Hunter King (#30 Front St) vs Natalie Alyn Lind (#41 Foxfire) @ Bantam
TALE OF THE TAPE: (Result: Lookout/Words: Simgrrl)
King, (26yo, 5'5", 118#, 16-0) vs Lind, (20yo, 5'5, 119#, 9-4)
Before: Lind winless in 2019; King undefeated since...forever! On paper, a mismatch; but Lind has flashed some ability and in boxing anything can happen. Lind with a few familiar names among her victims (current bantam champ Lovato and AJ Michalka (ranked #21). Losses to Panettiere (#22) and Thorne (#7) were early in her career but the February 2019 JMD with Demi Rose (#9) went down to the wire before Lind coughed up a lead and got stopped late. Nat's shown some skill but there are some who question if she has what it takes to "finish" against a talented opponent.
The other question NAL has to answer is if she can bounce back from the devastating JMD loss to Rose - including her humiliatingly public breast smothering by the JMD titlist following her KO. Some fighters never recover from that kind of shaming while the true greats come back stronger and more determined. Few women choose to specialize in JMD/D and many walk away from it after a few devastating public humiliations like the one Demi Rose gave Natalie... forcing a sobbing Lind to blubber over the PA, "DEMI ROSE’S MAGNIFICENT JUGGS DEFEATED MY PUNY EXCUSES FOR JUGGS!”
Lind, pressed by reporters for a comment in the days leading up to this fight, blushed when asked if she meant what she said, "...or did you lie to Demi Rose and all of the fans when you said that?"
"I'm 2-2 in JMD," Lind bristled, trying to defend herself. "I whipped Michalka and Lovato and had fun doing it. I lost to Thorne in only my fourth fight...my first exposure to JMD. I gave as good as I got and even Bella said after that I'd done good. Rose was a whole different thing. I realize now I took the fight too soon after being KOed by Danes. I wasn't ready... mentally or physically. I hadn't spent enough time preparing. I suppose you'd say I was, basically, a wreck. Tonight, I'm primed and ready for King. I want you all to be ready to say nice things about me after I put an end to the unbeaten steak she's built against, mostly B-level talent."
Hunter King dismissing Lind's blustering, pointing out she's steamrolled everyone she faced. "Sixteen up and sixteen stretched out, baby! That bimbo Canuck wannabe sexpot can talk all she wants but here's a fact you can look up. I've only fought in ONE JMD fight (Kim Kardashian) and I ended it in less than a minute. Please note that when Lind signed to fight me tonight she did NOT want it under JMD rules. I guess she's had all she can handle of those!"
Hunter King choosing her favorite ring attire, a black bikini with white trim, white boots & gloves with her hair in a slick ponytail held together by a black ribbon with a skull and crossbones emblem. Neve Campbell assisted by Pink in King's corner with Neve giving the last minute talk before the bell.
Natalie doesn't have "favorite" fight gear, and since Hunter claimed the first choice of attire, Natalie was forced to go with a lighter color and decided on a white lace underwire, half cup, bra, matching lace panties and thigh high white stockings. The only splash of color is provided by red trainers and her "blood red" boxing gloves. She completes her outfit with a pink headband holding her messy blond hair off her face. Nia Peeples and Dani Fishel working Natalie's corner; Dani whispering in her ear.

R1: Veteran head-hunter King right up into Natalie's grill from the bell; bodying up with the lush bodied blonde, Hunter hammers her torso with mean-spirited intention. It's clear from the git-go King wants to end this fight as quickly as possible - a message to the rest of her wannabe challengers she's not gonna let anyone stand in her way!
Lind weathering Hunter's early body barrage with a lot of clinching and stand-up grappling on the ropes before she builds enough momentum to trade (more or less) equally with the fast-fisted King who continues to apply pressure to the young blond who celebrated her 20th birthday a few days ago. Clearly, Hunter thinks her road to success begins somewhere around Lind's belly button - the main target of a series of belly-busting lefts from King since the opening bell.
Natalie forced back until she's butt-stuffed in the ropes and again forced to clinch with her cheek on Hunter's shoulder. King taking advantage of Lind again, drilling into her belly; her quick fists chup-chup-chuping away in a steady drumbeat of leather on smooth young flesh that puts a bright pink glow on the smooth round swell of Natalie's lower belly. Finally, the bell! Hunter King spins away, arms raised, flexing her biceps, the lets out a loud shout of joy as she bounds back to her corner where Neve Campbell shoves her butt onto her stool and gets in her face pointing out everything she did wrong.
Lind walks in shock back to her corner, her right hand on her belly. There, Dani Fishel grabs her and gets nose-to-nose with her, trying to shake her fighter out of her daze. No doubt about it, King took the 1st round by a wide margin.
R2: Neve Campbell exhorts King, "Keep taking it to her body. She's soft, she can't take it." Hunter stands before the bell, eager to get back to ending Lind's brazen challenge with a thrashing, punishment for the upstart questioning the quality of the opponents Hunter beat in compiling the perfect record she's so damm proud of!
Lind, red-faced and still breathing hard, quickly circles away, wary of Hunter's right hand power, but she just makes it easier for King's powerful left to feel more devastating as Hunter drives home left hook after left hook to Natalie's rapidly reddening tummy. Lind stopped in her tracks when King doubles up on the hook, gasping for air as she reels back onto the ropes which stop her and hold her in place for King who surges forward to ram her bosom into Natalie's, trapping the young blonde on the strands.
Hunter props Lind up with a forearm across her chest as she slams two hard right uppercuts to Natalie's belly below her navel just at the elastic of her low-riding white lace panties. Lind folds forward into a right uppercut that short circuits her legs! Natalie Alyn Lind dives face first to the mat with her head between Hunter's feet. The referee springs into action, wrapping King up and pulling her away, sending her to the far corner, then picks up the count.
Lind pushing herself up to her knees, shaking her head, slumping back on her haunches blinking as the count continues. Looking around, Natalie grabs the ropes and hauls herself up on rubbery legs, leaning back on the ropes; lifting her hands. The referee picks up Lind's mouthpiece which had fallen out and hustles to her corner to rinse it off, then returns to push the shield back into her gaping mouth. She nods that she's OK and the referee waves King back in.
