AMANDA RIGHETTI (Welterweight Champion) (36 y/o, 5 ft 8, W: 94, L: 28) vs CAMILLE KOSTEK (27 y/o, 5 ft 8, W: 9, L: 4)
Results: Lookout!, Writing: Bonzo
Before: Intra-stable fights have been rare at Bonzo‘s Gym – the last time there was significant trouble was the hated, heated trio fight between Bonzo and TU members Righetti, Bjorlin and Berkley back in 2010. That alone makes Camille Kostek – who only made her debut in March 2018 and now has less than fifteen fights under her belt – and her challenge to reigning welterweight champion and stable leader, Amanda Righetti, quite the event. With the division‘s other competition put away after a series of stunning title defenses, Righetti‘s been pretty much forced to take a look at her young blonde stablemate. After victories over both the new guard (Tahnee Atkinson) and the old guard (Cassidy Freeman, Mandy Moore), Kostek‘s arrived at the very top of the division, and could certainly lay some claim to being a worthy No. 1 contender for Righetti‘s title. Naturally, stable officials have tried to squash ANY rumours of Kostek challenging Righetti‘s status as the stable‘s top dog, but during her pre-fight interview, there‘s no doubt that Camille‘s hungry, motivated and pretty confident about this title fight:
“This is a huge chance for me,“ Camille elaborates. “I‘ve beaten Tahnee and Cassidy who have both knocked out Amanda in the past, so yeah, I don‘t see myself as an underdog! This fight‘s taking place on the beach, and I think that favours me more than a regular canvas. On the sand, I can really use my stamina, youth and physicality to get a grind on Amanda, wear her out, pound that chassis to quit!“ Camille smiles, then stresses her friendship with Big Rigs: “Of course, Amanda‘s also my total role model, and I‘ve learned so much from her in sparring throughout the last year. But I can‘t be starstruck in the ring, though. I need to use everything I‘ve learned in the past year. I mean, this is the fight that could bring me to the top of the world, right? I hope we‘ll still be friends after I take her title away!“, she notes with a smirk.
What does Righetti think about her stablemate‘s challenge, especially on the beach?
“Well, I have to admit that it‘s been a while since I‘ve fought on the beach, but I wanted to use that extra kick, that extra challenge! Beach fights take double stamina. Beach fights can destroy girls‘s hearts. I know that because Taylor Cole once broke my fighter‘s heart on the beach. But that was, like, more than ten years ago, right? Cam knows me pretty well, but I don‘t think she‘s quite aware of how brutal, how ruthless I can be in the ring nowadays, stablemate or not. Cam‘s packing a punch, sure. She‘s got such a hot, luscious, strong bod – and every hot inch of it‘s gonna get churned, baby. Churned and spanked.“
Girls smile as they shake hands, sleeveless muscular arms flashing, stand toe-to-toe for the staredown – there‘s an air of professional respect, and A LOT of competitiveness. There‘s a post-staredown hug between the stablemates, but even that feels a little too muscular, competitive!
Coincidently, this will be Amanda‘s seventh title defense: that honour would equal Ali Landry‘s legendary 2001 record for most welterweight title defenses. To spice things up, FCBA organizers have asked Ali Landry herself to ref the fight. What does Ali think about tonight‘s fight?
“Oh, Camille‘s still raw and a little wild. And that‘s also her biggest chance. I think Amanda‘s taking a huge risk agreeing to a fight on sand for her title. It‘s gotta be a much more unorthodox fight that way. There‘s no doubt about who‘s the favourite, but yeah, Cam could definitely shock the world, no doubt about it.“ Would Ali be sad to see her record equalled, possibly eclipsed at a later day? “Nah. I‘ll happily share that record with her,“ she smiles. “Ask me again when there‘s an eighth defense, though, yes?“
Fight night attire: Hot Sports Illustrated challenger Camille‘s clad in a dark red one-piece swimsuit, a ribbon around those luscious hips/waist (as per catwalk photo reference), dark black boots, blonde hair loose n‘ flowing – Amanda‘s a in cut-off jeans trunks, black bikini top, her hair in a braid, white boots.
Fight: R1: Girls getting used to fighting on sand, looking for angles to throw jabs, turn flanks, establish a rhythm – just some pivots to feel out tempo, some hops to test power behind shots, some missed angles/throws. After early warm-up: FLASHY displays of power, stamina from Camille: she‘s stepping into Righetti hands low, slipping the inevitable hard right from Amanda‘s shoulder with a short, sneaky left to redhead jaw that has Rigs sputtering out of her stance, slightly outta balance! Amanda backs off, her legs/feet mobile, but saving energy: hard, stomping jabs to Cam‘s tits from reverse gear, thump-thump, get blonde‘s respect, allow Righetti to regroup. Smart veteran clinchwork from Righetti to dose Kostek‘s fire, motivation – blonde Cam‘s lunging into aggressive shotwork, swinging left/rights atop ‘Manda‘s hairline/temples...Righetti reaches for her from ropes, pulling blonde‘s head down, tying up behind elbows, staying strong in the grasp as Kostek writhes her shoulders to get free.
Some good looks for Cam throughout first minute: short, tucking shots to ‘Manda‘s ribs/tummy up close, cramping up Righetti‘s legs – Amanda punishes her for the intrusions, the short, straight, hard-left off ropes very precise, munching on Cam‘s mouth/cheeks time and again. Kostek realises the danger, slows down across minute two: Amanda‘s getting used to the sand‘s rhythm, bringing full force/shoulders into double, triple jabs now! Kostek caught off-balance, on back foot repeatedly, touched to jaw strongly a few times – ‘Manda‘s wrapping her up post-shot, pressing weight down and making blonde feel the heat/power, just bulling Camille to ropes for short breaks.
Third minute sees Kostek pretty passive, in respect of Amanda‘s smart beach comeback: just lots of feinting hops/lunges, no clean shots from blonde as Righetti ducks, slips the swingers, times the short jabs and hefty hip-powered counter uppercuts, then ties up, controlling Kostek in calm, pro fashion. That‘s the stop-‘n-go action, Righetti: double, triple jabs, counter uppercuts, physical clinches – a rare combo CLEANS UP on blonde late as ‘Manda brings in a long right cross off the jab (to mouth), a left hook to the bod (to tits)...and Cam‘s back-pedalling, disengaging, eyes betraying shock!
R2: Kostek‘s retrieving the hunger, motivation after break: wild, swinging lefts/rights graze atop the Righetti hairline, as blonde‘s head and torso bobs start reading Amanda‘s counter shots a little better – Camille‘s getting inside and taking less damage to achieve that position! Amanda‘s always negotiating her stance, still using the short, pumping jab against Cam‘s slippin‘, duckin‘ head, landing good, lickin‘ shots on her blonde (mouth, neck, temple) until Kostek‘s sizzling thru. Fiercely contested inside battle-sites: girls placed shoulder to shoulder, pivoting slowly, arms groping down on opposite shoulders, repositioning each other – once Cam‘s gotten past Amanda‘s jab, she‘s employing a dip n‘ punch strategy, ripping short, steady lefts/rights to ‘Manda‘s ribs/flanks, before girls fall in together. Short, heavy leather to Righetti‘s tummy tenses redhead up, bunches her up hurt on the spot: she‘s relying on the hard jab, big lefty uppercut to get Kostek disengaging – but Cam‘s relentless, walking back and again into the fray, showing good jawline stamina and reading that ever dangerous jab lefty better and better!
