(Simguy Note: I’m making the assumption that Trickey’s a little bigger than Jen Lopez, more classically proportioned, and therefore able to fight comfortably at the upper end of Lightweight, or as a smallish welter. Although I uncovered a fair amount of information regarding her fitness and athleticism, not to mention a legitimate combative streak—I couldn’t find any stats—any reliable info much appreciated.)

Before: Gena Lee salivating at the prospect of adding another sexy pageant brunette to her list of conquests—Trickey the hottest since Landry--whom Nolin dismantled last year. It’s been a long hard road for Paula—best known for being outpointed in the Miss USA finals by Halle Berry, then actually fighting on the truck stop circuit, while playing musical chairs with various trainers and agents: Trickey’s paid her dues. Projected to be a better pro than she was an amateur—similar to Landry in that Trickey looks to hurt opponents, set down on punches. Nolin taller, a little heavier, but not taking her foe for granted—Paula’s a notorious gymrat, training religiously and packing plenty of curvy muscle on her compact 5’7” 128 pound frame Glamour boxing at its best—Paula in navy athletic bikini, sports bra type but with thin straps—yellow athletic bikini black mesh to a high neck for Gena. Stare down particularly intense—Gena sneering down, emphasizing her height, Paula shifting from one foot to the other, holding Gena’s gaze and looking ready to explode.

During R1: Sloppy clinchfest early as Gena wants to get cheap—Paula reading and defending accordingly. Evolves into shoulder to shoulder pushing and slugging midring—girls keeping their hands tight against their bodies, using their shoulders to budge each other back, swiping the occasional tight shot inside to the4 head or siders of the opponent, Scored a draw, but Trickey with some obvious jug mugging late puts an indignant scowl on Gena’s face at the bell.

R2: Gena goes right back inside with Paula, butting shoulders, walking the brunette back, and hoisting the odd right hand up into Trickey’s bikini top in payback. Trickey with the right hand under her chin, left across her body, tries to step back looking to walk Gena into punches, but she’s waiting for spots, One bright spot for Trickey—she’s bending very well at the waist, keeping her head in constant side to side movement and Gena can’t draw a bead.

R3: Nolin headlocking and twisting Paula to the ropes, practically mounts the brunette and shoves her to her knees for a warning, Pushing and grinding tactics pay off as Trickey struggles against the big blonde, but is forced back, pressed against the ropes. Gena able to cradle Paula’s head in her left arm, swipe cheap right hands to the face. After referee’s breaks, Paula’s not jabbing—allowing Gena to body up and stuff right hands into the brunette’s ripped abs, or slap short left hooks across the mouth. Nolin running away on the cards—Trickey yet to again the blonde’s respect.

R4: Trickey finally answers the bell and dishes out a methodical beating this round. Bobbing at the waist, she slips Gena’s rangy right hand and counters with a snapping left hook to the body—Nolin doesn’t like it. Nolin backing up not the same fighter and Trickey able to get into a rhythm, coming out of her crouch to snap sharp lefts and rights to the chin, doubling up on hooks to the tummy—Nolin starting to push awkwardly with her mitts to keep the brunette off her. Round ends with Gena getting bullied at the ropes, and Paula rotates her shoulders inside, rolling uppercuts against Gena’s chest, not bothering to turn the punches over, just bringing the thumbside of her fists up into the tender jugs to leave Nolin throbbing at the end of the shutout.

R5: Same as the fourth only bigger and better from Paula as she bullies Gena into panicky retreat this round, Trickey in her rhythm now, staying low, right hand under her chin, left across her body as she bobs, then rips punches from her coiled posture, Gena wilting, lips curled back in pain as Trickey welts her mercilessly to the midsection, walks her down as the blonde tries ti get punching distance. On the ropes, Gena repeatedly gives up 3 punch blasts to her head, rocking back and standing there stunned as Paula pushes up on her. Nolin trying desperately to time the brunette with lunging right hand, but Paula sees it well, slipping under it, and ripping the counterhook to the body to put jello in Gena’s legs, Again at the bell, it’s Trickey pointedly working over Nolin’s breasts with rolling uppercuts—Paula smiling as Nolin sobs in outrage—whines to the ref during the break.

