Results: Lookout!, Writing: Bonzo

Before: Outside of 6‘2‘‘ Robyn Lawley, Iskra Lawrence might just be the biggest of the big girls at welter – her undefeated seven-KO streak against quality competition (Jennifer Lawrence, Sabrina Lynn) has lead her straight into a title match against the division‘s all-time great, record-setting Amanda Righetti. Ever since Iskra pounded Antje Utgaard to sleep in her debut – a woman many had long considered to be the biggest raw, physical talent at welter – her way to a title shot has seemed destined. Can Iskra take it all the way now and unseat the baddest girl at welter from her title?

“I‘m the biggest girl at welter – and I‘m here to take what‘s mine!“, Iskra Lawrence smiles. “Righetti‘s used to setting girls under pressure with her amazing athleticism and strength – but you won‘t see ANY of that in her fight against me! They say Amanda‘s jab hits like a truck? Well, MY jab‘s a freaking freight train! I‘ve got nothing but respect for Amanda, but I‘ll make her look small and outgunned, guys! I know a lot of people are going to be shocked by the way I‘ll treat what they thought was the biggest badass at welter, but boxing‘s a food chain – and I‘m here to eat Amanda up!“

“Gotta love Iskra‘s swagger,“ Amanda says. “I‘m intrigued about her game, but I‘m definitely ready for her! She‘s undefeated, right – that‘s going to make it extra sweet, handing Iskra her first defeat!“






Fight: R1: Iskra‘s definitely a bigggg girl, but she‘s also a lithe, fit, leggy fighter – blonde girl‘s platform stance‘s strong and compact, spitting out the sturdy jabs, as girls circle close early. Righetti‘s rarely outmatched on pure physical terms, but she‘s the smaller woman in this fight, no doubt – makes up for the disadvantage early via quick, explosive, no-nonsense POWER! Quick weaves/steps-into-range set up Amanda‘s aggressive stance, as her jabs drive home smoothly – short jab to Iskra‘s mouth, roll, short right hand square to the jugs, roll, left hook to the jugs! Bam, bam – early aggression‘s got Iskra‘s chest a-heavin‘, a-jugglin‘, hands up, her face a grimace, as she‘s trying to palm up hard on Righetti‘s shoulder to stop the onslaught, as redhead champ‘s ready to prove she‘s not here to get outgunned by Iskra‘s big blondeness! Righetti‘s being faster, more alert throughout early, first-minute circles/stalks, confusing Iskra via the rat-a-tat tempo/power from her jab, leaves her stunned, blinkin‘, back-pedallin‘, her heavy legs shakin‘, wobblin‘!

Second minute – Iskra‘s starting to adjust, edging in to set up shoulder-on-shoulder against Righetti‘s shorter, lither frame in more competitive mid-ring tussles.

‘Manda‘s jab‘s still the weapon in control, but once Lawrence‘s able to sneak under it, edge herself onto the inside, things get a lil‘ more interesting – it‘s the first time we see Iskra‘s beltin‘, STRAPPIN‘ right hand tidy up on Righetti‘s own chest/shoulder, sending a multitude of shockwaves/tremors down redhead‘s sturdy, toned legs! Girls trade ‘em hard here, smiting relentlessly – short, smooth right hands rise to mouths/chins, as girls hammer-drop the body shots, stuffin‘ it to opposite ribs/jugs/flank, testing just how sturdy the other girl‘s under big-time attack!

Final minute – Righetti up-tempos, tossing double, triple jabs right between Iskra‘s eyes/tits. Once Iskra‘s out there at the end of Amanda‘s stick, she‘s just resorting to SLUG – blonde‘s almighty, majestic right hands sail past Righetti‘s alert, dipping head! Left hand across the chin, Righetti! Smooth counter, as Iskra‘s a little outstretched after a right hand sails wide – redhead‘s eyes light up, as left hook CLIPS across blonde‘s jaw, gets her spilling away in a daze! Iskra‘s being hectical, confused, gets stalked to the ropes immediately, rolling left/right, left/right, as Righetti‘s stationed on top of her, rippin‘ jab after jab, right hand after right hand, at Iskra‘s guard/jugs! Bell – big blonde‘s in a stagger!