Late second minute: Kostek‘s head a-weavin‘, dukes at cheek, slips Righetti‘s first two jabs, absorbs the third to jaw, leans inside for hard, thumping right to boobs/upper ribs. Amanda rides out the shot wide-legged, balancing herself: Cam‘s stepping in, wrapping up around redhead shoulder, bulling the champ to ropes – no clean punches, but lots of good, strong hip/torso twists by Camille, securing Amanda‘s weight against ropes for a bit. Righetti‘s head‘s resting on Kostek‘s left shoulder, as Cam‘s wriggling an arm free, jostling a right hand deep into Amanda‘s paunch, causing tensed shudders – the champ‘s throwing scowling looks to Ali. Where‘s Ali? She‘s right there, enjoying it: “Come on, ‘Manda – it‘s a beach fight! Get out yourself“, she smirks.
Strong, pushy shoves, jostles finally do the job: pinging jab between Kostek‘s eyes gets a little payback – Amanda wants to fight off the jab, side-stepping Kostek, but the heavy sand‘s damping her footwork, sees her bogged down in more clinches. More rippin‘ shots to Righetti‘s tummy: that sleight, curved hook deep into the champ‘s ribs before girls fall together‘s a huge part of Camille‘s strategy tonight, cramping Righetti up time and again – ‘Manda‘s scowling, riding a left arm down Kostek‘s right shoulder, as girls step back and forth. Girls riding it out down the stretch, fighting messy, close: lots of shoves, pushing, arms clinging and pressing down, and Cam‘s a little hungrier, committed, getting Righetti‘s butt/back against ropes more often than not.
Bell: “Do your job, Ali!“, Amanda commands. “You need to use ya legs, girl,“ Ali quips back.
R3: Gritty beach battle: girls stand ground, plant and pitch, sloshing toe-to-toe trade on the spot – Righetti uses her power to shunt her blonde foe into position, palm up on shoulders, then feed her the rippin‘ body cross to lower back/pecs. Camille slugs back: blonde‘s dipping torso left, right from Amanda‘s trade, brushing a fat wide right across Righetti‘s shoulderblade, a jerky, little left uppercut above her hip. ‘Manda‘s more precise via her jab up top, sprucing up to Cam‘s pretty face, hitting teeth, sparking a split in blonde‘s lower lip – both girls favouring brawn over legs, standing long inside pocket. First minute favours Righetti as the legendary jab gets on top, the flowing right hand bruising Cam‘s famed rack – Amanda‘s explosive, as her precise rhythm grinds her challenger into reluctant, bruised retreats.
Early second min: Kostek answers with a more mobile stance, her legs hop-bopping...then a dramatic rise out of a low crouch – hard, pounding, flat right thumps to redhead solarplexus, followed by sudden overhead (left) hook upside Righetti‘s head, staggering the champ! Wobbly-butt moments for Righetti: she steps out to ropes, feet wide apart, jolting hectic jabs – Cam steps into her via a lunging, ripping left cross to tummy, then sneaks in a right uppercut behind Amanda‘s elbow. Righetti steps out of the ropes low, wrapping around Cam‘s waist, driving her to mid-ring. Blonde pushes down on her head, as girls wrestle for control, complaining “She‘s tying up, ref!“ to Ali. Ref-Ali‘s unfazed: “She‘s smart, Cam.“
Third minute: Righetti‘s still alongside apron, proving stamina, defense – good reactions, spearing body jabs prevent full sieges. Thumping pressure on Big Rigs‘ flanks, ribs piles up: long right hooks to tummy, thick shots behind the elbows! Late down the stretch: sand permitting easy, long clinches, changing range management – Amanda‘s pretty pushy n‘ shovy, pulling down Kostek‘s arms, head, bulling her blonde, reversing positions on sheer strength. Cam‘s bytchy, feeling strong, loudly demands breaks from Ali: “Let me work her over, girl!“
R4: The Amanda Righetti weapon factory: jab, jab, jab! Early offensive sees her ripping it in double, triples, usually catching a bendy, dipping Cam at some point, and then landing thuds! Cam‘s trying to grind thru, head dipping side to side, weaving inside via the bendy, spinning hook to tummy again – she‘s catching hard spank to face, Amanda‘s left as Righetti re-positions, side-steps left. Kostek‘s negotating, back-pedalling, feinting big punches left/right to bridge range: Amanda doesn‘t buy it, times a short jab instead, sponging it to Cam‘s mouth, guh-oh – blonde‘s fleshy thighs tremble, legs stomp for balance. Another hard left to neck, and ‘Manda‘s wrapping up, coaxing her blonde ropeside, staying on top via hips thrust. Late first minute: big blonde‘s forming peek-a-boo, riding atop rope – sock, sock, sock go Amanda‘s hard jab, jab, right cross combos, bashing away to sides of Camille‘s skull as blonde‘s hot body slowly rocks, absorbs, trembles. Sudden, swoosh (left) uppercut from Kostek‘s left shoulder – Righetti dips n‘ slips, corking a short upside right below Camille‘s jawline! Left arm rides down Kostek‘s right shoulder, then secures her arm – jerky, brutal jolts to Camille‘s proud rack bunch blonde up with a grunt, blubbering protest.
Mid-round: Cam‘s rushing, swooshing across sand left/right, young energy bursting out – hands low, she‘s stepping into Righetti‘s range, slips the first jab, slips the second jab, eats the third jab, still buries a hot shot lefty uppercut under Amanda‘s chin! She‘s got Big Rigs‘ legs rocked, pivoting out, reforming stance! Low-action minute as girls circle, walk into clinches before punches connect – lots of clingin‘, tyin‘ up as girls push for strength, blow up hot in each other‘s faces, gettin‘ toe-to-toe. Ali smiles, gets in to break late: “Don‘t catfight, girls.“
Last minute: Righetti‘s jab spanking off Camille‘s face, upping the damage Cam‘s taken before getting inside, shutting her out more and more – doube, triple jabs, as Amanda circles clock-wise, sometimes following up via the (jab, jab) right cross, or a short, jolty left uppercut when Cam‘s in range. No pastin‘, but all those jabs to mouth have got Cam a little gun-shy, hopping, covering up, backing up in face of Righetti‘s hard, spanking left. Atmosphere‘s getting a little frosty right there at the bell, as Cam‘s looking for eye contact, staying up on Righetti – redhead‘s unimpressed, shuffling blonde‘s shoulder out the way. “Better slip the jab to get her respect,“ Ali smiles, blocks Cam‘s further advances.
