Jessica Nigri versus Emma Rigby
(Words: WW / Results: Lookout!)

PRE-FIGHT: 

The British actress isn't even mildly worried. "I'm pretty interested in meeting this new girl." Rigby comments. "She seems to be quite the mystery to everybody. I've been handling myself quite well, so I'm sure this fight won't be dreadfully difficult. Very hard to predict, though. Newcomers are never easy to guess on."

The cosplaying model, however, is much more excited. "I seriously can't believe this fight is happening!" Nigri says, seemingly shaking from both adrenaline and nervousness. "It's my debut, so obviously it's a really big deal. And, I mean, well: of course I think I'm gonna win! I just really hope everyone likes seeing me out here: I'm gonna do my best to put on a show!"

Nigri's in a pink lacy bikini with sequins, rocking blue gloves; Rigby's decked out in a black and red number with silver gloves.

ROUND 1: Nigri practically dashes out of her corner compared to Rigby's calm walk. They both touch gloves before putting their guards up; a nice display of sportsmanship! That peace doesn't last for long, though: Nigri digs right in, landing a hit in the belly button! Rigby still showing her calm attitude by jabbing at the American to make her stop. Two right hands smack Jess directly in the head, but she keeps going for the stomach. The next few hits make Emma crumble, and Jess follows up with a deadly left hook! The British girl fights back, though, throwing some punches to Jessica's ribs which FINALLY settle the girl down. Back in a neutral form: a little more circling, and yet again Jess is the one to go for it, sliding her fist right into Emma's eye, trying to follow up but only to get her punch parried. Rigby goes on the offensive with some nice shots, but Nigri's too quick: weaving with some VERY on-point footwork. Once again, a very fair trade: Nigri lands some meaty hits on Rigby's breasts, but the girl fires right back as she hits the cosplaying model in the face, only to get struck in the breast AGAIN as the bell rings, Nigri's final hits taking the round and putting a giddy smile on her face.

ROUND 2: Once again, nothing stops the energetic American as she charges right into Rigby AGAIN! Rigby goes on the defensive, though; very smart, blocking all of her shots. Nigri takes it easy, steps back. Emma throws a nice straight, it gets blocked, throws some jabs, it gets blocked--you'd think she'd finally able to get her momentum going, but NO as Nigri catches her while she throws a stomach blow. A right hook catches Rigby's cheek and sends her stumbling back, Nigri following up with more breasts smacks and a gut punch! Rigby gets very close to the corner, but finds her way out as she throws a connecting haymaker that's intended for escape rather than speed. Finally getting some breathing room, Emma reforms her stance and advances toward Nigri. Rigby clearly wants a little revenge for those breast punches, but she doesn't find any as Jess keeps getting right out of the range for it. The round continues, Jessica taking control all the way through, and it ends with Jessica landing a solid face-mashing combo, ending with a staggering uppercut! She giggles in success as she walks back to her corner, making the Brit roll her eyes and grit her teeth, ready to inflict hurt the next round
.
ROUND 3: That statement wasn't hyperbole; Rigby teaches Nigri a lesson about aggression as she catches the model with a nice chin-wrecking uppercut! The Brit makes up for lost time by using Jessica's stunned state as handpicked revenge: quick shots to the breasts, but she likes working on that midsection too as a right enters Jessica's side twice. She goes for the face and starts working there, but Jessica finally comes to, staying alive and defending herself from Emma with a beautiful straight punch! Nigri connects with a few more as they go to the center of the ring, but now Emma shows off her footwork with a slick dodge-and-counterpunch that rocks the model's body. The actress' skill comes through as she starts to power through some of Nigri's hits, connecting more with speed. Yeah, Emma's not taking it anymore: Nigri finds herself backing into the ropes as she throws get-off-me punches, but Rigby won't have it! One does hit her in the face, but she lands a nice three hit combo to prove she's done warming up! Nigri starts to slow down as the bell rings, proving Emma did a darn good job this round at showing just why she isn't to be trifled with, newcomer or not.

ROUND 4: Emma's gaining traction, and Nigri's still a bit slower! The latter plays the neutral game, thinking she's got an opening, and WHAM! A haymaker that drives the crowd wild as Rigby gets ready to follow up. Now Nigri's on the run; she's the prey and Emma's the predator with her powerful shots making the newcomer dodge for her life. She wants to get back in there, but Emma just won't let her: any shot she fires is promptly blocked or dodged! While most might boo for being so defensive, it's really hard to blame Jessica! Rigby catches her with more counter hits, the newcomer is caught between the ropes and her opponent as the actress lands some more deadly punches all over Jessica's face! The ref steps in to make sure Nigri's alright: she is. Back at it again, but even STILL Nigri just can't get the momentum back! The round ends with Rigby sending Jess stumbling to her corner. As the latter is out of breath, the former is happy that she finally stopped her opponent's crazed excitement and speed long enough. Has she stopped it for good? We'll see in round 5!

