Before: Righetti a forgotten woman—terrific rookie campaign stalled after losing to Erica Durance—Amanda scrounging for work, taking beach rounds for short money while waiting for bigger opportunities. “It’s frustrating,” athletic blonde tells “Beach Beat” magazine. “I know I’m a better fighter than Erica or Alana or Tricia, but I can’t get arrested. I stumble against Erica and sort of got written off, but I feel I’m a terrific talent who’s too good for the open air circuit. No offense.” Kamano a Kiana Tom managed veteran—Tom receiving some heat for putting one her 40-something charges in with a rugged woman I her physical prime—Kiki shrugs off the criticism. “Stacy Kamano’s i9n the best shape of her life,” Tom explains. “She’s fit and strong and I’ll tell you what: I can fill any outdoor venue in Honolulu with her. So don’t blame me—as long as people want to see Stacy K, I’m going to deliver that product.” Hawaii Hilton outdoors, beach n’bleachers. Stacy in neon blue bikini, Righetti in crimson.

During R1: Righetti working the botox early, jabbing Stacy’s face and stepping clockwise to control center ring. ‘Manda graduating to body with big banging right/lefts above the hips, working those aging ribs—Stacy grunting, huddling forward, elbows in as shapely Hawaiian chassis soaks up shock, Tidy left/right uppercut shakes Kamano end of second minute—she staggers wobbly butt to ropes, hands at temples, digging in as Righetti squares away. Thick beat don administered, Amanda hammering away short, muscular lefts and rights head and shoulders on Stacy, buffeting veteran one foot to the other at the bell, Shutout Righetti—Kamano’s face already starting to bust up.

R2: Kamano landing a firm right hand on the chin, back with a hook to the body: Righetti marches righty through it to bang away rights and lefts. Stace forced backward in stages, bumping shoulders with Righetti, occasionally scuffing foreheads as girls look to dig at close range. Amanda busier, more systematic, pounding taut Hawaiian waist, climbing the ladder to tidy up jug, then cashing in chin as Kamano breaks down. Stacy not moving her head, not getting off—she’s in fabulous shape, but reflexes look shot as Righetti has her way through two.

R3: Righetti attacking older woman to the body—hard fists bouncing off sturdy ribs in either flank, ‘Manda getting off compact, elbows in as she twists her torso into shots. Midway through, Stacy stubbornly punching back at Righetti’s gut flat right hands—Kamano puts the hook on top and RIGHETTI SCOOTS TO HER BUTT! Stace nostrils flaring as she stomps to neutral corner—Righetti up at 8, but woozy. Amanda covers up earmuff, butt in ropes as Kamano wades in—good thumping beat down administered—Stace upright, riding her guard into Righetti, beating her up and down both flanks to the bell.

R4: Righetti shows versatility, backing off, working behind her jab and luring Kamano to ropes, Stace diligent to the waist, swiping away rights and lefts, but end of minute 1, Righetti clips that clever counter hook of hers off the ropes, putting Kamano wobbly butt, Righetti right hand tight to cheek—she’s digging her hook, fitting it to Kamano’s sternum, jugs, teeth, rolling and covering up to foil Stacy’s receipts, End of minute tiwo, Righetti gently reverses position, putting Kamano’s back to ropes; Stacey stops punching to cover up. breezy final minute, Amanda: she helps herself to gut and ribs, pounding away with short, ripping rights and lefts, bringing her mitts back quick, bumping her shoulder on Kamano to reset.

R5: Righetti ups the tempo, jabbing Stacy to ropes and working her over muscular. Amanda a mechanic in close, using her left shoulder and extended left elbow to constantly nudge and crowd Stacy, then banging away short, bashing combinations. Kamano’s mouth pouted open, eyes going glassy—she’s just leaning forward behind her gloves, taking tidy on temples and jaw, sustaining to the body. Righetti hurting Stacy to the ribcage, hurting her with short, clouting right uppercuts between the mitts—starting to look a beat down as Kiana sits ringside, arms crossed, lips pursed. Break; Kiki up out of her seat to berate Stacy from outside the corner—Kamano bleak, not responding, just staring puffy eyed as Tom tell her to “Get off your fat ass and start working this girl!”

R6: Tough to watch—Kamano gritting her teeth and engaging Righetti toe to toe—Stacy still tough as prison beef and willing, but Amanda’s beating her to punches, tidying her up at close range with combinations. Kamano cut at the hair line, cut above both eyes—Righetti just tattooing her foe with a non-stop barrage of compact wallop. Sustained effort to the breasts from Righetti late—she shoves Kamano up against ropes and hammers away on proud home-town jug. Bell: Stacy slumping, slack jawed, eyes welling up—hard, heartless glare from Righetti as Amanda takes in the damage with a snarl.

R7; Same story: Kamano fighting hard, but Amanda too busy, too quick, too agile. Stacy’s weight out over her legs, not enough head movement—she’s just covering up and waiting her turn as Righetti rings up gaudy 4 and 5 punch combos. Amanda working up quite a sweat under tropical sun, beating her foe loudly to the body, working that tight hook, muscling Kamano the shoulder. Amanda measured, patiently—she’s breaking Stacy down old-school, never getting wild or reckless in pursuit of an early stoppage. Tom up out if her seat and shrieking at Kamano—busted up Stacy stone-faced, not responding.

R8: Righetti shaking off Kamano’s punches now, bearing down on Hawaiian now. Oh those body shots—crippling rips, applied in carving arcs beneath and behind the elbows—Stacy groaning, buckling, retreating with gloves at her temples, Righetti systematic, jerking uppercuts to tits and chin, hooking flanks and jaw, then bodying Kamano back to reset her—it’s an ugly, one sided beating at this point, left uppercut picks up Stacy’s face late, shooting mouthpiece off tired teeth—poor Stacy just rung up, hands stacked up chest and tummy, face just staring into punishment.

R9: Righetti beating down resistance all around the ring, walking Kamano down, attacking her along the ropes, Give’er credit, Kamano’s fighting back, steering punches into Righetti, pushing leather at her, but it’s feeble, shabby fare. Amanda crisp and sure, happy to beat the body to bring Stacy’s hands down, happy to reap a generous harvest if world-class jug when it’s there and consistently clubbing Stacy about her temples. Break: Amanda back to her stool with a  sexy smirk of superiority—she’s using up a fine brunette tonight, savouring it as she would a bottle of vintage Pinot.

R10: Kamano crippled to the body courtesy Righetti’s tearing hooks—Stace mincing backward while folded forward to butt in ropes. Righetti easing in with her shoulder, stacking Kamano upright, then chopping chin the short right, biting the mop-up hook to cheek and KAMANO GOIES DOWN! Stacy sprawling on her face out cold—Righetti strutting away hands held high. KO10 Amanda as Kiana’s up out of her seat, pounding the apron with both hands and screaming “GET UP YOU LAZY b###h!” at solumbering Stace.

After: Crowd pleasing beach performance for Righetti—her blend of youth, skill, and hunger too much for shopworn Kamano at this point. :”It left good to take Stacy apart,” says an unconcerned Righetti in postfight. “I haven’t hit much in months so I’m glad she gave me so many rounds,” Tom reportedly booking Kamano into a Caribbean venue just 6 weeks out from this horrible beatdown, milking the aging Baywatch beauty for everything she’s got left at the tail end of a distinguished career.
