(Written by Girls Friday/Results Lookout)
(Free Agent vs Free Agent)
Intro:
So here it is, the final of the lightweight New Blood tournament that sees 25 year olds and under free agents do battle for the chance to show the boxing world that they deserve the respect and earn the name value to hopefully be signed by a stable. Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevigne were the two to advance to this final after emotionally charged battles with people close to them to earn this right. Kendall had beaten her friend and as she calls her family Bella Hadid to get through in a close contest that saw them put their friendship on hold till after the fight. While Cara whose having one hell of a summer with being in Suicide Squad, beat her best friend Suki Waterhouse in a hotly contested fight, that saw both willing to destroy someone they love dearly to get this spot.
In the end both winners made up with their friends at the end and the similarities between these two wasn't lost on the media.
At the press event for this final, both women wore dresses, Kendall in a blood red dress with matching heels came into the room with Bella Hadid in a long white dress and Gigi Hadid arriving in a blue dress.
Cara was next into the room wearing a black shoulder less dress and black heels, she had Suki Waterhouse next to her in a white dress that made her and Bella look at each other red faced while Gigi laughed at her sister.
The room went silent as the first stare down between the finalists since Cara won her bout was about to go down. Both seemed ready to circle each other and fight it out now as they stared at each other from opposite sides of the room. Kendall took the first step forward and Cara wasn't far behind as they purposely walked towards each other to start this event. The lanky Jenner has to lean down due to her nearly 3 inch height advantage, as both scowl at each other and everyone is waiting for the
fireworks. But they don't come as even if the girls won't admit it, they respect each other for who they are, as the media wasn't the only one to notice how similar they are. Both take a step back as they shake hands to show that respect before figuratively returning to their corners before coming to speak to the press.
Kendall is up first as she says "this tournament has been so hard on so many levels, how many people have to beat up a person they view as family for a chance at something special?" Looking at Bella with eyes that seem guilty as the younger Hadid smiles and points at the media in front of her friend. Jenner continues "I'm going to make my friends and family proud as I show why they call me queen Kendall"
Cara nods at Kendall as she steps forward and starts by saying "I wholeheartedly agree with her on the first bit, we had to crush the ones we love to get what we believe we deserve" Looking directly at her opponent "but this queen Kendall stuff has to stop, I am going to stop you and show you why I'm the enchantress of the FCBA as I lead my army of fans in cheering me to success"
Both women share a small smile as the media event goes on and everything seems OK till screaming is heard in the centre of the room. Kendall and Cara rush to find Suki and Bella locked up on the ground, ripping the others dress as the journalists, some drunk by now cheer the two on.
Cara and Kendall look at the cheering Gigi whose shouting at her sister "rip that posers dress off sis"
Kendall asks "who started it?" To which Gigi replies with a I don't know shoulder lift.
Kendall steps towards the women shouting "break it up you two!" But when she innocently grabs Suki to move her to get between them. Cara misreads the situation and after kicking her heels off, charges her future opponent, tackling her to the ground. Both start hair pulling and landing body punches as they scream bloody murder at each other in what's a chaotic scene as Bella and Suki are up and fist fighting with security having to rush to get them apart.
While both finalists push apart and Kendall shouts "what the hell was that?"
To which Cara answers "you attacked Suki"
Kendall is trying to defuse the situation but Cara stands up and tells her rival "when we step onto that beach and into that ring, I'm going to kick your F'in arse bytch"
Cara pulls a still irrate Suki away from Bella, whose got her fists raised and ready to box Waterhouse now but she has Kate Upton to worry about as Gigi just stands with a bottle of champagne shaking her head at what's just happened while laughing. Fighting time and a beach is the arena as bleachers have been set up for this fight with ring posts placed into the sand. Because of this being a special PPV, it will be the only New Blood final to be based on a beach which gives these two an extra piece of
history to add to their C.V's.
