Emma Watson vs Vanessa Hudgens (Flyweight Title)

Emma:
(28, 5’6, 27:22 FCBA, VIXENs)


Vanessa:
(30, 5’2, 71:35 FCBA, Lookout! Boxing)


BEFORE:
"That's three-absolutely-to-ZERO," Hudgens says, holding up three fingers to the crowd for emphasis. "And this British bimbo still wants to get her ass kicked? If anything, I almost respect Watson for it. Almost.”

Vanessa Hudgens lets a sly smile twist over her lips as the rest of the room erupts in laughter. Clearly the Lookout star is the favourite to win tonight, with many pundits already clamouring for what a fourth title run might be like in an already legendary career. This makes Emma Watson hella nervous from across the press table, trying to project as much confidence as she can muster, whilst fingering her Flyweight belt over her shoulder.

"Yes lardeedadee, I've lost to Vanessa three times now, but I'd like to think I'm getting better every single day. I wouldn't be holding the belt if that wasn't the case. So Vanessa can talk and taunt all she wants, but she's in for the new and improved version of me in the ring tonight."

Apart of some of Hudgens' more dubious relationships with members from across the Atlantic, Vanessa actually seen shaking hands with Emma at the podium. Perhaps it's the American's supreme confidence at making this a 4-nil record after tonight’s done and done, and there's also that dry smirk plastered over her face throughout the press conference, giving us the same assumption that she doesn't respect the current champion one bit to take her seriously.

In many ways, it's an impressive run, with Hudgens having to overcome a four-inch height disadvantage three times in a row now, what with the height disparity between both girls becoming apparent when they're standing side-by-side. Emma wearing a light pink bra top, white boxing trunks and red gloves, whereas Vanessa going for her classic grey sports bra, dark-shaded fighting briefs as she bunches her black gloves. HERE we go with ten rounds of Flyweight action! This here’s for the Flyweight Title!

ROUND 1:
Battle of wits as these two take things slow. They've battled three times before now, with each subsequent encounter getting longer and longer. It’s testament to how badly they both want a win. Hudgens naturally the aggressor early on, trying to shock and surprise with sudden flurries towards Emma's head. But Watson keeping a good distance throughout, refusing to let herself get caught so easily by those jabs. Brit focusing on bobbing and weaving, manages to avoid a couple of near misses as Hudgens’ speed is still no match for the champ’s agility. But then Watson stuns her back with a right hand popped into the face once, twice, making Hudgens grimace in pain from the early attention in turn. Close round for the champion when the bell sounds, meaning she's off to a promising start.

ROUND 2:
Vanessa determined to end the champion’s reign even before she gets started though, especially after Emma’s humiliating loss to Miley Cyrus just over two weeks ago. Hudgens back to doing what she does best: charging straight at her foe and then swinging for the fences. Emma caught off guard by a sudden series of hooks crashing into the arms, with a couple of jabs stinging into the lips. She’s doing her best to retreat and gain some breathing space, but Hudgens not about to let Watson get away with two rounds in a row. The Lookout starlet stays on top of her quarry throughout, jamming gloves into the forearms and then shooting leather into the open belly, finally taking big swings at the side of Emma’s head, hoping to get lucky. Emma battered about for a moment, but not in any real trouble - not yet at least, not scoring many points herself this round but at least she’s not in danger of getting knocked down in the second round. Bell rings and the challenger redeems her station with a wide round for herself, Hudgens breathless but smiling wide on her way back to corner.

ROUND 3:
You don’t fix what ain’t broke, and Hudgens comes forward with the same strategy of sucking up Emma’s space in order to pressurise the champ into making a mistake. Watson staying calm, however, moving back as she jams a right hand into Nessa’s face whenever Hudgens comes in hot. But it’s not like Vanessa cares, using one of her arms to block as many punches as she can, all the while storming in over and over again whilst poking at the nose and body. Watson still on the receiving end of more than acceptable damage, starts losing control in the third minute as she’s methodically pushed backwards into a corner. And here comes Hudgens, smelling blood! Disney starlet JUMPS inwards with a right-hand cross that SLAMS into the middle of the arms, eliciting a groan from the champion. But a subsequent swing to the head is avoided when Watson weaves her torso back to avoid. POW - right textbook return hook lands instead on Hudgens’ face, sending her stumbling to the side! OUCH!! Emma relying on her own toolkit as she counter-mands Vanessa’s advantage, sending her reeling back with her own set of jabs poking at the face! Bell rings before either girl can seize the advantage though.

