Lacey Chabert vs. Anna Kendrick

Results: Lookout; Words: Alpha Boxing Club

Chabert: “She’s an up and comer. No question about that. Like so many girls before her, she has risen from the bottom of the flyweight division to challenge all the established fighters. Kendrick has been on a great run, stopping girls who… underestimated her. I won’t make that mistake. Actually, when you look at her record, you know who’s knocked Anna Kendrick out? Champions. I’m a two-time flyweight, and two-time JMD champ. So I think Anna is going to have a very short night!”

Kendrick: “I’ve never understood girls who are proud of being a multiple time champion. Doesn’t that mean you had a title, then you lost it? So, aren’t you saying that you the were the champion in four fights, and you LOST those fights? I mean, I don’t really have room to talk since I’ve never had a belt… But those kinds of thoughts... who has what status… those thoughts don’t enter my mind in the ring. I just want to fight my breast fight - BEST - best fight!” Anna turns red as the room explodes with laughter. Anna points defensively at Chabert’s chest as a smile cracks her lips. “She’s not a two time JMD champion for nothing! Admit it, you all were admiring them too!” Lacey joins the laughter as well, as she stands to show off the goods to an appreciative crowd. The tension in the room momentarily defused by Anna’s slip of the tongue.


The ladies meet at center ring, gloved up and ready for action. Anna fights in her traditional royal blue, athletic cut two piece with the DBC logo on her left hip. Lacey opts for a flattering white bikini that contrasts nicely with her tanned skin. Polite touch of gloves as the girls return to corners.

Round 1: Targets are clear from the opening bell. Lacey. Wants. That. Chest. JMD instincts drive Chabert to hunt jug in the early going. She’s jabbing low, nipping at any openings in Kendrick’s defense, all the while looking to punish Kendrick’s perky assets. Anna tucking that guard in tight, stiff jab shooting out from her right shoulder. She’s picking up Chabert tidy on the cheek and forehead. Lacey ducking and weaving best she can, willing to pay to get inside Kendrick’s bra. Single heavy shots landing simultaneously on both girls. Chabert’s head pivots as a right hook land on her cheek. Kendrick’s jugs jump as Lacey’s uppercut slams them skyward. The bell rings before either girl can continue and both girls slowly return to their corners. Neither fighter wanting to show they’d suffered any damage in the opening stanza.

Round 2: Gloves up and eyes bright for both fighters as they circle at mid-ring. Chabert the busier puncher. She’s getting off in two and threes, changing levels, feinting to draw Anna’s guard. Kendrick’s jab just can’t seem to find her girl. Anna’s punches constantly slipping just off target, glancing blows that Lacey avoids and counters. It’s not a JMD match, but you wouldn’t know it by watching Chabert’s offense tonight. She’s still throwing to head and body, but each combination always comes back to the rack! Kendrick shaking her head pouty with each blow, stutter stepping backwards as she tries to reset. Chabert leaps after her with a big right hook… and LANDS it clean on Kendrick’s chin! Anna’s legs stiffen as she falls back stunned to the mat! She’s buzzed as she grabs the middle strand and hauls herself upright! Anna takes the standing eight as Lacey licks her chops, waiting for the signal. Kendrick sags back in the ropes, covering up tight as she can as Chabert wades in. Lacey loading up for some power shots… when she’s clipped on the chin! Chabert is stunned by that stiff resistance, unable to press her advantage against the damaged brunette. Anna continues to throw back hard to keep the bully off as the bell rings. Kendrick lost the round with that knockdown, but there’s still plenty of fight in her.

Round 3: Kendrick slumps back on the corner padding. A mix of pain and relief crosses her face as the ice packs are applied to her chest. She’s nodding her head as she takes in the advice and encouragement. Knows she needs to change the script this round and protect her chest! Chabert galloping across the ring as the bell still echoes. She’s looking for more of the same, but Anna is unwilling to stand and trade. Kendrick using her feet more, attacking and angles, sticking and moving. It’s slick, effective boxing from Anna, and Lacey growls as she’s stymied by the new tactics. Every time Chabert tries to hunt down her girl, she gets a hard jab to the face or tummy. Kendrick piling up the points this round, controlling the action as she dances around the ring. Lacey with her guard in tight as she closes… but Anna reaches down wide, SWINGING that meaty hook and burying it into Chabert’s flank! Lacey cringing with hurt, but Anna’s already thrown the rest of the combo, a straight right to the chest and a sharp hook to the chin! Lacey stumbles back into the ropes! She’s dazed and needs time to clear her head. Anna looks to close, but Chabert’s pawing jab is just enough of a deterrent to carry her to the end of the round.

