Now it’s time for the highlight of the evening and, indeed, as far as the senior circuit is concerned, the highlight of the year – the fight for the fifth senior boxing title.
Miss Tee has dominated the qualifying rounds but her disastrous loss to Ellen in the final round means that she ended as the runner up in the qualifying rounds and has to face Ellen again tonight. Ellen wants her title back and I’m sure Miss Tee wants to make up for her humiliation last time they met so this should be a great fight.
Ellen enters the ring first in the blue corner. She is in her usual outfit of a short black silk kimono and black panties with large white polka dots. Her shaggy blonde hair framing her face but stopping short of her shoulders. She is joined in her corner by her trainer, the current league boxing champion Erica.
Moments later Miss Tee enters the ring in the red corner. She’s wearing a white fleece house coat that comes down to her knees Her waist length chestnut brown hair is plaited into a single long ponytail that reaches down to her shapely backside. Accompanying her is her trainer, former league boxing champion Emily.
Gabi announces the fighters:
“Ladies and gentlemen. Introducing your two finalists, fighting for the title of senior boxing champion. In the blue corner. 55 years of age, weight 155lbs, standing 5 feet 7 inches and measuring 38c-28-42 – Ellen Shaw!”
Ellen slips of the kimono to reveal her gorgeous breasts. She is wearing her favourite black panties with the big white polka dots, black gloves and black calf length boxing boots.
“And the in red corner, 49 years of age, also weighing 155lbs standing 5 feet 9 inches and measuring 38b- 29-43 – Miss Tee!”
Miss Tee slips off her house coat to reveal that, white gloves and boots aside, she is completely naked!
If Miss Tee hopes to score a psychological advantage over her opponent with her nudity, she is sadly disappointed. Ellen regards her with an amused smile before calling across the ring:
“What’s up Tee? Have you run out of clean knickers?”
A sullen scowl is Miss Tee’s only response but Ellen isn’t done with her taunting:
“I thought we’d seen enough of your hairy holes when Jan got hold of you. I’d love to service you in the way she did but these gloves make it tricky. I guess you’ll just have to wait until I knock you out and I can take them off.”
Miss Tee says nothing. If she had hoped that Ellen would rise to the challenge and also fight naked the blonde’s next comment is also a disappointment.
“You can fight me in the buff if you like, personally I’m keeping my pants on.”
Gabi calls the fighters together in the centre of the ring for a brief discussion of the rules. Ellen clearly makes another catty remark as Miss Tee suddenly shouts “Bitch” and raises a gloved hand threateningly at the blonde. Gabi admonishes her but doesn’t signal a caution and both women return to their corners for a final preparation with their trainers.
Moments later the bell sounds for the start of round one and we’re straight into the action. Ellen’s remarks before the match have clearly got Miss Tee riled up. She comes out swinging at the bell and soon has Ellen in trouble along the ropes. A series of lefts and rights force Ellen to cover up and retreat to her corner where Miss Tee batters her with a series of body blows. It’s first blood to the brunette as Gabi steps in to administer a standing count to the blonde.
When the action resumes Ellen goes on the attack and catches Miss Tee off guard with a right hook that connects with her left temple. Miss Tee goes down on her right side and is momentarily stunned. Gabi starts counting and she makes it up at 7. Gabi counts to 9 and then waves Ellen back in.
The pair continue to trade punches fairly evenly for a minute or so before a solid jab from Miss Tee connects with Ellen’s left breast. The blonde lowers her guard and is rewarded with a right hook to the jaw which drops her to her knees for a count of 8.
Somewhat shaken by the knockdown, Ellen goes on the defensive but rides out Miss Tee’s attacks for the last few seconds on the round.
At the bell both women seem grateful for the break and retreat to their respective corners. The judges score the round evenly so the early standing count gives Miss Tee the edge going into the second round at 6 points to 5.
At the start of the second round Ellen goes on the attack and soon has Miss Tee backing up onto the ropes. Before Gabi can intervene, a right hook to the temple puts the brunette down along the ropes. Miss Tee is on her back with her left arm hanging over the ring apron. Gabi begins to count and at 3 the brunette rolls over and gets to her hands and knees. She’s on her feet at 7 but takes a full 9 count before resuming her guard.
Ellen attacks again and a left/right combination to the chest doubles Miss Tee up before a right upper cut drops her to her knees. This time she takes a count of 8 before coming to her feet and resuming her guard.
Ellen continues to dominate the action, pushing the brunette around the ring and landing three blows to each of Miss Tee’s. With a little over a minute of round two gone another right hook from the blonde connects with Miss Tee temple and she goes down for a third time. This time she takes a 9 count and looks slightly the worse for wear as the action resumes.
