Sydney Sweeney versus Paige Spirinac (Body Saddle)

BEFORE:

Blonde/brunette fray sees a pair of former JMD Champions trying locking horns in a Body Saddle contest which is also a rematch of a JMD battle won by Spiranac last September. But, despite her defeat eight months ago, the brunette comes into this one confident of victory. "Paige didn't get lucky last time," Sydney admits. "It was a good fight, and she came out on top. But, tonight's going to be a different story."

"Sydney's right," says the blonde beauty with a smile. "Tonight IS going to be a different story, because I'm going to beat her even WORSE than I did the last time!"

ROUND ONE:

Blonde using the reach early, snapping out jabs, trying to enforce distance. Sydney knows the game, though, and she begins angling past the left, stepping to, working the blonde to head and body. Paige gives some ground, wants space here. This isn't JMD, and she's not looking to brawl, at least at the moment. But Sweeney slick and moving very well, getting to her spots and getting off, tossing the blonde onto the defensive again and again. Paige out of sorts as the round goes on. A day late and a dollar short on just about everything, as the brunette takes control of the proceedings and piles up the points right to the bell. When it rings, it's Sydney wide and with the 10-9 lead.


ROUND TWO:

Sweeney wants to work inside? Well, Paige is FINE with that in the second. Result? Ladies pretty much meet in the middle of the ring and get AFTER one another, banging away at head and body with solid shot. It's nothing sloppy, mind. Good defense is being played, as both fighters block and slip punches, but TONS of heavy leather is being exchanged at short distances. Both blonde and brunette manage to back the other up occasionally, but, both fighters step right back to each and every time, resulting in the entire round being contested, pretty much, in the phone booth. There's not a lot in it, and, when the bell rings, it's very close, but it's Paige and we're even at 19.

ROUND THREE:

More of the same, with even MORE of the same. Ladies digging more body this frame, hooking ribs and tummy, even banging a little rack. And, both are more active to the head as well. Once again, we're in the phone booth, with almost everything happening at close quarters and neither fighter showing any inclination to attempt to work to range. Instead, it's both blonde and brunette thumping away at one another, sitting down on punches, investing in body, fighting a war of attrition all while looking to find an opening for a shot that might finish the thing. But, while tons of good shot lands, no one is hurt, and, when the bell rings, it's a near thing, but it's Sydney, and Sweeney pulls back into the lead 29-28.

ROUND FOUR:

It ain't broke, so no one's trying to fix it. Both Sydney and Paige are comfortable banging at close quarters, so, that's exactly what we're going to do. Fourth sees even more body work, as both fighters begin investing heavily, confident their own sturdy form can outlast that of their respective opponent. Spiranac lands a couple of hard shots to the head at the midway point that backs up the brunette and makes her cover up, but Sydney's right back at the blonde almost immediately. Once again, there's almost nothing in it, and, when the bell rings, both fighters are scuffing, both bodies are reddening, and Paige has claimed the points narrowly to even things at 38.

ROUND FIVE:

Back to the booth. Fighters digging, banging, trying to establish some sort of control, just as they have for the past three rounds...BOOM! Right hand, PAIGE and SYDNEY IS HURT! Sweeney GOBSMACKED, staggering backward, nearly going down. Blonde ALL IN, firing away with both hands, driving the wobbly brunette into the ropes, then going to work head, body, rack. Sweeney hanging on in a high guard as the ref looks in closely. Paige throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Sydney, but Sweeney managing to ship the shell and stay afloat while doing just enough to keep the ref at bay to the bell. When it rings, the brunette's looking a shambles while the blonde takes the round wide and takes a 48-47 lead at the half.

ROUND SIX:

Paige walking Sydney down behind the left hand. Sweeney still looking a little unsteady. Soon enough, the brunette's backed to the ropes again. She's taking in a high guard, rolling with, leaning back, blocking with the arms and gloves as much as she can and ROCKING PAIGE WITH A RIGHT HAND COUNTER! Sweeney absolutely KEYHOLES a right that sends Spiranac stumbling backward. Brunette EXPLODING off the ropes and sending a buzz saw of leather at the blonde and DOWN GOES PAIGE as the volume of heavy shot is too much! Spiranac down on her back. Sweeney to a neutral corner. Ref counting down at the wide eyed blonde. Paige's mind willing, but the body won't answer! She can't beat the count! It's OVER! And your winner by KO6 is Sydney Sweeney!