Round 4: Both girls rising early from the stools, Lacey buoyed by a steely resolve. Kendrick just as resolute. Each know that they have the power to damage the other. The respectful distance between them acknowledges the hurt from the previous rounds. The action starts slowly. Single jabs caught on gloves or landing sharply on exposed flesh. A steady crescendo of two way action… punches flying and landing both ways. Anna again taking hard shots to chest and chin, ponytail whipping with each landed punch. But she’s answering each of Chabert’s blows with one of her own. Lacey swimming in hurt as she’s buzzed to cheek and takes hard, thumping shots to her body. Both girls sponging up the best the other has to offer. Two warriors tucked in tight to the opponent at center ring. The ten second warning brings big swings from both girls. Kendrick shoots a tight uppercut to Lacey’s rack, hamming those elite jugs. While Chabert goes body, practically doubling Anna over with a meaty hook to the solar plexus. The ref dives in to separate the girls. A quick touch of gloves as the girls stumble to the protective cocoon of their corners.

Round 5: The accumulation of Lacey's beautiful career in the ring shows on her face after the break. Chabert slow to rise, still breathing deep to process the last round. She needs more time, and tries to buy it with her legs. Kendrick up and bouncing before the bell. Anna steps with her girl. Probing and hunting for the opening she needs. Lacey miscalculates her distance from the ropes. Her back hits the cords a moment earlier that she planned. And Anna DIGS that hard hook into Chabert’s tummy! Lacey crying out, tears forming in her eyes as she’s paralyzed on the spot! If her long career in the ring got her into this spot, Lacey’s experience gets her out. Chabert instinctively steps into Anna, their limbs tangling as Lacey holds on tight… and the two girls tumble to the mat! The ref rules it a slip, but it’s more like a tackle! Kendrick can’t hide her shock as the two girls return to scratch. What else might this wily veteran try if she gets in trouble? Chabert tries to run the rest of the round. Boos emanate from the fans at the arena. The fight has been all action so far, and the crowd expected it to continue. It takes Kendrick almost the full frame to find her again. But it’s a jab, jab, straight right from Anna that lands square on Lacey’s mouth, knocking her backwards and spilling her onto the ground! Chabert needs a moment to collect herself on the mat, and it’s a slow, creaky rise from Lacey just before the end of the round. Chabert’s head hung as Anna thrusts her gloves skyward. An extra sway in Kendrick’s hips as she feels like she’s the best girl in the ring tonight.

Round 6: Fierce look from Chabert during the rest period. Any questions about her resolve and her heart are answered as she raises her fists for round six. Not a trace of quit in her sparkling eyes. Kendrick popping her gloves together as she closes the distance, the trace of a smile playing across her lips. Her eyes flash as the challenge of putting away an elite competitor like Chabert sends a thrill through her. It’s strong work from Lacey at center ring, tucking in tight to Anna, left arm pinning Kendrick’s glove to her side. Chabert’s right glove is free swinging, pumping hurt into Anna’s tummy and bra. Kendrick tries to disengage, buy herself the space she needs, but she’s unsuccessful. Forced to stay and trade with Lacey, Kendrick gives as good as she gets. Anna popping her hips into big, beefy shots. Both girls damaged in the exchanges, but neither girl can grab the upper hand. Energy levels fall as the ladies fall in, heads on shoulders. Ragged breathing as the punch rate falls. Ten second warning sees a final flurry from Chabert. Three fierce hooks to body. Anna cringing upon receipt, but freeing her left and hand and crunching a mean hook to Lacey’s chin. The corners forces to come out and collect their girls, worried that they might not make it home under their own power.

Round 7: Deep breath from Anna Kendrick. Every time she thinks she has Lacey hurt, Chabert keeps coming back for more. What will it take to put this girl down? Lacey closes with her guard held at her chest. Anna takes full advantage, stabbing her jab into Chabert’s face. Once. Twice. Three times Kendrick snaps her glove onto Lacey’s tanned skin. Chabert stumbling in a stupor. She’s just sponging up the hurt. Unable to get herself together to throw back. Anna continuing to change the angles, using her footwork to set up the next punch. Lacey now swinging and missing. A big left hook from Chabert comes up short and leaves Lacey off balance! She stumbles forward, shoulder hammering home into Anna’s chest! Kendrick wraps up her girl, legs strong as she stumbles back into the ropes. She quickly reforms her guard, pushing Lacey off her to open up room and LAUNCH two heavy uppercuts into Chabert’s body. Lacey SO hurt by those blows, knees giving way as she begins to fall! But she’s caught by another Kendrick hook, spinning her down and sprawling her out on the canvas. Ref’s count just a formality. Chabert writhes on the canvas as the accumulated damage of the fight washes over her. Kendrick’s eyes wide as she leaps up, climbing the neutral corner to celebrate with her fans! And the ref counts ten making it official, as Chabert is still spread out on the canvas! Your winner by KO7 ANNA KENDRICK!

After: Why didn’t Anna go after Lacey’s jugs? “The best girls in the league haven’t been able to crack that rack, so I knew I’d have to try something else. Does Chabert have the best chest? Well, two JMD championships say she’s in the discussion, that’s why I couldn’t let this fight go there, even though…” Kendrick grimaces as she adjusts her bra. “Lacey clearly has her favorite targets, you know? I just showed everyone in the league and can hang in there with the best! So the next girl who fights me better watch out!”
