(Chimera vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The next fight tonight sees Blake Lively look to knock back the quicker rising Wallis Day, here at Madison Square Garden they do battle.

Blake is 32 years old; she stands 5'9, holding a record of 26 wins, 23 coming by way of knockout, with 29 defeats, she is a former FCBA lightweight champion.

Wallis is 25 years old; she stands 5'8 ½, holding an impressive record of 7 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with only 1 defeat, she is the 2019 New Blood lightweight tournament winner.

Both fighters were asked for a word before the fight in their locker rooms by Lucy Liu for the FCBA network, first up is Blake in the Chimera locker room, she is talking to her coach Charlize Theron about their game plan.

When they see Lucy, Charlize waves her in to sit and get her questions answered, Lucy wondering how Blake is feeling going into this fight with Lively smiling.

"I am feeling great, well rested I think is the best way of putting it, *winking* being stuck on the bench most of the time isn't fun, I am going to bring my best tonight so I get off that bench" says Blake as Charlize nods along.

Lucy asks her opinion on Wallis, with Blake answering "she has started off well I'll admit, though most of her wins have been against let's say has beens, I hope she realises that I am not finished by a long shot, she is in for a war for the first time in her career"

Lucy then heads into the locker room of Wallis, seeing her getting her gloves on with an excited look on her face, with Lucy getting a moment to talk to her.

"Hey Lucy, before you ask I am so ready for this, Blake is tough I know that and look forwards to testing myself against her" Wallis tells Lucy as she tests out her gloves by bumping them together.

When asked if there is any news on her joining a stable, Wallis laughs before replying "you know I can't answer that, I have spoken to different stables, until I sign a contract with someone I am still a free agent is all you need to know" Lucy thanks Wallis for her time before leaving the room.

Fighting time; Blake heads out with Charlize beside her, the two blondes are chatting as they jog down the aisle, looking relaxed as they nod to the crowd.

The American is wearing a white sports bra, stars and stripes pattern on her trunks, red shoes, blue gloves, while her hair is up in a ponytail.

Getting into the ring; Blake blows kisses to her fans, standing in her corner with a big smile, she works over Charlize's hands like they are punch pads.

Wallis heads out with her coach behind her, she is wearing a black hoodie with the hood up, looking in a good mood as she stares down at the ring.

After the English lass gets her hoodie helped out, it is revealed she is wearing a black sports bra with "WD" in white letters on the left bra cup, black trunks, matching shoes and gloves, her blonde hair is cut down short.

Climbing into the ring, Wallis bows to each side of the ring to show respect to the fans, she heads to her corner to go through her own warm up routine.

The fighters come to the center of the ring, both look relaxed as they listen to the referee, shaking their arms to keep themselves limbered up.

Touching gloves up respectfully, they each wish the other luck before returning to their corners, the bell is rung to start 10 rounds of lightweight action.

Round 1:
Circling each other to begin, they start off with single punches to test the others defences, with their similar heights they both land several crisp punches to cheeks.

It's Blake who looks to push the pace first, stepping in with a jab/right cross that her opponent is able to step back, Wallis countering with a left to the cheek of the American.

That seems to give Wallis confidence as she starts to open up more, sticking and moving as she lands two or three punches at a time.

Blake lands a left cross as Wallis steps in, the veteran comes up with another two punches into the face of Day to push her backwards, looking to press the action herself.

But she misses with a right as Wallis dips down, hammering in body shots as she starts to back up Blake to the outside of the ring, forcing the American to shove her to open up space.

The final seconds of the round sees the fighters let their hands go at the center of the ring, punches slamming across the others face till the round comes to a finish.

Returning to their corners, the fighters listen to their coaches as they chat with them, Wallis getting the nod from pundits that she won this round.

Round 2:
Again they start off with single punches, Wallis more up on her toes as she moves side to side, looking to be an elusive target as Blake isn't as mobile right now.

The former champion though shows her class to feint with a left, she then swings a right to the side of Wallis's head, that opens up the Brit to more punches to her face.

Blake steps forwards with her focus on smashing the face of Day, who is blocking most of the punches, several though send her head backwards with her hair flying around.

