Results: Lookout! / Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Last year's upset victory over Catherine Bell remains Sophie Howard's calling card on this side of the pond but the buxom Merseyside brunette claims she's impressed enough people to maintain a serviceable career without looking back at that FCBA debut performance time and time again. Several members of the media question the Brit's attitude after losing three consecutive bouts that followed the Bell upset and indeed Howard had to travel back to UK to find her winning mojo again before showing up all roaring and ready to go here at the Queendom JMD(D) classic.

Meanwhile Hall of Fame member Jennifer Garner has won more title straps than Howard's had fights in this country and her entrance to jug muggin' competition keeps raising so many eyebrows it's almost too awkward to ask the Texan redhead about it! She supposedly retired from active duty all but FOUR years ago and here she arrives in Miami looking even more impressive than Cat Bell as Howard's potential victim. For the sake of it's rankings even Tigress Uppercut Magazine doesn't want to see Garner's reputation suffer TOO much damage tonight but then again, JMDD takes no prisoners and reduces the most formidable set of bumpers into a complete mess when it's all said and done.

Sophie Howard wears an Union Jack themed bikini top, red knickers & boots and blue gloves. Long dark brown hair straight, tucked behind the ears. Jennifer Garner wears a light green X-shaped monokini with extra strapping across the tummy, black boots and white gloves. Long dark red hair tied in a custom ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

Round 1:
Jennifer uses all her experience to shut out the brunette early and while Sophie's all power, her below par mobility gets exposed as the older of the two women secures a solid connection to the body while flicking repeated strikes to the bottom side of her boobs. Howard just can't stretch her elbows here and tries to wrestle the redhead back to the ropes just to gain seperation but Garner turns it loose and hammers in with more uppercuts up the middle which force the Brit into a swift retreat. Additional single punches keep Howard's defense honest but she completely misjudges her approach and gets picked off in mid distance as well which signals that Jennifer truly means business here tonight despite limited JMDD experience.

Round 2:
Howard needs a big punch to get rolling and she secures one early in the second after a hook to the boobs carried all the way to the chin to stun the redhead on her heels. Immediate follow up allows the Merseyside brunette to rip more punishment from both flanks and has Garner barking in anger but Sophie stays on top of her and keeps slicing the admittedly smaller rack from each side to cave the Texan behind a tight guard. Jennifer isn't the mobile character either but she delivers a couple of solid hooks while trying to avoid more pressure yet another wild swing bounces off her forearms and clips the nose which visibly upsets her in the proccess. Sophie tries to bulldoze the veteran back to the ropes with a feisty jabbing set up the middle but Garner finally regains full balance and wraps the model into a lenghty clinch late in the going to keep her spirits high despite an otherwise ho-hum display.

Round 3:
Sophie's just that little faster in exection now and keeps picking the redhead off in mid range; Garner upset Stephanie McMahon on her JMDD debut but the age difference begins to show here regardless of the actual skillset that clearly favors the Texan. A vicious jabbing set through the middle splits the American's guard and Howard feeds on open target as Jennifer wobbles back onto her heels and fails to react in time when the brunette barges into her solar plexus before another left hook sways her tits from the left side. Garner aches out and slumps against the model's shoulder but doesn't stall things down with another clinch as Sophie riffles through her rack one more time and digs a left hook on the windpipe which takes the sting right out of the redhead... GARNER MUST TAKE A KNEE just to catch her breath back and she got tangled up badly in that exchange. Any proper body shot can turn things around during a fight - especially north side of 130 lbs and Sophie sucks the life out of the Miami audience who clearly didn't see it coming. Thankfully for the Yankee pride, Jennifer's back onto her feet at seven and manages to lock that survival clinch with Howard even getting a warning for an accidental headbutt during a hectic struggle to break free. This kills her momentum for good and no wonder she's looking very upset out there as the Miami audience keeps booing at her for most part of the interval.

Round 4:
Garner's fight plan remains questionable as she tries to drag her opponent into a lenghty stalemate; perhaps she wants to blast Howard away with a classic thunder haymaker but it's a long stretch at this moment with Sophie looking the superior of the two. Both women channel the bumper route but nothing given despite plenty of swinging UNTIL the redhead finds the solar plexus herself and briefly freezes the brunette out. Sophie tries to step back but fails to establish her footing and eats a crisp hook on the money followed by a harpoon to the liver area that finally spins her towards the ropes. Garner's eyes light up after that combo but she steers her efforts against the forearms and doesn't add more juice on the vulnerable spot anymore. She almost shoves the backpedalling Brit through the ropes but has to settle for a breadbasket drive inside the final seconds as Howard avoids the worst of the lot and actually screams out at the American's efforts come the bell: "That's the best U got? Like really?" Garner just shakes her head and keeps her composure which is required by default as the fight threatens to become a real cagey marathon.

