Before: Now it's time for the FCBA welterweight title bout, for the second time in their careers Brooklyn Decker and Amanda Righetti fight, with this also being the second time Decker has challenged Righetti for the welterweight title, the first time these two met was a hard hitting war of attrition, Amanda finally ended the resistance of her challenger that night in the tenth round, will history repeat or will it be revenge for Brooklyn?
Leading into this fight Brooklyn earned this shot by defeating Alice Sabatini in a number one contenders bout on the Gold Rush event, while Amanda has been dominating the division with sixteen straight wins, Amanda clearly trying to beat the record of twenty four consecutive wins, which was set two years ago by guess who? Yes Amanda is trying to beat her own record along with most consecutive title defences set at nine by Taylor Swift.
A press conference was held in the venue where the fight is taking place twenty four hours later, first on the stage comes Brooklyn with a figure hugging black dress and heels, Amanda not to be outdone with her navy blue dress, heels and a special piece of jewellery wrapped around her waist as the title belt is proudly worn, both fighters met face to face, no hint of fear on either fighters face as they are both proud women, Brooklyn edging closer so they go nose to nose, Amanda moving to make it a touch of foreheads as it's like a game of chicken, daring the other to escalate things.
Maybe luckily for fight fans not wanting to see them injury the other before the big bout they are given a few words by the FCBA committee member on the stage, both take a step back with an intense stare, journalists looking on in awe of these two gorgeous strong women, both fighters deciding to save it for the ring as they separate to stools placed either side of the stage as a podium is brought on to stand in the center.
After a few moments maybe to let them cool off, Brooklyn is given the center stage as she heads to the podium to speak, taking a breath as she pushes a loose strand of blonde hair behind her ear, Brooklyn tells the assembled crowd:
“This has been a long journey to get back here, three years ago I had Amanda beaten, Big Red was rocked and the title was in my grasp till one punch changed the fight around,“ Brooklyn shakes her head, looking as if she is relieving the moment the fight turned against her and the referee had to step in to save her from a nasty knockout.
“A year later I would achieve my dream, prove my many doubters wrong and become a two weight world champ, I did what not many can do in this era, I showed I could rule this division, now I prove it once again because while I respect you Amanda, I don't see you as this bogeyman figure every welterweight should fear, I saw the fear in your eyes as I ripped away at your body and hurt you, I saw the fear when I had you on the ropes, you are far from invincible and I prove once again I can rule this division by fixing my mistake from three years ago“, an impassioned speech from Brooklyn, marching back to her stool as Amanda applauds her.
Now it's time for the champion as she walks up to the podium, taking the title off to place it in front of herself, Amanda says, "I respect you too Brooklyn but something you said after I beat Tahnee (Atkinson) last month, that you would do what Tahnee couldn't, you would finish the job where she couldn't, of course I studied our fight and last I checked you couldn't get the job finished, sure you are a hard puncher, once that finish line came along though you fell over and as I have done so many times to so many challengers, I simply sprinted past you to the finish,“ that makes Brooklyn clench her fists, not needing another reminder of that night.
Amanda taps the title with her right hand, telling everyone, “See, this means everything to me, the reason I am where I am for heading towards fifteen years is because I work harder then everyone else, I tough out all the hardships and I finish the job when it presents itself, while Brooklyn says I am not a bogeyman, I know I am in your head, come the time we knuckle up I'll have already got into your head like Mike Tyson vs Frank Bruno“, grabbing her belt, Amanda raises it up for the cameras before she heads off the stage, not paying her opponent attention as Brooklyn stares daggers at her.
Fight night, first through the curtain onto the stage comes Brooklyn with her coach Claudia Schiffer standing to her right side, Brooklyn raising her arms in the air as she enjoys a loud cheer from the crowd, she heads to the ring wearing a black sports bra with gold trim, matching trunks and shoes, gold gloves with black thumbs, hair in a ponytail, she marches down the aisle, throwing a few punches as she looks focused, stepping into the ring with a nod to her fans chanting her name, bouncing on her toes as Claudia gives her plenty of encouragement.
Here comes the champion!
Amanda pushes aside the curtain to step onto the stage with the title firmly around her toned waist, Nadia Bjorlin is on her left side, Amanda taps her gloves together with a little grin, then she takes a breath and the veil of an ice cold look shows itself on her beautiful face, the actress heads down the ring taking her time, letting the challenger stew in the ring as she is on her time, Amanda is wearing a red sports bra, red trunks with her surname in white letters on the waistband, red shoes and gloves, while her hair is braided, she climbs into the ring with a look out to the crowd with her back to Brooklyn, Nadia taking the belt off her as Amanda taps her chest with her right glove, nodding to her cheering fans that she has this.
The referee gets the title belt and brings the fighters together, for the moment the title belt isn't the focus as challenger and champion touch foreheads so they can lock eyes, it's another intense stare down as a few words are exchanged, the duelling chants though stop anyone apart from maybe the fighters hear what was said, once the final instructions are read out, there's a thud from the fist bump, then both jog back to their corners, fists up as they look ready, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of FCBA welterweight title fight action...
Fight: R1: At the sound of "Ding, ding, ding!, both fighters step out their corners with their eyes locked behind their gloves, trading jabs in circles as they try to get into range. Decker‘s stance‘s loose, tall, a little lanky – right hand‘s curled atop her chest, left hand at the hip, lifting it into sling-jabs at Righetti‘s guard, then side-stepping her via fast, leggy leftward pivots. Righetti‘s stance‘s small, tight, compact – she‘s trying to weave inside blonde‘s majestic jab, step her short left/right hook into tender blonde breadbasket with plenty of champ‘s big-girl authority! Redhead‘s intense/aggressive in early pivots, fitting short, spanking hooks off Decker‘s waistline, testing Brooklyn‘s skinny-yet-strong legs. ‘Manda‘s looking to push the tempo early, lashing a clean one-two combo through Decker‘s mitts, as she‘s weaved inside the arc of blonde‘s rangy jab-work – short, RUGGED shots fitted to Brooklyn‘s jawline make Righetti‘s power felt early!
Second minute – Brooklyn‘s starting to adjust against Righetti‘s beef/power, using her tall height, her lanky fighter‘s style to good, leggy effect.
Decker‘s strong, wide-legged, taking lopes, gaits around Righetti‘s tight, compact frame – lots of wide, rangy jabs/crosses fly, keeping Amanda busy, cautious, as jabs flop to her tummy/waist, sullen right hands *spank* off her jugs, stop her when she‘s still on approach. Righetti‘s still being pushy n‘ sturdy, adamant to keep her pressure on leggy blonde at all costs – blonde stunner dips under the champ‘s hard-straight, drops two short, *beefy* right hands to Righetti‘s abs, forcing her into baby-steps, then wrapping up, pushing her back! Decker‘s all relaxed n‘ smiling, as Righetti‘s getting a taste of blonde‘s toughness – girls pivot loosely from there, trading stiff one-twos.
Final minute – girls negotiate for range/position, nearing in circles. Righetti hops close in bobs n‘ weaves, doubling up the hook to Decker‘s trunkline/rib – GETS STROKED THE LONG LEFT HOOK! Brooklyn smiles, timing Righetti‘s shot, catching her a clout – Amanda stumbles away with her eyes wide! Decker leans away from an angry Righetti left-cross, chipping a sweet counter right under redhead‘s chin – Big Red‘s face‘s picked up stiff off her gloves! Righetti stumbles to ropes, where Brooklyn sets up in sturdy, muscular fashion – she‘s all over Righetti‘s hunched frame, riding her into the ropes via the left arm, as right hand belts n‘ chops away at the champ‘s biceps/shoulder!
Bell – girls steely-eyed on way to corner, all business. Brooklyn‘s corner talkin‘ tactics early: "Key‘s taking away Righetti‘s strengths – legs, core, biceps, you name it. Gotta be the bully, Brooklyn – that way you‘ll still be fresh once her legs start to fade, girl!"
R2: Fighters come back out, slinging more punches in volume, hoping to outwork their opponent, throwing rhythmic flurries of shots – Righetti‘s stepping in with a double jab, squaring it up into her foe‘s face, targeting her cheeks/temple. Decker‘s steadily driven back, as Amanda advances, taking over mid-ring, showing her toughness. Righetti‘s jabbing stiffly from her shoulder, right hand at mouth, her chin tucked, working her girl over – quick, heavy jabs to Brooklyn‘s mouth/guard, as short, stubby right hands slot to blonde‘s ribcage, punish her. Blonde‘s leggy, organized when in retreat – she‘s taking a series of loping steps out, working heavy side-arm shots against redhead‘s either flank, easing pressure. Righetti‘s a-marchin‘, rollin‘ forward smoothly – she‘s driving Decker back in circles, dictating the action, but blonde‘s counter volume‘s intense, lashing out at redhead‘s flanks/tummy. ‘Manda absorbing plenty of shots to her pate/chest/ears – she‘s bodying Brooklyn back to walk down blonde in high-risk attacks!
