TKO9 Judd

Ashley Judd grew up fighting Latinas in honky-tonks for tip money: Catherine Zeya Jones has wrestled for the Queen and other crowned heads of Europe. Judd was known as “Queen of the Junkyard” in some Southern counties: Zeta Jones has long been a darling of the European jet set for her glamorous demolitions of often overmatched and overly optimistic ingénues. They are worlds apart, and naturally, neither woman can stand the sight of the other. For status-conscious Jones, the aristocrat-vs-peasant tension between the two has always made her losses to Judd that much moiré hurtful. Once again, these two would fight an uncompromising, often brutal war of attrition at close quarters, and once again, Ashley Judd would prove the stronger, more willful beauty.

Judd is one of those girls you don’t want to foul, as Catherine learned when her early-round low blows were answered with a robust, two-fisted pounding of her own trunks, leading to a long delay between the third and fourth rounds officials sorted out the carnage.

From then on, Judd took the fight to Catherine—resolutely walking through Jones’ jab, pounding at the Zeta-Jones midriff and brutalizing Catherine along the ropes. This was cudgeling, hardnosed fare—Judd staying close to Jones at all times, smashing at her biceps with tight, curling blows; digging in behind the elbows whenever Jones drooped forward; muscling home short, thick uppercuts to jug; pushing and mauling at Jones to disrupt her guard and clout at her jawlines/ears in tight. It’s exactly what the book says to do with the classy Ms. Zeta-Jones, and nobody has ever studied that book any better than Ashley Judd.

Catherine’s pride showed in this fight. Hurt to the body and suffering—she could very well quit in the sixth when a volley of jerking uppercuts had stunned and momentarily defenceless. By the seventh, her arms we numb and she was no longer able to protect her head after the savage bombardment inflicted upon her biceps buy Judd. Catherine Zeya Jones rallied time and again from seeming defeat—trading brutally on the inside, answering to Judd’s stout body, clipping her chin via the uppercu8t, Ashley Judd may have used Catherine Zeta Jones up tonight, but it wasn’t a one-way beatdown.  When the ref finally stepped in to cradle Jones against the ropes, she was out on her feet, totally drained—Catherine had spared herself nothing, choosing instead to fight until she could fight no more. Judd staggered away the victrix, but was herself  too battered and bruised to offer much of a celebration. A fine, hardworking fight, and perhaps a sign that Ashley Judd is once again ready to enter the lists at lightweight.
