Vanessa Hudgens vs Jessica Lowndes (Lookout! Boxing vs Lioness Club of America) (42-27, 35 KO vs 25-14-1, 24 KO) Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: Yes, two of the most notorious flyweights around the league are at it again! Michelle Williams aside, the rivalry between Vanessa Hudgens and Jessica Lowndes is the prime match-up among the current generation of flyweights and the Michigan audience is treated with chapter number five of this intense duell. Both girls are locked at two wins apiece but ESPN's Erin Andrews reckons we'll hear more from this girls in years to come as tonight's encounter is by no means the showdown decider.
Tension isn't even the word to describe the mutual disdain between two luscious brunettes as they enter the ring. Elisha Cuthbert and Eva Mendes try to keep things a little calm if possible but it's basically a calm before the storm. Of course there's no touching gloves here and both girls promise to finish the other one off in truly gruesome fashion. "I'll send that bytch into surgery!", says Jessica while Nessa claims to "rip the tramp's jugs off!" even though we don't follow JMD rules here. However given how Demi Lovato outsmarted Selena Gomez in the event's opener, nobody should be so naive to expect a fair concentional fight between two bitter enemies!
Vanessa Hudgens wears a violet bikini set and pink gloves. Medium-lenght raven-black hair in curly waves. Jessica Lowndes wears a turquoise bikini set and black gloves. Dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.
Round 1: Every single FCBA fan in the state of Michigan expected a high-flying start to this notorious duel but to their astonishment, both girls prefer to hang back during the opening round and only test each other with meaningless single punches. Even Erin Andrews is speechlees over this tactics and perhaps, just perhaps Nessa and Jessi have actually learned a thing or two about patience in the ring? Not every round should be fought like it's the last one in your life and after all, both these brunettes known each other very well based on previous encounters. Still, the crowd expects blood here and begins to jeer at the lukewarm attractions - who would have thought that literally a couple of minutes ago? Neither girl blinks first though and we head back for the first interval having probably witnessed the most dire three minutes in the boxing careers of both girls.
Round 2: Erin Andrews hopes we've witnessed a classic calm before the storm in that woeful opener and sure enough, Jessica STORMS into a massive aerial attack early in the seconds and gets a little fortunate, she bounces off the top of Nessa's gloves and nails her on the nose before adding a left hook on the liver area which bends the fellow brunette to the side. Hudgens refuses to back off though and whips an overhand combo only to find the Canadia ducking low and drilling her tummy in ferocious fashion! Ugh! That drops the Californian onto her heels and Lowndes follows right through her pounding away in classic flyweight fury which breaks Vanessa's resilience come the final minute. The self-proclaimed Fittest Flyweight in the league loses the close range exchange by numbers and gets backed into the ropes while wincing her struggle but gets silenced when Lowndes scythes her across the chin having found another way to slice the high guard. "C'mon, you pig!", Jessica screams at the bell and Nessa responds with a long death stare but she finds no vocal answer to that Canadian rally.
Round 3: More of the same in the third, Lowndes outworks her nemesis in close range landing many vicious shots to the body, it forces Hudgens' guard down and the Canadian actress has the speed required to flick punishing uppercuts on the exposed chin. Vanessa refuses to back off or clinch her rival though and maintains the jabbing gear that brings her little joy until this point. She keeps bouncing off Lowndes' superior guard and doesn't find the light touch to land her counter-strikes. Quite frankly she looks heavy-legged here and Erin Andrews thinks she focused on training her sister Stella a little too much in recent weeks. And if her preparations for this stable war were compromised, Jessica Lowndes is the last person you'd want to give even the slighest of advantages. The high guard improves a bit come the final minute but the attacks remain unsuccessful and Jessica has a field day blasting the sluggish Nessa on the guts and pins her into the corner where only the bell halts her progress.
Round 4: Despite her increasing advantage, Lowndes still lacks the big punch to wobble Hudgens off her mental edge and actually doesn't follow the JMD script like Erin Andrews was quick to predict beforehand. It doesn't matter when you can rattle easy hooks from both sides and Nessa's head snaps back repeatedly during the opening miniute which threatens to turn this bout into a Lioness whitewash! Hudgens is literally glued to the spot as she soaks up the heavy close range slugging and begins to wince a little louder when the fellow brunette nails her with a low hit on the waist! Ugh! That was very low indeed but no foul is called even though Lowndes anticipates it and looks over at the ref. That split second is enough for Hudgens to land a crisp combo straight up the middle and halt the Canadian charge, she jumps into a trigger-happy jabbing display thereafter and now matches the Lowndes intensity but the sheer production remains suspect and the Lookout entourage is unsure whether the late push is enough to even draw the round. Stella Hudgens could have been proud of that performance but it's still well below par for one of the pin-up girls of the entire league!