During break, inside challenger‘s corner – “Gotta assert your bigness in the ring, girl! You gotta really smother her jab – once her butt‘s in the ropes, you‘re the stronger girl, Iskra, no doubt!“

R2: Iskra‘s upping her tempo, finally stepping up her jab/rhythm against Righetti‘s sticky poke, laying back to answer – Amanda‘s in trouble!

Iskra‘s stance‘s big/relaxed, her left leg out front, step-dragging her feet away from Righetti‘s jab, as she‘s pumping up her own – she‘s establishing her SWAT! Lawrence‘s jab‘s a heeeeaaaavvvy, booming shot, landing with a bam!, bam!, against Righetti‘s raised, blocking guard, allowing Iskra to attack via a low, sturdy follow-up hook to the champ‘s body – ‘Manda‘s wincing a little, cramping up from the vicious rib/tummy shots! Righetti smartly taking half-steps back, dropping short hammer-style right hands to Iskra‘s jaw/cheek, but she lacks a good stance/position to do some solid damage, constantly shufflin‘, workin‘ to adjust against Iskra‘s monstrous physicality behind her punches! Righetti‘s adamant to trade, dipping left/right against Iskra‘s heavy rhythm, getting off hooks on her own – but Iskra‘s boom of a jab‘s definitely hurting her! Lawrence‘s collecting big-time highlight shots this round – thiiiiicck hooks tuck to Righetti‘s gut, tensing her up into tilts/freezes, as lefts/rights smash across the redhead‘s jugs, setting up to drift short, rising hooks to the champ‘s teeth!

Second, third minute – Iskra‘s harvesting the fruits of her aggressive, physical work!

Once Righetti‘s just a lil‘ less leggy, slowing down, Iskra‘s trudging, battering power‘s setting the tempo, and *dominating* the ring – she edges close for shoulder-to-shoulder contact, strokin‘, cloutin‘ her foe! Righetti gets to blinkin‘, her eyes wide, that pretty face all sweaty, pinched into concern – not a lot of girls step into Big Red with Iskra‘s freight train aggressiveness and just walk her down with this kinda swagger! Righetti‘s legs a sturdy wonder, of course, but she‘s constantly getting cuffed n‘ swatted n‘ nudged n‘ walked back, electing to protect her chin, giving up the flank/torso to Iskra‘s belting punches – clinches not yet an easy answer for Righetti, because Iskra‘s so strong/heavy inside them!

Bell – Righetti‘s face all tight/pinched, her eyes narrow, throwing bewildered looks at her corner, as team Righetti‘s concerned about Iskra‘s heavy, unrelenting power!

R3: Nothin‘ about Iskra‘s style‘s particularly fancy or slick at this point, but she‘s being rude, violent, incredibly effective – her middleweight jab‘s hitting Righetti‘s raised guard like a battering ram, and it‘s heavy, precise enough to keep Righetti on edge. The heavy, sullen spank‘s got Amanda‘s own jab game spooked, passive – she‘s just getting punished for intruding Iskra‘s range. Righetti‘s still being leggy, mobile on occasion, but once hit with the detonating power of Iskra‘s shots she‘s unable to cut off the ring effectively, just stepping away out of range with a teeter-totter! And the jab‘s just Iskra‘s introduction weapon – TRUE damage‘s done via the right hand!

About a minute inside, Iskra hauls a long, thuuuuddddddding right hand deep into the pit of Righetti‘s stomach, ooomph!, steps left, POUNDS a flat left hook to ‘Manda‘s hip, whack it! – blonde girl beamin‘ with delight at Righetti‘s grimaces, winces! Slowly, bludegon by bludgeon, a sullen, grim Righetti‘s directed ropeward against her will – lil‘ shoulder bumps, lat-hooks, forehead scrubs treat Big Red shabby! Gasps, oooh‘s, aah‘s by the crowd – the badass champ‘s getting handled roughly here!

