BEFORE: Prestige bout - both girls recognizing greatness in the other, and wanting to test it. "Some girls you just look at, and your body goes into compete mode," Garner explains in prefight. "That's how it is for me with Amanda. Her size, her strength, her athleticism - I mean - it's not just boxing: I feel like I want to line up against her in a football game and see if I can blow her off the line. I want to race against her; throw shotputs - anything. Just to see." Righetti nodding in agreement throughout. "Jennifer was the best of her generation," Amanda assesses, "and I want to leave my mark there. Has she lost a step? I don't know about that...if she has, she's gained in strength and savvy, so I don't think she's missing much. It's just a chance for me to add one of the truly great names to my resume: I can't pass this up!" Righetti in baby blue cotton sport-cut top with thin straps; purple bikini bottoms; white gloves; long battle braid. Jen in black cotton tankini with spaghetti straps; white gloves; hair tied back off the temples, long down the back, with battle-bangs. VENUE SPECS: Jenny O'Dell promotion continues her association with the Mirage in Vegas - JOD fast becoming the best known and most respected of the independent promoters.
During R1: Jen scowling, pursing lips: she's doubling the jab, driving to Amanda's midsection, coming over the top righty. Righetti off her stance, shrugging in left uppercuts as Jen comes forward: Garner swamping the D, pushing Amanda backward. Ropes: Garner fighting off Amanda's chest - putting punches together breadbasket and ribs: Jen's outworking Amanda here. Righetti grimacing, pulling down on Jen's head, then trying to uppercut her off...spirited stuff as Garner fights to stay in close. Bruising two way punishment once battle lines drawn: Righetti slugging short n' brawny off ropes: Jen laying siege, clobbering away to biceps/ribs/waist, then clubbing skull in spots.
R2: Jen jabbing to body, piling into Amanda: Righetti's moving backward at the open. Toe-to-toe fighting along the apron - Jen atop Amanda, hairline scrubbing Righetti's face, butting her clavicle. Chugging assault, Jen Garner: head down, shoulders rotating, pumping left/rights into abs/ribs. Righetti stumbling to her right along ropes: Jen finds her via palm-down hook to chops, brushing Amanda back. RIGHT HAND JEN GARNER! Jen leaning in, getting it stubby to chin: snapping head-swivel bounces Amanda off ropes and PUTS HER DOWN! Righetti on all fours...Jen seething, glaring down at fallen prey - ref bodies Garner back as Amanda rallies. Off the deck, Righetti's alert, but buzzed: Jen piles back into chest, bodying Righetti to ropes with impressive leg drive. Garner consolidating - pushing on Amanda, writhing arms in under Amanda's to pull apart guard; chopping/swatting/pumping the body to set up the head. All Jen G: at the bell, Amanda's sitting in ropes with cramped look on her face - right hand pulling down Jen's head...Righetti just grumpily absorbing body-blows as Jen's chuggin' busy.
R3: Righetti frowning, jabbing, sidesteppin' left. Garner jabbing body, looping overhand rights, but Amanda makes good reads, side-slips to her left, digs muscular counter left hook to Garner's ribs. Righetti with initiative - working the body with crisp left/right combos: nice tight bite on these, turning over the fists palm-down to chop through Garner's ribs. Savage body licks adding up: Garner grimacing, slowing. Midway through, Righetti cleaves Jen a short right hand to chin, then fetches her a pair of shoving left uppercuts to body, cramping JG up. Shove in the shoulders pushes Jen off; right cross braces her chin; left uppercut snap-snatches at tummy; left hook claps right ear, swatting Jen a quarter turn to her left; sidearm swinging right takes Jen in right cheek and DOWN GOES GARNER! Bludgeoning sequence puts Garner on her back: her turn to rally as Amanda strides past, forcing hard eye contact. Knockdown debt paid in full: Amanda closes out the round atop Jen at ropes, punishing her thick n' systematic head/shoulders/pecs/biceps.