ROUND 4:
Watson marching in confidently, SLAMS a right cross hard into the arms good and early, letting Nessa know she’s still fighting strong in this contest! Vanessa having to fend off a bevy of jabs this time, groaning as her tight body takes a beating left and right, with Emma gleefully swinging her gloves in and battering those abs. Vanessa growling after the first minute, tries battling her way back into the lead with a LUNGING right swipe at Emma’s face. AGAIN it misses as Watson still too sharp and focused to get caught careless like that. Brit actress SLAMS her own hand straight into the nostrils, making Hudgens grunt as her head’s snapped back with a painful wince! All Emma’s show for the remainder of this round as she herds the challenger close to the ropes! Hudgens can only cover up and move, struggling to deal with the constant banging and slamming of leather into her frame! Bell rings and things aren’t looking good for the challenger: Vanessa left panting hard on the ropes, eyes screwed up in rage as she vows vengeance on someone whom she’s already beaten thrice to the moon and back! Still, that means Watson takes another well-deserved wide round.

ROUND 5:
Hudgens growling in frustration, not liking the fact that she’s losing this fight as we cross the middle mark. Against all other girls, she’s certainly used to getting her way, using her aggressive tactics to get in their faces before throwing them about like a dog gnashing a bone between teeth. Not so with Watson, who so far seems to be able to withstand her onslaught and then dish out some of her own brand of punishment. Could Emma truly be a different fighter this FOURTH time they’re fighting? Hudgens would disagree, staying back in the first minute and thus causing the champ to grow complacent. The two gals circle and jab occasionally, with the audience’s cheers filling the noticeable gap in the action now that Hudgens is trying to fight a little smarter as well. Predictably, Emma coming forward and firing jabs at her head in the second minute, taking Hudgens’ reluctance as a sign of weakness. Nessa, however, has other plans, leading the Brit back by the nose for a little while, even giving up a few blows to her tummy, before the Lookout starlet BASHES a right hand clean into the side of the champ’s head, stunning her with just that one shot that lands stiffly! Emma lets out a loud yelp, rocked to the side as she wonders what just hit her. Cue more of the Hudgens freight train as the challenger barrels back into the fray, slapping another hook across the face before the two gals wrap up in a sloppy clinch, growling in each other’s arms until the bell rings. Referee has to physically get in between to pry these two apart, with both ladies still taking pot-swings at each other even though the bell is ringing rapidly.

ROUND 6:
Neither girl really running out of steam just yet, trading blows from afar in the opening seconds, but this time, Emma’s more selective about getting close. She got stung badly last round by Hudgens, and that same sh*t ain’t gonna fly. Hudgens letting out a loud grunt as another one-two flurry catches her on the nose and lips - each time she pulls back for a big swing, Emma’s just a little faster, forcing leather into her face and then easily avoiding the follow-up hook that sails wide and misses. Hudgens baring her teeth and powering through the noise nonetheless, takes a sharp hit to the eye but follows through with a tummy pounding of her own: left right left hands slam into Emma’s tummy, widening eyes as Watson goes stumbling back trying to catch her breath pounded out of her body. Hudgens however in no position to charge in after, met by another wall of jabs to the face as Emma successfully fends off that scare. Bell rings and we still haven’t got a knockdown from either these women - just goes to show how badly they want to be the first and the last one standing.