Ellen attacks again but this time Miss Tee shuts her down and the two trade punches for the next 90 seconds until Miss Tee again finds a way through Ellen’s defences with a left cross to the jaw and the blonde goes down again. She makes it up at 9 and the round ends a few seconds later.
Once again both women seem to welcome the bell, the pace of this match is intense and both are breathing hard as their seconds work on them. Emily seems concerned about Miss Tee’s left temple. Two of the three punches that have knocked her down so far have connected there. The judges scores are in and the extra knockdowns have given Ellen the edge as she takes ten points to Miss Tee’s four and leads 15-10 going in to round three.
Knowing she is five points behind spurs Miss Tee on and she comes out swinging at the start of round three.
Ellen goes on the defensive but it isn’t long before Miss Tee drives and upper cut between her breasts and connects with her jaw. The blonde goes down on her back. At the count of 4 she pushes herself up on her elbows, looking visibly stunned before getting to her feet at 9.
Miss Tee goes on the attack again but badly misjudges as Ellen side steps her wild swings and drives another right hook into her left temple. Miss Tee goes face down on the mat and the count reaches 5 before she pushes herself up and gets shakily to her feet.
Miss Tee is definitely in trouble here and it isn’t long before she goes down again, this time from a blow to the breasts. She is on her knees holding her chest and takes the full 9 count before getting to her feet and resuming her guard.
Once again Ellen attacks and Miss Tee retreats into a neutral corner. Gabi goes to intervene just as Ellen drives a solid right upper cut directly into Miss Tee’s sex. The brunette is all but lifted off her feet by the force of the blow. Her mouth opens wide in a scream and her gum shield goes flying as she drops to her knees, gloved hands between her thighs before pitching forward to rest her forehead on the mat. It seems that she has literally passed out from the pain.
Moments later sobbing reveals that she had regained consciousness, although she remains with her head on the mat and her arse in the air gently rocking between sobs. Gabi admonishes Ellen for the deliberate low blow. Ellen shows no remorse and returns to her corner with a satisfied look on her face, clearly believing she had knocked the fight out of Miss Tee.
Miss Tee remains on her knees in a foetal position, head down gloved hands between her thighs, gently moaning and sobbing for the whole of the break, ignoring Emily’s urgent calls for her to get up and come to her corner where she could help her.
Despite the low blow the judges score the round in Ellen’s favour and the gap widens, it is now 23-16 to the blonde.
As the one-minute break comes to an end Gabi goes over to the brunette, bends down and asks if she is able to continue. Miss Tee raises her head; tears streaking her cheeks and indicates that she is. Gabi graciously wipes the fallen Amazon's eyes with a towel and hands her back her gum shield. Miss Tee inserts the gum shield as the bell rings and Gabi starts counting.
The brunette gets slowly to her feet at 8 and Gabi waves Ellen in. Round four is under way but Miss Tee has conceded two points without a punch being thrown. On her feet Miss Tee still looks uncomfortable and backs cautiously around the ring.
Already ahead in this round Ellen clearly thinks she has her opponent beaten and attacks her mercilessly. After a minute of one-sided action, the brunette is hanging on to the blonde who is pummelling her mid-section. Gabi steps in and gives Miss Tee a standing count of 9.
Shortly after the action resumes Miss Tee goes down again to a right hook from the blonde. She takes another 9 count but as she gets to her feet the ‘Miss Tee look’ is back on her face, a mix of anger and determination that says “I’m not done yet”.
And she clearly isn’t as she goes on the attack and soon has Ellen retreating into a neutral corner where she receives a standing count of 8.
Gabi waves Miss Tee back in and she hits the blonde with a series of blows to the midriff and breasts. Ellen is backed onto the ropes, covering up from the onslaught and Gabi intervenes to award another standing count of 9.
With 30 seconds of the round remaining Ellen is still back pedalling under a hail of blows from the brunette but Miss Tee seems unable to land a telling punch. That is until a left right combination to Ellen’s tits brings her guard down and a right hook sends her sprawling to the mat. For a moment it looks like the match may be over but Ellen staggers to her feet at 9 and manages to hold the brunette off until the end of the round.
When the bell rings a clearly frustrated Ellen returns to the blue corner. She started the round in total control and finished it on the back foot. Instead of returning to the red corner, her opponent follows her and, when to blonde turns round, says to her:
“I won’t be beaten by cheating, bitch.”
