Before: Jennifer Morrison going the way Hilarie Burton and other ingénues have--taking tough competition in order to build real skills and pave the way for a championship future. “I’m not interested in pounding out Tara Reid and letting my publicist work his magic with the results.” Morrison proclaims at the dais. “I’m already better than the so-called names in the FCBA, but to get better than the other half, I want to fight established stars. Ashley’s favored over me and rightly so: that doesn’t mean I can’t hold my own with her.” Scott only too willing to oblige any rookie coming up. “You gotta love the kid’s optimism,” Scotty smiles in preflight. “I just hope I break a sweat before I break her heart!” Scott in hot pink push up and panties--Morrison in lavender bikini with ruffled edges, hair in a messy push-back, forelocks framing her face.

During R1: Scott’s overconfidence costs her early. Morrison eyes like sauces, jaw clenched--she comes in hookin’ and crossin’, laying don a withering buzzsaw line of lefts and rights, rocking Scott’s chin at the open and diving her ropeside at the stagger. Jen strong on her feet, wide stance --she hooks and prods with her left hand, driving in straight right hands with a snarl as Scott covers up face-in gloves--ASHLEY’S HURT! Scott twisting and turning, elbows in, just trying to slip the shock--and look at Morrison handle her!  Jen palm shoving Scott in the shoulders to stabilize her, then reefing her hook-hook amidships, or honk/right hand up top. Ashley grimacing, getting trounced--from the second minute on she’s just reaching in, clinching for breaks--Morrison really working hard, punching in bunches, pushing and shoving like a veteran in a shutout first.

R2: Ashley scowling, off her stool focus--she’s got some work to do. Jab sorting Morrison out--Ashley the longer beauty, has a beautiful, educated poke--Jen soaking up stick on her mouth, in her chest as Scott imposes order midring. Scott stepping right, threatening Jen with right hand looks, but relying on that licking left--come-along hooks and jabs predominant as Jen keeps dukes up, bends at the waist and stalks. Morrison’s feet exposed a little this round: she’s got great wheels, but doesn’t cut the ring off like more experienced vixens would. Breezy boxing round, Scott.

R3: Jen doubling up the jab--good advice from her corner and brunette listening to directions. Morrison able to close ground, fighting more toe-to-toe this round. Jen keying off her hook, often doubling a biting left hand in Ashley’s ribs, then driving in the right, then even looking for the left uppercut: good mix, tempo, and intensity. Scott showing supple upper body defense, turning her shoulders at Morrison, pivoting around her-Ashley not getting hurt, but she’s not punching-with just yet, still trying to clock Jennifer’s rhythm.

R4: Another busy round for Morrison--she’s got nice scouring action on her punches, slender limbs shivering upon solid contact with either Scott flank--but Ashley starting to see the openings and act like a pro. Ashley bending low at her waist, rotating her torso, sliding her right foot back so she can create distance just by straightening up--she’s getting outworked, but starting to influence Jen in subtle ways. Midway through, Scott makes Morrison miss one-two over the top--Scott up out og her crouch pulls an oily hook across Jen’s mouth, puts the tangy right hand on top and THERE GO MORRISON’S LEGS! Jen stomping around momentarily frazzled--no follow up from Scott as she squanders the opportunity, just gauging how well Morrison takes a punch.

R5: Ashley establishing firm control midring, her legs dictating to Jennifer’s, her jab starting to pin Morrison down and rob her of initiative. Scott loping to her right, changing directions and skipping to her left--she’s too slick and strong outside for Morrison, but Jen keeps creeping after her, trying nto force that stand-and-deliver slugfest she can be competitive with. Scott selectively taking risks inside to pound Morrison’s peaches--Jennifer grimacing as Scotty swabs jug with shrugging licks--real squeegee wiping action, punches practically squeaking off rack.

R6: Scott rails Jen a sneaky lead right cross that puts Morris wobbly-butt--hurts her seconds later with a licking, whip-action hook on the chops--Scott starting to extend, get lanky leverage and MOVE this brunette. Ashley’s eyes narrowing as she creeps to her right, feinting Jen now, leading with the right while leaning in, getting hooks as she leans back out--stroke-stroke-stroking Morrison with whiplash power. Morrison gritting her teeth, gamely walking through it, but she’s bogged down at the end of Ashley’s punches, just showing how tough she is by soaking up leather. Bell to bell Scott--she beams majestically, helps herself to a backhand chunk of sulking Morrison backside as girls pass en route to corners.

R7,8: No quit in Morrison--outclassed and outgunned, she keeps working herself into position to scour Ashley with punches, raking the tall blonde with clouting lefts and rights, Scott still in control, ruthlessly putting down the uprisings with her jab and silky footwork, looking for Jen’s chin with sliding right hands and ripping left uppercuts. Morrison’s melons come under rude bombardment these rounds--Scott tightening up stroke and taking the time to back Jen up toe-to-toe, just to beat the brunette at her own game.

R9: Shutout Scott. Morrison taking the best Ashley can muster, but poor brunette paying the price. Beautiful eyes all lumped up and swelling, lower lip nice and fat, face all puffy and bruised. Ashley loving it, just pivoting around that front foot now, easing to her right, stroking and strapping her punches--she’s just patiently burying the kid on the cards, treating herself to Morrison like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

R10: Jen scrappy to the last--her approach just a little too basic for someone sneaky/good as Ashley Scott. Scott’s left uppercut off the left or right foot starting to daze Jen--crowd making uneasy murmurs and gasps as Morrison’s really getting clipped clean--but plucky brunette shakes it off, keeps working. Morrison not shutout--she’s able to get off with clawing lefts and rights, working up and down Scott’s flanks--but Ashley’s supple D impenetrable as far as flush, clean, fight-winning contact with her chin goes. Ashley in control to the bell--she takes the 10th--her 6th round in a row and 8th overall to cruise to the UD10.

After: Morrison all busted up--she wanted experience; she got it, good and hard. Scott all snug and victorious--smiling, preening--a night of bully’s work for Ashley underscores that she’s not to be trifled with. “I think people have overlooked how good I am,” Scott grouses in post fight. “I took this girl apart--a perfectly good, strong, young brunette--and I toyed with her,” Jen downcast, but unbroken in post fight. “I knew I was in tough,” Morrison admits. “She was everything I expected, but I didn’t expect her to be as strong as she was-0-I really thought I could push her around more, but Ashley’s pretty solid in there. Realistically, I’m happy with how I competed--I pushed Ashley hard, went the distance with her and I took her measure, There’s nothing there I can’t handle in the future.”
