Ding Ding Ding...The boxing world is no stranger to gamesmanship, as battles are fought not only within the ring, but also without. The most recent instance ended (at least delayed) the fight everyone's begging for. This fight has been coined the next "Superfight" and hopes to resurrect boxing from less than stellar decades post-Ali, Foreman, Haggler, Leonard, Robinson, and the likes. For now this fight, "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, is called off because of gamesmanship in the form of an unwillingness to come to certain terms (story). Since we can't have the fight we all desire, we at Soul Reflecksions decided to tap into some inside connections to set up the next best thing, a fight between two of the most revered bad girls of this generation: "Tipsy" Ripsi (video 2, below) vs. "Big Blow" Flo (video 1, below). The following is the tale of the tape should this fight come to fruition:
Height Advantage: Flo
Flo (5'8") and Ripsi (5'2")
Weight Advantage: Flo
Flo (135lbs) and Ripsi (102lbs)
Age Advantage: Push
Flo (26) and Ripsi (23)
Reach Advantage: Flo
Flo (59") and Ripsi (52")
Experience Advantage: Push
This may look like a landslide from a statistical standpoint. However, what "Tipsy" Ripsi lacks in size, she makes up for in tenacity. This squirrely blonde will not back down, which makes her dangerous in the later rounds as the opposition's attack begins to dissipate. If "Tipsy" Ripsi can pull this off then she must rely on her crackhead-esque speed, agility, and resourcefulness.
Our prediction: Flo
Despite "Tipsy" Ripsi's wild abandonment and unpredictable style, we feel that Flo is too much to bring down. Although Ripsi's only hope is for this to become a battle of attrition, paradoxically, Ripsi will not be able to hold off entropy long enough to allow that to unfold. David got lucky against Goliath, Ripsi won't be so fortunate.