With Wallis needing to dip down to dodge a straight, getting into space but finding Blake isn't going to let her off so easily, they both trade shots to the others face.

A straight knocks back the head of Wallis late in the round, Blake steps in with two hooks under the ribs of the Krypton actress, the bell rings as Wallis is covering up on the ropes.

This time Blake gets the nod from the pundits, Charlize and Blake talk about the round with a grin, Wallis meanwhile looks to the heavens mumbling under her breath, clearly not happy how things went.

Round 3:
Now they are warmed up they are throwing more punches together, getting in closer to work as they seem to be trying to press their opponent back.

A jab/straight opens up Wallis to a right across her mouth, blood trickles from the bottom lip of Day as she is knocked back towards the rope.

Taking the center of the ring is allowing Blake to control the action, she takes a few stiff shots but is landing more as she keeps Wallis from getting the space she wants to work in.

Drilling several punches through the mitts of Wallis into her face, the American is stopping her coming back at her, the Lively fans loving this as they see her skillfully control the pace of things.

As the round heads into the final thirty seconds, Wallis slips a straight and counters with an uppercut that knocks back Blake, allowing her to get some momentum up to the bell.

Sitting on her stool with her coach cleaning up her lip, Wallis getting told to think smarter in the ring, while Blake gets wiped down by Charlize, they look the much more happier corner so far.

Round 4:
The fighters drill shots into the others cheeks, Blake looking to keep the pressure on Wallis, lands a jab/right cross to the face of the Brit.

With Blake backing up Wallis near the ropes, a straight though misses Wallis as she deflects it, a right hook coming from Day into the ribs of Lively to make her groan out.

The action starting to swing back and forth, Blake is able to press back Wallis, but a missed punch leaves her open to hard counter shots to push her back.

An uppercut from Wallis opens Blake to a left across the side of her head, Wallis begins to open up on her fellow actress as sweat flies off the head of Lively.

Blake covers up in a corner as she finds herself knocked back, Wallis puts her head down as she swings to the ribs, Blake wincing under the pressure.

At the bell Wallis turns back to her corner with a relaxed look, her coach praises her but tells her to keep focused on going forwards.

In the Chimera corner Blake is listening to Charlize about what she needs to change, both know they have a good chance of winning this fight if they can keep on top of things.

Round 5:
Blake is out her corner landing several punches to the mouth of Wallis, pressing her back as she steps forwards with more punches aimed to the head.

But a right sails over the head of Wallis, who hammers a right into the gut of Blake, then an overhand left strikes across the chin of the Chimera fighter.

Things are starting to switch around; Wallis is backing up Blake, pounding the body of the older fighter as she forces her towards the ropes.

Blake pushes back Wallis, stepping forwards she swings a left hook that misses, Wallis countering with a right to the liver, BLAKE LOOKS WINDED BADLY AS SHE STEPS BACK, WALLIS BASHES INTO TWO MORE BODY SHOTS TO SEND DOWN BLAKE TO ALL FOURS!

Blake sucking in air as she holds her stomach with her right, 8...9.. Sitting on her heels watching the count right face, 10 that's all for Blake!

Jogging over to her corner, Wallis hugs her coach before raising her fists in the air while looking out to the crowd, who are applauding her for a great finish.

Blake is up to her feet now with Charlize chatting on her, they chat about the fight as Blake is still breathing heavy, Blake doesn't seem to think that she'd have gotten caught if she saw more action lately.

Returning to her own corner, Blake looks happy to have a seat, with Wallis coming over to check on her, Charlize pats the youngster on the back as she congratulates her, things looking friendly between Wallis and the Chimera crew, even between the two fighters.

Once they are ready, both women come to the center of the ring, the referee lifting the right hand up of Wallis as she looks ecstatic.

Nodding over to Wallis to show respect, Blake steps out the ring with Charlize beside her, they talk about the fight, where things went wrong for them.

While Wallis poses for the cameras with hands on her hips, grinning as her coach stands behind her saying "she is heading to the top guys, expect to see this beautiful smile more often" leading to Wallis laughing.

