Before: Hayden getting piqued at the questions about her recent troubles: "I'm coming off those losses to Hale and Evigan and I mean to turn things around. I'm fighting Sarah because I know she's a tough opponent--she left me crying on my back in 2013 and don't think I've forgotten that! I beat like a ragdoll in 2012 and I'll do it again!"
Sarah by comparison the kind of relaxed that comes from two years when her only losses are in title fights: “We’re both out here to support our friends, it’s a beautiful beach, and we couldn’t have a bad fight if we tried! This is going to be fun!”
Hayden in purple bandeau top, white bottoms with little purple dolphins on the seat, white gloves, hair back in a battle pony. Sarah wearing her patterned beach fighting bikini, black gloves, hair in trademark gypsy curls running wild. Both fighters undefeated on the beach, don’t need to be told to go barefoot on sand.
R1: Hayden busts out a stubby, stiff jab, knocking Sarah’s head straight back, immediately taking initiative. A circling, stalking fight develops as Panettiere angles to the right, looking to pound left jabs onto Shahi’s mouth. Sarah frowning, trying to jab back—giving a good account of herself as Hayden has to accept leather on HER mouth in trade. Down the stretch, girls tummy up: Hayden’s stocky legs stamp and strain, forcing Sarah to ropes. Panettiere salts away the round with shove-and-slug at the apron, fighting out of the clinch, tucking in workmanlike leather to the bell
R2: Competitive, two way action, but all fighting takes place at the ropes with Hayden on top and in control. She’s stronger in the clinches, legs and backside stamping and jiggling to keep Sarah pinned down. She’s rougher in the exchanges—paying Shahi back for shoulders in the mouth and drawing warnings for accidental head-scrubbings as she’s working for position on either shoulder. Sarah fighting with bared teeth—straining and slugging her heart out, but she just can’t get her back off the ropes. Girls constantly holding and hitting, tucking leather into excited little tummies, jamming away at flanks, uppercutting each other inside, Constant scrounging work favors Hayden as she whittles away at her foe’s reserves.
R3: Sarah visibly uncomfortable, getting scattered out of her stance as Hayden's spitting stubby-jabs; lunging hooks out of the crouch ; whacking the body. Midway through, Shahi bailing out to her left - her right hand extended to ward Hayden off. Blonde girl rushing in, sweeping the sidearm right straight, pounding right side of face as Sarah's stumbling away. Shahi staggering to ropes, Panny swarming as crowd goes into frenzy. Blistering beatdown, Hayden to Sarah: blonde girl unleashing a torrent of lefts and rights to waist, putting the exotic brunette butt-in-ropes, then roaming upstairs to clobber Shahi about the head and shoulders. Sarah getting trounced, bending at the waist, trying to roll the incoming, completely unable to answer. Hayden finishes up the round with sickening rights slamming onto Shahi's ribs as she cringes face-in-gloves...Panny locked in KO lust has to be pulled off by ref as she keeps pouring on after the bell. Shahi visibly shaken, blinking away tears, but pulling herself together nicely on her stool during break.
R4: Sarah jamming in straight lefts and rights, punching Hayden on her face with a jagged, rapid-fire delivery. Panny banging back, swinging hard side to side lefts and rights, biting the punches off sharp to keep the delivery from getting sloppy: good tight stuff from both girls as ‘lil vixens batter each other. Blistering back and forth for minute one: minute two, Shahi doubles up that jamming right, catching Hayden stiffly on her mouth - blonde stumbles aside, rattled. Sarah pounces in a slightly hooked palm-down left - punching Panny’s head back; cracks her another stubby right: HAYDEN GOES DOWN! Stumble morphs into a crashing drop for Hayden to all fours - she's back up quick, split lip, eyes blinking. Sarah pouring it to Hayden: brunette wades in with that same ratchetting attack - punching Panny again and again on her face as little blonde lifts her mitts to ward off punishment. Not working: Shahi pouring through with pure vigor and volume - pasting Hayden, then walking her down as blonde stumbles to her right at ropes. Sarah pounds her way back into this fight with precision power punching!
R5: Hayden pouring forward, Sarah ready with a stinging right cross, then pivoting clockwise to turn Panny's flank. Hayden turning, losing velocity, Sarah’s able to fit her for poking lead lefts, followed by a quick, clip-across, right hook as Shahi's shifting weight to back leg. Panny getting hit hard here, tries to close, Sarah bends low at the waist, pivots counterclockwise around her planted right foot, and comes up on Hayden's six, just off blonde left flank. Panettiere turns, gobbles up a pinpoint straight right hand to left side of face: AND GOES WOBBLY-BUTT! Shahi icy-eyed, leans in close, clips the right uppercut across Hayden's mouth; drops the short left hand into the same spot. Hayden stunned, crosses arms at her chest, bobbing on the spot. Sarah lathers right hooks, cuffing Hayden’s scalp, or digging at leftside lats. AND BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Hayden hits the sand for the second time tonight, makes it up to her knees, but left hand rubbing her back, she’s not getting any further. KO5 Sarah Shahi!