The fight is being held in Miami beach, Kendall walks to the ring first, Gigi Hadid is in the front of the crowd as Jenner walks up to her to give her a hug before stepping into the ring. She's wearing a silver swimsuit with Queen Jenner on the back in gold letters while she has white gloves to finish her look off. Cara is out next, she has the same black swimsuit and black eye shadow war paint from her semi final bout which certainly makes her look striking. She finishes the look with black gloves as she climbs into the ring and bangs them together to try and imitated her opponent. Kendall just smiles at her as she looks at all the get up and wonders if it's all to hide her nerves or maybe her lack of talent.
Ali Landry is the special referee for this tournament and she smiles as she sees the drive of both fighters to win this title. Coming to the ring centre, Ali finishes her instructions and as she orders a touch of gloves, Cara is about to back away before Kendall holds her gloves out in front of her.
Reluctantly, Cara does touch gloves but whispers "I'm still kicking your arse for Suki" to which Kendall quickly replies "I wouldn't expect anything less" Cara let's herself smile at that but quickly berates herself in her mind for doing that when she is supposed to hate this woman.
10 rounds of lightweight action for the New Blood tournament crown begins now.
Round 1:
The fighters come out and Kendall is right away taking control of the fight with her extra few inches of height allowing her to jab Cara around the ring. Cara keeps trying to get to the inside but is being knocked back at every turn to the outside of the ring. The look on her face tells you that she's letting her nerves control her as Kendall is simply having her way with her and it has to be asked whether she truly deserves to be in the final if she can't get past them. Cara is just in complete defensive mode as the Jenner sister keeps coming forward now and is shoving the smaller woman backwards with ease with her jab. The round ends with the crowd looking at each other in shock at how easy Kendall had it during the opening round.
Round 2:
Suki Waterhouse turns up to stand in Cara's corner to berate her best friend to do something and to snap out of this stupor she's in. As the round starts, it seems to pay off as Cara charges into attack the body of Kendall, who is looking shocked at the turn around of her opponent. The taller brunette has to keep shoving Cara away before she can work her jab at mid range, while Cara is working out how to work her way back to the body by ducking and waiving around the jab. The difference in styles is making for an interesting chess match as Kendall is doing her best to press back Cara. But the English girl is having a lot of success as she gets underneath her opponent's jab to lace her gloves up into the beautiful face of the American fighter. Cara is controlling the late part of the round as the crowd erupts, cheering on both fighters as they trade on the inside with Delevigne land the greater number of punches and the cleaner set. The bell rings with Cara roaring to the crowd and Suki claps her friend as Kendall looks on shocked at how quickly her opponent turned the fight around.
Round 3:
Kendall looks up to Gigi who raises her fists and signs for her friend to keep her guard up against Cara just as the bell rings. Cara is looking to get inside again but Kendall is fighting on the back foot this time, keeping that jab as her primary weapon against the smaller woman. The Enchantress is still finding her way through to get at the Queen of the Jenner's but the American is starting to get her range back for the most part as she starts looping punches around the guard of Cara to smack her head. Kendall is even starting to get up on her toes as she moves around the ring and Suki is worried about her friend as the lanky Jenner is taking control back of the ring. Cara manages to break her way through again to the body of Kendall, who decides to hang on and lean down on her rival.
Ali breaks them apart and Cara just about realises what Kendall was doing as she eats more leather from a quick combo of the self appointed Queen to rock her back slightly. The bell rings with Kendall strutting back to her corner and blowing a kiss to Gigi as a thank you for her support, while Suki is rallying Cara's spirits.
