Beau Garrett vs Brooke Burns
(3-10, 2 KO vs 1-5-1, 1 KO)
BWO Rankings: #177 vs #266
Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Beau Garrett's career was thought to be over when she got destroyed by Katy Perry on the Asylum PPV but the Beverly Hills native still earned a paycheck off Charlize Theron after that so there is something left in her tank after all. However former Baywatch star Brooke Burns believes she can score an easy win tonight and vows to "blow Beau up like a random tramp she obviously is!" That's a rich comment from someone with one victory in seven FCBA bouts but we're digging real deep into the lightweight rankings with these two! Brooke remains only three places above the 'Prejean Zone' and she wants to move up! Beating Garrett - she of #166 position - should elevate the Texas blonde into Top 200 and that's not too shabby for someone who got killed off in swimming pool on Melrose Place as a post-Baywatch TV career highlight!

Beau Garrett wears a black bikini set & silver gloves. Light brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Brooke Burns wears a red bikini set & yellow gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Beau comes out firing and blasts the blonde across the face which folds Brooke into an instant earmuff cover. This allows Beau to work with that head-hunting slice until Brooke is forced to do something about it which leads into a hectic back & forth dispute in the center of the ring. Brooke finally lands a couple of promising shots into the brunette's face but lacks genuine strenght to make Garrett really feel it while the younger actress responds with more accurate jabs up the middle. Both women continue to dish out a slightly half-hearted punishment but the numbers go up come the final minute and Garrett bends the blonde sideways with a wild hook on the brow ridge. Burns tries to swing from the back foot but just misses over Beau's shoulder and eats another cruel punch flush on the mouth right at the bell.

Round 2:
Garrett speeds up her approach but has Burns looking a little desperate already - or maybe hungry for some boxing action after such a lenghty break. Both women lock horns in another head-hunting pursuit with shear desire getting the better of actual production. Neither of these two yields an inch but it's Brooke who lands the best punch of the exchange as she drives one in on the brunette's jaw and wobbles her to the side. Beau struggles to connect swinging thru the air from the back foot and gets backed onto the ropes as the blonde piles on extra body assault to avoid the somewhat desperate high-guard. Beau clinches her foe once she gets pushed into a trap but Burns muscles ahead with quick shots to the body and keeps the younger woman pinned deep on the ropes. She pierces more midsection in the process and even lands an accidental headbutt on the nose to leave Garrett scowling in protests at the bell.

Round 3:
More blonde pressure up the middle leaves Beau dancing around on her toes but she struggles to escape Brooke's attacks and has to accept another slugging test inside the proverbial phone booth. Brooks fancies her chances and lets those shots fly before a quick slant on the jaw halts her progress. Beau is slow to cash in on her chance though and gets clinched before Burns muscles her onto the ropes where she regains control by pounding the brunette to the body again. Beau tries to pull Brooke down on the canvas but eats more body shots and caves in amid some loud spasms which only fuel the blonde's desire to really punish her. The former Baywatch babe gets vocal as she drills more tummy but also lands a quick uppercut double to bury Garrett butt-in-ropes come the two-minute mark. Garrett tries to escape the hole but doesn't find enough strenght and enables Burns to clean out shop late in the going to forge ahead on the scorecards.

Round 4:
Brooke comes in hot and believes she's got Beau all figured out but she shoots over her shoulder with the initial burst and gets whacked on the mouth from the inside as the brunette steps up and punks the suddenly vulnerable blonde. Ugh! Brooke's head snaps back upon impact and she cries out in pain as Beau landed just about the biggest punch of this bout; she follows through on the temple and has the blonde slumping... another wild hook on the jaw and Brooke explodes into spasms, she's unable to raise her arms anymore and gets SMOKED by a right hook on the nose. She half-spins to the side and CRASHES DOWN ON HER FACE moments later! Uh-oh!!! That's a bad one, folks! The proud blonde gets ragdolled into the point of no return and remains face-down during the otherwise slowish count... NINE... TEN... YER OUT!!! KO4 Beau Garrett!!!

AFTER: Beau gets to cherish a rare victory but she sure made Brooke's jaw look soft there in the end. She laid the blonde out with a nice series but you could see she's fairly limited on raw power value that makes her ranking progress improbable going forward. However for some of these free agents rising above the Asylum PPV cannon fodder is a success already! Some experts said the Katy Perry blowout was the end of the road yet Beau lived to tell another story.

Official Result: Beau Garrett def. Brooke Burns KO4.

Cassidy Freeman vs Christina Hendricks
(Lioness Club of America vs FCBA Independent)
(28-24-1, 24 KO vs 16-9, 14 KO)
Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: It's perhaps a mild surprise these two redhead veterans haven't fought before but the time has come for Cassidy Freeman to test out Christina Hendricks' skill set. Hendricks has finally put the Sofia Vergara rivalry to bed and looks forward to her first fight in 17 months while Cassidy acknowledges her elite spell might well be over at this stage of her career. However she's still up for a good scrap and believes she can ring Christina's bell loud & clear tonight!