R5: Sandy, sweaty, moist battle of attrition – Camille‘s moving left away from Amanda‘s driving poke, then edging in via her left shoulder, muscling up on Righetti inside. ‘Manda adopts stance, going toe-to-toe: girls stand in the pocket, leaning tummy against tummy, pivoting around, a-pumpin‘– mostly guttin‘, swattin‘ hooks across the opposing tummy mound, dramatic little uppercuts clipped from the hips, looking for skull. Steady legs, mobile hips/torso: hard right to stomach, slippy left uppercut to chin – girls plant and pitch at the same time, both landing thuds. Plenty of totter as girls rumble-tumble to sides, re-grouping: eyes wide and intense, Kostek‘s the first to rush back in, feints a long jab, stops, triggers Righetti‘s straight left, then leans inside, SCRUBBING a hard, rippin‘ (right) uppercut against Amanda‘s left ear/skull. Moist sand‘s roughed up Righetti‘s footwork – she‘s all leg-jammed n‘ rickety from the shot, gets wrapped up hard by blonde‘s greedy, bull-strong arms, shoved violently against ropes!
Step-out, step-in, Kostek: hard, swooshing right curls to ‘Manda‘s teeth, slumps her – Righetti‘s covering up, folding a little off ropes, torso sloshed back-and-forth from Cam‘s pitching hooks against her flanks, lower back. Feet wide, breezy hook to jugs, Camille – dip, short right to tits, Amanda...half-slidin‘ step back, Cam, barely tugs her head away from Righetti‘s lungin‘ righty...girls fall in, walking, stumbling...and Cam‘s bulling back on top, reversing positions, dominating the clinch as ‘Manda eases her head on blonde‘s left shoulder, struggling to hold hips against Kostek‘s bullish drive.
Mid-round scenes: girls pitching to-and-fro at various locations, Camille slowly getting better angles, top position – Righetti‘s brawny back‘s propped ropeward, right across face, left at tummy as Kostek‘s shrugging short rights across the tits, flanks, pushing strongly off Amanda‘s shoulders. Her arms pulling blonde‘s head down, a solid grip around the waist as ‘Manda does what she can to ease the pressure – Camille‘s broad, sweaty back glistens under the beach sun, her back dipping left/right, right/left as her rhythmic, strong, sturdy belts pound away at the champ‘s torso.
Down the stretch: Amanda‘s getting leggier, slippin‘ n‘ rollin‘ more shots on supple hips as Kostek‘s swatting big, straight, ram bam punches in her pursuit. Overhand right, Camille: Righetti dips, slips, swoops the short righty uppercut to Cam‘s teeth from ropes – Kostek pounds back a left/right crusher dangerously close atop ‘Manda‘s jeans trunks. Bell: Righetti shout-sobs from shot, blurting a protest to ref-Ali. “Nah – no low shot,“ Ali rules assuredly.
R6: Sun burning hot, as girls ooze hotness, sweat – no doubt, the fight‘s getting more heated, too! Girls attempt leggy openings, stiff jabs pumping as they circle, pivot in and out of range – Cam‘s wide-eyed, sometimes accompanying her punches with little snarls, shouts, breaths while Righetti stays intense, less dramatic. Brisk, sudden combinations: hard jab, jab, right cross going pik-pik-PAK on Amanda‘s toned tummy, cramping her up again – the champ‘s hard-nosed counter righty hisses by Cam‘s startled face, stroking just by. Thirty seconds in, a battle of attrition as legs slow, girls start GRINDING for control – long leaning punches thudding hard (tummy, jawlines) as girls fall together, then work hard inside the grasp to muscle, drive the other girl back, ram some punches to paunch, tits. Bruisin‘ stuff from Camille as blonde seems hungrier, more aggressive: hard lefts/rights bump to Righetti‘s shoulderblade, above her trunks, pound her off balance, cramping her up, jamming those famed legs, bull-rushing her into defensive positions. Another short pound atop the trunks to tummy: „guu-uuh“, ‘Manda‘s lips part, exhale in pain, leaning her shoulder atop Cam‘s, walk-rushing her back to mid-ring. Kostek‘s always working inside the clinch, wriggling shoulders to free, pound violently at Righetti‘s inviting flanks/back as girls stumble/walk.
Mid-round scenes: both girls busy, baby-stepping on the sand – Cam‘s shouting with effort as she tucks in a trio of throbbing close-contact shots to Amanda‘s lower back, as redhead torso squirms on impact. Edging her left shoulder forward, Righetti‘s manoeuvering Kostek into a better position, picking Cam‘s face up gorgeously via short, mean (left) uppercut! Girls stay inside, but look at the drowse in Kostek‘s eyes – she‘s hurt! Girls tumble ropeside, with Righetti rushing on top – hard straights pancake Camille‘s rack, upper torso twisting side-to-side for thumping leverage against Kostek‘s jugs, meaty hips. Cam counters: she stays compact, using good, bruising inside punches against Amanda‘s skull, mouth – clout beats Righetti to mouth/nose, has her leaning back out.
Last minute: girls laying mouths on shoulders, using shoulder bumps to wriggle free of grips/clinches, hoping to land the short, jolt uppercut first. Better sand footwork for Camille: elegant hop-hop pivot to back/right, she walks Amanda into a short tricky right over the redhead‘s left, jamming left ear! Kostek‘s leaning low for a lunging left to paunch, rises for short, sweeping hook across the mouth – she‘s got Big Rigs stumbling, hunching for ropeside retreat. Just before bell: Camille‘s fighting off Righetti‘s chest, sucking in short, heavy punches at Amanda‘s guard (either side of skull), tucking in hooks across the jugs.
Corner breakdowns after six: “You‘ve got Rigs in risky territory, Cam,“ Nadia Bjorlin (in Cam‘s corner!) announces. “That jab ain‘t working, she‘s a little slow on the sand. You can win this on points, girl, but don‘t trust it. Better use one of those clinches for a good, rippin‘ uppercut, then punch her sleepy n‘ out!“ – opposite them, Milena Govich advises Amanda: “This is the beach fight you knew you were gonna get, girl! Class wins fights on sand, too, though. Go to your reserves to get that jab going, finally get some time on her at the ropes.“
Meanwhile, ref Ali‘s dictating things into press microphones: “I‘m surprised Amanda‘s jab‘s so ineffective on the beach. I really wish I fought her on the beach back in the day, man – that woulda been something!“
R7: Hard, gritty battles for control as girls circle counter-clockwise, short stubby jabs feinting, pumping: Amanda commits first, pounds a long mean jab into Cam‘s tummy, leaning low – Kostek grunts, twitching up from shot, then brushes back the short, violent right, narrowly missing Amanda‘s hairline, EATS the torquing righty hook as ‘Manda rises back up, wraps up a tumbling blonde hands-around-hips, bull-rushing her to ropes. Short, stomping thuds to Cam‘s skull, left and right – blonde‘s open-mouthed, tremblin‘ and hunchin‘, hands either side of face, as Righetti pounds away... a brutal, piercing jab/straight stings to Camille‘s hairline, rocking her head up, as ‘Manda circles back out. Camille‘s eyes betraying a startled look as she regroups, heavy upper body heaving with effort as she dips it left/right, up/down, trying to close range again: STOMPING jab, Amanda‘s left shoulder, as redhead steps left, left, steering her blonde out of step, as heavy thuds land to hairline, temples, shoulders.
