Not sure Amanda‘s got enough energy left now to mount another offensive,“ Ali admits. “Robyn looked all but ready to go out – that body shot‘s just been SO devastating for Righetti! I don‘t see any other woman in the FCBA throwing that punch in that situation, I really don‘t! But Righetti‘s lead on the card‘s still sizable!“
R8: Lawley‘s tired, but wide-eyed, stepping to her girl early – she‘s roping in ‘Manda‘s shoulders/flanks with short, stiff-ish clubs from close range, numbing Righetti‘s strengths with shock n‘ awe power! Redhead covered up, taking the sock – she‘s looking miserable, frustrated as she‘s all-hunched in behind her gloves! Lawley‘s spanks have Amanda gaspin‘, grimacin‘, partin‘ her lips – Righetti‘s guard‘s still rigid, her legs a stronghold, but redhead‘s mighty thighs tremble under the pressure! Miss ‘Manda finally leggin‘ it, taking backward step-outs from Lawley‘s work, as Robyn‘s shock jars her arms, leaving mighty Amanda shakin‘, stirred up by all the blasts! Might be the first time Robyn‘s conquered back crucial mid-ring ground from Righetti since early in the fight – she‘s got her redhead challenger takin‘ spurts, pedals for more territory.
A minute in, Amanda‘s still low n‘ leggy, but no longer as dangerous, efficient – she touches Lawley up via the odd, stooped tummy jab, maybe slops a right hand to the cheek/ear as Robyn steps-to, stalks.
Lawley‘s able to up her tempo a notch, make the ring small n‘ tight for a still-mobile Righetti – plus, Robyn‘s high-revving the uppercuts! There‘s that wide, six-footer‘s reach from the Aussie – duo of long-jabs spits at Amanda‘s mid-riff, pounds her ribs a thump! Lawley eases weight on her front foot, just lets the left cork it home – smoothens Righetti‘s jugs with mammoth body uppercut! Robyn‘s right hand comes a-loopin‘, crashes upside ‘Manda‘s left temple – Righetti‘s stunned, slumps against the ropes in dazed freeze!
Lawley‘s shots heavy, lustful– she‘s SHELLING Righetti at the ropes upon the head n‘ shoulders, head n‘ shoulders!
Righetti‘s hurt, her eyes a dizzy, rapid blink, taking a hunker down against the ropes, her gloves clutched at either side of skull – she‘s still able to bend at the waist, dip her torso left, right, roll with the shots, snuggle up around Robyn‘s mighty wide middle, force a wonky ref‘s break. Pace‘s still fast n‘ furious, as girls trade right hands high n‘ low, taking ducks n‘ dips to survive the mayhem – this time Robyn‘s broad, wide frame‘s firmly placed on top, as Aussie plants her feet, shoots ‘em sturdy! Lawley‘s body hooks snatchin‘, snipin‘ at Righetti‘s trunkline, stoop redhead forward off the ropes – she‘s beating her flat n‘ thick about the body…mid-riff, arms, head! Mid-riff, arms, head! Mid-riff, arms, head!
RIGHETTI SPILLS TO THE CANVAS!
Not a single punch‘s effect, but the cumulative damage‘s too much for proud Righetti‘s mighty thighs – she steps out with a groan, spills forward onto her hands, knees – she‘s all tingly n‘ trembly n‘ huuuuurrrrt silly!
Lawley raises an arm, steps out back with a tired grin, as ref quickly wedges in between – he‘s counting Amanda out! Redhead shows a grim, defiant, head-shaking smile at “3“, but she‘s still on her hands n‘ knees – she bulls her way forward, gets a knee up, seemin‘ shaky at “5“. The challenger groans, rises up at “7“, spills forward into the ropes as thighs still seem wobbled – Righetti turns, stabilizes, locks her shiny eyes with the ref‘s, nods, nods again. Ref orders her off the ropes, tests her stability – REF RULES HER GOOD TO GO AT “9“!
Righetti a shopworn beauty, but she‘s still forming her stance, gets her guard in order, takes a leggy step-out, pawing at Robyn‘s chest with a sly jab, pawin‘, pokin‘ it, as Robyn‘s taking on her pursuit via those long-range steps – she‘s greedy for more Big Red! ‘Manda‘s trying to take a series of leggy cycles, create some range, distance, but it‘s no go – Lawley‘s mighty splash‘s quickly got her ropeside again! Righetti‘s sturdy frame‘s slowly losing its rigor, as she‘s just takin‘ belts, clobbers upside the head! Right hand upon the ear! Left hand to redhead‘s right breast! Short right hand triggered off Robyn‘s front foot – splits Righetti‘s mitts, corks up her jaw, sends Amanda‘s head past the top rope in a gigantic jolt! Righetti simply draped against the cables, her guard a-tremble, her pretty eyes a dazed mixture of steely n‘ sleepy, waiting for Robyn‘s next blast – THE REF STEPS IN, cradling Righetti to safety!
