Packard vs Reid


Packard in purple bra style athletic bikini, Tara in white bikini. Kelly Packard had studied the Reid/Teri Hatcher fight and had come to the same conclusions that most boxing analysts had—Hatcher had blown the fight and Tara had eked out the duke simply by being better than expected. There would be no such reprise of the Cinderella act for Tara against Kelly—the Packard who had brawled Eliza Dushku to a draw, wh had battered Kari Wuhrer into a bloody stupor and had savaged Shannen Doherty would put together one if the greatest technical performances in the history to leave Tara Reid in tatters after 7 clinical rounds.

It began with 3 straight shutouts—this was classic Packard, probing her girl with a lengthy stick, scoring right hands through the middle then bobbing, pivoting to one side as Reid continually swatted at air.

The next 2 rounds, also shutouts for Kelly, saw the former champ go to the body off the jab, landing snick-snack across Tara’s golden tummy, then elbowing the girl of balance as Reid hunched forward behind her guard. As Reid’s defense broke down, Packard started to find the hook upstairs, complementing that bashing right cross and weaving it altogether with the jab. After 5, Tara had a dazzled look—unable to find her opponent, getting touched seemingly at will—it was the kind of heartbreaking beating veteran have been giving novice for generations in the FCBA and both girl were well aware what was going on.

Kelly began setting down on her punches in the sixth. A batting double hook body and head spilled Tara to all fours early in the round, and a sharp right hand on the mouth off a slapping left hook dropped Tara on her butt. Reid would recover to land her first punches of the night, taken professionally on either shoulder as Kelly stood in the pocket, in perfect position to counter.

The end came with Kelly Packard placing picturesque left uppercuts and right hands on Tara’s chin, stepping to the right around her girl and banging heartlessly away as Red collapsed. A series of rights drove Tara sobbing to the ropes and a vicious finishing flurry saw Packard ransack the defenceless blonde, taking belly, breasts and head in a long chugging burst of licking punches. The ref would stop this contest in the final minute of the seventh. Cradling a shattered Tara Reid as Klly Packard stomped away with the KO.


7 rounds to love, Kelly Packard. 5 shutout rounds Packard, with the 7th ending early and Reid winning ony 1 minute out of 20. 2 knockdowns and KO7 Packard/ I love the fact that there were no serious power punches landed during Packard’s 5 consecutive shutout rounds to open the bout—you really had the sense that she was methodically breaking her girl down, working tactically to set up the knockdowns and stoppage that seemed to flow naturally from the foundation.