Camille digs in, takes enormous, thudding damage to get into range, scrubs away to Amanda‘s flanks/belly when she‘s finally inside but pretty soon girls tie up, wrap around, wrassle for position, broad backs glistening under muscular efforts. Righetti‘s starting to control Camille a little better throughout clinches, ropeside battlegrounds: she‘s getting her shoulders/arms down on blonde, making her take weight – Cam‘s reactions laten a bit as damage mounts, and ‘Manda‘s palming up on her shoulders, smudging her face via fast, coaxing jabs when Ali finally breaks.
Mid-round: Righetti‘s got the jab flowing, dictating range, tempo, sliding back when she has to, pumping it in hard, stubby rhythms when Cam‘s ripe. Kostek still gets a moment atop, at ropes: wild, brushing right cross past ‘Manda‘s left side pumps to Righetti‘s sternum, slumps her out of position. Trio of jolting, licking body uppercuts to Amanda‘s jugs as redhead stumbles for balance: tight, hard-eyed defense, Amanda, back against ropes – dukes up, she‘s absorbing more shots to forearms/lower back, then twitching back short, stubby jabs to Camille‘s eyes, dipping for hard, thumping shots against Kostek‘s meaty hips/flanks. Too much damage for blonde when she‘s supposed to be on top, a-siegin‘: Camille‘s legs start to sashay away, breaking the siege – Amanda‘s immediately stepping in, wrapping up around her, driving her mid-ring as girls struggle to step/hop on moist, heavy sand. Righetti‘s now the active, hungry fighter inside these clinches, HER shoulders dictating the way Camille stumbles, as girls‘s arms/backs are entwined, muscles straining. “Don‘t fall asleep, girl,“ Ali snarls as she breaks, demanding more activity from Camille.
Last minute: Righetti extending on the jab, works in more flat-footed fashion, pounding away, as Kostek‘s frustrated, unable to hold her stance, just no longer weaving inside/outside Amanda‘s strong lefty well – squaring away, Righetti‘s keeping Camille pinned ropeside, left bashing to (right) biceps/shoulder, then spearing one throbbing right hand into Cam‘s jugs, ribs after another! Fast, alert head/body dips, reactions from Righetti to absorb those wild, chop-chop counters, grinding to stay on top at various positions: redhead‘s hips swivel left/right, arching her back to shrug hooks across Camille‘s meaty frame, licking up and beneath her elbows. Short, shrugging left hook/right hook combo throbs to Kostek‘s jugs, ribs, leaves blonde mouth-breathing, gaspin‘ all wobbly-butt!
Just before bell: a hard, parallel left misses a dippin‘ Righetti‘s head, a short, shrugged righty misses her duckin‘ hairline – Amanda‘s short answer lefty DOESN‘T miss Camille‘s teeth, folds her into a crouch, side-stepping all out of balance...Ali jumps in at bell, stabilizes Kostek‘s trembling shoulders in ref‘s hug as Cam‘s eyes flicker in confusion.
R8: Short, hard confrontation sets the tone: Camille steps out, lunges out, misses range on sand, as her brushing lefty hook sails up short, not reaching redhead mouth when Righetti‘s torso dips back – as Kostek‘s still off her balance, Amanda SMITES her wide, right hand uppercut between the blonde‘s eyes/forehead! Eyes roll up, torso staggers, buttocks a-ringin‘ - it‘s a wonder Camille‘s still standing as blonde‘s meaty legs absorb the shocking sock! Righetti dips low, to blonde‘s chest height, tucks a smart, swooshing hook beneath Kostek‘s crossed arms (left side), tucks it to waist (right side), further cramping up her blonde. Wild-throwin‘ counter overhead uppercut, Camille – Righetti ducks inside, her left shoulderblade clocking HARD to blonde‘s mouth on contact, then wraps up beneath Cam‘s arms, bulls her backward. After Ali‘s break: a limber totter in Camille‘s strong legs, clearly rickety, slowing – loose rhythmic jabs, Amanda, big right hands land to tummy/jugs.
Thirty seconds in, Kostek hits ropes, her mouth open, lips parted, torso oddly tilting left/right: blonde‘s hands placed aside temples, riding her butt against ropes to stabilize – Righetti looms large, her broad back muscles sweaty, as she gets to work! Good, cuffing hooks at Camille‘s ears soften blonde up, hard righties inside to ribs, just atop swimsuit bottom, tense up Kostek‘s ribs, redden her tummy – ‘Manda‘s in a loose stance, stepping in n‘ out, as Camille slowly slides alongside the apron. Short jab to mouth, hard right to tummy, Righetti‘s stock combo tonight – hard right to tummy gets shouts, gasps, lil‘ torso lolls from Camille – she‘s just getting pummeled! Cold-hearted looks, Amanda, to ref-Ali on the right: but Ali ain‘t willing to stop this thing! Righetti stops hoppin‘...her stance‘s flat-footed, more brutal, stays on Camille at one position now: jab tik-toks to Cam‘s jawline like a lil‘ sledgehammer, tik-tok – wide, swinging roundhouse righties sloshes big to flanks/jugs as Cam‘s folding into a forward cringe, helpless, not tying up!
Just inside first minute: Amanda jabs to left jawline, throws a right cross to cheek/ear – left jab to temple, righty spears below the jugs! Pretty blue eyes go clickety-clack and shut as meaty legs finally give way – Camille stumbles forward in a daze, making a stranded step or two out of ropes, then sinks down slowly! Camille wilts onto her haunches in the sand, groaning – she finally tosses onto her belly, mouth on sand, starts crawling a couple inches forward. Right elbow props up, fleshy buttocks rise, she‘s on all fours, panting hard...she‘s too friggin‘ paralyzed to make it further! Ali counts out a trembling, moist-eyed Camille – that‘s a sweaty, sandy beach knockout, her SEVENTH title defense, her NINETEENTH straight win – and she‘s STILL welterweight champion of the world, KO8 Amanda Righetti!
After: Amanda raises her arm in triumph, breathing hard and staring down on her fallen victim. Tonight‘s battle was as hard and competitive as expected: Camille‘s stamina and physicality was a big test for Amanda, but a late surge was enough to decide this battle between the two stablemates. After the count, Amanda‘s helping Camille up, hugging, consoling her as both girls‘ temper cools down after heated exchanges during the fight. “She‘s good, man,“ Amanda smirks during her post-fight interview. “She better be after a year of sparring with me in the gym! I know this is going to be a huge disappointment for her, but she‘s going to be up for the title again, no doubt, and unless I‘m the one across the ring again, she just might clinch it next time, haha!“
What does Amanda think about equalling that welter record? “It's a huge honour! But I don't really feel like sharing that honour...so the work's not really done yet, right?"

