Sunny McKay vs. P.J. Sparxx (boxing) - by Kim (from wire service reports)

Hello everyone! This is Brenda "your star reporter" Starr with the highlights of what had promised to be and indeed turned out to be, another 'wild and woolly' fight from the infamous "Tender Trap" in 'anything goes Amsterdam, Holland.'

Since the night a few weeks ago when wild PJ Sparxx gave sexy Sunny McKay a surprise and unwelcome interruption during her feature number, Sunny had been clamoring to get PJ in the boxing ring. For those few of you who missed that story, I'll just tell you that PJ came out and took over the stage. She pushed Sunny around, flattened her on the floor and left her hogtied with her own rope as Sunny's one-time fans carried her out in triumph on their shoulders. The so called "wonder from down under" could do nothing but squirm vainly between sobs since PJ had shown her, and everyone else, just who the boss was from start to finish. I've heard that since then, PJ's been rubbing salt into the pretty blonde's wounds every chance she got.

We do know, for example, PJ's taken all the starring roles Sunny used to get. It's left Sunny begging club manager, Jeanna Fine, for another chance. Jeanna really knows how to twist the knife too, putting on all sorts of 'but first' conditions to keep Sunny off balance. But now it appears even a sadist like Jeanna has her limits. At last, she's relented and is permitting a fight.

"Fine!" said Fine finally, "... but remember Sunny, be careful what you pray for, you just might get it".

Sooooo, heeere we are... It's show time for the showdown.

I talked to Sunny shortly before the fight and asked if she was getting worried now that it was time for her to get back into a fight with PJ, a girl who (according to my confidential source) out-danced, out-sexed and out-fought her the last time that they were on the same stage.

Sunny had 'excuses' ready - pointing out that the last time they faced each other she'd already done almost two full shows before PJ arrived. Also, Sunny claimed that PJ ambushed her and that she suffered from a stomach bug that had bitten her earlier in the week. So, naturally, Sunny says she was no where near her top form. She added that tonight would be another story, that she'd been training and feeling good and clean.

Huuuummm, come to think of it 'clean' would be different for that dirty little tart. Of course, when I pointed out that she'd said the same thing about being 'trained and ready' right before Heather Hunter knocked her out in the fourth round.

She seemed to blanch and then hurried off to her dressing room without any response at all.

Coincidentally, that was just about the same time that PJ came strutting out of her dressing room, smiling in her usual cocky, self-assured fashion. PJ laughed when I asked if she was worried that Sunny might be better trained in boxing and could actually beat her this time. She told me she was going to come out fast and put the 'heat' on Sunny right from the beginning, that everyone better watch close 'cause it might be over fast.

That was right before they were called into to the center of the ring.

Both had agreed to fight topless, wearing only their g-strings and they stood close, their nipples almost touching, each staring into the others eyes. The Dutch ref, read the instructions and reminded them they'd agreed to fight eight rounds. If both were still standing after that, the decision would be determined by three judges seated at ringside. PJ smiled and jabbed Sunny in the gut, saying something that caused Sunny to shove her away with a sneer before she turned and headed to her corner.

*****

Round 1: PJ came out fast and furious, just as she said she planned, throwing bombs and obviously looking to hurt Sunny. McKay seemed surprised at first; she ducked and twisted away, avoiding most, but not all and a few actually landing on her back before she got her legs going and danced away. She stayed out of range during the middle of the round as PJ continued to flail away with both hands. Then Sunny, sensing that PJ didn't have any real plan, started to move in close between PJ's big bombs and she landed a rather good-looking jab often enough to wipe the smug grin from Sparxx' face by the time the bell sounded ending round one.

Between rounds: As they went to their corners, I noticed that it was Sunny doing most of the smiling and PJ shook her head in obvious frustration that she wasn't able to even hurt Sunny. Sunny sat listening to her coach as she waited calmly for the second.

****

Round 2 was like the end of the first all over again. PJ coming forward constantly, swinging wildly with her right hand and Sunny continued to make her pay. That 'automatic' jab of hers kept finding PJ's right eye, and as the round wore on, it started to swell. I saw a tickle of blood oozing out of her nose, too. McKay was doing damage, but PJ didn't seem hurt, in part because McKay was backing away as she fought although she clearly was piling up points.

Between rounds: I could see PJ shaking her head again and spitting, maybe some blood. Moving closer to get a better idea, I could hear her coach telling her to settle down and cut off the ring so that Sunny would have to stand still and fight. She told her she needed to hit McKay a couple in her gut to slow her down and that's what I was expecting to see when in the next round.

*****

Round 3: That seemed to be what Sparxx wanted to do as she came forward this time, not throwing those awkward bombs but holding her gloves up, more cautious. But Sunny seemed to have a plan for that too. She started moving more side-to-side and following up her jab. It appeared that PJ was a bit better, at first taking them on her gloves, but Sunny started landing hard right hooks to PJ's ribs and PJ didn't seem to like that at all. But by the middle of the round PJ was back leading with her right, and that was catching Sunny, mainly on her shoulders and upper arms. Toward the end of the round, Sunny seemed ready to stop and trade with the bustier PJ and she busted her up too. Sunny scored with a couple of quick upper cuts that PJ took on her chin and buckled her knees. For the first time in the fight PJ was backing up when the bell rang.

