FREAKY TRIGGER TOP 25 SCARIEST THINGS
17. Is…
Ladies and Gentlemen,
YOU are about to witness, the most intimidating, the most terifying, the most downright petrifying fighter ever to rule the squared ring,
Its the Fleetwood Assassin, Jaaaaaaaane Couch!
Tremor! As she bursts out of a coiled spring of searing aggression into a blur of a lightning fast punching machine. Of course I wouldn’t fancy my chances against anyone with a bit of training in the Queensbury rules, but even a heavyweight champion might give you time to concede before the first punch landed. But here? On the canvass the moment the bell rang, catching hits all the way down.
Quiver! As she displays an almost compulsive instinct to fight. She was street fighting before women were allowed in boxing, landed mighty legal blows in (genuinely pioneering) court battles to let her into the ring, and when there the rounds never seemed long enough for her.
The most frightening thing about Couch is the sense that, if disrespected, she won’t hesitate in retaliation. Perhaps that’s undeserved, but when a blindfolded Rory Mcgrath was sent to identify her by touch alone on a quiz show, the thump he got was as innevitable as it was needed.
And, famously, when she appeared on the sometimes risible 11 O’Clock show, Iain Lee asked her a question that went something like:
“Do you like boxing because it is the noble sport of kings, or do you just like hitting people?”
Laugh! As she punches Iain Lee.