Before: Intra-stable fights have been rare at Bonzo‘s Gym – the last time there was significant trouble was the hated, heated trio fight between Bonzo and TU members Righetti, Bjorlin and Berkley back in 2010. That alone makes Camille Kostek – who only made her debut in March 2018 and now has less than fifteen fights under her belt – and her challenge to reigning welterweight champion and stable leader, Amanda Righetti, quite the event. With the division‘s other competition put away after a series of stunning title defenses, Righetti‘s been pretty much forced to take a look at her young blonde stablemate. After victories over both the new guard (Tahnee Atkinson) and the old guard (Cassidy Freeman, Mandy Moore), Kostek‘s arrived at the very top of the division, and could certainly lay some claim to being a worthy No. 1 contender for Righetti‘s title. Naturally, stable officials have tried to squash ANY rumours of Kostek challenging Righetti‘s status as the stable‘s top dog, but during her pre-fight interview, there‘s no doubt that Camille‘s hungry, motivated and pretty confident about this title fight:
“This is a huge chance for me,“ Camille elaborates. “I‘ve beaten Tahnee and Cassidy who have both knocked out Amanda in the past, so yeah, I don‘t see myself as an underdog! This fight‘s taking place on the beach, and I think that favours me more than a regular canvas. On the sand, I can really use my stamina, youth and physicality to get a grind on Amanda, wear her out, pound that chassis to quit!“ Camille smiles, then stresses her friendship with Big Rigs: “Of course, Amanda‘s also my total role model, and I‘ve learned so much from her in sparring throughout the last year. But I can‘t be starstruck in the ring, though. I need to use everything I‘ve learned in the past year. I mean, this is the fight that could bring me to the top of the world, right? I hope we‘ll still be friends after I take her title away!“, she notes with a smirk.
What does Righetti think about her stablemate‘s challenge, especially on the beach?
“Well, I have to admit that it‘s been a while since I‘ve fought on the beach, but I wanted to use that extra kick, that extra challenge! Beach fights take double stamina. Beach fights can destroy girls‘s hearts. I know that because Taylor Cole once broke my fighter‘s heart on the beach. But that was, like, more than ten years ago, right? Cam knows me pretty well, but I don‘t think she‘s quite aware of how brutal, how ruthless I can be in the ring nowadays, stablemate or not. Cam‘s packing a punch, sure. She‘s got such a hot, luscious, strong bod – and every hot inch of it‘s gonna get churned, baby. Churned and spanked.“
Girls smile as they shake hands, sleeveless muscular arms flashing, stand toe-to-toe for the staredown – there‘s an air of professional respect, and A LOT of competitiveness. There‘s a post-staredown hug between the stablemates, but even that feels a little too muscular, competitive!
Coincidently, this will be Amanda‘s seventh title defense: that honour would equal Ali Landry‘s legendary 2001 record for most welterweight title defenses. To spice things up, FCBA organizers have asked Ali Landry herself to ref the fight. What does Ali think about tonight‘s fight?
“Oh, Camille‘s still raw and a little wild. And that‘s also her biggest chance. I think Amanda‘s taking a huge risk agreeing to a fight on sand for her title. It‘s gotta be a much more unorthodox fight that way. There‘s no doubt about who‘s the favourite, but yeah, Cam could definitely shock the world, no doubt about it.“ Would Ali be sad to see her record equalled, possibly eclipsed at a later day? “Nah. I‘ll happily share that record with her,“ she smiles. “Ask me again when there‘s an eighth defense, though, yes?“
Fight night attire: Hot Sports Illustrated challenger Camille‘s clad in a dark red one-piece swimsuit, a ribbon around those luscious hips/waist (as per catwalk photo reference), dark black boots, blonde hair loose n‘ flowing – Amanda‘s a in cut-off jeans trunks, black bikini top, her hair in a braid, white boots.
Fight: R1: Girls getting used to fighting on sand, looking for angles to throw jabs, turn flanks, establish a rhythm – just some pivots to feel out tempo, some hops to test power behind shots, some missed angles/throws. After early warm-up: FLASHY displays of power, stamina from Camille: she‘s stepping into Righetti hands low, slipping the inevitable hard right from Amanda‘s shoulder with a short, sneaky left to redhead jaw that has Rigs sputtering out of her stance, slightly outta balance! Amanda backs off, her legs/feet mobile, but saving energy: hard, stomping jabs to Cam‘s tits from reverse gear, thump-thump, get blonde‘s respect, allow Righetti to regroup. Smart veteran clinchwork from Righetti to dose Kostek‘s fire, motivation – blonde Cam‘s lunging into aggressive shotwork, swinging left/rights atop ‘Manda‘s hairline/temples...Righetti reaches for her from ropes, pulling blonde‘s head down, tying up behind elbows, staying strong in the grasp as Kostek writhes her shoulders to get free.
Some good looks for Cam throughout first minute: short, tucking shots to ‘Manda‘s ribs/tummy up close, cramping up Righetti‘s legs – Amanda punishes her for the intrusions, the short, straight, hard-left off ropes very precise, munching on Cam‘s mouth/cheeks time and again. Kostek realises the danger, slows down across minute two: Amanda‘s getting used to the sand‘s rhythm, bringing full force/shoulders into double, triple jabs now! Kostek caught off-balance, on back foot repeatedly, touched to jaw strongly a few times – ‘Manda‘s wrapping her up post-shot, pressing weight down and making blonde feel the heat/power, just bulling Camille to ropes for short breaks.
Third minute sees Kostek pretty passive, in respect of Amanda‘s smart beach comeback: just lots of feinting hops/lunges, no clean shots from blonde as Righetti ducks, slips the swingers, times the short jabs and hefty hip-powered counter uppercuts, then ties up, controlling Kostek in calm, pro fashion. That‘s the stop-‘n-go action, Righetti: double, triple jabs, counter uppercuts, physical clinches – a rare combo CLEANS UP on blonde late as ‘Manda brings in a long right cross off the jab (to mouth), a left hook to the bod (to tits)...and Cam‘s back-pedalling, disengaging, eyes betraying shock!
R2: Kostek‘s retrieving the hunger, motivation after break: wild, swinging lefts/rights graze atop the Righetti hairline, as blonde‘s head and torso bobs start reading Amanda‘s counter shots a little better – Camille‘s getting inside and taking less damage to achieve that position! Amanda‘s always negotiating her stance, still using the short, pumping jab against Cam‘s slippin‘, duckin‘ head, landing good, lickin‘ shots on her blonde (mouth, neck, temple) until Kostek‘s sizzling thru. Fiercely contested inside battle-sites: girls placed shoulder to shoulder, pivoting slowly, arms groping down on opposite shoulders, repositioning each other – once Cam‘s gotten past Amanda‘s jab, she‘s employing a dip n‘ punch strategy, ripping short, steady lefts/rights to ‘Manda‘s ribs/flanks, before girls fall in together. Short, heavy leather to Righetti‘s tummy tenses redhead up, bunches her up hurt on the spot: she‘s relying on the hard jab, big lefty uppercut to get Kostek disengaging – but Cam‘s relentless, walking back and again into the fray, showing good jawline stamina and reading that ever dangerous jab lefty better and better!
