Lauryn Eagle vs Taryn Terrell (unofficial bout)
(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)
(The Bondi Babes vs Girls Friday)
Intro:
Taryn and Lauren had agreed to box each other in the name of charity in a bout thats result didn't really matter as it wasn't a fight for any organisation like the FCBA, BBU or ACB.
Taryn had called up the pro boxer for this fight and while Lauryn had some reservations about boxing a wrestler, The New Orleans bombshell had gotten her to do it after much discussion.
On a T.V morning talk show in America,Taryn and Lauren were introduced together and both in beautiful dresses (blue for Taryn, pink for Lauren) hugging each other, they sat next to each other to be interviewed.
Taryn explained why this event was happening "well I love charity work and while people may scoff at stunts, they are always the best way to get people to take an interest in something like the ice bucket challenge last year"
Asked why she picked a pro boxer for this event to fight, Taryn answers "I love to prove people wrong and crush their preconceptions of what is what, I mean don't get me wrong, It's Lauryns fight to lose right?"
But turning towards Lauryn "but if Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley can be major stars in MMA, maybe C.M Punk, why can I not win this fight?"
Both women grin at each other as they stare each other down and see no back down which seems to please them more.
Lauryn says to Taryn more than the actual host "I agree with Taryn, me and her have met at events and talked about our passions and both of us like to do the impossible"
Turning to the host, she continues "I mean for those who don't know me, I come from a family of water skiers and I became a champion at that, then I did the impossible and became a pro boxer as boxing had saved me from myself and I have won 15 out of 20 bouts and been a world champion, now I want to represent my country at the Olympics in rugby sevens, the next impossible chapter to be written"
Taryn smiles wide and nods as her and Lauryn turn back to each other to beam smiles at each other.
"Now I like Taryn for having the guts for this one off fight but I have to win babe, this isn't a joke fight like Shane Mosley knocking out Kevin Hart on the Real Husband's of Hollywood, you get all of me darling"
Both women are ushered to stand, taking their heels off to show themselves off properly against each other.
Raising their fists in fighting poses, both look serious as they inch closer together and the host worries they are going to brawl now.
The girls notice the host jump in a sweat and they lose their focus, laughing together and putting an arm around each other as they turn and point at the host. Taryn says "we are not going to start here so calm down"
Leaving the stage together, they are giggling at the hosts actions as the host has to take a minute to lower their blood pressure before continuing the show.
Rio De Janeiro in Brazil hosts this fight as while eventually Lauryn failed to get into the rugby team to represent her country, she still wanted to be with her band of sisters as she hoped they won gold.
The ring is set up and the crowd is packed as Taryn Terrell comes down a ramp to a good cheer as she wears a long gold robe with the hood up over her head.
She climbs into the ring and her second pulls her robe off to show she's wearing a gold sports bra, golden shorts with white trim and she has pink gloves and golden boots.
Her hair is tied into a fighting braid as she limbers up in the humid heat of the arena.
Lauren is out next in a black robe, she is almost dancing down to the ring as she practices her movement while coming down the ramp.
Entering the ring, Lauryn has her robe removed to reveal she has black gear the same as Taryn's, bar the fact she also has pink gloves on.
Her hair is also done up the same as Taryn's as ring girls walk around with the charity numbers on their cards instead of the round number.
Coming to the ring centre after getting their gumshields in, both look serious as the final instructions are being read out.
The glove touch is civil as they rush back to their corners, eager to test the other out in a clash of wrestler vs boxer.
10 rounds of lightweight boxing start now.
Round 1:
Lauren is the overwhelming favourite for what is a bout for charity but these are two seriously competitive women who've both suffered losses in different ways lately, so don't expect it to be a simple exhibition.
Eagles working her jab out as she uses her 3 inch height advantage to try and ruffle the feathers of her friend but rival for tonight.
Taryn doesn't look flustered as she ducks and waives around most of the punches as she tries to cut down the distance between the two women.
Both women show absolute concentration as they use impressive footwork to move around each other and jab in a surprisingly tight contest in the early going.
Lauren seems to step up a gear with some meaty jabs being thrown to the guard and some to the face of the American girl.
But Taryn takes the shots and is able to land some good punches of her own to the body of the Aussie, who taps her abs to taunt Terrell.
Both keep mostly testing each other each out as Eagles again comes on the front foot to crack the jab off the nose of Taryn.
But she misses the right hook as Taryn rolls her shoulder and strikes with a hard straight of her own, getting a nod of respect from Lauren.
