Woman boxing champion challenges her male counterpart

THE CHALLENGE

Sharon Thompson looked at herself in the mirror; she wanted to be 
certain everything was just right. As she admired her physique, the 
finished product of years of weight training, she couldn't resist 
flexing her muscles. " Yes", she said to herself, " I'm as ready as I'll 
ever be ". She got into her car and began to drive to the hotel ballroom 
for an encounter that would change her life. 

As she drove, Sharon reflected on the events that led up to that 
evening. She had always been an extremely athletic girl - easily 
succeeding in every sport she attempted. Even the boys in school could 
not match her, something which caused them great embarrassment when she 
would beat them in just about everything. She delighted in doing so. 
When she was 19 years old, Sharon decided to try her hand at boxing. As 
with everything else she tried, she soon became an expert. After only a 
few months of training Sharon turned professional. Though only five feet 
six inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, such was her skill that she 
easily beat all of her opponents in her weight class and then moved up 
to the heavyweight division. There too she had no problem beating all of 
the women and, when she was only 20, battered the women's heavyweight 
champion into submission. She was now the women's champion; but she had 
a problem......where to go from here ? The answer seemed obvious to her 
- she would challenge the men. In her bedroom she had a large poster of 
Bill Bower - the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. Sharon would 
say to her friends, " I want him "; they all thought she was joking. 

After several inquires it became clear that no man would want to fight 
her. After all, if they beat her it wouldn't be anything special. And if 
she won, they 'd be humiliated beyond belief. She could resort to legal 
action, but that could take years; what's a girl to do ? On this Friday 
morning Sharon picked up the newspaper and saw a headline in the sports 
section that read," Bill Bower,Undefeated Heavyweight Boxing Champion of 
the World to appear at the Awards Ceremony  tonight ". As Sharon read 
the article, an idea came to her and she began to smile; it was the 
perfect solution to her problem. 

Sharon parked her car in the hotel parking lot. She entered the main 
ballroom and looked around. It didn't take her long to find what she was 
looking for. In the middle of the floor, surrounded by perhaps a dozen 
beautiful women, stood the mighty Bill Bower; her prey. Sharon calmly 
walked over to him and as he started to drink a glass of wine she bumped 
into him, making sure it spilled all over his tuxedo." Oh dear me ", she 
said and giggled, " I'm so clumsy aren't  I ? "  " You bet your ass you 
are ", Bill angerly bellowed. " This tuxedo cost me over $ 2,000, and 
now it's full of wine...you BITCH !!!! "  Sharon smiled, " your being 
awefully rude Mr. Bower, I've half a mind to teach you a lesson big boy 
". There was a murmur throughout the hall as the two of them stood face 
to face. " It's not nice to call a woman a bitch ", Sharon said as she 
looked up at the six foot four inch, 250 pound boxing champion. Bill 
glared down at the woman who was both ten inches shorter and 100 pounds 
lighter than himself. " And just what do you intend to do about 
it...BITCH ? " Sharon had to laugh to herself.....this was ever easier 
that she had imagined it would be. " Well then, I guess I'll have to 
teach you some manners, Mr. Bower ". 

Bill moved to grab her but she surprised him with a solid right cross to 
his jaw. She followed it up with a left and then another right, sending 
the undefeated heavyweight champion to the floor. " Gee Billy Boy, 
surely you're not going to let a little girl like me humiliate you in 
front of all these people are you ", Sharon giggled. All around the 
ballroom there was stunned silence as Sharon comely waited for Bill's 
next move. He quickly rose to his feet and charged straight at her. 
Sharon was expecting this and surprised him again by charging towards 
him also; a move he did not expect the much smaller woman to make.  She 
landed a hard series of punches into his midsection and quickly followed 
it up with an uppercut to his jaw. Once again Bill found himself on his 
back.....stunned. Sharon stood over him and, in a voice loud enough for 
everyone in the ballroom to hear said, " My name is Sharon Thompson. I 
am the woman's heavyweight boxing champion of the world and I hereby 
challenge you to a ' battle of the sexes ' to see whose really the best 
boxer on this planet ". After she said this, Sharon comely turned around 
and began to walk out of the room. Before she exited, however, she 
turned around, looked at Bill , winked and said, " I want you ". She 
then laughed, left the hotel and drove home. 