(Bonzo's Gym vs Lioness club of America)

Intro:
Now a rematch two years in the making, Kira Kosarin fights Minka Kelly here in Madison Square Garden, how far has Kira come since that first fight and can Minka get revenge tonight?

Kira is 22 years old; she stands 5'8, holding a record of 20 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with 10 defeats.

Minka is 39 years old; she stands 5'5, holding a record of 54 wins, 50 coming by way of knockout, 26 defeats with 1 draw, she is a former FCBA bantamweight champion.

As stated this two fought back in 2017, Kira was able to come out on top of the action with a seventh round knockout of the legend Minka.

Since then though Kira just has had one struggle in her rise, that is jumping over that final hurdle to win a title, something she failed to do in October.

It is the subject the press bring up with Kira as they head into the Bonzo stable gym, with coach Nadia Bjorlin drilling her through a training session and only when she is done does she allow the youngster to the journalists.

When asked how she feels about how her career is going, Kira wipes her brow of sweat, looking annoyed at the question before replying "I am doing good I believe, I am not sweating about winning a title if that is what you are getting at"

Clearly seeing it is a sore subject, a journalist asks Kosarin about Minka, with Kira nodding as she answers "Minka is a great fighter, I was honoured just to fight her the first time around, the fact I beat her helped me with my confidence so much"

Picking up a towel and tossing it over her shoulder, Kira continues "the fact I have beaten her though is why I am not worried about this fight, I know she physically can't match me and I aim to work my way back to the title" she then heads off to the lockers to change.

For Minka there are questions whether she can really fight with two days rest at her best, she only beat Arielle Kebbel on Sunday night, most thinking her age could be a big factor.

It could prove a bigger factor as journalists head into the Lioness stable gym, they find Minka is sparring with Nina Dobrev as coach Claudia Schiffer watches them, giving them advice on the fly what they both need to change.

As soon as Minka is finished, she fist bumps Nina before heading over to the ropes nearest to the journalists, joking "I'd step back guys unless you want my sweat on you" chuckling as she watches them take a step back.

She is asked about fighting two bouts so close, Minka just grins as she tells them "I am in great shape if that is what worries you, I will show you and Kira why I am an elite fighter"

On the subject of her opponent "Look I'll keep this simple, the first time I fought Kira I took the wrong approach, I gave her too much respect in the ring, she simply out boxed me that night" admits Minka.

Then thudding her gloves together, Minka adds with a serious look "we'll find out how much she can really fight, I have bare knuckle boxed here in the FCBA, so you all know I can brawl when needed to" stepping through the ropes, Minka jogs off to chat to Claudia.

Fight night; Kira is led out by Nina down the aisle, Kira throwing a few punches as she goes, eyes on the ring as she looks focused purely on this fight, even as a sell out crowd show her a lot of love.

She is wearing a baby blue sports bra, matching trunks with "Next Gen" in red letters on the waistband, blue shoes, red gloves and her hair is tied back into a braid.

Getting in the ring, Kira blows kisses to the crowd as she heads to her corner, beginning to shadow box as she waits for Minka.

Who comes out quickly enough with Claudia beside her, Minka thudding her gloves together at the top of the aisle, before jogging down to the ring with an intense look on her face.

She is wearing a green sports bra, matching trunks, shoes, gold gloves with green thumbs, her hair is tied back into a fighting ponytail.

Climbing into the ring with her eyes firmly on Kira, Minka raises her fists into the air when her supporters begin to chant her name, then begins stretching to warm up for a tough contest ahead.

The referee brings the fighters together, they both look the other over before locking eyes, quickly thudding their gloves together when told to touch them up.

Returning back to their corners, they both bounce on their toes while getting final instructions from their coaches, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.

Round 1:
The early moments of the fight sees both of them struggle not to stand on the others lead foot, Minka being a southpaw is obviously more used to these problems.

She adjusts first when she steps in with a jab to the mouth of Kira, a right hook follows that forces the youngster to take a step back, Minka doing as she said and trying to make this a fight already.

Pressing in close to force Kira into fiery exchanges, Minka dipping under punches so she can land hard shots on the inside of the taller fighters reach.

Kira needing to box more off the back foot then she'd like, landing some pinpoint punches to the face of Minka to keep her from overrunning her.

