Results: Lookout!, Writing: Bonzo

Before: Meg Bellamy‘s a classy British newcomer, currently fresh off the biggest role of her career as a young Kate Middleton in season six of “The Crown“. She‘s so far unmanaged, but her handlers have wisely circulated short, impressive, no-context reels of a broad-shouldered Meg treating girls all hard and rough on the ropes. She‘s also spreading pundit quotes about her matching a “young Bridget Regan‘s brawn“ and posing “British welter‘s biggest hope since Michelle Ryan“. Meg‘s said to have jumped into giddy, excited jumps of joy at the prospect of a high profile debut against the most legendary of American welters, Amanda “Big Rigs“ Righetti herself:

“Oh, I know Amanda‘s got miles of experience on me,“ Meg explains, proving an excited-yet-composed ingenue in her pre-fight interview. “But you wouldn‘t believe the number of girls who positively QUIT on me during sparring sessions – they just couldn‘t take it any more and I was only takin‘ it easy on them! My coaches have said my power‘s, like, totally unprecedented! Can Amanda still match that kind of energy at 40? I don‘t know, guys, I really don‘t! I‘m gettin‘ all itchy now – I just want to get into the ring and try to out-sturdy Amanda!“

“I know the feeling,“ Amanda nods. “I was in my mid-twenties, when I turned the welter world upside down. Clashing mitts with a legend like Ali Landry or Gena Nolin and feeling like you really OWN these legends in the ring, make them feel old and slow, slowly beat them helpless with your youthful energy – oh, you just can‘t beat that feeling! I certainly see that lil‘ sparkle in Meg‘s eyes, I do – she thinks she‘s ready to do that to me! But trust me: I wouldn‘t show up for a fight if girls like Meg had an *ounce* of a shot at actually doin‘ that to me! I look into Meg‘s eyes and I can see she‘s never been knocked out – well, I guess it‘s better to find out the hard truth about boxing early!“

Fight: R1: Bellamy‘s stance that of a strong, self-assured boxer – her legs are set wide apart, as she‘s hopping into her girl, left shoulder ahead, right tucked at chin, left loose at chest. She‘s being frisky and a little risky early – she‘s lookin‘ to fire quick, slick jabs to Amanda‘s face, establish herself in the ring! Righetti ain‘t having none of it – edges a fast double jab upside Meg‘s raised right, hitting Bellamy hard on the hairline. Meg a-blinkin‘ – Righetti‘s hook‘s sent STOUT into her open jaw. Meg‘s arms raised both now – left, right uppercuts get dragged hard across brunette‘s guard, rockin‘ her arms/biceps loose n‘ wiggly, courtesy of the power. Righetti dips – steps a mighty left into Meg‘s toned hip/flank, causes hectic foot shuffles, as Meg‘s trying to keep the stance/balance. Meg frisks a jab long, overreaches – ‘Manda step-rolls it calm n‘ cute, scrubs Meg‘s jaw, again. A minute in, Meg‘s thighs are all a-wobble – hasn‘t touched an inch of Righetti‘s face yet as she had so cleverly conceived on the blackboard! Bellamy properly rebuked by Amanda‘s classy jab: rookie face‘s a frown, but she takes the sane road out – pivot, retreat!

Minutes two, three– we see Righetti stepping hard-n‘-easy into her poke, walking a girl down the way‘s she done it a million times. Some of the zest gone from Bellamy‘s wide, pretty eyes, but she‘ll call it a strategic back pedal nonetheless – she‘s betrayed just a little by those frenzied hops n‘ sidesteps! Jab‘s long n‘ hard – just no chance for a rocked n‘ belted Meg to switch into counters! You gotta like Meg‘s leggy mood here – yes, she‘s walked down/kept in check, but won‘t get bullied on the spot by redhead foe, shows a good, alert head bob, won‘t just stand/walk into flak.

Down the stretch – Righetti plants that left leg strongly, pops the hips, gets it tucked-in smug across Meg‘s untested paunch! Meg just SICK about the shot, tossed around wildly, holds back her tears at the bell, turns away fast so Righetti won‘t see her teary blinks … welcome to the FCBA, Big Red style!