Round 5: You just don't see Paris Hilton and Michelle Trachtenberg look so upset during a Nessa fight and now Stella Hudgens joins the Lookout front office members in the private lounge, Erin Andrews knew that the little sister wouldn't miss this event but the Fittest Flywieght needs a better advice here and well, she's the first one who breaks into the oh-so familiar jug muggin' territory and stuffs some nasty uppercuts into the Canadian cleavage. Lowndes gets vocal when struck first but then responds in a similar fashion and the hectic bumper car boxing is only stopped when both girls accidentally clash heads and force a break from the man in charge. It also halts the all-too-brief JMD ordeal but Nessa catches some confidence wind in mid-distance and loops several menacing hooks to keep Lowndes at bay. Jessica weaves around on her feet and looks to stick more leather on the younger brunette's body but thinks better off it and decides to protect her lead on the cards. A drawn round is a good round for the Canadian stunner at this stage but Erin Andrews thinks that's the first sign of Lowndes showing any sort of respect to anyone around FCBA. Normally she'd thrive in furious attacks against such a cumbersome opponent but those last two defeats at the hands of Nessa must play on the Canadian'a mind as she arrives at half-distance with a healthy lead on the scorecards.
Round 6: Well, enough is enough for the Lookout boss. Paris Hilton makes her way to Nessa' corner and Stella follows her like a little puppy. Just who gives the Wannabees member orders around here? A heated discussion between Paris and Nessa headlines the interval but the brunette tells her boss "to beat it" and claims "she knows what she's doing!". Heck, she could have fooled Ms Andrews in the ESPN booth but one must give such a talented boxer the benefit of the doubt. Off we go into the sixth and Hudgens is all over the Canadian's guts as she hits the turbo mode and finally beats her arch-rival for the opening punch. She clobbers Lowndes around the elbows and spikes the liver area but only makes the all important difference when she wobbles forward and catches her foe with a quick head-butt that wobbles the fellow brunette on her heels. But the ref waves off the protests from Claudia Schiffer and just as Jessica's knees bend, there's Hudgens powering ahead with a brutal series on the rack! Ugh! Lowndes gets pounded into the corner on the spot as she fails to regain her balance and has to cover up when the American BLASTS her across the liver area with one very fine punch! Ugh! All Nessa in the final minute, she wraps the subdued rival in a proper jabbing frenzy and fends off the counter-efforts by slamming a right hand straight into Lowndes' nose. Another left hook on the liver leaves the Canadian shaken and very much stirred in the corner at the bell and Erin Andrews says that Vanessa poured more damage on Jessica than she soaked up during the first five rounds combined!
Round 7: The punches are flying around University of Michigan Stadium right now as Jessica knows better than anyone she can't let Vanessa jump onto a momentum train during this crucial part of the fight. Sitting back on the points lead is no longer a solution so she squares up to the California brunette but finds herself nursing a nasty cut under the left eye when Nessa splits her mitts and bounces off the cheeks with impressive ferocity. That's the Fittest Flyweight everyone north of the border has grown to hate but Lowndes gets clubbed on the wounder spot so often, she can't match the Lookout heat and aches out her pain before wobbling into a crushing uppercut on the solar plexus that makes her slump against Nessa's waist. "Take that, sl*t!", Hudgens follows up with a brutal shot on the liver and not even the Hall of Famers could have escaped the quick trip to the boards that occurs next... DOWN GOES LOWNDES ON HER KNEES and it's a major turning-point in this bitter duel! All the emotions are out for the Lookout babe and Lowndes is HURT!!! She hugs the aching liver and needs the eight count to mount a last-ditch recovery! However she remains visibly slumped and refuses to look both at the ref and her opponent. Erin Andrews thinks it's all over and the stoppage is a formality but NO, the ref allows the aching Canadian to continue. And even she looks stunned by this decision however Vanessa couldn't care less as she sprints from the neutral corner and BLASTS the other girl on the nose with full power and adds a right hook on the jaw that sends Jessica's mouthpiece flying off into the stands and DROPS THE CANADIAN FLAT ON HER BACK!!! Ugh! That was cruel and uncalled for! It doesn't matter, Lowndes is down and out and the ref waves it off!!!! Like he couldn't have done it ten seconds earlier already! KO7 Vanessa Hudgens in controversially cruel fashion!!!
AFTER: If the Lovato/Gomez result was a disaster for the Lioness Club then Vanessa Hudgens' come-from-behind victory makes the hell freeze twice over here in Michigan! Forget about the large lead on the cards that went up in smoke but even Erin Andrews thinks this bout should have bee stopped after Lowndes looked out of sorts following that first knockdown! One builds 'em tough north of the border but there's a genuine feeling the referee committed a serious offense of not protecting the fighter's health. LCA head trainer Claudia Schiffer wants to have a word with the winner and Elisha Cuthbert and Paris Hilton make their way to the ring as well. "Where was your towel, bytch!", Paris claims Schiffer could have halted the fight on her own and Nessa's all over her too: "This is a stable WAR, you German rat! We fight until one can't take it anymore and hell, that Canadian bimbo deserved all she got here! Who cares if she's hurt or not!"
Since Claudia Schiffer is outnumbered by the Lookout crew, she only signals for Eva Mendes to help her carry the semi-conscious Lowndes off to the locker room while Elisha keeps the buzzing Nessa off her prey: "We'll celebrate all week when we WIN the entire war! This isn't your choice, Nes!"
Reluctantly, the Fittest Flyweight in the FCBA accepts these orders but still twerks some booty before walking off to the standing ovation from the audience. Cruel, controversial, whatever, it doesn't matter when you're this popular around the country! And there's no time for any Lioness post-fight sour grapes since we're ready for some bantamweight action next with the Lookouts still on course of a memorable sweep of their bitter enemies!
Final result: Vanessa Hudgens def. Jessica Lowndes KO7. Stable War: Lookout! Boxing 2, Lioness Club of America 0.