But as the round enters it's final stages, the veteran deflects a jab before landing her own left across the jaw of Kosarin, stepping in with her head down to throw hooks to the body.

At the bell Minka already looks better then she did the first time these two fought, Claudia looking ecstatic that her fighter isn't staying back this time around.

Round 2:
Moving more up on her toes, Kira looks deeply focused on getting the range where she wants it, drilling in piston like punches to the cheek of her slower opponent.

Minka struggling a little to close the gap this time around, finding herself knocked backwards when she tries to get in tighter, thudding her gloves together in a sign of frustration already.

The first mistake though off Kira allows Minka to get where she wants, a missed straight punch gives Kelly that opening, pounding a right into the abs of the youngster.

Going in closer to Kira; Minka forces another heated exchange, with both fighters landing hard shots to the others cheeks, hair is flying around as neither is holding back on their punches.

Needing to use her left to shove Minka back to the face, Kira uses the space created to hammer in her punches towards the head of the Lioness fighter.

Who is stuck behind her gloves in the final seconds of the round, when the bell rings Kira looks a little more relaxed, Nadia telling her to wear down her opponent before knocking her spark out.

Round 3:
As they resume the action, Kira again is focusing on sticking and moving, targeting the head of Minka with straight punches, most landing on the tightened guard of the former champion.

Who is bobbing and weaving more while she seeks a way to the inside, Kira is keeping her at range for the time being though, making her coach smile for now.

Till Minka feints with her jab, instead landing an overhand right to the jaw of Kosarin to knock her back onto her heels, Minka starting to power her back with body shots.

Needing to nudge back Minka, Kira is looking annoyed that she isn't keeping the tough as nails Kelly back, finding herself in slugging exchanges with the older woman.

In the final moments of the round Minka gets overzealous, missing with an uppercut as Kira steps back, a left hook instead cracks her in her ear, mostly likely making it ring with more then just the bell sounding to signal the end of the round.

Though Kira has probably done enough to be ahead on the scorecards, the Bonzo corner looks more worried of the two due to the way that Minka is getting chances to be aggressive in close range.

Round 4:
Stepping out their corners with intense looks on their faces, both women exchange double jabs as they seem to be trying to find another gear.

Feinting more; Minka is able to slip in close, landing rights into the ribs of Kira, before she is knocked back by an uppercut from the "Thundermans" star.

Kira is able to bang in a two punch combo to the face of Minka, hoping to back her up to the ropes as she steps forwards with more punches aimed at the head.

She misses though with a left cross, earning a right under her ribs from Minka, the Lioness corner grins as they watch their fighter land an overhand left after to the side of Kira's head.

Minka looking the more comfortable in these inside exchanges, her smaller frame coming in handy to dodge before landing two or three punches back.

Forcing Kosarin onto the back foot around the outside of the ring, only throwing single punches up till the end of the round.

The crowd are roaring for both fighters, though more seem to be swinging to Minka's side, her aggression this time around certainly has Claudia smiling as she tells her to keep this pace up.

Round 5:
It's not long into the round that Minka finds her way to the inside, landing a left/right hook into the sides of her opponents body, with Minka pressing the pace.

The youngster manages to land a nice left hook to the side of Minka's head when she is driven near a corner, Kira showing plenty of fight here as an uppercut then sends Minka retreating back.

When Kosarin tries to keep Kelly pinned back behind her guard, she leaves herself too open, missing with a left cross and paying for it with a right onto her gut.

Minka gets her head down as she keeps in tight to drive back her opponent, forcing her around the ropes, with Kira landing single punches to the head of the smaller woman.

Nudging back Minka; Kira moves away from the ropes, catching Kelly to the nose with a double jab, finally getting some momentum going in the final thirty seconds of the round.

When the round ends the Lioness corner is smiling as they feel that Minka is on top of this, Claudia wiping her down as they talk about the fight.

Across the ring Nadia is telling Kira she needs to find a way to stop Minka coming at her, Kira nodding with a serious expression.

Round 6:
Keeping on the front foot, Minka throwing jabs at the body of the Bonzo fighter, looking to dart inside the reach of Kosarin.

