Before: These two met in Kira’s FCBA debut, with Ashley pulling off a nice win. Now these two are on different paths. Ashley has now dropped four in a row, dropping out of the top twenty. Kira meanwhile is coming off an unsuccessful title fight, and beat the current champ earlier in the year. There was talk of her joining JMD champ Thorne and flyweight challenger Holt for a BWO cover, if the title fights had gone another way.
Ringposts-in-sand setup. Ashley in her black triangle bikini, black gloves, hair wet and slicked back. Kira in pink demi-cup top, red-white-&-blue bottoms, white gloves, hair up in battle bun.
R1: Ashley stepping in behind her jab; turning her shoulder into short hooks; weaving inside with her head and hands closely spaced next to Kira's. Crashing receipts from Kosarin taken on the top of Greene's head and shoulders, then she's moving to her right - jabbing Kira's guard, staying close, edging in with tidy left uppercut to re-initiate. Clever stuff from Ashley - she's fighting inside, but turning Kira, keeping the action clear of the ropes. Kosarin aggressive, swishing forward in the sand, but landing a lower percentage of shots due to Greene's superior positioning, blocking schemes, and timing. Bell: frustrated Kira lands a blatant late hook in Ashley's paunch; Greene shoves Kosarin onto her butt; ref jumps in hot, lays down law early. Kira left standing for most of the break as the towel-girl makes her first appearance.
R2: Girls crowd close again, Ashley greets Kira with a shrugging left uppercut short to chin. Kosarin fast-hooks Greene's jaw in tight, takes a swatting hook in return. Kira grabby now, girls leaning forward, crowns a-butting; hands in tight to chests, punches coming in short, curling bursts. Crowd already roaring as Kira plows a right uppercut into Ashley’s washboard abs, Greene chugging back a JMD grade hup-hup to back the kid up. Ashley chops short right cross from raised guard, turning Kira's chin: she walks-through, pounds the waistline right/left/right with her face pushing against Greene's guard. Ashley gives ground, weight on right leg as she fits a snug left uppercut to chin - then she's leaning in mouth-on-shoulder, trading rights and lefts to gut. Brutal, astounding warfare - both girls learn it's a mistake to pull out as the other invariably lunges in and scores with sweeping hooks to maintain pressure. Non-stop back and forth - crowd whipped to frenzy as both girls unleash tight-punching havoc from close range. Just at the bell Kira scoots in a clean hook to send Ashley spiraling out of the phonebooth, spanking blast might just be the difference in a too-close-too-call round!
R3: Kira stubbing out short jabs on Ashley’s face, hooking her body, clouting her right hands on the ear--Greene covering up, staggering under the wallop. Middle minute finds Ashley leaning forward off the ropes, heels digging into the sand, dukes at her temples, short right uppy clips Kira on the chin, thick left plunges into paunch, right uppy--chin, paunch, chin. Kosarin Fro-zen, head getting lifted up, body soaking up big booming digs and KIRA TAKES A KNEE! Ashley shouting in triumph, jogging happily away, kicking sand over her prey, Kosarin blowing hard through pursed lips, shaking her head as she gingerly gets to her feet, gets gloves wiped off. ON COMES GREENE! Ashley bulling in head and shoulders to pancake Kira onto the ropes, then breaking out the crowbar downstairs. Brutal, non-stop work--series of thudding right hands followed by struggling shove-ups, then series of withering hooks, Kira sullen, getting jammed up and belted--she’s windblown during the break, got manhandled and knows it.
R4: Kira looks like she’s trying to hunch forward through a blizzard--right hand at left cheek, left arm across her body as she crouches under the flurries of Ashley’s sock. Greene keeps BUSTING right hands over and over in those left-side ribs, Kosarin stumbling to her right, trying to stay low. Ashley bulling her way in, bodying Kira to ropes, then dippin’ and diggin’, helping herself to more and more rack&ribs as Kosarin’s defenses grow ragged. Nothing back from Kira, she’s just sitting in the ropes, trying to block shots as Ashley storms her way to a shutout. Greene wheels away rosey-cheeked at the bell, bouncing all grins to her corner. Kosarin shuffling in the sand, moping, wincing, throbbing to hers.
R5: Kira finally stands her ground, treating Ashley to some blockbuster right hands fat to tummy underneath: Geene brought to a halt, exhaling hard through pursed lips as she hunches forward with the impacts. Kosarin yearning for payback: bares her teeth, reaches way back and PLOWS her right hand into Ashley’s flat midriff in retribution. Greene stumbling back under repeated wallop, trying to keep her feet in the sand: she’s a little awestruck, soaking up swinging right hands against her chest, tummy, and left-side lats from a surging Kosarin. Ashley regroups down the stretch, girls butting heads “accidentally” as she clinches quick, smudging each other to the side, then clubbing away, veteran able to clout Kira’s head and shoulders as rookie momentum stalls late.
R6: Crazy overhand rights as Kira comes in, Ashley catching all of it on her jaw, goes instantly wobbly butt with a stricken expression. Grim body punching takes Greene’s breath away—lefts and rights swiped hard across her waist drive her to ropes. Ashley winded, sagging, bent forward behind her mitts and SOBS as Kira rips hooks up and in, UP AND IN! Kosarin twisting herself hard-right on her hips, dragging that left hand thick to Greene’s waist, KIRA’S crying out as she lands these blockbusters against that hated midsection. Ashley all drowsy, not punching back as she’s bullied and smudged, Kosarin working shove-and-slug with grim determination, systematically reducing her foe. Greene unable to fight her way off the ropes, Kosarin keeping the pressure on. Ashley finally able to punch back late: she should be clinching, soaks up extra harm instead as Kira paints it on thick. Bell: Kosarin stomping-to, chesting up on her grimacing foe as Greene sags in ropes.
R7: Kira piles on board once again, walking Ashley to the ropes, bodying them both onto the strands, then pulling out to go to work. Greene’s butt propped on ropes, gloves limp in front of her face, Kosarin’s punches to the head easily sweeping away the guard. Kira battering at Ashley arms to encourage weakness—she’s breaking down every available inch. Ref doing a deplorable job as Greene goes out on her feet, but continues to take ruinous punishment. In the dying seconds of the opening minute, Kosarin sets her feet, steels her eyes, and goes at Ashley’s liver with a series of hooks—murderous, bludgeoning punches that bash in behind the elbow with a meaty thunk, over and over again and GREENE GOES DOWN! Ashley simply beaten to the sand, falls to all fours, then sinks back to her haunches, head lolling back to expose that sweat streaked neck—she can’t go on. Savage KO7 as Kira evens the score!
After: Both fighters continuing on their trajectories, Kira firmly ensconced in the top five, pretty much guaranteed to be champion and soon. Ashley downwards plummet intensifies, she’s losing to good fighters, but she keeps losing!
