Ring Girls – They Make It All Worthwhile

Posted by Nat Detroit Mace on April 15th, 2009

first_ring_girl Yep, they’re fine like spring wine. Sweet and complete. The icing on the cake. The straw that stirs the drink.

You guessed it – they’re ring girls. Those lovelies who parade about in the skimpiest of costumes and let you know what round you’re about to watch. It’s not an easy job and the qualifications are legion.

We’re not talking about your fiancee’s cute little niece walking up the aisle and carrying that ring you can’t afford; we’re talking about the second most important element of a good fight night experience.

The Ring Girl.

You might ask, hell Mace, what’s the first most important element of a good fight night experience if it’s not a Ring Girl? If you did ask you would be an ass, but for anyone not with the program, that element would be readily available, ice-cold, Schlitz Malt Liquor.

These days, things have change a little from 1976. Nowadays the costumes are a little more revealing, but the basic qualifications remain the same. First and foremost? A Ring Girl must be fine. She must be leggy.

And in the year 2009, she must be wearing shorts you could hide under a cocktail napkin.

In what must be the most brilliant piece of professional skirt-chasing ever, the guys at MMACalifornia.net have decided to cast a ring girl reality TeeVee show. Now that’s puttin’ the old thinking cap on, my friend.

After doing a little historical research here (and Pikey makes me do that stuff), I found out what I believe to be evidence of the first ring girl sighting.

She was a cocktail waitress at Caesars Palace, one of the same bevy of beauties who plied their trade inside the hotel. These lovelies were pressed into service carry ring cards between rounds. Though she remains unidentified, she became the first in a long line of leggy wonders to become a Ring Girl. I like to think of her as the Ring Girl. She took her skills to the canvas after the first round of the George Foreman-Ron Lyle fight in 1976 – and strutted her way into the record books.