AFTER: When reporters ask Hayden later why she did it, she'll respond with a quick shrug, a “No Comment” or describing it as simply the heat of the moment. It may well have been the overwhelming afternoon heat that drove her over the edge. More than likely it's any number of factors, such as Shahi taking the edge in their current rivalry, her first three-loss streak in the entirety of her career, the upcoming Hall of Fame threshold fast approaching and the continued rise of Shahi in what has been Hayden's division for years – something just snapped!
Sarah Shahi was giving a post-fight interview with KNOCKOUT! Magazine about how she and Natalie Portman are the only fighters with a winning record against Panny in the flyweight division, in addition to Natalie Portman, but she was cut off midstream by Hayden suddenly tackling her to the sand, in a tangled, squealing and flailing heap of limbs as sand flew up into the air. Reporters and the assembled audience gasped in surprise, with supporters of each cheering on their respective fighters as they rolled around on the sand, sand sticking to their sweaty bodies underneath the hot afternoon sun.
The sun was beating down on them, with both Hayden and Sarah beating down on one another as finally Hayden managed to roll on top, teeth bared and snarling, “Guess you didn't see that coming, huh, Nancy Drew?”, a reference to her ill-fated television pilot as she rained down slaps across her face. Rain would've actually been appreciated at this time, but another form of relief came – for Sarah at least – in the form of Eiza Gonzales, who yanked at Hayden's blonde tresses to pull her off of Sarah Shahi!
Hayden continued to kick wildly, catching Shahi in her breasts and belly, forcing Sarah to roll away as she caught her breathe. Hayden went to wrench her hair free as she elbowed back at Eiza's abs, when suddenly Eiza was speared down to the sand by Candice Swanepoel. A loud grunt of air exhales past Eiza's lips as the two of them tumble down to the sand, with Candice seeking to scissor her foe as they roll around.
Hayden is dropped to all fours as she shakes her head, rubbing her reddened scalp as she sees reinforcements arrive from both Foxfire Boxing and Odds & Ends as the situation is escalating rapidly. Laura Vandervoort and Ashley Greene practically collided, with enough force to make an audible crashing sound as the two of them somehow managed to stay on their feet, with each of them just ripping at each others hair and punching at one another's abs with loud grunts escaping from one another with each collision of fist against flesh!
Danielle Fishel roared in to reach for Claire Holt's tresses and bumped her frame into Holt to hip toss her down to the sand with a loud thump! Claire was quickly on her feet as the of them unleashed at one another like they are at a tennis game with plenty of forehands and backhands, heads snapping swiftly enough that observers are concerned about the possibility of whiplash. Danielle and Claire refuse to back down, staggering around the sand as they battle one another alongside Laura and Ashley, who both are in bikinis looking like they are competing for that coveted 'Queen of the Beach' title.
Demi Lovato actually shocked everybody, with the crowd whooping loudly as she delivered a stunning dropkick, with the soles of her feet flattening Kendra Wilkinson's proud chest to send her falling back to the sand with a thud. Both of them landed to the sand with a crash, both were up quickly as they immediately lunged towards one another and launched into a Bearhug battle, their proud pairs pancaking against one another as they tried to push each other backwards to the sand.
Sarah Shahi got to her feet, seeking out Hayden and Panettiere also pushed her way back to her feet as the two of them locked eyes on one another through the chaos as they ran at one another. This time, Sarah was definitely much more ready as they both stayed on their feet. Sarah sent a knee up to thump into Hayden's midsection, doubling over as Hayden just yanked at her bikini top to pull her forward for a hard forearm towards her chest to knock her backwards. The two of them engaged in a fierce flyweight back-and-forth in a phone booth, only with eyes for one another as they taunted one another spitefully.
The referee crew were enjoying some free beverages at the bar when they got the news of the Foxfire/Odds and Ends brawl as they were forced to abandon them, tiny umbrellas falling in their wake as they sprinted towards the brawl to break things up. Hazard pay will likely be awarded to the referees as they wade in to a war zone between the two stables, with a few of them the recipient of a few inadvertent slaps and kicks as they wrenched them apart. Claire and Danielle were the first to be yanked apart, just snarling at one another as they took a deep breathe, looking to calm each other down. The referees were almost forced to wedge themselves in between Demi and Kendra, both of whom were looking to smother one another against the sand and it was certainly no picnic untangling those long, sinewy legs of Eiza and Candice as they tried to cut each other in half with scissors. Ashley and Laura were engaged in a savage hairpulling battle as they tried to tackle each other back into the ring, but were separated with no small amount of work, with neither of them moving any closer to the throne.
That left just Hayden and Sarah, who were just rolling back and forth over the sand, covered in sand, scratches and palm-prints all across their bodies as they snarled and shouted at one another. Even pulling them apart didn't stop one another from kicking and glaring at one another. Both fighters were surrounded quickly by their respective stablemates to keep them from barreling towards one another once again as each stable vows that this is far from over. Just when you things couldn't get any hotter with the ongoing 'Mistress of the Body Saddle' event, you have a moment like this and the repercussions from this one are going to be reverberating for some time to come! Judging by the taunts that the two stables are exchanging back and forth, fans may not have to wait too long for more between the two!
