UNIFIED BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE

Posted by simguy on May 5, 2012, 9:33 am

BEFORE: "I just can't get her out of my system," Rachel admits of Neve in prefight. "I know we've fought a lot - you'd think things would be settled...but as soon as I won the title, my first thought was to defend against Neve so I could deny her. I know she's got Mack in-house, and that's always been a dangerous mix, but Campbell's not the girl she once was. She's got a huge weight-cut in front of her; she's slower now; easy to hit...honestly, I'm looking at this being maybe our final battle, if I can put the kind beating on her that I want to." Campbell tight lipped at Rachel's chilling intentions, meeting spite with spite. "Our best of 7 measured us one against the other," Neve reminds the press...and McAdams, "and Rachel came up short. But she's right: some girls you can't get out of your system, and even though I've utterly dominated her; given her decisive beatings that changed the trajectory of her career...I want more. It kills Rachel McAdams that I've owned her in the ring. Is she obsessed with me? I'll let you guys be the judges, but it's clear that as much as her management wants her to sidestep me, she just can't. Her body won't let her. Her body owes my body payback-hurt, and it doesn't matter what her brain wants. I think she's doomed to smash herself to pieces against me. And as long as there's some little bit of her as yet unclaimed - some island of defiance in her psyche yet unconquered - then I welcome her storm. She can't break me: all she's doing is giving herself to me piece by piece." Rachel in bright baby blue bra/pink panties; small white gloves; auburn curls. Neve in black sport-cut bikini; small black gloves; shoulder length black hair loose. Intense stare-down during ring instructions - fighters vibrating like twin tuning forks, each trying to melt the other's face with pure hate-glare.

During R1: Rachel uptempo - shift-pivoting briskly clockwise around a spit-spitting left jab: she's quick and frisky early. Neve dukes up, chin tucked, turning, stalking, blocking poke with her mitts. Rache spreads out her pattern, stooping to jab body - small mitts sticking into Neve-paunch PIK! PIK! Campbell trying to time short right hands from ready position at her cheek. As round goes on, it's clear Neve's not got the range...Rachel mixing in straight, palm-down right hands off her jab - stamping Neve's pale torso PIK! PAK!; peppering her guard up top for points.

R2: Same tempo and legs from Rachel: she doesn't want to stand right in front of Neve. Clockwise movement carrying Rache away from Neve's left hook...Campbell turning, scowling as redhead outhustles her. Rachel puttin' the pepper to Neve: brisk little flurries of straight, palm-down lefts and rights - Rache stooping to tap that gut, or ringing mitts off Neve's pate/guard up top. Down the stretch, Campbell cuts off the ring, stops Rachel's movement via wide right hand to ribs, then banks hook off liver to SHAKE RACHEL'S LEGS! Redhead alarmed, looking to clinch: Neve hooks the breadbasket to deny clinch; tight-swipes hook across jug; leans back in to swipe a wide right hand LOUD to Rachel's left side. McAdams wobbly-butt, withdrawing hurt...Neve steals the round late, finishes up all hard-eyed, tight-lipped as she's walking Rachel down.

R3: Rachel denies Neve's second-round rally, re-taking the initiative with shifting clockwise rotation; brisk two-gun pepper-pot punching. Rachel's eyes SO intense...she's pumping her jab as she pivots; stooping to ram-stamp straight right to body; straightening up to hook jug; then it's right/left/right straight, palm-down combos to pelt away on Neve's prepared defences. Midway through, just such a 3 punch combo penetrates guard - pounding away on Neve's mouth/cheeks...Campbell's legs give a shimmy...she tilts forward in earmuff, trusting her gut to absorb a trio of biting McAdams hooks as Rache arches her back into rising delivery. Rache just BATTING away on Neve, then sidestepping her...redhead's legs lively - trimmer than brunette power-stems, but dictating through 3. Rachel forcing searing eye-contact after the bell: Neve returns-gaze with defiance.

R4: Rachel getting off first, sidestepping, turning her girl midring, touching her stiff n' chippy. Neve stooping forward, trying to find a way in...she's constantly pre-empted by Rachel's swift-stiff jab; stung by the straight right hand; spanked by combos. McAdams loving it - eyes dancing as she claims against Neve, then changes angle...Campbell's hook frequently aborts on the launch pad, unable to find targeting solutions. Brisk, spanking points for Rachel - her small mitts scuffing Neve's pate/brows; pelting away on torso/arms...redhead piling up points through 4. Telling tweet during the break from Britney Spears: "@realRmac Call me when ur done."

