Samaria Regalado v Jessica Alba
The ladies are looking fantastic at the pre fight conference, Jessica in a black evening gown, all dolled up, charming the cameras with her magnificent smile, Samaria in a red dress tightly hugging her curves, both girls calm and looking well prepared for the press.
"We met at a fantastic apartment lingerie boxing event our lovely association hosted. She did great, no doubt about it. But she's got a lot to learn and I'll teach her a lesson. For her, it's a chance to get in the big league, but it's not going to happen tonight. For me, It's more than just another match. The fight will take place the day after my birthday and it will be a great opportunity to celebrate it with my loyal fans.", says a smiling Jessica.
"This is a very important fight for me, and my team, I finally get to beat a big name I looked up to while she was in her prime. I know she's acting like it's no big deal, but her record says she's desperate to win a fight, so I won't underestimate her, she's got skills, but that won't help her. I don't see her going ten rounds with me, let alone winning the fight, she just doesn't have it in her anymore, she'll soon be what.. forty?", Samaria speaks carefully, picking every word.
"I'm a little disappointed with the new girls, we have many wannabe celebrities keep coming in, but they don't last long enough to make their mark, they're just not any good, they can't fight with the real names in the business, forty or not. You'll see what I mean, after I'm done with her, she'll be back to fighting in that other second class league where second class fighters belong." Alba responds, her opponent's words clearly pushing her buttons.
"Second class? That's not even funny coming from a washed up punching bag who's now into promoting shady private boxing events in undies. And even there, she gets demolished whenever she takes part. Get real, you're at the bottom of the food chain.", a triggered Samaria hisses at Jessica.
"Watch your words lady! ALBA is a top class sports and entertainment show!" Jessica hisses back.
"Look at her protecting her investment." Samaria laughs pointing her finger at fuming Jessica.
"Were you broke or just desperate for any publicity? You said yes to a fight in my event as soon as the phone rang!" shouts Alba.
"This will be a ringer!" screams Samaria as her fist flies towards Jessica, but the actress ducks under and slams a right into her belly.
They go for each other's hair, Samaria tries to swing a punch, but they can't keep their balance in high heels so they crash down to the ground. Security quickly acts and pulls them up and apart to a safe distance.
"I'll beat you up real bad! Teach you some manners!" Jessica screams trying to get free and get hold of Regalado.
"Give me your best, old lady!" Samaria shouts back, the security now dragging both girls out of the press room.
"Forget about modeling after I'm done with you!" comes out of the left side corridor as Jessica is taken away.
"I'm not afraid to show myself in anything, I don't have to hide my age!" comes back from the right side, the conference is officially over.
"Pathetic wannabe!", the last reply from Jessica, shouting from the distance.
"Cougar jobber!" Samaria shouts back.
No one can tell if this was a genuine altercation or an attempt to hype up a filler bout, but soon the social media picked it up, buzzing with all kinds of polls and comparisons in looks, records, celebrity status and skills between the two.
"It's not wise to badmouth any organization in this business, but she'll learn it the hard way. I'm looking way better than the poor wannabe ever will, and I'll show it to all my fans when I beat that anonymous arrogant model." Jessica tweets, to which Samaria responds with:
"To get things straight, I got nothing against the association she's advertising, I support their efforts even if it's all too cheesy, but I can't let a washed up cougar call me second class without promising her she'll eat her words!".
Its fight night, Samaria is the first to walk into the arena and through the ropes. She's quick to get rid of her red robe and reveal a stunning red lingerie set, paired perfectly with her tan stockings, driving loud cheers from the audience. She bangs her red boxing gloves together as the announcer goes through her introduction, showing she really can show up in anything and look fabulous. She seems anxious to ditch her high heels and get ready for the fight ahead.
Next up is Jessica, she walks slowly down the aisle and the crowd gives her a roar of support. She's soon in the ring and out of her black robe, milking more cheers from the audience as she struts around the ring in black lingerie set and black stockings, with her matching black boxing gloves held up high. She blows kisses to her fans and poses for the cameras until she finally goes back to her corner to kick away her heels and do some shadow boxing to warm up. Forty or not, she looks fantastic tonight.
Moments later, the ref invites the ladies to the center of the ring, they touch gloves and 10 rounds of bantamweight action officially begins.
