KO8 Huffman

Amy B's one of those girls whom most pegged early in her career as a consistent top 10 entrant and eventual champion - but it hasn't worked out that way for her. Huffman came in as a typical Brenneman opponent, a big, strong, hard woman, and once again, Amy was in the position of having to fight a grueling undercard bout in hopes of building towards a bigger payday. And, once again, Brenneman would come up short, leaving many to wonder if retirement isn't her best option at this point.

There was nothing fancy or cute about this excrutiating contest. From Felicity's clubbing, first-round knock down which put a dazed Amy B on her knees - everyone present knew what to expect. Round after round, minute after minute - the women waded into each other and slogged away with merciless blows. Fans of footwork were disappointed as both chose stable, strong, gun platform type stances, often reaching in to push and palm one another's shoulders and biceps - but there WAS some science at work. Both made good use of a stubby jab in close to set up hard body and jaw shots, both tied up smart behind the other's elbows, both walked each other to ropes, and throughout it all - both laid down a merciless pounding to the flanks, chest and chin of the opponent.

In the third, relentless stalking Huffman pressure had Brenneman out on her feet.

In the fourth, comebacking Amy pounded away to the temples of her foe, ringing a reeling Huffman up for a 10-8 without the knockdown.

In the seventh, the two journeywomen had the sparse prelim crowd roaring on it's collective feet as the two traded torrid, belting licks head and body. Both nearly succumbed as knees buckled, eyes glazed over and faces grew slack - thick punching landed harder and cleaner as defences fell apart. As the two separated at the bell - heads lolling, eyes staring - though many gave Brenneman the round, it was clear she was the more damaged goods. The 8th was an afterthought as Huffman simply crossed the ring and battered sleepy Amy senseless along the ropes for a merciful stoppage at the minute mark.