Robyn‘s shoved away by stern-eyed ref...she yelps, *squeals* in triumph, as redhead‘s still dazed n‘ confused in the ref‘s embrace, mumbling a drowsy protest – Aussie‘s STILL the world‘s welterweight champion, turning back her mighty challenger with a TKO8, Robyn “Godzilla“ Lawley!
After: Robyn Lawley‘s on top of the world – she‘s just crowned her amazing 2022 with a determined finish against Sceej‘s long-time nemesis, Big Red herself! Look at Amanda – her face‘s a battered mess, but her eyes are steely, defiant as she‘s leaning softly, rickety against the ref‘s embrace, struggling to argue his stoppage. Robyn taking well-earned congrats from Scrubby McGee, Adrianne Palicki, Jenny McCarthy, Gena Lee Nolin – it‘s a redemptive triumph after all the hurt Righetti‘s dished out on Sceej girls during the years.
Righetti‘s being a little recalcitrant during her post-fight interview, not really bowing to Lawley‘s superiority tonight – “The ref‘s the ref, I get it, but I wasn‘t helpless, guys! At the end, this one‘s on me, no doubt, though – I should have finished the job when I was on top! All in all, I‘ve got no reason to be scared of Robyn‘s size in the ring – next time that tower‘s staying down on the canvas, I promise!“
Last words go to Ali, Jennifer…
“This is bitter for Righetti,“ Ali sighs. “She‘s had Lawley on the ropes, just like she‘s had Kate Upton on the ropes – she‘ll be looking to actually *finish* these girls in 2023!“
“Robyn‘s win‘s just momentous,“ Jennifer assesses. “She‘s the most dominant champ we‘ve seen in a while. Taking out Hannah, Kate and Amanda‘s probably one of the best back-to-back performances we‘ve ever seen at welter. She‘s just *un-freakin‘-disputed* right now!“
AMANDA RIGHETTI (39 y/o, 5 ft 8, W: 125, L: 34) vs ROBYN LAWLEY (Welterweight Champion) (33 y/o, 6 ft 2, W: 31, L: 13)
Results: Lookout!, Write-up: Bonzo, with Scrubby McGee & Jenny Mac Appearances by Sceej!
Before: Robyn Lawley‘s this year‘s welter breakout star – the statuesque model‘s always seemed destined for big-girl stardom at her size, but she‘s suffered mediocre years and once lost nine fights in a row. No sign‘s left of that tenuous, shaky fighter this year – Lawley‘s already won the Diamond Boxing tourney and she‘s on incredible 17-fight winning streak! During her current title run, she‘s left a heap of welter girls in ruin – including shock n‘ awe knockouts of Hannah Ferguson and Kate Upton, two of the league‘s biggest stars.
“I‘m simply teaching welter girls what fear is,“ Robyn smiles when asked about her rampage. “But you know there‘s one job left, right? And it‘s Amanda! I‘m just one knockout away from ruling *all* of welter with an iron fist – and I won‘t be denied tonight! Once I take out Amanda, I‘m the most dominant woman in boxing!“
“Well, I guess you could say Robyn‘s a big girl,“ Amanda laughs. “Her size will definitely be a puzzle for me to solve, but I‘m confident I‘ll do just that! I can certainly promise you I will make the ring a much more miserable place for Robyn than either Kate or Hannah managed – that‘s for sure!“
Press manages to get commentary from legendary trainer, Scrubby McGee, on his welterweight champion: “Well, da' fact is I ain't sure what I got in big Robbie. She's made a lotta progress wince we got her here ... well, hell, she's champ, ain't she? But I been aroun' dis racket a long time - carried da bucket when Sinatra brought Loren over ta' fight Monroe ... I was just a kid, den ... an' I seen em come and I seen em go. Always said da best big goil I ever saw was Lynda Carter ... den dat Theron goil had me t'inkin maybe it was her? Den dis Righetti shows up ... and she's done t'ings I never seen! What - twenty straight title defenses? An' she always fought dat best - she damn near killed our Addie! Dat fight when Addie finally took her title? Woist job I ever did in a corner - woist!!! Shoul'da never let Addie come out for dat ninth round! Gena's fought Rig t'ree times - now Gena was past her prime, mind you ... but she never got past da toid round!“
“Well now we got Robbie an' like I said I ain't sure what we got exackly - but I do know dis - she's da strongest goil I ever seen lace up gloves! No question! Now ... don't make her da' hardest puncher .. not yet anyway. Hell, Addie hits harder den Robbie. But infightin? Clinch? Her strength is like nuthin' I evah seen. And she takes a punch! An' she's beat evryone dey tru at her ... but now she's got da redhead! So we're gonna see what we got!“
Also present (and even though no one asked!) is Jenny McCarthy, who offers her "insight': “Godzilla's gonna eat her alive! First round knockout! Print that! And remember Jenny Mac's the one who called it!“
FCBA legends Ali Landry and Jennifer O‘Dell will once again offer their expert analysis about the battle before, during and after the fight...