Natalie stumbling and stutter-stepping ahead, pushing her left in Hunter's face, then windmilling a wild right that King leans back, allowing Lind's feeble attempt to bounce harmlessly off her chest, then King turns into another left hook to the body that doubles Natalie over. Hunter's sweeping right hits Natalie on the left shoulder, glancing into the side of her head. Natalie reeling to her right, still on her feet as she careens chest-first into the ropes, her arms draped over the top rope keeping her upright! Hunter hesitates to punch and the referee steps in to give Natalie a standing eight.
He checks Lind closely, but her eyes are clear and she answers his questions, correctly naming the day of the week and the city they're in. Hunter quickly back on Natalie at the referee's signal, battering her body as Natalie huddles with her butt in the ropes, gloves at her ears, elbows tucked in as she bobs, ducks and leans left and right, going with the punches. Hunter arm-weary at the bell, unable to put the stubborn, and surprisingly durable, Natalie Lind, down again. It's another round (wide) for Hunter King who sprints to a 2-0 lead in what she hopes will be her "statement fight" - and her 17th straight win.
R3: Hunter King getting a stern talking to from Campbell between rounds and is, again, up and eager at the bell. Natalie Lind quick off her stool after a long, heated, discussion with Fishel who was using her hands to demonstrate how she wants her fighter to attack King.
Natalie still looking to avoid Hunter's powerful left hook, but instead of running away from it, she's moving to her right, smothering King's ability to lean into her left by blocking it at its origin. Now Lind starts to use her own left hook, beating Hunter to the punch several times in the opening minute. King looking frustrated when she's unable to continue to dominate her buxom blonde opponent as she has for two rounds.
Both fighters landing clean to the body frequently, but it's Lind who is starting to land punches to King's head midway thru the round. Hunter being pushed backward around the ring because Natalie is now willing to take some punishment if she can dish out hurt to King. Natalie's having her best round of the fight in the first minute, but Hunter King's making adjustments and she soon as Natalie walking into that troublesome left hook again! Hunter getting a little JMDsy once she finds if she scuffs up Lind's puppies she can make Natalie back off whenever Lind becomes too much bother.
Natalie making some adjustments of her own - not enjoying having her pride 'n' joy jubblies smacked around in what was supposed to be a "real" boxing match. After the girls have several puppy pancaking exchanges, the referee warns 'em both, "Knock it off!" They calm down and stop the JMD nonsense just as Tess Valmore is about to writes them up on her Twitter account, #StopJMD!
Once her focus is back on boxing instead of Hunter's boobs, Natalie settles into a steady rhythm, pushing her straight left in King's face, then coming over the top with a punishing right, then slipping sideways to hammer home a left hook to the body. After several of these, Natalie has found she is able to hit Hunter pretty much at will and she controls the fight to the bell. Lind's late rally is just enough for her to win her first round of the fight, but only by the narrowest of margins.
R4: The fight veers Natalie's way in the fourth as she continues to build on her work at the end of the third, coming out to get the jump on Hunter before King even throws a punch! The Canadian Cutie rocks the "Ventura Volcano" with a series of hard rights to drive Hunter back into her corner where Natalie keeps her penned up as she works King's body up and down, never landing twice in the same spot but spreading the pain throughout as Hunter twice tries to push out of the corner, only to be rebuffed and jammed back against the turnbuckles for more punishment.
King fighting out of a low crouch, left arm crossed in front of her, her right low at her side. From there, Hunter throws big uppercuts to Natalie's paunch, or brings them up the middle between Lind's prominent breasts trying to land a KO punch. Sadly for both fighters, Natalie's puppies get in the way of most of King's uppercuts which blunts much of their power. Still, Natalie's boobs are throbbing halfway through the round and her nose has been bloodied by the uppercuts that manage to avoid her bosom. For her part, Natalie has been concentrating most of her attack on Hunter's torso, payback for the two rounds of abuse when King punished hers.
In the closing minute of the round, after suffering a breath-taking body beating, Hunter finally manages to escape her corner and get into the open where she at last has room to maneuver. King's body is so crampy and achy from Natalie's punches, she can no longer move with the fluid grace she showed in the opening two rounds and the fight devolves into a head-to-head bashing contest with the women trading heavy blows at close range. Natalie Alyn Lind is getting the better of the exchanges until the final thirty seconds when Hunter is at last able to catch and clinch. From there they fall into the ropes to grapple and writhe round and round to the bell when the ref has to intervene to pull them apart!
Natalie's big early offensive is enough to win her the round on points - wide - which more or less evens the fight at two rounds each, but King still holds a narrow lead in points going into the 5th.
R5: Neve reading Hunter the riot act between rounds ("Yer blowin' it kid") and King reacts as expected, coming out red-faced and snorting fire to open the fifth. Lind, looking arm weary after throwing everything but the kitchen sink at King in the fourth, blown away by the resuscitated "Ventura Volcano" who erupts in Natalie's face with a sustained body bashing barrage of lefts and rights in the opening minute that sends the Canadian Cutie reeling back to the ropes! Hunter, reprising her earlier success, quickly bodying up to Natalie, head wedged under Lind's jutting chin while Hunter's JMD-worthy bosom pushing on Natalie's proud puppies until they flatten from the unrelenting pressure.
Hunter, her body tilting forward, her feet digging into the canvas with her hips well back from Lind's, leaving herself room to punch paunch - and she does with malicious delight - every ab smashing blow earning Hunter the sweet sound of Lind grunting, groaning, moaning, or simply huffing out air as King takes her time breaking down the youngster's post-pubescent body with deliberate strokes designed to break both Natalie's spirit and her will. Hunter isn't simply trying to win the fight, she's determined to destroy Natalie Alyn Lind as a future threat to her bantam hegemony!
Natalie shaking her head, looking left and right for a way out of Hunter's trap, but with King's forehead under her chin, and the firm pressure of King's chest pinning her on the ropes, she can barely get a breath, let alone fight her way free. Natalie's reduced to using her hands to grab Hunter's biceps as she tries, in vain, to push her off of her. Lind's grasp of her upper arms somewhat hinders Hunter's punching, but she's still able to wrestle an arm free to land a belly punch, or an uppercut to Natalie's heaving hooters often enough that Lind spends the entire fifth round trapped on the ropes being "manhandled" by the older, more experienced, California blonde. At the bell, Hunter King steps back, her clenched fists raised shoulder high as she stares Natalie in the eye as if daring her to try something after the bell. But Natalie just drops her hands to her hips and slowly bends leans over panting and gasping for air as the referee steps between them and, pointing across the ring, tells Hunter, "Go to your corner!" Then he takes Natalie's elbow and escorts her five feet to her corner where Dani Fishel had been screaming at Natalie for three minutes waits out of breath, her face flushed.
