Before: “It’s been a real education the past few months. Three former flyweight champs in a row is a lot of experience all at once but I learned from each fight and I’m gonna tsunami Rachael tonight.” Cassie Scerbo grins confidently from the podium. “Hawkeye’s girls handled Cassie with ease.” Rachael Leigh Cook comments seemingly forgetting the 13 round Portman marathon that was the antithesis of ease. “I see no reason that shouldn’t continue tonight. Sure she’s probably quicker than any girl I’ve faced but the key to beating Cassie Scerbo is using experience and taking command of the ring. Yeah this cupcake is all mine.”
“Cupcake?” Scerbo looks up at her stablemate Jill Wagner as if to ask ‘Does she mean me?’ By the time the two fighters are climbing down from the podium Cassie Scerbo can be heard barking over and over ‘Cupcake? Cupcake!’
Rachael Leigh resplendent in lime green bikini and gloves and matching white boxing shoes with lime green laces, hair weaved into a French braid. Scerbo in J. P. Gaultier/Bazz black leather bikini, gloves and knee high black boots, hair loosely bunched in the back with scrunchies.
Rd 1 – Scerbo out quick easily side stepping a Cook lunging assault and then dancing in and connecting with a solid jab to Rachael’s chin. Scerbo continues to move to her right and peppering her foe with jabs to the head. Cook, already aware that she has severely underestimated Scerbo’s quickness nonetheless remains calm, enduring the frenetic up tempo pace as only an experienced veteran would. She begins working the ring on the jitterbugging blonde. Scerbo backpedalling around Cook snapping off jabs while the stalking brunette works on cutting off the Bazz girl’s escape routes. Stiil it’s Scerbo’s speedy pace that carries the round.
Rd 2 – Scerbo comes out on her bicycle again but Cook is relaxed ever the patient veteran fighter. She starts catching Scerbo with some body shots. The scene resembles a hound chasing a squirrel around the yard. Scerbo darting in and out landing quick jabs while Cook follows her around the ring putting together her own jabs and uppercuts whenever she gets close enough. The two fighters going at it now showing off their respective styles, Scerbo lightening quick and flashy in an homage to Sugar Ray Leonard while Cook expertly stalks the blonde with strong more powerful punches marvelous in her Marvin Hagler form. Suddenly Scerbo lashes out with a vicious three punch combination. Left. Right. Left and DOWN GOES COOK! An improbable knockdown with the brunette right back up on her feet as the bell rings.
Rd 3 – Scerbo an instant replay of the first two rounds out like a firefly buzzing in and out of Rachael’s radar screen. Blonde fly seems to have solved Cook’s methodical attacking made. She’s all over the brunette pestering her with fluid motion of jabs to the head and wide rights to the torso. Cook frustrated to the point of distraction. Her formerly crisp punches are now flailing wide and Scerbo easily dodges her way into some simple scores. Rache doing her best to land punches and when she does they are strong body shots but Scerbo continues to dominate the rounds.
Rd 4 – Cook out determined to solve the Scerbo puzzle. Like any smart veteran she changes tactics and begins backpedalling away from Scerbo making her chase for a change. The result is some effective counterpunching from Cook for a few precious moments until Scerbo switches gears herself. Blonde fly is just too quick to back pedal away from for too long. Scerbo sidesteps, finds an angle on the retreating brunette and effectively returns to pestering the frustrated Cook. Rache jabbing back at the blonde and following up with rights to the liver but she’s not quite catching Scerbo who shows some traces of showboating as she pokes her head into Rache’s wheelhouse and backs away just avoiding wide right hands.
Rd 5 – Rache comes out aggressively switching her modus operandi once again. Wily veteran at a loss to find an answer for Scerbo’s quickness. Scerbo is game for the challenge and more serious having received a stern lecture from Poindexter Del Crunchy with regards to the detriments of showboating around in the ring in between rounds. Both fighters exchanging blows in some exciting back and forth. Cook catching the blonde with some strong body shots making her wince while Scerbo counters with her trademark flashy hands. Crowd roars as both girls hit pay dirt against each other. Scerbo punches land on Rachael’s brow snapping back the pretty brown haired head. Crowd on its feet sensing another knockdown as Scerbo assault overwhelms. Cook hurt but able to effectively cover up until the bell.
