My wife Jill defends her title against Darla Christansen

My wife, Jill, is a coach in the female athletic department at a university
and also coaches and participates in female boxing at a local gym. She has
been the gyms welterweight champion for the last three years and defends the
championship at least twice a year. Most of her title defenses have ended with
the challenger being knocked out. Last year she defended against a young
medical student, Darla, who to my wife's surprise knocked her down. Their
first meeting ended with Jill retaining her belt when the fight was stopped
due to a cut above Darla's eye. Their second meeting ended with a stoppage in
the 5th round after my wife was cut by an accidental head butt. Darla had put
Jill on the canvas twice but the judges scored the fight a draw. I'm about to
describe their third fight.

The gym usually had title defenses quarterly for all weight classes and this
evening had three bouts with Jill and Darla as the main event. Darla
maintained that she had been robbed in the last two fights and that she
intended to knock Jill out if Jill or her corner didn't chicken out and toss
the towel in. There was such a demand for tickets that the event was moved
from the gym to the larger facilities at the university.

The title defense would consist of 8 rounds of 2-minutes with the ladies
wearing 8-oz. gloves. Their previous two meeting were wearing 10-oz gloves but
the gym's boxing executive felt that the 8 oz gloves would increase the odds
of a decisive ending with a knock out. Gym rules allowed for a lightly padded
bra with cups no larger than necessary to contain each breast and low rise
short shorts. The gym would supply both. Thong or bikini panties could be worn
under the shorts. The referee would have final approval of gloves and attire.

The university odds makers had Darla winning by a knock out before the 6th
round. I know that my gutsy wife was out to prove them wrong but I also
noticed that she was a little more nervous before this fight than her others.
The evening would feature four title defense bouts with Jill and Darla in the
main event. I was at ringside about 15 feet from the blue corner, which is the
corner that the champions will occupy.

The first bout goes the distance of 6 rounds with the champion retaining her
belt. The second bout ends in the 5th round when the champion sustained a
nasty cut under her right eye, thus losing her title. The third fight ends in
the 4th round with a devastating knock out of the challenger. There is a short
intermission before the main event.

Jill and her handlers enter the ring first to resounding applause with Darla
and her people following a couple of minutes later, also to a resounding
applause. The ring announcer makes the introductions and I will quote him.

The announcer, "This bout will be 8 rounds of boxing for the gym's
welterweight title. In the corner to my right is the current champion, Jillian
Russell. Jill stands 5' 8" tall and weighs 138 pounds. Jill has successfully
defended her title 12 times, scoring 9 KO's in the process. Let's have a huge
welcome for our champion."

Jill's trainer lifts her robe off as the audience gives her a tumultuous
applause with the university boys providing catcalls and wolf whistles. My
wife does look sexy in her brief lavender shorts with her 37dd breasts bulging
slightly over her lavender bra. The white boxing gloves and white boots seem
to round off the look.

The announcer continues, "In the corner to my left we have the challenger,
Darla Christansen. Darla stands 5' 9" tall and weighs 146 pounds. Darla has a
record of 9 straight wins, all by knockout on her climb to be the #1
contender. She has faced Jill twice before, losing once by TKO and a draw.
Please welcome our challenger.

The place erupts as Darla removes her robe. She also looks fantastic with her
legs appearing longer than my wife's legs and her bust not far behind Jill's
at what I would guess to be a 36d. Darla is wearing brief powder blue shorts
and matching bra. Darla like Jill is wearing white gloves and boots.

The referee signals both ladies to the center of the ring to go over last
minute instructions. "Ladies, I want a clean fight, obey my commands at all
times and above all protect yourself at all times. I don't want any holding
the audience came to see you box. Jill, your shorts are a little too high. He
tugs my wife's shorts down about an inch. I going to allow you both to punch
one glove width below your opponent's belly button. NO LOWER LADIES! I don't
want any fouls or head butts. This is a championship fight so I'll be in no
hurry to stop it but I can't allow too many unanswered punches. Seconds, I'm
controlling this so don't throw any towels. Any questions? Return to your
corners and wait for the bell.

Jill gets her mouthpiece in and dances waiting for the bell.

Round 1

The ladies touch gloves as they meet. Both are holding their guard high and
jabbing from behind it. They both appear a little nervous. Darla is first to
through a body punch, snapping her left jab into Jill's belly button. The new
white glove hitting bare skin makes a noise like a whip cracking. Jill snaps a
jab through Darla's gloves that glances off the young woman's nose. Darla
checks her nose for blood and there doesn't appear to be any. More jabs are
traded back and forth but no power punches in the first round. The audience
becomes restless and begin to chant, "we want a knock out"

Both ladies are damp from perspiration and unmarked.

Round 2

The round begins as the first did, jab, jab, jab. The crowd becomes very vocal
as they urge their fighter into action. Jill snaps another firm jab between
Darla's gloves which lands flush on her nose this time. Jill has drawn first
blood as it trickles from Darla's left nostril. Darla moves Jill into the
corner with firm jabs to her breasts, then the first power punch, a hard right
into Jill's belly. It hurt. I can hear my wife groan. The fight opens up as
the ladies freely trade mostly body punches for about 30 seconds. It ends with
Jill driving a right into Darla's face, which begins the flow of blood from
both of Darla's nostrils. Darla is hurt and Jill becomes the aggressor going
after Darla's breasts. Darla's hands drop a bit and Jill fires a strong right
to the left side of Darla's face. Darla's legs buckle and she falls bum first
to the canvas. I'm sure that it's not over but the crowd becomes so boisterous
that I can't hear the count. Darla gets to one knee and waits for the 8 count
before standing. The referee cleans her gloves and calls the ladies to box.
Jill rushes in, hoping to catch Darla still disoriented but runs into a huge
right hand from Darla which catches Jill flush on her chin. My wife topples
backward landing flat on her back. This doesn't look good. The bell sound just
after the count begins but Jill has to be up before 10 to survive. My
bleary-eyed champ struggles up using the ropes just beating the count.