“Amanda‘s got experience handling bigger girls well,“ Ali asserts. “She‘s dominated Karlie Kloss after an early hiccup and she‘s pounded Iskra Lawrence to sleep and that girl had real friggin‘ heft!“
“Sure, Ali,“ Jennifer says. “But Karlie ain‘t got Robyn‘s hardness – that freight train of a physique. And Iskra‘s middleweight big, but she‘s Amanda‘s height – that‘s a totally different equation! No, I think Righetti‘s going to get *battered* in this fight. And no, it won‘t be her fault one bit – she‘ll just go tumbling down like Hannah and Kate did, because this fight just isn‘t on their racket! It‘ll change nothing about Righetti‘s legend, but it will mean there‘s a new sheriff in welter town!“
“I‘m curious, Jenny,“ Ali asks. “Does this mean you think Robyn‘s *never* going to lose a match in the FCBA ring again, like, at all?“
“That‘s not what I‘m saying,“ Jenny smiles. “Remember the last girl who blasted out a division *purely* because of her size? Yeah, that was Kristanna Loken! Until girls found out Kris didn‘t like being backed up against the ropes, and had a glassy lil‘ chin! Not saying that‘ll happen to Lawley, but girls need to find SOME chink in her armour, and until they do, they‘re just lining up to go to sleep at her feet.“
“I think we only need to look at Robyn‘s past to find that chink,“ Ali says. “She‘s always had size, of course, and she‘s polished her technique quite a bit. But most importantly – she‘s so freakin‘ CONFIDENT right now! Without that confidence, she‘s just a big, sluggish, slow-moving kind of fighter – I think once Amanda‘s able to make her passive, let some doubt creep into her game, we‘ll see Amanda punishing Robyn at the ropes, like she always does!“
Predictions, girls?
“I think Amanda will hold up well on the cards,“ Jenny says. “She‘ll come out a-stormin‘, stay quick and aggressive for a while, and get a serious knockdown in the first half, but she‘ll get tired before Robyn does, and Robyn‘s right hand finishes her off – possibly out of nowhere – in the eight or ninth!“
“Righetti‘s going to take damage tonight, no doubt,“ Ali counters. “But her stamina‘s always ready to save her and I think she‘ll still be up n‘ running in the tenth! Right hands will fly late and Robyn‘s going to take that nap and her reign will be OVER!“
Fight: R1: Righetti storms out like a small terrier against Robyn‘s big-girl prey – the hunt is on!
Amanda takes charge mid-ring immediately, spooking Robyn‘s entry with a hiss of lead right hands, as Lawley‘s still slowly stepping into her game! A leggy speed spurt sets up Righetti‘s dip, step n‘ rip-it attack – a smooth, rolling uppercut claws across Robyn‘s teeth/mouth, drawing a leggy falter from six-foot-two blonde seconds into the fight! Righetti snarls, nimble-steps right as Lawley chops back an angry right – ‘Manda takes the dip, chucks a body jab to Robyn‘s toned tummy, making Aussie‘s right hand sail out wide to sea! Lawley shows early blinks, moves a little slow, a little sluggish as she‘s motoring to the right, trying to set her feet proper, establish her bigness in the ring – Righetti settles into a leggy, supple prowl, staying well out of Robyn‘s right hand‘s detonation zone.
A minute in, Robyn‘s trying to entrench a forward jab, set up that feared full-bodied right hand blast – she‘s clearly bothered by Righetti‘s madly leggy tacks n‘ turns, but pure aggression‘s not the proper answer!
Righetti waits her turn, getting a good grasp of Lawley‘s reach, range early on – she‘s all-springy on her feet, her arms danglin‘, keepin‘ her her head in little tick-tock motions to stay elusive. Amanda‘s body jab a wicked punch for big Robyn – redhead‘s able to potshot it to Lawley‘s mid-riff, and she‘s out to step-right in a circle before Aussie‘s able to answer! Robyn stiffens a bit in the process, clutching her elbows at the tummy – she‘s tense, flinching once she senses Righetti‘s body hook kick! ‘Manda shows the jab, brings the right hand instead – it‘s a tidy SWIPE of a shot across Robyn‘s mouth/jaw! Lawley‘s broad, wide back tilting baaaaaaaccck dangerously at first, as redhead power spreads through her system – she‘s mitts-at-temples, rigid, hurt whack! Righetti snarls, tugs away to Robyn‘s ribs, flanks – finally secures her in sweaty embrace at the ropes for ref‘s break!
Down the stretch – Righetti keeps nibblin‘ away at Robyn‘s strengths (targets her to the tummy/lats/tits), taking scoots out left n‘ right in fast turns, her strong back muscles tense under the work! Robyn‘s being sullen, slow, still trudging through the hurt in pursuit of a jab, right hand opportunity – can‘t match Righetti‘s leggy ferocity in first round!