Cassidy Freeman wears a black sports bra, matching hotpants & red gloves. Reddish auburn hair tied in a braid. Christina Hendricks wears a silver sports bra, red hotpants & silver gloves. Carrot red hair loose & straight with bangs. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

Round 1:
Christina is thirsty for some boxing action and dominates the early spell thumping crisp punches into the fellow redhead's face. Cassidy tried to take it easy at the start but she's forced into a slugging response that doesn't exactly suit her approach which allows Hendricks to extend her jabbing advantage. She beats Freeman from both flanks and sinks her on her heels before a looping cross on the brow ridge makes the younger actress squeal in discomfort. Hendricks cranks up the jabbing volume again and backs the subdued Cassidy onto the ropes where the Lioness redhead must clinch her foe in order to avoid more trouble.

Round 2:
Another high-flying jabbing start enables Christina to dominate the early action while Cassidy's response only matches the fellow redhead's intensity and provides status quo with the bout being fought on Hendricks' terms. The older woman drives quick half-uppercuts between Freeman's guard and backs her onto the ropes but the former welterweight champion escapes the trap and finds some respite in mid-distance. However Christina makes her look very sluggish and keeps coming forward to the point Cassidy has to rely on her defensive circles instead of maybe lashing out at the fellow redhead. LCA head trainer Claudia Schiffer doesn't like this performance at all but Hendricks maintains the agressive dominance for remainder of the round even though she doesn't punish Freeman beyond the limits anymore.

Round 3:
Christina squares up to Cassidy and bangs her on the breadbasket but the phone booth approach results in some very blatant clinching as Freeman tries to stall the action and halt Hendricks' aggressive blast. The older redhead struggles to punch herself out of this stalemate at first - and she gets no help from the referee either - before a nasty shot on the jaw finally wobbles Freeman backwards. Both veterans trade head shots from afar thereafter and allthough Christina maintains the aggressive tactics, she begins to lose precision and skims off Cassidy's forearms too often. She eventually gets blasted over the top as Freeman rallies late with her best spell of the night that nails Hendricks on the jaw a couple of times and makes her gurgle in pain upon impact.

Round 4:
Cassidy begins to dominate the counter-punching drill and beats Christina for shear aggressive value in the opening minute. The hitherto dominant free agent begins to lose her steam and suddenly bails out of the successful strategy when she gets scythed across the lips a couple of times. Freeman follows through and bursts into her jaw with a vicious left/right combo before knocking her onto the ropes with a shot on the left temple. Hendricks loses her footwork and slumps on the ropes; she fails to escape the Lioness rush and gets blasted on the mouth again as Cassidy cranks up the point-blank range volume that forces the older woman to clinch her in the closing stages.

Round 5:
Christina thinks better off it and for once refuses to rush her slugging drill only for Cassidy to whack her with a booming right hand on the nose instead! Ugh! There's a small gash ripped across Christina's nasal ridge and she's stunned to eat more wild hooks into her mouth that suddenly turn the fight on its head! Freeman rolls back some years and devours Hendricks with some brutal head shots that destroy the older redhead's guard before a left hook on the ear DROPS CHRISTINA FOR THE COUNT!!! Uh-oh!!! How about that! Christina stumbles onto all fours and tries to shake off the daze; she gets up at seven but looks woozy regardless yet she's ahead on points after all so here we go again! Cassidy wrenches her on the wounded nasal ridge and pounds her onto the ropes where Christina's high-guard collapses wholesale and has Freeman carving additional bruises into her opponent's face! AND THE REF STEPS IN to save Hendricks from getting blow away into the orbit!!! TKO5 Cassidy Freeman in come-from-behind fashion!!!

AFTER: Talk about snatching victory from jaws of defeat! Cassidy looked completely lost during the first three rounds where she struggled to embrace Christina's slugging efforts but still came back to stop the menacing cougar! This would have never happened if she battled one of these lanky models several years her junior but match-making wins you fights in first place! Cassidy might not be a true elite contender but she's still gonna beat up some of these veterans alright!

Meanwhile Christina should be kicking herself for losing this fight is such terrible fashion. You don't blow a 30-27 lead on the cards that easily! Perhaps getting the better of Sofia Vergara was the redhead's high-water mark after all. The only way is down?

Official Result: Cassidy Freeman def. Christina Hendricks TKO5.

Feels *weird* to see Cassidy Freeman fighting under the cougar label! But I guess results didn't continue to come for her, so it might have been a good idea to get her some fights this way, though.

Speaking of Smallvile - that was definitely Cassidy's prime! I was always disappointed that no subsequent show or film's ever had her looking like the healthy, big, athletic lass again that she was on that show.

OK nerd alert since I expect Tess Valmore or maybe even Jenny McCarthy to yell it but yeah I agree with Bonzo, I watched Smallville as a let's say late teen and she was badass in that show, even though I never actually remember her winning a fight in it lol

Her and Erica Durance had a great fight on that show, she was a hell of a character and it was a shame I can't remember seeing her after that, I know she was in Vampire Diaries only because of the pictures of her in boxing gloves I'd never watch that show if you paid me
