BEFORE: "You can't just do the same thing against Nadia," Righetti relates in prefight. "She'll kill you. It's especially dangerous for me because she sees a lot of me - spars with me a lot...it's hard to have secrets from a stablemate. But have them I do, and Nadia's in for a big reveal!"

Bjorlin champing at the bit - always at her most enthusiastic when contemplating a go at Amanda. "I feel I have the tools to beat Amanda - even eclipse her at Bonzo," Nadia says at podium. "My hands are quicker in combination, but the key is, I HAVE to be bigger with her. I have to back her up; have to mug and bully her in clinches. I'm one of the few girls out there who can push Amanda around, and I'm going to have to do that to have success!"

Amanda in purple sport top; floral print swimsuit bottoms in mauves, blues, pinks and whites on dark purple background; white gloves; hair in long braid. Nadia in evergreen sport bra; pink swimsuit bottoms; pink gloves; twin braids behind either ear.

During R1: Righetti affecting a Carlos Monzon look early: bouncing on her toes/using a bit more footwork than usual; hands grouped loose at chest, working behind the jab. Nadia dukes curled into chin, weaving side to side as she looks to comes in low/straighten up into flying hooks. Rigs knocking pate via the jab, circling to her left...takes Nadia a minute to find the range, finally slugging her way inside. Fighters hunching forward shoulder to shoulder - Nadia digging up under Amanda's breasts with either hand; Amanda working Nadia's flanks with wide, relaxed, heavy clout - occasionally cutting her hook clean across Bjorlin's tummy. Get sloppy down the stretch as girls tie up...Nadia with left arm in under Amanda's right - Bjorlin able to free up her right hand, swipe-chopping it in close across Amanda's mouth...RIGHETTI'S LEGS GIVE A SHIMMY! Amanda hurt late, able to clinch out the round while dropping the points.

R2: Nadia leaping in on Righetti via the hook, then grinding inside as redhead lays in with brunette. Fighters pushing each other around, holding and chopping, working the body with thick, meaty hacks. Final minute, Amanda backs out, starts that relaxed bouncing - feeding Nadia the jab to keep Bjorlin outside. Rigs scoring, turning her foe...dying moments see her trigger a quick jab/right hand over Nadia's left shoulder, turning her chin...Nadia's knees buckle, spilling her forward out of her stance - curvy legs hold her up though she's wide eyed, staggered at bell.

R3: First-minute pressure from Bjorlin, negotiated by Righetti with clinches and good lateral footwork. Amanda gradually getting her jab on Nadia, turning her clockwise midring...Amanda reaching the left out easy, then snapping it the last six inches, pounding at Nadia's cheeks/brows. Frustrated Bjorlin snarling, lunging for Amanda...Righetti leaning back, legging out of range, then regaining initiative with punishing poke. Final minute, Nadia discouraged, lumping up...Amanda patiently walks her down with the jab - touching her, touching her, then BOOM! Straight, chopping right off the shoulder - Amanda's right (back) heel up off canvas she leans into a jackhammer shot, PUTTING NADIA ON HER BACK! Bjorlin in shock, picking head up off canvas all blinking and stunned...she's slow getting to her feet, swaying on the spot for 8.

R4: Nadia perplexed, hanging back in her stance, so Amanda steps-to. Righetti cautious, relaxed...she'll bounce a bit, then step in, poke the jab to Nadia's brow; double-dab it to her breasts. Bjorlin scowling - right hand at left cheek/left at right elbow - she's slipping and parrying poke, showing a little head movement, but unable to be aggressive. Righetti stepping Bjorlin back, methodically punishing her then bringing shockingly abrupt right hands off the shoulder, pasting Nadia's chin! Bjorlin takes a few slobberknockers, legs stiffening up until midway through, bang-bang one-two pounds through, dropping her to her back! Nadia blinking, head up off canvas in wonder...Amanda's picking her apart and both girls know it! Bjorlin gamely beats the count, but she's hurt...Righetti changes aspect, choosing to engage forehead to forehead to work in close. Rigs at her most brutal - stooping forward, hands loose at her chest...she's chop-clouting lefts and rights to Nadia's jawlines/ears, just clobbering Bjorlin. Nadia staggering in her stance, crossing arms right atop left and bobbing on the spot...Righetti just stays in there pate to pate, hacking away up top; cutting the odd wicked hook across Nadia's tummy. Bell: Bjorlin wobbly-butt, busting up nicely...Righetti all business on the brisk walk back to corner.