Minka steps in and eats a right hook onto her brow, a follow up left across her nose has Minka moving back with tears in her eyes, blood running from her nostrils.

Seeing that seems to spur on Kira, she bashes Minka through her mitts into her bloody nose, making Minka cry out with each clean hit that lands.

Minka is swinging as she tries to close the distance between them, Kira seems to have found more energy to move around the older woman, then spike her to the face.

A double jab lands on the nose of Minka, an uppercut lands to knock back the former champion, Kira keeping Minka stuck on the ropes as she throws a barrage of punches at her head.

The bell rings with Minka looking down at the canvas, blood drips to it as she heads back to her corner, Claudia looks upset as she works to patch up the nose of her fighter.

Kira on the other hand looks zoned in, staring across the ring at Minka as she is cleaned up, Nadia reminding her to strike when she sees a chance, don't simply charge in wildly.

Round 7:
Back out they both come, though Minka isn't charging in close now, flicking out her jab as she tries to close the distance

But the reach of Kira allows her to land a jab over the top to that bloody nose, AS MINKA'S GUARD OPENS UP A RIGHT HOOK CRACKS HER ACROSS HER NOSE TO SEND HER SPRAWLING TO THE CANVAS!

Jogging over to the neutral corner quickly, Kira looks a little worried for Minka, 1....2...3... Who can be heard sobbing as she cups her nose in her gloves, 4....5...6... Claudia looks to be wondering whether to throw in the towel, 7...8...9..10 it doesn't matter though as Minka is counted out anyway!

Winner Kira Kosarin KO Round 7

After:
Another stunning knockout from Kira, who knows she was in a fight tonight as she raises her right fist into the air, showing off the bloody glove that sent down Minka for the count.

The ringside doctor checks on Minka, looking to stop the blood coming from her nose; when it does stop, the doctor tells Claudia they'd like to check Minka's nose in the medic area in the back.

Helping Minka up to her feet, Claudia and the doctor help her out the ring, her fans cheer her as she heads up the aisle, a towel full of ice given to her to numb the pain in her nose.

It looks like Minka fighting twice in forty eight hours has been too much for her, Arielle Kebbel is probably smiling at home watching this after taking her own beating by the hands of Minka.

Inside the ring Kira gets her gloves taken off, waving and blowing kisses to some of the people in the front row nearest to her.

Then she heads to the center of the ring, Kira getting her hand raised to a loud roar from her supporters, she jumps up and down happy to have stopped Minka again.

As she leaves the ring, Kira takes photos with some people in the crowd, even giving some guys a kiss on the cheek as she jokes "well it is Christmas" before she heads up the aisle.

Nadia telling her "2020 is gonna be your year honey" Kira smiling as she tells Nadia that she will make sure it is, heading to the locker room looking forwards to the future.

(Foxfire Boxing vs Lioness Club of America)

Intro:
The main event of this months Fight Night Live card in Madison Square Garden sees the third chapter of the Hayden Panettiere and Jessica Lowndes feud, who will take the lead in this rivalry?

Hayden is 30 years old; she stands 5'1 ½, holding a record of 74 wins, 57 coming by way of knockout, 36 defeats, with 1 draw, she is a former three time FCBA flyweight champion, also a Tractorpull Hall of Fame member.

Jessica is 31 years old; she stands 5'4, she holds a record of 40 wins, 39 coming by way of knockout, 22 defeats with 1 draw, she is a former FCBA flyweight champion and a former FCBA JMD champion.

As said these two have fought twice, the first was for the FCBA flyweight title in 2015, Jessica defended the title with a ninth round knockout in a classic fight.

Two years later Hayden got her chance at revenge, getting a technical knockout win over Jessica in the ninth round, with Hayden looking as proud that day as she did any of her three titles.

Stories have been that while both women publicly have spoken about a third fight, both have had apprehension about doing it, knowing how good their rival is, now they are ready to gear up and see who is simply the best between them.

At the press conference both fighters come up on stage waving to the press, the mood changes when they square up for the face off, an intense look on both faces as they stare each other down.