R2: Meg well-coached/perked up in between the rounds: sporty rookie‘s back in solid spirits, shows a leggy, upbeat step early in the second. Bellamy will accept now she can‘t just trade ‘em hard jabs on Righetti‘s terms, steal canvas from her legendary foe – Meg gets big n‘ beefy instead, taking Amanda under her arms/shoulders, rasslin‘ with her against the cables! Righetti surprised, even smiling a tad at Meg‘s brazen push-n‘-shove – she‘s looking to break free/retaliate, but Meg‘s bull-strong, not easily reversin‘ or givin‘ up her position. Two hot n‘ strong girls twist their  respective arms up-n‘-down into these back-n‘-forth wiggles – strong buttocks get strained, as sturdy upper bodies stiffen/push back. Ref likes it, too – lets the girls squirm, grunt, reverse for position, as they please! Amanda‘s eyes reach a narrow slit, her mouth pinched – Meg proves just as sturdy/robust as her in these fiery ropeside tussles!

From mid of round – Bellamy‘s slowly earning Righetti‘s respect!

She‘s thick n‘ strong in the clinch, won‘t let Rigs free until the ref‘s stepped in for a break – short, rhythmic jab/hooks reach Amanda‘s wide chest with plenty of bash/power once the girls separate, denying her immediate control of range. Meg will parry some of Righetti‘s poke now – land the odd short counter up redhead‘s guard/ear!

Down the stretch – girls take a circle, keep the lefts outstretched for a jab‘s measure. Righetti‘s only pawing hers, jostles Meg‘s chest back a step – Meg reacts fast, ROCKETS that sturdy right on top Amanda‘s jab, fielding Righetti a strong lil‘ thwack on the jaw – ‘Manda‘s pretty smug about the shot‘s impact, but yeah, there *is* the slightest of head recoils, as her thighs take a short, but effective wobble! Meg‘s just in a wide beam of a grin from there, her steps all sexy strut at the bell – one slick right hand on target feels like a fight-ending haymaker to this young rookie!

R3: Meg shows she‘s worked on a jab in the gym – rookie puts together her best minute of boxing yet!

Bellamy‘s stance is all out solid – early jab‘s fast n‘ fierce. Meg walkin‘ forward now, throwin‘ the ample power of her hips/shoulder into these sticky, dogged jabs – she‘s clearly attempting to lure/batter Righetti into the clutches of her jab-n‘-grab! Righetti takes a right hand here n‘ there, as rookie Brit pours in the right hook/cross off the jab – Meg‘s VERY motivated about seekin‘ redhead chin. ‘Manda stunted a bit, as Meg‘s the no-holdin‘-back aggressor – short right hands ring out against Righetti‘s ear/skull, followed by the brawny lil‘ cuddle around the hips/under the arms as Bellamy pushes for Amanda‘s butt to hit rope. Meg‘s work‘s certainly visually impressive – she‘s leanin‘ down, makin‘ redhead take weight, lookin‘ big against a big girl.

Second, third minute – Righetti gets tougher with the rookie, rightly treats Meg as a proper threat.

Amanda can do the jab-n‘-grab, too: she slides back, Meg duly follows – Righetti shifts the jab up Meg‘s head/hair, has her girl blinkin‘, as poke‘s suddenly harder than anticipated. Righetti dips tightly, comes back up bashin‘ the girl‘s skull – short, rigid right hand up the ear/side‘s got Meg stumblin‘ glassy-eyed into Amanda‘s brawny clinch. Push-offs, Righetti – sturdy lil‘ shoves to the chest/shoulder to make Meg know who she‘s dealin‘-with. It‘ll probably stay Meg‘s round, but Righetti‘s cruel, pulverizing one-two/brawny clinch routine‘s got Bellamy steppin‘ wobbly, starin‘ into the shots down the stretch – rookie‘s got a lot of spunky ideas, can‘t sustain her good moments against a slick Righetti!