Needless to say, Hunter King took the 5th round points (wide) without benefit of a knockdown.
R6: Fishel and Peeples working warp speed trying to put Natalie's confidence back together after she'd been dominated as thoroughly as she'd ever had been before in any fight. Trainer Virginia Madsen and General Manager Jennifer Garner visit the corner to deliver messages of support hoping to reinforce Fishel and Peeples' efforts. They're all still yakking at Natalie when the warning buzzer sounds. Across the ring, Neve says, "Time to end this." Pink adds, "Yeah, put her down like a dog."
Hunter fast off the mark, following orders to take advantage of Natalie's fragile mental state, opens with a "Superman Punch" leaping into a dramatic right hand that spins Lind around and nearly sends her to the mat. Natalie stumbling off to her right as Hunter lands behind her on one knee. King turning with her gloves upraised to block any Lind punch, but looking up all she sees is the bouncing pale white globes of Natalie's butt cheeks as she totters to the ropes and falls forward onto them, her arms draped over the top. Hunter rises and saunters confidently up behind Lind, playfully spanks her butt, then grabs her shoulder and turns her around to face her.
Cupping Natalie's chin, Hunter lifts her head, gazes deep into Lind's glazed eyes and realizes she has time to play with her prey before administering the coup-de-grace. Holding Natalie's head in her left palm, Hunter slaps Lind's cheek a couple of times...wanting her awake and aware of what's about to happen to her. She's winding up to punch when Natalie suddenly wraps her arms around Hunter in a Bearhug. They waltz around several seconds until the referee steps in to break them up, pushing Hunter one way and Natalie the other, then clapping his hand and telling them, "Fight!"
Hunter realizes she'd made a mistake playing around when she sees Natalie raise her fists, ready to do battle. Hunter shrugs and charges in, windmilling punches with both hands, chasing Natalie back to the ropes again where she huddles in a peek-a-boo defense while Hunter takes her time lining up more shots to Natalie's rosy red belly. Hunter's master plan is to attack Lind's abs and, so far, she's been sticking to it, and for the most part with success!
Lind pushing Hunter off with both hands, but King presses right back in, putting her chest on Lind, then chugging away to the smooth, red, round, belly of the breathless blonde Canadian. Natalie's blond hair disheveled, and sweaty matted ever since her headband flew off in the opening seconds of this round, and she's constantly having to push it back off her eyes. Hunter taking advantage of every opening, cuffing Natalie upside the head with a right whenever she uses her left hand to brush away the hair from her face!
BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Hunter King, leaning into another right, is dumped on her derriere (French-Canadian for butt) by a quick uppercut from Natalie Lind! King sitting up blinking as the referee shoos Lind away and picks up the count. Hunter forward on all fours, crawling to the ropes which she uses to drag herself to one knee, then to her feet just beating the count out! Her gloves checked, King swaying, her hands up as Natalie sweeps in to finish before Hunter regains her wits.
Natalie slams a straight right to Hunter's forehead, snapping her head back, then a roundhouse right that buckles King's knees and forces Hunter to clinch, wrapping her arms around Natalie's neck, Bearhugging her to her body. Lind pounding King's flanks with both hands, but Hunter takes it in stride, refusing to release Natalie from her Bearhug. Lind wrestling free of King's embrace, shoves the "Ventura Volcano" away and again drives a right cross to Hunter's left ear. King sliding sideways on the ropes, is pursued by Natalie throwing right hand after right hand - most landing - keeping Hunter reeling down the ropes into the Front St. corner where Neve Campbell has been joined by Jewel Kilcher, both screaming at Hunter to clinch. She does.
Natalie wriggles her left hand free and slams two left hooks to the body, doubling Hunter over; hanging on Lind's body with her left arm over Natalie's right shoulder, her left hand cupping the back of Lind's head aided by a handful of loose hair. The referee slaps Hunter's hand down, but doesn't break them apart until the bell rings to end the sixth round. Natalie's knockdown in minute two and subsequent domination of the final minute won her the round (wide), pulling even at 3-3; still trailing in points!
R7: Both corners doing damage control between rounds; seeing their fighter as in position to end it, yet aware the other fighter is landing telling blows of her own. It's anyone's fight!
Natalie out fast hoping to put Hunter away before she's fully recovered from the knockdown. Lind had King set up, but couldn't land a 'go home' punch to end King's unbeaten streak. Natalie's 'all in' this round, come what may. King not as offensively minded as earlier and Lind reads King's body language and decides to take a chance! She rushes in and staggers King with a straight right to begin the seventh, then a solid left hook to Hunter's right breast makes the "Ventura Volcano" erupt with a squeal of pain as she recoils wide-eyed! Natalie takes that as a sign of weakness and rushes to throw another right; but Hunter slips it and answers with her own right to Natalie's belly. That punch stops the Canadian blonde in her tracks, standing still open-mouthed and gasping for air. Hunter throws a quick, off balance left that clips Natalie high on the head, sending her stumbling to her left off balance. Hunter reads it as Lind being hurt and hurries into position to take advantage, paying for her haste when Natalie turns and throws a sweeping left that crashes into Hunter's face!
DOWN SHE GOES! Two angry blondes throwing toe-to-toe at center ring; trading wild punches with little thought of defense until Natalie misses a wild right. As she nearly topples over on follow-thru, her face ends up squarely in front of Hunter's right hand and the impact drops Natalie on her chest! Hunter almost trips over Natalie as she rumbles forward, sprawling into the ropes. She untangles herself and struts away with her arms raised, not bothering to look back at the devastated blonde writhing in her wake.
Natalie tries to sit up, but falls back down as the referee picks up the count. She rolls over and pushes up to her knees, looking bewildered. At last hearing the count, Lind gets to one knee, then at nine she rises and put her hands up in front her. She knows where she is and the referee lets the fight go on. Hunter can't believe Natalie got up... most girls haven't when she's hit them that hard, but Natalie does get up, so Hunter will just have to put her down again - once and for all!
Natalie fighting going backward, buying time to clear her head as King turns hunter, stalking her prey, trying to maneuver Natalie back into a corner where Hunter's had more than her share of success with the less experienced Canadian blond. King setting Natalie up with her left, then using her right to force Lind back and to her left until Natalie's fulsome butt is once more pinned against the turnbuckles - just the way Hunter planned!
