I know there are so many different things that guys like in this fetish, but if you like what I like you should immediately buy this fight.  I bought it (I only review vids that I have purchased with my own hard earned dollars)  and I am blown away by it.

So what do I like?  I like attractive, athletic, evenly matched, amateur women intensely fighting for real.  This vid has it all.  I have known Sammie was my type of fighter for awhile (pretty, lean, athletic, strong)  but I was taking a chance on this other gal Karma.  Well it turns out that she is even more appealing than Sammy. Cute blonde, great body, and terrific fighting spirit.  Reminds me so much of Karine of DWW fame.

They are both 110 pounds and they fight for almost a half hour. With the tats and hairstyles you might get the sense they are fighting for the title "Queen of The Skateboard Park."  It's mostly hard intense ground grappling.  A good deal of  hair pulling, no slaps, a few odd  body punches thrown. No spoilers.  Email me if you want the final score.  It was not a tie. They fight in a ring, which I'm not thrilled by, but it sure cuts down on "off the mat restarts."  There is none of that.

The picture quality is astoundingly good HD (well the file is almost 2 gigs), and the camera work superb.  I'd rated this one 9.5 out of 10.  The only way they could improve would be topless and interviews after the fight which they don't have.

Now get this!  The price is $15. Who could beat that?  And if you buy in August they will give you another vid free.  So its really only $7.50.  Stealing, I say!  Even if it was a lousy fight it would be worth that much, and this fight is cracker jack.

Here are some of my criticisms of this company but they are minor compared to the quality of fight offered.

1.  The website is really confusing and amateurish.  The downloading process was a nightmare and the site offers no help.  Being on a MAC I was using Safari as my web browser with no luck. Finally when I switched over to Firefox things worked but you gotta be patient with a file this size.   Make sure you have Broadband.  It was not easy.

2.  Hard to tell how decent looking the gals are, if that is important to you.  There are a few fighter profiles and a FB page with some pics but it is mostly hit or miss.  I was taking a chance on Karma, but hit a jackpot.

3. They give the girls silly names like "Red Bull" and "Em The Animal" and then ring a bell before each fall.  Cheesy, pro-wrestling nonsense.

4. The producer pushes the idea that "these girls do not like each other!!!!!" I love that if it was true, and with some of the ECC videos there is real animosity, but it just doesn't exist in the FF fights I've seen.  But don't worry, Sammie and Karma really want to win so they fight hard.

I've seen this match, and I agree with all the good things Rich has to say about it.

I posted a comment about the producer in another thread. Here it is:

Freshfite are a good company, the only wrestling/grappling oriented producer I still buy from on a regular basis, being more into catfights nowadays than fem/fem wrestling.
The producer himself described his matches as MMA crossed with catfighting, which sums them up nicely.  Hair pulling is allowed, and some matches also have slapping and body punching, but not "full force", which suits me fine.
Catfight fans like me will find something to enjoy in most of these fights, eg, the very attractive girls! Fans of unscripted fem/fem wrestling will love them. And, with the buy one get one free offer they seem to have going most of the time, they are great value for money.

Re some of Rich's criticisms: Since they began using FB to give info about the fights and fighters, the main site has become nothing more than a downloads catalogue with a short description of each match. They stopped updating the girls photos and win - loss records quite a while back. I agree, FB is always a bit hit and miss.

Using Firefox with Ubuntu as my operating system, downloading is simplicity itself. I just right click the link, "save as", verify password, and the download begins. With firefox in Windows, it was a little more complicated. After verifying my pass word, the video would immediately begin to stream, and I needed a download helper to save it.

I also could do without the pro wrestling type nonsense!

Rich's final criticism, comparing Freshfite to ECC, is very apt.

The Freshfite producer is an MMA coach. He trains the girls he films himself, which is how they learn all the BJJ type moves. And most, I'm sure, will have sparred each other before the actual match. This does make for physically intense and eventful fights, but is a double edged sword, in my opinion.

Sammie vs Karma was a great little scrap. The girls looked fantastic and gave it absolutely everything they had. But still, it was a submission grappling match, a test of skill and gym fitness, rather than a "fight" so defeat didn't hurt the losers pride or have any emotional effect upon her whatsoever.

This is not the case in the best ECC fights - the ones which pitch two untrained ladies who have never clapped eyes on each other before straight into a real catfight, with feminine pride at stake and every submission conceded hurting the girl who has to give up emotionally, as well as physically.

That approach, when it works, produces fights with an emotional edge and intensity you are never going to get from girls who train and spar together. It also, inevitably, throws up the odd damp squib. The firecracker which fizzles a lot but never actually explodes.

The Freshfite approach doesn't throw up any damp sqibs. But it doesn't produce fights with the genuine animosity of the best ECC fights either. C'est la vie!

It would actually be difficult for any female fight fan not to like something about Freshfite.  

As I said, the matches have elements which will please both wrestling and catfight fans. And for lovers of the real amazons and "tough women", they have ladies like the powerful and skillful Tia, who competes successfully in submission grappling tournaments outside of Freshfite.

It's also true that in some of the fights there is real rivalry and needle between the girls involved.

Eg, FFV43, Sammie and Jade's first fight, happened because of an argument the two of them had at work, and it actually reminded me a lot, while I was watching it, of Irish vs Michelle#2, an ECC fight which was released around about the same time. The sense of genuine bitchy rivalry, as well as the kind of tactics used, were similar in both clashes.

Another Freshfite bitchfest was FFV06, Em the Animal (then known as Jezabel) vs Pandora, a clash between warring room-mates which saw one girl dominating the other, who did not enjoy the experience at all, at one point screaming, "Fuck you! Fucking bitch!" at the top of her lungs.

In FFV10, Tia vs Sannah, both girls lost their tempers completely, lying on the mat and flailing away furiously with their legs. This was back in the days before Tia acquired the bulging muscles and BJJ training she has now, otherwise Sannah would have been in BIG trouble there.

Mmmm .... I'm not sure this Lacee/Sammie/Jade rivalry thing is entirely kosher, if you know what I mean.

For me, there was something missing from Sammie and Jade's second fight. It was a nice little scrap, but It didn't give me the "reality buzz" I got from their first. Like I said, having the girls train and spar together is a double edged sword.

Then when Laycee appeared, supposedly with some kind of grudge or rivalry going on with BOTH of them, that made me a little suspicious, especially when the producer described her as a "pro wrestler in training", so I didn't watch any of her fights with either Sammie or Jade.

Are you telling me I made a mistake there?

[DoYouKnowWhoIAm?]

It's the "sports fight" vibe which separates Freshfite from, say, ECC. Plus the fact that, as you say, it's kind of a family where the fighters get to know each other pretty well.

I don't think ECC film many fetish models, btw. And it's the fights between the "real girls", like Irish, Johanna, Lexie and Michelle, that I enjoy the most from that particular producer

[DoYouKnowWhoIAm?]

I think so.....laycee was/is a firecracker IMO.

I've actually seen some of Lacee's fights, one vs Cami and a couple from the live events. She's very pretty and looks good when she fights, so I wasn't knocking her.

It was just her matches with Sammie and Jade I stayed away from, simply because I suspected that the thing she had going with them was one of those pro wrestling type rivalries, which don't really work for me.

Bringing Catzreview into the discussion opens up a whole variety of questions about the differences between UK and US producers, some of which have their roots in the different cultures of the two nations, rather than the ethos of the producers, in my opinion.