Second minute – Amanda‘s starting to push back Brooklyn more, landing a short, sweet uppercut that sends the challenger onto her heels and right into baby-steps, retreating to a neutral corner. Righetti setting up her first trademark ropeside siege on slick, leggy blonde in big-girl fashion – THICK right hands to paunch, short CLOBBERS to biceps/shoulder, EXPLOSIVE inside-uppercuts at Decker‘s jawline from up close! Decker‘s rickety, treated hard n‘ rough by bigger champ – blonde‘s trying to tie up, push off, smothering Righetti‘s relentless, grinding attacks for ref‘s breaks!
Final minute – blonde‘s mighty legs turn the action wide, rangy.
Brooklyn‘s roaming, loping, changing the tempo at will – lanky, lashing body shots chip away at Righetti‘s waistline, as short, brawny, compact shots drift to redhead‘s guard/skull once Decker‘s actually staying put, trading-with on the spot. Righetti‘s the pressure fighter, but Brooklyn‘s finding her spots – she‘s dropping stings to ‘Manda‘s cheeks, clubbing a left cross to dodge the champ‘s right. Girls still sluggin‘ it out mightily at the bell to the crowd‘s loud, roaring approval, as girls stay dippin‘, lashin‘ out, trying to steer the other girl around, impose will on foe – both girls raise arms, smile wryly to lay claim on round.
R3: Girls lay down the mid-ring jabs – Brooklyn‘s long, lashing poke against Righetti‘s short, hacking, dynamic work. Amanda‘s being faster, more aggressive, doubling up on left hands to weave, step n‘ lunge into range – Righetti sets up sturdy positions atop blonde‘s legendary jugs, just being stubborn, busy as she‘s working Decker over in Big Red-style. Brooklyn‘s backing up, clearly overwhelmed, as ‘Manda‘s constantly looking to jostle/contact, slugging her to the tits n‘ chin. Decker‘s wide, lashing wallop fires off past Righetti‘s shoulders, as sturdy, dynamic redhead‘s dipping under blonde‘s jab reach, pushing her ropeward more n‘ more! Decker tries to sort it out at the ropes, wraps an arm around Righetti‘s head, pullin‘, pushin‘, hopin‘ to bog her foe down in wild, chaotic embraces or ref‘s breaks – only ends up wearing down herself under Righetti‘s sturdier pressure!
Mid-round, girls start to trade jabs into each other‘s face, boxing around the center in long, striding steps n‘ circles – Righetti roaaaaaars a wide, choppin‘ straight-left upside Brooklyn‘s hairline, *lighting* up as blonde‘s head SNAPS back in jolt on crackling impact!
Left body cross across Brooklyn‘s jugline! Right body cross across her shoulder/bicep!
Blonde‘s hurtled, rocked, baby-stepping into torso sways – Righetti‘s just too stubborn n‘ sturdy! There‘s an aura of confidence around Righetti, as redhead‘s champ‘s dictating tempo/aggression on her own terms – she‘s a-sluggin‘, clubbin‘, pummelin‘ her girl! Decker‘s long, mighty legs busy to lope out into free range – she‘s struggling to find shots off her back foot, as sturdy Righetti pressure mounts up! Righetti‘s got Brooklyn trapped in a game of cat n‘ mouse – Decker‘s finding crisp one-two counters off the ropes once she‘s able to plant her feet n‘ shoot ‘em, but her butt‘s constantly hitting the ropes, as Righetti‘s heat‘s grinding on in relentless fashion!
Down the stretch – blonde‘s tall, mighty jabs still can‘t hold Righetti off proper, as ‘Manda‘s weaving through, engaging on the inside on her own, physical terms at all times. Brooklyn‘s still strong, if a little dim-eyed, frustrated – she‘s looping her arm around Righetti‘s head, trying to twist her into stalemates. Righetti‘s just too strong n‘ pushy to give up her top position – right hand rides up blonde‘s torso, thudding her ribs/jugs, as blunt, heavy shots clobber blonde‘s proud chassis!
Bell – Righetti jogging to corner wide-eyed, all pumped up in excitement, seeing first signs of blonde wilt! Brooklyn meanwhile shows her first signs of frustration, tapping her gloves to her cheeks, as Claudia tells her to keep her head up, looking to keep her fighter focused. "We knew Righetti would punish you tonight – just gotta hang in with her there and chop her ass once she‘s a little tired!"
R4: Brooklyn‘s upping her tempo at last, getting more committed, more aggressive out of the gate – she‘s outslugging Righetti in early trade! Decker‘s planted tall/strong, her right leg back, pushing out strong jabs off her left leg – THUNDERS a crisp one-two through Amanda‘s guard, sizzling redhead‘s chin! Left cross answers, Righetti, doesn‘t land flush – Brooklyn dips, rolls, steps her own left cross across Righetti‘s chops, making ‘Manda‘s leg skid off the canvas in shock, as Big Red‘s feet go out of kilter. A smokescreen of jabs/straights to her foe‘s mouth/guard/lips, Brooklyn, as she‘s stepping into wide, long, aggressive forward strides – sets up rippin‘, slingin‘ akimbo shots across the champ‘s flanks, as Righetti hunches up tightly, clasping her elbows inside for protection, wincing in hurt, retreating!
Around the minute mark – there‘s more drive n‘ spunk from Decker!
Blonde‘s working from mid-ring, using her height/reach to good effect again, not shying away from heavy, POUNDING body shots against her sturdy foe‘s frame – girls get into jostling contact, grind foreheads, shovin‘, pushin‘ forward, as they whack away at each other‘s toned torsos, emitting grunts, groans. Brooklyn‘s definitely holding her own, trying to push off Righetti in big-girl fashion, steer her under control with lil‘ hip wedges and so on – Righetti‘s thrusting out her shoulder/jug against Brooklyn‘s lean, slender frame just to make a point, show her who‘s boss, as anger/provocations flare up in heat!
Final minute – Decker‘s out throwing licks, drumming her rangy straight-arm bats/whacks across Righetti‘s pink-ish tummy/flank meat, frustrating redhead, wicking away at her legendary core/leg strength! Righetti‘s in the crouch, staying explosive herself – short, jamming jabs/right hands directed to Brooklyn‘s ribs/jugs, looking to switch uppercuts at blonde jaw from up close!
Down the stretch – girls trade the long jabs, as blonde‘s taller reach‘s finally reigning supreme! A missed straight from Righetti earns her a counter left on her lips, setting up the right hook to follow-up - ‘Manda‘s bottom lip‘s split, retreating her to the ropes with grimaces/frowns. Brooklyn‘s in pursuit, outworking the champ in the home stretch, peppering her skull/guard with that smokescreen of jabs/crosses, looking in vain for an uppercut opportunity, as Righetti‘s defense holds!
Bell- girls lock eyes from across their opposite stools, two alphas battling for supremacy, as the tension between them could be cut with a knife. "Too much spunk from blonde girl – time to get into destroy mode, ‘Manda!“
R5: Righetti‘s raising the aggression again, winning over jab game in mid-ring tussle – she‘s staying tall n‘ strong, jabbing-with, dropping a slick counter-right past Brooklyn‘s jabs, rushing it to blonde‘s tits/jawline, using her stout, stocky power. As girls drill the jabs with plenty more venom, Decker‘s forcing Amanda back some steps once her double jab‘s getting through to redhead‘s cut lip, trying to walk Righetti into the ropes – short, choppin‘ body shots from Righetti‘s tight, dipped stance break those situations quickly, as redhead‘s leggy footwork‘s still fresh/elegant, her power brutalizing blonde‘s tender frame. Decker repeatedly ROCKED off her stance/balance, as ‘Manda‘s chops rush in, trying to hold off the redhead via fast, sticky jabs up top – Righetti‘s alert, dipping under blonde‘s rangy lefts, dropping hammer-style lefts/rights in Brooklyn‘s gut/jugs instead. Brooklyn‘s a leggy, yet blinking, alarmed beauty – she‘s trying to find her feet, doing lil‘ stumbles, roaming away, trying to walk around Righetti‘s heavy, rhythmic jab.
Mid-round action – Decker‘s wandering hectically alongside the ropes, as blonde‘s leggy footwork‘s saving her from sustained Righetti sieges!
