CONAN Movie Premiere Bout

Posted by Simguy & Archer on 8/21/2011, 6:07 pm

(Simguy e-mailed this story to me for posting. He added that if all goes well he will be back with us in mid-September. Miss you, Sim!)

Before: Stay busy fight for top-ranked Rachel Nichols...but also premiere night promo fight for the debut of CONAN. "What better movie to promote with a fight, right?" Rachel gushes for media in prefight. "Cobie's tough, tall, has good skills...she'll test me in ways I need to be tested, but I'm expecting to do very well against her. Can't take anyone lightly, but I think once I lock in, you'll see me distance myself from her." Cobie looking to spoil Rachel's opening-night, and keeping a close eye on her own duties for up-and-coming Avengers. "Who knows, we might be doing this again when Avengers comes out," Cobie shrugs, "and if so, I want her to be heading into that fight with a big old 'L" against Cobie Smulders. I feel I've been kinda overlooked: Rachel doesn't offer anything in the ring that I don't offer...she just might be surprised how tough it is to tune up on me!" Rachel in black lace push up; leopard print bikini bottoms twist tied at the sides; small black gloves; Red Conan hair tied back off her face. Cobie in scarlet bra and sturdy bikini bottoms; small black gloves; black hair long, loose. No respect from Smulders during staredown: she pounds her gloves down atop Rachels when ref asks fighters to touch 'em up. Rachel? Scowling.

During R1: Brisk step and poke - girls rotating clockwise around sticky, tart left jabs. Bit of a face-spanking for Rachel early as Cobie outboxes her: Nichols finally able to come forward in last minute, spooking Smulders out of her stance via strong overhand rights/rangy hooks in concert.

R2: Same classy approach - girls circling clockwise midring, working behind stiff left jabs, keeping right hands at cheeks while workings. Rache working off the jab more effectively - gouging Cobie tuff hooks to sternum; doubling up that hook in close to chip the chin. Outside, Cobie's able to strafe Rachel dangerous-looking right hands, but inside, Nichols able to bat her fists against Cobie's ribs, backing her up. Down the stretch, digging Nichols hooks to body graduate to ringing hooks to chin, capped by a rangy right cross to chin: Cobie stepping in fence post holes, looking alarmed, groggy at the bell. Rachel: small smile, dancing blue eyes as she makes a point of noticing Cobie's wobbly-butt gait.

R3: Cobie recovers herself nicely: now SHE'S coming in off the jab to work. Smulders digging rigid left hooks/uppercuts to the Nichols sternum: Rache grimacing, forced to cover up earmuff. Leads to clouting sessions from Cobie as brunette stands in front of her redhead, beating her about head/shoulders, then fitting her for chippy little right uppercuts between the mitts in close. Down the stretch, Rachel forced to bare her teeth and slug off the ropes: Cobie really baring down, spearing straight hands down into Rachel's midsection, then straightening up into ringing hooks in a wild, brawling finish. Bell: Cobie's still raking away on Rachel - ref has to push snarling beauties apart.
R4: Less and less boxing outside - girls getting comfy with each other, moving in to fight hard at closer-quarters midring. Heads inclined towards each other, almost touching; hands pawing at opposing forearms before clouting and cuffing. Both girls using the left shoulder to manage each other's chests - bumping and steering to set up hooks/right hands. Long, lean girls loose and relaxed in the cauldron - both keeping elbows in/hands up as they bob gently at the waist: both chopping diligently at one another's waists/hips in orderly turns. Down the stretch, Cobie separates herself with a diligent rooting-out of Rachel's jugs...brunette getting in there via short right uppercuts/clip-across left hooks to leave Nichols breathless, smarting at bell. Glaring eye contact Cobie brown on Rachel blue...Smulders not backing down from top 10 talent through 4 even heats.

R5: Cobie reaching in left hand to paw at Rachel's right inner-elbow...clears the way for spearing straight right hands to Rachel's gut! Nichols groaning, giving ground...she's hurt! Cobie atop Rachel in first minute at ropes - working redhead over via stroking, rhythmic lefts and rights...Nichols in earmuff, taking a pasting about her flanks and waist, protecting her face. Cobie leaning in with left forearm to brace Rache ropeside, then working hard: scouring right uppercuts act as a can-opener, scoring between Rachel's mitts, popping her head up where swiping hooks can claim her. NICHOLS IN SWOON! Second minute a bad one for Rache as she slides ragged to her right, eyes blinking and forlorn, back sweaty against ropes. Cobie snarling, at her with vicious, chopping right hands to waist and left ear; digging left uppercuts to sternum and lathering left hooks head and body. Poor Rache just trying to keep it together, but Cobie's pulling her wrists down, punching her face in close...it's all too much! Nichols crying out from lathering beat down at 2 minute mark, dropping to all fours...she'll beat the count weepy and dig in, but a follow up lather soon has her on bended knee again at the bell! Cobie: seething - nostrils flaring - ref has to push her back as Rachel pulls herself up the ropes in tatters!

