BEFORE: "Honestly, I'm probably as excited about this fight as you guys are!" Righetti admits in prefight. "This girl's not going anywhere. She's right in my brand-space: a big, bad-ass redhead with heavy hands and miles of heart. I'm probably looking at a career-defining rival here, so I want to start handing out significant, long-lasting beatings to this girl. What can I say? I want her numb from my punishment and I want distance between us. Cassidy makes me feel competitive again, and that's a good thing!"

Freeman calm, confident during her comments. "We're going to fight, and the better woman is going to come out on top," Freeman shrugs. "We're not flyweight punks trying to stir up crap or get our names in Snark Magazine. The road to where I want to go in boxing goes right through Amanda Righetti. She's right: I'm not going anywhere, and she's got no choice but to make me back down. I will say this though: she's been on top for a few years now, and she's probably logged more minutes than any other fighter in boxing over that time. 20 welterweight fights is like 100 bantam battles: her body's wearing all of that damage; she's storing that damage in those thick legs of hers. She's like this fortress wall that's just starting to show some cracks...doesn't mean it's coming down any time soon, but I want to get in there and widen those cracks, you know what I mean? I want to set the standard of punishment so high that looking forward, Amanda will know she can't deny me over the long run. Once I've got her thinking that way, THAT'S when we'll see the wall come tumbling down!"

Amanda in mauve sport top; black sport-bikini bottoms; black horse-hair gloves like they had in the 20s; long red hair long/loose. Freeman in baby blue sport top; navy sport bikini bottoms; grey horse-hair gloves; red hair up in the back with ringlets framing face.

During R1: Cassidy roaming to her right; stopping; securing flat-footed stance; crouching as she paws the jab, then jumps in - her right hand gripping outside Amanda's left bicep/left hand gripping inside Amanda's right elbow; crowding close to get cheek to cheek. From there it's bruising hold and hit: Cassidy will keep grippin' bicep with her left hand while chopping a short right across Amanda's jaw, then clamping on with her right to smother receipts. Holding right/slugging left, Cassidy will tuck into the body, or hook the chin, then clamp-and-waltz. Takes Amanda a minute to figure out the game, then she's doing the same thing - holding and hitting as girls step around in a tight circle, each working up back-sweat with the constant muscular effort. Freeman getting her way - she's methodically busier, seemingly more comfortable and patient...Righetti a little frustrated at times as the ref's issuing relatively few breaks.

R2: Well: there's Cassidy's game plan. Jab for initiative out of a flat-footed crouch; slide on in to grip-up Amanda's arms, holding her cheek to cheek with left shoulder in her chest; punch with one hand while holding with the other, then glom on with the punching hand as well - walking Amanda around in circles all the while. Grunting, sweaty work...Cassidy clouting chin via short, chop-across rights; tucking short hooks to breadbasket or chin; drifting right uppercuts to chin with dramatic effect - usually knocking Amanda's head back to oohs and ahs. Cassidy disciplined though - tying up after landing, never opening things up: she's committed to big-girl attrition in the trenches, not a free-swinging firefight or boxing match. Righetti clearly outfought this time - strong body absorbing blows, legs never shaken...but she's getting walked around and bludgeoned like we've rarely seen before.

R3: Amanda adjusts. Job 1: be first with the jab...she's pumping and double-pumping that sucker, pinpointing Cassidy's forehead as Freeman's got her chin tucked. Job 2: use those legs...Amanda stepping around her left hands, or disengaging to walk around...she's not dancing or running, but she's creating angles/imposing turning-battle upon Freeman. Cassidy stalking with dukes up at brow height: she's blocking a fair amount of incoming, but Amanda picking spots to step in strong off the jab, labelling Cassidy upside the head via wide, sidearm-right wallops. Freeman taking the shots well, but smote off balance at times: Amanda renegotiates all terms, pitching a shutout with superior mobility.

R4: Cassidy jabbing from her crouch, hopping in with deceptive quickness: she's gripping-up with Amanda's arms, forcing Righetti back into that shuffling, hold-and-hit routine. Righetti competitive - taking her turns pushing Cassidy around; imitating her short-clout chopping blows, but Freeman's fully committed to this fight. Where Amanda will hang on for ref's breaks, Cassidy's actively looking to hold-and-hit - and when she's not doing that - she's putting her left shoulder in Amanda's tits and walking her around. Righetti pushed into ropes at times, but too strong to be held down...fighters tumble along the cables, reversing positions - taking turns chucking right hands into offending bellies from the top position, while left hands hold opposing right bicep. Ref IS issuing breaks, but Cassidy pretty cute with her approaches: quick jabs to Amanda's eyeline making Righetti blink just long enough for Freeman to step-in.

R5: Grim, grinding attrition, Cassidy on Amanda. Women at close-quarters - often cheek to cheek or mouth-on-shoulder - backsides and strong legs methodically straining against the power of the other. Freeman a subtle master in the clinch - pulling and pushing Amanda off balance, then walking her; left hand gripping Righetti's inner-elbow while the right chops at increasingly bruised jaw, or delivers brutal uppercuts to chin. Cassidy also effective holding Amanda's left bicep in right hand while batting stiff, almost straight-arm left hooks up and in to breadbasket: Righetti doubling-up, face grimacing as she's forced to hang on. All Cassidy until late - after a rare ref's break creates daylight between fighters...Freeman attempts to jump in and gets CRACKED a short right to chin en-route! FREEMAN'S ROCKED! Cassidy's legs fail, nearly pitching her to canvas...she rights herself, reaching to clinch, but takes another right to chin and a left to left cheek as she's sputtering past Amanda's left flank. Bell sounds before Righetti can consolidate, but it's enough to steal the round, and put a ferocious look in Amanda's eye en-route to her stool!