Brooklyn‘s on the back-foot, trying to switch into a counter – blonde‘s tall right-hand uppercut chips off the ropes, tossing past Amanda‘s right shoulder, as redhead leans in, *slamming* her short-right to Decker‘s mouth first! Blonde‘s head *jolts* on impact, as pretty eyes go into dizzy blinking, her legs a-stumbling – Righetti dips n‘ stoops, going to Brooklyn‘s breadbasket with gut-busting power, cuffing her! Brooklyn‘s trying to fall into a clinch, tie up around Righetti‘s hard shoulders – STEPS into ‘Manda‘s short, carved lil‘ uppercut instead! Blonde‘s torso sloshes against the ropes – she‘s rag-doll!
Hard left to chest! Tap-jab at Brooklyn‘s upper temple! Right hand to ear!
Brooklyn‘s eyelashes go into heavy flutter, as wondrous legs buzz under Righetti‘s steady power drill, leaning left n‘ right – SUDDENLY PITCHES OFF THE ROPES IN A SLEEPY TILT! Blonde‘s legs wilt under Amanda‘s pressure, as her knees sag, finally toppling over to the canvas hard – BLONDE GIRL IS DOWN!
Righetti‘s all business, not celebrating, jogging to a neutral corner, smiling in pleased satisfaction at Brooklyn‘s plight, the crowd chanting “Big Red! Big Red!“ in anticipation of Righetti‘s next triumph over her welter preys! Poor Decker‘s down there a-groanin‘, a-grimacin‘, propped up on all fours, taking deep heaves, trying to find her energy, composure back – she‘s shaking her head in gritty, teeth-clenched denial at ref‘s stern, relentless count, 1...2...3. Brooklyn pushes up to her knees, then her feet at 4...5...6, nodding wildly to ref, “I‘m here, I‘m here“. Blonde raises an arm at 7...8, stabilizing her legs, beats the count – “Hell, I want more, ref!“ Righetti returns to her fight stance, tapping her gloves, as eyes light up in fight lust – girls get back into it!
Final minute – all Righetti.
Brooklyn‘s still leggy, defending herself pretty well – but her butt‘s always just shy off the ropes, only sending back a wallop here n‘ there, dippin‘, slippin‘, tiiiiiilllltin‘ as Righetti‘s looking to siege n‘ destruct her like a surgeon! Amanda‘s broad white back glistens with sweat, as she‘s working her over – hard, chopping shots to Decker‘s flanks/jugs, as Brooklyn‘s grimacing, cramping! Decker‘s greedy to tie up, clinch around Righetti‘s frame, slowly finding legs back, stabilizing despite heavy pressure from champ!
Inside corners during break – Brooklyn‘s startled, breathing hard, cursing under her breath, as Righetti gets a nod from Nadia, “Time to take blondie behind the woodshed – girl‘s ready to go to freakin‘ sleep, ‘Manda!“
R6: Girls back out fierce n‘ intense early – nearly clashing heads, scrubbing shoulders in scruffy tussle, as Righetti‘s looking to press her last round‘s advantage while Brooklyn‘s trying to show she won‘t go out easily. Righetti‘s being faster, as she‘s bobbin‘ on the approach, weavin‘ her way inside Decker‘s range with short, aggressive stubby-jabs to the tits/shoulders – she targets blonde‘s waist/flank, keeping a steady bob n‘ weave stance to slip Decker‘s rangy receipts. Brooklyn‘s being leggy/mobile, but she‘s under constant shufflin‘ pressure by Righetti‘s left hand pump – blonde‘s trying to catch Righetti a slice of short lefts, rights to ease the work, missing most of shots, *eating* short, explosive hooks back!
Around a minute inside, Brooklyn‘s forced to jog/negotiate her way out, growing defensively, as 'Manda‘s stepping it up big-time – stiff, PUMPING lefts/straights bloody Decker‘s nose! Blonde groans, jogs out wide n‘ rangy, breathing heavily – Righetti parries Decker‘s rangy left, snapping a left cross to blonde‘s mouth! Short right hook on the chin, Righetti – pounding shot turns Brooklyn‘s head a swat to the side, as sweat n‘ blood toss off, crowd a-screamin‘! Decker shuddering under pressure, keeping her hands up, as guard gets ROCKED, legs blasted into wild totter – Righetti‘s knockin‘ it through to her face!
Final minute – Righetti sets up shop atop Brooklyn‘s chest!
Amanda positioning on top of blonde‘s torso, pushin‘ at her foe‘s elbows, cuffin‘, hookin‘ at the ribs/waist/tits, looking to switch off Decker‘s legs with devastating lil‘ chin-uppercuts from close scratch – Brooklyn being tight, *miserable* behind her guard, sponging body shots in tuff, dim-eyed depression!
Down the stretch – blonde‘s out grabbing a hold of the champ, trying to push/press back, looking for kidney hooks across redhead‘s flanks. Just a little shy off the bell, Righetti cramps up Decker‘s legs with a nasty solar plexus left, stiffening her into exquisite position – RIGHT HAND BATTERS TO EAR! Blonde stumbles off, as head‘s swatted aside, torso tilting, legs all wobble – bell! Righetti *screams* out savagely at the bell, as blonde just won‘t quit, staggers back to corner.
Break – Decker‘s a rattled, sweaty beauty, taking sighs/grimaces of hurt, as Righetti‘s got her ribs/flanks all tenderized. “Gotta survive, Brooks,“ Claudia says sheepishly. “Your dream‘s still alive as long as you‘re still up on your feet, girl!“
R7: Girls clash early, eyes all steely with fighter‘s passion – the leather‘s cracking frequently, as girls pop n‘ sock ‘em! Girls sport the same tight, elbows-in stances, as they step-in, close, weaving side-to-side, trading punches hard n‘ heavy – girls dip low to get a sweet angle, shovel stern, *brutal* right hands behind each other‘s elbow/flank. Brooklyn‘s freakishly strong/resilient herself, but she‘s not exactly built for this sort of physical slug-out against Big Bad Red – blonde‘s eyes go all dim/blank, her face a grimace of hurt, but she‘s SO tuff, holding her own here, repeatedly cramping up Righetti‘s legs/core herself with SAVAGE, whoppin‘ counter body-punches to ‘Manda‘s flank/lats! Righetti‘s more effective, slowly grinding blonde back to ropes all minute over, as sturdy shoulders roll n‘ punish – she‘s laser-focused, as auburn-haired warrior‘s really looking to break Brooklyn‘s will for good!
At mid-round action, girls start to fall in heavy, tired, sweaty, the girls‘ strong/tall frames resting against each other‘s torso, buttocks a-strainin‘, shoulders/hips pressin‘ forward, as teeth grit, eyes flash – this brutal pound-out war‘s taking its toll!
A scene at the ropes, final minute – Brooklyn erupts!
Righetti bearin‘ down, just pushin‘ off big-girl – Decker leans-with, bringing a shove to Amanda‘s face to create space. Dip, and left cross, Righetti – blocked! Counter – a straight left to Righetti‘s cut upper lip! Short right hook to the chin *swivels* Righetti‘s head, as her legs go wobbly-butt, eyes widen in shock! Decker marches out of her corner, pounding a tall, heavy one-two, as ‘Manda‘s back-pedalling, hands in peek-a-boo – and the overhand left sneaks up to Righetti‘s cheek, chop! Righetti rushes forward in alarm, as her legs falter, tying up under Brooklyn‘s shoulders, pushin‘ her back – Decker wedges her hip in between Amanda‘s legs, resists, holds for ref‘s break! Girls grit gumshields, heads grind together, as welter beauties body up, go into phonebooth slug-out – girls hiss at each other, scrubbing each other‘s abs/flanks, as lithe bodies take the brunt of attacks, trying to shut down power supply!
Bell – ref‘s forced in hot, pushing girls apart after hardest, most grueling round so far, ruled a draw. Claudia‘s optimistic – “You‘ve punched her to a standstill, Brooklyn – you‘re startin‘ to wear her out!“
R8: Righetti‘s tired!
Redhead‘s legs no longer as fresh n‘ athletic, as seven rounds of fierce blonde resistance *finally* make themselves felt – and Brooklyn packs out her jab in time! Decker‘s using a tall gun-platform stance, as she‘s rotating in rhythm, POPPING a jab to Righetti‘s face, her footwork still so smart n‘ sleek despite Righetti‘s grinder – Big Red‘s getting her face spanked! ‘Manda trying to dip n‘ roll after several late head-bobs, wanting to intrude blonde‘s range, get on top – Decker‘s ready, rifling a short-jab/long-right combo on the incoming redhead, busting through to Righetti‘s tits/chin with venom! Amanda groans, negotiates, finally back-pedals out of range – Decker‘s eyes light up at redhead‘s stumbles! Blonde‘s fast in pursuit, slipping past the redhead‘s slow, heavy jab – absorbs two hooks to the bod on her way in, but SNUGGLES the mean left cross to Righetti‘s ear, boom!
