CELEBRITY BOXING AFTER DARK

Posted by simguy on 12/26/2011, 11:23 am

Before: "I'm nipping Paula in the bud," Gabrielle reports in prefight. "We've seen this all before: nobody-wannabe gets a bit part in some blockbuster - tries to turn that bloop single into a triple with a bunch of FCBA fights...that's not going to happen. She's on my turf, she's getting fights that should have come to me, and that can't happen. Patton's going down - simple as that!" Paula P busy, fighting every few weeks: she's had her sights on Gabby U for some time now. "Gotta get her beat," Patton smiles at podium. "Gabby's pretty slick, she's probably the best fighter I've faced, but I'm a lot more settled now. I've been nervy in my fights - as you'd expect - but I'm calmer now: I'll be more patient, more thorough with Union. That's not going to be good for her."

During R1: So much for "calm": Patton roars out of the gate, hurtling into Union with haymaking power from both wings. Gabrielle swept to the ropes...she's wide-eyed, stumbling on her heels while making desperation evasive maneuvers...Paula's wallop proving nigh irresistible early. Union bendy at the waist - getting low, putting a shoulder into Paula's midsection, spinning off it...Union in survivor-mode. Down the stretch, batting hooks in series catch Gabby as she's moving to her right - Patton reaching out and tagging her: UNION'S HURT! Gabrielle staggering into ropes, covering up face-in-gloves...Paula steps-to and POUNDS hips and flanks robust lefts and rights - lips pursed, eyes frowning as she gives Gabby hell. Bell: Union's sturdy legs hold her up, but she's blinking away tears; belligerent Patton pushing up off Gabby all "I'm Big" before stomping back to corner.

R2: Patton storms across the ring, swinging hooks with hardhearted eyes...Union scattered in the opening moments, but gradually getting her legs together through a series of rotating pivots midring. Turning battle evolves as Patton gives chase without cutting the ring off...Gabby circling to her right; right hand at her cheek while the left hand jots jabs to slow Patton's pursuit. Head feints from Gabby U; sneaky, pinpoint right hands off the shoulder catching Paula flush...Patton walking into traps as the round progresses. Final minute, Patton's wobbly butt from the steady diet of touches - Gabby suddenly steps in to hook gut; swipe-chop the right across mouth; swat-hook tits; loop wide righty up top and PATTON STAGGERS INTO ROPES! Paula's turn to be saved by curvy legs: she covers up, takes a pay-back drubbing to sturdy ribs as Union sends a message loud and clear: "I won't be bullied!"

R3: Paula hesitant, subdued: Gabrielle settles into boxing mode midring. Union pivoting to her left, working methodically: jab pounding at Paula's guard/tits, keeping her covered up; coiled right hand at Gabby's cheek always ready to dart for openings. Nice swatting hooks prey upon Paula's paunch: Union swatting away downstairs while turning clockwise - touching and moving on her foe. Classy shutout Union: frosty eye contact made, Gabby to Paula after the bell.

R4: Set-piece fighting in the corners as Gabrielle lures Paula forward. Union not trapping herself - she's setting up mobile pockets with space between her back and turnbuckles; left foot forward; bobbing at the waist; using her left shoulder/extended left elbow to touch and nudge at Paula. Patton eyes narrowed, reducing the pocket with frontal pressure - she's keeping dukes at cheeks, hooking for Gabby's tits; turning over clubbing right hands up top (frequently slipped by Union). Union able to fight Paula to a standstill through two minutes: down the stretch, Gabby mistimes a slip, eats too much of a jamming right on her jaw, gets knocked back into turnbuckle. Union covers up earmuff: Paula draws back right elbow and SHOVELS in a brutal right to pit of Gabby's stomach...thudding body blow drawing winces and wails from ringsiders. Union distraught, immediately clinching...strong legged beauty doesn't go down, but agonized expression on her face tells the tale of Patton's heft downstairs.

R5: Gabrielle still hurting, retreating to corners to lure Paula in, then clinching rather than battling her. Patton the bully here - walking Gabby down; lowering head and slamming away rights and lefts to hips/ribs until Union can tie up; pushing Gabby deep to turnbuckles until ref peels Paula off. Union still laying traps however - clipping Paula little swatting hooks while Gabby's laying back on ropes; feinting, then bringing sneaky rights over Paula's left shoulder.

R6: Same geography - set-piece battles fought out in all four corners - but Gabby operating a mobile pocket rather than just waiting on Paula. Union bending at the waist; weight on back (right) foot; using her left shoulder to bump Paula; dipping and rolling to set up counters off Patton misses. Paula still hammering the waist/ribs of her foe, but Union proving sturdy, letting Paula get off, then striking at her chin with either hand cute. Patton stubborn and refusing to back off, but she's outfoxed, outhit in tough back and forth fighting.

