AMANDA RIGHETTI (Welterweight Champion) (36 y/o, 5 ft 8, W: 100, L: 29) vs ADRIANNE PALICKI (36 y/o, 5 ft 11, W: 33, L: 30)
Results: Lookout!, Writing: Bonzo
Before: Former lightweight champion Adrianne Palicki surprised most of the FCBA with her recent move up to the welterweight division. Her subsequent debut at the weight on the January PPV couldn‘t have been stronger, though – she scored an impressive KO win over one of the division‘s former stars, Bazz‘s Bridget Regan. Results at lightweight simply didn‘t happen for the tall beauty feared for her massive right hand: she‘s recently fallen to Mary Winstead, Kendall Jenner and Emily DiDonato in a disappointing 1-5 yearly record across 2019. What does Adrianne think about her surprise welter title shot in her second welter bout?
“Of course, it‘s a pretty huge honour for me. I know Amanda, and I also know she doesn‘t take me for an easy fight. I can see the raised eyebrows about my record at lightweight, but we‘re among the big girls now – different rules apply. And I‘m a threat, baby. I‘ve always been known as the Chin Checker, but Righetti Buster doesn‘t sound so bad either, right, guys?“
What are Adrianne‘s plans for the fight?
“I‘m bringing right hands back to welter“, AP smiles, flexes. “Lots of leggy girls, lots of technical boxing – it‘s time to bring some sloshing power back here, I think! I‘ve seen so many girls tryna box with Amanda, even try to grind with her – no, the only thing‘s that‘s ever worked against Rigs has been raw, hamfisted power. Swing the right hand and look for her chin – round one, round ten, you name it. I already had her butt on the canvas back in 2013 – I‘d say that‘s a great start to what I‘ve got planned for this fight. And when I saw Amanda get stopped by one of Kendall Jenner‘s hooks I just KNEW I was ready for this moment.“
Amanda Righetti‘s no longer on her record-setting winning streak, but the welter title‘s now been in her hands for an unprecedented twelve defenses now. She hasn‘t lost a fight at welterweight since March 2018. Does Adrianne feel like a threat?
“Adrianne‘s always a threat“, Amanda nods affirmatively. “And her transition to welter makes perfect sense, if you ask me. Of course, she‘s made that move a little later than I did, but the way she just went ahead and shocked Bridgy Regs right away? Impressive, damn. Tactically, things haven‘t changed for me since 2013 – avoid, or absorb the right hands, back her up, grind her down and out. I know what to do. And she knows what‘s coming.“
Fight night attire: Adrianne‘s in classic (tight) white boxing trunks, a silvery white sports bra, golden gloves, white boots, her long blonde hair wetted down – champ Righetti‘s sporting lacy black panties, a black sports bra, red gloves, black boots, her red hair braided.
Fight: R1: Girls pivot into range, building up cautious guards as they step out, test waters – Righetti‘s walking forward in smooth, sturdy pivots, starting to jab hard from her left shoulder, right hand curled at mouth. A leggy Palicki‘s using legs/reach, walking backward in compliance – she‘s just issuing long, nudging jabs to keep a check on Amanda. Adrianne‘s pretty mobile, using her long reach n‘ bendy hips: lithe blonde‘s torso sloshing forward in sudden lil‘ attacks from ropes/corners – it‘s her mean lil‘ jabs that lunge out for Righetti‘s forehead/mouth, wild-looking hooks/crosses from slingin‘ hips. Amanda‘s comfortable: she‘s taking shots to her raised arms/guard, blocking hard, absorbing shots well – on receipt, big redhead‘s steadily trying to bob n‘ weave her way inside Palicki‘s long reach, burying hard, flat shots to Adrianne‘s shoulders/lats on arrival.
A minute in, Righetti‘s upping the tempo: hard shots land palms-down and flat, drubbin‘ to Palicki‘s chest/neck/tummy – a steady drill of power sent down that long blonde body, before AP‘s check-check jabs locate Righetti to mouth/face, and long legs lope her out of harm‘s way. Hard work, steady rhythm‘s paying off for Rigs: she‘s fighting off Adrianne‘s chest at mid-round mark, slowly driving her off to ropes. Sturdy clinches dictated by ‘Manda‘s brawn: hands maul n‘ writhe for control, scuffing shoulders to blonde face – Righetti‘s shoulders, hips rolling to land short, THUDDING right hands into Adrianne‘s toned paunch. Palicki tying up shamelessly, her long arms grippin‘ n‘ reachin‘ down Amanda‘s neck – Righetti‘s strong glutes tighten, resisting as she‘s bulling her blonde back, tucking in cruel pump-shots into Adrianne downstairs.
On ref‘s breaks: steady, jamming power off Righetti‘s left shoulder, sending jolts down Palicki‘s lithe body – the champ‘s pivoting right from Adrianne‘s flanks, avoiding right hands. Final minute: rhythmic jabs, stubby lil‘ hooks get Rigs leverage, position – she‘s working off Palicki‘s left shoulder at ropes, writhing, putting her brawn to blonde‘s tummy/tits. Action winds down – Adrianne finally pours in the righty! Girls in nice trade of jabs, as hard rights EXPLODE off the shot – Palicki‘s whack skids just off Righetti‘s left ear, not hitting much face but she‘s got Rigs blinking, re-positioning! Down the stretch: faster pivots, as Righetti‘s jabbing, driving Palicki to back/corners again – Adrianne‘s long legs lope, tack out to left/right, making a show off walking by Amanda‘s flanks/front with hands low.
Inside the champ‘s corner during break: “She‘s all about the right hand, Amanda. When you‘re workin‘ n‘ grindin‘ her down at the ropes – she‘s helpless!“
R2 Adrianne adjusts, working behind a longer, faster jab, upping the tempo and using her reach/height to good, thumping effect. Fast pivots, loping steps around Amanda‘s right flank – slick, snappy jabs keep popping off Righetti‘s forehead/raised guard as shorter redhead‘s bobbin‘, steppin‘ back n‘ forth. Slinging work from AP during first minute: a shuffling double jab plops in right between Amanda‘s mitts, nicely spanking her to nose/cheek! Short reaction right hands both SLANT DOWN hard and thick into opposing breadbaskets – shots would pitch little flyweights out of their stance and leave them breathless, but big welter girls just groan, tense up buttocks and resist! Adrianne‘s fast, alert – a suckin‘ lil‘ left hook scrubs up on Righetti‘s right mitt/cheek, winning the exchange with her aggressor‘s pop. Girls circle out, but Palicki‘s now in a leggy, tall pursuit of Righetti – a drumming jab‘s keeping a steady drill as redhead bobs n‘ stoops, forced to tack out, leg it.
Minute mark: more leggy control, Palicki – she‘s stooping that long, glorious torso, weight on left foot, and LICKING a sly lil‘ hook upside Righetti‘s trunkline. Short reaction right, Amanda! Rigs groaning from tummy shot, leaning right: her right hand just plops up smooth, effortlessly, tapping rail-straight to Palicki‘s ear! Staggers, blinking eyes – now Adrianne‘s reeling out, her long legs shaky, wobbly-butt! Sloshing mid-ring exchanges as hard, THUDDING punches trade to prepared defenses, strong arms – power, tempo dictates Palicki to ropes. Adrianne setting up earmuff, hands placed nice n‘ tight – short, strappin‘ hooks licking Palicki‘s waistline/flanks as Righetti stoops, shifts weight constantly, gets her hips into these shots. Grunts, grimaces – Palicki‘s in a wide-legged stance, riding butt on ropes, blocking shots to elbows, trying to pull down Amanda‘s arms for long-limbed clinches. Round rightly scored a draw – both girls‘ strengths clearly on display.