Amanda‘s wobbly-butt!
Redhead falls into clinch, trying to bull-rush blonde to ropes on raw, physical terms – Decker slips, gets into top position instead, twisting n‘ turning Righetti‘s butt into rope for ref‘s break, her eyes wild, fiery, as ‘Manda grimaces, shuts her eyes in hurt, buttocks a-shiver under Decker‘s weight.
At mid-round, the action‘s still messy – but Brooklyn‘s quick, EXPLOSIVE off ref‘s breaks!
A double jab snaps off Decker‘s left shoulder, pop!, pop!, instantly driving Righetti back, as head catches sock! Amanda‘s eyes flash up in anger – left cross, Righetti! Blonde tiltin‘, bobbin‘ her upper torso away in time, narrowly slippin‘ Righetti‘s blistering chin-check, her eyes wide in alarm. Left hook, Brooklyn! Rockin‘ shot rolls to redhead‘s left eye, earning a howl n‘ grimace – champ‘s eye swells ugly immediately!
Final minute – Brooklyn‘s starting to impose her will!
Righetti‘s eyes grim/frustrated, biting at Decker‘s feints, as left-eye swell‘s clearly bothering her, leggy pivots slowing into big, steppin‘ trudges – she‘s sullen, outside, getting shelled head n‘ shoulders by Brooklyn‘s heavy, poppin‘ jab! RIGHETTI ERUPTS! Girls trade in mid-range: Righetti lifts a HEAVY, battering uppercut off her hip, probably her biggest punch of the night so far – Brooklyn slips back a smidge, turning solid knockout punch into brushy lil‘ graze, survives with a tilt! Right counter cross upside Amanda‘s temple – redhead backs off! Righetti a-ridin‘ the ropes until the bell, arms crossed at the face to protect her left eye, giving up her tummy – Decker‘s shelling her, tapping to biceps/arms/gut, hoping redhead‘s guard will slip open for chin-check!
Bell – Righetti‘s corner in shock at Brooklyn‘s fresh legs/jab game, working magic on the champ. Redhead‘s chest‘s a-risin‘ heroically, her broad back all glistening with sweat, taking deep heaves, eyes going into a steely gaze. “Brooklyn‘s freshness‘s just a smokescreen, ‘Manda,“ Nadia determines. “Girl‘s more tired than you and one solid right hand will kiss her good night!“
R9: Brooklyn enjoying a sudden advantage in footwork/fresh legs – gets to stalkin‘ Righetti!
Redhead champ sullen, dizzy-eyed, taking longer, wider pivots out of range, trying to establish her heavy, repulsing jab on terrorizing blonde again – Decker‘s dictating tempo/rhythm, though, steering Amanda into ever-tighter pivots/circles, making canvas small n‘ narrow. Brooklyn‘s sleek, slingin‘ jab‘s more than just a nuisance for Righetti – the jab‘s fast, long reach imposes blonde‘s will on stutter-stepping redhead, constantly flappin‘, flickerin‘ at Righetti‘s eye/temple, frustrating the champ, wicking away at her spirits/energy. Brooklyn surprisingly strong n‘ beefy inside the grasp once Righetti‘s sponged up enough shots to actually bob n‘ step into range – she‘s the one palmin‘ up, ridin‘ a fist up Righetti‘s shoulder, steerin‘ her off, bumpin‘, shovin‘ her around! Righetti startled, frowning at blonde womanhandling her – she‘s starting to slow, staying more n‘ more in crossed-arm, bobbing stances on the spot, right hand at left jawline/left hand at right elbow, spongin‘ it up, torso stiff, eyes vacant.
A minute in, Decker‘s just being SAVAGE about Righetti‘s head n‘ shoulders – she‘s employing a broad, wide-legged stance, BASHING at both of redhead‘s ears, as ‘Manda‘s grimly stoopin‘ forward, trying to reach around blonde‘s hips for break. Brooklyn targeting Righetti‘s left side with cruel precision, going about brutally on her swollen eye with a zig-zag of jabs/crosses. Redhead not anywhere near helpless – Righetti‘s strong legs still a thick-thighed bastion, rollin‘, slippin‘ the blonde‘s heavy right hand, thumping back jabs/straights to the blonde‘s waist! Amanda‘s eyes wide, brightening a little, as Decker‘s groaning, taking a back-pedal off a sneaky-hard body shot – left cross attacks, Righetti!
Thumping jolt-shot rolled off Amanda‘s left hip – but Decker slips it, juuuuuussst!
Counter right hook to the jaw!
Double jab! Right cross!
Righetti stumbles into Brooklyn‘s arms, those pretty eyes now a vacant stare, legs a-totter, jawline slack n‘ loose! Decker so hungry, lustful – she‘s twisting Righetti around, waiting patiently for ref‘s break, staying strong n‘ alert, feeling Big Red soften under her grasp!
Ref‘s break – Decker immediately STABS a long, straight left hand to Righetti‘s chin/mouth, unhinging Amanda‘s powerful legs at last! Righetti totters forward, arms crossed, trying to reach sheepishly around Brooklyn‘s hips again – Decker slides a half-step back, loads up on righty haymaker!
Ensuing right hand takes ALL of Righetti‘s jawline!
Righetti‘s head swatted aside in a toss, as eyes roll back, legs lock up stiff – THE CHAMP TAKES A CAPSIZE!
Righetti tippin‘, keelin‘ over her legs, falters – she finally collapses hard and fast onto her tummy, arms by her side, head pooled against the canvas, as Brooklyn screams out “yes!, yes!“, quickly herded to a neutral corner by the ref. Amanda lightly groans at the start of the ref‘s count, 1...2...3, as muscular shoulders stir, eyelashes flutter open n‘ shut, open n‘ shut, 4...5...6! Righetti‘s not really responsive, only stirring ever more weakly, her broad white back stiff, motionless, as the count‘s passing her – she‘s all sleepy n‘ out! Brooklyn‘s SAVAGE knockout rocks the boxing world, as formerly dominant champ‘s pounded to freakin‘ sleep by Decker‘s once-in-a-lifetime jackhammer!
Winner and NEW FCBA welterweight champion – KO9 Brooklyn Decker
After: For the second time in her career, Brooklyn Decker is ON TOP of the welterweight mountain, she covers her mouth with her gloves, tears filling her eyes as she looks in almost disbelief that she was able to knockout Amanda, especially in such a brutal way, as ringside doctors, corner teams, Nadia Bjorlin rush in to check on the now former champion. Brooklyn heads back to her corner, getting a big hug from Claudia, to imagine at one point there were questions whether or not Brooklyn could thrive at this weight, she is doing that and more now, she is told it's best she gets cleaned up before any blood from her nose drips onto Claudia's top, making Brooklyn giggle as the new champion nods to her.
Meanwhile, Amanda‘s turned safely to her side, mouthpiece taken out her mouth so she can breath more easily – Righetti stirs awake, dimly aware of what‘s happened, helped up in rickety stages, as powerful legs still quiver, waver. She‘s helped up to a round of applause, raising her right hand into the air, her eyes betraying devastation, disappointment, getting ready to be checked out by backstage doctors.
Brooklyn applauds Amanda as she watches her leave, now though it is time for Brooklyn to take center stage, her left arm is raised in victory as an FCBA committee member wraps the welterweight title belt around the waist of the new champion, her fans chanting her name as Brooklyn blows them kisses, posing for the cameras with her arms flexed and a cheeky grin. Soon as that is done, Brooklyn leaves the ring, giving out high fives as she walks around the ringside, thanking her fans for their support, the champagne will certainly be on ice ready for her return to her stables locker room, who will be the first to challenge her?
Decker was surely marchin‘ through one of her worst nights ever in the ring, as Righetti was throwing BOMBS at her all night long. Late upset‘s the result of Brooklyn‘s incredible stamina, hard resilience:
“Nobody busts you up like Righetti – she‘s the biggest beast in the ring,“ Brooklyn explains in her locker room later, holding a glass of champagne. “But my stamina was ace tonight – I was takin‘ damage like crazy, but somehow my legs still felt so strong! I *knew* I could outlast her this time, especially after seeing how Tahnee got cooked by her last month – that really motivated me! My confidence was just off the charts, you know. And once I got that first brick loose, and I sensed she was startin‘ to slow – I knew my time had come! This was always going to be my night, and not even Amanda could stop me!“
“I‘m devastated by my own performance,“ Amanda admits herself, holding an ice pack on her left eye. “I should have gone all the way – that wasn‘t the real me during those last two rounds! Gotta admit – I thought Brooky was done, and I was a little shocked by her comeback, and couldn‘t find the switch again. All props to her – she‘s earned this the hard way.“

Before: Now it's time for the FCBA welterweight title bout, for the second time in their careers Brooklyn Decker and Amanda Righetti fight, with this also being the second time Decker has challenged Righetti for the welterweight title, the first time these two met was a hard hitting war of attrition, Amanda finally ended the resistance of her challenger that night in the tenth round, will history repeat or will it be revenge for Brooklyn?