Rd 6 – Scerbo showing no signs of slowing down but Cook corners her against the ropes. Blonde working hard but Rache giving her no room as she mauls her with a constant array of clinches and short punches to the kidneys. Ref lets the holding go on unabated. Suddenly Poindexter Del Crunchy bellows from Scerbo’s corner “Get off the blooooooody ropes!” Loud command does little to stop the ugly display in the ring. Rache leaning on Scerbo as if she’s a light post at a bus stop pushing against her and not letting her breathe.. After the bell Scerbo has a word with the ref complete with a stamping foot and a display of hand gestures. The ref returns fire with a stern finger wagging lecture for the young flyweight.
Rd 7 – Rachael quickly corrals Scerbo against the ropes again. Blonde forced to fend off Cook from close quarters as the brunette leans on her and mauls her with tight shots to the torso and jugs. Crowd looks restless as a first class fight has turned into sumo wrestling dinner theatre. From his $5000 front row seat John Malkovich starts yelling frantically at the ref to do his job. The ref seems more interested in the grey bearded villian’s inventive comments than the mere distraction of a fight going on right next to him. The result is a continued mauling of all things Scerbo including her jugs. For the second round Rachael Leigh keeps Scerbo under wraps and gets the points.
Rd 8 – Scerbo keeps her distance from Cook for a moment but the brown haired mauler practically lunges at the blonde bear hugging her back into the ropes. The crowd reacts immediately led by an apoplectic John Malkovich booing loudly and yelling all sorts of unpleasantries at the ref. Scerbo enduring harmless punches to the body but giving up points in a still undecided bout. Malkovich’s superior imagination working overtime coming up with unique insults to hurl at the now stunned referee. Despite the crowds displeasure Rachael Leigh has found a solution to Scerbo’s maddening pace pushing her up against the ropes and unloading short distance punches. Scerbo punching back but this stuff in tight isn’t her style. She tries to create space by shooting some uppercuts Raches way but the brown haired beauty is able to keep her up against the ropes for the duration of the round.
Rd 9 – Cassie finally gets Rachael Leigh to engage at mid ring by simply dodging her a couple of times. All Cassie is missing is a red cape as she matadors Cook around the ring. The result is a return to a furious pace with Scerbo careful to avoid any clinches. Toe to toe action doesn’t scare Rache as she gives it out as good as she’s taking it from Scerbo. Two fly girls stand at mid ring and have at it with Scerbo trying to renegotiate her superiority in this fight while Cook is bobbing and weaving in front of the blonde jabbing and then using her right hand as a hammer against her body. Crowd back into the fight as the girls are showing their stuff. For the most part it’s Scerbo taking shots at the brunette’s head while her foe pounds away to the body. Best round of the fight is close but Scerbo’s.
Rd – 10 Rachael out still strong showing everyone that she’s far from over the hill and in as good a shape as the young blonde. The two take their spots at mid ring and begin a clinic on hammer and tongs. Rache doing a great job of bobbing and weaving against Scerbo who is dancing in and out with short steps so that she stays connected to the brown haired fighter. Both girls swinging furiously as the crowd erupts into madness sucking up the frantic pace. Rache not slowing down for a second catches Scerbo with a right hand to the chin that turns the blonde’s head but Cassie right back with a combination to the brunette’s head. Neither girl wants to back down but at mid round Scerbo rocks Cook with two jabs and then the right cross connects to the jaw and DOWN GOES RACHAEL! Brown haired fighter swoons to the left and hits the canvas for a nap. Cook doesn’t move until the ref gets to the count of six and then only to make a gesture to grab at the ropes that are actually about ten feet away. Good Lord an exhausting KO 10 SCERBO.
After: “Well I got a kick out of the cupcake thing. That was actually pretty original. Rache is in great shape there’s no doubt and she pushed me that’s for sure. She’s probably the smartest fighter I’ve gone up against. She changed her look almost every round. Now you guys know why we run that hill behind the mansion! She’ll get a rematch. She deserves it if she can handle the punishment again. Now it’s back to taking on the top ten girls.” A heavy breathing Cassie Scerbo comments as she walks over to give a recovering Rachael Leigh Cook a hug.
