Unfortunately for Bridges there weren’t as many fireworks on the pitch as there are when she enters the ring.
The home side were held to a boring stalemate, with Luis Sinisterra sent off for Jesse Marsch’s side after picking up two yellow cards.
Bridges was left fuming by the result, and took a dig at Gerrard and Co after the game.
She blasted on Twitter: “Aston Villa are p*****s.”
Bridges was also left frustrated by the way in which Villa’s players went to ground when they were fouled.
She retweeted a post from a fellow Leeds fan that said: “[They] Spend more time laid on the grass than playing football.”

Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers can take many different stances. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance

Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A good combination starts with a strong punch and ends with a weak one.
Spares
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. Sparring is a training session that helps a boxer train his mind and body. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