ROUND 7:
Emma landing a blasting hook early, catching Nessa completely off-guard once the two ladies closed in to swinging distance. Vanessa didn’t expect that kind of aggression from the champ, now reeling back and cursing under her breath as another hook rattles into her arms hard. Watson using her great height advantage to dictate terms this round, pushing Hudgens into retreat with her longer reach as she batters the American’s arms, then goes after her lean body. Vanessa poking back with jabs of her own, but can’t keep up with the sheer magnitude of blows Watson is suddenly firing in the opposite direction. No choice but to clinch up suddenly in the middle of the ring, with Hudgens panting hard on pale skin as she clings onto Emma’s waistline for dear life, snarling as she uses some dirty boxing to turn the tide and buy her time. Emma growling back as well, trying to push Hudgens off, resorts to batting a right hand or two into the side of head, further disorientating Nessa and controlling her backwards into the ropes. Vanessa out of breath as she’s pinned down by the taller woman, one arm shoved into her chest between the tight swipes across her shocked face. Hudgens screaming in both pain and rage, trying to hold on for the bell, taking her own pot shots at British tummy below as the two girls rotate over each other on the ropes until the bell finally rings.

ROUND 8:
Emma almost scored a knockdown last round, this time charges out of her corner hoping to finish the job. But Vanessa ain’t done just yet, absorbs another quick flurry to the arms before DUCKING under a wild hook to the head, SNAPS the champ’s head skywards with an uppercut crisp to the jawline! OUCH!! Emma seeing stars as she’s the one battered and beaten back, forced to cover up as Hudgens barrels into her looking for revenge! Watson’s turn to take some damage, wisely covering up her head but leaving that toned tummy exposed to Hudgens’ sailing in hooks! Loud grunts of pain from the Vixen’s lips as Vanessa shows her no quarter, thumping lefts and rights into the midsection whilst driving her back into the ropes, where the Lookout starlet simply continues the abuse, chugging elbows in and out in close quarters! Watson desperately trying to clinch up to survive the round, her arms wrapped around the back of Hudgens’ neck and waistline, hugging her in tight - Vanessa still snarling into shoulder, arms working continuously as she buries fisted leather into the tummy, shot after shot folding the hapless Brit in half. Bell rings and Emma’s face looking distraught, mouth hanging open as she hangs onto the top rope to support shaky legs. Vanessa still swinging away despite the referee’s warnings, has to be pulled off the champ and herded back to corner, where she lets out a primal shriek of her own at not being able to put her foe down for the count just yet. Both girls taking a shutout round apiece back-to-back, as we head into the final quarter of this fight!

ROUND 9:
No more caution for Vanessa Hudgens as she spends all her pent up energy to go all-in! Emma forced to defend herself as the punches come flying in and from all directions! Hudgens practically screaming across the ring, throwing Watson’s upper torso about left and right with strong hooks crashing into her arms! Emma groaning, backing away, but still hanging in there for the first minute as Vanessa stays on top of her, the Lookout girl not allowing her to get very far, scores another swing to the side, making Emma wince as she’s folded over in half. The wind knocked out her as Vanessa targets her body with another two straight hands, then a BLAST to the side of the head sends Watson reeling into the ropes, looking spent! UGHH! Might this be it?! Watson finds herself in the same position as the last round, only this time facing a much more ferocious foe as Hudgens tears into her like a rabid dog! Watson goes in for another clinch but gets her face BASHED to the side, before an uppercut STACKS the poor girl upwards! AND DOWN THE CHAMP GOES!! EMMA knocked senseless by that series of blows, collapses down and pooled at Hudgens’ feet, the victim of the first KNOCKDOWN of the evening! Will it be the last?!?

Hudgens lets out a shout of victory, can’t help but scream vulgarities down into the champ’s face, even as the referee does his best to push her back towards neutral corner. Emma rolling slowly onto her knees, panting hard, eyes completely squeezed shut as she pushes herself back up one limb at a time. It’s already the ninth round, and most people would say lots still could happen between this last minute and the tenth, but you’ve gotta admire Watson’s tenacity as she recovers by the count of 8, looks determined to end this fight on her own terms! Vanessa snarling at her from across the ring, spit flying as she resorts to insults when her fists didn’t finish the job this time.