“Righetti‘s bringing her A-game, no doubt,“ Ali Landry concludes with an upbeat smile during the break. “She‘s doing exactly what she needs to be doing to fell that tower!“
R2: Robyn‘s pure, *freakish* power reveals the danger for Righetti‘s well-being tonight in early trade of jabs, crosses mid-ring – the jab itself‘s already a wallop against Righetti‘s shoulders/chest/arms, making it almost impossible for sturdy Amanda to hold her stance falter-free once the connect‘s real! Righetti blinks a confused beauty, stays set for a nanosecond late, eats up Robyn‘s right for the first time, hit on her ear – and it‘s a blast good God! Righetti groans, her torso rocked upright, eyes a-daze, her sturdy frame suddenly ginger – redhead‘s wondrous legs kick in, allowing her to roam backward a slide, but Righetti‘s early leggy command‘s obliviated in one ramrod assault of right hand hurt!
Lawley finding her feet a minute and a half in – it‘s still a slow, flat-footed trudge set against Righetti‘s speed turns, but once she‘s able to move into her default blitz-jab/right cross stance, her shots are just lights-out heavy! Robyn‘s eyes brim-full with confidence – she brushes away Righetti‘s nibblin‘, pawin‘ belly jabs, sets her feet into position, flashes her short left, right counter hooks as she hunts for ‘Manda‘s head!
Down the stretch – Righetti *brave*, swapping trade against Robyn‘s firepower in first pocket battle of the night!
Righetti shoulder-cycles the jab, drives it to Lawley‘s sternum/biceps again n‘ again, looking for a prize in Robyn‘s guard, as right hand‘s clutched tight at cheek for defense – Robyn drops the lefty hammer off her high guard, belting a tremor upside redhead‘s temple! Righetti simply puzzled at Lawley‘s abrupt power display despite forcing so much hurt with her own jab – she‘s immediately taking a backpedal, as sturdy legs suddenly give way in delayed reaction! Lawley‘s eyes go wide, rolling into pursuit – right hand piledrivers crash snug under Righetti‘s heart!
Amanda‘s flapped against the ropes, face-in-gloves, absorbing Robyn‘s crude, withering body shots – it‘s just jabs, right hands, jabs, right hands, as Lawley‘s drillin‘ and stackin‘ up the hurt! Righetti rolls forward into a dazed clinch, forcing a ref‘s break around Lawley‘s wide hips, struggling to even fight Robyn‘s weight into standstill!
“I‘m scared of Robyn‘s brawn, Ali“ Jenny O‘Dell croons. “I‘m sure Righetti can handle it,“ Ali nods in optimism.
R3: Righetti simply not a coy, sheepish kind of fighter – redhead‘s not trying to just leg away from Robyn, but set the pace, hurt her girl, make Lawley feel the power! ‘Manda‘s stance‘s flat-footed, but in a leggy, whippy way – she‘s adamant to get into range, jabbing her trademark iron-hard to Lawley‘s chest, drawing groans, tremors from the big girl in early trade! Robyn‘s eyes show an offended gaze – she‘s taking abuse! Righetti‘s jab-hard approach pays off in style – she finds Lawley‘s jugs, solar plexus, as Robyn‘s drawing wide, spherical left, right haymakers from her high guard in vain attempts to catch a mobile Righetti‘s head flat n‘ flush. Righetti‘s terrier set-up a sight to behold – head low, all-small against Lawley‘s tall, aloof stance, she‘s pitching rips, pokes to the Aussie‘s mid/jugs!
Righetti‘s relentless jabs to the jugline freeze Robyn stiff a minute in, as action slides mid-ring to ropes – right hand off the jab, Amanda! Righetti cashes in, as Robyn‘s vulnerable, senses wilt in Aussie guard: right hand steers a slap-bang sledge to Robyn‘s jaw – big girl‘s legs turn doughy in an instant! Righetti takes Robyn‘s clinch-grab attempt, sets her hips strongly once girls lock up, simply *bulls* the bigger girl ropeward with steely-eyed ease – what a sight!
Mid-round, blunt, stunning force‘s applied to Robyn, head n‘ shoulders, head n‘ shoulders – Righetti pushes in with the left hand against Robyn‘s arm/biceps/shoulder, rubs her head under Lawley‘s chin, secures her for more sweaty punishment, as Aussie‘s unsuccessfully lookin‘ to turn, twist out of the siege! A ref‘s break has girls back in range a bit later – Lawley‘s taking steps out forward, her hands low, steering Righetti off via the jab push to redhead‘s shoulder, neck, cleavage. Righetti rollin‘-with, chippin‘ a left on Lawley‘s mouth – Robyn‘s stunned, her lips parted, weight a-hover in mid-air! ‘Manda pulps a hard left into the zone between Robyn‘s breasts, flashing her girl upright – short right‘s put on Lawley‘s chin with a whistle!