Round1:
In the opening minute, both beauties look cautious, testing each other out. The pace is slow, even boring, after all the hype invested in this match. Jessica slips her jabs through Samaria's guard and keeps her at a distance, but doesn't go much further than that. Samaria is looking for close combat, but she's not up for chasing after Alba, a counter combo into her opponent's midsection seems enough for her.
Jessica's fantastic footwork gets her in a position to sting Samaria's face with a one-two combo from her left side, she bends and ducks under a hook, delivering a sharp right to Regalado's ribs and another left to the face. Samaria's hook is more of a way to shoo Alba away than hurt her, it flies past Jessica's head as she dances away. She comes back confidently with a good jab and a right hook, but then Jessica's face collides with Samaria's right glove, a massive hook sends the actress sideways, knees buckling as she tries to regain balance.
Samaria's on her with a left to the solar plexus and a right overhand to the head. Jessica's shocked and stunned, covering up. She's in a perfect spot for a jug mugging left-right combo and Samaria delivers it, and more. A follow up uppercut through Jessica's guard clips her chin and she's backpedaling on wobbly feet. The curvy model goes in with a jab and a cross just to get close enough for another uppercut, this time she sinks her glove deep into Jessica's abs. With her ass in the ropes, unable to counter efficiently, she takes a proper beating. Samaria lands big blows to her flanks and belly and keeps working on her midsection until the bell, leaving the older girl red faced and holding on to the ropes as she walks away to her corner with a big smile on her face, taking the round wide.
During the break, Jessica takes some harsh words from her coach, both her and her team are definitely not happy with her start tonight. In Samaria's corner, it's all about encouraging the model to keep up the good work.
Round 2:
Just as the bell rings, Samaria goes into attack mode, but her more experienced opponent gracefully dodges her punches and counters. She's on the backfoot, but scoring good shots to the model's face. Regalado has to back off and regroup, but Alba grabs her chance and goes after her, sending a combo to her body once she ducks under her right, but eats a right on her way out. Samaria gets her with another hook and they quickly reset before another exchange. It's a back and forth battle and the pace is now definitely up to the hype of the match.
As the round progresses and reaches the last minute, Samaria finds it hard to deal with Jessica's quick jabs and combos, she can't catch up with the bronzed goddess, but that doesn't stop her from trying. Well aimed left hits Regalado's chin, she seems stunned and takes a right to the boobs, but she's back with an uppercut to the belly and Alba almost doubles over and almost falls forwards into her opponent's arms, but Samaria takes a step back and fires a left-right combo to her face. Jessica's off balance, her feet struggling to get her out of trouble. Samaria catches her flanks with a left, then clubs her with another heavy right that has Jessica reeling into the ropes. The bell rings and Samaria takes the round close, thanks to the explosive finish in the last seconds of the round.
The audience greets both fighters with a big applause as they head back to their corners, they're putting on a great show and the crowd appreciates it. Both fighters look contempt with the fight progress, getting refreshed and advised by their teams.
Round 3:
Samaria is on track with the plan, she starts her attacks by feinting a jab and ducking under Jessica's counter to get her in a spot for some close range body shots. Regalado's tactics work in the opening exchanges and it's Alba who has to step back and keep her foe at arms distance. She does it well and scores a nice combo to Samaria's face, not allowing the younger fighter to land anything significant. Jessica's agility lets her swing at Samaria from different angles and the model seems unable to parry efficiently.
Samaria appears confused, resorting to wild haymakers that hit nothing but thin air, she doesn't seem to have an answer for Jessica's stylish approach. She's still trying to score a punch, but appears static compared to the veteran who's all over the place. And she gets hit, a lot. Jessica's perfectly timed combos find their target with ease. Samaria winces as the leather smacks against her ribs, then splat over her boobs. A stray overhead right catches Jessica on the temple, but her right explodes into Regalado's face, sending her reeling into the ropes. She misses with another right as Jessica comes in close and unleashes a barrage of body blows to her body, managing to trap her in the corner where she proceeds with a left-right combo to her face, followed by an uppercut that almost pops Samaria's right boob out of her bra. A desperate right hook bounces off the left side of Jessica's head stopping her in her tracks, allowing her hurt opponent a chance to grab her in a clinch. Cameras catch a verbal exchange as they lean into each, holding on tight, Jessica's face sporting a bleeding cut over her left eye as she mumbles through her mouthguard. Samaria's face is all red and puffy with a lump under her eye, but smiling, resting her head over Jessica's shoulder. After the ref breaks them up, both girls take a deep breath before the fight continues.
