FCBA NON-TITLE LIGHTWEIGHT TOURNAMENT

Round 3

Posted by Simguy on 5/24/2003, 8:21 am.

Great style contrast as Conqueror of Theron (Dunning) meets the conqueror of Garner (Hurley). Liz the slick counterpuncher--she’ll get part of what she wants as Debbe comes forward all night, but Dunning also happy in that Liz isn’t likely to back her up. Double D needs to keep it compact, ramp up the output and fight that urge to KO Liz with every punch. Hurley in metallic blue off the shoulder bikini, Debbe in purple bra style athletic bikini.

During R1: Dunning aggressively forward, hands at chest--she’s slugging sharp, bringing her hands back to her chest as she bends side to side with haymakers. Hurley stepping out, blocking high, moving right and just flicking her jab into Deb’s wide open face or upper chest to disrupt brunette rhythm. Brisk action round--Hurley managing Debbe rather than attacking her, luring her around the ring, jabbing and feinting her--Liz takes the opener on ring generalship.

R2: Hurley stepping back, circling in good order--she’s making Debbe miss over the top, then countering her hard touches in the body. Liz dipping, snapping her right hook off Deb’s ribs, or sometimes rolling her torso bang both fists in tight licks off American ribs, Dunning wading through it, taking a lot of cleaning punching--gritting her teeth and swinging harder. Not the right things to do--Dunning hears it in her corner.

R3: Deb trying to unleash her ferocity, but at every step--she’s missing or getting her face spanked Liz’s jab. Hurley stepping right, swiveling and pivoting low, licking at Debbe body as American continues to wail away head shots to minimal effect. By the final minute--Dunning’s breathing hard--slender body’s shipped a lot of leather through 3 as Hurley’s found a rhythm.

R4: Devastating body shots in the first minute visibly weaken Debbe--legs are sluggish, hands drooping, and she’s still coming forward, trying for Hurley’s chin. Liz wheeling right, eyes bright with torture--she’s shocking Deg the lead left hand on the nose to compliment the licking righty hooks under the elbow, or doubled up hook on the ear. Final minute--Liz lures Deb to the ropes, showing the American the closed right shoulder. Deb swinging for the fences--Liz rolling to her left to slip, then uncoiling the screened left counter off the ropes--Hurley bending low to the right side in follow through and DEBBE GOES DOWN! Dunning a ruin as she struggles to get off her side, finally climbing the ropes at 10. Ref doesn’t like what he sees--this thing waved off for a TKO4 Liz Hurley.

After: Hurley dismantling Debb with a frightening clinical display of counterpunching power. Liz victimizing Dunning’s toned body, ravaging the advancing American while staying clear of Debbe’s hopeful fists--Double D just at sea trying to find the elusive Brit. Boos from the pro-Dunning crowd as Liz helps herself in post fight--shabby walk of shame for blubbery Dunning--Liz strong to the final.
