BEFORE: Righetti's had her breakout and meteoric rise: now she seeks to consolidate her power, branching out to dominate the longstanding welter names. "It's exciting," says redheaded phenom in prefight. "Just to have the word 'dominant' associated with my fighting is a thrill - really motivates me to keep smashing anyone they put in the ring with me. Torrie's no exception: she's a former champ and owns the best fighting physique in boxing in my opinion: I just want to hammer her!" Wilson nonplussed: she's made a career out of upsetting favoured big girls. "Remember when Kristianna Loken was unstoppable?" Torrie says at podium. "Who came in and exposed her? Yeah: Torrie Wilson. I'm the answer to all these strong-bodied girls who come up and think they're going to steamroll the division. Amanda's a package, but she's no more daunting than Loken was at the start. I'll beat her down to size in short order!"

During R1: Fighters meet midring, exchanging heavy jabs. Torrie slightly faster, showing southpaw right jabs followed by high left crosses forcing Amanda onto the defensive. Righetti covering up high, leaning in and countering with jabs of her own to Torrie's jugs, using her greater reach to regain the offensive. Wilson getting peppered, forced to work her way to the inside to punish Righetti’s core, slow her down. Wilson leaning under a high Righetti left hook, slamming her with a sharp right hook to the ribs stunning her. Amanda instinctively clinches, regaining her composure, holds until ref breaks it up. Second Minute- Torrie seething, charging forward, swinging recklessly with high jabs and crosses from an orthodox stance now - Amanda covering up high, weaving, looking for an opening, Wilson throws a high left hook sailing over Righetti’s head: Amanda plants her feet and lands a knocking, straight jab to Torrie’s forehead…. WILSONS ROCKED!  Torrie staggering backward, covering up earmuff, trying to shake off the cobwebs, Amanda storms forward, Righetti tearing into Wilson’s firm belly with punishing hooks, Torrie trying to clinch but flung back into the ropes, Amanda hurling left/right sequences to the body then testing Wilson's guard, Torrie a shambles, legs wobbly, Amanda lands a high hook through Torrie's flimsy guard catching her flush against the cheek: Wilson’s guard lowering as she’s out on her feet. Amanda turning over a withering hook, clobbering Wilson's head back over top rope - punching mouthpiece high into air. Torrie's face blank, hands at her stomach as she topples to her right, crashing to shoulder and rolling chest-down. Wilson game, pushing up to rise at six only to fall back into the ropes at 9, Torrie unable to beat the count. TKO1 Righetti.

After: Amanda delighted - cheerfully watching poor Torrie try to shake off the hurt: pundits reminded of Tyson/Spinks as Righetti makes her loudest statement yet at welterweight. "Torrie's the girl they bring in when they want you beat," Amanda gushes in postfight. "I just wasn't having ANY of it! Stopping Torrie in the first round? I rule with an iron fist!"
