UNIFIED WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT

Posted by simguy on 4/5/2008, 9:25 am

Before: Champ glowing at the podium - Mandy's young, cute, strong - on top of the world. "Things are pretty good right now," pretty brunette admits, "but I want them to stay that way. Berkley's the kind of girl who can take everything away from you in a heartbeat, so I'm definitely focusing in on her. There are things I need to deny her in this fight, and things I want to get on her, so it'll be interesting to see how I can manage it. She's a rough, tough customer alright - but I know I can handle her." Berkley skyrocketing back to prominence - all part of her master plan, according to Liz: "Welterweight needs big, beautiful blondes: I knew all along that I could get a title shot by beating a couple of clapped-out old tramps. I've secured management, and I've got a weak, inexperienced champion in front of me: this is a great opportunity for me to take over the sport - and it's about damn time!" Liz in black bikini, black gloves; golden hair in long ponytail down her back. Moore in dark purple bikini, white gloves; hair in hardworking beach bun.

During R1: Mandy right to work - pair of jabs sets up a jolting right cross to chin: Berkley jerked to her right, knees a-knockin' early - she stumbles away in shock. Moore walking hurt blonde down: more jabs - Mandy dropping 'em Winky Wright style off the shoulder with her elbow in and down - pounding at Elizabeth's startled features. Berkley herded to ropes: Moore stays in touch with the jab, stepping in, then sweeping a right roundhouse deep to Berkley's gut. Liz crying out, pitches forward to clinch: Moore shows strength by chesting big Liz into ropes, pancaking her flat. Mandy on top, bumping and jostling - going tummy with short, cuffing lefts and rights, then pounding her way up-torso with clouting, tightly-clipped swat. Mandy very good on the inside for a big woman - elbows in - chopping and swiping at Berkley's head and body both. Liz stunned - getting clocked and bodied: she proves durable, sponging up a thumping beatdown shutout, but keeping her feet as Mandy roars to a 10-8 without a knockdown.

R2: Mandy out relaxed - she's got Liz hurt and respectful. Moore with weight on back (right) foot as she encroaches patiently behind the jab. She's keeping elbows in at her hips, hands up, with gloves open against the sides of her face. Supple little action on the jab: she steps forward, pops hips a little right; drops the jab off the shoulder with her elbow acting like a hinge down at her hip. Jolting poke does wonders - banging against Liz's prepared defences or astonished face, driving her backward. Mandy deploying heavy right hands in choosy fashion - driving big-girl thump into Berkley's chest or chin with crosses; sweeping right roundhouses against Berkley's paunch or hip. Liz shook and bullied again - still trying to find her legs and get some traction against Moore.

R3: Moore walking Liz down behind that pulverizing patient jab. Liz firing back one-twos and hooks - all blocked by Mandy's relaxed V guard with the hands cupping her face and elbows in together at her tummy. Meanwhile - Berkley's lumping up: Moore's jab landing with thump, knocking Liz's head back. Mandy also beginning to clout at Berkley's arms, reducing her blonde's capacity to conduct offensive operations.

R4: Liz finally able to out-duel Mandy midring. Berkley stepping and pivoting to her left - refusing to let Moore body up and walk her back. Jabs are about even - but that's a big improvement for Liz as she finally scores to chest and face. Whenever possible - Liz punches, then disengages: she's had enough of Mandy swamping her with tummy.

R5: Short, sudden jabs and right hands have Berkley in a bad way: she covers up, stooping forward behind her mitts as Mandy buzzes older gals legs once again. Moore in front - gloves touching top of Liz' head as Berkley's leaning forward: brunette dipping to either side, working the body with luscious, big-girl body blows. Just a gentle nudge of Berkley's head to either side gives Mandy enough room: she's retreating in good order, managing Elizabeth's head, then strapping that midsection thick. Final minute sees Mandy muscle Liz to ropes - palming and pushing at her to stabilize - then Moore pounds away methodical at her foe's breasts and biceps with beefy, two-fisted wallop. Moore just being heavy handed - nothing wild or reckless - just laying on the leather, bodying up as necessary - steadily breaking Berkley down.