Break: Amanda's trainer stressing boxing, jab and distance, but Righetti overules: "No. I need to break her inside."
Trainer: "Amanda, listen..."
Bjorlin (acting second): "She's right. She's gotta get this bytch's respect inside! We have to win a round on Cassidy's terms."

R6: Cassidy in off the jab - left arm extended to Righetti's right bicep; right arm in tighter to chest, gripping Amanda's left elbow. Hold-and-hit chop-and-clinch brutality commences - Cassidy hacking away, walking Righetti around. Amanda grimly competing - wrenching her right arm clear to clout Cassidy to chin, then tying up - walking Freeman around; hooking her breadbasket. Amanda's legs gradually taking canvas from Cassidy, walking Freeman to ropes: Righetti able to body-up mouth-on-shoulder, push off with her left elbow on Cassidy's tits, then bang the body right/left underneath. Freeman grimacing - her chin on Amanda's left shoulder as girls hunch forward...Freeman palming Amanda's hips or forming crossed-arm underneath to block the pounding. Good steady Amanda Righetti pressure down the stretch - she's shovin' and sluggin' like a champ, taking the round strong, pulling even on all cards through 6 bashing heats!

R7: Cassidy splits Amanda's lower lip with a pulverizing approach-jab - stepping in close to get the stubby right uppercut to chin, then tying up the arms. Cassidy laying in with Amanda - the left arm extended as the girls angle into each other with left sides leading...hacking hold-and-hit commences. Patient, chopping brutality...Cassidy getting her back into short right hands in above Amanda's left hip; turning compact hooks into Amanda's breasts; jerking that tidy right uppercut to chin. Righetti stumbling in the grasp, staring glassy-eyed: she's catching the beating of a lifetime here, trusting the strongest legs in boxing to hold her up! Cassidy methodical, relentless, systematically battering Big Rigs into stupor with a bell to bell onslaught!

R8: Amanda looking to negotiate distance, stepping-left around a pumping jab early...takes Cassidy a minute to weave her way past the poke, setting up grabby on the inside. Once they're shoulder to shoulder, shuffling around, it's just heavy, strong bodies laying in together chins-on-shoulders; muscular backsides bunching and shuddering side to side under the constant strain of managing the opponent's mass. Bit by bit it's Cassidy bludgeoning the points out of Amanda: Freeman's short, chopping right hand bashing at left flank and hip outside Righetti's left arm, then jerking up and in to chip chin. Amanda put wobbly-butt down the stretch - curvy legs holding her up, but it's all Righetti fielding short, thudding whacks head and body as Freeman starts to separate through 8!

R9: Women trade howitzer jabs - each woman smashing away in trade. Cassidy steps in with the stubby right uppercut: Amanda anticipates; takes a half-step back, causing Freeman to come up short. Righetti rocking forward with the short, pulverizing straight right hand to chin...Cassidy totters back on her heels with a bleak, confused expression because SHE'S HURT! Amanda attacking from Cassidy's 10 o'clock - sweeping straight-arm hooks onto Freeman's mouth...Cassidy takes punches in a fog, turning to her right, stumbling sideways to ropes and SHE'S DOWN! Freeman planted on her right knee - right arm fumbling for purchase in the ropes...she's stunned, staring, narrowly beating the count. Cassidy swaying on the spot, but assuring ref she's good: ON COMES AMANDA! Righetti wades in with Cassidy stooping slightly forward in loosey-goosey earmuff: easy for Amanda to step in close and fit right uppercut between Cassidy's mitts, scoring chin! Freeman's head snaps back/forward as she drifts back into ropes...hands're up, but a little too wide to prevent a bashing Righetti jab from pounding mouth/ejecting mouthpiece. Right hand pours in, pounding face; left hook finds chin, dragging Cassidy's guard down on follow through; right hand punches her head back loose on her neck...Cassidy's knees fail, causing her to sag into ropes, then slide to her right! Amanda reaches under Cassidy's arms, bodying her upright against ropes to stabilize, then beats a pair of tuff left hands to breadbasket while supporting Freeman's torso in crook of right arm. Turning hook across Freeman's chin, Amanda brushes Cassidy back into ropes - Freeman's hands dropping to her stomach as she lolls forward into facing position. Jackhammering, straight LEFT/RIGHT/LEFT bashes Cassidy's face, draping her back against ropes again...Freeman out on her feet, lashes fluttering, torso whipsawing on her hips and THE REF STEPS IN! Amanda lifts her arms in ragged glory: TKO9 in come-from-behind fashion, Amanda Righetti!

AFter: Freeman hammered senseless - quickly taken to her stool for smelling salts and TLC; Righetti a stumbling wreck - face beaten nearly unrecognizable by the dreadful consistency of her determined foe tonight. "She's the hardest woman I've faced," a battered, exhausted Amanda admits in postfight. "Just the grind of her...I'm sure I've been hit harder by single shots here and there, but the constant pressure of Cassidy...it's remarkable. I felt like - before I could open up and get her hurt - I had to get her respect in the trenches. I had to make her hesitate a bit coming in, and when she finally did, I was able to catch her and unravel her. A tough, bruising fight...I know she'll be back, so I can't get too excited about this, but...this is a good, big-time win for me. I'm gonna savour it!"