R3: Adrianne fielding a two-pronged strategy – one, she‘s trying to dictate the rangy jab action with her taller height/reach, WHIPPING those long, slick left hands of hers to Amanda‘s blocking guard as girls stalk around. Second, she‘s bringing in more of the dangerous right hook – sharp, belting shots clubbing away flat, aggressive against Righetti‘s ears/mitts to end jab-jab-cross combinations. Hard early trade – girls close range via jab, lean in for straight opposing right hands to jawline/mouths, THEN hope to scrub home the right cross/hook for some real friggin‘ damage. Palicki‘s explosive right hand‘s ready to fight: blonde‘s roaming a lot of canvas, as legs constantly shift, hop, slide – lots of sudden range changes hope to walk a bobbin‘, tightly configured Rigs into that massive, splashing righty! Danger‘s got Righetti hesitant, not putting Palicki‘s butt ropeside as planned – only fast head-bobs, shoulder-skids escape the champ from thudding skull contact to Adrianne‘s major weapon. Righetti hopping on the spot, feinting to move, usually sliding out, re-hopping – Adrianne smiles, stalking her way forward, pounding drumming jabs to ‘Manda‘s raised guard, stooping to land jagged body hooks to redhead flanks/tummy meat.
Mid-round: girls double up jabs, pivoting faster, more aggressive – long jabs prep the hard, BELTING lateral right hand! Redhead‘s shorter right just skids off Palicki‘s jaw/neck – Adrianne‘s own right tears away to Righetti‘s cheek/ear, sending her away in sputters n‘ baby-steps, wide-eyed n‘ stumbling! Peek-a-boo stance, Righetti, sliding ropeside: Adrianne shifts weight, buggy-whipping her lanky crosses to both sides of Amanda‘s strong tummy/lats. Hard tapping connect‘s got Righetti stooping, hunching – AP‘s ready to work her over butt-on-ropes! Palicki sets up her left shoulder in Amanda‘s rack, clubbing short, palming left/right crosses to redhead ears/forehead, hoping to twitch open the guard. Righetti‘s sturdy, but groaning, face in gloves – she‘s sliding out left, stalked, pressed into cables by Palicki‘s tall leverage.
Down the stretch: Palicki‘s positioned in dominant fashion off Righetti‘s left shoulder, stooping to pound flat rights to Amanda‘s mid-riff – Righetti belts back a short-connect right hand blast to Adrianne‘s left ear, stumbling blonde out of her stance, easing pressure just before the bell. Inside the Palicki corner during break: “We‘re liking that Righetti‘s starting to think about your right hand – we think she‘s a little scared of it, AP! Ya need ta get her the jitters, girl.“
R4: Righetti responds to Adrianne‘s tall aggression, trying to freeze Palicki‘s legs now – punches sweep thru blonde defenses, as the redhead jams her palms-down jolts to her challenger‘s head/shoulders/rack/arms. Pounds, weight-of-shot hitting Palicki sturdy n‘ solid – she‘s getting bashed, retreating via slinging hooks down redhead tummy during leggy outward circles. At minute mark: fighting range‘s shortened as girls stand n‘ deliver, trading more sock – girls roll shoulders, slip n‘ stoop, rise for dramatic, pitching lil‘ hooks! And ‘Manda locates Palicki‘s jaw-line, landing it clean, tapping it via her SMOOTH left hooks – blonde‘s strong legs feel the tremble as her thighs soak up these violent short-contact blasts to her chin! Righetti‘s comfort zone: opponent‘s muscled out of her stance, rocked, retreating in earmuff – and it‘s friggin‘ grind-down time, Amanda Righetti! Slip n‘ stoop – a short left‘s stuffed deep into Palicki‘s gut, folds her up hurt, bent all awkwardly. A short rail-straight left hand slips thru Adrianne‘s mitts – a nice lil‘ head snap, blonde eyes fast a-blinkin‘ as Palicki doesn‘t anticipate the punch! And you just know the drill: Righetti‘s hands shovin‘, palmin‘, using her forearms to push off Palicki in true big-girl fashion – Big Rigs straps a THICK right roundhouse into Adrianne‘s gut/tummy, bunching her foe all up into grimaces!
Final minute: Righetti doing her work like crazy – jamming punches sweep and pound to Adrianne‘s raised arms, steer her around by blasts to shoulders/rack, forcing constant adjustments, lil‘ slide-backs from the tall blonde. Lots of lateral hops/steps, Righetti, her head bobbing up/down, left/right, switching across Palicki‘s fronts – she‘s being very alert in anticipation of Adrianne‘s committed right hands. Just down the stretch: an explosive right hand splutters just by Righetti‘s face – short step-right‘s got Amanda to Palicki‘s left flank, imediately JAMMING a short right to blonde‘s ear/cheek, ringing it ka-ching! The jack-hammer shot blasts blonde head starboard – she‘s tumbling away to her right on sound of bell, legs hazy, eyes showing hurt.
R5: Girls stalk each other flat-footed, pivoting slowly, smoothly – both pounding away flat jabs/straights to strong opposing guard/defense. Palicki‘s height/reach‘s a well-oiled machine, giving her better leverage, ring control when used to her advantage – her clubbing outtake‘s out-pacing Righetti, walking her into tall stiff poke, spreading redhead out. Inside the first minute: fast, driving jabs exchanged – tempo/reach drives action into Righetti‘s corner…girls bend into short, sucking right hands! Hard, poppin‘ smack lands on Amanda‘s jaw/mouth – her long reach‘s creating moments for big blonde! Righetti‘s head takes a ricochet to the right on impact – she‘s making baby-steps out, hands at tummy, her shoulders sagging, as Adrianne‘s staring all wide-eyed, grinning big. Wild overhand right hand, Palicki! Long, powerful shot lunges out hard in pursuit, pouring all the way through to Righetti‘s temple/ear – ‘Manda sputters into ropes, just propped up by her butt on the cables! Righetti forms autopilot earmuff, trying to ride things out, setting her legs broadly apart. Short left hook – goes ooh-oomph into redhead tummy/ribs. Left uppercut – clubs to right ear/cheek. Right uppercut – clubs to left ear/raised arm. Thumping power, shellack – and Righetti‘s sturdy chassis is getting worked over hard by a determined, hungry blonde!
Ref‘s break at mid-round mark – Adrianne being smooth n‘ tall, walking shorter redhead around, laying arms tight around her hips/tits. Girls jabbing, hoping to score the monster right cross – then both falling in hard, tight, squirming. Palicki‘s height a problem for sturdy Rigs – Adrianne‘s squeezing down, taking a protesting Amanda‘s head under her arms, eyes peeking all innocent until ref orders break. Final minute – girls a little more hesitant, stalking each other, shelling hard to guards/arms, shimmying around in more cautious fashion. Late: Righetti finally using the bob‘ n‘ weave for a fast attack again – comes up snarling inside range, POPPING a hard slanting right hand into Adrianne‘s breadbasket, making Palicki feel her power again!