R4: BOOMING Amanda right hand catches Jen short n' drifting to chin: Garner's head switching back and forth, buttocks shuddering...she keeps her feet, but she's badly loosened, easily gathered up and walked to ropes by Amanda. Righetti strong-shoving her girl into position, then shoveling-on: thick, bruising shellack applied to Jen's brawny torso. Garner stooping forward in peek-a-boo: beefy spank sounding out from either flank as Righetti's swinging away big-girl. Shove in the shoulders braces Jen upright: Amanda rhythmically going to the biceps/pecs, turning over flat-knuckle wallop. Jen just sick about the beating, but having no luck getting off the ropes: she covers up/leans back into ropes/stoops forward - anything she can do to roll the incoming. Latter half the round, Jen willing herself back into it: she's laying in head-and-shoulders with Amanda, answering her punch for punch. Crowd roaring as brawny beauties just crowd each other, fit succulent left hands to willing tummies; trade right uppercuts/left hooks up top in short-shrugging exchanges. BREAK: busted-up Jen implored by trainer: "Baby, you can't let this girl be on top at the ropes, you hear? You can't allow that."
R5: Stiff Righetti jab starting to penetrate: Jen's head knocking back; Jen's face sleepy from poke. Ropes: Amanda shelling Jen to apron, bodying up to pancake her...Righetti starting to lay the beef to Jen, making her take weight. Garner grimacing...she'll wedge left hand in under Amanda's right, then turrrrn her into ropes, pushing Righetti down, competing for top position. Amanda grinding away in similar fashion - twisting and pulling at Jen, stacking her, then beating upon her whenever practical. Muscular legs, full backsides straining, jostling: every inch of both bodies being mustered for the struggle. Time and again, Jen reverses only to see Righetti muscle her way back on top and score punches: Garner slowly being bludgeoned into compliance. Down the stretch, women trading hooks...Jen chops a beaut off the ropes, catching Amanda's chin as Righetti's left sails over top. THERE GO RIGHETTI'S LEGS! Delayed effect hits Amanda's knees...she stumbles away with how-could-you eyes: Jennifer pounces! Garner snarling, stepping into Amanda via short-chopping right to left ear, hacking Righetti into ropes. Amanda shows earmuff: left uppercut parts her mitts, blowing her back over top rope as crowd squeals in alarm. Chopping right pounds face; chopping left: Amanda's loose, weak, and Jen's pouring through! Garner brawny, jamming palm-down left/rights through the middle: Amanda bashed back against ropes, guard limp, eyes blinking, lips parted. Bell: Jen's still scoring...Righetti out on her feet...ref pulling seething Garner off. Jen steals a Righetti round, surges into the lead through 5!
Righetti/Garner conc.

R6: First minute: Garner atop Righetti ropeside - crowding her, bouncing leather off meat, working her over. Second minute: Righetti pumping the jab, spreading Jen out, moving the fight to midring; Jen can't penetrate, starts gobbling poke. Final minute: Righetti's jab starting to shell Jen - pounding at her shoulders/pecs, slamming into forehead. Amanda able to step in off the jab, palm up, shove Jen in her shoulders, walk her down. Amanda stepping-to, fitting a short, jagged left uppercut to Jen's sternum: breathy sigh of hurt from Garner as Amanda claims body. Clean up late - Righetti on Garner: Amanda fighting just to the right of Garner's center line with Jen's back to ropes...'Manda chopping overhand hooks up top, shoving underhand or sidearm rights thick to paunch underneath to salt away points.
R7: Amanda's long welterweight jab proving decisive: slowing the action; punishing Jen; dictating terms; granting Amanda initiative. Righetti slow-turning clockwise around her poke, just lumping Jen up methodical, then stepping in to shove her shoulders. Once Jen's tottering backward - Amanda walks her down - looking for cruel right uppercuts to midsection, followed by overhand hooks up top. Righetti fighting off Jen's right shoulder whenever possible, getting angles for the low right/high left routine. Garner growing sullen from punishment, output dropping - strong legs bracing her at ropes during sustained Righetti barrages.
