MAXIM MAGAZINE TITLE

Posted by Simguy on Tuesday, 05-Oct-1999 22:05:19

Before: Milano down right cocky after her triumph over Fishel, leaps at the chance to fight exotic LL. Maxim magazine happy to sponsor the fight, figuring it’s a win-win fort them either way. And Liu delighted to get a crack at a come-forward girl who likes to lead with her head. Who says there’s no harmony in celeb boxing. Lucy in black push up bra, red high cut aerobics bottom, long ponytail, Alyssa in white tankini, soaking wet. Stare down a smolder fest as the girls rub foreheads during instructions.

During R1: Milano showing no respect whatsoever for Liu’s vaunted power,. Comes out with hands at her stomach, bending forward at the waist a la Joe Frazier, and succeeds in twisting one of those slinging left hooks onto Lucy’s jaw to open the round. Liu stepping around swaying cobra-like at the waist, looking for the openings, but Milano’s pressure pays off with a few more popping impacts from the left hand. Lucy leaning away from the punches with her hands down, midjudges Alyssa’s reach early, but by the midway point has Milano missing and overextending. Rounds ends with Ms. Liu taking advantage with clouting lefts and rights from her hips, turning into the most convenient power punch whenever Alyssa lunges.

R2: Milano following, bobbing and leaning forward over her legs, Lucy taking left band right in front of Alyssa, freezes Milano and stuns her with a looping right hand from the knees directly to Alyssa’s mouth. Milano crossing her arms, standing square to lucy, and liu grins as she power punches up from the ground, getting her hips and thighs into the blows, pounding her mitts through Alyssa’s guard. Milano stumbling forward, taking hellacious blows to her body and chin despite bobbing, and she is busted up. Finally discouraged, Milano straightens to backpedal, and Lucy lunges forward, cracking Alyssa with the leaping right hand off the face to spank Milano silly. Alyssa dropping to her back, attempts to rise, falters, and finally just beats the count. Lucy licking her lips, sways in and out on the hurt brunette, pitching her fists into the body and head of the champ from strange angles, and the classic slinging right uppercut from the floor, delivered as Lucy jumps to the left, almost into the ropes catches Alyssa square in the face. Milano driven back over the top ropes, then flung helplessly forward, pitches to her face to lie in picturesque puddle as Liu stands in triumph above her. KO2 Lucy Liu.

After: Suddenly double belt holders are commonplace as Liu snatches the maxim diadem from Milanos’ waist with a crushing second round wipeout. Nothing new from Liu here--the traditional fast, unorthodox start bewildering and destroying the opponent before adjustments can  be made.
