Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Erin Andrews reckons Missy Peregrym and Odette Yustman are two of the most natural opponents so it's truly odd they's only met once before, in a largerly forgotten July 2010 contest where Missy counterpunched herself to a KO5 success. Both women have improved a lot since then - even though Peregrym was a bantamweight powerhouse back in those days - and have settled in as reliable elite members of an otherwise slumping lightweight division. Sure enough, with Kate Upton moving up to welters and Erica Durance not getting any younger, Missy and Odette offer the best challenge to the 130 lbs dominant Front Street Gym outside of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Yvonne Strahovski (whose absence from this Stable War has raised many questions around Ann Arbor).

Missy and Odette are two of the mild-mannered members of each stable, one shouldn't expect them losing their temper in classic Hudgens/Lowndes grudge fashion. It's a competitive rivalry and a great deal of respect is shown before the fight however because the Lookouts can clinch the stable war in case of Peregrym's victory, the Canadian does look more animated in her corner and vows to knock Odette's head off in a quick chat with Elisha Cuthbert: "No worries, she's going down! I've done this before!"

Missy Peregrym wears a green bikini top, black knickers and silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. Odette Yustman wears a navy blue bikini set and black gloves. Long black hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Missy's well known for her sublime punching power but she meets her match in Odette's world-class defense and the early exchanges fail to bring the Canadian the intended break-through. She drills her shots straight into Odette's body but gets caught over the top with very accurate jabs and then bounces off the low guard which enables Yustman to actually dominate the close range tussle through punishing half-uppercuts that clip the breasts a little too often for comfort. Missy switches her targets down the stretch and looks to nail the American with a classic head bomb but her execution leaves a lot to be desired and Yustman leans on her with a late jabbing rally that pierces the midsection and has Peregrym gasping in discomfort at the bell.

Round 2:
Odette weaves around Missy's aerial attack during the opening minute but the Canadian improves her targeting this time and lands a couple of heavy hooks on each temple which visibly stuffs Yustman on her heels and allows the older brunette to whack her straight up the middle shortly afterwards. Missy barks in her efforts to dominate the briefly subdued opponent and does exceptionally well to split the fellow brunette's arms which lifts Yustman's boobs and sends her backing into the ropes. A half-hearted hooking response from the back foot goes nowhere and Missy traps her opponent with a cross hook double that nails Odette on the lips and caves her in behind a high earmuff. Peregrym drops low and delivers vicious harpoons around the American's elbows which sink the Lioness girl even further and renders the final minute into a one-sided beating. Ugh! Odette's slumped on the ropes underneath the Missy's onslaught and only battles herself to safety after a blatant clinching effort which even the referee can't deal with before the bell.

Round 3:
Missy enforces the mid-range exchange and loops more promising hooks around Odette's head which means the California brunette has to revert into her famous footwork techniques which slightly ease off the pressure come the one minute mark. However Missy's fully in the attacking groove now and stalks the younger brunette with repeated overhand bombs; she outworks Yustman during the second minute but gets blocked when she tries to switch downstairs for a proper body assault and gets clinched again with Odette wrestling her back to the ropes to catch some respite. This time the ref is on top of this stalemate and Missy's smart enough to turn the fellow brunette against the turnbuckle and blast her with a brutal cross on the lips immediately after the command. Ugh! Suddenly Yustman gets trapped in the corner and loses the slugging war of attrition which boosts Peregrym's stock when she hands the Lioness rival a bloody fat lip and snaps her head back with ferocious strenght right at the death. Yustman buckles under the Canadian heat and yelps a little louder to indicate she's perfectly alright here, some of the Lookout fans in the stands think that Odette got saved by the bell here but the California girl still gives the rampant Canadian a nasty death stare before she walks back to coach Claudia Schiffer in the LCA corner.

Round 4:
Yustman tries to beat Peregrym with her own weapon and engages in a surprising overhand exchange rather than seeking more respite through her outright superior defensive skills. She snaps Missy's head back with the initial drive and pumps immediate follow up on the left brow ridge which neutralizes the Canadian's aggressive response. Both women refuse to yield an inch here and Erin Andrews thinks it actually costs Peregrym a good opportunity to gather her thoughts. She leans forward on Yustman but leaves her feet behind and doesn't carry enough power behind her hooking approach... and Odette beats her for a cracking hook on the chin and sticks another uppercut on the solar plexus moments later which makes the Canadian squeal in pain. A left hook then follows through on the right eye and tears a patch underneath it... Missy wobbles forward with a loud yelp and fails to apply the clinching rescue so Odette SLAMS a mammoth right hand on the jaw which half-spins the older brunette with eyes closed on the spot and DROPS HER FACE-DOWN ON THE CANVAS moments later! Nobody saw this coming and Peregrym simply got smoked big time here! She spits out her gumshield and tries to lift herself off both elbows but suddenly collapses back face down and releases one final spasm of pain before accepting the ineviteable outcome! Shocking KO4 Odette Yustman in one-punch fashion!!!

AFTER: The entire Lookout entourage is stunned by Peregrym's sudden demise but she really got caught with an epic punch right there! Odette yells out straight into Elisha Cuthbert's face and mocks her early prediction: "Not bad for a nice girl like me, huh? Did you bet on this one? I'm sooooo sorry to spoil your parade, bytch!" It's very rare to see the soft-spoken Odette lose her temper like that but she really wanted to prove Cuthbert wrong ever since Minka Kelly told her how low the Lookout blonde rates her chances in a straight-forward clash of styles against Missy Peregrym.

Yustman remains visibly upset when talking to Erin Andrews after the fight: "There's just no love for a good defense in the FCBA anymore! So I knew I had to beat Missy with her own weapon and boy, did she go down fast there! I pulled a Missy on Missy herself. Yeah, it sucks for her but at least I silenced that arrogant #### Cuthbert! I know these Canadians can be very annoying - hi, Jessica, I still love you - but I felt like Paris and Michelle already ruled me out as a serious contender. Heck, if Missy knocked me out like that, they'd be all over the news demanding another title shot. Good luck with that! Oh and before I forget, my manager wants everyone to know how we admire Yvonne Strahovski, it's a shame she couldn't be here tonight and well, I don't know if I'd drop her like that. I think she has a little tougher chin than Missy! (laughs)"

Final result: Odette Yustman def. Missy Peregrym KO4.