Inside Righetti‘s corner during break: “Adrianne‘s tall – but we want YOU feeding her the jab, ‘Manda. Time to get the initiative again – your fight, your rules, champ.“
R6: Girls trade some stiff mid-ring (long) jabs, (short) right hands for control, initiative – this time, Righetti‘s able to set the pace, starting to punish Palicki to the body. It‘s a hard-bashin‘ lefty poke: rhythmic blasts club to Adrianne‘s guard/skull, slowly softening her up – leggy side-steps, head-movements walk Rigs out of most of Adrianne‘s tall jabs/hooks, keeping up pressure on blonde. Thudding one-two pressure happening – stiff jabs as Amanda‘s turning Palicki‘s flanks, and straight FLASHY right hands off Righetti‘s right shoulder that just start a-shellin‘, and puttin‘ Palicki in danger. Minute mark: Adrianne bobbing tall, bendy on the spot, leans in aggressively – gets caught a long, smooth cross flush to jaw! A lil‘ stoop heaves Amanda‘s short, stiff body hook into blonde paunch, tensing things up in Palicki‘s mid-riff – smooth pivots walk Rigs off, as Adrianne attempts to stalk her, hands up, but torso tilting a lil‘ off to her side. Righetti takes a bite!
Redhead luring her blonde forward, dangling the left hand as weight‘s on left heel – a short, stingin‘ left hook fits to blonde jawline/cheek! A groan, Palicki, eyes betraying a moist shock – she‘s wobbly-butt, placing her hands either side of temples. Blonde doing pack-pedal cycles, eyes blinking – Righetti snarls, arching her back for a thudding left/right whack to Palicki‘s flanks/lats. Turnbuckle: big blonde riding the cables all earmuffed – and Righetti shrugs her a short lefty uppercut, splitting mitts with a bang! Short right hand – fits to Adrianne‘s jaw like a jack-hammer! Palicki staggering left/right in confusion, her glorious long legs just a wobbly hot mess – she‘s pitched against ropes, as legs fail under her! Righetti cooly stepping off, letting her blonde TUMBLE TO THE CANVAS – she‘s a scrambling blonde heap! Ref shouts the count down at a helpless blonde – Palicki‘s blinking fast, her long legs quivering, body spasming – she beats the count a shabby 8! Palicki‘s legs shivering like a new-born lamb‘s – she somehow rights, stiffens, cycling away from Righetti as a mild ref resumes the action!
Final minute‘s a pound-out as Palicki takes the drubbing of a lifetime – ‘Manda bulls on top instantly, reaching hard around her foe‘s arms/chest aggressively, taking her blonde from ropes to ropes for a sequence of beatdowns. Palicki‘s guard‘s up, her eyes dimmed, but alert – and she‘s getting pasted! Righetti snuggling up close – pulling wrists/arms down, clubbing away to temples/ears, burying hard, heartless smacks into blonde‘s ribs/tits. Down the stretch – Adrianne‘s a punch sponge as Righetti‘s clubbing away on her, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat. A sturdy chin, stiff legs, heart, you name it – but Palicki somehow makes it to the bell, pretty much out on her feet.
Inside Righetti‘s corner, the redhead champ‘s showing rare signs of frustration to coach: “She‘s supposed to be on the canvas, man...I‘ve destroyed that chick.“ – Meanwhile, emergency work‘s happening on battered Adrianne: thighs get massaged, her face patched up, smelling salts used for a sniveling blonde.
R7: Adrianne circling out immediately – her hands outstretched, blocking, she‘s setting up a tall walking earmuff stance, hopping to rope-a-dope, neatly pulling down Righetti‘s arms, bringing down her long arms on redhead neck/shoulders, stumbling girls into messy clinches. Rigs knows what to expect: she‘s trying to be patient, take back thudding control – she‘s constantly forced to wrestle her way free of Palicki‘s arms, using bump n‘ shove tactics, seeking eye contact to ref for faster breaks. First minute‘s a total slugfest – Adrianne pretty much constantly leaning inside/over Righetti‘s tik-tok jabs to close range, falling in, grabbing, holding on. Big girls bumpin‘, stumblin‘ back and forth – Rigs wants to work, trying to create lil‘ spots, palming blonde‘s elbows, pushing off, swatting thick pounds either side of Adrianne‘s lanky torso/flanks. Palicki slowing things down, still fighting n‘ moving with an exhausted shimmer in her eyes – just bearing down hard on redhead shoulders, making Big Rigs immobile.
Mid-round moments set up blonde challenger for gruesome scenes at ropes again – Rigs‘s now strongly positioned off blonde chest, pulling down her wrists, cuffin‘ n‘ clubbing to torso/skull. Adrianne‘s awake, leaning head past top rope, starting to roll shoulders, work more – she taps a short, smooth straight to Rigs‘ ear in close contact, shrugging it like a beaut! Sudden glance of hurt in ‘Manda‘s eyes as sturdy legs stomp n‘ sputter for balance – Palicki walks HER out of the ropes! Blonde arching, stretching her butt out back – a nice lil‘ leaned-in righty hook goes splash to Righetti‘s ear again! Numbing shots ease Righetti‘s firm pressure – she‘s mouthbreathing, hopping out, forming a tighter guard, stabilizing her legs. Final minute – Righetti‘s jab‘s trying to be rangy, controlling...blonde‘s legs a lil‘ faster now, side-stepping, still falling in hard/clingy when she can.
Down the stretch – short trade of jabs/right hands stoops Palicki to corner/ropes again...she‘s gasping at a mean lil‘ tappin‘ hook to her tummy. Righetti‘s there again, positioned off her chest, touchin‘ her girl up fierce via jabs to guard/skull up top – while SCRUMPTIOUS right hands wreak havoc inside Palicki‘s gut as redhead zooms from left to right, making Adrianne take weight, forcing will on blonde foe. Bell: Righetti pushes off big, grinning and upbeat– but she‘s actually given up the points in a close-fought heat despite Adrianne‘s shabby, disheveled appearance. “You‘re a freakin‘ lioness!“, Gena Lee Nolin shouts at Palicki during break – Sceej team not sure how, but their girl‘s survived another round.
R8: Palicki legs look shabby n‘ groggy: she‘s skidding across the canvas more than she‘s hopping or loping – Righetti‘s eyes appropriately harden with concentration, setting up a devastating siege at ropes/corners. Short trades at mid-ring open things – a long slingin‘ left hand STEALS to blonde mouth, opening up a nasty cut, swelling it ugly. Long, tall blonde wilting on impact, oscillating for balance – she‘s immediately sliding ropeside, staying in a weak peek-a-boo, her hands placed just off temples, trying to walk Righetti into the occasional thick, but sluggish left hand.
Amanda stalking her girl smoothly, head tacking alertly to left/right, bobbing her hips to stay in constant motion – low smacks POUND AWAY at blonde‘s flanks/tummy, putting a spank to Adrianne‘s proud gut. A good minute in: Righetti stepping closer, walking head just into opposing guard, shoving blonde hard past top rope – a few half-steps back create a lil‘ more range...she can start working Palicki over! Redhead‘s left arm paws down Palicki‘s mitts, tapping gruesome left crosses/hooks to blonde jaw-line/forehead – single-shot blasts to sides of skull/temples start penetrating Adrianne‘s guard, repeatedly draping blonde‘s head past top rope in dramatic knocks, sad lil‘ jerks.