R7: Patton collapses Union's pocket, reaching in under Gabby's arms to stack her up ropeside, disorganize her. Leads to thumping punishment for Gabby - Paula stacking, then jacking away left/right/left underneath, rubbing her head against Union's upperchest while delivering. Thudding bodyshots set up Joe Frazier hooks up top; wide, swinging right roundhouses that slam to a halt on Gabby's flank. Union gasping, wincing, tying up when she's able...3 long minutes for Union as Paula lays down a pounding.

R8: Gorgeous slip-and-counter from Union at the open - Patton misses the right hand up top as Gabby's rolling-with: Union back with the bolo right uppercut to chin and Paula's put wobbly butt! Patton wobbling out of orbit, sputtering into ropes: hard-eyed Gabrielle wades in for payback. Patton hurt, covering up butt-in-ropes/dukes at temples...Gabby reaching in with left arm past Paula's right elbow, using left shoulder to bump at Patton's front. Union working short right hands/cuffing hooks...not as slam-handed destructive as Paula had been, but it's effective, keeping Patton covered up. Union working the body, trying to wick away some of the strength from Patton's legs through 8.

R9: Effective, stiff jab from Patton early - Union takes it away by sliding inside to dig-it-up shoulder to shoulder. Gruntin' and shovin' in close - girls panting mouth-on-shoulder, pumping at each other's tummies; hooking each other's tits; jamming away tight, choppy right hands to ear/jaw inside. Not a good configuration for Union...Patton's heavy hands pounding at Gabby's biceps; Patton's strong legs generally pushing Union around. Down the stretch, Patton limbers up the hook, beating GAbby in her tummy; working up-torso to jug, then ringing up the chin...Union sputters backwards with a awestruck look. Paula wades forward - shoulders hunched, dukes at cheeks: walking barrage of lefts and rights clobbers Gaggy ropeside - she'll finish up the round butt-on-ropes, sponging punches on her lats/arms.

R10: Crafty stuff from Gabby U: check-jabbing while sliding in retreat, luring Paula to corners; setting up mobile pockets with left foot forward and plenty of room at her back; slipping and rolling on her hips, making Paula miss, then cashing her in. Union's right at her cheek, left lower, dispensing jabs and cuffing hooks as Gabby keeps weight on right (back) leg...Patton hitting a lot of shoulder but unable to harm her clever foe as Gabrielle finesses the 10th. Cards come back UD10 draw: both women up for the challenge of a sudden-death tie break.

R11: Haven't seen a lot of it, but Paula's jab a heavy, ramming stroke...she opens with it, shelling Gabby's guard, forcing Union to back off. Patton walking GAbby down...midway through, Paula steps into that vicious, plunging right to the midsection - the elbow drawn well back to load up a shoveling delivery. Union grimacing, legs giving a wonky shimmy...she backs into ropes stricken, covering up earmuff. Paula smart this time - reaching in under Gabby's arms and chesting her into ropes, disorganizing crafty veteran, THEN bombarding her: Union badly battered about hips/ribs/shoulders as Paula stacks-and-jacks. Methodical, brawny stuff from Patton, just ragdolling Union into ropes, then processing her body: Gabby's teary-eyed by the bell, well and truly beaten amidships, thighs all a-tremble for the break.

R12: Gabby jabbing midring, pivoting left, trying to lure Patton into turning battle. Paula stepping in her jab - eyes frosty, right hand at her cheek as she pounds her poke to Gabby. Two minutes of taut negotiations are dead-even: Paula unable to close and impose; Union deflecting but not threatening as she sidesteps pressure. Final minute - Patton's whirling hook finds Gabby's jaw, startling her...Paula able to step in as Gabby's covering up, BURYING that muscular, plugging right deep to breadbasket! Hellish shot punches Gabrielle's butt back as her torso lurches forward...SHE'S DOWN! Union breathless on all fours, ragged...Paula stomps to neutral corner all glaring/nostrils flaring. Union beats the count, hugging her body during ref's 8: ON COMES PATTON! Fearful drubbing administered...Gabrielle sagging on ropes, dukes at temples/elbows tight to her ribs, just trying to ride out the storm. Patton squaring away, head pushed into Gabby's gloves and Paula's SLAMMIN' away beefy downstairs. Nothing fancy - Patton just setting her hips, pushing her head forward and HEAVING in bombastic rights and lefts in thick, thumping salvoes. All too much for poor Gabby as she's battered at ropes, then eases herself down to take a veteran knee. Union relieves pressure, survives the round, but it's UD12 Paula Patton by the bell.

After: Union with a hug and kind words for Paula in postfight...rookie gets Veteran respect for a strong, consistent effort tonight. "She just said she'll get me next time," Paula jokes with press in postfight. "A good fight - a very valuable fight for me to see so many different looks and angles. Gabrielle Union's a real slickster in there, and breaking her down is no easy task. It's all well and good to have a go at a girl's body, but when she's checking your chin, you have to be careful! Gabby clipped me a couple of times and had me wobbling...I was never in danger of going down, but it was a good reminder to keep moving my head and stay alert. I feel like this was my best performance to date: explosive, but more controlled. Once I get it together, I KNOW I'm going to be giving these girls hell every time out!"