R5: Stand and deliver battling early on - girls grinding foreheads, keeping hands at cheeks while the other's getting off. Neve finding Rache with a there-you-are little right uppercut; clouting left to ear; batting hook to flank. Rache answering hup-hup-hup left/rights to Neve's jugs; hooking Neve's chin; bobbing on the spot. Even trading through 2 minutes, then Rachel begins to circle left, unpack the jab, create a little distance and pat Neve down for points to bell. McAdams smug - cutting her eyes across to Neve with a glance of supremacy as girls pass...Neve stoic, not reacting to subtle redhead taunting. During break, Rachel startles her corner by shouting "YES!" when she should be listening to instructions...Rache in her own little Neve-busting world at this point.

R6: Success for Neve comes off the jab - she's steppin' poke firm to Rachel's chest, jolting redhead in her stance, setting her up for clubbing follow ups. Campbell backing Rachel up, walking her down, engaging her, outfighting her in exchanges, then pursuing as Rachel withdraws. McAdams careful to avoid ropes - even breaking into a little jog to get room: such evasions not endearing her to judges as Neve looks a bully through 6.

R7: More effective pressure from Neve. She steps in strong with the jab, pounding it off pate or upperchest; hooking Rachel to body thereafter; trading short right hands in tight with her. McAdams grimacing, getting beat to punches, then forced out of her stance...redhead constantly forced to rush to regroup, only to find Neve closing and working. Mac still effective in clearing the ropes - no shove and slug opportunities for Neve...but Campbell's grimly walking Rachel down now, landing hard, determined punches in pursuit.

R8: Rachel showing craft - changing direction to turn Neve counter-clockwise, walking Campbell into a stubby little right uppercut early. Neve takes the knock well, responds with hooks: thumping barrage hammers at Rachel's flank as a consequence of her directional change. McAdams soon sullen and stationary, grinding foreheads with Neve, trading in the pocket. Campbell stooping forward, dukes at cheeks, fitting Rachel for stout little right uppercuts (chin); batting hooks across ribs/tummy; clouting hooks to ear as redhead slows down. BREAK: Neve clearly heard on camera telling her trainer: "I can stop her." Eyes alert, focussed.

R9: Midring - girls grinding foreheads, working in close...Neve locates chin via stubby little right/left uppercut combo then NEVE HOOKS LIVER! Gorgeous, compact lick bites into Rachel's body: instant agony on McAdams' face, instant cringe...she backs away stricken, curvy legs holding her up as butt hits ropes. Neve steps-to, eyes hard, heart harder: OH SHE HOOKS RACHEL IN HER BODY! Neve popping hips-right, arching her back, whacking that left hand in thick behind Rachel's right elbow...redhead sobs in pain, sagging forward under duress. Neve-on-Rachel violence ensues: brunette push-stacking redhead upright, then punishing that body - thick, pounding rights and lefts jolting McAdams as she tries to reform guard. Neve so methodical - alternating her head over either RAchel shoulder; pushing on Rachel's chest or biceps to stack, keeping the work short n' thick. Neve in rhythm - legs set strong, buns ringing as she summons leverage...she's just processing RAchel this round, punching her tender, beating every little bit of her. McAdams brave, absorbing a terrible beatdown, refusing to give Neve the satisfaction of surrender or knockdown. Bell: Campbell forces smoldering eye contact...Rachel hugging her ribs, staring back with how-could-you eyes...she's hurt and both girls know it.

R10: Rachel shows her spirit - bludgeoned and bullied last round, she rallies, attacking Neve with renewed vigor. Clockwise movement; spitting jabs; stamping, straigh-punch combos...Rachel baring her teeth, getting off first, fighting her fight. Neve turning-with, covering up to block, taking a peppering...her ribs/tummy glossy-pink from the touch of Rachel's insistent mitts. Bell: Rachel's boxed-out the tenth, earning a draw...Neve immediately challenging Rachel to overtime, engaging champion's pride. McAdams could retain with a draw, but she's insistent, telling her trainer: "I want her beaten!"