ROBYN TAKES THE FRIGGIN‘ CRAAAAASSHH!
Lawley a loose, helpless beauty – takes a splash onto her knees, all hardness vanished from her body. Aussie tilts from knees to her side, as pretty eyelashes bat, bat, bat in knockout swoon – she‘s all wonky, loose-limbed, ref!
Jenny McCarthy in the front row – barred from corner, purportedly at Lawley's request, as Palicki‘s considered the calmer voice and has a lot of experience fighting Righetti, and also will not be drinking with McGee as Jenny doubtless would be during the actual fight – screaming at Lawley, “GET UP, YOU BUM! DON'T YOU PUNK! DON'T YOU DARE PUNK!“
Robyn groans, fights back onto her knees n‘ haunches as survival instincts kick in, legs firm a bit during the count – big Aussie struggles to her feet at 8! The champ‘s a devastated sight, as Amanda sports a wide, confident grin, waved back into the action as ref‘s optimistic about Robyn‘s fate – this battle for the title ain‘t done yet!
Robyn fighting battles of retreat, survival throughout final minute rundown!
Lawley‘s giant reach‘s no small help – long, spearing autopilot jab‘s able to hold Righetti off for half a minute, before quick whip of tummy hook‘s finally buckles Robyn‘s stance, drives her ropeward again! The champ takes a hunker down at the ropes, protects her skull, leans back n‘ forth on the spot as Righetti‘s all over her, belting the goods to n‘ fro, pushin‘, stackin‘, swattin‘ her girl, as Robyn‘s getting more rigid upon every slug – Lawley‘s fighting engine in smoldering daze at the bell!
“I think you could have well argued that the ref should have stopped this fight here n‘ now – I think Robyn was out on her feet,“ Ali says fretfully. “Yeah, he could have, Ali,“ Jenny smiles. “But he didn‘t – and Righetti‘s going to regret not finishing Robyn this round, I think!“
R4: Lawley‘s fit to fight, if you had doubts – her step‘s a little ginger, her pretty face *pinched* as tummy‘s pink with hurt, but she‘s still a tall, leggy, physical phenom, much to Righetti‘s chagrin.
Simple physics come to Robyn‘s rescue in the fourth – she‘s out with a wide stance, pumping a heavy stick to deny Righetti repeated access into range to finish. Classy, pivoting work around Righetti‘s hunter‘s set-up – right heel‘s up off canvas, as left hand pumps the poke, steps left around it. The propulsive force of Lawley‘s jab‘s simply a bad configuration for Righetti – she‘s taking shunts to her torso/shoulder, gets shifted off her balance on repeat, only slowly negotiates her way forward. ‘Manda visibly vexed/annoyed, as she‘s forced to pedal away from Robyn‘s thrust in pivot after pivot, take long, wide circles to rebuild her offense. Robyn‘s still not as fast, stable as she was at the fight‘s get-go, but her left hand‘s a weapon by default – she‘s taking slicks n‘ spruces up Righetti‘s pretty face, swatting the body, jabbing the pecs/lats to good thump effect!
Final minute‘s advance – Righetti‘s slowly starting to intrude Lawley‘s range...
She‘s paying a price for it – usually takes her a BASH (or two) upside the head or upon her shoulder/neck to get there, but she‘s had a spunky, gutsy mindset all night long! Robyn being tall, aloof – Righetti‘s lookin‘ to snap n‘ snatch at her, throwing short, furious hooks/uppercuts from that ultra-tight, low config! Lawley not lookin‘ as strong or beefy inside these battle set-ups as she should be given her size, weight – Righetti‘s able to muscle up, clipping close, tight uppercuts at Aussie‘s chin, using sly, subtle angles to hurt Robyn to the body, as Robyn‘s mostly passive n‘ takin‘!
Down the stretch, Lawley‘s legs give way!
Robyn‘s stance broken as a result of Righetti‘s steady stalk pressure, mar a good comeback round for Aussie , *stagger* her ropeward, as constant jostlin‘, grindin‘ adds up on last round‘s knockdown shock – she‘s draped across the ropes at the bell, looking big n‘ hapless as small, nimble Righetti‘s swooshin‘ to n‘ fro across her front, workin‘ her thing.