Final minute – Righetti‘s finally able to get into range/distance again, upping tempo/rhythm of her legwork, stopping Iskra‘s show of utter force just a bit.

‘Manda‘s commits into rangy long-jabs, choosing high tempo/intensity over bigger power/precision – at range, Righetti can make Iskra seem a little slow/vulnerable, juggling up that jug meat with nasty jab/right hand combos punched flat/hard, as she‘s drawing out Iskra‘s right hand, countering her. Righetti‘s eyes narrow, focused, concentrated – lots of fast-jogs/slick-turns to move Lawrence‘s flanks, as blonde‘s jab/right hand slug‘s not nearly as effective once Righetti‘s not standing ready to get hit! Iskra‘s leggy, moving well for a big girl – but Righetti‘s up-tempo jab‘s starting to freeze onslaught late!

Break – Iskra‘s all pumped up, smiling big after a huge round, looking up at the video highlight reels of her power shots booming into Righetti‘s smaller frame. Righetti‘s chest‘s heaving, relatively upbeat as tempo/energy surge could dull some of blonde girl‘s fire!

R4: Righetti adjusts, adding more dynamics/rotation into her stance, moving closer to Iskra again in attempt to do damage on blonde, increasing both risk, reward – double, triple jabs bash at Lawrence‘s head/chest, as slinging‘ lefty/righty hooks slant down into blonde‘s ribs/stimach/hips off the attack jab. Iskra‘s swinging ‘em heavy early, refusing to let redhead steal her momentum – once, twice, her wide, toss of a right hand pretty much ziiiinnngs, friiiiizzzzles past Righetti‘s head, as champ‘s duckin‘, dunkin‘ to save her chin! Left hand, Righetti – Iskra pays a price for an extended righty haymaker, as redhead *pierces* through, stings blonde‘s cheek/jawline, tossing Iskra‘s head past top rope! Iskra jogging back, strong thigh meat a-quiver – Righetti‘s tight, rippin‘ jabs to blonde‘s jug in pursuit.

Mid-round scenes – Righetti‘s starting to make Iskra move, steadily taking over mid-ring, as blonde‘s forced to back-pedall! Iskra being a little unsure, bewildered at Righetti‘s surge – she‘s taking some *savage* body shots on the spot, her gloves clutched at temple, allowing ‘Manda to get off in three-shot, four-shot combos until she‘s able to respond, counter. Righetti‘s always staying on the prowl here, prancing left/right on mobile toes – she‘s cautious not to get bogged down in Iskra‘s physicals or stand in front of her darn right hand too long!

Down the stretch, Righetti‘s actually edging a heavin‘, wobblin‘ Iskra‘s butt toward the ropes – redhead‘s stance‘s tight, rotating her sholders, dipping left/right to snap short, *muscular* digs at blonde‘s jug/flank/tummy meat, using shoulder/elbow nudges to hold Iskra in position. Blonde‘s still stronger when girls clinch, though – once she gets her arms under Righetti‘s, she‘s able to bull-push Big Red out of the corner to mid-ring canvas, handling Righetti‘s own beef/power with surprising ease!

Break – Righetti stridin‘ to corner, sittin‘ down with a nod, smiling a trademark crooked grin. “You‘ve turned this around, ‘Manda. Making Iskra slow, stiff, trudging‘s the key to winning this battle – you‘re getting her there, girl!“

