Adriana then continues to the ring, climbing in and taking her corner, ready for the battle that awaits.
Round 1:Bell rings. Adriana Lima starts strong with words and fists. "Ready to relive that belly beating from Kennedy, Ellie?" Adriana smirks, stepping in aggressively with a jab aimed at Ellie's stomach.
Ellie Thumann, clearly affected by the taunt, hesitates momentarily. Lima notices and presses on. "See, you're already scared," Adriana taunts, launching another jab at Ellie's midsection.
Ellie dodges, counter attacking with a quick jab of her own that lands squarely on Adriana's tummy with a THUMP! "Your turn to be scared," Ellie retorts, suddenly finding her voice.
“Oof!” Adriana's eyes narrow. She didn't expect to get hit there, and it shows. "Lucky shot," she mutters, but her next punches lack their earlier ferocity.
Ellie picks up on Adriana's altered demeanor. "What's the matter? Kennedy never taught me that one," Ellie quips, landing another shot to Adriana's belly.
WUMP!
“Ugh!” Adriana winces, clearly bothered by the hit to her abdomen. She throws a couple of hooks Ellie's way, but they're not as focused. She's guarding her midsection more, and Ellie sees it.
"Looks like your belly isn't as tough as your talk," Ellie says, dancing back to avoid a right cross from Lima.
Round ends. Ellie has won this one, both on points and psychologically. The taunts from Lima have backfired, and Ellie's counter-shot to the stomach has set the tone for the rest of the fight.
Round 2 starts. Adriana Lima is visibly more cautious but tries to regain her mental edge. "You won't be so lucky this round," she warns as the bell rings.
Adriana comes in with a flurry of punches, targeting Ellie's head and body. Ellie blocks most, but a few land. Adriana, feeling confident, drops a powerful hook to Ellie's face.
"See? Told you," Adriana sneers. But despite the hits, she avoids targeting Ellie's belly, still wary from the first round.
Round 3 kicks off. Ellie, sensing Adriana's hesitancy, goes on the offensive. "Your belly still sore?" Ellie jabs, landing a solid punch to Adriana's head.
Ellie dominates the round with well-timed punches and dodges. Adriana attempts to counter but finds herself missing more than hitting. The bell rings, and it's clear Ellie's won this round too.
Round 4. Adriana, desperate, decides it's time to swing the momentum. "You're going down, kid," she yells, landing a powerful uppercut that knocks Ellie off balance. Ellie staggers, and Adriana seizes the moment. Another strong punch, and Ellie goes down.
Adriana can't help but gloat. "What did I say? Down you go!" She's reenergized, standing tall as Ellie struggles to her feet at the eight-count.
Between rounds:
In Ellie's corner, she's breathing hard, visibly fatigued. Her team is working quickly, applying ice and offering water. Then Charlize Theron steps up, looking right into Ellie's eyes.
Charlize: "Listen to me. You've got her. She's hurt, and you know it. But she's also dangerous, so don't get reckless."
Ellie nods, sips some water.
Charlize: "Your jab is working, keep using it. It's setting up everything else. But remember, she's going to try something big; she's desperate."
Ellie: "Got it, keep my guard up."
Charlize: "Exactly. And look for that body shot again. You hurt her once there; you can do it again. But be smart, Ellie. Pick your moment."
Ellie takes a deep breath, nods.
Charlize: "This is your round, Ellie. Your fight. Your moment. Take it!"
As the bell rings, Ellie rises, her face a mix of determination and focus. She steps back into the center of the ring, ready for what's to come.
Round 5:The bell rings. Both fighters meet in the center. Adriana, ever the veteran, tries to establish dominance with a strong jab, but Ellie dodges. They exchange a few more punches, both landing and missing some.
Ellie sees an opening and remembers Adriana's taunts about her loss to Kennedy McMann. She throws a hard shot to Adriana's tummy.
The sound that erupts is guttural; a mix of leather glove meeting flesh and a sharp exhale from Adriana. The impact resonates like a drum, filling the arena. For a moment, the crowd is suspended in a collective gasp.
“Uff!” Adriana's face contorts, a fleeting but unmistakable grimace replacing her previously confident smile. She lets out an involuntary noise, somewhere between a gasp and a groan, revealing more than she would like about the punch's impact. For a split second, her eyes meet Ellie's, and there's a flicker of realization that the tide has turned.
Her body language changes subtly but significantly. Her arms, once held high, drop ever so slightly, involuntarily shifting focus to protect the vulnerable abdomen. The crowd, keenly attuned to this shift, buzzes with heightened anticipation. It's a game-changing moment, one that shifts the balance of power in an instant. From here on out, this isn't just a match; it's a battle for survival.
Adriana tries to counter, but her punches lack the power they had earlier. Ellie takes advantage of this, landing a series of jabs that push Adriana back. The crowd is on its feet, the atmosphere electric.
Minute two. Ellie throws a feint; Adriana falls for it. Ellie lands a powerful hook. Adriana stumbles and goes down. The referee starts the count. "One, two, three..."
Adriana's corner is yelling, urging her to get up. She struggles, makes it to one knee at the count of seven. Her face is a mix of pain and determination. "Eight, nine..." She tries to rise but can't make it in time. "Ten!"
The crowd erupts. Ellie falls to her knees in disbelief, overwhelmed with emotion. Charlize Theron rushes into the ring to hug her. Adriana, still on the floor, is consoled by her team.
Ellie is declared the
winner by KO5. But this isn't just a win for her; it's a statement. She faced a veteran, overcame her fears, and came out on top.