“Righetti‘s cut Robyn down to size,“ Ali reaffirms during the break. “She handles her size *extremely* well – this is smart boxing, Jenny!“ – “I hear you, Ali,“ Jenny counters. “Thing is – I still think Red‘s gotta get the finish soon or she‘ll start to look a lot more vulnerable when this fight hits the home stretch!“
R5: No more rangy control for Lawley this round as she‘s strong-armed right from the get-go – she‘s starting to break down a little under Righetti‘s relentless tempo surge! First trade‘s a scare for the champ – ‘Manda beats her for blunt lil‘ right hand on the mouth, as Robyn‘s own righty hammer soars off Amanda‘s neck! That‘s the signal for redhead pounce – short left hook sneaks up Lawley‘s right eye! Right hand takes a clap up Aussie‘s ear! Shoulder bump against Lawley‘s torso! Savage right hand chop just beneath the breasts! A salvo of body, head shots leaves Robyn gaspin‘, mouth-breathin‘ – she‘s back-pedalling, her torso thrown into *wild* backward tilt, as her eyes take a turn for the sleepy! Righetti stalkin‘ the champ with snarls, aggressive lil‘ growls – she‘s all over her!
A minute in, action‘s all near/at ropes – Righetti‘s startin‘ to get easy n‘ smooth, as Lawley‘s just takin‘, takin‘!
Amanda‘s stance changes a bit – she‘s more tall/upright, *stabbing* straight lefts n‘ rights directly from her shoulders, staying in front of Robyn‘s frame, bringing her full force behind the shots to target Aussie‘s biceps/arms/guard. Lawley‘s lumped up n‘ slumpin‘ against the ropes, giving up her height – but she‘s still alert, defending properly, rollin‘ a shoulder here n‘ there, slippin‘ a shot, takin‘ the occasional lick at Righetti‘s ribcage. Righetti *feels* it, but won‘t be unseated – she‘s adamant to keep Robyn ropeward, using lil‘ backhand thrusts to get her foe into position. There‘s the pump, pump from Righetti‘s left arm as she‘s fixing to throw clean rights – Robyn takes CLOBBERS upside the head/ear, throwing her into jolts, tremors!
Down the stretch – Robyn a ramshackle beauty, taking long circles of staggers around the ring!
J-Mac offers the following sage advice, “Fight back, you big dummy!“
Lawley mulishly strong, perhaps a lil‘ too stubborn, proud – she ain‘t lookin‘ to clinch/tie-up, prefering to take the shot, switch into counter position so she can drop a BIG right to keep Righetti well-spooked n‘ alert during her stalk-outs! ‘Manda lookin‘ to raven her girl, get physical, show her force – she will drive Robyn‘s hunched frame against the ropes again n‘ again, pin her for ref‘s breaks, slowly log off Aussie‘s physical reserves.
“That‘s a lot of trust Robyn‘ puttin‘ into those legs of hers,“ Jenny sighs. “I think she‘s starting to break down, Jen,“ Ali chirps. “There‘s only so many Righetti shots you can take in a fight before your body quits, right?“
R6: Robyn a little more energized in early trade – she gets a jab out, pushes back some of Righetti‘s rushes.
Lawley finally frees up her tall, aloof stance a little, gets into the trenches against ‘Manda‘s furious work – she‘s more loose n‘ nimble, rolls a shoulder, drops a hip, takes slips to the left n‘ right. Righetti a wild-eyed beauty, senses Robyn‘s defiant mood, doesn‘t like the look of it – Amanda lets the right hand *flash*, looking to nip Lawley‘s fresh, brazen sass right in the bud! Robyn‘s stepping back in good, leggy order, as Righetti‘s rushin‘, tossin‘ to stay in control – Lawley using ropin‘, whippin‘ lefts, rights to the ribs/flanks that slow redhead‘s advances, hunch her forward. Robyn rises – *slops* a big haymaker left upside Righetti‘s ear/temple, puts a mighty buzz into Amanda‘s sturdy legs! Righetti turning away late n‘ sloppy – chomps Robyn‘s potshot right on her chin! Crowd‘s ape-sh*t *wild* as redhead‘s legs take a flirty bend, torso a-slosh on her hips – but shot‘s not yet the all-mighty crush Lawley‘s lookin‘ to trigger!
Second, third minute – Righetti‘s set to restore her order!
Jab‘s key to her control – she‘s still able to *rifle* it to Lawley‘s chest/ribcage, quickly turning Robyn‘s energy surge back into lax, slothful step-outs. Sluggish, phlegmatic‘s just the kind of look Righetti‘s hopin‘ to get from Lawley – sap her energy, frustrate her, back her up against the ropes, turn her passive! Strategy‘s still fine – Amanda‘s stick-n‘-move‘s working well, as she re-establishes that rummagin‘ left hand in Lawley‘s gut/tits, draws short, clean right hands upon Robyn‘s guard/head/ears, before taking the safe, leggy exit-pivot. Robyn snarlin‘ in pursuit, still loadin‘ up on right hands from any position, but can‘t find this round‘s early groove back, turning into that big, immobile tanker again – Righetti‘s quick, classy hands back in control at the bell, leaves Robyn breathin‘ hard!
