Announcing the Result, Part 1

A particular subset of the winner/loser at the end of the match that has taken my interest is the shot of a referee or wrestler raising the hand of the winner while the loser has to stand there with her hand down. In this first shot, we have Bianca -- in her first appearance for FoxyCombat.com -- raising the unbelievably gorgeous Marilies' hand to signal her win over Nicole. What is perhaps most amazing about this shot is that Bianca -- who hasn't yet wrestled -- has the biggest smile. If anything, her smile may be a bit too forced as she is unfamiliar with the dictates of this shot. Marilies has the benefit of the remnants of her top still on her, which accentuates her full and natural breasts. In addition, her thong is a bit askew, suggesting the struggle as the two bodies pressed against each other in the tussle. Marilies looks forward confidently, with a bit of a self-confident smile. Nicole looks at Marilies, as if to acknowledge that she has been beaten by the better woman that afternoon.

Bianca can barely restraining herself after her first win, and her joy is obvious. With her left hand raised high, she also pumps her right fist in the air. Merilies is only too happy to raise the rookie's hand, but what makes this photo is Nicole's reaction. Sucking in her lip, she looks at Bianca with the obvious expression of "how the heck did she beat me?" A wonderful photograph, and as always, please click on the photos to see them at full size.

Manila Fights -- Rhoan v. Kixx

It's great to see my favorite Filipino wrestler, Rhoan, on the mats once again. Although this photo is not as flattering as her previous one -- which made me think that she was a star in the making -- it's good to see that she's still willing to wrestle topless.
Rhoan's opponent, Kixx, looks to be in fighting form and, bless her soul, is willing to wrestle topless.
A lovely pre-match photo, with Kixx challenging the viewer and Rhoan letting us see her brilliant smile. Instead of getting the traditional posed "stare down," we seem to have interrupted a quiet moment between the two lady combatants. And once the action begins, Rhoan gets her less experienced opponent in a body scissors and puts on the pressure.

After the Match

The following video clip is a stunning example of how seriously the loser takes the loss and the graciousness of the winner. As an added benefit, the topless boxing match was held in a public venue and the victress plays to the vocal crowd. I know that this match was promoted by the forerunner of LGIS and any further information would be appreciated.

Big Girls Can Wrestle Too

Although most of the purveyors of catfighting and wrestling material gravitate (for obvious commercial reasons) towards putting forth young ladies who conform to traditional standards of phsyical beauty, we should always remember that any woman who is willing to face off against other lady is always worthy of our admiration. In this case, it's great to see that London (on the right) is proud to show off her fine form before she takes on the more svelte Mercedes. (With these names, do you think these gals could be erotic dancers? I had initially thought that they are aid workers taking a break from their work in Sudan, but I'm having second thoughts.)

Mercedes, no dope, does the smart thing and goes for London's belly. After all, she's got to figure that the plus sized catfighter might not have the strongest stomach muscles.
But London isn't so easily taken, and yanks Mercedes' head down with a solid hairpull. London is plenty strong, easily holding herself up off of the carpet with one hand.
London looks like she is in trouble here, as Mercedes has "inside position" on her breast attack -- meaning that Mercedes' arms are to the inside of London's. If Mercedes had any kind of technique at all, she would just angle her elbows out in order to make it really hard for London to get a grip on her nipples.
But London is just too much for the lighter catfighter, who gets kudos for pulling aside London's panties to give us a nice unbroken view of her hips.
London is justly proud of her victory, and has no reason to be at all demure about her fine form.

Rhoan v. Kiomi

Here are some photos of Rhoan against Kiomi, an attractive and more experienced wrestler. In their first match (first three pictures), points could be scored by pins or submissions. In the second bout, only by pins.
Although Rhoan is on the short end of things in the above photo, its nice to see that she has captured Kiomi in a body scissors while maintaining (as they would say in the MMA world) a full guard. And below, she gets her own back with a body scissors. But note how calm Kiomi's expression is, the mark of a good and calculating wrestler.
Kiomi doesn't hold back, and tries to pin our lovely Rhoan by with a hands to the face press.
In the pins-only match, its nice to see Rhoan go for a score as Kiomi attempts to bridge out. Particularly enticing is the way that Rhoan's shoulder blades pop out at us with force of her exertions. Of course, the two dimples above her bikini line are also a delight to behold.
And once again Rhoan shows us that she's not just topless for show, willingly pressing her bosom against Kiomi as she goes for the pin.