R6: Girls fighting in close - Berkley gets her elbows up, smiting away short rights and lefts to Moore's chin and MANDY GOES DOWN! Moore simply scrubbed to her hands and knees - she's blinking in wonder as Berkley struts away all scowls. Creaky 8 Moore - she's shaking her head, clearly buzzed as Liz wades in. Thick beatdown - Berkley to Moore: Liz showing good patience as well - extending her hands to push Mandy against ropes, then whacking her long-armed licks across the waist. Liz in front, cycling her jab into Mandy's raised guard, then placing right hands: Moore's head smashes back over top rope as Berkley splits the mitts; Moore cringes forward as Berkley hooks her midsection. Push and slug, push and slug - Liz very methodical - just standing strong, weight forward, getting herself back into this slugfest.

R7: Mandy stabilizes her front. Moore's chopping little left jab - with the hinge-like elbow near her hip really disruptive: it's a jolting shot, and it's quick, catching Elizabeth looking, time and again. Moore jabbing to close, then bodying up to walk Liz to ropes: Berkley mouthbreathing, looking a little trampled as she ties up behind Moore's arms for ref's breaks. Mandy patiently walking her girl down, jabbing her senseless, bodying her heavy: Moore piling up beefy rights and lefts against offending tummy, biceps, rack and ribs - Liz open-mouthed, forlorn, and rumpled at the bell.

R8: Mandy just sneaking that right hand on Elizabeth's chin off the jab: heavy clout turning Berkley to her right, buckling her legs, forcing her to cover up. Moore leaning into that right hand, getting her back and legs into it - it's a smooth, non-anticipatory punch - especially effective when thrown in concert with the lead jab: Berkley's doing well to absorb it. Mandy hurting Liz, bodying up, walking her to ropes: constant press of Mandy's tummy - the pull of her arms - the bump of her shoulders - making Liz cranky.

R9: Heroic effort from Liz. Lips curled back off her teeth, she denies Mandy midring - jabbing savagely into Moore's V guard to hold her off. Several ringing right hands strafe Mandy's front - again partially blocked - but Moore can't make headway against blonde storm. Liz sliding over to her left - turning Moore: when Berkley's used her legs tonight, she's been able to control her young foe. Even when she's not getting off - Moore's encroaching behind that rock-solid V - walking Liz down, applying pressure at all times.

R10: Moore jabs Liz into stupor; dips in close and jerks a short left uppercut to the body; weaves back onto right foot to pull the hook across Liz' open mouth. Berkley stunned, staring: Moore leans in on front (left) foot to clout a short right to chin, swivelling Berkley's head and drawing shouts from the crowd. Moore bodies up, walks Liz to ropes, makes her take weight: poor Berkley bedraggled - exhausted from the constant effort of pushing against Mandy's farm-girl flesh. Ref issuing breaks as Liz ties up - but Mandy always stepping back in - dropping the jab onto Liz, getting her covered up - then whacking her heavy sidearm rights in the left flank. Down the stretch - Mandy's thudding body blows have Berkley's legs paralyzed: beautiful blonde slumped against ropes, unable to get out of there - soaks up a methodical pounding to bell. UD10 for the winner and STILL champ - Mandy Moore.

After: Moore banging it out of a very game, very good Liz Berkley tonight - it's one of Mandy's most complete performances. "I've got a great group of girls around me," Moore gushes in postfight. "Really - a win like this is a group effort. We broke Elizabeth's game down together, and everyone had good ideas on how to proceed with her. I've worked SO HARD on my jab - I want it to be the best in the division - and tonight, I think it probably was. Liz couldn't do anything with me dropping J on her - she was really discouraged, and that allowed me to get right hands on her with weight. I feel great - that's defence number one under my belt and I can't wait for my next fight!"