“Did you see Robyn‘s right hand, Ali?“, Jenny prompts. “That was an uh-oh moment for Righetti – I‘m a little scared for your girl, Ali!“ – “Sure, Jenny, if Amanda had a glass chin!“, Ali banters. “But she doesn‘t, duh!“
R7: Righetti in scrutiny of Lawley‘s remaining reserves, reactions, resistance early – redhead jab-jabs her way inside, edges a sturdy left shoulder on Lawley‘s chest, challenges her girl for tasty bump n‘ slug upon the apron, hopin‘ to apply finishing touches on soft-lookin‘, vulnerable champ!
Robyn groans, blinks, then leans her body against Righetti‘s tighter, shorter frame, welcoming her for the slug n‘ swat – girls take gentle back n‘ forth pivots along the cables, but always stay in tight contact, just rubbin‘, jostlin‘ for leverage, rhythm! Lawley‘s wide back‘s against the ropes most of the time, struggling to unseat Righetti‘s nimbler torso – both girl takin‘ PLENTY of hits during this big-girl‘s set-up, but Righetti‘s more effective, more *violent*! Redhead uses the nip n‘ tuck to pull down Lawley‘s wrists, so she can bury short, shrugged right hands against Robyn‘s jaw n‘ cheek, belting the bigger girl to n‘ fro! Robyn lookin‘ a numbed, stolid girl – heavvvyy right hands land against her jugline/pecs, drove her more n‘ more skewed into the ropes, as crowd‘s starting to SQUEAL in alarm!
A minute in – Robyn rolls with a shot, dips her right shoulder, draws *rude*, wide left hook beneath Amanda‘s breasts!
Righetti workin‘ it, suddenly gaspin‘ out loud for breath – she tilts forward slightly, stoppin‘ her punch as pretty face‘s outraged, cranked into grimace of hurt! Robyn steps out, stays low n‘ bendy – just tears *another* piece of mayhem across Righetti‘s solarplexus! And another! Amanda‘s thrown into stutter-steps, finally wakin‘ up to pedal to the back/right, curving up to protect herself, elbows clutched. Robyn rises – drops a right hand chop upside Amanda‘s unprotected left ear! Righetti bends to her right with the blow, her sturdy legs all thrown into see-saw right there on the spot! Righetti raisin‘ her arms, blockin‘ Robyn‘s next wallop – she‘s taking the shots in dazed shape, blinkin‘ in shock!
Down the stretch – Righetti wilts against the ropes!
Robyn‘s not being cute, leggy, strategic at this point of the battle – this is just what‘s left of her natural brawn!
Monster jabs stuffed against redhead‘s shoulder/guard, sloppy left n‘ right hands swept across both of her flanks, her body thrown into jolts – now add some rigid, *bashing* strokes upside Amanda‘s ear/temple! Righetti takin‘ tip-toes along the cables, unsure whether to absorb further or take a step into Robyn‘s mighty embrace – Robyn‘s leaving her stunned n‘ shaky, lips parted, at the bell!
“That‘s what makes Robyn so freakin‘ dangerous,“ Jennifer marvels. “She was gettin‘ pounded at the ropes, punched all-sleepy by Amanda‘s power – but she‘s just needed that one body shot to leave Righetti spellbound!“ – “Not sure Amanda‘s got enough energy left now to mount another offensive,“ Ali admits. “Robyn looked all but ready to go out – that body shot‘s just been SO devastating for Righetti! I don‘t see any other woman in the FCBA throwing that punch in that situation, I really don‘t! But Righetti‘s lead on the card‘s still sizable!“
R8: Lawley‘s tired, but wide-eyed, stepping to her girl early – she‘s roping in ‘Manda‘s shoulders/flanks with short, stiff-ish clubs from close range, numbing Righetti‘s strengths with shock n‘ awe power! Redhead covered up, taking the sock – she‘s looking miserable, frustrated as she‘s all-hunched in behind her gloves! Lawley‘s spanks have Amanda gaspin‘, grimacin‘, partin‘ her lips – Righetti‘s guard‘s still rigid, her legs a stronghold, but redhead‘s mighty thighs tremble under the pressure! Miss ‘Manda finally leggin‘ it, taking backward step-outs from Lawley‘s work, as Robyn‘s shock jars her arms, leaving mighty Amanda shakin‘, stirred up by all the blasts! Might be the first time Robyn‘s conquered back crucial mid-ring ground from Righetti since early in the fight – she‘s got her redhead challenger takin‘ spurts, pedals for more territory.
A minute in, Amanda‘s still low n‘ leggy, but no longer as dangerous, efficient – she touches Lawley up via the odd, stooped tummy jab, maybe slops a right hand to the cheek/ear as Robyn steps-to, stalks.
Lawley‘s able to up her tempo a notch, make the ring small n‘ tight for a still-mobile Righetti – plus, Robyn‘s high-revving the uppercuts! There‘s that wide, six-footer‘s reach from the Aussie – duo of long-jabs spits at Amanda‘s mid-riff, pounds her ribs a thump! Lawley eases weight on her front foot, just lets the left cork it home – smoothens Righetti‘s jugs with mammoth body uppercut! Robyn‘s right hand comes a-loopin‘, crashes upside ‘Manda‘s left temple – Righetti‘s stunned, slumps against the ropes in dazed freeze!