Jessica does a great shoe-shine performance, showing superb technique and grace that made her the champ she used to be in her prime. Samaria boxes like a student trying to learn something new. She's blocking and countering, trying to find how to get to her teacher, but ends on the receiving end. At the bell, both ladies playfully bump their gloves, then give each other a big friendly hug before heading to their corners. The crowd greets their act with a big applause as the hyped up grudge between the two beauties resolves into what looks like mutual respect and a friendly competition after three rounds of beating the crap out of each other. Jessica's been caught cold in the first two rounds, but she takes this one wide, outsmarting and outboxing her younger adversary.
Back in their corners, Samaria's face and body show battle marks, she's hurt, but ecstatic and impatient to get off the stool for the next round, telling her coach how good her opponent is, while he's trying to get her to focus on winning the match. Jessica's also in a good mood, she's turning this fight around, but looks tired and in need of every second of the break as her team work on her cut eyebrow and encourage her to get things done soon.
Round 4:
From the bell, Alba is doing exactly what she promised, giving a boxing lesson to the newcomer. She's peppering her face with crisp jabs, Samaria counters, leaving her body open for a quick combo to the ribs and boobs. And she gets more of Jessica's fine work in the following exchanges. Frustration strikes Samaria, she can't play Jessica's game at her level, big hooks fly through the air hitting nothing, then Jessica hits with confident, timed blows and Samaria's in trouble, backpedaling. Regalado eats more leather on the ropes, then retaliates with a left to the flanks and a right to the belly as Jessica closes on her. It's not enough to repel the Hollywood star, she slams a right to Samaria's cheek, then a left to her right boob. Regalado comes back with a nasty corkscrewed overhand right that hits Jesica on the side of her head and that does the trick. Jessica's face is a grimace of pain as she stumbles backwards, her cut is open and she has to back off and regroup. Samaria not going after her, she takes a breather as if she wonders what to do next.
But Alba knows what to do next, she springs back into action, cheered by her fans, landing a right to Samara's head, then a left to the belly, ducking under a right she pastes another blow to the side of Regalado's head. Instead of dancing back to safety, she stays in close for another set of punishing blows to Samaria's aching body. It's the last minute of the round and the veteran has the fight completely under control. The curvy model is on the backfoot as Jessica comes in with a left jab then a right cross. Samaria fires a check hook as she retreats and it's a perfectly timed bomb to the chin. Jessica instantly stopped in her tracks, stunned, with a blank expression on her face, gloves loosely held up.
Samaria needs no invitation, her right cross splats over Jessica's mouth, her left rattles Alba's body as it digs deep into her belly. Bent forwards, she takes a left flush on the face and before her wobbly legs let go, Samaria clubs her with a right hook that sends her mouthguard flying out of her mouth, and Jessica sprawls into the ropes and down to the canvas. Clutching her aching body, Samaria goes to a neutral corner with a big smile on her face. The crowd is silent as the ref administers the count over the shell shocked Jessica. The Hollywood star is on all fours shaking her head to clear the cobwebs, she grabs on to the ropes and manages to get back up on her feet by the count of 8. Her fans give her loud support while her team helps her put in her mouthguard behind her busted up lips and the ref checks her up, giving her more time to recover. She nods to the ref that she can go on, puts her gloves up and even though the ref is not looking very convinced, he lets the fight continue, knowing the round will be over in a few seconds, and as soon as the fighters approach each other, the bell rings. It's Jessica's round on the score cards, but no one would guess that as the ladies head to their corners, Samaria's hopping with her gloves up while Jessica's leaning on the ropes for support.
Samaria needs attention during the break, but her bruised face is lit up with a big smile. She did great, with just a couple of powerbombs delivered at the right time to the right place, she undoed all the hard work Jessica put in over the last two rounds. Across the ring, the lady who was dominating in the last two rounds, is slumped on her stool, reduced to a battered, bloody mess her team has to deal with. And it's a real team effort, her cutman cleaning her face to work on her cut and swollen eye and busted up lips, her coach kneeling in front of her massaging her legs. It's clear that they can't do miracles after that knockdown, but Jessica is not a quitter, she's a proud fighter and her fans give her big support as she gets off the stool for the next round.
Round 5:
As expected, Samaria is ready to finish off the veteran, but her youth and lack of experience drive her into a wild chase. Even after being put through the grinder, Jessica easily evades the telegraphed bombs and swings sharp hooks tilting Samaria's head in all directions. Alba's punches lack real power, she's no longer dancing with grace, she's more flat footed, moving out of the harm's way and scoring good shots, now focusing on Regalado's hurt body. In the first minute, she gives an impression that she just needs a round to recover to turn the match around, again.
