Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: The sudden rise of the Cougar Division has called some well-known albeit semi-retired names into action and Denise Richards wants to join the party too as she sets up a clash against Miami-based lingerie model Joanna Krupa: "Look, I don't care what people say. I can still knock some overrated bimbos out! The movie industry is all about reboots lately so what is wrong with a FCBA reboot? I'm a natural crowd favorite and I'm gonna rock this house tonight! Just wait and see!"

Meanwhile Joanna Krupa points out she's been much more active lately and that easily neutralizes the brunette's experience advantage: "Denise is so past-prime she must have been drunk when she came up with this reboot idea! No way she's got what it takes anymore! I'm gonna rearrange her plastic face and send her into official retirement! She's a fraud cougar in boxing terms so it's time to terminate her journey once and for all!"

Denise Richards wears a black crop top, matching hotpants & red gloves. Long dark brown hair with blonde dye tied in a curled ponytail. Joanna Krupa wears a red bikini set & white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a high ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Joanna wants to set the early pace with a quick head-hunting blast but Denise matches her stride for stride during the initial tangle and scores the best punch of the lot when she tags the blonde on the chin before adding a plugging hook on the rack. Despite all her jug muggin' experience Joanna fails to embrace that shot and wobbles onto her heels while the brunette keeps piling more pressure up the middle and backs the suddenly stunned model onto the ropes. Joanna's slugging efforts struggle for precision while Richards jumps on the high-octane attack like it's 1999 and scythes the desperate high guard before another uppercut double nails the blonde on the chin. Most fans didn't expect such a feisty showing from the US veteran but Denise is not to be denied for the time being and buries the struggling model underneath more pesky jabs and signs off her run with a belting shot on the guts that folds Krupa into spasms right at the bell.

Round 2:
Joanna wants redemption over that poor opener and jumps into the slugging route again which meets a similar response from Richards; the brunette fancies her chances punching the blonde's rack but the initial effort bounces off the forearms and Krupa scythes her on the chin with on overhand double that sets up a spell of sustained pressure in point-blank range. Joanna finds her rhythm almost immediately upon impact and leaves the brunette exposed while getting punched up the chimney. Denise refuses to back off at first but maybe she's simply unable to channel a solid footwork anymore at this stage of her career and gets sucked into a jabbing vacuum that glues her to the spot. Krupa rallies around the ailing guard and rocks her head back to the point she pounds her butt-in-ropes and secures a harpoon connection into the exposed midsection. Ugh! Denise can only clinch the charging model but still eats too many crisp shots on the liver area and looks extremely vulnerable downstairs while Joanna barks in her efforts and drops the American into spasms when she lands a late uppercut double on the chin. Denise bellows out onto the ropes with a whimper and gets saved by the bell as the Polish model has to be pulled away by the ref.

Round 3:
Denise is unable to move fast enough across the canvas to avoid another jabbing rush so she settles for the slugging exchange however Joanna lands her shots a split second quicker time after time to knock the brunette's back repeatedly during the opening exchange. Denie drops to her heels almost too easily but she doesn't carry enough power while swinging from the back foot and begins to gurgle in pain when Joanna thumps her lips into visible swelling down the stretch. Another wild punch nails the American on the brow ridge and bends her into spasms while Krupa fires a brutal harpoon on the liver that SENDS RICHARDS CRASHING DOWN ONTO HER KNEES with a loud cry. Ugh! That was a perfect shot from the Polish cougar who yells out in delight as the sobbing brunette bends forward and rests her head on the canvas. Denise simply can't battle back from that painful strike and is duly counted out moments later! KO3 Joanna Krupa!!!

AFTER: The Real Housewives of Miami topples the Beverly Hills edition with a thumping liver shot that always does the trick! Joanna is exeptionally proud of herself while taunting Denise to get up and face the additional music but the American is simply in too much pain to respond. Joanna settles into twerking her jugs for the fans' pleasure and there's every chance she becomes a marketing hit in the Cougar division on top of her usual JMD antics: "There's so many ways to extend a boxing career!", she tells Erin Andrews afterwards, "I've still got that killer body for everyone to enjoy and blasting Denise frickin' Richards into a smoking heap is front page news! You can't buy a publicity like that! You haven't heard the last of me yet and it feels so damn exciting to be here and lay down the cougar law! Woo! I'll be back soon so watch the hell out!" (laughs).

Official Result: Joanna Krupa def. Denise Richards KO3.
