CELEBRITY BOXING AFTER DARK:

BOXING ON THE BEACH

(Results: Simguy)

Posted by Lookout! Boxing on July 7, 2012, 11:21 am

Before: Sophia Bush eager to get back into FCBA contention after her show “One Tree Hill” ended its amazing run on the CW earlier this year and Leven Rambin, who was a brief run on the show is eager to get her own FCBA career started. Sophia hasn't competed since 2010 when she had only one match, so is definitely rusty but excited. Leven is participating in her first match, but is being assisted in this match by Minka Kelly. Minka beat Sophia in her last traditional FCBA match and is happy to pass on her experience to their new bantam. Not a traditional role for Minka, but whether she's looking for an ally or just being good, Leven seems to appreciate the help. Leighton Meester also reportedly provided a little help, though with Leighton's recent comments regarding Minka, not at the same time.

All reports from the set of “One Tree Hill” last year suggest that Leven and Sophia were on good terms, but you wouldn't know that from the pre-fight. Sophia snarks about the celebrities she's busted up in the past, naming people like Hayden Panettiere, Summer Glau, Scarlett Johansson and how she's looking forward to adding Leven to the list. Leven dismisses such trash-talk as Sophia re-living the past and changing the focus to the present, where Leven proclaims she'll be beating up her former castmate. A little bit of snark and shoving before the match, though both ladies do agree to the handshake.

The fight will take place on the beach. Sophia wearing a black bikini with white trim, matching gloves; Leven clad in a pink bikini with white gloves, hair in a fighting ponytail.

R1: Sophia comes out very aggressive, eager to show off as she looks to compete once again in the FCBA. Sophia is just swinging back and forth with wild hooks and demonstrating some serious power between them, but Leven able to handle it well. Leven displays some good footwork, courtesy of Minka no doubt, but Sophia continues her onslaught. Just sending Leven backwards with continued right hands towards Leven's body, but Leven gets in a few good shots of her own. Leven on her heels for most of the round, but towards the middle of the round, manages to send a looping right to Sophia's face. Sophia is startled, head snapping backwards and finds herself driven back slightly. Leven seizes on the moment, pouncing forward to send her own right hands with short, effective hooks of her own towards Sophia's body and face. Sophia's turn to backpedal,although gets in some punches to the body late in the round to keep Leven from taking control. Overall, it's a pretty even round with the judges giving a slight advantage to Leven. Sophia not pleased and Leven a little more relaxed as she's won her first round in FCBA competition.

R2: Sophia comes out swinging again, but Leven maintaining her steady foot-work. Bobbing and delivering that right hand of hers towards Sophia's face. Sophia getting her guard up to mostly block it from having the impact it might otherwise have, but Leven then targets towards the body or chest. Sophia forced to backpedal again, moving back towards the ropes as Leven steadily focuses her efforts on Sophia's body to wear her down. Leven firing her shots towards Bush's torso and tummy, doubling Sophia up. Sophia tries to clinch and is successful in doing so, preventing Rambin again from taking full control of the round. However, the judges score it again for Leven to give her a second straight round.

R3: Sophia responds hard in this round, determined to stem the damage from the previous two rounds. Leven forced to retreat initially under the onslaught, Sophia sending swiping right hands towards Leven's face and shoulders, forcing Leven to cover up. Leven stands her ground, however and after moving back towards the ropes, is able to exchange some bruising right hands of her own towards Sophia's face. Both fighters trade right and left hooks and jabs, but as the round progresses, it's Leven who is landing more of them. Sophia continues slugging hard, but at the end of the round, it's the same result, more Leven. Sophia clearly upset and Leven upbeat as Minka gives her an encouraging talk in the corner in between rounds.

R4: It's another promising start for Sophia, using both her left and right hands in wild swinging motions that connect hard around her blonde foe's face and chest. Sophia takes the opening minute and continues her punishing right hands into the second, but Leven does keep up her guard to keep from taking too much damage. The two of them trading punches, but Sophia determined not to fizzle down the stretch this round. Leven does connect with a clipping right hand underneath Sophia's outstretched fists to deliver an uppercut that dazes her, but Sophia clinches while she recovers and then keeps on the offense to make sure the judges score this round for Sophia. And they do.

R5: It's possible that the uppercut towards the end of the round last time dazed Sophia more than we realized as she doesn't come out quite as combative at the start of this round, but Leven, on the other hand, does. Sophia comes out to slam right hands towards Leven in the middle of the ring, but Leven is eager to retake the momentum she lost last round. Leven sending straight rights towards Sophia's face/head combined with left hooks to ribs/tummy. Sophia is rattled a bit, Leven pushing her opponent backwards. A stiff right cross to her jaw sends Sophia stumbling towards the ropes, where Leven goes to work on Sophia's body as she is butt-in-ropes. By the end of the round, Sophia is definitely a dazed beauty, doubled over while shaking her head to clear it. Minka giving Leven some instruction after this round, Leven's most confident round yet.

R6: Sophia's guard and stance aren't quite as tight coming out this round, though still remains aggressive. Sophia hasn't competed actively in several years and it's showing as she's mouth-breathing slightly. Leven trained hard for the Hunger Games film and for the last several months since she's been signed, demonstrating some superior fitness here as the match continues. Kelly hammers at Bush with steady, fists towards her foe's tummy and ribs. When Sophia covers up, she follows up with some clouting fists towards Bush's breasts in the middle round. Sophia appears spooked by Rambin's bombardment and late in the round, Sophia is picked up by a right uppercut that glances along her jugs and catches her underneath her chin. Sophia is spilling towards her butt, then crashing to her back as she's out of it. , rolling side-to-side but is unable to make her way back to her feet. In stunning fashion, the matches goes to Leven Rambin via KO6.

After: Leven leaping around and hopping over a prone Sophia to celebrate. Leven pretty exuberant as her superior conditioning this match helped her win, although Sophia hopefully will get back into fighting shape for future matches. Leven pumping her fist into the air and even exchanges a hug and fist-bump with Minka, who smiles at seeing her training pay off in the form of a debut win for Ms. Rambin. It's a big win for Leven, though taking on her former co-star who hasn't competed actively in some time is not the toughest test to face, but a good start nonetheless. Rumor has it that she already has a follow-up match set up, however, which will be announced in the future.