Between rounds: Sunny strutted back to her corner, with her arms raised as her fans cheered. She was smiling, obviously pleased and confident with her performance. PJ dropped heavily to her stool, looking tired and discouraged, her ribs red and her face looking 'bitchy'. They were yelling at her, but she just seemed to shake her head and curse as she draped her arms heavily over the middle rope.

*****

Round 4: They helped PJ up and pushed her out of her corner as Sunny waited in the middle, gesturing PJ to come to her, again. PJ hesitated, like she was wondering what to do, then she moved out after the elusive blonde, who was up and dancing on her toes, circling, flicking out a pretty sharp jab, like she was doing a Muhammed Ali impersonation. PJ was obviously confused by Sunny's speed and the movement and just stood there taking punches. When PJ was able to get off a punch it looked desperate and clumsy, and Sunny really made her pay a price. PJ's 'bomb' would slip by and Sunny would step inside and nail PJ in the face, causing sweat to fly off the bleached blonde's head as it snapped back or to the side. Towards the late part of the round, Sunny had PJ in a full and confused retreat. She just picked her openings - face, stomach, and right at the last, smashing PJ' breasts. The breast bashing really seemed to rattle Sparxx. After taking a few of those she seemed relieved at hearing the bell, but she wandered off towards the wrong corner with her gloves holding her breasts

Between rounds: Sunny was really focused at this point, throwing and landing way more than PJ who'd been totally outclassed to this point of the fight. Clearly, Sunny had won every round so far - and she knew it! She didn't even use her stool between rounds, she looked eager to get started on PJ again.

*****

Round 5: saw PJ trying to come forward again, but Sunny had everything working now. She'd hit PJ with about five shots before PJ, discouraged, would back off try and reset and then come back at her again, only to be stung even harder. Toward the middle of the round, PJ charged in with her gloves up and tried to tie McKay up with her arms. It seemed it would degenerate into a wrestling match, it was starting to look really bad. Sparxx would try to wrestle the slimmer McKay back against the ropes, seemly desperate to make her stand still. Sunny for her part would pound PJ's flanks and ribs till the ref came in and made 'em break. I could tell Sunny was talking to PJ, but couldn't make out the words over the crowd noise and the 'splat' of Sunny's gloves hitting PJ's body. The ref had to pull PJ away as she tried to hit Sunny after the bell. He shoved her towards a corner while Sunny smiled and taunted her, enjoying the dishing out of revenge.

Between rounds: PJ could be seen pounding her gloves together, looking tired and frustrated and with a questioning look on her face like she was asking how many more of these painful rounds was she going to have on endure. PJ's team seemed to have to coax her to get up at the bell for the sixth round.

*****

Round 6: Sunny again was gesturing PJ to come forward to get more of the punishment she was obviously enjoying inflicting on her hated rival. PJ ambled awkwardly forward with her gloves high looking almost frightened. As she closed in on the faster blonde, Sunny was waiting with her gloves low, like she was winding up to throw a 'bolo' punch. Sparxx' seemed to leap forward almost ramming McKay with her head and Sunny flicked out a long right that just missed. PJ seemed to turn away, almost like she was flinching. But then she straightened up and, from somewhere, brought a wickedly low right in that popped Sunny right in the her middle. For the first time in several rounds McKay backed away, her mouth open. PJ suddenly seemed to come back to life as she reloaded that right and cracked Sunny in the jaw. McKay's mouth piece flew out into the crowd and she staggered away, hands limp. She was clearly hurt as she stumbled back and leaned against the ropes. PJ was on top of her immediately, banging away at McKay's slender waist three or four times and then a couple of more up-stairs. McKay was trying desperately to block but with little success. She was battered along the ropes into the corner. Weakly, she tried to push PJ way, but it did little to stop the bombing as PJ started to concentrate on Sunny's firm little chest, each punch bringing a little grunt from the wounded blonde. PJ even continued after the bell sounded. Sunny dropped to her knees and PJ smacked the side of her so hard that it sent Sunny sprawled out on her back on the mat where she stayed 'til her cornermen came and half carried her back to her corner.

Between rounds: Panic reigned as they tried to get Sunny ready for the seventh. They used at least three ammonia capsules to get her alert and slapping her face as they talked to her. Someone from her corner asked for more time, reasoning that she deserved it since PJ had continued to hit her when she was down - and after the bell, too! The pleading didn't seem to do any good, but it seemed to delay the start of the seventh round for a good thirty or forty seconds. Even then, Sunny had to be coaxed up at the bell.