African-American Tag Team

I just noticed that, purely as a matter of coincidence, my last two posts (before this series of three posts) featured African-American ladies getting the short end of things. So to make up for it, here's a nice match featuring two African-American tag teams from Womens World Video. Beginning on the left, we have Tonya at 5'4", 115 pounds and Lee at 5'8", 124 pounds against Isis at 5'4", 129 pounds and Coni at 5'7", 119 pounds. In this group shot, I particularly like the way that Isis is glancing over her shoulder at her opponents while everyone else looks at the camera.
At least in terms of chest size, Isis and Coni have the advantage. Although I'm not sure how that going to help them against the particularly tough looking Lee. I don't know if it was by design, but you'll note that the ladies on each team have similar skin tone, with Tonya and Lee being darker than their opponents.

Tag Team, Part 2

Tonya looks on smiling as Lee gets the better of Coni. Where you have presumably evenly matched tag teams, with one big girl (Lee and Coni) and a smaller girl (Tonya and Isis), a critical factor is who's big girl is better. Because unless the opposing team's small girl is really a class above the rest, the team with the better big girl has a decided advantage. An additional bonus of this photo is we are treated to a fine view of Coni's magnificent ass. Isis looks none too pleased as Lee continues to dominate Coni. Isis certainly seems to know how important it is for her partner to at least hold her own.
But as it turns out, Isis is no great shakes on the mat, either. Tonya demonstrates some real skill against her heavier opponent. Judging by Isis' facial expression, it seems that a submission is inevitable.
Isis doesn't really seem to have any answer to Tonya's speed and agression.
Correction. She does have an answer -- hair pulling -- although it's probably not permitted in a straight wrestling match.

Tag Team, Part 3

Hold the presses!!! It turns out Isis does have some skill, managing to get Tonya in a basic body scissors. Perhaps she will figure out how to squeeze her legs together to get the submission.
Finally, Coni and Isis have figured out how this tag team stuff works -- you want to try and get your bigger girl against their smaller girl. As they say in the Guiness commercials, Genius!!
It's understandable that Tonya has some trouble matching up against Coni, as she is giving up three inches in height. But to be fair to Coni, she only outweighs Tonya by four pounds, so its not like she had a completely unfair advantage.
I like to believe that this is a one in a million shot that captures the moment just after Coni has face sat Tonya for a submission. Sure, she could have just been sitting on her chest or something, but give me the benefit of the doubt.
There really isn't any doubt but that Lee is the class wrestler here, as she finishes Isis off with a modified body scissors. I don't know who won this match, but my money is on Lee and Tonya. If you happen to know, or just have any thoughts on the match, please leave a comment.

After the Match, Part 2

After the Match

Although the above photo is taken after a mixed oil match, the result of which was most likely pre-ordained, the photo captures something of the reality of the situation. The man lies on the mat, face down and anonymous. After all, he is just a fixture just like a lamp in a play -- he performs a function but since the viewer is supposed to place himself in the wrestler's stead, the wrestler needs to be non-descript, or better yet, anonymous. As always, it is the woman who captures our attention. Her bikini top has been pulled aside to display her breasts and her body is covered in oil. But while the ends of her long hair are also covered, her face doesn't have even a trace of oil. All the better not to smudge her makeup. No doubt the script called for her to dominate the match once were breasts were exposed. She confronts the viewer, exhausted from her exertions but in no way bowed from her experience.

Rare Asian Nostalgia

For a change, I don't have much to say about these standard-issue apartment wrestling pics (early 70s I'm guessing) that fall within the stocking and garter belt class. I just thought that it was interesting to see an Asian woman participating, and how the photographer decided to make her look more "exotic" by having her use very light eyeshadow (noticable in the photo below). It's too bad she has to play the jobber, but I guess that the rule that "prettiest one loses" (often proved in the exception) has its place.

Treena Collins, Facesiting Queen

One of my earliest favorites was Treena Collins who did alot of work for Joan Wise. Throwing herself into her work, she was never caught with one of those "what should I do next" looks that just destroy a photo. As in the photo below, she was addressed the viewer, letting us know that she knew we were watching.

A great photo, Treena is lost in the moment as the finishes her opponent off with a facesit.

