UNIFIED LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE

Posted by simguy on 10/23/2011, 11:55 am

BEFORE: "I'm SO stoked!" Missy gushes in prefight. "When I turned pro, I thought I could be bantam champ...but Evangeline Lilly just looked so imposing and unbeatable at the time. Dominating her really convinced me to set my sights sky-high, you know? Shoot for the moon. Now I'm at lightweight, fighting and beating women I never dreamed I could beat, and I'm finally fighting for the title...and you know what? I'm going to win this thing! I'm taking the title from Taylor Cole, because I've climbed mountains to get here; I've beaten unbeatable fighters, and I've grown to accept my talent. I'm an exceptional fighter, and I'm going to act like it against Taylor. When we're done, I'm going to be champion, and maybe even the best fighter in boxing: I'm not intimidated by my own destiny any more!" Cole rollng her eyes at Missy's journey of self-discovery...she's got a different take on matters. "Missy's beaten some good fighters to get here," Cole allows, dark eyes flashing. "But her big problem now is that she's in with a GREAT fighter. Missy's exceptional? Try competing Jennifer O'Dell into the ground and convincing her to quit boxing. Try being ignored by the press and cheated out of title shots - but persevering anyway to get what's mine. Try RUINNG Adrianne Pallicki and throwing the fear of God into Charlize Theron with my beauty AND my fighting...THAT'S exceptional. I'm glad everyone thinks Missy's so special, because when I kick her ass like all the rest, I'll be that much more great. You guys never mention my name as best pound for pound, but maybe after I SHRED your girl, you'll finally realize what I've known all along: Taylor Cole is Best In Show!" Taylor in lavender sport top; dark purple sport bikini bottoms with swirling patterns in blue/black/white/pink; black gloves; long black hair straight, smooth. Missy in baby blue sport top; navy sport bikini bottoms; white gloves; hair in scruffy ponytail with messy bangs framing face.

During R1: Taylor scowling; Missy calm, intense. Missy: dukes up/elbows in...chin tucked...her torso curled in hooded-cobra look (not quite a full crouch)...feet set to move in or out in-stance. Taylor in rangier configuration - right at her cheek - left lower, slightly extended - her jab coming up from belly height. Classy, classy boxing both ways - women working behind the jab; right (back) heels up off canvas as they step and pivot about. Taylor dropping in right crosses off her jab, then coming back a thick, whacking hook in Missy's tummy; Peregrym doubling her jab - varying the speed on her pokes, then coming witn pinpoint straight rights up the middle. Cole's thudding body-hooks always the loudest, heaviest blows in any exchange...she hammers Missy for points in a technical first.

R2: Same tactical dispositions and execution...this time Missy gets the edge by supplementing her top-work with digging flurries to Taylor's midsection. Peregrym rolling her shoulders, delivering ratatat spank on abs...Cole has to leg out to regroup.

R3: Same again - girls never breaking form: when hit hard, they disengage in good order and use their legs - neither girl able to slug the other out of position. Missy a touch more forceful - jabbing head or body; stamping in that sudden, straight right...Cole taking a good punch by absorbing several chin-knockers. Down the stretch, MIssy invests in Taylor's ribs - edging in closer to deploy both hands against Cole's flanks: Taylor taking the punches with dukes at temples, lips pursed.

R4: Same again - girls putting on a hard-punching, but technical boxing clinic. Cole establishing that whacking hesitation hook to Missy's waist off the one-two up top; Peregrym taking a good shot, answering back her own combinations to Taylor's midsection, but mixing in the odd little left uppercut/right hand routine to back Cole off. Missy seems to be stronger, holding her canvas better: Taylor competitive, hitting her challenger hard, but unable to break Peregrym down through 4.

R5: Same hard-hitting proficiency both ways - well conditioned brunettes taking murderous rips to the body while blocking or blunting most of the shots up top. Down the stretch, Taylor doubles up on right hands to Missy's left-side ear/jaw, finally getting Peregrym to duck-and-cover: challenger crouches low, giving up her back; champ drums away without hesistation via sweeping hammer-fist right on kidney. Ref warning Taylor as Missy grimaces in pain: champ's eyes absolutely pitiless as she assesses the hurt.