King teeing off on Natalie's body, again punishing her suspect mid-section. The soft, smooth, rolling curve of pale skin quickly takes on its familiar rosy red hue as punch after punch slips thru Natalie's defenses. Again, Lind forced to clinch up high, leaving her belly exposed and Hunter takes advantage again, drilling left hooks South of Natalie's cute little belly button. Lind struggling against the older California blond, unable to force her way out of the corner she gets desperate and pushes off the turnbuckles with her butt, her forearm horizontal across Hunter's bosom as she pushes her back.
Hunter is surprised by Natalie's unexpected powerful shove and, with her left hand buried in Lind's belly, she's late to react when Natalie chops a hard right down to the side of Hunter's chin!
DROPPED TO HER KNEES, King can't believe she's been knocked down, not by this blond JMD fighter! She sits back on her heels shaking her head more in disbelief than to clear it. The referee hustles Lind over to the far corner, then returns to Hunter who's already getting back to her feet, sheepishly holding her gloves out for the referee's inspection.
As they resume the fight, Hunter unleashes a whirlwind attack, desperate to show the judges she's unhurt by the knockdown, but Natalie has taken heart from her success and she blocks most of King's punches, and answers with some of her own that find their way past Hunter's defenses to land solidly. Despite her desire to press Natalie, Hunter is forced to back up under the pressure of Natalie's pin-point punching. The girls swap big right hands at the bell and the referee has to jump in to part them as they continue to throw fists after the bell! Judges call this round even, with each getting a knockdown. The margin remains razor thin after seven give-and-take rounds as the momentum pendulum swings wildly back and forth.
R8: Campbell-Peeples joined by Kilcher; all talking at once in King's corner, clear evidence their unbeaten beauty is struggling against the bulky blonde Canadian with Lind refusing to bend the knee. Hunter shaking her head at one point, nodding agreement another. Her California tanned body glistens with perspiration when she stands at the warning buzzer. Natalie Lind gets last minute tips from Fishel and Peoples... even Madsen puts in her 2 cents worth, then spanks Natalie's butt at the bell.
Two determined young blondes square off for the eighth time in the fight, each determined to show the other who's the top female dog! And that "top dog" turns out to be Hunter King as she feints the right to get Natalie looking left, then catches the Canuck with the left hook! Lind shaken, then SHE'S HURT by the right cross catching her clean on the jaw. Natalie staggers rubber-legged backward with King in hot pursuit. Two lefts and a right puts Natalie's round rump between the ropes, her upper body tilted forward behind gloves clinched at her cheeks.
Hunter hammering Natalie with both fists; Lind's body rippling and rolling as punches slam into it as she slides in a low crouch along the ropes while Hunter, standing straight upright, pounds down at her fast-fading foe. Natalie reaching out, grabbing King by the hips and pulling her to her; Natalie wrapping Hunter up around the waist, her right cheek against King's right hip. Referee struggling to pry them apart, finally gets Linds hands unclasped and pushes them apart; gives Natalie a finger wagging warning and steps away.
Hunter smiling as she closes in behind a series of left jabs that buffet Natalie's head, bouncing it back as she chases her around the ring. Natalie, fighting backing up, can't land any significant punches, but her main interest is in staying on her feet and avoiding additional damage until she can regroup. But Hunter King isn't going to give her a chance to do that; unleashing the hound of Hell on Natalie as she stalks her! Lind is cornered once again and fights back in desperation, throwing uppercuts. One lands flush on the point of Hunter's chin and... King's hurt!
Hunter rocked by an uppercut staggers, backing up in wide-eyed surprise. Natalie coming out of the corner throwing, lands another left hook, right cross combination and Hunter's forced to clinch, wrapping her arms around Natalie's shoulders. Lind shrugs her off and slams a left-right-left to King's body, then drops a huge overhand right on Hunter's cheek that buckles her legs, then a left hook to the head drops Hunter King to her knees, stunned.
The referee in quickly, points Natalie to the corner, then counts over Hunter King. Hunter looking up at the ref as he counts, nodding along with each number. She rises at eight and acknowledges him, then he steps back and Natalie moves in. Hunter pumping out her jab to keep Lind at bay, but Natalie walks thru it, throws a huge right that buckles King's knees and, again, Hunter's forced to clinch. Lind bashing both flanks with her fists, then steps back and shoots another uppercut up the middle that snaps King's head back!
Hunter rocked back onto the ropes, settling her butt on the middle one, gloves at her head. Overhand right swivels Hunter's head to the side, then a left hook spins her around. King leans into Natalie who quickly shoves her back and rams a straight right between Hunter's gloves that smashes her nose flat and throws her head backward! Hunter King's legs turn to jelly and she drops straight down to puddle at Natalie's feet.
Lind, looking surprised, steps over Hunter's body, raises her arms and struts away, leaving King on her left hip, not moving, in her wake. The referee watches Hunter struggle to rise, then fall back. She tries again and just makes it to her feet after nine, but as she sways unsteadily, he waves off the rest of the fight and wraps his arms around her. Hunter started fast but over the long haul, Natalie Lind proved she had the ability to endure and overcome. The knockdown in minute two set King up for Natalie to finish her off in minute three. Natalie Lind wins by a TKO8 (referee stops fight).
After: Dani Fishel was 3-0 against Neve Campbell as a fighter and now her protege, Natalie Alyn Lind, has taken Neve's star pupil to the woodshed, upsetting previously undefeated Hunter King. Neve's going to have to work to resurrect Hunter's reputation while Natalie suddenly looks like she could become a force in the bantam ranks. At least she's certainly jumbled the top ten with her upset win!
"I'm stronger than her, I'm better than her, and I'm more resilient than her," Natalie boasted in postfight. "I took her best in the first half of the fight. But once I realized she couldn't really hurt me, I kept my head and worked my way back into the fight. I took advantage of a couple of things Dani and Nia saw on video and had been drilling into me in the last few weeks. This fight proves Hunter's no longer King of the Bantams.... I'm going to make Hunter my little fairy princess and if she's foolish enough to step in a ring with me again, I'll own her ass!"
"I had her on the ropes several times," Hunter asserted to the media. "I was sure she was finished and was about to go. You all saw it, she was in trouble from the start. If I hadn't made the mistake of easing up and let her off the hook, she'd have been flat on her fat ass in the second round. No way I can let this result stand... that KO was a fluke ...a one in a million lucky punch. She's ruined my hopes for a Marciano-like career record, but I want an immediate rematch. This blemish... this STAIN... on my reputation will NOT stand and she's not getting away without me setting things right."