Ellen says nothing in reply but delivers with a clubbing right hook to the temple that puts the brunette on the mat yet again. The blonde takes a step towards the fallen Miss Tee, gloves raised and threatening. But Gabi steps in, her hands held up to block Ellen’s path and warns her off:
“Ellen, you get two cautions and then you’re out. This is your second one. One more step out of line and I’ll disqualify you.”
Ellen backs up and settles on the stool Erica has put in her corner.
Gabi turns to Miss Tee. who is on her hands and knees still getting up from Ellen’s last punch and says:
“The same goes for you miss, you provoked that and you deserve everything you got, including a first caution from me. Now go back to your corner and let’s have no more stupidity. This should be a clean fight.”
Miss Tee retreats to her own corner where an angry Emily exchanges a few choice words about foolhardiness before setting about treating the swelling that is developing around Miss Tee’s left eye.
The judges’ scores are in and they have given three points to each fighter. Ellen extends her lead again and the match stands at 31-23 to the blonde going into the fifth round. The brunette has it all to do if she’s going to close the gap.
At the sound of the bell Miss Tee comes out swinging and soon has Ellen covering up and retreating around the ring. A hail of punches from the brunette eventually forces the blonde to her knees. It’s difficult to tell exactly which blow puts her down but it’s clear Ellen needs the respite and takes the full 9 count before rising.
Miss Tee attacks again but, once again, misjudges things as Ellen slips away, landing another blow to her temple as she goes. Miss Tee staggers against the ropes but remains on her feet. Now Ellen goes on the attack and forces Miss Tee into a corner where Gabi steps in with another standing count.
Miss Tee is clearly unhappy about this and is quickly back on the attack. This time a left right combination to the head leaves the blonde stunned and a right cross puts her face down in her own corner. Ellen is clearly in a lot of trouble but manages to pull herself up on the ropes at 9.
Although she’s on her feet Ellen is far from recovered and puts up only a half hearted defence as Miss Tee wades in again. It looks like Miss Tee is hoping to wrap things up as she throws caution to the wind and lays into Ellen with a series of wild punches. From the red corner Emily is screaming at Miss Tee to watch out and cover up but the brunette ignores her warning. Fortunately for her the groggy blonde is in no state to respond and eventually a clubbing right hook sees Ellen going face down on the mat.
The count reaches 6 before Ellen lifts her head and pushes herself slowly to her hands and knees, staggering to her feet just in time to beat the count. She stands unsteadily as Gabi checks her over but the referee rules her fit to continue and waves Miss Tee back in.
Again Miss Tee looks to finish the blonde off and again she fails. As the round draws to a close, she has Ellen pinned on the ropes delivering a tattoo of punches to the older woman’s belly. Gabi intervenes to deliver a standing count just as the bell sounds. Another point to the brunette and the gap closes to just two points.
As and exhausted looking Ellen makes her way back to her corner, she mouths a single word to Erica – “Pee”. It seems that as well as taking a pounding from the brunette for the past two minutes she’s also been fighting her bladder. By the time she reaches her corner a bucket has be put in place and she gratefully allows her second to pull her panties down while she squats to relieve herself. In the red corner Miss Tee slumps, breathing heavily, while Emily examines her left eye which is clearly swollen and partially closed.
Meanwhile the judges’ points are added to the scores. They have scored the fifth round 4-2 to the brunette and the match is tied with both women on 34 points going into the final round.
Toilette attended to; Ellen allows Erica to run a towel between her legs but as the younger woman goes to pull her briefs up for her, she shakes her head. Instead, she sits on her stool and allows Erica to remove them completely. Miss Tee has finally got her wish as, going into the final round, Ellen is as a naked as she is.
The bell rings for the final round and both women come out on the attack, completely naked save for gloves and boots. Ellen dominates the initial action, forcing Miss Tee to retreat until another clubbing right hook connects with her face and she goes down again. For a moment it looks like it could be over but the brunette is made of sterner stuff. She has fought back from 8 points down and isn’t about to give up now.
She gets to her feet at 9 and immediately goes on the attack again. There is another savage exchange of blows and this time it’s the blonde on the deck again from another right cross to the jaw. Ellen struggles to her hands and knees at 7 and just beats the count.
The action resumes and they trade punches for a few seconds before, both nearing exhaustion, they embrace in a mutual clinch, bodies slick with sweat and glistening. Gabi separates them and awards a standing count of 9 to both fighters.
The scores advance to 37-37, there is still nothing between them as the ref waves ‘fight on’. Miss Tee continues to use her height and reach, thrusting at Ellen’s body with her fists as Ellen backs away. Ellen stays low looking for openings and focusing on the brunette’s left side, knowing that her swollen eye has limited visibility.