Leading into this fight Brooklyn earned this shot by defeating Alice Sabatini in a number one contenders bout on the Gold Rush event, while Amanda has been dominating the division with sixteen straight wins, Amanda clearly trying to beat the record of twenty four consecutive wins, which was set two years ago by guess who? Yes Amanda is trying to beat her own record along with most consecutive title defences set at nine by Taylor Swift.
A press conference was held in the venue where the fight is taking place twenty four hours later, first on the stage comes Brooklyn with a figure hugging black dress and heels, Amanda not to be outdone with her navy blue dress, heels and a special piece of jewellery wrapped around her waist as the title belt is proudly worn, both fighters met face to face, no hint of fear on either fighters face as they are both proud women, Brooklyn edging closer so they go nose to nose, Amanda moving to make it a touch of foreheads as it's like a game of chicken, daring the other to escalate things.
Maybe luckily for fight fans not wanting to see them injury the other before the big bout they are given a few words by the FCBA committee member on the stage, both take a step back with an intense stare, journalists looking on in awe of these two gorgeous strong women, both fighters deciding to save it for the ring as they separate to stools placed either side of the stage as a podium is brought on to stand in the center.
After a few moments maybe to let them cool off, Brooklyn is given the center stage as she heads to the podium to speak, taking a breath as she pushes a loose strand of blonde hair behind her ear, Brooklyn tells the assembled crowd:
“This has been a long journey to get back here, three years ago I had Amanda beaten, Big Red was rocked and the title was in my grasp till one punch changed the fight around,“ Brooklyn shakes her head, looking as if she is relieving the moment the fight turned against her and the referee had to step in to save her from a nasty knockout.
“A year later I would achieve my dream, prove my many doubters wrong and become a two weight world champ, I did what not many can do in this era, I showed I could rule this division, now I prove it once again because while I respect you Amanda, I don't see you as this bogeyman figure every welterweight should fear, I saw the fear in your eyes as I ripped away at your body and hurt you, I saw the fear when I had you on the ropes, you are far from invincible and I prove once again I can rule this division by fixing my mistake from three years ago“, an impassioned speech from Brooklyn, marching back to her stool as Amanda applauds her.
Now it's time for the champion as she walks up to the podium, taking the title off to place it in front of herself, Amanda says, "I respect you too Brooklyn but something you said after I beat Tahnee (Atkinson) last month, that you would do what Tahnee couldn't, you would finish the job where she couldn't, of course I studied our fight and last I checked you couldn't get the job finished, sure you are a hard puncher, once that finish line came along though you fell over and as I have done so many times to so many challengers, I simply sprinted past you to the finish,“ that makes Brooklyn clench her fists, not needing another reminder of that night.
Amanda taps the title with her right hand, telling everyone, “See, this means everything to me, the reason I am where I am for heading towards fifteen years is because I work harder then everyone else, I tough out all the hardships and I finish the job when it presents itself, while Brooklyn says I am not a bogeyman, I know I am in your head, come the time we knuckle up I'll have already got into your head like Mike Tyson vs Frank Bruno“, grabbing her belt, Amanda raises it up for the cameras before she heads off the stage, not paying her opponent attention as Brooklyn stares daggers at her.
Fight night, first through the curtain onto the stage comes Brooklyn with her coach Claudia Schiffer standing to her right side, Brooklyn raising her arms in the air as she enjoys a loud cheer from the crowd, she heads to the ring wearing a black sports bra with gold trim, matching trunks and shoes, gold gloves with black thumbs, hair in a ponytail, she marches down the aisle, throwing a few punches as she looks focused, stepping into the ring with a nod to her fans chanting her name, bouncing on her toes as Claudia gives her plenty of encouragement.
Here comes the champion!
Amanda pushes aside the curtain to step onto the stage with the title firmly around her toned waist, Nadia Bjorlin is on her left side, Amanda taps her gloves together with a little grin, then she takes a breath and the veil of an ice cold look shows itself on her beautiful face, the actress heads down the ring taking her time, letting the challenger stew in the ring as she is on her time, Amanda is wearing a red sports bra, red trunks with her surname in white letters on the waistband, red shoes and gloves, while her hair is braided, she climbs into the ring with a look out to the crowd with her back to Brooklyn, Nadia taking the belt off her as Amanda taps her chest with her right glove, nodding to her cheering fans that she has this.
The referee gets the title belt and brings the fighters together, for the moment the title belt isn't the focus as challenger and champion touch foreheads so they can lock eyes, it's another intense stare down as a few words are exchanged, the duelling chants though stop anyone apart from maybe the fighters hear what was said, once the final instructions are read out, there's a thud from the fist bump, then both jog back to their corners, fists up as they look ready, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of FCBA welterweight title fight action...
Fight: R1: At the sound of "Ding, ding, ding!, both fighters step out their corners with their eyes locked behind their gloves, trading jabs in circles as they try to get into range. Decker‘s stance‘s loose, tall, a little lanky – right hand‘s curled atop her chest, left hand at the hip, lifting it into sling-jabs at Righetti‘s guard, then side-stepping her via fast, leggy leftward pivots. Righetti‘s stance‘s small, tight, compact – she‘s trying to weave inside blonde‘s majestic jab, step her short left/right hook into tender blonde breadbasket with plenty of champ‘s big-girl authority! Redhead‘s intense/aggressive in early pivots, fitting short, spanking hooks off Decker‘s waistline, testing Brooklyn‘s skinny-yet-strong legs. ‘Manda‘s looking to push the tempo early, lashing a clean one-two combo through Decker‘s mitts, as she‘s weaved inside the arc of blonde‘s rangy jab-work – short, RUGGED shots fitted to Brooklyn‘s jawline make Righetti‘s power felt early!
Second minute – Brooklyn‘s starting to adjust against Righetti‘s beef/power, using her tall height, her lanky fighter‘s style to good, leggy effect.
Decker‘s strong, wide-legged, taking lopes, gaits around Righetti‘s tight, compact frame – lots of wide, rangy jabs/crosses fly, keeping Amanda busy, cautious, as jabs flop to her tummy/waist, sullen right hands *spank* off her jugs, stop her when she‘s still on approach. Righetti‘s still being pushy n‘ sturdy, adamant to keep her pressure on leggy blonde at all costs – blonde stunner dips under the champ‘s hard-straight, drops two short, *beefy* right hands to Righetti‘s abs, forcing her into baby-steps, then wrapping up, pushing her back! Decker‘s all relaxed n‘ smiling, as Righetti‘s getting a taste of blonde‘s toughness – girls pivot loosely from there, trading stiff one-twos.
Final minute – girls negotiate for range/position, nearing in circles. Righetti hops close in bobs n‘ weaves, doubling up the hook to Decker‘s trunkline/rib – GETS STROKED THE LONG LEFT HOOK!

Righetti stumbles to ropes, where Brooklyn sets up in sturdy, muscular fashion – she‘s all over Righetti‘s hunched frame, riding her into the ropes via the left arm, as right hand belts n‘ chops away at the champ‘s biceps/shoulder!
Bell – girls steely-eyed on way to corner, all business. Brooklyn‘s corner talkin‘ tactics early: "Key‘s taking away Righetti‘s strengths – legs, core, biceps, you name it. Gotta be the bully, Brooklyn – that way you‘ll still be fresh once her legs start to fade, girl!"
R2: Fighters come back out, slinging more punches in volume, hoping to outwork their opponent, throwing rhythmic flurries of shots – Righetti‘s stepping in with a double jab, squaring it up into her foe‘s face, targeting her cheeks/temple. Decker‘s steadily driven back, as Amanda advances, taking over mid-ring, showing her toughness. Righetti‘s jabbing stiffly from her shoulder, right hand at mouth, her chin tucked, working her girl over – quick, heavy jabs to Brooklyn‘s mouth/guard, as short, stubby right hands slot to blonde‘s ribcage, punish her. Blonde‘s leggy, organized when in retreat – she‘s taking a series of loping steps out, working heavy side-arm shots against redhead‘s either flank, easing pressure. Righetti‘s a-marchin‘, rollin‘ forward smoothly – she‘s driving Decker back in circles, dictating the action, but blonde‘s counter volume‘s intense, lashing out at redhead‘s flanks/tummy. ‘Manda absorbing plenty of shots to her pate/chest/ears – she‘s bodying Brooklyn back to walk down blonde in high-risk attacks!