TALE OF THE TAPE: (Result: Lookout/Words: Simgrrl)
King, (26yo, 5'5", 118#, 16-0) vs Lind, (20yo, 5'5, 119#, 9-4)
Before: Lind winless in 2019; King undefeated since...forever! On paper, a mismatch; but Lind has flashed some ability and in boxing anything can happen. Lind with a few familiar names among her victims (current bantam champ Lovato and AJ Michalka (ranked #21). Losses to Panettiere (#22) and Thorne (#7) were early in her career but the February 2019 JMD with Demi Rose (#9) went down to the wire before Lind coughed up a lead and got stopped late. Nat's shown some skill but there are some who question if she has what it takes to "finish" against a talented opponent.
The other question NAL has to answer is if she can bounce back from the devastating JMD loss to Rose - including her humiliatingly public breast smothering by the JMD titlist following her KO. Some fighters never recover from that kind of shaming while the true greats come back stronger and more determined. Few women choose to specialize in JMD/D and many walk away from it after a few devastating public humiliations like the one Demi Rose gave Natalie... forcing a sobbing Lind to blubber over the PA, "DEMI ROSE’S MAGNIFICENT JUGGS DEFEATED MY PUNY EXCUSES FOR JUGGS!”
Lind, pressed by reporters for a comment in the days leading up to this fight, blushed when asked if she meant what she said, "...or did you lie to Demi Rose and all of the fans when you said that?"
"I'm 2-2 in JMD," Lind bristled, trying to defend herself. "I whipped Michalka and Lovato and had fun doing it. I lost to Thorne in only my fourth fight...my first exposure to JMD. I gave as good as I got and even Bella said after that I'd done good. Rose was a whole different thing. I realize now I took the fight too soon after being KOed by Danes. I wasn't ready... mentally or physically. I hadn't spent enough time preparing. I suppose you'd say I was, basically, a wreck. Tonight, I'm primed and ready for King. I want you all to be ready to say nice things about me after I put an end to the unbeaten steak she's built against, mostly B-level talent."
Hunter King dismissing Lind's blustering, pointing out she's steamrolled everyone she faced. "Sixteen up and sixteen stretched out, baby! That bimbo Canuck wannabe sexpot can talk all she wants but here's a fact you can look up. I've only fought in ONE JMD fight (Kim Kardashian) and I ended it in less than a minute. Please note that when Lind signed to fight me tonight she did NOT want it under JMD rules. I guess she's had all she can handle of those!"
Hunter King choosing her favorite ring attire, a black bikini with white trim, white boots & gloves with her hair in a slick ponytail held together by a black ribbon with a skull and crossbones emblem. Neve Campbell assisted by Pink in King's corner with Neve giving the last minute talk before the bell.
Natalie doesn't have "favorite" fight gear, and since Hunter claimed the first choice of attire, Natalie was forced to go with a lighter color and decided on a white lace underwire, half cup, bra, matching lace panties and thigh high white stockings. The only splash of color is provided by red trainers and her "blood red" boxing gloves. She completes her outfit with a pink headband holding her messy blond hair off her face. Nia Peeples and Dani Fishel working Natalie's corner; Dani whispering in her ear.
* * * *
R1: Veteran head-hunter King right up into Natalie's grill from the bell; bodying up with the lush bodied blonde, Hunter hammers her torso with mean-spirited intention. It's clear from the git-go King wants to end this fight as quickly as possible - a message to the rest of her wannabe challengers she's not gonna let anyone stand in her way!
Lind weathering Hunter's early body barrage with a lot of clinching and stand-up grappling on the ropes before she builds enough momentum to trade (more or less) equally with the fast-fisted King who continues to apply pressure to the young blond who celebrated her 20th birthday a few days ago. Clearly, Hunter thinks her road to success begins somewhere around Lind's belly button - the main target of a series of belly-busting lefts from King since the opening bell.
Natalie forced back until she's butt-stuffed in the ropes and again forced to clinch with her cheek on Hunter's shoulder. King taking advantage of Lind again, drilling into her belly; her quick fists chup-chup-chuping away in a steady drumbeat of leather on smooth young flesh that puts a bright pink glow on the smooth round swell of Natalie's lower belly. Finally, the bell! Hunter King spins away, arms raised, flexing her biceps, the lets out a loud shout of joy as she bounds back to her corner where Neve Campbell shoves her butt onto her stool and gets in her face pointing out everything she did wrong.
Lind walks in shock back to her corner, her right hand on her belly. There, Dani Fishel grabs her and gets nose-to-nose with her, trying to shake her fighter out of her daze. No doubt about it, King took the 1st round by a wide margin.
R2: Neve Campbell exhorts King, "Keep taking it to her body. She's soft, she can't take it." Hunter stands before the bell, eager to get back to ending Lind's brazen challenge with a thrashing, punishment for the upstart questioning the quality of the opponents Hunter beat in compiling the perfect record she's so damm proud of!
Lind, red-faced and still breathing hard, quickly circles away, wary of Hunter's right hand power, but she just makes it easier for King's powerful left to feel more devastating as Hunter drives home left hook after left hook to Natalie's rapidly reddening tummy. Lind stopped in her tracks when King doubles up on the hook, gasping for air as she reels back onto the ropes which stop her and hold her in place for King who surges forward to ram her bosom into Natalie's, trapping the young blonde on the strands.
Hunter props Lind up with a forearm across her chest as she slams two hard right uppercuts to Natalie's belly below her navel just at the elastic of her low-riding white lace panties. Lind folds forward into a right uppercut that short circuits her legs! Natalie Alyn Lind dives face first to the mat with her head between Hunter's feet. The referee springs into action, wrapping King up and pulling her away, sending her to the far corner, then picks up the count.
Lind pushing herself up to her knees, shaking her head, slumping back on her haunches blinking as the count continues. Looking around, Natalie grabs the ropes and hauls herself up on rubbery legs, leaning back on the ropes; lifting her hands. The referee picks up Lind's mouthpiece which had fallen out and hustles to her corner to rinse it off, then returns to push the shield back into her gaping mouth. She nods that she's OK and the referee waves King back in.
Natalie stumbling and stutter-stepping ahead, pushing her left in Hunter's face, then windmilling a wild right that King leans back, allowing Lind's feeble attempt to bounce harmlessly off her chest, then King turns into another left hook to the body that doubles Natalie over. Hunter's sweeping right hits Natalie on the left shoulder, glancing into the side of her head. Natalie reeling to her right, still on her feet as she careens chest-first into the ropes, her arms draped over the top rope keeping her upright! Hunter hesitates to punch and the referee steps in to give Natalie a standing eight.