But as the fight goes on, it becomes clear she's just delaying the inevitable. Could it be her age, her half-shut eye or the fact that Regalado is investing all her power in her blows, but the first proper punch that lands on Jessica's face shatters her guard and posture, ragdolling her into the ropes. Just like that, she's back in survival mode, covering up in earmuffs. Samaria's tired of chasing her, she lets out all of her frustration in a combo of right to Jessica's belly, followed by a left that pancakes her right boob into her ribcage and a right that smacks her on the ribs. Jessica's evasive powers are long gone and she takes another gut wrenching barrage. She winces and grunts after another left to the chest and is finally forced to lower her guard and protect her assets. And then, it happens. A right hook sends her off the ropes to the center of the ring, staggering on rubbery legs. A left cross smacks her on the nose, blood spraying all over the first rows in the audience. Samaria's massive right hook explodes into her face and instantly switches her legs off. Jessica collapses to the mat ass-first, then sprawls spread-eagle. Team Regalado is already celebrating, Samaria leans back in the neutral corner and raises her right glove up victoriously. Jessica is still motionless on her back, staring at the ceiling as the count starts, but the ref soon realises that's it for Alba tonight, and calls off the count.
Samaria Regalado wins by a KO in Round 5.
It's a big celebration in Samaria's corner and she's more than eager to speak to the ringside reporters. "This is a big night for me on both professional and personal level! She's a good fighter and I got no beef with her. I respect her, but she got into a fight she couldn't handle. She showed a big heart, but just couldn't handle me." Samaria barks at the press mic, excited and pumped up with the adrenaline as her team cleans her busted up face for the official winner declaration.
Meanwhile, the former champion is still on her back, surrounded by her team and the medics. They get her mouthguard out and check up on her. She manages to get her arms off the ground after a while. Looking at her hands, she seems to wonder why she is wearing boxing gloves. It's all taking too long for the ring officials, they urge team Alba to get their fighter out of the ring and soon, the stretcher arrives. Video beams all over the arena loop the highlights of the match, Jessica showing off her fantastic figure clad in sexy lingerie, strutting around the ring during the intros, shadow boxing, posing for the cameras... but under the ring lights, it's a heartbreaking sight for her loyal fans as after five rounds of boxing, the semi conscious star is literally being scrapped off the canvas and transferred to a stretcher to be carried out of the arena, just to make room for the post fight ceremony. The ref raies Samaria's hand and declares her the winner, she soaks in all the attention from the press and the audience, but leaves the ring and the reporters in a hurry as soon as she can, saying "I gotta check up on her."
Hours later, a video pops up in social media, two fighters cracking jokes and having a good time after their fight. Jessica sitting on the edge of an exam table, Samaria sitting on a chair next to her, both still in their 'fighting attires', blood stained designer's lingerie and laddered stockings. "You were so quick, got me wondering 'where is she, where is she', then boom - straight to my head. I had no idea what to do for most of the time." Samaria says, to which Jessica replies, putting her hand on Samaria's shoulder "But you found me, babe! Look at my friggin eye. It's bigger than my boob!" and they burst into laughter.
That night, Samaria tweets: "What an experience, meeting and beating a true legend of FCBA, a great one, both as a fighter and as a person. Happy birthday, old lady. I got you the best present ever, a much needed reality check." with lots of smileys and heart emojis following. "It was a good fight and you gained a lot of respect in my books. I like your attitude and dedication, you remind me of myself when I was starting, but you're going down, next time we meet. I'm up for a rematch, anytime, anywhere.", Jessica responds with a heart and a boxing glove emoji after the message.
A well known FCBA expert sums it up in a post fight review article: "This looks like a good start for the GBA stable, pushing their fighter up the ladder. Accidentally or not, what was supposed to be an undercard, a filler bout, was well marketed and executed. It still doesn't show us if Samaria can make it in FCBA. This wasn't a walk in the park for the heavy handed model. She's got a punch, no doubt about it, only a few ladies might get up after that final blow and Jessica is definitely not one of them. Speaking of Jessica, she gave us two, three fantastic rounds, but she has to pick her fights wisely, or we'll get the impression she's there for the job. We'll see what happens next, the rematch would be an obvious money maker, but I wonder if it would make any sense."
