Quickie by Karen Hi there, Karen the boxer here for a quickie. You all know me well enough by now since I have written and have been written about enough times, appeared on enough websites, magazines and ads, etc., so you all can go look me up to fill in whatever blanks you may have. After my brutal KO loss recently I was not planning any fights until well into the New Year but had one this morning in the gym....barefisted too. Ok here ya go- I workout in 3 different gyms including this one rather fancy/expensive one in Boca. I was there several weeks ago just do socialize and do some light lifting with friends when I ran into a woman named Sharon. The long and short of it is, I slept with her husband when I first moved down here years back and had a rather serious and nice affair with him for 3 month's. For what it is worth they were seperated at the time although that would not have mattered to me in the leastand these are all facts. When I cut him loose for another guy he dealt with it maturily and him and his wife eventually got back together. She threw me some major attitude when we would be in the same social settings which I understood but could care less- been there and done that as they say. Sharon is a beautiful young lady, truly beautiful but not a fighter and I had zero desire to hurt her and warned her husband to straighten her out and keep her away from me or I will rip her apart. For the most part that worked well. Her sister on the other hand is a MMA fighter with whom I rarely see or have anything to do with up until this VERY morning. Sharon mentioned to me once that her sister would do this and that to me someday so I should "watch my back". To me that is nothing but a big yawn. I was in this fancy gym doing my thing when I noticed her sister coming at me and coming with a mission. Out of nowhere she gets in my face pointing her finger and calling me some names I will not repeat. You all know my stats and she is a short 5'4 and maybe 130 or so, pretty and athletic body and I know she is a proven MMA fighter. I had no desire to slap the snot out of her as the men in the group pushed her away and told her to cool down. I was thinking to myself that: 1: I never did wipe her sister out or ever slapped or punched her; what biz is it of this woman that I slept with her brother-in-law while they were seperated to boot and this was THREE years ago. Anyway, I let it slide. A while later I am in the lockerroom post shower, just dried my body and hair and was walking thru the room with a towel over my shoulders knowing of course I was showing off my body for this crowd. I LOVE DOING THAT. Suddenly Ms. MMA asshole is standing there at her locker saying some REALLY stupid immature things and I snapped. I walked over to her, now totally naked as the towel fell somewhere as i was walking over and got in my boxing stance. I did tell her to shut her mouth or I WOULD slap the living fuck out of her. She was dressed in her gym clothes at this time. She came at me and I landed 5 HARD jabs to her mouth and a right hook to her jaw all BARE FISTED which as many of you know used to be my thing and something I am good at. She had her back against her locker and I shot two hooks to her exposed ribs and a left uppercut to her jaw. She was wobbly as the women watching were in shock as none were fighters. I gave her a second to compose herself, I was sooooooooooooooooooo angry, and she got in her stance and came at me and when I saw her muscles contract I let loose with my right hook and dropped her. Meantime she did land some wild punches to my body which of course are useless since everyone knows about my strong abs but she did land a few to my face and barefisted those leaves marks immediately. Anyway, She was on her knees using the bench to help her up and I allowed her to do so as I was cursing her. She was already bleeding from her left eye and mouth and her right eye was swelling. She got up and 2 jabs to her left eye and a straight right to her mouth dropped her on her ass as the door exploded and these people ran in- all men. Two men pushed me against the wall ( and I was stark naked!!) and held me there as she was unable to get up by herself and was a punch or two from being knocked the fuck out. Eventually these two guys let me go and I stood there as 20 people gawked at my physique and I explained what happened as the other women backed me up. I got dressed and left and she had to go to the ER for stitches i am sure. Going home I felt my left eye swelling but I felt good about myself that in 30 seconds I came an inch away from knocking out this 30 something trained MMA fighter and left my mark in that gym for sure albeit I was not happy I had to do it- I really was not planning on any type of fight until February or later. Yes, a quick story but like they say, it is what it is. Shalom Karen
