Before: Ryan staying with the A list for opponents, doesn’t get any tougher than The Scogger. Tracy long, lean and mean, with all the offensive tools and the toughness to back it up—hopes to catch Ryan in lull as the blonde has struggled to impress of late. Jeri looking to get focused and put Tracy in second place—two motivated, well-schooled pros facing off. Scoggin in ponytail, powder blue bikini, Ryan in red bandeau bikini.

R1: Ryan numbing Tracy’s face with POUNDING left jabs to open, actually has Scoggins staggering from the stick. Jeri putting together a snappy right uppercut, left hook off the jab ends the first minute with Scoggins staring in shock. Ryan hunting her girl down all over the ring—Tracy recovered somewhat and fighting well in retreat—Ryan’s round as Tracy looks a little shaky at the bell.

R2,3: Ryan just going about her business—walking Tracy down, stamping the jab out and turning those sudden, short right hands that have Scoggins stumbling back in disarray. Tracy having trouble adjusting to the compact force of Jeri’s blows—brunette looks confused as she retreats, fighting in spots, but hardly enough to discourage Ryan,

R4: Tract finally shaking off the punishment, getting her legs moving, giving Jeri angles to think about and the fight gets easier as Ryan stops moving her hands. Tracy able to step around behind her own telephone pole jab—nit it’s Ryan’s face getting spanked as Tracy deals.

R5: Shutout Ryan as she keeps coming up the middle, driving in off that back foot to snap chopping right hands hard against Tracy’s sternum or jaw—Scoggins reacting late starts to wince as Ryan lands with authority, follows up with the shoulder to keep Tracy moving back.

R6: Shutout Ryan—Scoggins sinking to the ropes for the first time and covering up—Jeri getting off for long stretches, clubbing her fists wide to Tracy’s shiny sides, prying open the guard with thudding jabs between the mitts and spanking face with the capper chopping right, all shoulder. Late in the round—Jeri shoving and slugging, bodying up between combinations—blonde suddenly twists her torso in behind a jarring right uppercut to the chin—Scoggins wobbly butt has to hang on. Tract in bad shape is saved by the bell as Jeri pushes her way clear.

R7: Scoggins recovering nicely, steps back in good order to walk Jeri into punches, picking the blonde up with a biting hook on the ear, and dropping the right hand down onto Jeri’s face. Midway through the round, Tracy luring Jeri into punishment,, and a pounding right on the mouth has Ryan paralyzed—follow up right on the eyes hurts her and a big left hook on the jaw jerks her a quarter turn to the left. Tracy mauling Jeri to the ropes and walking lefts and rights upside the head—all Scoggins to the bell as she tears it up—Ryan busted up and hurting for the first time.

R8: Tracy still using the fade well, taking a half step back and nailing Jeri with right hands as the blonde falls forward. Crushing right hands add up—midway through the fight, Jeri’s legs almost give way as she steps wrong, and Tracy is on her again. All Scoggins down the stretch as she bodies Jeri to the ropes, sticking close, curling her punches up underneath Ryan’s breasts and heaping on the hurt. Jeri woozy at the bell—Scoggins swaggering en route to her corner.

R9: Jeri gutting it out, doubles up the jab and retakes the initiative—Scoggins cringing and backing away as Ryan pitches straight rights to the ribcage, then walking the brunette down as Tracy retreats. Scoggins flat footed, fighting in spots, but girls trade right hands to Jeri’s benefit. Scoggins looking worn, puffy at the bell, knows she needs the knockout to win.

R10: Tracy makes it interesting in the final stanza—POUNDING the left jab into Jeri’s eyes, has Ryan frozen on the end of the punches. Classic Scoggins, circling, doubling the jab and coming over with the right cross—Ryan’s face and guard doing all the catching as Scoggins rolls to the shutout. Ryan punched groggy as she squares up, lifts her mitts and takes—but the decision comes back 6 rounds to 4 Jeri.

After: Ryan hugging a visibly disappointment and shopworn Tracy Scoggins after a bruising, competitive fight—brunette dug deep to take 3 of the last 4 rounds but just couldn’t make up the stagger. Good gritty win for Ryan, standing up to the adversity when it came and coming through with the goods.