R4: Righetti with a sudden dose of brutality against Meg‘s brash stance – long jab stoops to Meg‘s firm tummy, uh-oh. Hook‘s prompted in a fierce duo (left, right), so smooth n‘ supple Meg never sees it coming – flies up her eye/hairline. Amanda gets into Meg‘s ribs with no mercy, too – it‘s a wide, bashing shot, rockin‘ up that flat, toned meat. Bellamy‘s clearly overwhelmed, but she still tries her left and right uppercuts, triggers ‘em in that nice, curt slap-bang of motion – Righetti leans-in, switches for the comeback hook! Meg‘s arms still wide, not getting her guard back up time, as her big shots fly past ‘Manda‘s head – oh, how Meg‘s chin‘s GOBBLED! It‘s a wild, hazy back pedal, Bellamy – sturdy stance‘s thrown all out of kilter, her pretty eyes blinking rapidly in survival mode!

Minutes two, three: Righetti‘s so methodical – she‘s starting to wick away the rookie‘s resistance, stroke by stroke!

Meg can‘t handle Righetti‘s power shot into the tummy/ribs – no sparring partner could prepare Bellamy for reality! Amanda knows – she deliberaty steps TWO long, booming right hands into that tender lil‘ spot of flesh, hittin‘ flat, whack, palms-down! Meg splashed, doubles forward in a rickety way – her pretty eyes now a mug of hurt! You gotta give Meg some credit, though – lesser girls would have surely taken a knee by now, to steal a moment of ease! Meg‘s a shaken beauty in distress – she‘s constantly rollin‘, dippin‘, steppin‘ out, as young, energetic legs meet their match! Righetti‘s smooth n‘ patient, taking her time to lock Meg‘s back on the ropes, but once she‘s there, she won‘t let her get out again – ‘Manda‘s shoulders calmly roll/twitch, CLOBBERING Bellamy into glassy-eyed sway down the stretch!

The siege‘s too late to shut out Meg‘s lights for good … rookie limps n‘ slinks her way to thecorner, bites back her bitter sobs/tears, won‘t hear a word from her corner about throwing in the towel …  “I need to fight through to the end, coach!“ … girl‘s a tough cookie!

R5: Meg trying to grin away fate early in the fifth – she‘s *still* hopeful, confident! Righetti‘s jabs so straight, ramrod – they keep Bellamy fixed to the perimeters, spread her out with nasty jug push-n‘-shove! Meg‘s guard high/brawny, rockin‘ loosely at the knees – she‘s punch-weary! Righetti‘s left – it‘s a short uppercut for the breadbasket. Righetti‘s right – oh, it‘s head-swivelin‘ sneak of a cross! Meg slugged onto her heels, eyes a-blinking – she‘s taking stampin‘, stompin‘ lil‘ backward baby steps! Righetti edges in – shrugs it short/tight to Meg‘s right breast. A terrible jug shot – oh, Meg can‘t soak it up any more! Bellamy‘s eyes get moist, as she‘s cranked/skewed on the spot – she‘s draped softly across the ropes, crosses arms at chest, bobs weakly back n‘ forth! ‘Manda snarls, jump-steps the jab to the tits again, looks a badass sort of giddy, braid a-bouncing across her wide shoulders – RIGHT HAND SLOP!

Huge freakin‘ head swivel, Meg Bellamy, as Amanda‘s right cross crashes home upside her eyebrows/forehead – Meg‘s legs stay rooted, as her head/upper body‘s unleashed! And it‘s a heartbreaking sideway topple to the canvas, as Meg spreads out fast n‘ hard – she‘s all stiff on her back parallely to ropes, her long legs outstretched, as dazed brows frown in wonder, lips murmuring lil‘ protests. Amanda cooly steps away from the rubble – KO5 Amanda Righetti!

After: Righetti‘s chatty, and a little patronizing, after her knockout‘s a rude welcome into the FCBA for tuff Meg Bellamy‘s debut – she makes sure her young foe‘s all right, helping her up, patting her on the back, sharing words of encouragement. “You gotta make it through these losses, I‘m sorry, girl,“ Amanda says. “This chick is big and bad – mark my words! She was no threat to me … how could she? But she will be a threat to other welters, soon!“
