CELEBRITY BOXING AFTER DARK

Posted by simguy on 7/22/2011, 10:07 am

BEFORE: "Can I still beat Missy?" Eva smiles in response to blunt Tractorpull question in prefight. "I'm sure going to find out! Honestly though, I think I've got a good shot. I think I'm under-rated - and under-ranked: I feel I'm an overlooked top 10 talent who can definitely compete with Missy Peregrym. I'm not getting any younger, so if I'm every going to beat her, it's right now - but yeah: I think I've got a real shot in this one." A dangerous stay-busy fight for Missy - necessary to keep the engine tuned, but she's showing signs of frustration with progress at lightweight. "When I dominated Lilly, and moved up," Missy explains, "I thought I'd fight 6 times in about 4 months - secure the Lightweight belts - and be crunching through defences by now. Obviously that hasn't happened. It's frustrating to see Pallicki on top because nobody in the top 10, as far as I know, really acknowledges her as the best of us. As for Larue - I think she beats 3 or 4 of the top 10 girls - Pallicki among them - so she's definitely not somebody I want to sleep on." Peregrym in white sports bra; royal blue boy-leg trunks with white draw string showing; white gloves; hair loose. Larue in white bikini connected jug and hip by oval turquoise medallions; white gloves; hair loose.

During R1: Missy out southpaw - but it's an attacking southpaw ala Joe Calzaghe, not a sneaky Pernell Whitaker look. Larue orthodox - popping her her left jab into Missy's right hand - Eva's left side fronting against Missy's right. Peregrym busy - hopping in with a chopping left to Eva's breasts; whirling the right hook tight to head; whirling the left - just trying to hack away for touches in bunches. Larue bending at the waist while slide-stepping away, then trying to walk Missy into hooks...it's a more selective, counter-punching approach. Peregrym's work-rate carries the round: neither woman hurt as each sees what the other's got.

R2: Missy with chopping pressure up the middle...Eva pivoting to her left, luring Peregrym forward, then fitting her for straight right hands up the middle. Good stiff strikes scored by Eva - jug and face: Missy pre-empted, then clinched by cagey Larue through 2.

R3: Steady jab from Eva...clockwise rotation...straight right hands up the middle, followed by hooks upside Missy's head: Larue's got Peregrym frowning. Midway through, Missy loops a right hook up top...Eva rolls-with, letting the punch wrap behind her head...she answers a scooping right uppercut to Missy's body and PEREGRYM'S HURT! Missy's face distorted in pain: Larue pitching thump to Peregrym's breadbasket - adds to the harm with robust left/right insurance salvo. Missy clinches wobbly-butt - ref issues first break: Larue hungry-eyed, walking her foe down. Missy stalked around the perimeter as she gets herself together: Eva content to pick away and harass, taking no chances through 3.

R4: Bitter stop-and-go fighting as Missy looks to chop flurries up the middle - keeping her elbows in and whirling punches. Larue taking a half-step back to disrupt Missy's timing, then feeding her the right uppercut to body/left hook up top...both girls ringing it up in spots, then clinching for ref's breaks. Thirsty work - eyes glaring, teeth bared as ref pushes sweaty upper-chests apart...then they're back it, punching hard, tying up brawny.

R5: Steady pressure up the middle pushes Eliza to her left and around the ring: Peregrym walking her girl down now, starting to be the boss. Missy's right jab just a tapper/slapper...she's starting her sequences with a chopped-in left to Eva's top, then whirling her fists with elbow-in delivery for maximum volume. Larue looking to fade-and-counter, but it's no easy thing: Missy's pouring in, bringing serious heat. Down the stretch, Eva gets what she's looking for...she fades back while countering a hook-to-ear over Missy's pawing right; beats Missy to the punch when the Larue right gets inside the Peregrym left, scoring on mouth. Missy's weight forward, a litte sloppy here: Larue shrugs a tidy right uppercut nice n' tight inside, picking Missy's chin up stout and putting her wobbly butt! Peregrym in trouble, showing earmuff as she backs into ropes: Larue steps-to, lets hands go and gives Missy a beating! Crowd roaring as Eva pours on rights and lefts with a sexy little snarl...Peregrym rolling slow in the pocket, trying to keep her hands up as she takes a pasting head-and-shoulders. Bell: Hungry-hungry Larue bodied off by ref; Missy blinking in wonder, cut inside her lip and looking frazzled through 5.

