Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Allthough Natalie Alyn Lind enjoys a comfortable Foxfire Boxing support there are some pundits and fans who claim she's not the most talented meber of the family (which is her younger sister Emily) and Selena Gomez somewhat understands the pain of being demoted into Beta status: "That's the story of my career too. Everyone knows my resume but I will never give up on the dream of becoming a proper Alpha - even if I have to cheer for Demi Lovato OR get that permission to fight Nina Dobrev myself. I had several candidates for this anniversary card and then I just thought Natalie Alyn Lind has something to prove while Ashley Benson is a washed-up tramp. Easy choice when it came down to these two!" (winks).

Selena Gomez wears a leopard print bikini set & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. Natalie Alyn Lind wears a navy blue bikini set with black trim & silver gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a braid. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Natalie connects with some quick body shots and keeps browsing the JMD route thereafter to drop the Latina singer into early trouble. The high-octane blast lifts the brunette's mounds and forces her to settle down in mid-range while she tries to work around the blonde's plan. She fails to neutralize the attack and gets picked off repeatedly as Natalie channels her former JMD championship pedigree to easily outwork the subdued rival in close range before blasting a left cross on the mouth that spins Gomez into spasms. Ugh! Selena gets trapped on the ropes and soaks up more body shots as Lind duly cleans out the romp and pounds unanswered leather into the singer's belly for remainder of the round.

Round 2:
More of the same in the second, Natalie wobbles Selena off her stance with the jug muggin' delivery and hauls in more ruthless shots into the exposed midsection. Gomez gets stuck on her heels too long and gets pounded around the area until Lind traps her on the ropes again. Woof! Eva Mendes loses her patience but the Foxfire youngster makes sure Selena's midriff gets pancaked like a drum and the brunette is unable to find a response. The shear work rate does the trick and caves Gomez into a yelping dummy when the bell finally halts Natalie's dominant performance.

Round 3:
Selena finally shows signs of life and connects with a noteworthy jabbing series to open the third. She bumps Natalie in the chest and matches the jug muggin' delivery before blasting the blonde across the mouth. Ugh! Natalie gets upset by that shot and triggers a hectic war of attrition in the center of the ring but eats the most powerful punch of the lot and bends to the side with a small cut across her nasal ridge! Selena adds more shots up the middle and rocks the blonde's head back before another left/right combo slumps Lind onto her heels right at the bell.

Round 4:
Natalie tries to regain the lost ground but Selena slices through her high guard early and often. She drops the younger actress on her heels and keeps working on the head-hunting route to punch heaps of aggression out of her in the process. Natalie finally thinks better off it when she feels a growing swollen patch under her left eye and it's hard to explain why she doesn't follows on the early jug muggin' success here. She avoids more trouble but allows Gomez to pull back on the cards with otherwise half-hearted performance outside of the opening period of the round.

Round 5:
Natalie gets lectured by Elizabeth Harnois during the break and tries to find the slugging prowess again but gets thumped a visibly animated Selena who rides another head-hunting wave to inflict more swollen reality on the blonde youngster. Natalie gets pounded back to the ropes where Gomez just piles on more juice as the Vegas audience raises the support volume. Selena gets vocal as she almost hands the blonde a proper wardrobe malfunction amid a jabbing frenzy and fends off a late clinching effort. She nukes Lind's exposed midsection and shoves her into the Foxfire corner at the bell to indicate she's running the show right now!

Round 6:
Selena moves to hammer the blonde's midriff again and Natalie is hurting too much to offer a proper resistance let alone a comeback. She gets hammered back to the ropes with Gomez only extending the gap by the numbers and she drills the solar plexus one time too often so Lind HAS TO TAKE A KNEE in order to catch a respite. Ugh! She doesn't look extremely confident even when she beats the count at eight and Selena duly keeps her pinned in the corner while blasting more gut shots until she sinks the ailing blonde into outright spasms. Natalie offers nothing back anymore and is saved by her corner as Elizabeth Harnois throws in the towel just past the two-minute mark! TKO6 Selena Gomez!!!

AFTER: It's hard to explain what happened with Natalie after such a great start and she exits the ring holding her ribs as she got properly manhandled down there in the end. Selena admits she got off to a very slow start but Natalie just didn't cash her chips when it mattered and got folded by a supreme boxer: "It was only a matter of time before I showed her who's the boss. She can dominate all the sparring sessions in the Foxfire gym but she's not as feisty as that lousy tramp Benson is! Then again, what is her sister doing? Emily, dear, I heard so much about you I just have to know if you're bold enough to face me?" (laughs).

Official Result: Selena Gomez def. Natalie Alyn Lind TKO6.