R11: Rolling start for Neve - she takes a page out of Mish Williams' book - getting a jump on the bell, engaging Rachel in Foxfire corner. Neve reaching in under Rachel's arms, stacking her to 'buckles, leaving her left arm in under Rachel's right while right hand PLUNDERS redhead gut! Rachel whining, spanked, trying to wriggle out from under...Neve too strong - positioned too well: all Rache can do is suffer, then tie up for ref's breaks. Campbell turns wrestler first off the breaks - shooting in on Rachel to tackle her to ropes; muscling her into position on turnbuckle or ropes; crowding her with head and shoulder, then beating her body. Good brawny, sloppy, smothering stuff from Neve - Rachel can't find open canvas - suffocating under the weight and strength of Neve in the corner. Bell: Campbell grinning ear to ear on the long-strut back to her own corner as pressure crushes down on Team McAdams.

R12: Rachel answers - and answers - with vigor. Stepping right, she walks Neve into that stubby little right uppercut...CAMPBELL GOES WOBBLY BUTT! Good stout shot messes Neve up: she forms earmuff, stooping forward midring as Rache leans in and POUNDS AWAY TO GUT! Rache just free-swinging lefts and rights, belting Neve's body, then pushing off to sidestep clockwise...Campbell grimacing, hurting, just keeping hands at temples. Rache goes into straight-punching pivoting mode - jab locating Neve's mouth between her mitts; straight right hand parting the jugs; straight-stamping hup-hup pumping at breadbasket as Rachel stoops to get off brisk. Neve's curvy legs hold her up, but she can't respond: pressure shifts to the Campbell corner as Rachel bellows incoherently at bell.

R13: Right uppercut, Neve; left hook...Rachel's chin takes a toggling and MCADAMS IS ROCKED! Rachel staring in wonder as legs spasm...she wobbles out of orbit, buns a-ringing, staggering herself into ropes for support. ON COMES NEVE! Campbell squares up big-girl - bracing Rachel across the ribs via left forearm, then clubbing right hand to skull. Rachel damaged, covering up in earmuff, stooping forward: Neve hooks her hard behind right elbow; lowers left shoulder to lift left uppercut into gut; clubs right hand across right hip/kidney. Rachel reaching round Neve's thighs to tie up around Campbell's butt: Neve wriggles arms down into the embrace, stacking Rachel ragdoll into ropes, bending her back over top strand then PLOWING right forearm down atop jug. Cave-girl stuff from Neve - RAchel's head lolling, lips parting...she slides to her left, heading for home-corner as Neve steps-with, hooking! Hooks sweep Rachel into Foxfire corner...she's ragged with damage, covering up earmuff...Neve steps-to, feeds Rache the hateful right hand scoop-punch to breadbasket, then bats away hooks. IT'S ALL NEVE CAMPBELL! Neve battering helpless Rachel, then reaching in under arms, stacking her up ragdoll, pouring it on. RAchel's eyelashes fluttering, head lolling...she's so hurt, but she just won't...RACHEL GOES DOWN! RACHEL GOES DOWN! Thudding barrage of brutal lefts and rights beats Rachel's legs numb...she sits down in her corner, knees up at her chest as she breaks down into tears. Neve jumps away shrieking, thighs and buns rippling as she hops about...sniveling Rachel pulls herself up to beat the count, by the bell, but that 's a 2 point round and overtime victory for the winner and NEW bantam champ - Neve Campbell!

AFTER: Rachel inconsolable, burying her head in Laura Vandervoort's shoulder as blonde holds shaking, distraught redhead...proud Rachel beaten once again by Neve, and this time for belts. "It's glorious," badly scuffed, weary Neve beams in postfight, jostling belts on shoulder and waist. "Just when I thought I couldn't take anything else from Rachel, I find just a wee bit more. She so desperately wanted to break my spirit, but when you want something that much, you put yourself on the line...and that can cost. I really, truly feel like I broke Rachel McAdams tonight. Broke as in ruined. This was her night - she was supposed to deny me belts, make me feel my age...instead, my body made hers quit. Again. She sat down in front of me, and I took her title away from her. Instead of vindication for her, it's one of the greatest nights of my career. I felt her go all-in tonight, and that's what I wanted...I think that last little bit she was holding back from me...I own that now. It's poetic justice: shattering her has made me whole