Late second minute: Kostek‘s head a-weavin‘, dukes at cheek, slips Righetti‘s first two jabs, absorbs the third to jaw, leans inside for hard, thumping right to boobs/upper ribs. Amanda rides out the shot wide-legged, balancing herself: Cam‘s stepping in, wrapping up around redhead shoulder, bulling the champ to ropes – no clean punches, but lots of good, strong hip/torso twists by Camille, securing Amanda‘s weight against ropes for a bit. Righetti‘s head‘s resting on Kostek‘s left shoulder, as Cam‘s wriggling an arm free, jostling a right hand deep into Amanda‘s paunch, causing tensed shudders – the champ‘s throwing scowling looks to Ali. Where‘s Ali? She‘s right there, enjoying it: “Come on, ‘Manda – it‘s a beach fight! Get out yourself“, she smirks.
Strong, pushy shoves, jostles finally do the job: pinging jab between Kostek‘s eyes gets a little payback – Amanda wants to fight off the jab, side-stepping Kostek, but the heavy sand‘s damping her footwork, sees her bogged down in more clinches. More rippin‘ shots to Righetti‘s tummy: that sleight, curved hook deep into the champ‘s ribs before girls fall together‘s a huge part of Camille‘s strategy tonight, cramping Righetti up time and again – ‘Manda‘s scowling, riding a left arm down Kostek‘s right shoulder, as girls step back and forth. Girls riding it out down the stretch, fighting messy, close: lots of shoves, pushing, arms clinging and pressing down, and Cam‘s a little hungrier, committed, getting Righetti‘s butt/back against ropes more often than not.
Bell: “Do your job, Ali!“, Amanda commands. “You need to use ya legs, girl,“ Ali quips back.
R3: Gritty beach battle: girls stand ground, plant and pitch, sloshing toe-to-toe trade on the spot – Righetti uses her power to shunt her blonde foe into position, palm up on shoulders, then feed her the rippin‘ body cross to lower back/pecs. Camille slugs back: blonde‘s dipping torso left, right from Amanda‘s trade, brushing a fat wide right across Righetti‘s shoulderblade, a jerky, little left uppercut above her hip. ‘Manda‘s more precise via her jab up top, sprucing up to Cam‘s pretty face, hitting teeth, sparking a split in blonde‘s lower lip – both girls favouring brawn over legs, standing long inside pocket. First minute favours Righetti as the legendary jab gets on top, the flowing right hand bruising Cam‘s famed rack – Amanda‘s explosive, as her precise rhythm grinds her challenger into reluctant, bruised retreats.
Early second min: Kostek answers with a more mobile stance, her legs hop-bopping...then a dramatic rise out of a low crouch – hard, pounding, flat right thumps to redhead solarplexus, followed by sudden overhead (left) hook upside Righetti‘s head, staggering the champ! Wobbly-butt moments for Righetti: she steps out to ropes, feet wide apart, jolting hectic jabs – Cam steps into her via a lunging, ripping left cross to tummy, then sneaks in a right uppercut behind Amanda‘s elbow. Righetti steps out of the ropes low, wrapping around Cam‘s waist, driving her to mid-ring. Blonde pushes down on her head, as girls wrestle for control, complaining “She‘s tying up, ref!“ to Ali. Ref-Ali‘s unfazed: “She‘s smart, Cam.“
Third minute: Righetti‘s still alongside apron, proving stamina, defense – good reactions, spearing body jabs prevent full sieges. Thumping pressure on Big Rigs‘ flanks, ribs piles up: long right hooks to tummy, thick shots behind the elbows! Late down the stretch: sand permitting easy, long clinches, changing range management – Amanda‘s pretty pushy n‘ shovy, pulling down Kostek‘s arms, head, bulling her blonde, reversing positions on sheer strength. Cam‘s bytchy, feeling strong, loudly demands breaks from Ali: “Let me work her over, girl!“
R4: The Amanda Righetti weapon factory: jab, jab, jab! Early offensive sees her ripping it in double, triples, usually catching a bendy, dipping Cam at some point, and then landing thuds! Cam‘s trying to grind thru, head dipping side to side, weaving inside via the bendy, spinning hook to tummy again – she‘s catching hard spank to face, Amanda‘s left as Righetti re-positions, side-steps left. Kostek‘s negotating, back-pedalling, feinting big punches left/right to bridge range: Amanda doesn‘t buy it, times a short jab instead, sponging it to Cam‘s mouth, guh-oh – blonde‘s fleshy thighs tremble, legs stomp for balance. Another hard left to neck, and ‘Manda‘s wrapping up, coaxing her blonde ropeside, staying on top via hips thrust. Late first minute: big blonde‘s forming peek-a-boo, riding atop rope – sock, sock, sock go Amanda‘s hard jab, jab, right cross combos, bashing away to sides of Camille‘s skull as blonde‘s hot body slowly rocks, absorbs, trembles. Sudden, swoosh (left) uppercut from Kostek‘s left shoulder – Righetti dips n‘ slips, corking a short upside right below Camille‘s jawline! Left arm rides down Kostek‘s right shoulder, then secures her arm – jerky, brutal jolts to Camille‘s proud rack bunch blonde up with a grunt, blubbering protest.
Mid-round: Cam‘s rushing, swooshing across sand left/right, young energy bursting out – hands low, she‘s stepping into Righetti‘s range, slips the first jab, slips the second jab, eats the third jab, still buries a hot shot lefty uppercut under Amanda‘s chin! She‘s got Big Rigs‘ legs rocked, pivoting out, reforming stance! Low-action minute as girls circle, walk into clinches before punches connect – lots of clingin‘, tyin‘ up as girls push for strength, blow up hot in each other‘s faces, gettin‘ toe-to-toe. Ali smiles, gets in to break late: “Don‘t catfight, girls.“
Last minute: Righetti‘s jab spanking off Camille‘s face, upping the damage Cam‘s taken before getting inside, shutting her out more and more – doube, triple jabs, as Amanda circles clock-wise, sometimes following up via the (jab, jab) right cross, or a short, jolty left uppercut when Cam‘s in range. No pastin‘, but all those jabs to mouth have got Cam a little gun-shy, hopping, covering up, backing up in face of Righetti‘s hard, spanking left. Atmosphere‘s getting a little frosty right there at the bell, as Cam‘s looking for eye contact, staying up on Righetti – redhead‘s unimpressed, shuffling blonde‘s shoulder out the way. “Better slip the jab to get her respect,“ Ali smiles, blocks Cam‘s further advances.