A few words are exchanged but they separate without an incident, heading over to their seats ready for the questions to come in from the press, most of the early ones about how they feel about fighting in Madison Square Garden, smiling as they both admit they can't wait to fight there.

Hayden is then the first given a chance to tell her feelings about the fight, she smiles as she says "I'll admit that Jessica might be the biggest test I have ever had in my career, she is a hell of a fighter"

That gets a grin from Jessica, with Hayden continuing by saying "but I feel after our last fight I know the key to beating her, I was able to push her past her limits and I will do that again"

Jessica nods along to that before she begins her reply, telling Hayden "I appreciate the respect you showed but let me remind you what happened in our first fight, I knocked you clean out, you needed a referee to stop the fight against me honey"

In response Hayden laughs at that part, Jessica continues "the fact is while I know you have all these accolades, I am better then you in all departments, I hit harder, got better footwork and the skills to punish you in that ring come fight night, I'll make you my bytch"

The expression of Hayden chances at the word bytch being used, she scowls at her rival before telling her "oh I wouldn't think like that if I were you, I am going to enjoy breaking you down physically and mentally, all the people who cheer you at the beginning will abandon you once they realise that you are no alpha, simply a c*** with a mouth that gets you more notice then you deserve"

Things deteriorating as they both stand slinging insults to each other, their management teams keeping them apart as they want to fight now, things calm down enough that they leave the stage with angry looks.

Fight night; Hayden is out first with coach Virginia Madsen, she bounces on her toes at the top of the aisle, her name being chanted as she grins, then heading down the aisle slapping the hands of fans in the front row.

The American is wearing a red sports bra with white trim, red trunks with a white waistband, red shoes with white laces white gloves, her blonde hair is up in a ponytail.

Climbing through the ropes into the ring, Hayden pumps her right fist into the air as she jogs to her corner, shadow boxing to warm up as Virginia talks to her.

Jessica is out now ahead of her coach Claudia Schiffer, heading down the aisle with a swagger to her step, certainly not lacking confidence tonight.

The Canadian is wearing her trademark turquoise sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, while her brunette hair is tied back into a braid.

Stepping through the ropes into the ring, Jessica does a lap inside the ring, passing by Hayden with a grin as she locks eyes with her opponent, finishing in her corner with Claudia telling her to finish this year strong.

As they come to the center of the ring, duelling chants ring out in the sold out arena, neither fighter seems focused on that though as they exchange a few words; none too friendly.

Swiping their gloves together, they look more keen to get started then any pleasantries, the referee nodding to the timekeeper to ring the bell to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
"Ding" coming out their corners with eyes locked onto each other, neither rushes their attacks to start, they show respect to each others abilities by looking for angles to strike.

The early going through seems to be mostly Jessica, Hayden struggling a bit to come to the inside, mostly blocking jabs as she bobs and weaves around the taller fighter.

A jab/right cross combo comes from Jessica as she seems to be growing the quicker of the two into this fight, forcing Hayden back with more punches coming around the guard of the blonde stunner.

But as she has Hayden near the ropes, Jessica misses with a left hook as Hayden ducks it, a counter right to the ribs comes in from Panettiere as she steps inside to start getting in her own combos.

That seems to be the match to light this one up, the fighters trading more shots in close range as Hayden opens up, their fans are chanting for them as the arena is electric.

At the bell the fighters shove apart with a scowl on their faces, referee ordering them a second time back to their corners, with them turning on their heels to do as told.

Round 2:
While the first round was a slow burner, both fighters come out firing more punches to start, doubling up their jabs as they seek to establish their range.

Jessica is able to knock back Hayden to the outside of the ring with a double jab/straight combination, taking the center of the ring for herself as she herds the American around the ring.

Feinting with a right though; Hayden swings a left to the cheek of Lowndes, then bullies her way to the inside so she can bash the boobs and body of the brunette, making her gasp out with a grimace.

Pushing back Hayden so she has room to work, Jessica works to try to keep the smaller woman back, landing some nice crisp shots to the top of Hayden's head to send it back.

Back comes Hayden though after parrying a right before landing an uppercut to get in close, making herself compact as she throws short sharp hooks to the ribs.