Mid-round mark: Palicki a proud, humbled blonde, taking long, wide-legged steps around Amanda‘s flanks, blocking poke to arms/elbows, using every inch of available canvas. Adrianne‘s near her own turnbuckle, arms dangling, feinting head/torso motions while hopping on the spot: Righetti pursuing her, constantly shifting weight/position – redhead times her blonde via a measuring yo-yo jab, then slanting down that hard, PUMPING right hand to her foe‘s mid-riff, RISES, then comes down POKING the short left hook to Palicki‘s mouth! Adrianne‘s flabber-gasted – folds up weak n‘ squirmy in a clinch, as Righetti bulls n‘ rushes her blonde to turnbuckle, leaning in n‘ out and smacking flanks. Final minute – Palicki not entirely passive. Blonde using ropes for good measure, trying to fit back SOME short-poke righties when Righetti‘s close, or swiping left-hooks across Amanda‘s jaw front.
Down the stretch: thudding overhand left taps atop Palicki‘s right mitt, spills her ropeside again, all queasy-legged, sniffing. Righetti sets up sturdy shoulder in Adrianne‘s rack – WHACKING side-palm rights clobber at blonde‘s head, swooning her alongside the perimeter. Bell: Palicki‘s just tying up around Amanda‘s sturdy neck/shoulders, moaning, her eyes flat/dim. Blonde‘s a tripping, quivering beauty on her way to corner – slumps down hard, leans her back against turnbuckle, closing eyes in utter exhaustion. Sceej team‘s motivating her, slapping cheeks hard – a confused Adrianne just mumbles back “I‘m not quittin‘, I‘m not quittin‘.“
R9: Palicki a tired, worn down beauty after eight rounds of Amanda – the spring of her step‘s gone, just grim heart n‘ stamina carry her on both feet now. Adrianne trying to walk Righetti into that gorgeously long left-hand STICK, slinging it wide n‘ hard as she‘s back-pedalling, circling canvas – Big Rigs‘s still able to flip in n‘ out of range, weaving inside AP‘s left, stomping her the short lefty and righty hooks to Palicki‘s mid-riff/rack, controlling her blonde‘s body via plenty of oomph. Righetti not leaving tall blonde any control inside clinches – it‘s a just steady shovin‘, jostlin‘, grindin‘...she‘s using her up! Righetti‘s broad muscular back glistening with hard-working sweat, muscles tense – short smacks pound at Palicki‘s flanks as girls walk and Amanda‘s in control of blonde‘s hips/core.
Minute mark: sluggish, depleted steps walk Palicki into traps at ropes/turnbuckles, breathing hard, eyes blinking fast behind peek-a-boo guard – Righetti‘s beating her up big-girl! Adrianne setting up a broad-legged, sturdy defense, hands at temples: ‘Manda‘s shouldering her, arms pulling down wrists to create lil‘ spots of mayhem clouts – short, clubbing shots numbing Palicki‘s head, leaving her in stupor, open-mouthed. Adrianne‘s still reactive, doing enough to stop the ref from ending things – always shifts her guard back up, using lil‘ palm-shoves to shoulder try n‘ shove Rigs off, her legs attempt to step around Amanda‘s flanks, return her to wider canvas. Amanda dipping her right shoulder, stooping STOUT right hands beneath Adrianne‘s elbows, clubbing the short, lefty hook to blonde‘s right ear/temple – steady fury of jolts to her head‘s got Palicki‘s eyes dimming!
Final minute – Righetti workin‘, bull-rushin‘ her girl. Big Rigs fighting off her blonde‘s chest, staying close, caging her foe up – girls trade short-contact lefts, rights! Righetti active, setting a faster rhythm, using more jerking power – hands constantly paw at wrists to jolt shots to Adrianne‘s jawline, beneath her elbows as action drifts from ropes to ropes.
Adrianne fitting back some short, stubby lefts to tits, steadily driven backward n‘ stalked as girls stay close, bodies touching. Palicki just leaning her head/back away from a short, jolting left hook to ear – besieged blonde JAMS a sudden, pumping lefty cross to Amanda‘s left jawline! Oh, she‘s hurt Amanda! Righetti takes an oblique lil‘ jolt on shot impact – dominant redhead suddenly stumbles away to right/back, hands low, torso tilting to the side a bit sheepishly, her eyes showing an odd swoon. Adrianne steps-to – a nasty jab to tits freezes Righetti‘s legs, STIFFENS her into better position! And Adrianne wields the freakin‘ axe! Blonde stepping-to, leaning all into a right hand swat CRASHING to Righetti‘s left ear – SHUTS OFF ALL POWER from redhead champ! Sweeping impact pretty much lifts Rigs off her feet, as eyes roll back dramatically, plonks her down on the canvas with a hard thud! ‘Manda‘s arms arms flop up around her head, legs stretch out long – she‘s all sprawled out! Crowd gasps in a silent shock – Adrianne stares down at fallen redhead, taking deep, hard breaths, her eyes still dim. Righetti JOLTS awake with a tremble during the count – her right leg/knee twitches up sadly, rises, eyes flickering in confusion as head still lolls gently back n‘ forth. The champ‘s moaning softly, her eyebrows arching in dazed wonder – strong shoulders still stirring on the ground weakly as the ten count‘s passing her by. History‘s being made, as Amanda Righetti‘s era of TOTAL dominance at welter‘s finally been stopped: it‘s really happened – and Adrianne Palicki‘s the NEW welterweight champion of the world via a KO9!
After: Adrianne sinks to her knees, hiding her face in gloves, sobbing uncontrollable tears of utter triumph. Sceej team rushes in on her from all sides (Jenny Mac, Gena Lee Nolin), wildly patting her on the back – “You did it, girl, you freakin‘ did it – you‘re the champ!“, as blonde‘s eyes betray she‘s still all dumbfounded, not fully realizing what‘s just happened. Moments later, Righetti‘s gently brought around in stages on her stool, gets slapped to her cheeks, almost skidding of her stool, muscles all rickety – she‘s still pretty out of it, a sniveling, dethroned beauty.
Post-fight interview in the ring: Adrianne‘s back‘s still shiny with sweat, a towel wrapped around her, that pretty face BATTERED puffy and unrecognizable, eyes swollen to slits, but all grins n‘ giggles in a stop n‘ go interview – “I knew my right hand was up to the job. When I saw she was suddenly vulnerable – I just knew that was my moment. Amanda being Amanda, of course, I don‘t think I‘ve ever felt more ass-kicked than I did along the way, but I did it, I stopped her – I stopped the most dominant woman in boxing like a sledgehammer!“
Girls hug after the interview, patting broad, muscular backs in friendly, classy atmosphere – “I‘ve had her out on her feet in the sixth and way beyond,“ a recovered Amanda sighs, her title defense streak ending at a breathtaking 12. “Can‘t blame the ref – it‘s my job to finish girls, and I didn‘t. We knew Adrianne could dish out a right hand like that – it just happened to be my turn to walk into it tonight. Adrianne‘s a truly classy champ, no doubt – it couldn‘t have happened to a nicer, more deserving girl. I‘m looking forward to seeing her title run. It‘s tough to see those belts around her waist after they‘ve been mine for more than a year. But I WILL get them back. Sooner than you think.“

Before: Former lightweight champion Adrianne Palicki surprised most of the FCBA with her recent move up to the welterweight division. Her subsequent debut at the weight on the January PPV couldn‘t have been stronger, though – she scored an impressive KO win over one of the division‘s former stars, Bazz‘s Bridget Regan. Results at lightweight simply didn‘t happen for the tall beauty feared for her massive right hand: she‘s recently fallen to Mary Winstead, Kendall Jenner and Emily DiDonato in a disappointing 1-5 yearly record across 2019. What does Adrianne think about her surprise welter title shot in her second welter bout?