The tempo picks up slightly with both freeing their hands up more till the bell, both women touch gloves as they both share a smile, that could be the last till the final bell.
Round 2:
Taryn comes out quicker this round which slightly stuns Lauryn, who was thinking that the power she emparted in the first round might ward off her friend and opponent from coming forward.
Of course Lauryn is used to aggressive opponents, so she quickly resets after taking a few good punches over the top to her face.
Taryn takes the ring centre as she tries to force the fight into a close range affair where she can hopefully take some of Eagles advantages away from her.
The fight starts to light up as Lauryn is keeping tight, working the jab and firing a hard right hand when she can to the body of Taryn, which is questionable if it's 100% after her JMD title loss.
But Taryn again stuns the crowd by forcing her opponent to the ropes under a quick three punch combo, with two definitely connecting to Lauryn's face.
Taryn looks deadly serious as she knows she has to keep her opponent rattled or face defeat if she let's Eagles off the leash.
Lauryn is sending out her jab and straights off the ropes but is being forced to stay tight to the ropes with her guard following suit.
Forcing a clinch to get off the ropes, the crowd in the arena looks like it wants to rush around the ring to get a closer look.
Lauryn looks on at Taryn as the break apart and as they are ordered to fightz she takes her pace up again as she pounds her fists forward.
But Taryn isn't sticking around to get caught as she leans back and moves around the Australian, who takes the centre ground.
The bell rings not long after Eagles had been shoving Taryn around the outside of the ring with her well timed jab.
No smiles now as they return to their corners and stare at each other while being checked over by their seconds.
Round 3:
Out they come to continue and Lauryn steps up a gear, quickly moving around Taryn to throw out her piercing jab to smack her fellow blondes head backwards.
The Australian is showing why she is s top boxer in the world as Taryn is trying to readjust to this quick assault that she is being put under.
Half way through the round and as Taryn tries to fight back, she gets clocked to the chin with a hard right hook that drops her to her back.
The crowd are up and looking close as they think this could be the end of the fight, while Eagles just professionally walks away without throwing any insults at her opponent.
Taryn sits up at 5 with her glove rubbing her chin and begins to nod at Lauryn to show her respect for a great punch.
Up at 8, Terrell looks OK shockingly as she gets checked over as Lauryn paces in her corner, waiting to attack and put this fight to bed.
Ordered to fight, Taryn is guarding as her opponent charges in with a barrage of punches that all could end the fight if they land.
Getting forced back to the ropes, the ref is watching closely as Taryn is being kept on the ropes by someone who isn't going to tire as easily as most women she fights.
Taryn manages to clinch but had to take two straights to her face to bulldoze her way through to embrace her opponent and hold her tight for dear life.
Lauryn surprisingly doesn't hammer Taryn's kidneys as she instead is busy trying to shove her friend off to try and end the fight.
But it takes the ref to separate them just as the bell rings, Taryn holds her glove up and both women touch gloves as Taryn shows her respect to her friend who nearly took her head off.
Round 4:
Taryn comes out defensive after that last round that saw her go down, she is eyeing up Lauryn as she focuses on her opponent's movement.
A cracking right hook to her mouth cuts it open and everyone in the arena is worried that the New Orleans girl has bitten off a lot more then she can chew making this fight.
But she keeps on fighting as her spirit won't be broken easily as she moves into space to stop herself being cornered.
Lauryn keeps the tempo fast though to keep on top of this fight as she is getting a nagging feeling that she has to kill this fight off soon.
Both are covered in sweat and it is making both blondes look Goddess like as they trade punches before moving around to seek a better attack angle.
Lauryn is starting to see Taryn grow strong again and she tries to pounce forward but is met with some hard straights and jabs to keep her opponent back.
Staring at Taryn hard, Eagles is wondering "where the hell does she get the will to stay in this when I had her beat"
She lands another hard combo to the mouth of Terrell, which is trickling blood at a steady rate and Taryn herself is groaning in pain.
But she stays in the action by ducking under another jab to crack a three punch combo to the body of the bigger blonde and is rewarded with a groan from her.
Lauryn dances away and taps her abs again to try and show she's not hurt as Taryn smiles knowing she must have done something to get a reaction.
The round ends soon with both women trading at mid range to the delight of all as the arena is split between the underdog Taryn and her more favoured opponent Lauryn.
Round 5:
Taryn bounds forward as she knows that she has to get inside the range of Lauryn and take the fight to her if she has any chance of winning this.
