(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)
Intro:
The second bout in the Diamond Boxing Tournament sees Antje Utgaard and Bridget Regan meet in Bridget's hometown of California, Fantasy Springs Casino the venue for tonights action.
These fighters are on different sides of their career, Antje after capturing her first title, Bridget trying to show she still has it to be an elite fighter in the division, who will come out on top?
Stepping into the FCBA Network's interview room first was Antje, wearing a silver dress as she sits on the stool with a cheeky grin, she asks "is this the best way to sit?" As she places her right leg over her left, then goes "Basic Instinct" as she switches her legs over with a giggle.
"Sorry always wanted to do that, anyway oh the tournament, simply I want to be the best, after being cut by Front Street I have a few things to prove I guess to them and to my stable now that I am worth the effort, I mean you've heard all the selling points on my flexibility, my strength, etc, I'll show what the total package really looks like" says Utgaard as she smiles warmly.
Turning her attention to her opponent, Antje says "Bridget will be a great first opponent to have, she is very skillful, I mean God she is a three time champion, Wiz would talk about her to me as someone to look up to when I started my career, to get a chance to prove I've passed her by will be a lot of fun" chuckling as she thinks about it.
Standing up Antje tells the camera crew "I hope the other girls won't be moody when you talk to them" winking before she walks away with no hint of worry heading into this event.
Meanwhile Bridget heads in to the interview room wearing a maroon dress with white heels, she sits down looking serious, showing how much this tournament means to her with possibly her last chance at getting back into the big money fights.
"It's been a funny feeling the past few weeks, hearing people doubt me after years of being one of the faces of the division, seeing Amanda (Righetti) still in major fights I have to admit has been like a dagger in my side as I try to stay relevant in this division, I don't know what my future is if I fail here" admits the beautiful actress as she takes a deep breath.
"But I have my old friend and sparring partner Moon (Bloodgood) working my corner for this tournament, I've tried to change my diet somewhat up, so I feel as ready as I have ever been for an event like this, by the end of this tournament I want my achievements to be recognized, I want people to remember that two people run this division, I want to earn my shot at a title" Bridget says before standing up.
When asked about Antje, Bridget smiles as she replies "I know I can knock her out, she is uncoordinated and relies purely on power, I've dealt with women like her throughout my career" then heads off the set.
Fight night; out comes Antje first with coach Kelly Hu behind her, Antje jogs down the aisle throwing a few punches as she is smiling warmly at her fans, who are whistling but there are definitely boos mixed in to the crowd reaction.
The blonde bombshell is wearing a white sports bra with black trim, matching trunks and shoes, black gloves, while her hair is braided for the battle, stepping into the ring where she feels the tension of the ropes on her back as she leans into them on her way to her corner.
Out comes Bridget to a heroes welcome, one of the most successful celebrity boxers from this area, she gets a loud chant from her fans as she steps out through the curtain with Moon beside her, Bridget bows to the crowd before jogging to the ring looking deeply serious.
The stunning brunette actress is wearing a black sports bra with gold trim, matching trunks and shoes, gold gloves, while her hair is also braided, she climbs through the ropes, raising her arms into the air as she takes in the deafening cheers, settling into her corner with a nod to Moon as she warms up.
The referee waves the fighters together at the center of the ring, eyes are firmly locked as all both women can see is someone trying to stop them winning this tournament, the referee asks for a touch of gloves, the fighters respectfully touch them up but are quick to return to their corners, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
Starting off working behind their jabs, searching for their range as Bridget is moving more side to side, Antje looks to be trying to stalk the veteran around the ring, but she is mostly missing with her punches as Bridget shows off her defensive skills early.
Firing her punches at the abs of Utgaard, Regan is looking to annoy the younger woman into mistakes it seems, not getting much success though as Antje is sticking to walking her down around the ring, biding her time to strike.
Which after the opening minute she does when she lands a left cross to the cheek of Bridget, opening her up to a straight square into her face to back up Regan, Antje throwing in more stiff punches straight into the face of the brunette as she claims the center of the ring.
But Bridget slips under a straight as her back is near the ropes, coming back at Antje with two rights under her ribs, moving away from the ropes into space again as Antje just misses with another left cross.
The fans are cheering each time Bridget is landing cleanly, the former champion using her footwork mixed with upper body movement to not be pinned down, she is taking a few good hits to the face but is landing more cleanly.
At the bell Bridget looks at Moon with a nod, happy enough how things have started, Antje meanwhile being told to keep loose, Kelly massaging her arms and legs as she senses Antje is tense.
Round 2:
Banging her gloves together as she steps out her corner, Antje is throwing more punches as she tries to drag Regan into her type of fight, Bridget ducking and dodging a lot of her punches though, landing good counter punches in response.