He checks Lind closely, but her eyes are clear and she answers his questions, correctly naming the day of the week and the city they're in. Hunter quickly back on Natalie at the referee's signal, battering her body as Natalie huddles with her butt in the ropes, gloves at her ears, elbows tucked in as she bobs, ducks and leans left and right, going with the punches. Hunter arm-weary at the bell, unable to put the stubborn, and surprisingly durable, Natalie Lind, down again. It's another round (wide) for Hunter King who sprints to a 2-0 lead in what she hopes will be her "statement fight" - and her 17th straight win.
R3: Hunter King getting a stern talking to from Campbell between rounds and is, again, up and eager at the bell. Natalie Lind quick off her stool after a long, heated, discussion with Fishel who was using her hands to demonstrate how she wants her fighter to attack King.
Natalie still looking to avoid Hunter's powerful left hook, but instead of running away from it, she's moving to her right, smothering King's ability to lean into her left by blocking it at its origin. Now Lind starts to use her own left hook, beating Hunter to the punch several times in the opening minute. King looking frustrated when she's unable to continue to dominate her buxom blonde opponent as she has for two rounds.
Both fighters landing clean to the body frequently, but it's Lind who is starting to land punches to King's head midway thru the round. Hunter being pushed backward around the ring because Natalie is now willing to take some punishment if she can dish out hurt to King. Natalie's having her best round of the fight in the first minute, but Hunter King's making adjustments and she soon as Natalie walking into that troublesome left hook again! Hunter getting a little JMDsy once she finds if she scuffs up Lind's puppies she can make Natalie back off whenever Lind becomes too much bother.
Natalie making some adjustments of her own - not enjoying having her pride 'n' joy jubblies smacked around in what was supposed to be a "real" boxing match. After the girls have several puppy pancaking exchanges, the referee warns 'em both, "Knock it off!" They calm down and stop the JMD nonsense just as Tess Valmore is about to writes them up on her Twitter account, #StopJMD!
Once her focus is back on boxing instead of Hunter's boobs, Natalie settles into a steady rhythm, pushing her straight left in King's face, then coming over the top with a punishing right, then slipping sideways to hammer home a left hook to the body. After several of these, Natalie has found she is able to hit Hunter pretty much at will and she controls the fight to the bell. Lind's late rally is just enough for her to win her first round of the fight, but only by the narrowest of margins.
R4: The fight veers Natalie's way in the fourth as she continues to build on her work at the end of the third, coming out to get the jump on Hunter before King even throws a punch! The Canadian Cutie rocks the "Ventura Volcano" with a series of hard rights to drive Hunter back into her corner where Natalie keeps her penned up as she works King's body up and down, never landing twice in the same spot but spreading the pain throughout as Hunter twice tries to push out of the corner, only to be rebuffed and jammed back against the turnbuckles for more punishment.
King fighting out of a low crouch, left arm crossed in front of her, her right low at her side. From there, Hunter throws big uppercuts to Natalie's paunch, or brings them up the middle between Lind's prominent breasts trying to land a KO punch. Sadly for both fighters, Natalie's puppies get in the way of most of King's uppercuts which blunts much of their power. Still, Natalie's boobs are throbbing halfway through the round and her nose has been bloodied by the uppercuts that manage to avoid her bosom. For her part, Natalie has been concentrating most of her attack on Hunter's torso, payback for the two rounds of abuse when King punished hers.
In the closing minute of the round, after suffering a breath-taking body beating, Hunter finally manages to escape her corner and get into the open where she at last has room to maneuver. King's body is so crampy and achy from Natalie's punches, she can no longer move with the fluid grace she showed in the opening two rounds and the fight devolves into a head-to-head bashing contest with the women trading heavy blows at close range. Natalie Alyn Lind is getting the better of the exchanges until the final thirty seconds when Hunter is at last able to catch and clinch. From there they fall into the ropes to grapple and writhe round and round to the bell when the ref has to intervene to pull them apart!
Natalie's big early offensive is enough to win her the round on points - wide - which more or less evens the fight at two rounds each, but King still holds a narrow lead in points going into the 5th.
R5: Neve reading Hunter the riot act between rounds ("Yer blowin' it kid") and King reacts as expected, coming out red-faced and snorting fire to open the fifth. Lind, looking arm weary after throwing everything but the kitchen sink at King in the fourth, blown away by the resuscitated "Ventura Volcano" who erupts in Natalie's face with a sustained body bashing barrage of lefts and rights in the opening minute that sends the Canadian Cutie reeling back to the ropes! Hunter, reprising her earlier success, quickly bodying up to Natalie, head wedged under Lind's jutting chin while Hunter's JMD-worthy bosom pushing on Natalie's proud puppies until they flatten from the unrelenting pressure.
Hunter, her body tilting forward, her feet digging into the canvas with her hips well back from Lind's, leaving herself room to punch paunch - and she does with malicious delight - every ab smashing blow earning Hunter the sweet sound of Lind grunting, groaning, moaning, or simply huffing out air as King takes her time breaking down the youngster's post-pubescent body with deliberate strokes designed to break both Natalie's spirit and her will. Hunter isn't simply trying to win the fight, she's determined to destroy Natalie Alyn Lind as a future threat to her bantam hegemony!
Natalie shaking her head, looking left and right for a way out of Hunter's trap, but with King's forehead under her chin, and the firm pressure of King's chest pinning her on the ropes, she can barely get a breath, let alone fight her way free. Natalie's reduced to using her hands to grab Hunter's biceps as she tries, in vain, to push her off of her. Lind's grasp of her upper arms somewhat hinders Hunter's punching, but she's still able to wrestle an arm free to land a belly punch, or an uppercut to Natalie's heaving hooters often enough that Lind spends the entire fifth round trapped on the ropes being "manhandled" by the older, more experienced, California blonde. At the bell, Hunter King steps back, her clenched fists raised shoulder high as she stares Natalie in the eye as if daring her to try something after the bell. But Natalie just drops her hands to her hips and slowly bends leans over panting and gasping for air as the referee steps between them and, pointing across the ring, tells Hunter, "Go to your corner!" Then he takes Natalie's elbow and escorts her five feet to her corner where Dani Fishel had been screaming at Natalie for three minutes waits out of breath, her face flushed.