“Of course, it‘s a pretty huge honour for me. I know Amanda, and I also know she doesn‘t take me for an easy fight. I can see the raised eyebrows about my record at lightweight, but we‘re among the big girls now – different rules apply. And I‘m a threat, baby. I‘ve always been known as the Chin Checker, but Righetti Buster doesn‘t sound so bad either, right, guys?“
What are Adrianne‘s plans for the fight?
“I‘m bringing right hands back to welter“, AP smiles, flexes. “Lots of leggy girls, lots of technical boxing – it‘s time to bring some sloshing power back here, I think! I‘ve seen so many girls tryna box with Amanda, even try to grind with her – no, the only thing‘s that‘s ever worked against Rigs has been raw, hamfisted power. Swing the right hand and look for her chin – round one, round ten, you name it. I already had her butt on the canvas back in 2013 – I‘d say that‘s a great start to what I‘ve got planned for this fight. And when I saw Amanda get stopped by one of Kendall Jenner‘s hooks I just KNEW I was ready for this moment.“
Amanda Righetti‘s no longer on her record-setting winning streak, but the welter title‘s now been in her hands for an unprecedented twelve defenses now. She hasn‘t lost a fight at welterweight since March 2018. Does Adrianne feel like a threat?
“Adrianne‘s always a threat“, Amanda nods affirmatively. “And her transition to welter makes perfect sense, if you ask me. Of course, she‘s made that move a little later than I did, but the way she just went ahead and shocked Bridgy Regs right away? Impressive, damn. Tactically, things haven‘t changed for me since 2013 – avoid, or absorb the right hands, back her up, grind her down and out. I know what to do. And she knows what‘s coming.“
Fight night attire: Adrianne‘s in classic (tight) white boxing trunks, a silvery white sports bra, golden gloves, white boots, her long blonde hair wetted down – champ Righetti‘s sporting lacy black panties, a black sports bra, red gloves, black boots, her red hair braided.
Fight: R1: Girls pivot into range, building up cautious guards as they step out, test waters – Righetti‘s walking forward in smooth, sturdy pivots, starting to jab hard from her left shoulder, right hand curled at mouth. A leggy Palicki‘s using legs/reach, walking backward in compliance – she‘s just issuing long, nudging jabs to keep a check on Amanda. Adrianne‘s pretty mobile, using her long reach n‘ bendy hips: lithe blonde‘s torso sloshing forward in sudden lil‘ attacks from ropes/corners – it‘s her mean lil‘ jabs that lunge out for Righetti‘s forehead/mouth, wild-looking hooks/crosses from slingin‘ hips. Amanda‘s comfortable: she‘s taking shots to her raised arms/guard, blocking hard, absorbing shots well – on receipt, big redhead‘s steadily trying to bob n‘ weave her way inside Palicki‘s long reach, burying hard, flat shots to Adrianne‘s shoulders/lats on arrival.
A minute in, Righetti‘s upping the tempo: hard shots land palms-down and flat, drubbin‘ to Palicki‘s chest/neck/tummy – a steady drill of power sent down that long blonde body, before AP‘s check-check jabs locate Righetti to mouth/face, and long legs lope her out of harm‘s way. Hard work, steady rhythm‘s paying off for Rigs: she‘s fighting off Adrianne‘s chest at mid-round mark, slowly driving her off to ropes. Sturdy clinches dictated by ‘Manda‘s brawn: hands maul n‘ writhe for control, scuffing shoulders to blonde face – Righetti‘s shoulders, hips rolling to land short, THUDDING right hands into Adrianne‘s toned paunch. Palicki tying up shamelessly, her long arms grippin‘ n‘ reachin‘ down Amanda‘s neck – Righetti‘s strong glutes tighten, resisting as she‘s bulling her blonde back, tucking in cruel pump-shots into Adrianne downstairs.
On ref‘s breaks: steady, jamming power off Righetti‘s left shoulder, sending jolts down Palicki‘s lithe body – the champ‘s pivoting right from Adrianne‘s flanks, avoiding right hands. Final minute: rhythmic jabs, stubby lil‘ hooks get Rigs leverage, position – she‘s working off Palicki‘s left shoulder at ropes, writhing, putting her brawn to blonde‘s tummy/tits. Action winds down – Adrianne finally pours in the righty! Girls in nice trade of jabs, as hard rights EXPLODE off the shot – Palicki‘s whack skids just off Righetti‘s left ear, not hitting much face but she‘s got Rigs blinking, re-positioning! Down the stretch: faster pivots, as Righetti‘s jabbing, driving Palicki to back/corners again – Adrianne‘s long legs lope, tack out to left/right, making a show off walking by Amanda‘s flanks/front with hands low.
Inside the champ‘s corner during break: “She‘s all about the right hand, Amanda. When you‘re workin‘ n‘ grindin‘ her down at the ropes – she‘s helpless!“
R2 Adrianne adjusts, working behind a longer, faster jab, upping the tempo and using her reach/height to good, thumping effect. Fast pivots, loping steps around Amanda‘s right flank – slick, snappy jabs keep popping off Righetti‘s forehead/raised guard as shorter redhead‘s bobbin‘, steppin‘ back n‘ forth. Slinging work from AP during first minute: a shuffling double jab plops in right between Amanda‘s mitts, nicely spanking her to nose/cheek! Short reaction right hands both SLANT DOWN hard and thick into opposing breadbaskets – shots would pitch little flyweights out of their stance and leave them breathless, but big welter girls just groan, tense up buttocks and resist! Adrianne‘s fast, alert – a suckin‘ lil‘ left hook scrubs up on Righetti‘s right mitt/cheek, winning the exchange with her aggressor‘s pop. Girls circle out, but Palicki‘s now in a leggy, tall pursuit of Righetti – a drumming jab‘s keeping a steady drill as redhead bobs n‘ stoops, forced to tack out, leg it.
Minute mark: more leggy control, Palicki – she‘s stooping that long, glorious torso, weight on left foot, and LICKING a sly lil‘ hook upside Righetti‘s trunkline. Short reaction right, Amanda! Rigs groaning from tummy shot, leaning right: her right hand just plops up smooth, effortlessly, tapping rail-straight to Palicki‘s ear! Staggers, blinking eyes – now Adrianne‘s reeling out, her long legs shaky, wobbly-butt! Sloshing mid-ring exchanges as hard, THUDDING punches trade to prepared defenses, strong arms – power, tempo dictates Palicki to ropes. Adrianne setting up earmuff, hands placed nice n‘ tight – short, strappin‘ hooks licking Palicki‘s waistline/flanks as Righetti stoops, shifts weight constantly, gets her hips into these shots. Grunts, grimaces – Palicki‘s in a wide-legged stance, riding butt on ropes, blocking shots to elbows, trying to pull down Amanda‘s arms for long-limbed clinches. Round rightly scored a draw – both girls‘ strengths clearly on display.
