Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Donna D'Errico's boxing comeback ended in a swift punchout defeat at the hands of Joanna Krupa back in July but the former Baywatch starlet vows to bounce back in style against Denise Richards tonight. The former Bond girl followed a busy cougar schedule herself until back-to-back losses to Kate Beckinsale & Charlize Theron proved too difficult to overcome and send Richards to lick her wounds for several months. However Donna just doesn't bring enough to the table to prevent the Illinois native from chasing another victory. Despite a lenghty cold streak Denise remains the betting favorite and claims she will "knock that silly blonde cow right back to Alabama!"

Beach boxing rules seemingly favor the former Baywatch bunny but it's not 1997 anymore so it's anyone's guess whether she can deliver the goods on The Bahamas sand. Let's find out, shall we?

Donna D'Errico wears a cut-out red one-piece bikini set & white gloves. Long blonde hair in loose waves. Denise Richards wears a blue bikini set with red trim & black gloves. Long light brown hair in loose waves. Both women are barefoot. The fight is schedule for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Donna shows more jabbing intent in the early stages and outworks the fellow cougar in a close range dispute before driving a big hook into Denise's mouth that drops the younger woman on her heels but there is no genuine follow up so Richards manages to escape trouble and spins away from the blonde's strike zone. Donna leaps after her foe but struggles to land her punches in mid-range and spends the second minute in a fruitless pursuit while Denise seems more than satisfied dancing around in pure avoidance until a couple of taunts from D'Errico force her into a meaningful response. She bangs a quick double over the top but eats a stinger on the jaw as Donna thrives in the counter-punching display and bullies the brunette onto the ropes where she adds a harpoon series on the navel to fold Richards into spasms come the bell.

Round 2:
Denise finally gets going in a proper slugging manner and beats Donna for a quick overhand before driving a right-on-right into her mouth as well. Donna wobbles to her heels with a quiet whimper and digs her feet in the sand which allows the Illinois native to bash her from both flanks in otherwise chaotic manner. The desire is there alright but precision is not and Denise's brief slugging spell ends in a clinching stalemate as D'Errico prefers to weather the sudden storm this way. Both cougars wrestle for supremacy in the middle of the ring before a clash of heads drops Donna back and enables Denise to smash a right/elft combo on the mouth. She drives another good hook on the nose which forces the blonde to think better off it thereafter. Cue in some taunts from Richards now as we're even after two.

Round 3:
Denise has realized there's not much Donna can throw at her and the blonde appears to be rattled by the early combo that crashes into her face before the brunette loops a left hook on the temple that slumps the former Baywatch bunny into more spasms. Richards charges ahead with more jabbing effort and backs the older actress onto the ropes where she tries to plug her in the breasts to work around the desperate earmuff. She manages to drill a couple of really solid shots but gets sucked into another clinching stalemate as Donna becomes really desperate instead of maybe lashing out at her opponent. Ugh! Both cougars look soft when getting hit and Denise ought to make the most of this opportunity but she only slams a couple of kidney shots out of shear frustration and gets herself into trouble with the ref instead. Donna is lucky to escape the trap at the ropes but cuts a spooked figure when the brunette tries to connect with a chaotic lunge in the closing stages.

Round 4:
Richards kicks up plenty of sand as she races into another jabbing assault but bounces off the blonde's forearms and misses on the follow through shooting above Donna's shoulder. Meanwhile the Alabama native whacks her from the inside and punishes the exposed cleavage before a nifty hook catches Denise flush on the jaw and makes her gurgle in pain upon impact. Another looping cross finds the nose and sends the brunette into shimmy shake mode before D'Errico steps up to slam a nasty harpoon on the solar plexus THAT FOLDS RICHARDS ONTO HER KNEES!!! Uh-oh!!! Cougar division's poor resistance comes to the fore again as Denise drops onto the sand amid loud spasms and bends her head against the loose surface as she's simply unable to catch her breath anymore before it's too late. Uh-oh!!! She tries to get up at seven but spits her gumshield in frustration and drops onto all four again which gives Donna D'Errico KO4 victory!!!

AFTER: Donna can't hide her delight and sports a huge smile on her face before waving to the fans across the bleachers. She kicks sand into Denise's face but the fellow cougar is unable to respond and only rolls onto her back still trying to regain her breathing rhythm. This fight took a bad turn for D'Errico after a promising opener and she basically avoided a swift defeat only because Richards couldn't land a proper slugging series all night. However a win is a win even if artistic impression value remains rock bottom!
