Minka Kelly vs Arielle Kebbel
(Lioness Club of America vs FCBA Independent)
(51-26-1, 47 KO vs 0-2)
Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago


BEFORE: "The message is loud and clear. I'm going for the Hall of Fame and I need wins! Nothing but wins!", Minka Kelly dismisses the media buzz she should make one last run at the divisional straps instead of booking a fight against an unheralded free agent like Arielle Kebbel. Nina Dobrev is the Lioness bantamweight Alpha and that's unlikely to change anytime soon - not that Minka has time on her side by any means either.

Meanwhile Arielle enjoyed a couple of trips to the Asylum where she held her own despite predictably losing both times. She promises to give the fellow brunette a real challenge tonight which could lead into more opportunities going forward. It's a bold assumption according to Erin Andrews in the booth but nobody likes to admit defeat even before the opening bell rings and Kebbel is no exception.

Minka Kelly wears a leopard print crop top, black hotpants & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Arielle Kebbel wears a white bikini top, short denim microskirt & black gloves. Long dark brown hair with blonde dye tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Arielle knows she's up against it so she tries to make the most out of her opportunity; Minka's been guilty of slow starts before and it's literally no different here as she gets whacked on the chin repeatedly and struggles to embrace the free agent's early push. Arielle lacks precision but her work load alone forces Kelly into a stubborn defense that lingers on until the second minute. Kebbel barks in her efforts as she loops one punch after another however Minka bails out into mid-range safety which Arielle just can't control anymore. She cuts thin air during a hectic albeit fruitless pursuit while Minka dances around on her toes in supreme avoidance. LCA coach Eva Mendes doesn't like it but Minka only gives her a classic death stare at the bell in "I know what I'm doing" fashion.

Round 2:
Arielle tries to follow up with pure work rate alone but this time she runs into a southpaw buzzsaw as Minka drops the hammer and hauls in a couple of nasty hook on the lips that slow the free agent down. Arielle's footwork doesn't inspire much confidence and she gets glued to the spot when Kelly connects with a rare body assault the free agent never saw coming. Ugh! Kebbel bites on the clinching tactics but she gets picked off with the loose arm as Minka drives her onto the ropes and keeps piercing the exposed area. Arielle head butts her across the nose which only makes the Irish brunette more angry so the targeted ribcage soaks up more punishment down the stretch and leaves Kebbel gasping for air come the bell. 

Round 3:
Minka ducks underneath Arielle's looping series and cashes in with the ribcage assault again; this proves to be a really vulnerable spot for the younger actress who bellows out behind a low guard but still gets thumped on the chin when Kelly spots the obvious target. It's time for the Lioness brunette to take the fight from the front and she bullies a chaotic opponent onto the ropes where Kebbel tries to respond from behind the guard but lacks precision wholesale and eats one cruel punch after another. Minka doesn't even work the uptempo magic yet but it's enough to keep Arielle wrapped under an earmuff guard for remainder of the round which is exactly what the Brandenton crowd hoped to witness here tonight.

Round 4:
Another futile jabbing effort from Kebbel earns her a nasty hooking response over the top with Minka sending punches straight up the middle. Arielle wobbles onto her heels with a loud whimper and tries to find respite in mid-range but she's no match for Kelly's lithe footwork and bounces onto the ropes with a desperate earmuff while the older brunette BELTS her on the belly button and folds into spasms... Minka glues her mitts into the exposed liver and there's nothing Kebbel can do about it... Minka plugs a triple harpoon on the money WHICH SENDS ARIELLE ONTO HER KNEES amid paninful spasms... The Florida native drops onto all fours half way through the count and that's all she wrote, folks! KO4 Minka Kelly!!!

AFTER: Strictly business victory for the Lioness Club's best southpaw but there's no time to celebrate as Minka has a night plane trip scheduled with the Fight Night Live event in Madison Square Garden next on her deck: "Told ya, I'm going for that Hall of Fame entry! I can fight twice within a 48 hour span and nobody's gonna call me out over this! Kira Kosarin must be counting her chickens, I bet she thinks it's gonna be sooo easy but think again, kid! I've got some tricks up my sleeve so watch out for the upset!" (laughs).

Meanwhile the Lioness attention switches to Chloe Grace Moretz who is notoriously close to that big money contract with the Bradenton stable. You just don't relegate Minka Kelly to the undercard unless you have a very good reason for it!

Official Result: Minka Kelly def. Arielle Kebbel KO4.