R3: Adrianne fielding a two-pronged strategy – one, she‘s trying to dictate the rangy jab action with her taller height/reach, WHIPPING those long, slick left hands of hers to Amanda‘s blocking guard as girls stalk around. Second, she‘s bringing in more of the dangerous right hook – sharp, belting shots clubbing away flat, aggressive against Righetti‘s ears/mitts to end jab-jab-cross combinations. Hard early trade – girls close range via jab, lean in for straight opposing right hands to jawline/mouths, THEN hope to scrub home the right cross/hook for some real friggin‘ damage. Palicki‘s explosive right hand‘s ready to fight: blonde‘s roaming a lot of canvas, as legs constantly shift, hop, slide – lots of sudden range changes hope to walk a bobbin‘, tightly configured Rigs into that massive, splashing righty! Danger‘s got Righetti hesitant, not putting Palicki‘s butt ropeside as planned – only fast head-bobs, shoulder-skids escape the champ from thudding skull contact to Adrianne‘s major weapon. Righetti hopping on the spot, feinting to move, usually sliding out, re-hopping – Adrianne smiles, stalking her way forward, pounding drumming jabs to ‘Manda‘s raised guard, stooping to land jagged body hooks to redhead flanks/tummy meat.
Mid-round: girls double up jabs, pivoting faster, more aggressive – long jabs prep the hard, BELTING lateral right hand! Redhead‘s shorter right just skids off Palicki‘s jaw/neck – Adrianne‘s own right tears away to Righetti‘s cheek/ear, sending her away in sputters n‘ baby-steps, wide-eyed n‘ stumbling! Peek-a-boo stance, Righetti, sliding ropeside: Adrianne shifts weight, buggy-whipping her lanky crosses to both sides of Amanda‘s strong tummy/lats. Hard tapping connect‘s got Righetti stooping, hunching – AP‘s ready to work her over butt-on-ropes! Palicki sets up her left shoulder in Amanda‘s rack, clubbing short, palming left/right crosses to redhead ears/forehead, hoping to twitch open the guard. Righetti‘s sturdy, but groaning, face in gloves – she‘s sliding out left, stalked, pressed into cables by Palicki‘s tall leverage.
Down the stretch: Palicki‘s positioned in dominant fashion off Righetti‘s left shoulder, stooping to pound flat rights to Amanda‘s mid-riff – Righetti belts back a short-connect right hand blast to Adrianne‘s left ear, stumbling blonde out of her stance, easing pressure just before the bell. Inside the Palicki corner during break: “We‘re liking that Righetti‘s starting to think about your right hand – we think she‘s a little scared of it, AP! Ya need ta get her the jitters, girl.“
R4: Righetti responds to Adrianne‘s tall aggression, trying to freeze Palicki‘s legs now – punches sweep thru blonde defenses, as the redhead jams her palms-down jolts to her challenger‘s head/shoulders/rack/arms. Pounds, weight-of-shot hitting Palicki sturdy n‘ solid – she‘s getting bashed, retreating via slinging hooks down redhead tummy during leggy outward circles. At minute mark: fighting range‘s shortened as girls stand n‘ deliver, trading more sock – girls roll shoulders, slip n‘ stoop, rise for dramatic, pitching lil‘ hooks! And ‘Manda locates Palicki‘s jaw-line, landing it clean, tapping it via her SMOOTH left hooks – blonde‘s strong legs feel the tremble as her thighs soak up these violent short-contact blasts to her chin! Righetti‘s comfort zone: opponent‘s muscled out of her stance, rocked, retreating in earmuff – and it‘s friggin‘ grind-down time, Amanda Righetti! Slip n‘ stoop – a short left‘s stuffed deep into Palicki‘s gut, folds her up hurt, bent all awkwardly. A short rail-straight left hand slips thru Adrianne‘s mitts – a nice lil‘ head snap, blonde eyes fast a-blinkin‘ as Palicki doesn‘t anticipate the punch! And you just know the drill: Righetti‘s hands shovin‘, palmin‘, using her forearms to push off Palicki in true big-girl fashion – Big Rigs straps a THICK right roundhouse into Adrianne‘s gut/tummy, bunching her foe all up into grimaces!
Final minute: Righetti doing her work like crazy – jamming punches sweep and pound to Adrianne‘s raised arms, steer her around by blasts to shoulders/rack, forcing constant adjustments, lil‘ slide-backs from the tall blonde. Lots of lateral hops/steps, Righetti, her head bobbing up/down, left/right, switching across Palicki‘s fronts – she‘s being very alert in anticipation of Adrianne‘s committed right hands. Just down the stretch: an explosive right hand splutters just by Righetti‘s face – short step-right‘s got Amanda to Palicki‘s left flank, imediately JAMMING a short right to blonde‘s ear/cheek, ringing it ka-ching! The jack-hammer shot blasts blonde head starboard – she‘s tumbling away to her right on sound of bell, legs hazy, eyes showing hurt.
R5: Girls stalk each other flat-footed, pivoting slowly, smoothly – both pounding away flat jabs/straights to strong opposing guard/defense. Palicki‘s height/reach‘s a well-oiled machine, giving her better leverage, ring control when used to her advantage – her clubbing outtake‘s out-pacing Righetti, walking her into tall stiff poke, spreading redhead out. Inside the first minute: fast, driving jabs exchanged – tempo/reach drives action into Righetti‘s corner…girls bend into short, sucking right hands! Hard, poppin‘ smack lands on Amanda‘s jaw/mouth – her long reach‘s creating moments for big blonde! Righetti‘s head takes a ricochet to the right on impact – she‘s making baby-steps out, hands at tummy, her shoulders sagging, as Adrianne‘s staring all wide-eyed, grinning big. Wild overhand right hand, Palicki! Long, powerful shot lunges out hard in pursuit, pouring all the way through to Righetti‘s temple/ear – ‘Manda sputters into ropes, just propped up by her butt on the cables! Righetti forms autopilot earmuff, trying to ride things out, setting her legs broadly apart. Short left hook – goes ooh-oomph into redhead tummy/ribs. Left uppercut – clubs to right ear/cheek. Right uppercut – clubs to left ear/raised arm. Thumping power, shellack – and Righetti‘s sturdy chassis is getting worked over hard by a determined, hungry blonde!
Ref‘s break at mid-round mark – Adrianne being smooth n‘ tall, walking shorter redhead around, laying arms tight around her hips/tits. Girls jabbing, hoping to score the monster right cross – then both falling in hard, tight, squirming. Palicki‘s height a problem for sturdy Rigs – Adrianne‘s squeezing down, taking a protesting Amanda‘s head under her arms, eyes peeking all innocent until ref orders break. Final minute – girls a little more hesitant, stalking each other, shelling hard to guards/arms, shimmying around in more cautious fashion. Late: Righetti finally using the bob‘ n‘ weave for a fast attack again – comes up snarling inside range, POPPING a hard slanting right hand into Adrianne‘s breadbasket, making Palicki feel her power again!
