Vanessa Hudgens
vs Christina Ricci
Oh boy! The NINE knockdowns in this fight set a record that still stands today. While Chrissy's reputation as one of the toughest outs in boxing was already well know, 'Nessa would establish her tough girl bonafides by becoming the only fighter before or since to be knocked down five times in a fight she won!

BEFORE: "I'm the conqueror of Mishy," 'Nessa manages to stress mere moments into prefight, "but that doesn't mean that's ALL I am! I'm mad that some people think I'm so programmed to beat Michelle that I can't adjust to other girls - that's total crap! Let me just say this loud and clear: I'm awesome. I'm the best fighter my size that there has EVER been; I'm the hottest girl in the FCBA; I'm the straw that stirs every drink and there is no way in HELL Chris Ricci beats me!"
Pixie-cut Chrissy rolling her eyes at Hudgens' bravado. "I can't WAIT to expose this tramp!" Ricci snarls at podium. "She's this little snip - a total non-entity - talking like she's Miss Box Office or something. Everyone knows I hit just as hard as Hayden and I'm rock-solid fitness wise. We've all seen the photos of 'Nessa walking around chubby in between fights...she's another Elisha Cuthbert waiting to happen! She doesn't like the rough stuff; can't handle hard hitting; melts in the face of determined competition...THAT'S ALL I AM! I'm hard-nosed: she's hot air - do the math! I'm gonna beat this kid all the way to quits-ville!"
'Nessa in hot pink bandeau; long black hair in loose tangles; small black gloves. Ricci in bright purple bandeau with long twist-tied ends dangling down between jugs; small black gloves; short black pixie-cut hair.
Aside: Ashley Tisdale talking out of school to BLONDE magazine in the weeks leading up, expressing reservations about the fight, saying: "I just don't think we want LOOKOUT prestige to be contingent upon 'Nessa's performances. She's too erratic." Ouch!
During R1: 'Nessa with hands wide, palms-out at the shoulders; bouncing at the knee, shifting to her right. Ricci dukes up/elbows in/chin tucked as she steps forward, bobs her head, pings a locator-jab as she looks to get close. 'Nessa fades half-step back...waits...times Ricci coming in...hooks Chrissy across the pate and scoots away. Same thing elsewhere: Ricci bobbing, encroaching, pinging out little one-twos that fall well short; Hudgens waits, judges her distance and bounces a stinging lead right square off Ricci's face, punching the pixie-cut head back. Nessa bouncing around to fresh positions, luring Ricci in, then pre-empting her: Hudgens pot-shotting like a little champ - slicing the quick lead right to chin, or skidding the lead hook across Chrissy's pate. 'Nessa having so much fun, that at one point she shouts: "Can't miss that five-head of yours!" Down the stretch, girls exchange hooks with Chrissy hopping into hers: short, jolting blast to chin PUTS 'NESSA ON HER RUMP! Ricci glaring down, batting little mitts together before stomping off - she's just stolen a clear Hudgens round 10-8!
R2: Hudgens fresh off her stool, grim-faced: she's doubling up the jab body/head; bouncing to her right with hands palm-out at her shoulders, waiting for Ricci to reach, then countering. CRISP lead rights kiss across Chrissy's chin; stiff left jabs punch her mouth; swinging palm-down hooks clout her jaw as Nessa routinely times Ricci to perfection, then pivots into the clear. Midway through, Ricci trying to bob her way forward blunders into a darting, down-slicing 'Nessa right: clean chin-chipper buzzes Ricci's knees, putting her on haunches-and-hands all stunned and blinking! 'Nessa nodding, grinning, doing the "title-belt" gesture at her waist en route to neutral corner. Swaying 8, Chris Ricci: she forms dukes-at-cheeks, digging in at apron as 'Nessa swaggers on in and DOWN GOES 'NESSA! Stubby lead right from Chris clangs to chin as Hudgens is looking to showcase-flurry...'Nessa hurt, on her right knee, then toppling onto buns-and-elbows. Hudgens sniveling, damaged...she's up at 8 blinking away tears as Ricci once again erases Hudgens points.
R3: Chopping flurry to breasts, Hudgens to Ricci: 'Nessa hacking away with palm-down lefts and rights hup-hup-hup, then trading hard hooks to chin and 'NESSA GETS HURT! Hudgens staring as her legs stiffen/torso slides a bit on her hips...she didn't like that hook one bit, so Chrissy jumps in, fits an extra hook short to chin and DOWN GOES 'NESSA! Hudgens sprawling on her back, blubbering and sputtering...she's a mess, flopping around on canvas as Ricci jogs all jugs a-jumpin' to neutral corner. Nessa gets up, but pitches face-first into ropes, still horribly rocked: she convinces ref to let it go with tears standing in dark brown eyes. ON COMES RICCI! Chris wading in mitts-at-chest, eyes blazing: 'Nessa forming earmuff, sitting in ropes. Ricci cuffs at Nessa's scalp with light left/right warm-up pattern, then OH! THAT HOOK digs deep behind 'Nessa's right elbow. Ricci's colour high, body tense as she sets-and-rips hard, hard punches into Vanessa Hudgens: wicked, batting hooks to flank; dip-and-dig right uppercuts to midsection; right uppercuts to guard, trying to punch Hudgens up out of her crouch. To reset, Ricci will scuff her jab across the top of Hudgens' scalp, then get her hips into the hook-to-liver: 'Nessa suffering in the pocket, taking the beating of a lifetime as Ricci bangs out brawny points.