THE NEXT DAY 

"She humiliated me !," Bill Bower screamed at his manager as he held out 
a copy of the morning paper. The picture showed Bill, lying flat on his 
back. Sharon stood over him, smiling with her hands on her hips. " I 
Challenge You ", the headline  read. " She's gonna pay for this ". " 
Bill, she set you up - don't you see ? " his manager said. " It doesn't 
matter, I was humiliated by a girl. Now it's in all the papers. If it's 
a fight she wants, it's a fight she'll get.....I'll kill her in a fair 
fight, you'll see. Tell her that I accept her challenge ". 

Sharon smiled as she put down the phone. " Well that wasn't difficult at 
all, was it ", she said to herself. " Why waste years of litigation when 
all you have to do is spill a drink on somebody and throw a few punches 
". Sharon had just finished speaking to Bill Bower's manager; and they 
had agreed to a championship bout - in just two days. Bill was anxious 
to avenge his humiliation as soon as possible; Sharon was only too happy 
to comply; after all, isn't this what she worked so hard for ? As she 
lay back on her couch a look of total calm came over her beautiful face. 
" Yes, it's going to be wonderful ". 

FIGHT NIGHT 

SLAM !!!  WHAM !!!  The sound reverberated throughout the room as Bill 
Bower pounded the heavy bag. " I'm  gonna KILL HER !! " he screamed. He 
was trying to get himself psyched up for his fight against  Sharon in 
two hours. Across town Sharon got into her car and began to drive 
towards the boxing arena. As she drove passed a beauty parlour she 
looked at her watch," two hours - there's pleanty of time ". She pulled 
up into the parking lot and went inside. " Nancy, I'd like a nice, new 
hair - do ; this is my big night  and I want to look my best ". These 
two scenes couldn't have been more dissimilar : In one was Bill Bower 
angerly pounding away at the punching bag, shouting how he was going to 
smash Sharon into the ground. The other was Sharon, comely sitting in a 
beauty parlour, laughing with her beautician while getting her hair 
done. 

Sharon entered the arena, and was a site to behold. Dressed in a sexy 
pink bikini, with a beautiful new hair - do, she looked like she was 
about to enter a beauty contest -not fight for the heavyweight boxing 
crown. As she climbed into the ring she smiled at the crowd and flexed 
her muscles. That was greeted by thunderous applause from the capacity 
audience. She then blew a kiss at Bill, laughed and said, " are you 
ready to rumble tough guy ?" The announcer entered the ring and, in a 
loud voice bellowed," Ladies and Gentlemen, in this corner standing six 
feet four inches tall and weighing 250 pounds, the undefeated 
heavyweight champion of the world - Bill Bower. And in this corner, at 
five foot six inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, the undefeated 
women's boxing champion -Sharon Thompson. Let the battle of the sexes 
begin ". 

THE FIGHT 

Bill came out fast and furious, hoping to end this quickly. He threw a 
hard punch which Sharon easily ducked under. He threw several more but 
none of them came close to hitting her. So quick was she that she didn't 
even bother to hit him back for the first two minutes of the round. 
Sharon simply smiled as she blocked or avoided everything Bill threw at 
her. " You really are slow aren't you," she giggled. This only made him 
angrier and he tried even harder to land something. After about two 
minutes of this, Sharon began to hit back. Unlike Bill's wild punches, 
hers were lightning fast and accurate. She wasn't hitting him hard, but 
the speed and percision of her fists soon began to take their toll. As 
the bell to end the first round sounded, Bill had blood coming from his 
nose, and a swollen lip. 

