Before: Some puzzlement on the part of BBU press as to how two American actresses wound upon a BBU PPV undercard.
“Don’t ask me,” says New York-born Rooney Mara (best known for her film roles in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and “The Social Network”). “I did have that one fight last year Ivana Baquero who was in ‘The Shannara Chronicles’ and she won. Maybe they think I’m the perfect jobber for Malese who is in the second season of ‘Shannara’.Of course, if that is what they are thinking they are very much mistaken. I didn't much like losing. I’ve been working to make sure that didn’t happen again. Then this offer came along. I jumped at it. This time it will be different because I'll be the winner!”
“It’s all a mystery to me, as well,” says Oklahoma-born Malese Jow, “but I lost my last fight to some Spanish movie actress named Maria Valverde after I won my debut against Freema Agyeman. I want to get back to winning. If ‘Shannara’ was the angle some promoter thought would work I'm taking the fight, I’m in this fight to win!”

THE WINNER:ROONEY MARA DEFEATS MALESE JOW KO5

After: “Winning sure feels great!” Rooney Mara happily tells press and jokes: “I’ve really got to start doing more of it! Malese is good, but I think I was able to keep my head pressure for the most part and my punching was more accurate. I knew I just had to get my punches into the right place and the fight would be mine. That’s just what happened. Say, anybody heard about her? She looked so peaceful sleeping there, but I wouldn’t want to think she was seriously hurt.”
Malese Jow herself reports later: “I am fine. They checked me out thoroughly and nothing was too seriously dented. Well, maybe my ego. Darn I thought I was winning that fight and then suddenly everything went black and I wake up to find I’d lost. I don’t mean to criticize Rooney Mara, but I should have won this fight. But I didn’t and I just need to go on from that. I am not giving up.
I know I am better than this, I just need to actually BE better than what I’ve been able to do so far!”
Interesting outing between two BBU newcomers.
Both showing some evidence of talent, but onesuspects they need regular management to help them build a serious celebrity boxing career.
Right now Rooney Mara is looking good—she’s got some skills, some ring smarts and a good KO uppercut.
Malese Jow some kills and some ring smarts, but that accurate finisher is still missing.
Can she find it? Odds are seldom good for BBU free agents unless some manager decides to take a chance.
We’ll just have to wait and see if that happens for either of them.