R6: Paula continues to hound Gena—the vicious counters to the body have Nolin tentative—Trickey able to bib inside, shoulder up, buck the blonde back and nail her with clubbing rights and lefts from that relaxed low guard. Constant head movement has Nolin frustrated—blonde just can’t get anything going and midway through the round, she jumps in to clinch, traps Paula in a front choke and digs big brawling right hands into the brunette’s side until referee intervention. As things get soupy, Trickey cautiously drops her already low left hand to protect her groin, and promptly blocks Gena’s low right hand—Nolin gets the warning from a stern ref—Paula grinning from behind the ref as she has Nolin all figured out, Final minute all Trickey---she gets her head under Gena’s chin, bulls the taller girl into the ropes, savages those hips, then finishes up with a meanspirited jugscrubbing to leave Nolin howling at the bell. Referee pushing Paula back after the bell—brunette taking more than she’s entitled to with some late hacks.

R7: Nolin gritting her teeth and getting down to business--she stands her ground this round as the girls reach under one another’s arms trying to force the other back chest to chest. Tumbling along the ropes, it’s catch as catch can—occasional swiping blow across the face, or desperate dig into tanned midsection--both girls getting their elbows up I an attempt to push the other back—it’s hard work for the ref. Gena gets Paula brawling and the round goes as a draw—but the brunette holding her own no matter what kind of action comes her way.

R8: Paula back on the prowl, walking Gena down, stepping in with the jab, turning her hips onto the hook, and finishing up with the cross to keep Gena on the defensive. Trickey punching in clusters, always coming forward, always moving her head, and the relentless pressure is breaking Gena down. Nolin holding on more for breaks, looking worried, pushing her punches. Midway through the round, with Gena stepping back, Paula doublepumps the jab an coms over the top with a Christy Martin overhand right, CRACKING back blonde head and draping Nolin on the ropes, Gut check for Gena as those long legs quake—Paula squaring up and having a savage fo at the arms and midriff of her foe, heaving in welting lefts and rights from the sides. Once again, Paula’s punching spills into overtime—referee pushing her back and reading her the riot act as a rocked Gena Lee wobbles to her corner.

R9: Nolin’s legs aren’t right and Trickey hungrily bodies up for more. All Paula as she palms Gena’s biceps, opening the blonde up against the ropes and going heartlessly to the stomach. Nolin’s not taking it well to the body anymore—she’s cringing, covering up , turning sideways to the ropes as Trickey stays on her. Paula will lay her cheek on either Nolin shoulder, stuffing multiple rights or lefts up into the midriff as the blonde shudders in pain beneath her—Nolin helpless to prevent the beating, shows tremendous heart in not going down. Trickey rolling up the shutout, chests up to taunt the broken Gena Lee face to face as Nolin can’t bear to make eye contact.

R10: Nolin’s legs are shot—Paula’s taken them out of the game, and Trickey advances fearlessly to finish. Gena Lee won’t go quietly, and toe to toe, slam bang action breaks out to the crowd’s delight. Trickey getting tagged clean on the chin for the first time in the fight, but Nolin’s bee been sapped of snap—Paula walking through the punches and bashing Gena’s head to the side with the biting hook, or a chopping right hand up the middle. Still, Nolin won’t quit, and in the final minute, it’s Gena Lee pouring it on, working up the gut with galloping left and right uppercuts as Trickey covers up. Bell sounds, girls are torn apart---decision comes back UD10 Paula Trickey!

After: HARD feelings in the aftermath, made worse as a grinning Paula Trickey takes a woozy, battered Gena Lee for a well-deserved walk of shame. Nolin turned inside out by the Miss USA runner up--Trickey pouring out the frustrations of her star-crossed career in a nearly flawless victory over the favoured blonde. Taking a page out of the Tessa Santiago book, Trickey worked over Gena’s belly in almost every round, and finished almost every round on the blonde’s breasts—Nolin clearly losing her composure in the tough middle rounds, had to show tremendous heart just to avoid being stopped in the championship stanzas. Trickey clearly more prepared by her hard road fir Gena than pamperd Ali Landry had been—very little of the cheap stuff fazed this brunette.