R5: Sandy, sweaty, moist battle of attrition – Camille‘s moving left away from Amanda‘s driving poke, then edging in via her left shoulder, muscling up on Righetti inside. ‘Manda adopts stance, going toe-to-toe: girls stand in the pocket, leaning tummy against tummy, pivoting around, a-pumpin‘– mostly guttin‘, swattin‘ hooks across the opposing tummy mound, dramatic little uppercuts clipped from the hips, looking for skull. Steady legs, mobile hips/torso: hard right to stomach, slippy left uppercut to chin – girls plant and pitch at the same time, both landing thuds. Plenty of totter as girls rumble-tumble to sides, re-grouping: eyes wide and intense, Kostek‘s the first to rush back in, feints a long jab, stops, triggers Righetti‘s straight left, then leans inside, SCRUBBING a hard, rippin‘ (right) uppercut against Amanda‘s left ear/skull. Moist sand‘s roughed up Righetti‘s footwork – she‘s all leg-jammed n‘ rickety from the shot, gets wrapped up hard by blonde‘s greedy, bull-strong arms, shoved violently against ropes!
Step-out, step-in, Kostek: hard, swooshing right curls to ‘Manda‘s teeth, slumps her – Righetti‘s covering up, folding a little off ropes, torso sloshed back-and-forth from Cam‘s pitching hooks against her flanks, lower back. Feet wide, breezy hook to jugs, Camille – dip, short right to tits, Amanda...half-slidin‘ step back, Cam, barely tugs her head away from Righetti‘s lungin‘ righty...girls fall in, walking, stumbling...and Cam‘s bulling back on top, reversing positions, dominating the clinch as ‘Manda eases her head on blonde‘s left shoulder, struggling to hold hips against Kostek‘s bullish drive.
Mid-round scenes: girls pitching to-and-fro at various locations, Camille slowly getting better angles, top position – Righetti‘s brawny back‘s propped ropeward, right across face, left at tummy as Kostek‘s shrugging short rights across the tits, flanks, pushing strongly off Amanda‘s shoulders. Her arms pulling blonde‘s head down, a solid grip around the waist as ‘Manda does what she can to ease the pressure – Camille‘s broad, sweaty back glistens under the beach sun, her back dipping left/right, right/left as her rhythmic, strong, sturdy belts pound away at the champ‘s torso.
Down the stretch: Amanda‘s getting leggier, slippin‘ n‘ rollin‘ more shots on supple hips as Kostek‘s swatting big, straight, ram bam punches in her pursuit. Overhand right, Camille: Righetti dips, slips, swoops the short righty uppercut to Cam‘s teeth from ropes – Kostek pounds back a left/right crusher dangerously close atop ‘Manda‘s jeans trunks. Bell: Righetti shout-sobs from shot, blurting a protest to ref-Ali. “Nah – no low shot,“ Ali rules assuredly.
R6: Sun burning hot, as girls ooze hotness, sweat – no doubt, the fight‘s getting more heated, too! Girls attempt leggy openings, stiff jabs pumping as they circle, pivot in and out of range – Cam‘s wide-eyed, sometimes accompanying her punches with little snarls, shouts, breaths while Righetti stays intense, less dramatic. Brisk, sudden combinations: hard jab, jab, right cross going pik-pik-PAK on Amanda‘s toned tummy, cramping her up again – the champ‘s hard-nosed counter righty hisses by Cam‘s startled face, stroking just by. Thirty seconds in, a battle of attrition as legs slow, girls start GRINDING for control – long leaning punches thudding hard (tummy, jawlines) as girls fall together, then work hard inside the grasp to muscle, drive the other girl back, ram some punches to paunch, tits. Bruisin‘ stuff from Camille as blonde seems hungrier, more aggressive: hard lefts/rights bump to Righetti‘s shoulderblade, above her trunks, pound her off balance, cramping her up, jamming those famed legs, bull-rushing her into defensive positions. Another short pound atop the trunks to tummy: „guu-uuh“, ‘Manda‘s lips part, exhale in pain, leaning her shoulder atop Cam‘s, walk-rushing her back to mid-ring. Kostek‘s always working inside the clinch, wriggling shoulders to free, pound violently at Righetti‘s inviting flanks/back as girls stumble/walk.
Mid-round scenes: both girls busy, baby-stepping on the sand – Cam‘s shouting with effort as she tucks in a trio of throbbing close-contact shots to Amanda‘s lower back, as redhead torso squirms on impact. Edging her left shoulder forward, Righetti‘s manoeuvering Kostek into a better position, picking Cam‘s face up gorgeously via short, mean (left) uppercut! Girls stay inside, but look at the drowse in Kostek‘s eyes – she‘s hurt! Girls tumble ropeside, with Righetti rushing on top – hard straights pancake Camille‘s rack, upper torso twisting side-to-side for thumping leverage against Kostek‘s jugs, meaty hips. Cam counters: she stays compact, using good, bruising inside punches against Amanda‘s skull, mouth – clout beats Righetti to mouth/nose, has her leaning back out.
Last minute: girls laying mouths on shoulders, using shoulder bumps to wriggle free of grips/clinches, hoping to land the short, jolt uppercut first. Better sand footwork for Camille: elegant hop-hop pivot to back/right, she walks Amanda into a short tricky right over the redhead‘s left, jamming left ear! Kostek‘s leaning low for a lunging left to paunch, rises for short, sweeping hook across the mouth – she‘s got Big Rigs stumbling, hunching for ropeside retreat. Just before bell: Camille‘s fighting off Righetti‘s chest, sucking in short, heavy punches at Amanda‘s guard (either side of skull), tucking in hooks across the jugs.
Corner breakdowns after six: “You‘ve got Rigs in risky territory, Cam,“ Nadia Bjorlin (in Cam‘s corner!) announces. “That jab ain‘t working, she‘s a little slow on the sand. You can win this on points, girl, but don‘t trust it. Better use one of those clinches for a good, rippin‘ uppercut, then punch her sleepy n‘ out!“ – opposite them, Milena Govich advises Amanda: “This is the beach fight you knew you were gonna get, girl! Class wins fights on sand, too, though. Go to your reserves to get that jab going, finally get some time on her at the ropes.“
Meanwhile, ref Ali‘s dictating things into press microphones: “I‘m surprised Amanda‘s jab‘s so ineffective on the beach. I really wish I fought her on the beach back in the day, man – that woulda been something!“
R7: Hard, gritty battles for control as girls circle counter-clockwise, short stubby jabs feinting, pumping: Amanda commits first, pounds a long mean jab into Cam‘s tummy, leaning low – Kostek grunts, twitching up from shot, then brushes back the short, violent right, narrowly missing Amanda‘s hairline, EATS the torquing righty hook as ‘Manda rises back up, wraps up a tumbling blonde hands-around-hips, bull-rushing her to ropes. Short, stomping thuds to Cam‘s skull, left and right – blonde‘s open-mouthed, tremblin‘ and hunchin‘, hands either side of face, as Righetti pounds away... a brutal, piercing jab/straight stings to Camille‘s hairline, rocking her head up, as ‘Manda circles back out. Camille‘s eyes betraying a startled look as she regroups, heavy upper body heaving with effort as she dips it left/right, up/down, trying to close range again: STOMPING jab, Amanda‘s left shoulder, as redhead steps left, left, steering her blonde out of step, as heavy thuds land to hairline, temples, shoulders.