As Bill sat down on his stool, his trainer began to work on his face 
while his manager began to shout instructions at him. He stared across 
the ring at Sharon who sat on her stool, comely brushing her beautiful 
hair. She winked at him and smiled. When a reporter asked her why she 
was brushing her hair, she laughed and replied," so that everyone will 
know that the big bad heavyweight champ is being beaten up by a woman ". 

Bill came out more cautiously for the second round. As he and Sharon 
circled each other, she said to him," tell you what big boy, this round 
I'll only hit you in the mid -section; we'll give your face a rest ". 
Even though she told him where she was going to hit him it did little 
good, so fast were Sharon's hands. Bill's punches never seemed to come 
close to her and every time he threw one, he opened himself to Sharon's 
counterattack. By the end of the second round Bill staggered back to his 
corner, heaving from the battering Sharon gave his stomach. " Rest up, 
sweetie pie ", she said to him, " I'll see you in a minute ". 

This time Sharon spent the break flexing her muscles for the crowd. They 
responded with loud cheers. As the third round began Sharon had her back 
to Bill, still flexing. Bill stormed out after her, blind with rage. She 
didn't seem to notice him and as the 250 pound man was about to hit her, 
she suddenly whorled around and caught him with a solid right hook to 
the jaw. " Sneeking up on me, eh. Well it looks like I'm going to have 
to teach you a good lesson ". Sharon then began to give Bill the beating 
of his life. Her 
 punches seemed to come from ten different directions at once and Bill 
was helpless against her onslaught. The smile never left her beautiful 
face as she battered the male boxing champion around the ring. At one 
point,  when he managed to clinch her, he asked in desparation," what do 
you want ? " " I want you ", came her curt reply. After the referee 
separated them Sharon continued to pound the now helpless man . Finally, 
he stood before her, hands at his sides barely able to stand. Sharon 
stood a few inches away from him. She smiled up at her battered opponent 
and made a fist. " Punch ", she said softly as she tapped him on the 
nose. He collapsed like a house of cards. As the referee counted him 
out, Sharon put one foot on his chest and once again flexed for the 
delerious crowd. " The announcer came into the ring and handed Sharon, 
Bill's heavyweight champion belt. Then in a loud voice said: "The winner 
by a knockout at 2:45 of the third round,the new heavyweight champion  
of the world - Sharon Thompson". 

AFTER THE FIGHT 

In the days following her great victory Sharon's life changed 
dramatically. Endorsement offers flowed in. She was offered millions of 
dollars to pitch everything from shampoo and make - up to sports shoes 
and boxing gloves. Her picture appeared on the cover of nearly every 
newspaper and magazine in the world. She became, literally overnight, 
the most sought after person  around. Bill, on the other hand, withdrew 
to his mansion and became a recluse. He wouldn't go out or let anybody 
in. A few days after his humiliating defeat there was a knock on his 
front door. " Who is it ? " be bellowed. There was no answer. Soon there 
was another knock. " Go away and leave me alone " he fumed. Again, 
another knock. Furious, Bill opened the door.....and stared in shock. 

" Hello there sweetie pie, remember me ? " Before the stunned man had a 
chance to slam the door in her face, Sharon pushed past him and entered 
his home." My,my what a lovely home you have here ". It took Bill a few 
seconds to recover from his shock. " What the hell are you doing here, 
Get out now," he demanded. "Now that ' s not very nice of you is it, 
when I came over to see how you were feeling ". " How am I supposed to 
feel after you destroyed me in front of everybody ", he screamed. " Get 
out of here this instant before I.....". "Before you what ? ", Sharon 
interupted. Bill was beside himself with rage now and threw a punch at 
her. Sharon put up her arm and easily blocked it. " I was hoping to have 
a rematch with you someday, I just didn't think you wanted one so soon 
", she laughed. 