R6: Missy with the variable-speed jab - sometimes banging it out there - sometimes slow-playing it...yo-yo effect lulls Taylor into accepting a blistering straight right to point of chin. Crowd roaring as Cole's head kicks back like the top of a Pez dispenser...she wobbles out of orbit, hurt for the first time tonight. Missy sccoting-to in good form - chin tucked, right at her cheek as she jabs Taylor to ropes, then squares away on her. Cole recovering well - she's under pressure, but organized, keeping her mitts up/elbows in. Missy bang-banging the body right/left; jabbing Taylor's guard and chest to pin her down; fitting in straight right hands up top, trying to penetrate Cole's guard. Taylor beaten soundly about both flanks, but not giving up any more chin...champ tying up in spots, acting like a pro at the ropes, just slowing Missy's onslaught and not trying to compete at a disadvantage. Bell: Missy grinning, holding her right fist up to her corner as she's hustling back...really the only definitive round for either woman so far.

R7: Missy tries to extend her gains - encountering plenty of stiff resistance from a still-dangerous champion. Cole fighting off the perimeter now - loping side to side along the aprons - using a long jab to set up heavy right hands up top. Missy stalking, weaving her head side to side - trying to punch-with and catch Cole punching. More good work done on the Cole ribcage as Peregrym continues to slam away both hands in spots: Taylor grumpy, frowning at the bell.

R8: Taylor ocntinuing to fight from the perimeter, legging to her right or left to induce pursuit from Missy, then walking Peregrym into right hands. Missy taking a good shot - covering up and rolling-torso after any stout hit: Cole with initiative, using it to fix Missy's position with the jab, then turn her flanks with lanky footwork. Peregrym outboxed this round...unhurt, but Cole's vicious, strapping hooks have Peregrym's abs quivering at bell.

R9: Another good round for Taylor Cole...champ legging around her challenger, coaxing Missy forward; walking her into the right hand, then; sidestepping her rangy. Peregrym caught in turning battles all around the ring...she's covering up well, absorbing the worst of Cole's right hand bombs, but it's robbing Peregrym of initiative. Taylor extending on shots, fighting at arm's length: she's fighting her fight late in a VERY close fight.

R10: Missy doubles the jab to Taylor's chest, steps in close, buries the right to pit of Cole's stomach: challenger turns brawler to get Taylor off her toes. Cole forced to slug...she feeds Missy the right uppercut off the right (back) plant leg as Peregrym's pushing forward; Missy munching the punch for the opportunity to club left/right upside Taylor's head. Fight drifts to ropes - girls snarling, fighting hard shoulder-to-shoulder...cramped conditions favour brawny Missy who's not shy about using head/shoulders/elbows to bump for space. Cole not shy herself about digging out points in a phone-booth: she's picking Missy up via uppercuts; ringing her up hooks in close. Bell: fighters still pasting away all blazing eyes/bared teeth...ref pulls 'em apart for a long wait until decision comes back UD10 for the winner and NEW champion - Missy Peregrym!

After: Cole closing her eyes, then throwing her hand wraps to the canvas - turning away from Missy and stalking off rather than shake the new champion's hand. Missy crying tears of joy...fighting and winning at the highest levels of competition for a couple of years now, finally earning the coveted Lightweight straps. "Look - congrats to Taylor Cole," gracious champion says first and foremost. "She's an awesome fighter and it took everything I had to beat her. I'm Lightweight champion now and I know what that means: the best fighters in the celebrity universe will be gunning for me. I can't wait: this is the opportunity I've fought for - to be in position to turn back the loveliest women in the FCBA and to cement my reputation as the best fighter in the game. High aspirations, I know, but that's my goal: defend the belts; bring this division to its knees! I almost want to fight somebody right now, I'm so excited!"