Miss Tee’s left eye had now closed noticeably under Ellen’s continued assault. A sharp left to the breast from the brunette brings Ellen’s guard down and is followed by a hard, straight right. But as she throws the punch Miss Tee fails to see Ellen’s right hook approaching her almost blind left eye.
Miss Tee’s punch hits Ellen between the eyes just as Ellen’s crashes into the side of her face. Both women go down hard. The straight right knocks Ellen flat on her back while the right hook spins Miss Tee round and she goes face down in front of her own corner. The two felled amazons lay with their feet close together but heads pointed in different directions, their prone bodies at 4 o’clock to each other. Gabi starts counting, this could be it:
“1… 2… 3…”
Neither woman is moving it seems they may both be done.
“4... 5…”
Miss Tee raises her head.
Ellen moves her right arm.
“6…”
Miss Tee reaches out for the ropes with her right hand.
Ellen raises her head.
“7…”
Miss Tee grabs the middle rope with her right hand and pulls herself towards it.
Ellen sits up.
“8…”
Miss Tee grabs the bottom rope with her left hand.
Ellen tries to push herself up but keels over on her right side.
“9…”
Miss Tee grabs the top rope with her left hand and starts to pull herself up.
Ellen gets to her hands and knees.
“10…”
Miss Tee tries to grasp the top rope with her right hand but misses and ends up rolling onto her back, head resting on the bottom turn buckle. A trickle of blood is now evident on her left temple and a small puddle of golden liquid has formed on the mat between her legs – she’s wet herself.
Ellen is on her knees facing the ropes. She tries to stand but pitches face forward back to the mat.
Gabi signals to Sallie, the time keeper, not to ring the bell and keeps counting:
“11…”
Miss Tee grips the ropes again, this time on either side of the corner and slowly starts to pull herself up.
Ellen also starts to pull herself up on the ropes on the opposite side of the ring.
“12…”
Miss Tee is hanging from the top ropes and is trying to get her legs to support her.
Ellen has both hands on the middle rope and is on her knees.
“13…”
Miss Tee manages to push herself to her feet.
Ellen hauls herself up but is hanging over the top rope unable to stand.
“14…”
Miss Tee lets go of the ropes and takes a faltering step forward.
Gabi see her and checks on Ellen. Ellen is still hanging over the top rope.
Gabi signals for the bell. It rings and Miss Tee sinks to her knees again.
Neither woman is fit to continue, whether they want to or not, so Gabi signals to the trainers into enter the ring and aid their fighters.
Ellen is on her feet but clearly unstable as she’s guided to her stool by Erica.
Miss Tee. although kneeling in her own corner, needs a few seconds more rest before she pulls herself up on the ropes again and allows Emily to place the stool under her backside.
There are general mutterings among the spectators, no one is quite sure what has happened. Gabi is leaning over the ropes talking urgently to Jay, Sallie and Christine. After a few seconds Gabi heads over to the red corner and has a quick word with Emily and Miss Tee.
Jay has now climbed into the ring as well. Gabi crosses to the blue corner and speaks to Erica and Ellen. Erica is clearly unhappy about something and a short but angry exchange in German takes place before she turns back to her fighter.
Gabi and Jay talk some more before Gabi signals for both fighters to join her in the centre of the ring. Both move slowly but unaided and once she has hold of both their arms she announces:
“Ladies and gentlemen. After two minutes and five seconds of the sixth round. Both fighters having equal points and neither being able to beat the 10 count I extend the count until the first fighter was able to stand unaided and could be declared the winner. That fighter, the winner of this fight and your new senior boxing champion is Miss Tee.”
She raises Miss Tee’s arm. Most of the crowd applauds but there is some booing and voices of dissent. The words “10 count”, “unfair”, “biased referee” and “double knockout” can be heard.
Eager to calm things down Jay then addresses the room:
“Ladies and gentlemen. The fight you have just witnessed in unprecedented in our club’s history. Your experienced referee has used her judgement to get a definitive result to this match. However, in doing so, she has overridden the 10 count rule, a cornerstone of our match rules. I will convene a tribunal to rule on whether this result stands in the next few weeks. Until that time I ask you to show your appreciation to our new champion, Miss Tee…”
The crowd applauds loudly.
“…and to our gallant runner up, Ellen.”
Again, the crowd applauds loudly.
Both fighters can be seen weeping and, much to everyone’s surprise given the vehemence of the last 30 minutes, turn and embrace each other briefly before returning to their corners and heading for their respective dressing rooms.
