(Non-Title Bout)

Posted by Simguy on 8/2/2002, 6:37 am.

Before: Icons of American beauty meet in the squared circle=--Playmate of the Year vs Miss USA. Landry playing Apollo Creed to Heather’s Rocky in prefight—Ali magnanimously extending an opportunity to a “no-hoper” in her words, looking to get some rounds I while Nolin gets her act together. Steamy weigh-in session as girls get face to face, appraising each other’s plush physiques with harsh, disappointed expressions—Landry pinching an inch of cushion at Heather’s hip. Kozar furious at the treatment she receives from the champ AND the champ’s lapdogs at HB)—she’s big, she’s blonde, and she’s highly motivated in this non-title affair. Kozar in gold bikini, black gloves, Ali in baby blue pushup, baby blue floral print bottoms, white gloves.

During R1: Landry wants to show inside, lay down the law, but Kozar’s standing her ground and waging war.  Pattern develops: Landry stepping in with her jab and putting punches together, but Kozar shutting Ali down whenever the brunette starts to get off and midway through, tough body shots expose the brunette to a firm hook on the chops that has Landry wobbly butt. Ali tieing up with a hurting pout—Heather fights her way through it, POUNDING away with purpose to those melons, drawing a sob of protest from Landry at the bell.

R2: All morose, sullen off her stool—Heather gets on top in a hurry. Kozar brawny, wrapping up high on Landry to bully her to the ropes, then slugging mouth on shoulder with the brunette. Ali unable to walk Kozar back—she sits in the ropes, huddling in close with the blonbde and trading at a pace and distance that gives Heather a chance. Kozar giving it to Ali with gusto—thumping away on the gut, clipping right uppercuts in close, always bodying up and shouldering her girl to keep Landry pinned. Ali outmuscled, out punched this round—she’s all achy and whiny in her corner during the break.

R3: Landry using the jab to et the table, then stepping in close to work Kozar’s tawny gut with hooks, shouldering the blonde off and swatting her up top with either hand. Landry busier, more effective body on body now—she’s wrestling for position with more energy, putting punches together, and stepping around Kozar’s left shoulder to get angles in tight. All loose and  relaxed—Heather comparatively rigid as she leans forward, gloves at her face, getting softened up this round.

R4: Kozar better when she can forward, get muscular on Landry—blonde bulls brunette to the ropes and it’s different fight. Kozar sopping Ali up with heavy, clubbing strokes, beating the waist, arms and skull of her girls as Landry rolls, blocks at the perimeter, Ali too defensive, getting outworked. And she’s not taking the body work well. Kozar able to double Ali up, punish her at will at times this round—Landry forced to clinch, hang on for breaks as blonde romps.

R5: Corner imploring Landry to box—grudgingly she gives in and executes this round. Ali doing a better job of keeping her distance, sjowing Heather a little lateral step to circle, smashing the jab against the blonde’s upper chest and guard. Ali spotting the right hand on Heather’s jaw—blonde soaking up the ounch well, but brunette obviously in control when the fight’s at midring, outside.

R6: Kozar with gloves at her cheeks, wades into Ali with side to side head movement, pulling clobbering lefts and rights into the brunette to bang her ropeside, Heather breaking on Ali’s waves.—blonde bodying up, pressing brunette to a seat, moving her hands back and forth to belly then stepping out to create room for the uppercut. Ali wilting, blocking and pushing, but not punching and Heather’s pounding down the clinch when Landry tries it. Tortuous sack socking from Kozar draws cries of pain from the champ as Landry gets pancaked late—Heather smiling, cooing to her foe as she chests her flat against the ropes at the bell.

R7: Heather zesty, upbeat—Ali sluggish, reactive as blonde walks brunette downb and makes her fight. Landry giving ground, throwing a halfhearted jab and trying to turn into the timing right to catch Heather coming in, Kozar constantly getting on top, working to tanned gut with thudding repetition, then spanking her way up Ali’s glorious torso with free swinging glee. Oh, the jug mugging Heather’s doing, chugging away to cups without restraint, forcing agonized clinches and pained expressions from the champ. Landry fighting back in spots, able to find Kozar’s chin with sneaky right hands and fitting in a tight hook to jug herself—but she’s just getting buried by blonde determination.

R8: Ali stepping smartly to her right, snaps out that jab and has Kozar tentative on the puitside., Heather dipping, trying to walk in without a jab and she gets NAILED a blistering right hand counter on the teeth. Heather spilled to all fours, in desperate trouble—Ali stalking anxiously in the neutral corner as blonde gets it together. RAMPAGE! Ali lunging across the ring to tackle her foe to the ropes and brunette chest, leaning into the ropes as Landry’s whistling fists spank off the face. Ali feeling it, feet wide apart as she extends the left to pry into Heather ‘s guard, then slams home vicious right hands, Kozar titling to her right, eyes glazed—she’s helpless as right hands crash over and over to her head. KOZAR’S DOWN! Blonde dazed on her side, pathetically trying to rise, but it’s over—KO8 Ali Landry.

After: Landry huffy, angry in victory—she took a beating and lost a lot of rounds to a “daytime ham and egger” before solving Heather’s questionable defense. Kozar unable to fight backing up, not effecti8ve when Landry boxed in earnest, but her sheer slugging almost pulls off the upset as Ali needed the KO to win. “Chalk up another Playmate,” Ali growls in postfight, neatly glossing over the fine print.