For the third time in one week Sharon and Bill squared off against one 
another; and for the third time she beat him up. The first time was to 
challenge him, the second was for his title, this time was just for fun; 
and fun she had. Laughing the whole time she easily battered the 'male ' 
heavyweight champ all around his home. " You know, I think I ought to 
give you boxing lessons ", she teased, " to make it a little more of a 
challenge for me ". At this point Bill ' lost it ' and began to run away 
from her." Where are you going lover boy? ", she giggled as she chased 
him around the house." Is the big, tough fighter afraid of little old me 
? " Sharon finally cornered him in, of all places, the bedroom. There 
was only one door and Sharon stood there smiling. " Looks like you've 
run out of room, honey." Bill was beaten and they both knew it. When 
that realization finally sunk in, the once mighty 250 boxer began to 
cry. "Aw, there there now, what's the matter  big boy ? " Bill stood in 
the corner sobbing," you took away my title, humiliated me in front of 
the whole world, now what do you want ? " Sharon approached him and said 
softly, " I want you ". She bent down, lifted him up on her sholder, 
carried him over to the bed and ploped him down on his back. As she 
mounted him she said, " and now you're mine ". She dominated him as 
easily in bed as she did outside of it. 

THE NEXT DAY 

The reporters began to gather outside of Bill Bower's mansion around 
11:30 a.m. for the press conference. Shortly before noon Sharon looked 
out the window . "Are you ready, honey ? " she asked. Bill looked down 
at his feet and said softly," yes, but do we have to do it this way ? " 
" I'm afraid so "  The front door opened and as the stunned reporters 
looked on Sharon Thompson walked out, carrying Bill Bower over her 
sholder. She smiled as they approached the newsmen. Sharon placed Bill 
down on a chair and sat down on his lap. "Before we begin the press 
conference, I have two announcements to make," Sharon said. "First, Bill 
Bower has decided to retire from boxing to become my manager and 
sparring partner; I'll handle the boxing from now on. Second, we're 
getting married next week ". She playfully tweeked his nose. " Now are 
there any questions ? " Hands shot up and for the next hour Sharon 
patiently answered them. Here are some excerps from Sharon's press 
conference : 

Reporter : Sharon, do you plan to defend your title soon ? Sharon :   Oh 
I'd love to, it would be fun to beat up some more men. Reporter :The top 
contenders are all enraged that a woman is now the heavyweight champion 
of the world. 
                  How do you feel  about that ? Sharon :   Well, I guess 
I'll just have to have a little 'talk' with them won't  I....in the 
ring(laughs). Reporter : Which one do you want to take on first ? Sharon 
:    Let 's be fair, I'll take on all of the top contenders on the same 
night. Reporter : Do you really think you can do that ? Sharon:     
(giggling) never underestimate the power of a woman(she flexes her 
muscles ). 

After an hour of this Sharon smiled and said, " you'll have to excuse us 
now, my hubby - to - be and I have a lot of things to 'work out '. With 
that the mighty woman bent over, lifted Bill up over her sholder again 
and easily carried him back into their mansion. 

ONE WEEK LATER 

Sharon Thompson and Bill Bower were married, appropriately, in a boxing 
ring. After the judge pronounced them ' woman and husband ' she led him 
out of the ring. Sharon then removed her wedding dress, revealing her 
boxing shorts and a shirt on which was written, ' A hard man is good to 
beat '. True to her word, she agreed to take on the top five contenders 
to her title - one after another. As the capacity crown watch in awe, 
five of the toughest men in professional boxing were led into the ring; 
one by one. And one by one they were all carried out;  beaten to a pulp 
by the five foot six inch 150 pound Wonder Woman. In between fights  
Sharon would laugh and joke with the audience,  seemingly unconcerned 
about her next opponent.  After she battered her last challenger into 
submission, Sharon flexed for the crowd and announced, " Billy and 
I are going away on our honeymoon now. When we return, I hope they'll 
be  some 'serious' contenders waiting for me". With that, the mighty  
woman kissed her new husband, took him by the hand and led him out of the 
arena. As she did so, Bill looked at her and said," Sharon you 're 
incredible. You can probably get any man you want ". She laughed, " I 
know..... but I want you ".
