Olivia Holt
vs Brec Bassinger
Before: Brec the decided underdog after the loss to perennial O&E punching bag Watson, “This is going to be a long summer for Brec, and I’m going to be the one to make it that way!”
Brec claims not to be overawed by the two-time champion: " I can't afford to take her for granted, I think I'm the faster girl, I'm better conditioned, I'd say I hit harder on average and I'm the better boxer. Look, I'll be honest with you, I should handle this girl, I really believe that."
Olivia in her signature black high-waisted bikini, matching gloves, chin-length hair loose. Brec in pink floral bikini, white gloves, blonde curls under a pink hat that she tosses into the crowd before ducking under the ropes. Both fighters barefoot in the sand.
R1: Brec showing closed stance midring: left shoulder pointed at Olivia; chin tucked; left across gut; right under chin; weight on back foot. Holt rangier - weight on front foot; hands up, out, widely spaced as she tilts forward in springing position. Rising, batting left hook ‘Livy - startling Brec to face; short, chopping right, clipping to left temple; follow up chopping right to cheek; rangy left uppercut, scraping left side of blonde's face as she reels backward wide eyed. Middle minute - Bassinger fights a series of shrewd, slip-and-counter engagements, nipping at Holt's ribcage and retreating from her as blonde comes forward. Olivia adjusts late - pumping the jab at Brec's left shoulder, forcing her to bob on the spot - then leaning in with rangy right hands over the top. Holt's round: each getting a dose of the other’s rangy, crisp, athletic delivery in the first.
R2; Good adjustment from Brec. She fades Olivia's early pressure - luring the older woman to ropes, countering viciously off the apron with either hand to blonde's ribcage. Smarting, wincing - Holt backs off; Bassinger forward, spitting jabs uptop to set up driving rights/hooking lefts to midsection. Good thumping work from Brec on offence: on defence, she's luring ‘Livy forward, making Holt pay for any aggression with savage counterpunching to the body.
R3: Similar opening positions: Brec in closed stance, bending at the waist - looking to roll-and-counter inside. Olivia more upright, hands up and out, feet wide apart, weight on that sleek front leg. Holt leading with rising left hooks, then chopping down right hands: nice whippy, batting action as she seeks Bassinger's head. Brec bobbing and rolling, parrying shots with left shoulder - answering back right uppercuts to ‘Livy's midsection on occasion. Bassinger fighting cagey - snatching back quick and hard enough to keep Holt out where she wants her.
R4: Brec ups tempo - stiff jabbing Olivia body&head, then kissing her righty: blonde forced back in early action. Middle minute, Bassinger's pressure brings out the slugger in Holt - crowd roaring as sturdy little women stand-and-deliver. Both fighters dipping and twisting side to side, hauling home robust, roundhouse rights and lefts: Brec catches a heavy right upside her head, followed by a swinging left wide to chin and BASSINGER'S DOWN! Brec punched to her buns: ‘Livy eyes-bright, batting her mitts on the strut past. Final minute: Bassinger blinking, thighs a little shaky: she sets up at apron, looking to rope-a-dope again as Holt storms forward. Olivia smart - ignoring Brec's elusive head - focusing instead on that luscious 20 something body: bouncing leather off beef to bell.
R5: Big, stepped-in jab knocking at Brec's left eye, punching her head back, she’s shying away as Olivia walks her down. Sweeping right hand catches Bassinger just beneath the jug line: she shouts in pain, hugs her body, stumbles to her right and backs into ropes. Holt jogging in to clean up and EATS A LOOPING RIGHT HAND! Crazy-desperate overhand right as Brec catches ‘Livy charging in: big head-swivel Holt - her body suddenly limp, pirouetteing-clockwise as she crosses Bassinger's front to crash down on her back. Brec still hugging her gut in agony, but suddenly ferocious, screaming incoherently as she sits in ropes while sliding hurt to neutral corner. Olivia's eyelashes fluttering as she comes around...she rolls into ropes, pulls herself upright...she's swaying on the spot at 10, lips parted, eyes glazed and the REF WAVES IT OFF! Good Lord – TKO5 Brec Bassinger!
After: Cami’s walked Brec twice, fellow blonde isn’t going to be spared. Hard, vicious fight leaves its marks on both fighters as they make their way around the ring. Bassinger snapping her losing streak, showing she can still hang with the best of the flyweight division.