R5: Righetti‘s collecting her knuckles together at the chest, wading in, taking blonde girl for a bruisin‘ early – her jab‘s explosive, poking against Iskra‘s mouth/jaw in repeated taps, as blonde‘s reactions go slow & late. Not much back from Iskra against Righetti‘s grueling bob n‘ weave attack – blonde‘s starting to ROCK BACK from the shots, sturdy thighs trembling, head TOSSING off violently! Blonde‘s gettin‘ swatted, pummeled – but those thighs withstand the blasts! Iskra‘s taking it back physical, too– she‘s riding her left hand around Righetti‘s head, pulling redhead‘s face into those meaty, sweaty jugs, then edging her foe ropeward for ref‘s breaks. Righetti protesting Iskra‘s rag-doll clinches, but blonde‘s tacticts mostly just sly/smart, turning the action slow, messy, jugg-y, as the round‘s bogging down further – Iskra‘s mind-blowing physicality‘s still her best bet against a dynamic Righetti!

Second minute – long, rangy distance jabs, Righetti.

Redhead‘s left hand tags Iskra‘s face on repeat, setting up the dip n‘ dig hook to her breadbasket/jug, as Righetti‘s looking to attack n‘ step out before Iskra can tie up. Iskra‘s stance usually stiff, a little rigid here, but suddenly, she‘s on the move! Righetti jabs, Iskra roll-steps right, surprising Amanda – blonde lunges, CRASHES a sweeping right hand to Righetti‘s left ear! Righetti‘s eyes roll back instantly, as head‘s flattened against her shoulder – ‘Manda‘s left leg skids off the canvas, as strong torso goes into a reel!

ISKRA POURS IT IN!

Short, smiting right hand rolls over Righetti‘s left shoulder, landing flush to the mouth – RIGHETTI GOES DOWN ON IMPACT! ‘Manda‘s left hand sails out, her eyes wide in surprise, as she‘s already sprawling onto her back in a majestic big-girl toss – she thuds down hard, as legs skid off the canvas dramatically! Righetti‘s eyelashes flutter in glassy swoon for a moment until body and mind respond, and the champ‘s instincts kick in – she picks up her head off the canvas, starts to scramble onto her side! Ref‘s count: a groaning Righetti‘s on her haunches at “5“, stiffening onto her right knee at “7“, rising onto her trembling legs at “9“, nods hard, adamant into ref‘s eyes – she‘s shabby, but she‘s up!

Iskra rushes back in, pummeling left/rights, left/rights at Righetti‘s breadbasket with all of blonde‘s *beefy* shoulders behind it – Righetti‘s eyes struggle to focus, crossing arms, making herself all tight n‘ small! Iskra being big, effervescent, her meaty wide back glistening as she‘s working the champ over, twitching shots from left to right – Righetti‘s in stupor, but upright/defiant at the bell!

Iskra‘s tired herself, but so giddy, excited during break – one FAT right hand out of nowhere‘s had Righetti on the brink of defeat!

R6: Girls wade back into the action with hardened eyes, pinched mouths, steely resolve, introduce each other to heavy, *strapping* body shots, as big-girl beauties just lean against each other, dippin‘, rippin‘ it in turns – it‘s a constant bump n‘ slug shuffle for leverage/position! Girls try to establish dominance at the apron – lots of stack-ups/reversals, as girls look to grind on top. Late in the first, Iskra‘s getting the better of things – her choo-choo jab‘s pumpin‘, pumpin‘, rocking back Amanda‘s face from short, shrugging blitz contacts. Groans, pedals, grimaces from Righetti – she‘s dipping, rolling, stumbling left/right to find her stance, answer. Iskra explosive, when on like this - the jab‘s got her established, opening ‘Manda up for wide, sloshing hooks to rib/flank, clubbing sidearm right hands to Righetti‘s ear/skull, putting sturdy redhead legs/thighs into little trembles, jolts.

Early second minute – Iskra‘s got that crucial mid-ring ground, circling around a hunched, seemingly exhausted Righetti, pushin‘ her back, steadily pressin‘ forward via the jab/hook. Lawrence‘s coming forward, letting her hands go, driving slick, powerful combinations off the jab/hook – RIGHETTI COUNTERS!