Round 4:
Kendall tries to get back out quickly to control the pace and the space between the two fighters again but she runs into a problem quickly. Lunging forward to try and land a hard jab to push Cara to the ropes, instead the smaller brunette ducks under and lands a hard overhand right to the chin of Kendall knocking her down to her bum. Kendall looks shocked as she shakes her head and looks down to see she is seated in the sand, while Cara is standing in a neutral corner with a big Cheshire cat grin. The ref reaches 5 before Kendall starts to push herself up to her feet, the count is at 8 as she is up and still shaking her head. Checking her over, the ref says that Kendall can continue and Suki is shouting for her friend to finish the fight now. Cara tries to heed her friends advice as most of the round is still to go and she's moving every which way to open up a space to dive into and clock Kendall to that chin again. Kendall is busy trying to defend herself as best she can as she moves flat footed with her head still shaken and Cara manages to get inside to rock the taller woman to the ropes. Latching on to her rival in utter desperation, Kendall's lip is bleeding as she looks into the crowd with a scared look on her face and Gigi is almost in tears as she watches her best friend being beat up. Landry pulls the fighters apart and Kendall is in full retreat mode, just being able to keep Cara away with her jab till the bell rings and Delevigne lifts her arms to a cheering crowd.
Round 5:
Cara is bouncing out of her corner as she's so pumped up by her success and is focused solely on finishing off Kendall now. Managing to get Kendall on the ropes early, she starts cracking away at the body with hard short sharp punches that make Kendall spit her gumshield out before she latches on to Cara in another clinch. Cara is still able to free her left hand and work the body till the ref pulls them apart, then he orders that Kendall gets a new gumshield and warns her not to spit it out again on purpose or that's a point off. The action starts again and the little rest seems to have helped Kendall as she gets back to her toes to start boxing around the ring again. But Cara is like a fly that won't stop following her and it's not long till she's back inside the reach of Jenner and cracks her to the lips again, forcing Kendall to hold again to get the ref to enforce the space again. Cara is complaining to Landry that Kendall is excessively holding to which the ref warns Jenner to stop doing that or she'll lose a point. The bell rings with Kendall on thin ice warning wise and she looks up to see Gigi isn't in the crowd but she gets a fright as Hadid shouts "what the f'in hell are you playing at?"
Round 6:
Kendall after a pep talk and tactics discussion with her best friend stands up looking renewed mentally if still alittle worst for wear body wise. Both come out quickly and Kendall surprises the confident Cara by getting back onto her front foot and landing hard jabs and straights that knock her back a few steps. Cara is able to duck under again but Jenner sends a warning hook that just skims off her head and allows Kendall to step back to put the range back in her favour. Blood is coming from Cara's lips now to match Kendall's bloody lips, which seems to spur Kendall on as she continues to force Cara backwards. Cara thinks she's timed her duck and attack move but as Kendall keeps eagle eyes focus for it, Delevigne doesn't disappoint and Jenner cracks her across the face with a right hook and follows with a left uppercut. The crowd goes wild as Cara lands on her back on the sand and Kendall looks shocked that Gigi was right as she goes to a neutral corner and mouths "thanks" to Gigi. Suki is shouting for Cara to get up! Delevigne looks up and moans to herself before she starts pushing herself up at 6. Hearing the count fully now, she quickly stands and wobbles a bit before getting her feet under her and her gloves up to show she can still fight. The ref still checks her over and deems her OK to fight, Cara bangs her gloves together then away we go as Kendall is back pressing her foe backwards again. Cara is just about surviving as the bell rings and Kendall looks angry that she can't get the finish before the bell as the two fighters exchange a harsh glare at each other and now the prize is so close for both, any respect seems to be disappearing.
Round 7:
Kendall looks ready to run across the ring to get at Cara but Gigi keeps her calm by telling her what to do, while Suki is doing a similar job in Delevigne's corner. Both come out swinging as they can both smell the win and the chance to be a history maker in their careers. Back and forth they go but Kendall isn't going to fight at Cara's range if she can help it, so she stays behind that jab and whips her right hand around towards the face of Cara. The smaller fighter is trying to keep her feet moving fast like before but the knock down seems to have seriously affected her as she isn't as coordinated as before. She's still doing to best to get within the range of Jenner and she manages to land a hard hook to the body of Kendall to make the bigger woman wince. But back comes Kendall with spearing right hands that knock Cara to the ropes and now the smaller fighter has to clinch up to stop being hurt. The ref is prying the fighters apart whose eyes are staring coldly at each other and they even go nose to nose as if warning the other to give up now. As they break apart, Cara is quick to move off the ropes and seems to be better footed now but she can't stop Kendall from coming forward at
all it seems. The English girls head snapping back till the bell, when all Delevigne can do is look up at her opponent and mouth "bytch" which makes Kendall square back up with her. The two tired and beaten up fighters go nose to nose again as the scowl at the other and it seems any chance these two will become friends is totally gone now.