Needless to say, Hunter King took the 5th round points (wide) without benefit of a knockdown.
R6: Fishel and Peeples working warp speed trying to put Natalie's confidence back together after she'd been dominated as thoroughly as she'd ever had been before in any fight. Trainer Virginia Madsen and General Manager Jennifer Garner visit the corner to deliver messages of support hoping to reinforce Fishel and Peeples' efforts. They're all still yakking at Natalie when the warning buzzer sounds. Across the ring, Neve says, "Time to end this." Pink adds, "Yeah, put her down like a dog."
Hunter fast off the mark, following orders to take advantage of Natalie's fragile mental state, opens with a "Superman Punch" leaping into a dramatic right hand that spins Lind around and nearly sends her to the mat. Natalie stumbling off to her right as Hunter lands behind her on one knee. King turning with her gloves upraised to block any Lind punch, but looking up all she sees is the bouncing pale white globes of Natalie's butt cheeks as she totters to the ropes and falls forward onto them, her arms draped over the top. Hunter rises and saunters confidently up behind Lind, playfully spanks her butt, then grabs her shoulder and turns her around to face her.
Cupping Natalie's chin, Hunter lifts her head, gazes deep into Lind's glazed eyes and realizes she has time to play with her prey before administering the coup-de-grace. Holding Natalie's head in her left palm, Hunter slaps Lind's cheek a couple of times...wanting her awake and aware of what's about to happen to her. She's winding up to punch when Natalie suddenly wraps her arms around Hunter in a Bearhug. They waltz around several seconds until the referee steps in to break them up, pushing Hunter one way and Natalie the other, then clapping his hand and telling them, "Fight!"
Hunter realizes she'd made a mistake playing around when she sees Natalie raise her fists, ready to do battle. Hunter shrugs and charges in, windmilling punches with both hands, chasing Natalie back to the ropes again where she huddles in a peek-a-boo defense while Hunter takes her time lining up more shots to Natalie's rosy red belly. Hunter's master plan is to attack Lind's abs and, so far, she's been sticking to it, and for the most part with success!
Lind pushing Hunter off with both hands, but King presses right back in, putting her chest on Lind, then chugging away to the smooth, red, round, belly of the breathless blonde Canadian. Natalie's blond hair disheveled, and sweaty matted ever since her headband flew off in the opening seconds of this round, and she's constantly having to push it back off her eyes. Hunter taking advantage of every opening, cuffing Natalie upside the head with a right whenever she uses her left hand to brush away the hair from her face!
BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Hunter King, leaning into another right, is dumped on her derriere (French-Canadian for butt) by a quick uppercut from Natalie Lind! King sitting up blinking as the referee shoos Lind away and picks up the count. Hunter forward on all fours, crawling to the ropes which she uses to drag herself to one knee, then to her feet just beating the count out! Her gloves checked, King swaying, her hands up as Natalie sweeps in to finish before Hunter regains her wits.
Natalie slams a straight right to Hunter's forehead, snapping her head back, then a roundhouse right that buckles King's knees and forces Hunter to clinch, wrapping her arms around Natalie's neck, Bearhugging her to her body. Lind pounding King's flanks with both hands, but Hunter takes it in stride, refusing to release Natalie from her Bearhug. Lind wrestling free of King's embrace, shoves the "Ventura Volcano" away and again drives a right cross to Hunter's left ear. King sliding sideways on the ropes, is pursued by Natalie throwing right hand after right hand - most landing - keeping Hunter reeling down the ropes into the Front St. corner where Neve Campbell has been joined by Jewel Kilcher, both screaming at Hunter to clinch. She does.
Natalie wriggles her left hand free and slams two left hooks to the body, doubling Hunter over; hanging on Lind's body with her left arm over Natalie's right shoulder, her left hand cupping the back of Lind's head aided by a handful of loose hair. The referee slaps Hunter's hand down, but doesn't break them apart until the bell rings to end the sixth round. Natalie's knockdown in minute two and subsequent domination of the final minute won her the round (wide), pulling even at 3-3; still trailing in points!
R7: Both corners doing damage control between rounds; seeing their fighter as in position to end it, yet aware the other fighter is landing telling blows of her own. It's anyone's fight!
Natalie out fast hoping to put Hunter away before she's fully recovered from the knockdown. Lind had King set up, but couldn't land a 'go home' punch to end King's unbeaten streak. Natalie's 'all in' this round, come what may. King not as offensively minded as earlier and Lind reads King's body language and decides to take a chance! She rushes in and staggers King with a straight right to begin the seventh, then a solid left hook to Hunter's right breast makes the "Ventura Volcano" erupt with a squeal of pain as she recoils wide-eyed! Natalie takes that as a sign of weakness and rushes to throw another right; but Hunter slips it and answers with her own right to Natalie's belly. That punch stops the Canadian blonde in her tracks, standing still open-mouthed and gasping for air. Hunter throws a quick, off balance left that clips Natalie high on the head, sending her stumbling to her left off balance. Hunter reads it as Lind being hurt and hurries into position to take advantage, paying for her haste when Natalie turns and throws a sweeping left that crashes into Hunter's face!
DOWN SHE GOES! Two angry blondes throwing toe-to-toe at center ring; trading wild punches with little thought of defense until Natalie misses a wild right. As she nearly topples over on follow-thru, her face ends up squarely in front of Hunter's right hand and the impact drops Natalie on her chest! Hunter almost trips over Natalie as she rumbles forward, sprawling into the ropes. She untangles herself and struts away with her arms raised, not bothering to look back at the devastated blonde writhing in her wake.
Natalie tries to sit up, but falls back down as the referee picks up the count. She rolls over and pushes up to her knees, looking bewildered. At last hearing the count, Lind gets to one knee, then at nine she rises and put her hands up in front her. She knows where she is and the referee lets the fight go on. Hunter can't believe Natalie got up... most girls haven't when she's hit them that hard, but Natalie does get up, so Hunter will just have to put her down again - once and for all!
Natalie fighting going backward, buying time to clear her head as King turns hunter, stalking her prey, trying to maneuver Natalie back into a corner where Hunter's had more than her share of success with the less experienced Canadian blond. King setting Natalie up with her left, then using her right to force Lind back and to her left until Natalie's fulsome butt is once more pinned against the turnbuckles - just the way Hunter planned!