Camille digs in, takes enormous, thudding damage to get into range, scrubs away to Amanda‘s flanks/belly when she‘s finally inside but pretty soon girls tie up, wrap around, wrassle for position, broad backs glistening under muscular efforts. Righetti‘s starting to control Camille a little better throughout clinches, ropeside battlegrounds: she‘s getting her shoulders/arms down on blonde, making her take weight – Cam‘s reactions laten a bit as damage mounts, and ‘Manda‘s palming up on her shoulders, smudging her face via fast, coaxing jabs when Ali finally breaks.
Mid-round: Righetti‘s got the jab flowing, dictating range, tempo, sliding back when she has to, pumping it in hard, stubby rhythms when Cam‘s ripe. Kostek still gets a moment atop, at ropes: wild, brushing right cross past ‘Manda‘s left side pumps to Righetti‘s sternum, slumps her out of position. Trio of jolting, licking body uppercuts to Amanda‘s jugs as redhead stumbles for balance: tight, hard-eyed defense, Amanda, back against ropes – dukes up, she‘s absorbing more shots to forearms/lower back, then twitching back short, stubby jabs to Camille‘s eyes, dipping for hard, thumping shots against Kostek‘s meaty hips/flanks. Too much damage for blonde when she‘s supposed to be on top, a-siegin‘: Camille‘s legs start to sashay away, breaking the siege – Amanda‘s immediately stepping in, wrapping up around her, driving her mid-ring as girls struggle to step/hop on moist, heavy sand. Righetti‘s now the active, hungry fighter inside these clinches, HER shoulders dictating the way Camille stumbles, as girls‘s arms/backs are entwined, muscles straining. “Don‘t fall asleep, girl,“ Ali snarls as she breaks, demanding more activity from Camille.
Last minute: Righetti extending on the jab, works in more flat-footed fashion, pounding away, as Kostek‘s frustrated, unable to hold her stance, just no longer weaving inside/outside Amanda‘s strong lefty well – squaring away, Righetti‘s keeping Camille pinned ropeside, left bashing to (right) biceps/shoulder, then spearing one throbbing right hand into Cam‘s jugs, ribs after another! Fast, alert head/body dips, reactions from Righetti to absorb those wild, chop-chop counters, grinding to stay on top at various positions: redhead‘s hips swivel left/right, arching her back to shrug hooks across Camille‘s meaty frame, licking up and beneath her elbows. Short, shrugging left hook/right hook combo throbs to Kostek‘s jugs, ribs, leaves blonde mouth-breathing, gaspin‘ all wobbly-butt!
Just before bell: a hard, parallel left misses a dippin‘ Righetti‘s head, a short, shrugged righty misses her duckin‘ hairline – Amanda‘s short answer lefty DOESN‘T miss Camille‘s teeth, folds her into a crouch, side-stepping all out of balance...Ali jumps in at bell, stabilizes Kostek‘s trembling shoulders in ref‘s hug as Cam‘s eyes flicker in confusion.
R8: Short, hard confrontation sets the tone: Camille steps out, lunges out, misses range on sand, as her brushing lefty hook sails up short, not reaching redhead mouth when Righetti‘s torso dips back – as Kostek‘s still off her balance, Amanda SMITES her wide, right hand uppercut between the blonde‘s eyes/forehead! Eyes roll up, torso staggers, buttocks a-ringin‘ - it‘s a wonder Camille‘s still standing as blonde‘s meaty legs absorb the shocking sock! Righetti dips low, to blonde‘s chest height, tucks a smart, swooshing hook beneath Kostek‘s crossed arms (left side), tucks it to waist (right side), further cramping up her blonde. Wild-throwin‘ counter overhead uppercut, Camille – Righetti ducks inside, her left shoulderblade clocking HARD to blonde‘s mouth on contact, then wraps up beneath Cam‘s arms, bulls her backward. After Ali‘s break: a limber totter in Camille‘s strong legs, clearly rickety, slowing – loose rhythmic jabs, Amanda, big right hands land to tummy/jugs.
Thirty seconds in, Kostek hits ropes, her mouth open, lips parted, torso oddly tilting left/right: blonde‘s hands placed aside temples, riding her butt against ropes to stabilize – Righetti looms large, her broad back muscles sweaty, as she gets to work! Good, cuffing hooks at Camille‘s ears soften blonde up, hard righties inside to ribs, just atop swimsuit bottom, tense up Kostek‘s ribs, redden her tummy – ‘Manda‘s in a loose stance, stepping in n‘ out, as Camille slowly slides alongside the apron. Short jab to mouth, hard right to tummy, Righetti‘s stock combo tonight – hard right to tummy gets shouts, gasps, lil‘ torso lolls from Camille – she‘s just getting pummeled! Cold-hearted looks, Amanda, to ref-Ali on the right: but Ali ain‘t willing to stop this thing! Righetti stops hoppin‘...her stance‘s flat-footed, more brutal, stays on Camille at one position now: jab tik-toks to Cam‘s jawline like a lil‘ sledgehammer, tik-tok – wide, swinging roundhouse righties sloshes big to flanks/jugs as Cam‘s folding into a forward cringe, helpless, not tying up!
Just inside first minute: Amanda jabs to left jawline, throws a right cross to cheek/ear – left jab to temple, righty spears below the jugs! Pretty blue eyes go clickety-clack and shut as meaty legs finally give way – Camille stumbles forward in a daze, making a stranded step or two out of ropes, then sinks down slowly! Camille wilts onto her haunches in the sand, groaning – she finally tosses onto her belly, mouth on sand, starts crawling a couple inches forward. Right elbow props up, fleshy buttocks rise, she‘s on all fours, panting hard...she‘s too friggin‘ paralyzed to make it further! Ali counts out a trembling, moist-eyed Camille – that‘s a sweaty, sandy beach knockout, her SEVENTH title defense, her NINETEENTH straight win – and she‘s STILL welterweight champion of the world, KO8 Amanda Righetti!
After: Amanda raises her arm in triumph, breathing hard and staring down on her fallen victim. Tonight‘s battle was as hard and competitive as expected: Camille‘s stamina and physicality was a big test for Amanda, but a late surge was enough to decide this battle between the two stablemates. After the count, Amanda‘s helping Camille up, hugging, consoling her as both girls‘ temper cools down after heated exchanges during the fight. “She‘s good, man,“ Amanda smirks during her post-fight interview. “She better be after a year of sparring with me in the gym! I know this is going to be a huge disappointment for her, but she‘s going to be up for the title again, no doubt, and unless I‘m the one across the ring again, she just might clinch it next time, haha!“
What does Amanda think about equalling that welter record? “It's a huge honour! But I don't really feel like sharing that honour...so the work's not really done yet, right?"
