Before: "If Helfer touched this kid up," Ashley boasts in prefight, "I'll destroy her. I've got all the skill of a Tricia Helfer, plus the power and killer instinct: that's what Adrianne's letting herself into. Ask me, her management's looking to squeeze her dry: you don't make an Ashley Scott date for a novice unless you're trying to cash out. Whatever: I'm just here to get a girl beat, not worry about her so-called 'career'."
Pallicki unrattled by Scott's harshness - but Adrianne looking at a slump and knowing that Ashley's a tough out. "I'm feeling real pressure in my career for the first time," Adrianne admits. "Scott is another experienced, high-performance type fighter - but I HAVE beaten those girls before, and I just have to get back to that mindset. It's time I shut Shannon and Mary Elizabeth out and just focus on punching. If I'm hitting Ashley consistently in this fight - if I'm scuffing her up and making her work - good things will happen."
Ashley in hot pink bra and panties; white gloves; hair in ponytail with bangs framing face. Pallicki in forest green bikini; black gloves.
During R1: Scott jabbing pesky - sometimes just prodding her left at Pallicki's mouth: it's all about setting up slinging right hands. Scott scoring righty over Adrianne's left shoulder; Scotty also whacking vicious single-shot buggy-whip right hands sidearm against Pallicki's left flank, then legging away. Adrianne hopping forward, trying to locate Scott via the jab: Ashley proving supple/elusive.
R2: Pallicki solves Scott's slickness with a no-nonsense, sloping right hand pounded straight and palm-down against Ashley's stomach. Instant distress on Scott's pretty face - she cringes away in hurt. Pallicki the clear aggressor, walking Ashley down. Scott employing every smokescreen known to boxing: don't-hurt-me-jabs; sudden direction-changing pivots; stepping in close with her left shoulder against Adrianne's ribs while pivoting-right to turn her. Pallicki can't draw another bead as Scott proves a cutey when hurt.
R3,4: Scott boxing smoothly, patiently. Scotty changing levels - stooping to jab at Adrianne's tanned tummy, then scooting out of range. Scott weaving side to side, ever-supple on her hips: she's slipping Pallicki's heavy jab, lashing receipts to Adrianne's ribs and cheekbones. Scott using feints to shake pursuit, then sudden counter-attacks: Pallicki coming forward throughout, never hurt - but cleanly outboxed and bamboozled as Ashley fights her fight.
R5: Pallicki sustains offence for the first time. All starts with that booming, straight right hand down into Ashley's sinewy body: Pallicki doing a better job of following up any initial success from such strikes. Adrianne rough with Ashley, palming her shoulders, shoving her around: Scott unable to hold canvas when Pallicki's pushing on her. Adrianne staying on the midsection - crowding close, then letting her hands lap at Scotty's svelte ribs. Ashley grimacing - spinning off and retreating: Scott unable to mount any offence as Pallicki imposes will through strength.
R6: Nothing fancy - Pallicki pouring in long, straight right hands down into the body, finding and hurting Ashley - then stepping in close. Pallicki with chin out over Ashley's left shoulder - Adrianne using her own left shoulder to bump Scotty's chest: Pallicki lifting low-slung leather up into Ashley's besieged ribs and tummy. Scott an able counter-puncher inside - frequently bumping Pallicki, then stroking her clever hooks or choppy right hands to face. Pallicki maintains pressure, taking what she must, in order to stay atop her blonde.
R7: Scott stooping to jab Pallicki's body, trying to spread Adrianne out a little, negotiate a little distance. With distance, Scott's feints, pivots and superior reflexes more of a factor: she's able to walk Adrianne in, beat her to punches. Ashley nifty with that left shoulder - crouching in close with it, pushing on Adrianne while pivoting-right: Scott routinely turns Pallicki midring, making big girl move her feet. Not a lot of damage - Scott swapping power for control as she mesmerizes Pallicki bell to bell.
R8: Pallicki won't be finessed. Adrianne jabbing to Ashley's chest; driving in the hard right hand to body: Pallicki backing Ashley up, punishing her torso. Adrianne disciplined - hooking the waist/batting right hands off Ashley's flank: Pallicki knows Scott's head is hard to hit. Adrianne hounding Ashley - chasing her around the perimeter: Pallicki unable to put Scott ropebound, but landing several heavy wallops - including stroking whacks against Scotty's modest jugs. Ashley scowling: she's being bullied this round, stalking angrily to her corner at bell.
R9: Pallicki extending on power to the body, pounding Ashley's sleek chassis: Scotty's had enough. Minute mark - Scott licks a supple left uppercut to trunks - doubles up to make sure Adrianne's hurt. Ref stops the action - pushing Ash away with a stern finger waggled: he'll give panting Pallicki long as she needs to pull herself together. Adrianne hands on hips, taking deep breaths, blinking away tears: after a minute, she's ready to go, but Scotty's stolen the initiative. Ashley on her toes, circling clockwise - pulsing out that educated jab. Scotty turning Pallicki midring - stepping in with the shoulder/pivot-right routine to change directions and mess with Adrianne's footwork.
R10: Pallicki pushing hard up the middle: sense of urgency as Adrianne starts trying for Ashley's chin. Scott sliding back, evading blows - she walks Pallicki into a gorgeous counter shot at the minute mark. Scotty leaning forward, then torquing torso-right while shifting weight to back (right) foot, turning her lithe body into a lashing palm-up hook that takes Adrianne viciously to chin. PALLICKI'S ROCKED! Adrianne suddenly destitute - nearly sits down - manages to stagger out of the shot instead, propelling herself ragdoll to ropes. Scotty grinning, loping in: OH she buggywhips the right hand in above Adrianne's hip. Ash loose-limbed, hands down, feet wide apart: she's lickin' and lashin' - tearing away as poor Pallicki sits in ropes, featuring a shabby earmuff. Pelting, limber wallop beats and lathers at Pallicki...then Ashley steps away BEAMING - turning her back to wave with both hands to the crowd en route to midring. Pallicki lurching off ropes, but she's a chin-checked wreck: walking on her heels, eyes blinking, just willing herself forward. Scotty won't play: leggy blonde keeps her distance, spinning out the clock - just a few playful buggywhip right hands delivered fly-fisherman style against Adrianne's breasts for show. Comes back competitive UD10, lissome Ashley Scott.
After: Scott glowing: she takes the mic from the MC, starts hamming it up in victory. "Guys...guys in the truck - can you bring up that big hook I caught her with? Adrianne - baby don't leave yet: you should see this. (Jumbotron starts slow-mo replay of Ashley's slinging hook that hurt Pallicki late). "OH my - did you SEE that? Oh my GOD, I stroked her! Look how bendy-backed I am there - just fetching her pretty! Damn: that's a hook for the ages folks. Fighters - girls, listen: now that I've softened her up, Adrianne's seriously vulnerable. Go right at her. Alana - even though you're a cow, I'm telling you: sink your teeth into this one while you can. Krista? Pounce baby - get on her soon as you can. We can get this chick to 8 straight losses in no time guys - she's defenceless! Ring her up!"
Pallicki guarding her emotions, but glancing into the audience from her corner: hungry, brazen looks from lightweights in attendance. Sarah Lancaster; Ashley Newbrough; Alana De La Garza - on and on - every one of them seeking eye contact with young Adrianne; each girl practically licking her lips at the succulent scent of doubt in the air. No more mouthwatering sight to an FCBA vixen than a managed fighter in a slump: Pallicki needs to stand up for herself soon, and with vigor.
