Shenae Grimes vs Roxanne Pallett
(FCBA Independent vs Kear's Kats)
(8-6, 8 KO vs 11-10, 11 KO)
Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: Shenae Grimes isn't your everyday free agent as Jessica Lowndes' sparring partner in the LCA gym which she uses into great effect herself having combined a 8-6 overall record thus far. Meanwhile Roxanne Pallett has enjoyed more success on this side of the Atlantic which has surprised many experts still dwelling on her BBU punchbag forays back in the old country:
"Look, I'm here to win... again! Shenae is back-up value plus Canadians never get any real respect in America! I'm just gonna come in and blow her doors off so she worships ME as the superior woman!" (giggles).
"Gawd, Roxy is just a tiny little brat who should have stayed in Britain! She's gonna pay for disrespecting my beloved Canada with her blood! I'm gonna rearrange her goofy face and that's a promise!"
Shenae Grimes wears a red crop top with white trim, matching hotpants and white gloves with a red maple leaf painted on them. Long dark brown hair wrapped in a loose bun at the back of her head. Roxanne Pallett wears a black one-pieced swimsuit & blue gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.
Round 1:
Both girls jump into a high-octane jabbing that sends the sparks flying however it's Shenae who lands the better punches and begins to rock Pallett's head around. Ugh! Guess that gym work with Jessica Lowndes can elevate anyone's game as Roxy lears it the hard way; she gets bounced around onto the ropes but refuses to back off and tries to beat the Canadian in the slugging drill. Not gonna happen - Shenae bursts into her lips with great venom and leaves a swollen mark of her opening round dominance as she has Roxy gasping in discomfort at the bell.
Round 2:
Grimes works the head-hunting drive again but Roxy adds more juice to her response so both hellcats settle for a crowd-pleasing punchfest with no clear winner after the opening minute. Roxy makes the first break in an otherwise one-dimensional production as she slams the younger brunette on the ribs and camps into her midsection thereafter which Shenae struggles to embrace. Pallett leans on her with more oomph and gradually backs her onto the ropes where she unleashes more ribcage pounding to shut the Canadian down; Grimes clinches her at first but still gets pounded on the tummy and slumps into spasms herself as Roxy punches the air in delight at the bell.
Round 3:
More ribcage pounding leaves Grimes vulnerable in the opening minute. She tries to swing back onto Pallett's swollen lips again but wilts under the body assault and backpedals around the area with Roxy stalking her in back & forth fashion. So much for that old BBU punchbag style that marked the early days of the Brit's career. She's the one coming with a head of steam now as she eventually traps Shenae on the ropes and lays it into her guts to the point she doesn't even register the bell and blasts the ailing Canadian with extra pressure as the referee is slow to react.
Round 4:
Shenae gets some coaching help from LCA's Eva Mendes here and she resumes the head-hunting drill beating the lively Brit for pace. Roxy thinks she's on the verge of knocking her for down for the count alas she becomes careless in her slugging approach and slumps on her heels when she gets smoked with a brutal uppercut. Shenae's follow-up finds the same target and another wild hook carries her forearm into Pallett's nose sending the plucky Brit into full-scale retreat. Disaster strikes moment later as Roxy trips over her feet and wobbles to the side just as Shenae NAILS her with a brutal hook on the jaw and SENDS THE BRIT CART-WHEELING ONTO THE CANVAS!!! Uh-oh!!! Poor Roxy just didn't see that piledriver coming and she's left spread eagle for the merciless count to burst her bubble! EIGHT... NINE... TEN... Yer OUT!!! KO4 Shenae Grimes!!!
AFTER: Kear's Kats coach Gail Kim struggles to embrace this loss as Pallett was right there to smoke Grimes out of the water before she got caught with a sudden buzzsaw of misery! You don't see many contending flyweights fold like that but there's a reason Roxanne just isn't that highly ranked despite a change of fortunes since coming over from BBU. And she'll have to lick Shenae's feet as punishment next - when she regains her whereabouts since she's still woozy when the verdict is officially announced!
Official Result: Shenae Grimes def. Roxanne Pallett KO4.