R6: Rachel hunkers down, walks Cobie's pale tummy into a digging right hand, then redhead beats brunette to hooks up top. Cobie blinking from the ringing chin-check, SHE'S wobbly butt and Rachel's storming forward! Vicious, scouring payback along ropes...poor Cobie forming wretched earmuff...Rachel hard-hearted, leaning forward and laying on the shellack. Rache keeping elbows in to her body, getting her legs, hips and back into her punches: Smulders cowering as small mitts sound out "PIK!" "PAK!" "PEK!" against her wiry frame. Rache just pouring it on late - pushing her left forearm against Cobie's guard to brace, then lashing the right wide, in behind Cobie's left elbow, hacking the fist in palm-down atop Smulders' left hip. Punches so vicious, Sarah Carter's up out of her seat hooting and whistling...and she's not normally known to be a huge Rachel Nichols booster.

R7: Cobie: drained, ashen faced, determined. Rachel: drained, disheveled, determined. Rachel paws the left; chops the right to Cobie-chin; Smulders hoists right uppercut to Rachel's breasts; doubles it in. Rachel hooks Cobie's mouth, then her lats - keeping left elbow in as she's clouting away off the right plant-leg. Cobie with the right cross, but it's a little wide: Rache beats her to the punch via tidy, clipping right uppercut to chin and DOWN GOES COBIE! Smulders picked up hard, then dropped to all fours: she's a sputtering mess, trembling on her knees as Rachel stalks hands-on-hips to neutral corner. Cobie beats the count, laying her back against ropes as she assures ref she's good: ON COMES RACHEL NICHOLS! Rachel slow to anger, but she's all about finishing Cobie Smulders now...redhead heaps on one her most hellish beatdowns as poor Cobie forms up face-in-gloves. Takes 30 seconds of sustained pounding on flanks and midsection to loosen Cobie up in the pocket: right uppercut finally punches her face up off her gloves and she's spellbound! Cobie laying against ropes - lips parted - eyes half closed - hands low...RACHEL CLEANS UP! Rachel slopping away - elbows in close as she tips side to side, lashing on lefts and rights, beating Cobie about her face and COBIE GOES DOWN! Smulders wilting to all fours under horrific pressure: Rachel all chest heaving, eyes blazing as ref pushes her back. COBIE BEATS THE COUNT! She's crying and swaying on the spot, but Cobie Smulders makes it to the bell!

R8: Rachel mouthbreathing, hands at her waist...she's punched herself out! Cobie walking on her heels, all busted up and hurt, but pressing the pace...she's stalking Rachel as redhead tries to trade canvas for time. Cobie with dukes up at her brows...she's chopping out the jab from there, punching Rachel on her mouth, driving her to ropes. Rachel frowning, trying to steady herself: she's in wide, flat-footed stance, trying to catch Cobie right uppercuts or left hooks from the waist. Cobie cautious - still desperately hurt herself - but assuming top position: she's jabbing Rachel groggy - just touchin' her stiff, then placing stiff right hands straight down into midsection; straight across into jugs; chopped short to chin as Cobie leans in close. RACHEL GOES WOBBLY BUTT! Rache swooning, blinking sleepily - often laying back against ropes with hands low, trying to roll-torso to slip the incoming. Cobie diligent, effective - occasionally whirling both hands to Rachel's hips/waist, chopping at her with palm-down delivery. Bell: Rachel lolling forward, taking punches, seemingly out of it - ref pulls snarling Cobie off a stubborn redhead who just won't go down!

R9: COBIE'S punched out...RACHEL'S exhausted...battered beauties circle warily midring. Rachel: right hand at chest, stacked atop left. Cobie - similar hand arrangement to begin - then forming groggy earmuff as she leans forward - then back to the loose stack. Rachel leaning forward (Cobie shows earmuff in response); Rache cuffs left hook to creamy waist; doubles it up top to Cobie's right ear. Rache brings the hands back to the loose stack, looking Cobie over: Smulders bobbing in her earmuff, not punching. Rachel jabs the guard; cuffs hook to paunch; tilts torso-right and hoists a cruel right uppercut to Cobie's midsection, sending a tremor down Smulders' legs. That's the way of it - Rachel too battle-worn to mount sustained aggression, but she's at Cobie with touches in sequence, turning her, wearing her down. Cobie staying covered up, turning to stay square to Rachel, sponging up a thick, patient beating in ribs/tummy as redhead has her way.

R10: Groggy vixens close, lay in, pull and paw at one another's arms, then punch like there's no tomorrow. Heartbreaking to watch as both girls just want to lie down: they're gutting each other via pumping tummy punches, then coming up top, chopping and clouting. Rachel sleepy - eyes often fluttering shut as she lays in mouth-on-shoulder; Cobie whining, reaching to tie up when Rachel digs to tummy. Girls stumbling around in one another's arms, but touch of offending tummy or jug enough to galvanize fresh punches from the lock up - keeping ref from interfering. Stumble-bum slugging at it's most agonizing...neither girl with the energy to halt the other at this point; both girls too filled with mindless hate to stop trying. Bell: Rachel's got Cobie up against the ropes, pushing her shoulders to jostle her - ref steps in as redhead's about to clout a helpless, staring brunette a close-in right hand. Comes back UD10 Rachel Nichols in bruising fashion.

After: Rachel gets it done on opening night...but what a battle. "That's gotta be the best Cobie Smulders anyone's ever seen," Rachel breathes in postfight - beautiful face all scuffed and puffy from battle. "I started slow, and she took advantage: she was super well prepared for me, and had me in all sorts of trouble in the first half. But that's good - that's what we wanted, so I dug down and answered her. I love that Cobie didn't just collect a paycheque tonight: she actually made me better with this fight!"