Inside Righetti‘s corner during break: “Adrianne‘s tall – but we want YOU feeding her the jab, ‘Manda. Time to get the initiative again – your fight, your rules, champ.“
R6: Girls trade some stiff mid-ring (long) jabs, (short) right hands for control, initiative – this time, Righetti‘s able to set the pace, starting to punish Palicki to the body. It‘s a hard-bashin‘ lefty poke: rhythmic blasts club to Adrianne‘s guard/skull, slowly softening her up – leggy side-steps, head-movements walk Rigs out of most of Adrianne‘s tall jabs/hooks, keeping up pressure on blonde. Thudding one-two pressure happening – stiff jabs as Amanda‘s turning Palicki‘s flanks, and straight FLASHY right hands off Righetti‘s right shoulder that just start a-shellin‘, and puttin‘ Palicki in danger. Minute mark: Adrianne bobbing tall, bendy on the spot, leans in aggressively – gets caught a long, smooth cross flush to jaw! A lil‘ stoop heaves Amanda‘s short, stiff body hook into blonde paunch, tensing things up in Palicki‘s mid-riff – smooth pivots walk Rigs off, as Adrianne attempts to stalk her, hands up, but torso tilting a lil‘ off to her side. Righetti takes a bite!
Redhead luring her blonde forward, dangling the left hand as weight‘s on left heel – a short, stingin‘ left hook fits to blonde jawline/cheek! A groan, Palicki, eyes betraying a moist shock – she‘s wobbly-butt, placing her hands either side of temples. Blonde doing pack-pedal cycles, eyes blinking – Righetti snarls, arching her back for a thudding left/right whack to Palicki‘s flanks/lats. Turnbuckle: big blonde riding the cables all earmuffed – and Righetti shrugs her a short lefty uppercut, splitting mitts with a bang! Short right hand – fits to Adrianne‘s jaw like a jack-hammer! Palicki staggering left/right in confusion, her glorious long legs just a wobbly hot mess – she‘s pitched against ropes, as legs fail under her! Righetti cooly stepping off, letting her blonde TUMBLE TO THE CANVAS – she‘s a scrambling blonde heap! Ref shouts the count down at a helpless blonde – Palicki‘s blinking fast, her long legs quivering, body spasming – she beats the count a shabby 8! Palicki‘s legs shivering like a new-born lamb‘s – she somehow rights, stiffens, cycling away from Righetti as a mild ref resumes the action!
Final minute‘s a pound-out as Palicki takes the drubbing of a lifetime – ‘Manda bulls on top instantly, reaching hard around her foe‘s arms/chest aggressively, taking her blonde from ropes to ropes for a sequence of beatdowns. Palicki‘s guard‘s up, her eyes dimmed, but alert – and she‘s getting pasted! Righetti snuggling up close – pulling wrists/arms down, clubbing away to temples/ears, burying hard, heartless smacks into blonde‘s ribs/tits. Down the stretch – Adrianne‘s a punch sponge as Righetti‘s clubbing away on her, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat. A sturdy chin, stiff legs, heart, you name it – but Palicki somehow makes it to the bell, pretty much out on her feet.
Inside Righetti‘s corner, the redhead champ‘s showing rare signs of frustration to coach: “She‘s supposed to be on the canvas, man...I‘ve destroyed that chick.“ – Meanwhile, emergency work‘s happening on battered Adrianne: thighs get massaged, her face patched up, smelling salts used for a sniveling blonde.
R7: Adrianne circling out immediately – her hands outstretched, blocking, she‘s setting up a tall walking earmuff stance, hopping to rope-a-dope, neatly pulling down Righetti‘s arms, bringing down her long arms on redhead neck/shoulders, stumbling girls into messy clinches. Rigs knows what to expect: she‘s trying to be patient, take back thudding control – she‘s constantly forced to wrestle her way free of Palicki‘s arms, using bump n‘ shove tactics, seeking eye contact to ref for faster breaks. First minute‘s a total slugfest – Adrianne pretty much constantly leaning inside/over Righetti‘s tik-tok jabs to close range, falling in, grabbing, holding on. Big girls bumpin‘, stumblin‘ back and forth – Rigs wants to work, trying to create lil‘ spots, palming blonde‘s elbows, pushing off, swatting thick pounds either side of Adrianne‘s lanky torso/flanks. Palicki slowing things down, still fighting n‘ moving with an exhausted shimmer in her eyes – just bearing down hard on redhead shoulders, making Big Rigs immobile.
Mid-round moments set up blonde challenger for gruesome scenes at ropes again – Rigs‘s now strongly positioned off blonde chest, pulling down her wrists, cuffin‘ n‘ clubbing to torso/skull. Adrianne‘s awake, leaning head past top rope, starting to roll shoulders, work more – she taps a short, smooth straight to Rigs‘ ear in close contact, shrugging it like a beaut! Sudden glance of hurt in ‘Manda‘s eyes as sturdy legs stomp n‘ sputter for balance – Palicki walks HER out of the ropes! Blonde arching, stretching her butt out back – a nice lil‘ leaned-in righty hook goes splash to Righetti‘s ear again! Numbing shots ease Righetti‘s firm pressure – she‘s mouthbreathing, hopping out, forming a tighter guard, stabilizing her legs. Final minute – Righetti‘s jab‘s trying to be rangy, controlling...blonde‘s legs a lil‘ faster now, side-stepping, still falling in hard/clingy when she can.
Down the stretch – short trade of jabs/right hands stoops Palicki to corner/ropes again...she‘s gasping at a mean lil‘ tappin‘ hook to her tummy. Righetti‘s there again, positioned off her chest, touchin‘ her girl up fierce via jabs to guard/skull up top – while SCRUMPTIOUS right hands wreak havoc inside Palicki‘s gut as redhead zooms from left to right, making Adrianne take weight, forcing will on blonde foe. Bell: Righetti pushes off big, grinning and upbeat– but she‘s actually given up the points in a close-fought heat despite Adrianne‘s shabby, disheveled appearance. “You‘re a freakin‘ lioness!“, Gena Lee Nolin shouts at Palicki during break – Sceej team not sure how, but their girl‘s survived another round.
R8: Palicki legs look shabby n‘ groggy: she‘s skidding across the canvas more than she‘s hopping or loping – Righetti‘s eyes appropriately harden with concentration, setting up a devastating siege at ropes/corners. Short trades at mid-ring open things – a long slingin‘ left hand STEALS to blonde mouth, opening up a nasty cut, swelling it ugly. Long, tall blonde wilting on impact, oscillating for balance – she‘s immediately sliding ropeside, staying in a weak peek-a-boo, her hands placed just off temples, trying to walk Righetti into the occasional thick, but sluggish left hand.
Amanda stalking her girl smoothly, head tacking alertly to left/right, bobbing her hips to stay in constant motion – low smacks POUND AWAY at blonde‘s flanks/tummy, putting a spank to Adrianne‘s proud gut. A good minute in: Righetti stepping closer, walking head just into opposing guard, shoving blonde hard past top rope – a few half-steps back create a lil‘ more range...she can start working Palicki over! Redhead‘s left arm paws down Palicki‘s mitts, tapping gruesome left crosses/hooks to blonde jaw-line/forehead – single-shot blasts to sides of skull/temples start penetrating Adrianne‘s guard, repeatedly draping blonde‘s head past top rope in dramatic knocks, sad lil‘ jerks.