Lawley‘s shots heavy, lustful– she‘s SHELLING Righetti at the ropes upon the head n‘ shoulders, head n‘ shoulders!
Righetti‘s hurt, her eyes a dizzy, rapid blink, taking a hunker down against the ropes, her gloves clutched at either side of skull – she‘s still able to bend at the waist, dip her torso left, right, roll with the shots, snuggle up around Robyn‘s mighty wide middle, force a wonky ref‘s break. Pace‘s still fast n‘ furious, as girls trade right hands high n‘ low, taking ducks n‘ dips to survive the mayhem – this time Robyn‘s broad, wide frame‘s firmly placed on top, as Aussie plants her feet, shoots ‘em sturdy! Lawley‘s body hooks snatchin‘, snipin‘ at Righetti‘s trunkline, stoop redhead forward off the ropes – she‘s beating her flat n‘ thick about the body…mid-riff, arms, head! Mid-riff, arms, head! Mid-riff, arms, head!
RIGHETTI SPILLS TO THE CANVAS!
Not a single punch‘s effect, but the cumulative damage‘s too much for proud Righetti‘s mighty thighs – she steps out with a groan, spills forward onto her hands, knees – she‘s all tingly n‘ trembly n‘ huuuuurrrrt silly!
Lawley raises an arm, steps out back with a tired grin, as ref quickly wedges in between – he‘s counting Amanda out! Redhead shows a grim, defiant, head-shaking smile at “3“, but she‘s still on her hands n‘ knees – she bulls her way forward, gets a knee up, seemin‘ shaky at “5“. The challenger groans, rises up at “7“, spills forward into the ropes as thighs still seem wobbled – Righetti turns, stabilizes, locks her shiny eyes with the ref‘s, nods, nods again. Ref orders her off the ropes, tests her stability – REF RULES HER GOOD TO GO AT “9“!
Righetti a shopworn beauty, but she‘s still forming her stance, gets her guard in order, takes a leggy step-out, pawing at Robyn‘s chest with a sly jab, pawin‘, pokin‘ it, as Robyn‘s taking on her pursuit via those long-range steps – she‘s greedy for more Big Red! ‘Manda‘s trying to take a series of leggy cycles, create some range, distance, but it‘s no go – Lawley‘s mighty splash‘s quickly got her ropeside again! Righetti‘s sturdy frame‘s slowly losing its rigor, as she‘s just takin‘ belts, clobbers upside the head! Right hand upon the ear! Left hand to redhead‘s right breast! Short right hand triggered off Robyn‘s front foot – splits Righetti‘s mitts, corks up her jaw, sends Amanda‘s head past the top rope in a gigantic jolt! Righetti simply draped against the cables, her guard a-tremble, her pretty eyes a dazed mixture of steely n‘ sleepy, waiting for Robyn‘s next blast – THE REF STEPS IN, cradling Righetti to safety!
Robyn‘s shoved away by stern-eyed ref...she yelps, *squeals* in triumph, as redhead‘s still dazed n‘ confused in the ref‘s embrace, mumbling a drowsy protest – Aussie‘s STILL the world‘s welterweight champion, turning back her mighty challenger with a TKO8, Robyn “Godzilla“ Lawley!
After: Robyn Lawley‘s on top of the world – she‘s just crowned her amazing 2022 with a determined finish against Sceej‘s long-time nemesis, Big Red herself! Look at Amanda – her face‘s a battered mess, but her eyes are steely, defiant as she‘s leaning softly, rickety against the ref‘s embrace, struggling to argue his stoppage. Robyn taking well-earned congrats from Scrubby McGee, Adrianne Palicki, Jenny McCarthy, Gena Lee Nolin – it‘s a redemptive triumph after all the hurt Righetti‘s dished out on Sceej girls during the years.
Righetti‘s being a little recalcitrant during her post-fight interview, not really bowing to Lawley‘s superiority tonight – “The ref‘s the ref, I get it, but I wasn‘t helpless, guys! At the end, this one‘s on me, no doubt, though – I should have finished the job when I was on top! All in all, I‘ve got no reason to be scared of Robyn‘s size in the ring – next time that tower‘s staying down on the canvas, I promise!“
Last words go to Ali, Jennifer…
“This is bitter for Righetti,“ Ali sighs. “She‘s had Lawley on the ropes, just like she‘s had Kate Upton on the ropes – she‘ll be looking to actually *finish* these girls in 2023!“
“Robyn‘s win‘s just momentous,“ Jennifer assesses. “She‘s the most dominant champ we‘ve seen in a while. Taking out Hannah, Kate and Amanda‘s probably one of the best back-to-back performances we‘ve ever seen at welter. She‘s just *un-freakin‘-disputed* right now!“
