DANIELLE CAMPBELL VS STELLA HUDGENS
Results: Lookout Writing: Archer
Danielle: 22 YO, 5’3 (1.60 M) , 10-5-0 since 2014, Pretty Little Punchers
Stella: 21 YO, 5’4 ½ (1.64 m), 1-1-0 since 2017, The Wannabees
Before: Can’t be easy being the younger sibling of one of celebrity boxing’s most noted young boxers, but Vanessa Hudgens’ kid sister Stella seems to be bearing up under the pressure.
“I’m not going to apologize for being ‘Nessa’s sister. I have always been proud of her in the ring and out. I see her a role model of what can be accomplished in celebrity boxing. Whether I succeed or not, it will be strictly up to me and my talents,” Stella declares at the press conference prior to her PPV bout with up-and-comer Danielle (“DC”) Campbell. “Right now I’m 1-1. Frankly, I am proud of the fight I lost. I nearly went the distance against ‘Nessa but she knocked me out. Some people might think I would be mad at her for that. No. If she knocks me out it’s because I wasn’t good enough in that fight to knock her out first. I don’t think that it was a surprise loss, but ‘Nessa always says you learn from losses if you are smart and I think I am very smart! As ‘I want my panties and dress back’ Danielle Campbell over there will find out!”
Danielle Campbell had been listening to this with a bored expression—until Stella was rash enough to bring up the reported loss of a favorite party dress and then her undies in encounters with The Wannabees’ Sammi Hanratty. (Sammi has photos of her trophy wall with the trophy garments occupying places of honor on her social media pages). Stella being a good friend of Sammi had already made her a DC target, but now the ante has been raised. Danielle’s face turns red as she sits at the table awaiting her turn at the podium. Now she jumps up.
“Hanratty put you up to saying that, didn’t she?” Danielle cries. “You have no business talking about something that’s between me and Sammi!”
Stella looks innocent: “Gosh, you really are sensitive about that, aren’t you? Well, I am sorry Sammi beat the panties off you, but that’s given me another role model.”
Danielle is wearing red shorts and a white DC Comics logoed tee shirt. She storms over to the podium where Stella is in a dark green shorts and a white THE WANNABEES logoed tee-shirt. At the sight of the angry PLP flyweight coming at her, Stella goes into a fighting crouch. Danielle makes a grab for Stella’s hair but Stella lunges for DC’s brunette locks. With grips on each other’s brunette locks the two swing each other around while screaming and kicking. Then Vanessa Hudgens leaps onto the stage and tackles Danielle, trying to wrench her away from Stella. This brings Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson rushing out to assist DC. Then Sammi Hanratty appears and joins in the scrum. The six of them end up in a tangled pile of shrieking, angry females until FCBA Security appears and drags the combatants apart. The last two separated are Stella and DC who have lost their tops and shorts and are fighting in bras and briefs (pink for Stella and black for Dani). The press and others in crowd thoroughly enjoy the melee while a it lasts. If social media is to be believe interest in the fight is up sharply as clips and photos of the brawl appear all over the internet.
“Danielle Campbell started it! Stella was just defending herself when Campbell attacked! Of course Vanessa came to her sister’s aid and since Dani’s real grudge was with me, I couldn’t let her suffer for it. Hale and Benson should mind their own business!” declares Sammi Hanratty to Archer News reporter Skip Tracey. “Stella and the Wannabees have nothing to apologize for!”
Skip naturally visited the PLP training center to get Danielle and the Punchers response. PLP communications director spoke to him.
“We’re keeping DC away from the press until the fight is over. Stella deliberately provoked Danielle with something that she and the Wannabees knew would upset Dani! It was all to keep Dani distracted for the fight because Stella knows she has no real chance otherwise. Frankly, I’m sorry I couldn’t get to the stage in time to help. It sounds to me like the plan was to go 3 on 1 against Dani, but Lucy and Ashley were too quick for them. Nobody messes a Puncher! I trust they know that now!”
No surprise that there is extra Security. Vanessa escorts her Stella to the ring. Stella in a white bikini with white boots and gloves (black laces). Stella’s hair in a battle braid down her back. Danielle is in a black bikini with matching gloves and boots (red laces) with her hair in a battle braid. Autumn Reeser escorts Dani (she and Vanessa exchange hot looks and sneering insults about Stella and Dani requiring “babysitters”). Referee has his hands full keeping Stella and Dani apart as they jostle against each other. The simple glove swipe nearly turns into a punching exchange before the referee forces them apart and issues threats to cancel the fight! This calms the young women down and gets them to their corners. The bell rings.