Iskra a-pushin‘ forward, wields a righty hook upside ‘Manda‘s ear/head, misses – redhead hooks-with, catches Iskra‘s chin a beaut! Delayed effect in Iskra‘s strong knees, but there‘s a haze in her eyes, arms outstretched, legs instantly shaky. Righetti short-shrugs a jab to her tits, rolls a straight right to her mouth – Iskra‘s just staring on in confusion! Lawrence‘s driven back in pedals, rollin‘, hoppin‘ - she‘s blinking fast! Righetti stepping out – deploys fat, stomping lefts/rights across Iskra‘s meaty, wide flanks! Iskra‘s strong frame‘s atop the ropes, just layin‘ in there big- girl, hands up, hunching, rolling to the left/right – she‘s trying to cup Righetti‘s head, as ‘Manda pushes in, gets brawny herself. Lots of flat, short, shrugging POUNDS to Iskra‘s prideful jugs – big-Iskra‘s squirmin‘, groanin‘, yellin‘ out in hurt!

Down the stretch – girls meatily wrapped in a clinch, strong arms/shoulders entwined, wrestling for body control, not budging a single inch against each other‘s sturdy frame/torso. Round‘s too close to call, ruled a draw – Amanda‘s and Iskra‘s big-girl legs are tired, hurt, slow. Lots of deep heaves/sighs during the break, as both corner‘s respective advice‘s all about “Get her, girl!“

R7: Girls *inch* to mid-ring, drawing out BIG right hands off sturdy, rigid platform stance, slowly droppin‘/dippin‘ left/right against each other‘s poundin‘, whackin‘ monster shots, as punches get loud/audible, as girls strain, suffer – left haymaker, Righetti!

Girls trading freaking mayhem – Righetti‘s haymaker hits harder first! Iskra‘s struggling, as legs go see-saw, eyes a-blinkin‘, torso a-tinglin‘ - she‘s hurt! Big blonde‘s sliding back in pedals/shifts, as ‘Manda goes to stalk her girl – stiff, shelling jabs/crosses go knock-knock at Iskra‘s mighty jugs, as Righetti‘s shifting weight/position, lowering head/torso to SLAM away to the ribs/waistline! Iskra‘s attempting to dig in n‘ defend – mighty blonde‘s leaning out to left/right, while detonating wide, *freakish* haymakers just past Righetti‘s ears/cheeks! ‘Manda rolls, chops another left-hand beaut on Iskra‘s mouth/jaw, *rocking* blonde‘s head back in stiff, violent, alarming fashion. Iskra – dazed, trying to roll out right/away, cramping/hunching up, crossing her arms. Righetti‘s greedy, pounding away with the left haymaker, stretching it out beyond the blonde‘s guard, catching ALL OF ISKRA‘S CHIN a thunderous knock – blonde‘s head bashed past the top rope, staring loosely, arms low/chin up!

Righetti screams, leans in, clobbers the right hand upside Iskra‘s left ear/temple, switching off big blonde‘s lights – blonde‘s legs give, swooning her onto her knees in dazed lil‘ moments, as limbs only twitch n‘ jerk! Iskra‘s so groggy, loose, still trying to stabilize in defiance, but she‘s just too damn clobbered – blonde rolls onto her back, all tender n‘ tingling, eyeslashes batting, the count passing her by. Righetti raises her arm, quivers in triumph, STILL welterweight champ – she‘s just stopped the biggest girl in town, KO7 Amanda Righetti!

After: “Blonde‘s a handful,“ Amanda laughs, all sweaty and wounded. “Early in the fifth I really thought I had her, you know – she was starting to look vulnerable after I adjusted to her heaviness and started to handle her beef! So kudos to her, she brought that monster right hand, and almost got me, yeah – but this is welter, baby! Gotta be able to take these kind of punches, and I did – and came back to rock her world! Her physicality‘s going to be a HUGE challenge to anyone at welter, so she‘ll definitely stay a title contender for some time – I‘d be curious to see her against the more slender type of models like Hannah or Tahnee, for sure.“