As the first minute goes by, Antje starts to catch out Bridget, feinting with one fist before slamming the other one into the face of the brunette to knock her head back, the crowd trying to rally behind their hero as she tightens her guard up.
Antje soon misses with a straight as Bridget slips it, landing a straight of her own into the chin of Antje, a left cross follows to turn the head of the blonde bombshell to a loud roar from the crowd, who enjoy watching Bridget spread her elbows a bit with hooks flying in to drive back her opponent.
Needing to push Bridget off her, Antje is a little reckless with several looping punches that find air, Bridget showing some of the class that had her at the head of the division in the past, landing digging counter punches into the jaw or body of Utgaard.
Late in the round though Bridget leaves her right a little too low, a left hook smacks into the side of her head, turning it as momentum turns and Regan finds herself being knocked back against the ropes.
The bell rings not long after with Bridget cursing herself, she is off to a good start seemingly on the rounds, problem is how long can she hold off Antje before she can wear her down enough to beat her, Moon wipes down her friend as Bridget looks deep in thought.
Across the ring Antje gets told off Kelly "see you can hurt her, don't let her breath or she'll show you what a real elite fighter looks like" Antje nods as she knows Kelly is right.
Round 3:
Both are going at it more as Bridget seems to think she needs to stick on the inside more, she gets in several good body shots before taking a few clubbing blows to the side of her head to force her back.
Reading Bridget better now as they move around the ring, Antje is starting to really put her punches together, snapping back the head of Bridget with two to three punch combos to get the crowd a little worried.
They have more reason to be when Antje leans out the way of an overhand right, snapping back the head of Bridget with a jab/straight in return as she works back the actress to the ropes, thudding punches to her body when Regan lifts her guard up, the brunette grimacing as she groans out loud.
Needing to clinch up with Antje, Bridget has some swelling under her right eye, the referee needing to break them up as Antje presses Bridget into the turnbuckles with her body, pressing her boobs into Bridget's smaller set as if to show how physically inferior Regan really is to her.
Once apart Bridget comes back at Antje, giving her fans a reason to have hope as she forces the blonde to back up behind her gloves, slamming in more punches to the body till she gets a right hook clean across her jaw.
Back goes Bridget to ropes near the judges table, they get to see Bridget being beaten in the final ten seconds, her sweat being sent over them as Antje gives the legend no quarter up until the bell rings, where she jogs back to her corner as Bridget slowly returns to hers, the crowd quieter now as only the diehard Regan fans chant for her.
Round 4:
Bridget comes out trying hard to match Antje's work rate, she doesn't have the power though to match up with the bombs she is taking, a cut opening up under her right eye from a left hook shows how hard Utgaard hits.
An uppercut sends Regan stumbling into the ropes as the crowd gasps, ANTJE MAKES IT WORSE WHEN SHE LANDS A RIGHT HOOK FLUSH ON THE BUTTON, GUMSHIELD GOES FLYING AS BRIDGET TUMBLES TO HER RIGHT SIDE WITH A THUD!
Antje doesn't celebrate as she heads to the neutral corner, the referee checks on Bridget, THEN WAVES THE FIGHT OFF AS BRIDGET IS KNOCKED OUT COLD IN BRUTAL FASHION!
Winner Antje Utgaard KO Round 4
After:
Other then a few marks really around her body, Antje looks almost as good as she started, she still doesn't celebrate much other then to say "yes" with her fists clenched, not wanting to rile the crowd up by celebrating beating their icon of celebrity boxing.
The ringside doctor is in the ring with Moon to check on Bridget, who stirs awake after getting the smelling salts treatment, asking if she got hit by a bus as she shields her eyes with her right glove while rolling to her back staring at the lights.
Giving Bridget a quick check over, the ringside doctor asks for help getting her safely out the ring, wanting to make sure she'll be out after that nasty knockout shot, Antje even comes over after getting her gloves off to check on Bridget.
After Bridget is helped by two medics out the ring, Moon pats Antje on the shoulder with a nod to show her respect for a dominant win in the end, then joins Bridget heading to the back as the crowd applaud Regan, who could be in for a long seven months if all her fights end as badly.
In the ring Antje gets her hand raised by the referee, she looks a little somber as she simply nods to the crowd, who give her a round of applause too, they didn't enjoy the result but Antje showed she deserves respect.
Kelly gives Antje a pat on her back as they talk about the fight, Antje finally smiles as Kelly tells her "one down, just six more to go" Antje thanks Kelly for helping her out tonight, keeping her focused on the task as she knows she started off the fight too slowly, a risk she maybe can't take against the other rivals in this tournament.
For now she has earned a hot shower as she steps out the ring with Kelly, Antje might very well physically be the best fighter in this tournament, will that be the reason she wins it in the end or will someone stop her charge to the top?