ROUND 10:
It’s the last round and both girls know what they have to do to clinch victory here. The score is leaning slightly in Hudgens’ corner with that spectacular knockdown in the ninth. All Hudgens has to do is play it cool and let the timer do the rest of the work for her. Watson on the other hand needs to dig deep and bring it home if she stands a chance of staying on as Flyweight champion. As predicted, the bell rings and Watson charges, with Hudgens moving back and towards the side to avoid a full-on confrontation. Hudgens however a little too slow, barely out of corner and already having to fend off Emma’s long reach immediately, groaning as another one-two combo stings her cheek and chest. Hudgens can’t hope to compete with her opponent’s longer limbs, stands her ground and suddenly decides to go toe-to-toe with the snarling Watson. Bad news for both ladies as they take turns streaking in shots into the head for a good thirty seconds, mutual grunts as they SHOCK each other silly! Emma however weaving back all of a sudden, clear out of the way of an incoming hook, ROCKER OF A RIGHT HAND CRASHES hard into Vanessa’s face instead, sending the challenger rotating with a shriek to the side! Might this be it?! Hudgens smashing into the ropes, barely has time to turn around before another hook SWIPES across her face! The brunette covers up and bends over, hoping to survive these last few seconds to clinch the decision victory, but gets BLASTED TO THE BELLY as Watson steps back and then CHARGES FULL SPEED, both gloved hands DISAPPEARING into the challenger’s midsection as HUDGENS LETS OUT A DEEP GURGLE, GOES DOWN TO HER KNEES!! KNOCKDOWN for Emma Watson, and one HELL of a hail mary move right there!

Holy cow! Hudgens’ eyes still wide with shock, down on all fours as she cradles her stomach, the referee already above her and counting steadily! Emma out of steam as well, breathless as with arms draped over the top rope, praying and begging that this might be it, that this might be enough to secure a win over such a dangerous adversary. But NO! If anyone knows Vanessa Hudgens, she ain’t going down so easy either! The challenger rising back up, gritting her teeth in pain as she recovers to shaky feet by the count of 9!

The bell RINGS again but these two girls aren’t going anywhere, stumbling into each other with heavy breaths and heavier swings to the body, no strength left to finish each other off and ultimately leaving the decision up to the hands of the judges when the referee WAVES his arms to end the fight at the end of three minutes! Girls are shoved apart by the referee, herded back to their respective corners to await the scoreboards. Both corners ERUPT into chaos when the judges’ numbers come back DEAD EVEN! Just like the last time these two fought ten rounds to a draw, it seems likely we’re about to head into an overtime deathmatch once more! Technically, Emma Watson having every right to declare victory right here and now, with a draw in a title match meaning the champion retains the belt. But hell no - these two are still eager to get back in the ring to finish each other off once and for all, with both Emma and Vanessa snarling at the referee in the affirmative when they’re asked if they want to continue this match to its bitter end. It looks like we’re in for one hell of a night!

ROUND 11:
Sudden deathmatch rules means these two ladies are gonna continue knocking each other down until one girl simply can’t get back up! It doesn’t help that they both stumble out of corners as though punch-drunk, spending a good few seconds catching their breath before resuming the action proper. Emma scores first, using her reach to batter the nose in one, two, three times whap whap whap before Hudgens knows what hit her and fires back. Watson fans roaring their approval as any sort of action at this juncture is capable of ending this fight, but Hudgens evades the subsequent blows to her head, then smacks a hook clean into the champ’s arms, stunning Watson back with a powerful show of force. Last minute and Hudgens decides to roar inwards, one last huzzah as she slams a cross into the middle of the arms, using the resultant shockwave to get in close and batter Emma’s body with more heavy thud thud thuds. Emma groaning, already on shaky feet as she’s pushed backwards and in danger of getting trapped on the ropes again. But she manages to slap a hook of her own into Vanessa’s oncoming face, lucky strike throwing off her momentum as Hudgens stumbles from the sudden attack. The two girls end up in a tight clinch in the final seconds, breathing hard on each other’s shoulders whilst digging gloves into whatever skin they can find below, but this round ends with another inconclusive result as the referee pries them apart at the bell.