R6: Larue stole the last round out from under Missy: now she comes out and dominates Peregrym to take the sixth. Peregrym frowning, obviously confused and frustrated: Larue leads with a double-jab while drifting to her left, then slap-chopping the right to Missy's mouth as Peregrym's turning. Larue pivoting clockwise around that planted lead (left) leg...nice n' spicy hear - whacking Missy in the waist right/left when Peregrym covers up earmuff; jabbing Missy's jugs or guard while turning her; firing straight right hands up the middle to spank Missy's pretty face. Peregrym's natural defensive motion is to bob her torso to her left: Eva begins hacking left hooks down in behind Missy's right elbow to take advantage of the tendency. Bell: Missy disheveled, scuffed up...Eva's on top through 6.

R7: Missy switching orthodox, then back to southpaw as she moves to her left or right, giving Larue a boxing look outside. Larue cautious against Missy's new front - stooping to jab tummy; stepping in close to club Missy's ears as Peregrym bends forward to crowd. Larue carries most of the round, but one miscue midway through costs her the points...she backs into ropes with hands up and wide...Missy steps-with; fires hook/right hand to SPANK Eva's head back over top rope, then it's all Missy for a few moments. Withering fire of hooks and uppercuts rakes Eva as she's bobbing in the pocket...she's put wobbly butt, forced to clinch. It's Missy's only spot in the whole round, but it has Larue badly shaken.

R8: Missy jabbing Eva to ropes, then sustaining pressure upon her: Peregrym jacking up the work-rate, pouring on the volume as forty-something Larue finally starts to look her age. Eva: hands up, elbows in, face worried...she'll bend forward at the waist, or lay back into ropes, just trying to block and roll. Missy: southpaw stance - poking and pawing her right jab at Eva's defences, then laying in MONSTER-STRONG lefts, just trying to bash-through Larue's guard. Missy not smothering herself - always resetting behind the jab to give herself space...she's picking Eva apart with precision power here, feeding her withering left hands body or head. Heavy punches begin to penetrate late - rocking Larue's head back and loosening up her stance: cagey veteran able to clinch her way to safety, but she's falling off the pace through 8.

R9: Eva Larue digs down, throws in her last reserves, outworking Missy P as Peregrum closes shoulder to shoulder to fight. Girls just rubbing-and-slugging in a phone booth - each using her head and rolling shoulders/chickenwing elbows to nudge apart opposing defences. Eva cute on the inside, finding Missy with a short-jerk right uppercut that picks Peregrym up sleepy: Missy guzzling the punch, looking frazzled for just a heartbeat as Eva hooks-gut for insurance. Peregrym outfoxed, outworked, but happy to be inside with Eva, coaxing the older woman to sustain maximum effort bell to bell. Upon separation, Eva's got the points, but she's totally spent - face drained, mouth open, eyes hollow through 9.

R10: Missy marches on Eva: Larue's gassed, can't keep Peregrym off her. Ropes - Missy atop Eva...Peregrym leaning in, pitting her arms and shoulders against Eva's to wrestle apart older woman's guard...then Missy's clippin' and a-cloutin', just laying on consistent thump. Eva exhausted - getting used up by all the brawny wrestling, then grunting as her body absorbs shock, or her jawline takes a clout. Nothing fancy - it's Missy putting a tummy on Eva, grinding on her, slowly extinguishing her...ref lets it go because Larue's doing a fair amount of defensive obstruction, if very little punching in receipt. Bell: ref pulls Missy off...she's the UD10 close winner.

AFter: Missy shiny with the healthy sweat-glow of victory, but she's found a new respect for Eva Larue. "If I'm fighting even half as well as Eva is when I'm her age, I'll consider myself special," Missy acknowledges. "Breaking her down is no easy thing - in fact, I didn't really feel any give in her game until the last three rounds: she was nip and tuck with me right up till then. But I'm past her now and there's really only two fights I want: Adrianne Pallicki for all the marbles, and if I can't get her, then I want Jessica Biel. With Pallicki, I can win a title; with Jessica, I can take that 'best pound for pound lightweight' status from her. That's super important for me: I want to finish up the year as the lightweight champ, and I want recognition as the best pound for pound fighter in boxing. Those are high goals, I know, but I feel I need to set 'em high to challenge myself...otherwise it's just me beating up a lot of ham-and-eggers to make myself feel good."