R5: Nadia showing spirit, weaving her way in, lunging for Righetti's chin via the long hook...Amanda showing good leg for a big woman, backpedalling out of range; pivoting at the ropes, turning her foe around the ring. Amanda showing that casual bounce, stepping to either side, then reaching out to prod that jab...she gradually brings Nadia to heel as Bjorlin grinds down against Big Rigs' left hand. Once Bjorlin's forward momentum is broken, Righetti starts slowly taking canvas - working methodically behind the jab; tying up whenever Bjorlin tries to change things. Nadia crossing arms, bobbing on the spot...Righetti standing up tall, weight on left leg, darting double and triple jabs to keep Bjorlin defensive. Right hands start to drop from the midpoint on - usually fast on the heels of a left jab...Nadia just catching and staring, catching and staring until once again, her legs give way and she sputters out of orbit. Amanda walks Nadia down to ropes, leans in forehead to forehead, working in close to get Nadia good and beat! Amanda with a short right uppercut to chin; Amanda with chopping clouts to either ear; Amanda with wide, cutting hooks across the tummy. Bjorlin frozen against ropes, stooping forward on the take...she's a battered, confused beauty at the bell.

R6: Righetti leaning back from Nadia's early surge...redhead misjudged distance; Nadia's leaping hook lands in Frazieresque fashion on chin and DOWN GOES RIGHETTI! Amanda splashing to her back...her turn to look all amazed and groggy, picking her head rickety off canvas. Nadia jogs all jugs a-jumpin' to neutral corner as Amanda beats the count...Righetti shabby, blinking/shaking her head during the standing count. ON COMES NADIA! Righetti butt-in-ropes, dukes-at-temples...Bjorlin wades in with hands low, elbows out to either side...she dips in, pulling a walloping right hand onto Amanda's flank..crashing blast draws groans from audience as redhead absorbs on the spot. Sweeping left to right ear; sweeping right to flank...Amanda getting wrecked, swooning behind her guard. Another wide left up top - the wide right to body: Amanda answers back the short right uppercut; trades her short, chopping hook for Bjorlin's wide haymaker and NADIA'S ROCKED! Bjorlin stepping in fence post holes, suddenly unhinged...zombie Righetti shrugs up off ropes, dukes at her cheeks as she takes a moment to stabilize, then hooks Nadia across the jugs. Bjorlin staring, angered at the jug-swat, she tries a right hand off her back (right) foot as Amanda's leaning into a vicious-chopping short right to chin and DOWN GOES NADIA! Bjorlin hacked down to her right hip/right hand...Amanda stumbling away...Nadia sniveling, SO hurt at this point, but she somehow beats the count! No more bounce in Righetti's legs...she forms up dukes at cheeks, waits for ref's signal then wades in as Nadia stoops forward off ropes in earmuff. Righetti leans in close, fits right uppercut to Nadia's sternum; bobs under Nadia's swatting right; shovels the left to Nadia's ribs; bobs the weak Bjorlin left; jerks the right uppercut clean to chin, knocking Nadia upright into ropes, loosening her guard, lolling her head. Nadia staring, looping the right around Amanda's head as Righetti leans in close/shoves right hand to gut, putting a wince of agony on Nadia's face. Rigs pushes off with left forearm in Nadia's stomach, then carves the right uppercut to chin...Bjorlin ROCKED back into ropes, hands dropping, eyes staring. Righetti: left hook to chin, toggling Nadia's face side to side; chopping right hand as Righetti dips to her left...Nadia's eyes rolls back into her head, her body laying back over top rope. Straight left grazes Nadia's chin, then her knees give way, spilling her forward and down off the ropes as Amanda staggers back. Bjorlin pools chest-first at Amanda's feet, fast asleep...KO6 Amanda Righetti!

After: Amanda surviving a late scare, shaking off the KO-against to turn Nadia's aggression against her...Bjorlin absolutely heartbroken when she's brought around on her stool and informed of the outcome. "I used a bit more movement than I usually do," Amanda grins in postfight - lumped up and wincing, but still upbeat. "I knew I'd have to solve Nadia with power, but I wanted to touch her up first, get her broken down some, and I think it worked really well. It's another look for me - something I can break out when I need it...even the best fighter in the game has to keep growing, right?"