R8: Jen facing into jabs...looking drowsy, pasted. Step, pivot, poke from Righetti: redhead nice n' tall, hands relaxed, elbows in - just picking her spots. Jen turning, mounting rushes, but she's getting picked up on the way in, then shoved back out by her shoulders. Righetti patient - jabbing Jen into compliance, then imposing will: walking her down, beating her body, driving her to ropes, then cleaning up big-girl. Amanda keeping hands-free - using palm-shoves to keep Jen ropebound, cramming brute right hands to paunch, then pulling the palm-down hooks across with weight on Amanda's right leg. Bell: Jen's eyes bleak, face puffy and sore; Righetti scuffed up, but fresh, eyes bright, arms humming from pouring on the hurt.
R9: Jen shabby with punishment, but still big-girl strong: sturdy legs, backside keeping her upright as Amanda's operating. No-frills Righetti getting it done old-school: carpet-bombing jabs pounding prepared defences, knocking at pate and pecs, softening Jen up for the follow-on assault. Righetti taking Garner to ropes, setting up just to the right of Jen's center line, feeding her rights to paunch, hooks up top - Righetti's weight anchored on her right leg. Jen groggy when smote - Righetti's fists spanking off fleshy shoulder/chest/lats as Amanda reduces her foe, then Jen's head sent a-jerking whenever Amanda goes skull. Systematic, brutal pace: the kind of thing we've seen Jennifer Garner do countless times to other women over the length of her career. Bell: Jen open-mouthed, eyes beaten to slits, but legs still holding firm; Righetti frankly amazed at Jen's monster durability through 9.
R10: Trade in right hands midring goes Jen's way: Righetti backs off; Jen walks her down. Trade in right hands/left hooks goes Jen's way: again she advances as Righetti's forced to retreat. Amanda moving to her right, eats a hook on her mouth: follow-on stubby right turns Amanda's chin aside, coaxes her to ropes. Jen burrowing in - head thrust in between Amanda's raised mitts: Garner pumpin' tummy, shoulders chugging. Righetti grimacing, shocked to be taking: she dips left shoulder, rips left uppercuts in reprisal. Jen staying in position, baring teeth as she chugs left/right/left/right/left/right to gut, then roars up top via palm-down hook: crowd squealing as Amanda covers up desperately, rolling with the incoming. Jen all-in: fat right hand takes Amanda to flank out wide; scraping left uppercut/forearm across the neck pushes Amanda upright - follow on right hand bashes her face aside. Garner bracing with chickenwing left elbow against Amanda's chest, then snap-hooking the liver off the push: Garner buffetting Amanda's ears as Righetti swoons forward in earmuff. Heroic last ditch effort, Jen G: Garner proves a warrior, staying atop Amanda, beating her relentlessly as Righetti's legs prove their mettle. Bell: Garner lands insurance, then falls into exhausted hug of acknowledgement as fighters congratulate each other. Comes back close UD10 Amanda Righetti.
After: No bitter aftermath here: fighters linger together, chatting about the fight as ring fills with usual suspects. "She gave me all I wanted," a spent Amanda Righetti admits in postfight. "She's bull-strong - as strong as any welterweight because of her legs. I rarely get tired in fights, but I was a little gassed at the end just because of Jen's pressure: she sure doesn't fight like an old broad!" Garner equally complimentary in her postfight comments: "She's the best right now. I got off to a great start, but I guess I should have finished her, because she ate me up over the second half! My hat's off to her: I'm an Amanda Righetti fan, and who knows - maybe we can do it again sometime. I don't think I embarrassed myself at all tonight: a few extra punches and this could have gone my way." |