King teeing off on Natalie's body, again punishing her suspect mid-section. The soft, smooth, rolling curve of pale skin quickly takes on its familiar rosy red hue as punch after punch slips thru Natalie's defenses. Again, Lind forced to clinch up high, leaving her belly exposed and Hunter takes advantage again, drilling left hooks South of Natalie's cute little belly button. Lind struggling against the older California blond, unable to force her way out of the corner she gets desperate and pushes off the turnbuckles with her butt, her forearm horizontal across Hunter's bosom as she pushes her back.
Hunter is surprised by Natalie's unexpected powerful shove and, with her left hand buried in Lind's belly, she's late to react when Natalie chops a hard right down to the side of Hunter's chin!
DROPPED TO HER KNEES, King can't believe she's been knocked down, not by this blond JMD fighter! She sits back on her heels shaking her head more in disbelief than to clear it. The referee hustles Lind over to the far corner, then returns to Hunter who's already getting back to her feet, sheepishly holding her gloves out for the referee's inspection.
As they resume the fight, Hunter unleashes a whirlwind attack, desperate to show the judges she's unhurt by the knockdown, but Natalie has taken heart from her success and she blocks most of King's punches, and answers with some of her own that find their way past Hunter's defenses to land solidly. Despite her desire to press Natalie, Hunter is forced to back up under the pressure of Natalie's pin-point punching. The girls swap big right hands at the bell and the referee has to jump in to part them as they continue to throw fists after the bell! Judges call this round even, with each getting a knockdown. The margin remains razor thin after seven give-and-take rounds as the momentum pendulum swings wildly back and forth.
R8: Campbell-Peeples joined by Kilcher; all talking at once in King's corner, clear evidence their unbeaten beauty is struggling against the bulky blonde Canadian with Lind refusing to bend the knee. Hunter shaking her head at one point, nodding agreement another. Her California tanned body glistens with perspiration when she stands at the warning buzzer. Natalie Lind gets last minute tips from Fishel and Peoples... even Madsen puts in her 2 cents worth, then spanks Natalie's butt at the bell.
Two determined young blondes square off for the eighth time in the fight, each determined to show the other who's the top female dog! And that "top dog" turns out to be Hunter King as she feints the right to get Natalie looking left, then catches the Canuck with the left hook! Lind shaken, then SHE'S HURT by the right cross catching her clean on the jaw. Natalie staggers rubber-legged backward with King in hot pursuit. Two lefts and a right puts Natalie's round rump between the ropes, her upper body tilted forward behind gloves clinched at her cheeks.
Hunter hammering Natalie with both fists; Lind's body rippling and rolling as punches slam into it as she slides in a low crouch along the ropes while Hunter, standing straight upright, pounds down at her fast-fading foe. Natalie reaching out, grabbing King by the hips and pulling her to her; Natalie wrapping Hunter up around the waist, her right cheek against King's right hip. Referee struggling to pry them apart, finally gets Linds hands unclasped and pushes them apart; gives Natalie a finger wagging warning and steps away.
Hunter smiling as she closes in behind a series of left jabs that buffet Natalie's head, bouncing it back as she chases her around the ring. Natalie, fighting backing up, can't land any significant punches, but her main interest is in staying on her feet and avoiding additional damage until she can regroup. But Hunter King isn't going to give her a chance to do that; unleashing the hound of Hell on Natalie as she stalks her! Lind is cornered once again and fights back in desperation, throwing uppercuts. One lands flush on the point of Hunter's chin and... King's hurt!
Hunter rocked by an uppercut staggers, backing up in wide-eyed surprise. Natalie coming out of the corner throwing, lands another left hook, right cross combination and Hunter's forced to clinch, wrapping her arms around Natalie's shoulders. Lind shrugs her off and slams a left-right-left to King's body, then drops a huge overhand right on Hunter's cheek that buckles her legs, then a left hook to the head drops Hunter King to her knees, stunned.
The referee in quickly, points Natalie to the corner, then counts over Hunter King. Hunter looking up at the ref as he counts, nodding along with each number. She rises at eight and acknowledges him, then he steps back and Natalie moves in. Hunter pumping out her jab to keep Lind at bay, but Natalie walks thru it, throws a huge right that buckles King's knees and, again, Hunter's forced to clinch. Lind bashing both flanks with her fists, then steps back and shoots another uppercut up the middle that snaps King's head back!
Hunter rocked back onto the ropes, settling her butt on the middle one, gloves at her head. Overhand right swivels Hunter's head to the side, then a left hook spins her around. King leans into Natalie who quickly shoves her back and rams a straight right between Hunter's gloves that smashes her nose flat and throws her head backward! Hunter King's legs turn to jelly and she drops straight down to puddle at Natalie's feet.
Lind, looking surprised, steps over Hunter's body, raises her arms and struts away, leaving King on her left hip, not moving, in her wake. The referee watches Hunter struggle to rise, then fall back. She tries again and just makes it to her feet after nine, but as she sways unsteadily, he waves off the rest of the fight and wraps his arms around her. Hunter started fast but over the long haul, Natalie Lind proved she had the ability to endure and overcome. The knockdown in minute two set King up for Natalie to finish her off in minute three. Natalie Lind wins by a TKO8 (referee stops fight).
After: Dani Fishel was 3-0 against Neve Campbell as a fighter and now her protege, Natalie Alyn Lind, has taken Neve's star pupil to the woodshed, upsetting previously undefeated Hunter King. Neve's going to have to work to resurrect Hunter's reputation while Natalie suddenly looks like she could become a force in the bantam ranks. At least she's certainly jumbled the top ten with her upset win!
"I'm stronger than her, I'm better than her, and I'm more resilient than her," Natalie boasted in postfight. "I took her best in the first half of the fight. But once I realized she couldn't really hurt me, I kept my head and worked my way back into the fight. I took advantage of a couple of things Dani and Nia saw on video and had been drilling into me in the last few weeks. This fight proves Hunter's no longer King of the Bantams.... I'm going to make Hunter my little fairy princess and if she's foolish enough to step in a ring with me again, I'll own her ass!"
"I had her on the ropes several times," Hunter asserted to the media. "I was sure she was finished and was about to go. You all saw it, she was in trouble from the start. If I hadn't made the mistake of easing up and let her off the hook, she'd have been flat on her fat ass in the second round. No way I can let this result stand... that KO was a fluke ...a one in a million lucky punch. She's ruined my hopes for a Marciano-like career record, but I want an immediate rematch. This blemish... this STAIN... on my reputation will NOT stand and she's not getting away without me setting things right."