Second minute – Amanda‘s starting to push back Brooklyn more, landing a short, sweet uppercut that sends the challenger onto her heels and right into baby-steps, retreating to a neutral corner. Righetti setting up her first trademark ropeside siege on slick, leggy blonde in big-girl fashion – THICK right hands to paunch, short CLOBBERS to biceps/shoulder, EXPLOSIVE inside-uppercuts at Decker‘s jawline from up close! Decker‘s rickety, treated hard n‘ rough by bigger champ – blonde‘s trying to tie up, push off, smothering Righetti‘s relentless, grinding attacks for ref‘s breaks!
Final minute – blonde‘s mighty legs turn the action wide, rangy.
Brooklyn‘s roaming, loping, changing the tempo at will – lanky, lashing body shots chip away at Righetti‘s waistline, as short, brawny, compact shots drift to redhead‘s guard/skull once Decker‘s actually staying put, trading-with on the spot. Righetti‘s the pressure fighter, but Brooklyn‘s finding her spots – she‘s dropping stings to ‘Manda‘s cheeks, clubbing a left cross to dodge the champ‘s right. Girls still sluggin‘ it out mightily at the bell to the crowd‘s loud, roaring approval, as girls stay dippin‘, lashin‘ out, trying to steer the other girl around, impose will on foe – both girls raise arms, smile wryly to lay claim on round.
R3: Girls lay down the mid-ring jabs – Brooklyn‘s long, lashing poke against Righetti‘s short, hacking, dynamic work. Amanda‘s being faster, more aggressive, doubling up on left hands to weave, step n‘ lunge into range – Righetti sets up sturdy positions atop blonde‘s legendary jugs, just being stubborn, busy as she‘s working Decker over in Big Red-style. Brooklyn‘s backing up, clearly overwhelmed, as ‘Manda‘s constantly looking to jostle/contact, slugging her to the tits n‘ chin. Decker‘s wide, lashing wallop fires off past Righetti‘s shoulders, as sturdy, dynamic redhead‘s dipping under blonde‘s jab reach, pushing her ropeward more n‘ more! Decker tries to sort it out at the ropes, wraps an arm around Righetti‘s head, pullin‘, pushin‘, hopin‘ to bog her foe down in wild, chaotic embraces or ref‘s breaks – only ends up wearing down herself under Righetti‘s sturdier pressure!
Mid-round, girls start to trade jabs into each other‘s face, boxing around the center in long, striding steps n‘ circles – Righetti roaaaaaars a wide, choppin‘ straight-left upside Brooklyn‘s hairline, *lighting* up as blonde‘s head SNAPS back in jolt on crackling impact!
Left body cross across Brooklyn‘s jugline! Right body cross across her shoulder/bicep!
Blonde‘s hurtled, rocked, baby-stepping into torso sways – Righetti‘s just too stubborn n‘ sturdy! There‘s an aura of confidence around Righetti, as redhead‘s champ‘s dictating tempo/aggression on her own terms – she‘s a-sluggin‘, clubbin‘, pummelin‘ her girl! Decker‘s long, mighty legs busy to lope out into free range – she‘s struggling to find shots off her back foot, as sturdy Righetti pressure mounts up! Righetti‘s got Brooklyn trapped in a game of cat n‘ mouse – Decker‘s finding crisp one-two counters off the ropes once she‘s able to plant her feet n‘ shoot ‘em, but her butt‘s constantly hitting the ropes, as Righetti‘s heat‘s grinding on in relentless fashion!
Down the stretch – blonde‘s tall, mighty jabs still can‘t hold Righetti off proper, as ‘Manda‘s weaving through, engaging on the inside on her own, physical terms at all times. Brooklyn‘s still strong, if a little dim-eyed, frustrated – she‘s looping her arm around Righetti‘s head, trying to twist her into stalemates. Righetti‘s just too strong n‘ pushy to give up her top position – right hand rides up blonde‘s torso, thudding her ribs/jugs, as blunt, heavy shots clobber blonde‘s proud chassis!
Bell – Righetti jogging to corner wide-eyed, all pumped up in excitement, seeing first signs of blonde wilt! Brooklyn meanwhile shows her first signs of frustration, tapping her gloves to her cheeks, as Claudia tells her to keep her head up, looking to keep her fighter focused. "We knew Righetti would punish you tonight – just gotta hang in with her there and chop her ass once she‘s a little tired!"
R4: Brooklyn‘s upping her tempo at last, getting more committed, more aggressive out of the gate – she‘s outslugging Righetti in early trade! Decker‘s planted tall/strong, her right leg back, pushing out strong jabs off her left leg – THUNDERS a crisp one-two through Amanda‘s guard, sizzling redhead‘s chin! Left cross answers, Righetti, doesn‘t land flush – Brooklyn dips, rolls, steps her own left cross across Righetti‘s chops, making ‘Manda‘s leg skid off the canvas in shock, as Big Red‘s feet go out of kilter. A smokescreen of jabs/straights to her foe‘s mouth/guard/lips, Brooklyn, as she‘s stepping into wide, long, aggressive forward strides – sets up rippin‘, slingin‘ akimbo shots across the champ‘s flanks, as Righetti hunches up tightly, clasping her elbows inside for protection, wincing in hurt, retreating!
Around the minute mark – there‘s more drive n‘ spunk from Decker!
Blonde‘s working from mid-ring, using her height/reach to good effect again, not shying away from heavy, POUNDING body shots against her sturdy foe‘s frame – girls get into jostling contact, grind foreheads, shovin‘, pushin‘ forward, as they whack away at each other‘s toned torsos, emitting grunts, groans. Brooklyn‘s definitely holding her own, trying to push off Righetti in big-girl fashion, steer her under control with lil‘ hip wedges and so on – Righetti‘s thrusting out her shoulder/jug against Brooklyn‘s lean, slender frame just to make a point, show her who‘s boss, as anger/provocations flare up in heat!
Final minute – Decker‘s out throwing licks, drumming her rangy straight-arm bats/whacks across Righetti‘s pink-ish tummy/flank meat, frustrating redhead, wicking away at her legendary core/leg strength! Righetti‘s in the crouch, staying explosive herself – short, jamming jabs/right hands directed to Brooklyn‘s ribs/jugs, looking to switch uppercuts at blonde jaw from up close!
Down the stretch – girls trade the long jabs, as blonde‘s taller reach‘s finally reigning supreme! A missed straight from Righetti earns her a counter left on her lips, setting up the right hook to follow-up - ‘Manda‘s bottom lip‘s split, retreating her to the ropes with grimaces/frowns. Brooklyn‘s in pursuit, outworking the champ in the home stretch, peppering her skull/guard with that smokescreen of jabs/crosses, looking in vain for an uppercut opportunity, as Righetti‘s defense holds!
Bell- girls lock eyes from across their opposite stools, two alphas battling for supremacy, as the tension between them could be cut with a knife. "Too much spunk from blonde girl – time to get into destroy mode, ‘Manda!“
R5: Righetti‘s raising the aggression again, winning over jab game in mid-ring tussle – she‘s staying tall n‘ strong, jabbing-with, dropping a slick counter-right past Brooklyn‘s jabs, rushing it to blonde‘s tits/jawline, using her stout, stocky power. As girls drill the jabs with plenty more venom, Decker‘s forcing Amanda back some steps once her double jab‘s getting through to redhead‘s cut lip, trying to walk Righetti into the ropes – short, choppin‘ body shots from Righetti‘s tight, dipped stance break those situations quickly, as redhead‘s leggy footwork‘s still fresh/elegant, her power brutalizing blonde‘s tender frame. Decker repeatedly ROCKED off her stance/balance, as ‘Manda‘s chops rush in, trying to hold off the redhead via fast, sticky jabs up top – Righetti‘s alert, dipping under blonde‘s rangy lefts, dropping hammer-style lefts/rights in Brooklyn‘s gut/jugs instead. Brooklyn‘s a leggy, yet blinking, alarmed beauty – she‘s trying to find her feet, doing lil‘ stumbles, roaming away, trying to walk around Righetti‘s heavy, rhythmic jab.
Mid-round action – Decker‘s wandering hectically alongside the ropes, as blonde‘s leggy footwork‘s saving her from sustained Righetti sieges!
