Since we are discussing the fights I will make some comments. All remarks are my opinions and guesses completely devoid of even the smallest known facts:
Jess vs Mira 2 - I don't think there was any animosity between the two women in their first match. Jess was bigger, had more experience and so tossed Mira around quite handily. Come match #2. Mira has gotten more experience and has put on some weight making her much closer to Jess in size. I suspect Mira is a naturally competitive person. Jess probably came into the match considering it, "Just another show". Mira was looking to prove herself and perhaps get some "payback". From the start of match #2, Mira came on like a bulldozer. She had Jess down and on her back fairly quickly. From there on it got quite ugly and stayed that way for the rest of the match. By this point, my guess is that Jess was pissed and considered this to be over the top. For Mira, she was content to stay on top and torture Jess until she gave up. Long, exciting, rough match and when things turn at the end they turn FAST and ROUGH. By the time we come to Jess vs Mira 3, Jess knows the score going in. Another pretty nasty catfight but this time BOTH want to prove something from the word GO.
Bella vs Nikki - Bella clearly has some skills and clearly has fought before. I have always thought Nikki has been in a few catfights. Nikki's approach has always been straight forward. Get her hair. Get her on the ground. Get on top. Slap and beat her till she submits. In every video I have seen her in, she approaches it as a FIGHT, not a wrestling match, not a show. This makes her very effective in the Suitefights format. Bella matches her in this and the results are an AMAZING catfight battle. I get no sense the women hate each other but, both approach it as a FIGHT and it shows in the results.
Jackie Faye vs Misty - What makes this catfight so charming is that it is a very girly fight, while being very even and hard fought. I've never seen Jackie Faye in a catfight video before or since, but again she clearly seems to have experience probably from real life. When she and Misty get in reach she GOES for Misty's hair in a very direct, no-nonsense way. Misty seems a little surprised at the start. Once down on the floor, they tangle closely, pull hair nonstop and spend a lot of time exchanging slaps in the clench. In many ways this is the cattiest of the three catfights
Many of the other catfights mentioned in this thread are all Excellent. In regards to Mila vs Sarah I consider the Phat fight better perhaps only because it was first. Both contests were very, very good.
Mila's approach is much like Nikki's. Mila grabs hair. Kicks till they are on the ground then gets on top and beats them. Simple. Direct. Effective.
Sarah is an amazing catfighter, clearly one of the best today. The hardest trick is to find someone who can match her. She isn't that big physically but, she has wrestling skills, is quite strong for her size and has amazing stamina. Years ago my brother-in-law once told me, "The first person to run out of gas in a fight loses." You see this again and again in Sarah's catfights. They start out tossing her around but she wears them down in wrestling grips and finally they are exhausted. Then she owns them. For the best Sarah Brooke fight, Sarah vs Lora is a barn burner.
So just some thoughts from someone who has obsessed over the subject of catfights far too long for my own good.
Happy 4th,