Mid-round mark: Palicki a proud, humbled blonde, taking long, wide-legged steps around Amanda‘s flanks, blocking poke to arms/elbows, using every inch of available canvas. Adrianne‘s near her own turnbuckle, arms dangling, feinting head/torso motions while hopping on the spot: Righetti pursuing her, constantly shifting weight/position – redhead times her blonde via a measuring yo-yo jab, then slanting down that hard, PUMPING right hand to her foe‘s mid-riff, RISES, then comes down POKING the short left hook to Palicki‘s mouth! Adrianne‘s flabber-gasted – folds up weak n‘ squirmy in a clinch, as Righetti bulls n‘ rushes her blonde to turnbuckle, leaning in n‘ out and smacking flanks. Final minute – Palicki not entirely passive. Blonde using ropes for good measure, trying to fit back SOME short-poke righties when Righetti‘s close, or swiping left-hooks across Amanda‘s jaw front.
Down the stretch: thudding overhand left taps atop Palicki‘s right mitt, spills her ropeside again, all queasy-legged, sniffing. Righetti sets up sturdy shoulder in Adrianne‘s rack – WHACKING side-palm rights clobber at blonde‘s head, swooning her alongside the perimeter. Bell: Palicki‘s just tying up around Amanda‘s sturdy neck/shoulders, moaning, her eyes flat/dim. Blonde‘s a tripping, quivering beauty on her way to corner – slumps down hard, leans her back against turnbuckle, closing eyes in utter exhaustion. Sceej team‘s motivating her, slapping cheeks hard – a confused Adrianne just mumbles back “I‘m not quittin‘, I‘m not quittin‘.“
R9: Palicki a tired, worn down beauty after eight rounds of Amanda – the spring of her step‘s gone, just grim heart n‘ stamina carry her on both feet now. Adrianne trying to walk Righetti into that gorgeously long left-hand STICK, slinging it wide n‘ hard as she‘s back-pedalling, circling canvas – Big Rigs‘s still able to flip in n‘ out of range, weaving inside AP‘s left, stomping her the short lefty and righty hooks to Palicki‘s mid-riff/rack, controlling her blonde‘s body via plenty of oomph. Righetti not leaving tall blonde any control inside clinches – it‘s a just steady shovin‘, jostlin‘, grindin‘...she‘s using her up! Righetti‘s broad muscular back glistening with hard-working sweat, muscles tense – short smacks pound at Palicki‘s flanks as girls walk and Amanda‘s in control of blonde‘s hips/core.
Minute mark: sluggish, depleted steps walk Palicki into traps at ropes/turnbuckles, breathing hard, eyes blinking fast behind peek-a-boo guard – Righetti‘s beating her up big-girl! Adrianne setting up a broad-legged, sturdy defense, hands at temples: ‘Manda‘s shouldering her, arms pulling down wrists to create lil‘ spots of mayhem clouts – short, clubbing shots numbing Palicki‘s head, leaving her in stupor, open-mouthed. Adrianne‘s still reactive, doing enough to stop the ref from ending things – always shifts her guard back up, using lil‘ palm-shoves to shoulder try n‘ shove Rigs off, her legs attempt to step around Amanda‘s flanks, return her to wider canvas. Amanda dipping her right shoulder, stooping STOUT right hands beneath Adrianne‘s elbows, clubbing the short, lefty hook to blonde‘s right ear/temple – steady fury of jolts to her head‘s got Palicki‘s eyes dimming!
Final minute – Righetti workin‘, bull-rushin‘ her girl. Big Rigs fighting off her blonde‘s chest, staying close, caging her foe up – girls trade short-contact lefts, rights! Righetti active, setting a faster rhythm, using more jerking power – hands constantly paw at wrists to jolt shots to Adrianne‘s jawline, beneath her elbows as action drifts from ropes to ropes.
Adrianne fitting back some short, stubby lefts to tits, steadily driven backward n‘ stalked as girls stay close, bodies touching. Palicki just leaning her head/back away from a short, jolting left hook to ear – besieged blonde JAMS a sudden, pumping lefty cross to Amanda‘s left jawline! Oh, she‘s hurt Amanda! Righetti takes an oblique lil‘ jolt on shot impact – dominant redhead suddenly stumbles away to right/back, hands low, torso tilting to the side a bit sheepishly, her eyes showing an odd swoon. Adrianne steps-to – a nasty jab to tits freezes Righetti‘s legs, STIFFENS her into better position! And Adrianne wields the freakin‘ axe! Blonde stepping-to, leaning all into a right hand swat CRASHING to Righetti‘s left ear – SHUTS OFF ALL POWER from redhead champ! Sweeping impact pretty much lifts Rigs off her feet, as eyes roll back dramatically, plonks her down on the canvas with a hard thud! ‘Manda‘s arms arms flop up around her head, legs stretch out long – she‘s all sprawled out! Crowd gasps in a silent shock – Adrianne stares down at fallen redhead, taking deep, hard breaths, her eyes still dim. Righetti JOLTS awake with a tremble during the count – her right leg/knee twitches up sadly, rises, eyes flickering in confusion as head still lolls gently back n‘ forth. The champ‘s moaning softly, her eyebrows arching in dazed wonder – strong shoulders still stirring on the ground weakly as the ten count‘s passing her by. History‘s being made, as Amanda Righetti‘s era of TOTAL dominance at welter‘s finally been stopped: it‘s really happened – and Adrianne Palicki‘s the NEW welterweight champion of the world via a KO9!
After: Adrianne sinks to her knees, hiding her face in gloves, sobbing uncontrollable tears of utter triumph. Sceej team rushes in on her from all sides (Jenny Mac, Gena Lee Nolin), wildly patting her on the back – “You did it, girl, you freakin‘ did it – you‘re the champ!“, as blonde‘s eyes betray she‘s still all dumbfounded, not fully realizing what‘s just happened. Moments later, Righetti‘s gently brought around in stages on her stool, gets slapped to her cheeks, almost skidding of her stool, muscles all rickety – she‘s still pretty out of it, a sniveling, dethroned beauty.
Post-fight interview in the ring: Adrianne‘s back‘s still shiny with sweat, a towel wrapped around her, that pretty face BATTERED puffy and unrecognizable, eyes swollen to slits, but all grins n‘ giggles in a stop n‘ go interview – “I knew my right hand was up to the job. When I saw she was suddenly vulnerable – I just knew that was my moment. Amanda being Amanda, of course, I don‘t think I‘ve ever felt more ass-kicked than I did along the way, but I did it, I stopped her – I stopped the most dominant woman in boxing like a sledgehammer!“
Girls hug after the interview, patting broad, muscular backs in friendly, classy atmosphere – “I‘ve had her out on her feet in the sixth and way beyond,“ a recovered Amanda sighs, her title defense streak ending at a breathtaking 12. “Can‘t blame the ref – it‘s my job to finish girls, and I didn‘t. We knew Adrianne could dish out a right hand like that – it just happened to be my turn to walk into it tonight. Adrianne‘s a truly classy champ, no doubt – it couldn‘t have happened to a nicer, more deserving girl. I‘m looking forward to seeing her title run. It‘s tough to see those belts around her waist after they‘ve been mine for more than a year. But I WILL get them back. Sooner than you think.“