Brooklyn‘s on the back-foot, trying to switch into a counter – blonde‘s tall right-hand uppercut chips off the ropes, tossing past Amanda‘s right shoulder, as redhead leans in, *slamming* her short-right to Decker‘s mouth first! Blonde‘s head *jolts* on impact, as pretty eyes go into dizzy blinking, her legs a-stumbling – Righetti dips n‘ stoops, going to Brooklyn‘s breadbasket with gut-busting power, cuffing her! Brooklyn‘s trying to fall into a clinch, tie up around Righetti‘s hard shoulders – STEPS into ‘Manda‘s short, carved lil‘ uppercut instead! Blonde‘s torso sloshes against the ropes – she‘s rag-doll!
Hard left to chest! Tap-jab at Brooklyn‘s upper temple! Right hand to ear!
Brooklyn‘s eyelashes go into heavy flutter, as wondrous legs buzz under Righetti‘s steady power drill, leaning left n‘ right – SUDDENLY PITCHES OFF THE ROPES IN A SLEEPY TILT! Blonde‘s legs wilt under Amanda‘s pressure, as her knees sag, finally toppling over to the canvas hard – BLONDE GIRL IS DOWN!
Righetti‘s all business, not celebrating, jogging to a neutral corner, smiling in pleased satisfaction at Brooklyn‘s plight, the crowd chanting “Big Red! Big Red!“ in anticipation of Righetti‘s next triumph over her welter preys! Poor Decker‘s down there a-groanin‘, a-grimacin‘, propped up on all fours, taking deep heaves, trying to find her energy, composure back – she‘s shaking her head in gritty, teeth-clenched denial at ref‘s stern, relentless count, 1...2...3. Brooklyn pushes up to her knees, then her feet at 4...5...6, nodding wildly to ref, “I‘m here, I‘m here“. Blonde raises an arm at 7...8, stabilizing her legs, beats the count – “Hell, I want more, ref!“ Righetti returns to her fight stance, tapping her gloves, as eyes light up in fight lust – girls get back into it!
Final minute – all Righetti.
Brooklyn‘s still leggy, defending herself pretty well – but her butt‘s always just shy off the ropes, only sending back a wallop here n‘ there, dippin‘, slippin‘, tiiiiiilllltin‘ as Righetti‘s looking to siege n‘ destruct her like a surgeon! Amanda‘s broad white back glistens with sweat, as she‘s working her over – hard, chopping shots to Decker‘s flanks/jugs, as Brooklyn‘s grimacing, cramping! Decker‘s greedy to tie up, clinch around Righetti‘s frame, slowly finding legs back, stabilizing despite heavy pressure from champ!
Inside corners during break – Brooklyn‘s startled, breathing hard, cursing under her breath, as Righetti gets a nod from Nadia, “Time to take blondie behind the woodshed – girl‘s ready to go to freakin‘ sleep, ‘Manda!“
R6: Girls back out fierce n‘ intense early – nearly clashing heads, scrubbing shoulders in scruffy tussle, as Righetti‘s looking to press her last round‘s advantage while Brooklyn‘s trying to show she won‘t go out easily. Righetti‘s being faster, as she‘s bobbin‘ on the approach, weavin‘ her way inside Decker‘s range with short, aggressive stubby-jabs to the tits/shoulders – she targets blonde‘s waist/flank, keeping a steady bob n‘ weave stance to slip Decker‘s rangy receipts. Brooklyn‘s being leggy/mobile, but she‘s under constant shufflin‘ pressure by Righetti‘s left hand pump – blonde‘s trying to catch Righetti a slice of short lefts, rights to ease the work, missing most of shots, *eating* short, explosive hooks back!
Around a minute inside, Brooklyn‘s forced to jog/negotiate her way out, growing defensively, as 'Manda‘s stepping it up big-time – stiff, PUMPING lefts/straights bloody Decker‘s nose! Blonde groans, jogs out wide n‘ rangy, breathing heavily – Righetti parries Decker‘s rangy left, snapping a left cross to blonde‘s mouth! Short right hook on the chin, Righetti – pounding shot turns Brooklyn‘s head a swat to the side, as sweat n‘ blood toss off, crowd a-screamin‘! Decker shuddering under pressure, keeping her hands up, as guard gets ROCKED, legs blasted into wild totter – Righetti‘s knockin‘ it through to her face!
Final minute – Righetti sets up shop atop Brooklyn‘s chest!
Amanda positioning on top of blonde‘s torso, pushin‘ at her foe‘s elbows, cuffin‘, hookin‘ at the ribs/waist/tits, looking to switch off Decker‘s legs with devastating lil‘ chin-uppercuts from close scratch – Brooklyn being tight, *miserable* behind her guard, sponging body shots in tuff, dim-eyed depression!
Down the stretch – blonde‘s out grabbing a hold of the champ, trying to push/press back, looking for kidney hooks across redhead‘s flanks. Just a little shy off the bell, Righetti cramps up Decker‘s legs with a nasty solar plexus left, stiffening her into exquisite position – RIGHT HAND BATTERS TO EAR! Blonde stumbles off, as head‘s swatted aside, torso tilting, legs all wobble – bell! Righetti *screams* out savagely at the bell, as blonde just won‘t quit, staggers back to corner.
Break – Decker‘s a rattled, sweaty beauty, taking sighs/grimaces of hurt, as Righetti‘s got her ribs/flanks all tenderized. “Gotta survive, Brooks,“ Claudia says sheepishly. “Your dream‘s still alive as long as you‘re still up on your feet, girl!“
R7: Girls clash early, eyes all steely with fighter‘s passion – the leather‘s cracking frequently, as girls pop n‘ sock ‘em! Girls sport the same tight, elbows-in stances, as they step-in, close, weaving side-to-side, trading punches hard n‘ heavy – girls dip low to get a sweet angle, shovel stern, *brutal* right hands behind each other‘s elbow/flank. Brooklyn‘s freakishly strong/resilient herself, but she‘s not exactly built for this sort of physical slug-out against Big Bad Red – blonde‘s eyes go all dim/blank, her face a grimace of hurt, but she‘s SO tuff, holding her own here, repeatedly cramping up Righetti‘s legs/core herself with SAVAGE, whoppin‘ counter body-punches to ‘Manda‘s flank/lats! Righetti‘s more effective, slowly grinding blonde back to ropes all minute over, as sturdy shoulders roll n‘ punish – she‘s laser-focused, as auburn-haired warrior‘s really looking to break Brooklyn‘s will for good!
At mid-round action, girls start to fall in heavy, tired, sweaty, the girls‘ strong/tall frames resting against each other‘s torso, buttocks a-strainin‘, shoulders/hips pressin‘ forward, as teeth grit, eyes flash – this brutal pound-out war‘s taking its toll!
A scene at the ropes, final minute – Brooklyn erupts!
Righetti bearin‘ down, just pushin‘ off big-girl – Decker leans-with, bringing a shove to Amanda‘s face to create space. Dip, and left cross, Righetti – blocked! Counter – a straight left to Righetti‘s cut upper lip! Short right hook to the chin *swivels* Righetti‘s head, as her legs go wobbly-butt, eyes widen in shock! Decker marches out of her corner, pounding a tall, heavy one-two, as ‘Manda‘s back-pedalling, hands in peek-a-boo – and the overhand left sneaks up to Righetti‘s cheek, chop! Righetti rushes forward in alarm, as her legs falter, tying up under Brooklyn‘s shoulders, pushin‘ her back – Decker wedges her hip in between Amanda‘s legs, resists, holds for ref‘s break! Girls grit gumshields, heads grind together, as welter beauties body up, go into phonebooth slug-out – girls hiss at each other, scrubbing each other‘s abs/flanks, as lithe bodies take the brunt of attacks, trying to shut down power supply!
Bell – ref‘s forced in hot, pushing girls apart after hardest, most grueling round so far, ruled a draw. Claudia‘s optimistic – “You‘ve punched her to a standstill, Brooklyn – you‘re startin‘ to wear her out!“
R8: Righetti‘s tired!
Redhead‘s legs no longer as fresh n‘ athletic, as seven rounds of fierce blonde resistance *finally* make themselves felt – and Brooklyn packs out her jab in time! Decker‘s using a tall gun-platform stance, as she‘s rotating in rhythm, POPPING a jab to Righetti‘s face, her footwork still so smart n‘ sleek despite Righetti‘s grinder – Big Red‘s getting her face spanked! ‘Manda trying to dip n‘ roll after several late head-bobs, wanting to intrude blonde‘s range, get on top – Decker‘s ready, rifling a short-jab/long-right combo on the incoming redhead, busting through to Righetti‘s tits/chin with venom! Amanda groans, negotiates, finally back-pedals out of range – Decker‘s eyes light up at redhead‘s stumbles! Blonde‘s fast in pursuit, slipping past the redhead‘s slow, heavy jab – absorbs two hooks to the bod on her way in, but SNUGGLES the mean left cross to Righetti‘s ear, boom!