Round 5:
Garner digs into her experience again, she tries to eliminate the threat of this fight going deep into the ninth or tenth as that would favor the younger opponent and comes flying out like it IS the tenth to upset Howard's sluggish approach route. A couple of heavy clubs split the middle guard and lift the boobs north before a harpoon blast nails the Merseyside girl on the liver area and bends her to the side with her loudest ache of the night yet. Garner drives in with the follow up, she bounces off the chin to bury the shot on Sophie's jaw and triggers the knees going jelly. Another left hook slices through the collapsing guard and just whips Howard onto her heels but she's lost her footing alltogether with her knees going south... AND DOWN GOES THE ENGLISH BABE... classic hit-the-deck-with-your-butt moment that lifts the spirits of the audience and Garner just stares down at her stunned opponent before shouting at her: "Now that's NOT the best I've got for you, c###!". A quick count indicates Sophie won't be given any leeway on hostile territory but she's up at eight... make that eight and three quarters yet she's shut down during the final minute as Jennifer lands more crisp hooks from point-blank range to sweep the scorecards but she just can't find that extra shot on the liver that would have folded Howard into disarray according to Tigress Uppercut's live timing app.

Round 6:
Half-distance here in Miami and we're a knockdown each but Garner rides the mojo of the comeback assault from the fifth and deploys more midriff busting efforts only for Howard to clinch her into a stalemate after the initial drive just bounced off the guard and failed to throw the Merseyside's finest off her comfort zone. That's an opportunity wasted for the redhead who can't gain enough separation as Sophie ignores the referee's orders to let it go and almost is handed a point-deduction for her survival ordeal that wins here no fans at all here in Florida. It doesn't really matter come the latter half of the round as Jennifer lacks the agile spark and clearly cuts down the work rate while reverting into single hand approach that grazes the brunette's tits but hardly makes any damage. Sophie rides out the defensive boffo to rattle Garner's confidence, a veteran-like stuff from the underrated Brit who surprisingly holds her own in the post-knockdown odds-checker. She bumps into the redhead's jugs after the final bell and wants to ignite more venom around the place; Garner just shoves her back and spits out her gumshield in frustration which only fuels the crowd's negative reaction towards the English guest fighter.

Round 7:
Jennifer realizes she needs to enforce her own terms if she's to take down the shockingly durable British glamour model, Sophie's no pushover like in her early BBU days and requires her opponents to earn the victory but Garner's work rate in the seventh dwindles even further especially when her opening drive gets stuck in a bulletproof vest before Howard channels the response route and hammers in a harpoon combo on the liver area herself to really make the Houston native feel the pressure. Both women slump against each other but while Jennifer tries to hook up with the long-absent uppercut plan, Sophie just lashes out to the gut and gains that precious separation when Garner NEEDS to get out of the phone-booth stance to establish her comfort zone... she wobbles on the left leg and gets nailed on the fly with a right-handed strike, another clubbing hooks finds the monokini knot and sways the redhead's boobs loose... Jennifer makes that cardinal JMDD mistake and looks down at her cleavage to see if a wardrobe malfunction is looming... DON'T LOOK DOWN!!! Too late... Howard hits the home run with a jaw-busting hook and when Garner's head snaps vividly backwards, the arms collapse so the brunette can slice through the shakin' tits with a double combo TO SEND THE REDHEAD TUMBLING DOWN flat on her back moments later! Ugh! And that takes the steam right out of the Hall Of Famer's engine... the count is slow but still too fast for Garner who signals to the ref she's out of air but he can only mercilessly proceed with his job... Oh, dear... this ain't gonna look good on that Hall Of Fame record... KO7 Sophie Howard as the redhead can't stay off her back!!!

AFTER: "Get me some oxygen here, NOOOOWWWWW!!!", Queendom co-host Kat Dennings is first to attend the fallen redhead and the word is that long-time buddy Tess Valmore told her to specifically look after the member of Tractorpull's Hall Of Fame in case of defeat. Meanwhile Brooklyn Decker corners the parading brunette and interrupts the jug twerking that was aimed to calm down the furious audience. A shouting match occurs between the Ohio blonde and Southport's finest during which Brooklyn tells the fellow model to "take her pony show back to England and stop wasting people's money..."

"Nobody wants you here and I bet you got into a threesome with Triple H and Steph just to be on this card. Get lost or else I'll ask Antje Utgaard to finish you off for good at the first possible opportunity!"

"You bytch! You have no right to talk to me like that!"

"Yes, I do. I'm the 21st Century Goddess and you're a cheap corner whore who just got lucky!"

"This isn't the Asylum show... you're just jealous I just beat a Hall Of Famer!"

"I AM the Hall Of Fame... you're just a random card-filler nobody cares about! Wave to the crowd and get lost, this is my final warning..."

During the heated exchange Jennifer Garner is revived from her collapsed attire but needs Dennings' helping hand to leave the ring and avoid the usual humiliation. NOBODY humiliates a Hall Of Famer on Front Street Gym's watch and both Brooklyn and Kat do a perfect job of distracting the victorious Scouse brunette and nearly blow her gasket in the proccess. However Sophie has enough brains behind that 34G set to realize that if she starts a brawl to prove her point versus Decker's rude behaviour, she might be banned from future Queendom exposure. And that's the worst case senario for the former BBU journeywoman-turned-JMDD upset-maker. The jug muggin' industry hasn't seen the last of Sophie yet and the leaves the ring still shouting at no one in particular with Brooklyn & Kat sharing a laugh in the center of the ring: "Tell Jessica I said hi!", Kat allows herself a little dig at a woman she otherwise completely ignores on her manager's orders but Howard is fuming too much to take notice.

Final result: Sophie Howard def. Jennifer Garner KO7.