R1: Stella all but knocks Dani off her feet with her opening charge and tries to body her onto the ropes. Danielle startled at first, sends frantic hooks into Stella’s midsection to slow her own. Dani then able to use her jab to punch Stella’s head back with quick ones to the face and then slips away. Stella in hot pursuit and this time DC stands and fights it out with the rookie. Stella hasn’t got a lot of style to her punching, but she has an impressive punchrate. So much leather coming at Dani that she can only blunt some it. Red splotches starting to appear on the PLP fighter’s face and body as she struggles with the furious attack. Stella taking plenty of Dan’s counters in the toe to toe action so her face is getting marked up too. Stella pressing forward late in the round and getting some solid hooks into Dani’s belly to shake her up. DC falling back as the round ends, though still jabbing back hard against Stella. Young fighters show plenty of energy this round, but it is Stella Hudgens to wins it close.
R2: Danielle trying to show off some footwork to confuse the less experienced Stella, but Stella seems to catch on pretty quick after taking some early head clouts. Stella moving to block Dani’s moves and pull her into more close-in punching. Danielle accepts the challenge and they are back at the pounding action with arms moving in and out like pistons as leather mainly goes to pounding torso. Danielle working belly and ribs over the middle minute, but then goes after Stella’s impressively full bra cups. Stella giving Dani some jugg shots in return, but Dani has a nice way of hooking the undersides, then mashing in with straight punches to crush trapped mammaries against the ribcage. Stella looking winded and backing up to catch her breath. Dani adds a nice surprise chin uppercut at the end and Stella Hudgens is left looking woozy at the bell. Still, it was close, but this time it goes to Dani Campbell’s side of the cards.
R3: Stella away quick from her corner and plows into Danielle much like she did in the opening round, but this time she starts driving hooks into DC’s belly. DC doubled up and gasping. Her breasts are just hanging there in her bikini top and Stella gives them a thorough working over. Her puppies banged from side to side and then crushed back, Dani looks stricken as Stella keeps up the jugg pressure, but then clinches (some think it looks more like a desperation bear hug) to stop the punishment. Action resumes, but now Stella using DC’s aching bosom for feints so she can start busting up Dani’s face. DC finally just pulling out of there and using her jab to keep Stella at a distance. Stella keeps trying to get back in but Dani’s not giving way and the newcomer has to settle for winning the round wide.
R4: Stella now feinting at the head so she can damage Danielle to the body. Stella varying where she places her body punches, but she hammers the same spots on the belly and breasts with enough frequency to keep DC reacting to feints in their direction. When the feint works, Stella is then able to smack DC’s head around and add to the growing number of lumps on her face. Danielle jabbing back doggedly to keep from losing all control of the fight, but she gets worked over pretty good as Stella again wins a round wide.
R5: Urgent conversation between the battered Danielle and trainer Nia Peeples during the break. “I got her scared now!” Stella eagerly tells trainer Shannen Doherty
“Maybe, but concentrate on finishing her or at least wearing her down. There’s too much time left in this fight,” Shannen says. “You got to work on getting her down early.”
Meanwhile Nia is advising Danielle: “You need to shake her up. You can’t give her time to think. Keep her on the defensive.”
“I’ve been trying,” Dani pants.
“Try more,” Nia says tartly.
Danielle nods and comes bounding off the stool as the new round begins. No surprise now when Stella comes charging in, but Dani is ready this time and plants quick hard rights and lefts into her forehead to bring Stella to a stunned halt. Then Dani bangs rights and lefts off Stella’s jaw and she falls back is disorder. Dani sees Stella with her gloves up around her face so she goes all-out into her body. Stella doubling up as she is retreating and Danielle works to push her back into the ropes. Takes a while as Stella tries to fight her way free, but Dani able to block the effort and finally she’s got Stella butt on the ropes with punches slamming all over her huddled body. Stella just hanging in there, using the ropes to keep herself up, but she getting pounded hard in the flanks and head. STELLA GOES DOWN! Danielle pushing in has managed to dislodge Stella from her seat on the ropes. Stella slides down and lands in an awkward seated position as referee pushes Danielle away. Stella leaning back against the ropes looking exhausted but when she realizes the referee is counting, she forces herself to her feet and avoid being counted out. Referee checks her over and allows fight to resume, but Stella scoots out of range and manages to stay on her feet to the end of the round, but it goes to Danielle Campbell wide and with the knockdown as a nice bonus.
R6: Things getting confused in the Wannabee corner as Vanessa Hudgens suddenly appears and appears to want to stop the fight. Shannen Doherty seems about to agree, but Stella revives:
“I am NOT quitting! You go sit down ‘Nessa and let me fight my fight!” Stella says with a sternness that surprises her big sister.
“Have it your way,” Vanessa says, but she doesn’t look happy about it.
“She’s got a point,” Shannen says.
“I can turn this around! Give me another round. I can turn this around!” Stella begs.
