Shantelle by Ringer A big female MP beats a disrespectful male soldier in the ring Hi ! I love the fight stories that IÕve read here and I wanted to share one of my own. My name is Shantelle. I'm a black woman who isn't afraid to square off with a man when I have to. I'm writing to tell you about one of my most memorable fights. Since I was a girl, I've been big for my age and that's gotten me into a lot of trouble. I lived in a rotten neighborhoods growing up and the girl gangs would always pick fights with me because I wouldn't join them. Anyway, I decided at an early age that I'd better get strong and learn how to fight. I don't mind telling you that over the years my weight training has really paid off. At age 22 I'm 5'10" and 180 pounds of lean, beautiful, black power. When I was old enough, I joined the Army so I could get the heck out of there. It was no big surprise when they put me in for training as an MP. That's where the story begins. A lot of our MP training, is in mixed groups and some of the men didn't take too well to a woman being as big as I was. I guess it kind of scared them to think that a woman might be stronger than they were. There was one guy in particular, Bob, who would make cracks at every opportunity. When we separated the men and women for hand to hand training, all I could think about was how much I wanted to beat the pulp out of him. My poor sparring partners usually got the brunt of my anger. Then came the day that the two groups got together for the mandatory three boxing matches. In every weight class it was possible to match women with women and men with men, except for me. I was much too big for any of the other women, so I agreed to fight three men. After a lot of complaining, three men were ordered to box with me. One of them was Bob. I went out of my way to make this as uneventful as possible. My DI even had me wear an oversized, floppy T-shirt and trunks to minimize the difference in our appearances. The first two fights went off without a hitch. I made a point of not going all out to make them look bad, but I put enough into it that they were good fights. Then came my fight with Bob. I guess he thought he was going to prove something, he fought like we were back on the streets or something. Head butts, low blows, kidney punches, even a rabbit punch. What a jerk! That was it !!! I'd had enough of his crap. I decided right then and there that I wasn't going rest until I knocked that guy's lights out. It didn't take long to arrange. It seems that he was expecting me and quickly accepted my challenge. We would meet after hours, in the ring again, but this time no padded gloves and no rules about where you could punch. We entered the ring wearing calf length robes, black driving gloves and black calf high boxing boots. Bob, who is 6' and 175 wore brief swimming trunks similar to those worn by male body builders in contests. I wore black string panties that covered nothing but my crotch, and decided my 38C breasts would go without the support of a bra (not that they needed it). My attire had the desired effect. When I took off my robe, there was an audible "Whoooahh!!" from the crowd. Most of them had never before seen a woman body builder as ripped and beefed up as I was. Bob was visibly surprised. There was a referee, but her job was only to keep us from wrestling, kicking or holding while we punched. Any area of the body "above the belt" was legal. We would fight in standard 3 minute rounds with 1 minute breaks until one of us either quit or was knocked out. At that moment I was never more ready to destroy someone. The best part was that, looking into my eyes, Bob realized that he might have made a mistake accepting my challenge. I had formulated a plan for the fight that morning, but when the bell rang all I wanted to do was knock Bob's head off. I came out swinging and found that Bob wasn't such an easy target. He dodged my haymakers and counterpunched with jabs and hooks to my head and breasts. Though his punches didn't have knockout power, they were harder than I expected. Like a jerk, I kept headhunting and that's when he got me good! Ducking under a right cross of mine he drilled an overhand right deep into my lower abdomen, about hip high. My legs suddenly went soft and I fell like a stone. At eight I had just about pulled myself up when the bell rang for the end of round one. I sat in my corner thinking about how this wasn't working out the way I had planned. That's when I remembered, "Hey, I've got a plan, get with it!" Suddenly things started to look a lot clearer to me and I decided to get down to business. At the bell for round two Bob started to look pretty cocky. That was just fine with me. I started jabbing like I should and moving around. Every chance I got I moved in close, which made him cover up. That was my chance to hammer away at his upper arms as hard as I could. I alternated upper cuts to the body with hooks to both arms. He hit me with a jab or two each time I was open, but it was worth it. In no time his punches got weaker. By the end of the round he had a hard time holding his hands up, which made him easy meat for hooks and jabs to eye and jaw. When the bell rang I stepped back to assess the damage. I had a few bruises on my breasts, but was otherwise in pretty good shape. Bob, on the other hand didn't look too good. His right eye was starting to puff up and his arms hung loose. This was getting to be more like it. At the bell for round three it was time to open things up. Bob realized that if he didn't get something going this round, I was going walk all over him. He charged out of his corner, swinging away. I stepped inside his inept attack and blasted uppercuts to his abdomen and hooks to his unprotected face. He was like a crazy man, he wouldn't back down. I sidestepped a right cross and drove a straight right into his eye followed by a left cross to the jaw. When he paused to absorb that, I stepped inside and drove my right deep into his solar plexus. He doubled up, sending his face directly into my upward thrusting left fist, which twisted his head up and to the left as his body continued down to the canvas. I was actually angry that he had gone down, I wasn't done with him. As the ref counted I screamed at him to get up. I don't know whether he was too embarrassed to admit defeat or just plain stupid, but he did get up at nine. He was a mess, bleeding from the left nostril, welts on his chest and abdomen, his right jaw swollen and his right eye shut. Still he brought his fists up, ready to do battle again. The bell rang before the fight could continue. The ref went to Bob's corner to see if he would concede. I found out later that his response was "Don't worry ref, I've got her right where I want her". I think he'd been watching too many movies, or something. It was clear to me, the ref and everyone else except Bob, that this was going to be the last round. I guessed, correctly, that the only thing keeping Bob up was stubbornness. For me, it was raging bull time. At the bell I began a barrage that wasn't going to end until Bob was finished. My jackhammer left jabs snapped Bob's head back like a speedbag. My alternating right hooks and left crosses to the head and body bloodied his mouth, folded him up and swung his head from side to side. I was outpunching him 2 to 1, then 3 to 1, then 4 to 1. I hit him so hard and fast that I tore holes in the knuckles of my gloves. Bob backpeddled until he hit the ropes. As my big, fists bore in on him, he slid along the ropes until he reached the corner. Under my ceaseless attack he crouched, leaned against the ring's corner pad, and tried in vain to cover up. Bent over like that his head was about breast high to me, a perfect target. I stood squarely in front of him and unloaded with everything I had. Left hook to the cheek! His head whipped to the left. Right uppercut to the jaw! His head twisted sideways conforming with my fist, his body followed upward. I stepped inside with a left uppercut into his solar plexus! His body shook, his head landing on my left shoulder, his hands still chest high in a mock defense. I stepped back and uncoil an upward right cross that explodes on his jaw! His head twisted to the right and his body descended. He collapsed onto me like a wet sack on a brick wall and slid to the canvas, face down at my feet. I stood there over my fallen prey, ready for more, hoping that he would rise again. Of course, that didn't happen. The ref held me back as she counted over Bob's unconscious body. There are few victories that I have had in my life that felt as sweet as when my hand was raised before the small, wildly screaming crowd. Since then, I have had a few more fights, mostly with newcomers who thought they would prove something by taking me out. But that's another story. Anyway, I hope you can print my story. I'm glad that I had the chance to tell it