Round 8:
Kendall is up on her toes and ploughing hard straights down to the face of Cara, whose head is being snapped back and her legs are wobbling as Suki screams for her to move. But her legs are starting to become jelly and the taller fighter is enjoying her dominance now as she uses her jab to set up a hard right hook that cracks Cara on her cheek and sends her down in a heap to the sand. Kendall raises her arms as she thinks that it's over as Ali begins to count out Cara and while Landry doesn't care for either woman, she has to admit Cara has guts as at 9, the Brit is standing. Getting checked over, Ali warns her "if I let you continue, you have to put up a fight" Cara nods and the fight is somehow back on. Cara lands a shot to a unfocused Kendall but that wakes up the American to get back her focus to beat Delevigne back to the ropes and as the punishment rains in, Ali Landry does her job shouting "that's it! Fights over!" Kendall lifts her hands back to stop her onslaught on her defenseless opponent
and Ali surprises herself by cradling the defeated woman.
Winner: Kendall Jenner KO round 8
After:
Kendall rushes over to Gigi and the two friends embrace, while Suki quickly dives into the ring and hugs her defeated friend who is trying to fight back her tears. Ali Landry hates to say it but inside she has to give both girls that they gave their all but only one could be victorious in this battle. Kendall walks over to Cara, Suki and Gigi stand ready to fight it out if it comes to it but the Jenner sister holds her hand out to show there is still a level of respect between the two. Cara doesn't really want to shake hands with the girl who just took her chance at being a tournament winner. In the end though she does shake her hand but says "next time we meet, I'm getting my hand raised" That prompts Kendall to pull her rival close and the two go nose to nose once again with the brunette saying "when that day comes, I plan on using you as a footrest, the only reason I'm not now is because you don't deserve it after that fight, but don't mistake my kindness for weakness OK?"
Cara replies "we'll see won't we, don't get too comfortable on your throne, I'm going to drag you by your hair down to earth your Majesty"
Both women nod as Cara walks away and Gigi shouts "Bella expects a cheque for her dress Suki or she'll come collect it herself bytch" to which the blonde replies with the middle finger salute which makes Gigi smile as she can tell Bella to kick Suki's ass.
Ali interrupts the discussions to say "Kendall, it's time I give you your trophies but don't think this means I like or respect you, it's a nice payday for me"
Kendall grins as she kneels down to receive her tiara that's pinned into her hair and her trophy from the hall of famer. The crowd claps for Kendall who waves like the queen she claims to be to the crowd and Gigi is fighting back the tears, claiming a piece of sand is in her eyes.

In the end though she does shake her hand but says "next time we meet, I'm getting my hand raised" That prompts Kendall to pull her rival close and the two go nose to nose once again with the brunette saying "when that day comes, I plan on using you as a footrest, the only reason I'm not now is because you don't deserve it after that fight, but don't mistake my kindness for weakness OK?"
Cara replies "we'll see won't we, don't get too comfortable on your throne, I'm going to drag you by your hair down to earth your Majesty"
Both women nod as Cara walks away and Gigi shouts "Bella expects a cheque for her dress Suki or she'll come collect it herself bytch" to which the blonde replies with the middle finger salute which makes Gigi smile as she can tell Bella to kick Suki's ass.
Ali interrupts the discussions to say "Kendall, it's time I give you your trophies but don't think this means I like or respect you, it's a nice payday for me"
Kendall grins as she kneels down to receive her tiara that's pinned into her hair and her trophy from the hall of famer. The crowd claps for Kendall who waves like the queen she claims to be to the crowd and Gigi is fighting back the tears, claiming a piece of sand is in her eyes.