ROUND 5: Not exactly! Jess comes out slower, but finally decides to go back to the offensive state she held before! It's another equal trade, at first, until Emma connects a nose-breaking left hand to halt Nigri! Emma continues her display of dominance with more left-rights, Nigri taking all of it! Sweats flying off of her, and the final one lets out a little blood; Emma is NOT messing around! And NOW Nigri's back on the run, but Rigby won't let her leave! She keeps up her dominance, catching Jess with bodyshots as she flees! The newcomer looks a bit scared as Rigby makes her way, clearly realizing that the British girl has had enough! A few more bodyshots connect, but Jessica finally fights back out of fear, throwing a nice little punch into her opponent's chin. This is just enough to escape Emma's rampage, but that doesn't stop the actress from barreling onward! Nigri steps back, struggling to hold on, barely getting her guard up in time to avoid a crazy knockdown. Emma desperately trying to break it apart, but Nigri is on point! Rigby, as we approach the third minute, starts to slow down, and OH! Jessica uppercuts her right in the stomach! Rigby bends over, gasping for air, and Nigri gives her none as she wrecks the actress' face with a vengeance! Nigri finally back in control, and building up speed as she keeps going for the body over and over--another punch and she LANDS a knockdown, finally! Nigri cheers and bounces up and down before jogging back to her corner, earning some much-needed rest! Emma, very shaky, gets up at the count of 8. The bell rings as Nigri sneaks in one more punch to the boob, fully gaining her smile and confidence back, and now EMMA is the one who's worn out and tired! Emma took that round on points: but at what cost?

ROUND 6: The corner seems to have stopped the bleeding on Jess, but Emma still seems like she's weakened. Jessica's definitely turned the tables: Emma making more mistakes and Nigri just capitalizes on them with punishing blows! Rigby's still hanging on, but not putting up much of a fight. The model was still playing everything very carefully, but she's just getting very half-hearted resistance in return. Emma throws a punch, Jessica blocks it and just smiles at her enemy, beckoning her with a cute little "C'mon!" Emma's throwing shots and the American dodges them with ease, making a little game out of her opponent. She giggles audibly as Rigby whiffs, before unloading a huge punch right into her jaw! Emma moans as she gets pushed into the corner, still getting battered! It's a wonder how she's still standing, folks; Jessica's loving it! She knows she's in control, and she's just teasing the British girl who refuses to give up. The ref steps in, and SOMEHOW Rigby convinces him that she can still fight! Maybe she's just too punch drunk to realize she's not doing so well? In any case, at least it look like Rigby's got a bit more energy. She tries to conserve it as Jessica hovers around her, ready to knock her down for good. With just seconds left in the round, Jessica AGAIN assaults Emma's breasts, causing the Brit to cry out as the bell rings. Nigri blows a little kiss to her opponent with her glove, who's too out of it to even register. Jessica wins this round! 

ROUND 7: Alright, Rigby's looking a bit better, after some corner rest; she does have a lot of tenacity! Both girls move forward, but Emma can't help but move back as she tries to fend off the aggressive Nigri for just ONE more round. She's trying, but she simply CAN'T! Jessica slides an uppercut right into Emma's stomach, a hook into the breast, and another uppercut right into the chin to send Emma stumbling onto the canvas and into the ropes. The actress falls forward on all fours, struggling to get up, but she just collapses into the canvas as the ref hits 10! Jessica Nigri wins her debut with a KO7!

POST-FIGHT:

As her name is called and the ref holds her hand in the air, Jessica just can't stop bouncing with excitement from the win; not that our male audience minds, of course! Rigby still isn't stirring. Jessica really knocked her lights out; her corner starts reaching for the smelling salts, a little bit shocked themselves by the sudden finish Jessica gave them!

The girl hops back into her corner and soaks in the cheers as she wipes away a few tears of joy. "That was SUCH a good fight!" Jessica said, gushing afterwards. "Emma was super, SUPER tough, but in that 6th round, I was just so confident and I knew that I had the chance to win it, so I took it! It was such a rush landing those last few punches! Oh, by the way, Emma, if you get to see this: sorry about all the punches to your boobs! I couldn't help it, really! They're a fun target to hit!"

No idea if that was a taunt or a genuine compliment: Jessica gets out of the ring and walks up the ramp, doing a cute little victory dance as she makes her way out of the arena.