Amanda‘s wobbly-butt!
Redhead falls into clinch, trying to bull-rush blonde to ropes on raw, physical terms – Decker slips, gets into top position instead, twisting n‘ turning Righetti‘s butt into rope for ref‘s break, her eyes wild, fiery, as ‘Manda grimaces, shuts her eyes in hurt, buttocks a-shiver under Decker‘s weight.
At mid-round, the action‘s still messy – but Brooklyn‘s quick, EXPLOSIVE off ref‘s breaks!
A double jab snaps off Decker‘s left shoulder, pop!, pop!, instantly driving Righetti back, as head catches sock! Amanda‘s eyes flash up in anger – left cross, Righetti! Blonde tiltin‘, bobbin‘ her upper torso away in time, narrowly slippin‘ Righetti‘s blistering chin-check, her eyes wide in alarm. Left hook, Brooklyn! Rockin‘ shot rolls to redhead‘s left eye, earning a howl n‘ grimace – champ‘s eye swells ugly immediately!
Final minute – Brooklyn‘s starting to impose her will!
Righetti‘s eyes grim/frustrated, biting at Decker‘s feints, as left-eye swell‘s clearly bothering her, leggy pivots slowing into big, steppin‘ trudges – she‘s sullen, outside, getting shelled head n‘ shoulders by Brooklyn‘s heavy, poppin‘ jab! RIGHETTI ERUPTS! Girls trade in mid-range: Righetti lifts a HEAVY, battering uppercut off her hip, probably her biggest punch of the night so far – Brooklyn slips back a smidge, turning solid knockout punch into brushy lil‘ graze, survives with a tilt! Right counter cross upside Amanda‘s temple – redhead backs off! Righetti a-ridin‘ the ropes until the bell, arms crossed at the face to protect her left eye, giving up her tummy – Decker‘s shelling her, tapping to biceps/arms/gut, hoping redhead‘s guard will slip open for chin-check!
Bell – Righetti‘s corner in shock at Brooklyn‘s fresh legs/jab game, working magic on the champ. Redhead‘s chest‘s a-risin‘ heroically, her broad back all glistening with sweat, taking deep heaves, eyes going into a steely gaze. “Brooklyn‘s freshness‘s just a smokescreen, ‘Manda,“ Nadia determines. “Girl‘s more tired than you and one solid right hand will kiss her good night!“
R9: Brooklyn enjoying a sudden advantage in footwork/fresh legs – gets to stalkin‘ Righetti!
Redhead champ sullen, dizzy-eyed, taking longer, wider pivots out of range, trying to establish her heavy, repulsing jab on terrorizing blonde again – Decker‘s dictating tempo/rhythm, though, steering Amanda into ever-tighter pivots/circles, making canvas small n‘ narrow. Brooklyn‘s sleek, slingin‘ jab‘s more than just a nuisance for Righetti – the jab‘s fast, long reach imposes blonde‘s will on stutter-stepping redhead, constantly flappin‘, flickerin‘ at Righetti‘s eye/temple, frustrating the champ, wicking away at her spirits/energy. Brooklyn surprisingly strong n‘ beefy inside the grasp once Righetti‘s sponged up enough shots to actually bob n‘ step into range – she‘s the one palmin‘ up, ridin‘ a fist up Righetti‘s shoulder, steerin‘ her off, bumpin‘, shovin‘ her around! Righetti startled, frowning at blonde womanhandling her – she‘s starting to slow, staying more n‘ more in crossed-arm, bobbing stances on the spot, right hand at left jawline/left hand at right elbow, spongin‘ it up, torso stiff, eyes vacant.
A minute in, Decker‘s just being SAVAGE about Righetti‘s head n‘ shoulders – she‘s employing a broad, wide-legged stance, BASHING at both of redhead‘s ears, as ‘Manda‘s grimly stoopin‘ forward, trying to reach around blonde‘s hips for break. Brooklyn targeting Righetti‘s left side with cruel precision, going about brutally on her swollen eye with a zig-zag of jabs/crosses. Redhead not anywhere near helpless – Righetti‘s strong legs still a thick-thighed bastion, rollin‘, slippin‘ the blonde‘s heavy right hand, thumping back jabs/straights to the blonde‘s waist! Amanda‘s eyes wide, brightening a little, as Decker‘s groaning, taking a back-pedal off a sneaky-hard body shot – left cross attacks, Righetti!
Thumping jolt-shot rolled off Amanda‘s left hip – but Decker slips it, juuuuuussst!
Counter right hook to the jaw!
Double jab! Right cross!
Righetti stumbles into Brooklyn‘s arms, those pretty eyes now a vacant stare, legs a-totter, jawline slack n‘ loose! Decker so hungry, lustful – she‘s twisting Righetti around, waiting patiently for ref‘s break, staying strong n‘ alert, feeling Big Red soften under her grasp!
Ref‘s break – Decker immediately STABS a long, straight left hand to Righetti‘s chin/mouth, unhinging Amanda‘s powerful legs at last! Righetti totters forward, arms crossed, trying to reach sheepishly around Brooklyn‘s hips again – Decker slides a half-step back, loads up on righty haymaker!
Ensuing right hand takes ALL of Righetti‘s jawline!
Righetti‘s head swatted aside in a toss, as eyes roll back, legs lock up stiff – THE CHAMP TAKES A CAPSIZE!
Righetti tippin‘, keelin‘ over her legs, falters – she finally collapses hard and fast onto her tummy, arms by her side, head pooled against the canvas, as Brooklyn screams out “yes!, yes!“, quickly herded to a neutral corner by the ref. Amanda lightly groans at the start of the ref‘s count, 1...2...3, as muscular shoulders stir, eyelashes flutter open n‘ shut, open n‘ shut, 4...5...6! Righetti‘s not really responsive, only stirring ever more weakly, her broad white back stiff, motionless, as the count‘s passing her – she‘s all sleepy n‘ out! Brooklyn‘s SAVAGE knockout rocks the boxing world, as formerly dominant champ‘s pounded to freakin‘ sleep by Decker‘s once-in-a-lifetime jackhammer!
Winner and NEW FCBA welterweight champion – KO9 Brooklyn Decker
After: For the second time in her career, Brooklyn Decker is ON TOP of the welterweight mountain, she covers her mouth with her gloves, tears filling her eyes as she looks in almost disbelief that she was able to knockout Amanda, especially in such a brutal way, as ringside doctors, corner teams, Nadia Bjorlin rush in to check on the now former champion. Brooklyn heads back to her corner, getting a big hug from Claudia, to imagine at one point there were questions whether or not Brooklyn could thrive at this weight, she is doing that and more now, she is told it's best she gets cleaned up before any blood from her nose drips onto Claudia's top, making Brooklyn giggle as the new champion nods to her.
Meanwhile, Amanda‘s turned safely to her side, mouthpiece taken out her mouth so she can breath more easily – Righetti stirs awake, dimly aware of what‘s happened, helped up in rickety stages, as powerful legs still quiver, waver. She‘s helped up to a round of applause, raising her right hand into the air, her eyes betraying devastation, disappointment, getting ready to be checked out by backstage doctors.
Brooklyn applauds Amanda as she watches her leave, now though it is time for Brooklyn to take center stage, her left arm is raised in victory as an FCBA committee member wraps the welterweight title belt around the waist of the new champion, her fans chanting her name as Brooklyn blows them kisses, posing for the cameras with her arms flexed and a cheeky grin. Soon as that is done, Brooklyn leaves the ring, giving out high fives as she walks around the ringside, thanking her fans for their support, the champagne will certainly be on ice ready for her return to her stables locker room, who will be the first to challenge her?
Decker was surely marchin‘ through one of her worst nights ever in the ring, as Righetti was throwing BOMBS at her all night long. Late upset‘s the result of Brooklyn‘s incredible stamina, hard resilience:
“Nobody busts you up like Righetti – she‘s the biggest beast in the ring,“ Brooklyn explains in her locker room later, holding a glass of champagne. “But my stamina was ace tonight – I was takin‘ damage like crazy, but somehow my legs still felt so strong! I *knew* I could outlast her this time, especially after seeing how Tahnee got cooked by her last month – that really motivated me! My confidence was just off the charts, you know. And once I got that first brick loose, and I sensed she was startin‘ to slow – I knew my time had come! This was always going to be my night, and not even Amanda could stop me!“
“I‘m devastated by my own performance,“ Amanda admits herself, holding an ice pack on her left eye. “I should have gone all the way – that wasn‘t the real me during those last two rounds! Gotta admit – I thought Brooky was done, and I was a little shocked by her comeback, and couldn‘t find the switch again. All props to her – she‘s earned this the hard way.“
