Before: Shue the latest established figure to get the opportunity to lay the smack down ion upstart Bobbie Phillips. Elisabeth comes in a 3-1 favourite, and is confident during pre-fight, if not bellicose. Phillips is demure during the interviews, but seems very calm, and as always, arrives at weigh in sensational shape, Bobbie prone to slug--if she can stay disciplined, she has the reach and skills to make things difficult for Shue.


Black two-piece gymnastics gear for Shue, purple 2 piece aerobics wear for Phillips.

During R1: Shue gets the jump inside, puts her head of Phillips chest and churns away at the brunette’s midsection with both hands. Phillips with her trademark bitchy snarl, soaks it up and can’t get off this round. Corner wails at her during the break to throw the uppercut when Elisabeth crowds her.

R2,3: it’s good advice as Bobbie answers Shue’s first round shutout with 2 of her own. Bobbie fighting carefully, stands her ground and swats at Elisabeth coming in with tight left hooks, then turns the left over into short uppercuts. Ali-style that back Shue off. Once Bobbie has taken away the inside game, she goes to work with her stiff jab, circling Shue and looking for long right hand opportunities. Shue not hurt in these rounds, but takes a lot of leather, fighting a style she can’t win.

R4: Bobbie starts to dial in with her heavy right hand, with predictable results. After taking the shot reasonably well in the first minute, Shue starts to fall apart when nailed midway through the round, and she stumbles to all fours as Bobbie clouts her jaw with repeated rights. Elisabeth up at 8, covers up and stands in front of Bobbie, allowing the big brunette to slug away with both hands to the bell, Shue shaky legged at the finish.

R5: Shutout for Beth as she slips the jab, counters with round punches to the body, then fights off Bobbie’s chest for the remainder of the round. Phillips ineffective on the inside, does a lot of grabbing and holding Elisabeth behind the neck. Shue pounding away downstairs makes Bobbie’s body cringe towards the end of the round.

R6: The uppercut features for Bobbie again this round, and once again, Shue stumbles back, taking on the way, then taking on the way out. Shue goes back to pivoting and trying to pick up Bobbie’s punches as Phillips goes back to jabbing and crossing. Another shutout for Bobbie as she is harming Shue about the checks and eye with sneaky quick shots.

R7: Disaster strikes again as Elisabeth comes leaping in, gets caught 3 swatting hook, freezes, gets nailed a left uppercut in the moiuth, and starts to stumble backwards. Phillips chases Shue back with lunging lefts and rights and puts Beth down on her rear end in a chaotic rush. Shue gets up, but takes fearful beating. Phillips circling, really stepping into her right hand to the face of Shue, coming back with a whipping left hook to the ear. Shue in desperate trouble eats another swinging 3 punch combination and kind of folds slow mo to her knees, eyes glassy. She rises and folds to the ropes, bending dangerously forward--and Phillips indulges in spanking blows to Shue’s lower back, earning a warning for kidney punching.

R8,9,10: It is a desperate and beaten Elisabeth Shue who gamely plods out for each of these rounds, to get a shutout and beat up every single round. By the tenth,  it is clear that the larger and stronger Phillips is carrying Shue, tormenting her from the outside, hitting her with savage right hands, but not pressing to finish, the beating goes on and on as Elisabeth goes the distance, but it is cruel display from the up and coming Phillips. Unanimous decision for Bobbie, who pulverizes Elisabeth Shue in one sided fashion.

After: Phillips is censured for carrying, although not fined. This was a unique bout in that the judges had every round scored a shutout for one or the other combatants, When Bobbie started to land those crashing rights, Elisabeth just couldn’t respond, soaking up bomb after bomb and struggling to finish.