Wow, what a round, two knockdowns. Both ladies are perspiring profusely.
Darla's nose bled for half the round, staining both ladies bra and shorts.
Darla's corner works on her nose while Jill's corner tries to chase her
cobwebs away. The inside of Jill's mouth is bleeding, probably from the last
punch. When my wife hit the canvas, her legs flew up and apart giving a few of
us seated beside me, a view of her white silk bikini panties.

Round 3

Jill appears slightly wobbly as she leaves her corner. Darla's nose has
stopped bleeding for now. Darla moves methodically after Jill. She wants to
get an exchange going but doesn't want to make the same mistake Jill did.
Darla scores with a combination to Jill's breasts. Jill didn't seem able to
block either punch. I could hear my wife squeal out after the second punch.
Jill covers up but Darla works on her body, another combination, and this time
both landing barely above Jill's shorts. I can hear my wife grunts, an
indication that she was hurt. The punches move up as both ladies exchange head
shots. Darla is hurt as Jill lands a firm right flush on her nose but shakes
it off tagging Jill with a right to her left eye. The ladies go into a clinch,
the first one. The ref separates the ladies and calls for them to box. My wife
has been cut just above her left eye, in the tender flesh below her eyebrow.
The blood is getting into her left eye obscuring her vision. It means that she
will have trouble seeing Darla's right hand coming. Jill back away trying to
keep Darla on her right side but Darla successfully traps her in the corner.
Jill's left eye is full of blood, allowing Darla to catch her on the left side
of her jaw with a huge right. Jill pitches forward and Darla catches her with
a left, which splits her right eyebrow, as she crashes, breasts first to the
mat. I silently pray that my wife will stay down and be counted out but she
struggles up to beat the count. Fortunately the bell sounded shortly after the
ref calls for the ladies to box.

Wow, lots of blood but I think that audience wants a knockout rather than a
stoppage. Darla's nose is bleeding, not profusely but steady and she has a
large mouse under her left eye. Jill was cut twice, the first a small gash in
the skin just over her left eye, the second is a split in her right eyebrow.
My wife also has a mouse under both eyes. The cuts aren't bad but the blood
obscures her vision and lets Darla score at will especially with right hand
punches. Darla's corner works on her nose while Jill's corner franticly works
on both eyes. This title could depend on the cut man. The doctor checks Jill's
cuts and informs the referee that neither is a serious injury.

Round 4

Both ladies look like they have been in a war but neither is bleeding as the
round begins. Jill keeps her hands high protecting her eyes as Darla takes her
fight to Jill's tummy. My wife scores with a straight left into Darla's nose
to start the flow of blood again this round which causes the younger lady
breathing problems. Darla sends a left and right uppercut into my wife's
breasts. Jill gasps and clinches. The ref separates the ladies telling Jill
not to hold but to fight like a champion. That's ok for him to say he's not
getting hit. Darla opens up the cut on my wife's left eye, actually it looks
like she opened the gash. Blood is flooding into my wife's left eye making her
blind to Darla's right hand. Darla is able to connect with two more huge right
hooks, both into the champions left eye. Blood is just pouring down my wife's
face as the ref halts action. The doctor looks at Jill's face which in
addition to the first cut has a inch long split in her eyebrow and a half inch
split on her cheek below her eye. The doctor tells the ref to continue the
round. It's a title fight, which tend to get messy. The ref calls to box.
Darla blasts in with a left low to my wife's shorts, then a right to the left
side of Jill's face that starts the flow of blood again. Jill can't see
Darla's right hand as Darla mercilessly pounds the left side of my wife's
face. The end finally comes as Darla connects with a blistering right to my
wife's jaw, a devastating left straight into my wife's nose and finally the KO
uppercut right under her chin. Jill topples backward onto her back like a
felled tree, bouncing about 4 inches off the mat before coming to rest flat on
her back. Jill's legs are splayed giving a few a nice view of her now
transparent bikini panties.

The announcer calls out, "Looks like we have another new champion" Thankfully
the referee waves off the count, signaling for the doctor and Jill's handlers.
Jill remains out for several minutes as doctor works on her. Once her second
cleans her face up a bit and stops the bleeding, the damage doesn't look too
bad. Jill regains consciousness but remains very disoriented as they attempt
to sit her up. At this point they decide to slide her onto a stretcher and
carry her to the dressing room.

I have trouble getting into my wife's dressing room as they now have the two
ring doctors, a couple of paramedics along with her handlers. She is ok, well
as ok as you can be after a fight like that. They have her stripped down to
her bikini panties, wet white silk ones I might add so she may as well be
naked and packed in ice to reduce further swelling. The doctor wants her to
rest for an hour before he sutures her cuts. He expresses concern about her
nose being broken.

Jill, my wife, had the damage that I describe along with a broken nose and two
cracked ribs. She recovered remarkable quickly. That was almost 4 months ago.
The rematch against Darla is tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm up to it.