*****

Round 7: Maybe it was the adrenaline brought on by fear, but Sunny looked to have her legs again and she used them to keep her self away from PJ, who was stalking confidently now. Sunny held her gloves together in front of her chin, almost as if she were begging PJ not to hit her, but if so, it wasn't working. PJ cut off her retreat and trapped Sunny on the ropes but Sunny was able to tie PJ's hands up so all she could do was get in a few thumping body shots before the ref would come and force a break. Sunny would dance back and away and the chase would be on again! This time when PJ got her in a corner she landed two hooks and a hard uppercut to Sunny's breasts that really brought tears to the eyes of the slender blonde before she leaned against PJ, tying her up again. At the break, I heard PJ swearing and hissing, "Fight me bitch!!!" but Sunny just shook her head and ducked behind the ref, then ran away again. With time winding down, PJ got in close again, but this time Sunny managed a couple of jabs but PJ just walked right through them and pounded a one-two to McKay's gut followed by a cracking uppercut that dropped Sunny again. The bell rang with Sunny on her knees. She fell face down when she tried to stand, then she fell again trying to rise and had to be helped to her corner.

Between rounds: They were yelling at Sunny, "Just hang on one more round. You're ahead on the cards." It looked like she merely needed to finish on her feet to win the decision.

*****

Round 8: That seemed to have gotten through to McKay's 'shell shocked' brain, because she was defiantly stuck in survival mode as she avoided, then wrestled with PJ as the final round got underway. For her part, PJ was trying to finish McKay off and it looked like she would if she could land one or two good shots in a row. Those famously long, tanned and sinewy McKay dancers legs now looked like they were shot themselves, threatening to collapse every time she had to move very far. Surprisingly however, what was working in Sunny's favor was that PJ seemed out of gas herself. She was punching alright, but slower and with no power. The crowd was on their feet, everyone cheering for their favorite as the two weary battlers leaned in against each other, arms wrestling to tie-up and punch at the same time, with little success at either. Then in the final minute, from somewhere, Sunny managed to throw a single punch that caught PJ flush on the chin. I could see the shapelier boxer's legs lock and she staggered like she was about to go. Surprisingly though, rather than take the opportunity to finish, Sunny moved away, circling cautiously instead of going for the knockout. Everyone was stunned. As the bell sounded to end the fight boos rained down on the ring.

After: Following talk between the ref and the judges, the decision came: Unanimous decision for Sunny McKay.

*****

There were plenty of whistles and catcalls from PJ's fans at the announcement, and maybe Sunny's too for the way she let the fight fizzle rather than going for a decisive finish but McKay had shown everyone that she could out box Sparxx and that she had the heart to keep fighting on even when badly hurt. She fought smartly, if not popularly, going for the sure win rather than trying for the more dramatic, but risky knockout. Sunny got her revenge, although PJ made it a painful one. For her part, Sparxx was rushed to the hospital, checked out and released. Her spokesperson cited "simple exhaustion" and dismissed the visit as "precautionary." In my opinion, PJ's boasting about an easy and early victory only made her loss seem worse than it really was but it'll probably just heighten the animosity and, indeed the outright hatred, between these two proud, haughty blondes. I talked to both women in separate interviews a few days after the fight. Neither was willing to put their competition behind them as you'll see from the following quotes.

SUNNY MCKAY INTERVIEW (Tuesday morning):

BS - So, now that you've had a few days to think about it, are you satisfied with the results of your fight the other night?

SM- Bloody Hell no, I'm not happy. I'm royally pissed off if you must know. I wanted that cheap, job-stealing slut flat on her back - a position she's intimately familiar with as you know. But she finished on her feet and that's UN-acceptable.

BS - What are you going to do about it then?

SM- Uh, well. . . I really haven't thought about that yet. But I don't feel like I paid her back for what she did to me on stage that first night. And since then, well let's just say her bitch friends Jeanna Fine and Zara Whites have helped her make my run here a living hell. I can't wait to leave when my contract is up after next weekends shows. (Then she hurriedly left the room.)

PJ SPARXX INTERVIEW (Tuesday night):

BS - Alright PJ, you talked tough before the fight but it looked like you couldn't back up your words when the time came.

PJ - HA! You wish. That skinny skank whimpered every time I slugged those pancakes she calls tits! I could feel her bony chest through the gloves every time I hit her. Besides, from what I've seen over the past few weeks, I bet she got off on the pain. She's a kinky little broad for sure. This isn't over. She says one word to me about that decision and she'll find herself on her back with her flat ass in the air and me smacking it til it glows. Just like the last time.

BS - So you're not going to let this thing between you two drop? You sound like you enjoy tormenting her. Don't you think stealing all her gigs is enough? What's this going to prove?

PJ - It's going to prove she's finished and that I'm the one who put an end to her so-called career. You want to see if she's afraid of me? Come to the club tonight and watch our act. Jeanna's had us working together ever since that first night when I came out on stage with her. When you see our act, you won't have no doubt 'bout who's on "top" and who's at the "bottom"!