Ducking and waiving under she can cut the distance down, she gets to the inside and finally imparts her full power onto Eagles.
Knocking the head back of the pro, Lauryn isn't too worried as she uses her footwork to try and create separation.
But Taryn drives into that space to keep attacking as hard as she can as her heart wills her to continue as her name is being chanted with her opponents.
Lauryn is trying to keep her foe off her, she's struggling to do it as she's being dragged into a scruffy brawl type of fight, which is making the fight closer to a 50/50 split for both to win.
In the end Lauryn has to clinch up which gives hope to Taryn's fans that she can pull the biggest upset they've seen in a long time.
Getting separated, both rush forward to try and take the centre of the ring to put the fight in their court and it becomes a slugfest.
Neither woman has an inch of fear of the other as they blast each other back a step and they have to clinch up to take a breath after that.
Lauryn has a small cut above her right eye as the crowd begin to mumble to each other that Taryn could actually do this.
More people side with her as the bell rings and both fighters give each other a hard stare as this fight is becoming serious for both as they see each other as a rival to be beaten.
Round 6:
Both come out quickly and circle each other, the stare down from the end of the last round has technically not ended as they go into knock out mode.
Lauryn starts early with her jab, knocking the head of Taryn back and a right hook wobbles her as the crowd gasp.
But Taryn somehow stays up and even manages to come forward behind her jab as she tries to get at that small cut she created in the last round and after a few punches to it, Eagles can be seen to keep her guard tight to it.
The fighters are squaring up a lot more as they trade for longer and while Taryn looks to be getting the worse of them, she keeps fighting on.
She even manages to land a hard hook to the side of Lauryn forcing a clinch from the Aussie, that speaks more then any words could.
The American girl pounds away at the sides of a grunting Eagles who is starting to look hurt as the crowd are up and cheering for Taryn to put her down to the ground.
Lauryn looks hard into her opponents eyes and sees a steel hard stare in return that makes her want to break the will of her opponent even more now.
Getting separated, Lauryn lands a hard hook to Taryn's left eye that opens it up with a gash forming above her own eyebrow.
Neither is looking pretty as they trade till the bell where Lauryn surprisingly goes nose to nose with Taryn, both women shove each other with their bodies as it threatens to become a brawl.
But Lauryn steps away and nods at her opponent, as if saying OK you won't back down, I'll make you.
Round 7:
Both women look tired in the heat and the hard fought war up till this point has both willing the other to go down for the count.
It's not long till the once loud crowd goes silent, a pin drop could be heard echoing from one part of the arena to the other.
Lauryn looks down at Taryn, who moments ago was throwing punches at her before she landed a peach of a right hook that landed straight into the chin of her opponent.
Down went Taryn in a what seemed like slow motion fall but really was just that shocking, a hit that has knocked the golden girl of the BBU and FCBA silly.
She spits her gumshield out as she lands on the deck more from shock then knowing where she is by the looks of things.
The ref starts his count as the crowd start small at first but grows to the entire arena hoping she's OK and can get up and fight.
The count reaches 8 as Taryn shows some life to open her eyes but she doesn't look at home as the count reaches 10 and she's been knocked out.
Winner: Lauryn Eagle KO Round 7
After:
The crowd seem mixed at first as they don't know how to see this result at first, some cheer, some boo and most are just silent after baring witness to a true drama.
Lauryn is the first to check on her friend, a doctor comes in with Taryn's second as they check she hasn't been badly hurt.
Taryn gets smelling salts to break her fully around and she looks at Lauryn with a smile that stuns the Aussie.
Terrell is helped onto a stool, Lauryn asks her "I'm happy they say you're not badly hurt but why are you smiling babe?"
As they get their gloves taken off, Taryn replies "I just went nearly seven rounds with a top fighter and a friend who I respect, of course I'm happy but you owe me a wrestling match"
Eagles looks at her with new found respect as she hugs Taryn and whispers "I respect you too babe, boxing got us to get to know each other in the first place and now it's brought us closer"
Taryn weakly hugs back as the two share a long embrace before Lauryn helps her stand and supports her as they walk to the ring centre.
Tears fill both women's eyes as the crowd cheer and applaud them for the show they've put on.
Taryn is help out the ring as Lauryn tells the audience that she promises to give her gloves to the charity auction and so has Taryn for tonight's special event.
Signing her gloves in the ring, the crowd love the gesture before she leaves to shower and go buy Taryn a drink for their secret side bet, that her friend would last more than 5 rounds with her.