Just One Small Detail Between Good and Bad

Throughout the ages, men and women have debated the differences between good and bad. Now, I'm not going to add to that worthwhile discussion. I'm just going to show how a small detail in a photo of a topless or nude lady standing in ring wearing boxing gloves can turn from potentially good into bad with just one detail. In the first two photos, we have attractive nude women wearing boxing gloves standing in a well-appointed ring with the appropriate detrius of the boxing world behind them. But what absolutely destroys any enjoyment we can get from these photos is that both ladies are wearing belly button rings with large dangling chains. Of course I know that these ladies aren't going to box or really fight. But part of the allure of a great foxy boxy (or wrestling, for that matter) photo is that we can imagine that they are going to do so. But there's no way to sustain this suspension of disbelief when you're staring at the three inch piece of jewelry on a lady's belly.
Below we have a well executed photo. I can tell you that it is entirely staged and that this lady was as involved in a boxing match as I am in high energy nuclear physics. But this young woman appears as if she is ready to fight, and is perhaps looking at her opponent sprawled out on the floor. There is nothing to suggest that she is not in the middle of a match (i.e., no jewelry) and has her hands up in a what appears to approximate a defensive position.

Kwahm vs. Jahn -- Asian Catfight Circuit

These matches between the reigning diva Jahn and her protege Kwahm were certainly among the highlights of my time in Bangkok. They were only supposed to have one match in panties, but it soon escalated into a second nude match during which many hard feelings were revealed.

Here Kwahm has managed to get on top of Jahn. Note how both ladies are wearing panties with full backs.

Jahn manages to bend Kwahm's legs and feet back, and all of a sudden Kwahm yells out her submission. It didn't look to me like it would hurt that much, but Kwahm was obviously furious with Jahn as soon as Jahn released the hold. Jahn looked like she couldn't have cared less, and this just pissed Kwahm off even more.

.

As I don't speak Thai, I didn't know what going on, but a couple of sponsors immediately offered a bonus for a nude match, one fall, right there. I later learned that Kwahm had been in a motorbike accident a few months ago (with Bangkok's horrific traffic, there are an army of motorbike taxis) and had hurt her left ankle. You can see a dark mark on her ankle in the picture, but I don't know if its just a shadow or a scar.

After a few moments to catch their breath, but not to calm down entirely, the girls removed their panties and got on their knees on the bed. This was quite different from the other nude matches I saw, which were preceeded by the girls warming up in the nude and taking advice from their sponsors. Kwahm is alot stronger than Jahn, while Jahn has the greatest desire to win amongst all of the girls I saw, plus some real wrestling skill to boot. Here Kwahm gets Jahn in a quick bearhug, but Jahn's balance is such that Kwahm can't get her down.

Although there wasn't much action, as the ladies struggled against one another on their knees, I could hear from their hard breathing that they were really going at. Then, all of a sudden, Jahn let out a yell. Just from the sound of it, I could tell that Kwahm was yanking on Jahn's nipples. There was no referee for this match, and Kwahm's dirty grip was a real departure for this usually demure young lady.

But Jahn, after escaping from Kwahm's nipple grip, turned around and planted her right fist into Kwahm's belly. Kwahm pitched forward and, as we see here, almost fell onto Jahn. That quick, short shot from Jahn must have really hurt, because Kwahm let herself get pinned right after this photo was taken. A great, albeit short, match that further cemented my admiration for Kwahm (even though she lost, I thought she looked great tussling in the nude).

Asian Catfight Circuit Photos

These photos are from my Yahoo! Group, Asian Catfight Circuit (the link is on the right hand column), and feature lovely young Thai ladies wrestling in a Bangkok hotel room. For those of you who are familiar with that group, you know that I can't show the ladies' faces in the interest of keeping their wrestling lives somewhat of a secret. So while I concede that this limitation really detracts from the potential power of the photos, I still think that there is enough for us to consider and enjoy.

In the above photo, we see Nam pulling on Peung's right hand, trying to throw the younger and slimmer lady off balance. I love the contrast between Peung's hand coming directly at the viewer and Nam's full panties being a bit wrinkled and not fitting tightly. The other contrasting elements in this photo are Nam's upright and solid form against Peung's twisted and slighter body.

One aspect of the Bangkok Hotel Room matches that surprised me was that the veteran ladies didn't wear g-strings for their topless matches -- only the ladies newer to the scene wore them. Over the course of watching a few matches, I began to understand that the veterans had a very good sense of how to make the most money from their efforts. If their sponsors wanted to see them in a g-string, or in a nude match, they would have to provide the appropriate incentive -- a bonus payment, of course. The new girls, like Peung, just wanted to get in as many matches as they could in order to earn the "match fee" and start to build their own little stable of sponsors. So they would always wear tiny g-strings and would get set up in matches against much more experienced girls whose sponsors wanted their favorites to have a few easy matches each session.

In terms of the above two photos, I just like to look at Peung's ass. Sometimes that's all a picture has to feature to make it a good lady wrestling photo.