R4: Ricci hops in hooking, comes up short as Hudgens fades out of reach: 'Nessa back with a quick lead right from the shoulder/stiff left cross kissing off Chrissy's mouth and RICCI GOES DOWN! Chris in blinking astonishment on all fours - Hudgens screaming: "STAY DOWN!" as ref's moving in hot. Chrissy beats the count swaying, digging in dukes-at-cheeks at apron: Hudgens wades in all hot-cheeked and fiery-eyed...CLAMBAKE! Hudgens rolling hup-hup left and right uppercuts to Ricci's body/breasts to straighten her up, then it's a vicious left/right pasting of Chrissy's face as Ricci starts to drift. Chris staring, head up, arms pushing out weak leather while her face gets SHOCKED by 'Nessa's trim punching in return. CHRISSY'S KNEES GIVE WAY...she sags into ropes with how-could-you eyes, eats another right hand to mouth, trades hooks-to-chin with 'Nessa and HUDGENS GOES DOWN! Hudgens rolling onto her back, face pinched in pain...Chrissy stumbling along ropes in a fog...Ricci swaying in neutral corner as 'Nessa fights her way off the deck. Hudgens blubbering, blinking in confusion; Ricci out on her feet, but hunching her shoulders/picking her hands up when ref gives her the green light. Ricci in earmuff closes to mouth-on-shoulder range - Hudgens leaning into her foe with left shoulder and pumping repeat right hands to tummy. Ricci gurgling, buttocks ringing unhappily in purple trunks...she buckles forward hurt, but hooks at 'Nessa's tits in close. 'Nessa drifting back spellbound into ropes, then chopping back right hands to face...she tumbles out of orbit spilling to her right along ropes as Ricci hops-with, delivering whirling hooks to face! 'Nessa groggily taking head-punches as she stumbles to corner...she's hurt, sitting on turnbuckle, crossing back of right hand to left temple/tucking left hand up into right armpit as Ricci squares away! Christina on auto, lifting her mitts hup-hup-hup into the guarded torso of her foe, blindly hitting forearms/tummy as Hudgens droops forward. Crowd chanting "CHRIS-SY! CHRIS-SY!" Hudgens doubling over; Ricci straightening up, twisting torso-right to crank hooks behind Hudgen's right elbow and DOWN GOES 'NESSA! Hudgens jackknifing in at Ricci's feet, bawling with body-pain, hugging her guts as she's face down from her haunches. BELL: 'Nessa corner able to swarm in and claim their charge before ref can stop it...Ricci in command through 4 blistering heats!
R5: 'Nessa pouting, but punching - jabbing Ricci to slow the pursuit; sliding back in a bouncing stance; fitting Ricci for pre-emptive straight right hands off the shoulder. Christina relentless, boring in on Hudgens, but not cutting off the ring: clever Disney vixen able to sidestep little pixie-cut bull, creating turning battle off the ropes. 'Nessa keeping her distance, bouncing her fists off Chrissy's head and shoulders...Ricci bobbing, encroaching, applying pressure with her legs. Down the stretch, 'Nessa stepping backwards shows her class and exquisite timing, walking Ricci onto a glorious right uppercut to chin that SENDS CHRIS TO HER FACE! Awkward sprawl as Ricci's back (right) knee gives way, pitching her chest-first to canvas: Hudgens exhausted, mouthbreathing, walks to neutral corner hands-on-hips as Ricci gathers herself up.
R6: Hudgens with her head up, punching crisp from her shoulders - straight lefts and rights criss-crossing against Chrissy's face, beating her shiny. Ricci bobbing on the spot, showing crossed arm or earmuff as she's moving her head: she's timing Hudgens now, hopping into short little hooks to chin that drain the hope from 'Nessa's legs. Every once in a while, hopping hooks will destabilize Vanessa...her knees will bennnnd, then straighten as she staggers away forlorn, tears brimming every time she can't bear-up under Chrissy's thunder. Midway through, Ricci hooking wide for ribcage...Hudgens jabbing-jug: both girls turn into short right hands to chin and DOWN GOES CHRISTINA! Ricci's back (right) knee gives way again, turning her to her right, then pitching her to her chest...she's crying quietly with right cheek down, eyes closed, body still and it's OVER! Chris Ricci just can't get off her tummy: KO6 in rollercoaster fashion, Vanessa Hudgens.
After: Hudgens collapsing onto her haunches in neutral corner, bawling with relief and exultation...she wins a last-woman-standing flyweight classic over a hard-charging and determined little foe tonight. Reactions vary: Hayden clapping enthusiastically, enjoying the effort all 'round; Michelle Williams sitting with arms crossed, expressing mixed emotions on her award-winning face; Tisdale tweeting about Vanessa lucking out; Carter glacial in aspect, clinical in her attention to details. "I proved that I'm an awesome, all around little brawler tonight!" Nessa gushes in postfight, beautiful face punched puffy - especially the hook-eating right side of her head. "Chrissy brought all she had, and she's got plenty: she definitely hits as hard, if not HARDER than Hayden, and she's tougher too. No way Hayden would have gotten up from those knockdowns, but you know what? I've got the heart of a lion - the heart of TWO lions - and I just wouldn't stay down! I'm the best, that's it, that's all there is. I'm the best there's ever been!"