Shannen nods, but she exchanges doubtful looks with Vanessa.
Meanwhile Danielle is telling Nia Peeples: “It’s working, I’ve got her worn down! I just need to finish her off.”
“Don’t do anything stupid,: Nia orders. “You keep your guard up and be ready. She’s desperate and you wouldn’t be the first fighter to get ko’d by a fighter she thought was finished.”
Bell soon rings and they are back out again. Danielle eagerly comes forward and promptly eats a quick, hard shot to the mouth from Stella. As Danielle recoils with her mouth suddenly bloody from a split lower lip, Stella moves with her trying to get more shots into Dani’s head and face. Dani crouching and catches Stella hard to the gut with a countering right hook. Stella stumbles forward and Dani counterattacks by pumping more shots into Stella’s midsection. Stella backing up with a struggling look on her face. Dani now smashing more rights and lefts over Stella’s weakening high guard and into her jaw. Stella’s head being swiveled back and forth. Dani plants a driving right between Stella’s eyes and DOWN GOES STELLA. Stella thrown hard onto her back and lies there, arms out-flung, legs churning uselessly as she looks up at Danielle with a blank expression.
Danielle heads for neutral corner. Referee moving in. Stella trying to raise herself up, but each time she almost reaches a sitting position she falls back with a groan. The count is rising and she rolls to one side trying to push herself up, but it doesn’t work. She looks over at her corner where a grim-faced Shannen Doherty is watching as Vanessa stands next to her, hands on mouth in a look of horror. Stella lowers her head and has to hear:
“NINE!...TEN!... YER OUT!”
THE WINNER: DANIELLE CAMPBELL DEFEATS STELLA HUDGENS KO6!
After: Ashley Benson, Sasha Pieterse and Autumn Reeser all surrounding the victorious Danielle Campbell. Dani eagerly across the ring once her gloves are off to see how Stella is doing. Vanessa Hudgens blocks the way.
“You won Campbell—you stay away from my sister—she’s had enough!”
“That right, Stella?” Dani calls over Vanessa’s shoulder.
“No! I can take whatever you dish out!.” Stella calls back. Vanessa looks at Shannen who sighs and steps back. Vanessa steps back, but as Dani steps forward, Vanessa grabs her by the arm.
“I told you to stay away!” Vanessa insists.
“You are embarrassing me!” Stella cries as she rises out off her stool.
Danielle shakes off Vanessa and goes up to Stella: “I warned you to stay out of my business with Sammi Hanratty. You just had to join in razzing me about my panties—“
“Obsessed much,” Stella retorts.
“Maybe, but I have decided to have a trophy wall, too. And I think yours would be a nice addition,” Danielle said as Stella gulps
“Right here?” Stella quavers. “In front of everyone?”
Vanessa Hudgens was starting to inch towards Danielle. At that moment, Autumn Reeser suddenly appeared.
“Now, DC, don’t scare the kid, tell her what you really have in mind.” Autumn said, “Back down Vanessa, there’s no need for another brawl.”
Danielle sighed: “But she was practically ready to start crying.”
“I was not!” Stella protests.
“Of course not,” Autumn sayssoothingly and gives DC a nudge in the ribs.
“I want your bottoms, cleaned and ironed with a signed note that they are authentic at PLP HQ by tomorrow morning at the latest. Otherwise I tear them off you right here and now,:” Dani said.
Stella looks relieved, but then says curtly: “They’ll be there and you better put them in a prominent place.”
“Oh? Why?” Danielle asks.
Stella smiles slightly: “Because I plan on being a big star around here some day. You will be one of the lucky few who can say they have my bottoms on your wall.”
Danielle rolls her eyes: “I’ll treasure them forever—if you deliver.”\
“I’ll deliver. A Hudgens keeps her word. Right, Nessa?” Stella directed this last at Vanessa who looked like she just taken shot of lemon juice, but she nodded.
With that Danielle and Autumn made their withdrawal. Word was out the next day that Stella Hudgens was as good as her word and the bikini bottoms were brought to PLP HQ in freshly laundered condition with the required note of authentication attached. Danielle added them to her small (but hopeful) trophy wall.
“Now if I could just have Vanessa’s to go with it, I’d have a perfect sister set,” Danielle observed.
“Good luck on that,” Lucy Hale said, “it may be a long time before you can do that.”
“Maybe,” Danielle said thoughtfully, “or maybe not.”
Meanwhile FCBA rookie fans got to savor a lively bout between two promising (and managed!) young fighters. Danielle showed her edge on experience, but there is no doubt the rookie Stella Hudgens gave her some serious problems. No disgrace for Stella and there should be a plentiful supply of young flyweights around for her to erase the memory of this setback.