ROUND 12:
Round 12 it is, already past their own record of 11 rounds going at each other. Vanessa’s chest heaving heavy, deep breaths as she digs even deeper and PUSHES forward, jab combos fading into hard veers to the side meant to shock the champ across the finish line! Emma in trouble early, facing down this sudden onslaught of pressure, blocks most of the incoming jabs but then almost gets thrown off her feet when that hook of Hudgens bashes her arms, another one screaming in almost taking her head off if not for her last minute head movement. Vanessa still laser-focused, pressing her foe into the ropes for more tummy-tucking revenge. She pins Emma down successfully with another hup hup combo shot straight into the belly, but then EATS a return swing STRAIGHT to the face as Emma rebounds with a right cross of her own! UGRGHH! Nessa thrown backwards and OFF HER FEET as her face disappears in leather, upper torso absolutely CLOTHESLINED as she lands with a loud THUDD on the ground! KNOCKDOWN for the champion! THIS MUST BE IT!!

Nessa fans of course cheering their girl on in this final stretch, but Hudgens simply left lying there, entirely lifeless for a good portion of the early count, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she barely squints up at the glaring lights! Referee’s already at the count of 6 and only then does she begin to stir, mouth open and sucking in large swaths of air as Hudgens PUSHES herself back up without even opening her eyes! Good lord does this girl really WANT this belt around her waist, and want it badly! Even Emma can’t believe her eyes from neutral corner as Vanessa recovers once more by the skin-of-the-teeth 9! There’s still two minutes on the clock as the referee reluctantly WAVES for the fight to continue! How much more abuse can these two take?!

Emma cautiously stalking in, wary of any trap the wiley Hudgens might pull all of a sudden. But Vanessa merely groaning as the first few jabs slap into her cheek and chin without much resistance, her arms flailing wildly as she does her best to defend herself and survive till the thirteenth, but that swelling above the eye taking its toll and affecting her vision by this point. Emma however not about to give her any last chances, bashes another right hand into her face, spinning Vanessa around, where she crashes into the ropes and hangs onto the top rope to steady herself best she can. Watson homing in like a missile, hup hup hup hup rapid shots to the distraught girl’s tummy, then a BLAST UPWARDS ROCKS NESSA’S HEAD UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE!! LOUD GROAN from lips as Vanessa’s eyes roll upwards white, then she SINKS DOWN to her side once more! THIS TIME, SHE’S KNOCKED OUT COLD! IT’S FINALLY OVER!!

Official Decision: Emma Watson defeats Vanessa Hudgens via KO12! Emma Watson is STILL the Flyweight Champion!

AFTER:
Good lord! What a brawl this has been, one that’s left both women flat on the ground, with Emma herself collapsing to her knees immediately after the referee makes the decision official. The Brit seen sobbing into her gloves, having secured her first title defence and done so at the expense of such a dangerous adversary.

Vanessa still out cold on her back, arms splayed above her head and mouth sucking in deep breaths from the match’s toll on her. She’s put up one hell of a fight, and some would say she only went down due to her early bursts of stamina that cost her the fight in the latter rounds. Emma’s not done with her just yet, however, after all those matches of getting the upper hand over Watson, Watson now finally getting her chance to lay her hands on her rival.

Watson barely enough strength left herself, merely plops down beside Vanessa’s prone body, straddling her thighs by the side of her bruised cheeks. Barely any resistance from Hudgens, who groans as her hands are slapped away weakly. Emma pins her shoulders down and then buries fingernails into her dishevelled hair to secure her perch. Uncharacteristic behaviour of the traditionally polite British girl, who smiles sickly down into her foe’s face, before raising a hand high into the air, like a victory flag planted over her conquered enemy.

This ain’t over, of course, with Hudgens later coming back around and seething with rage at this post-match treatment. It’s small consolation that the Lookout girl still has three victories to Emma’s one, and who knows how many more rounds these two will take their feud to the next time they clash!