At the bell Hayden has Jessica on the ropes, there's a shove by the Lioness fighter that gets a mixed response from the crowd, the referee needed to keep the fighters apart as they exchange insults, showing how heated and important this fight is to them.

Round 3:
At the bell both women trade in close as Jessica looks to push back Hayden, they trade to the others body as Jessica grinds heads with her opponent.

Nudged back by Hayden, Jessica takes a right across the cheek, the Foxfire fighter bashes back Jessica onto the ropes, where Lowndes pulls her into front headlock.

After the referee breaks them apart, Jessica lands two punches into the face of Hayden, sweat flying off the head of the blonde as she is knocked backwards.

Momentum seeming to have swung again as Hayden retreats back towards the ropes, JESSICA COMES AT HER AND MISSES WITH A JAB, HAYDEN NUDGES HER BACK BEFORE LANDING AN OVERHAND RIGHT TO THE JAW OF JESSICA TO KNOCK HER DOWN!

"Come on!" Yells Hayden as she heads to a neutral corner, 1...2...3... Jessica nudges herself up a knee, 4....5... She is claiming she tripped but the referee isn't interested, 6...7...8.. Getting back up to her feet looking annoyed.

Coming back together to fight, Jessica isn't rushing to tangle, Hayden moving in to force the issue, taking several punches into her face as she tries to close the gap.

Ducking a straight Hayden is able to close the distance, she lands two lefts to the ribs, just missing with an uppercut as Jessica leans out the way.

The round ends with Jessica mouthing "f***" as she returns to her corner, Claudia telling her to forget this round as she wipes her fighter down.

Round 4:
As expected Hayden is looking to push the action, stepping side to side with a double jab aimed to test the distance between them, compared to Jessica's more defensive jab right now.

Slipping a right Hayden steps in with a right under the ribs of her opponent, landing an overhand left to the side of Jessica's head, knocking sweat off it as Jessica retreats back.

Covering up as Hayden keeps on her, Jessica taking several body shots as the blonde tries to open her guard up, making Jessica need to clinch up.

They are broken apart by the referee, realising she needs to fire back, Jessica starts throwing more punches while moving on her toes, both women landing head snapping shots.

Jessica starting to come on stronger in the late stages of the round, maybe Hayden is too keen to press the action, with stiff shots to the face keeping her back till the bell rings.

Returning to their corners with some swelling around their cheeks, the Foxfire corner looks more comfortable of the two, knowing they are ahead on the scorecards.

Round 5:
They both come out circling to start, slinging straight shots into the others body and mouth, with Jessica looking better right now then she has lately as her punches are keeping Hayden darting to the inside.

Hayden is able to dodge a right to her nose, landing a right to the cheek of Jessica, then a left smacks Lowndes across her mouth, causing blood to run from her bottom lip.

As Hayden looks to press the action, she steps into a left that lands onto her ear, an uppercut follows that snaps the blondes head back with sweat flying.

Following in with a jab/straight to the face of the blonde, Jessica starts to back up her rival, Hayden forced to cover up after taking a right across her jaw.

Bodying up to Panettiere as she has her on the ropes, Jessica is hammering in shots to the body of Hayden, aiming her punches just above the waistband to make Hayden wince.

The final moments sees Hayden nudge Jessica so she can start fighting back, the crowd standing as they get a classic flyweight exchange to watch, sweat flying off the fighters.

The round ends with the fighters needing to be separated by the referee after they both land a punch after the bell, neither corner looks happy with that as they accuse the opposition of being the one to blame for the afters.

Round 6:
Now they are in the second half of the fight; neither is holding back much, both wanting to bash their rival back, leading to a heated exchange to start things off.

A right across the cheek of Hayden leads her to retreat back, Jessica tries to follow but it seems to have been a trap, Hayden dips down as she lunges in with a right into the abs of the Canadian to make her groan.

Two follow up hooks to the body allow Hayden to start backing up Jessica, who ends up clinching up when her back touches the ropes, referee on hand again to break them up.

When they resume Jessica rifles in a double jab to the nose of the blonde, sidestepping an attempted straight to the body, landing a right across the brow of Panettiere.

Now it is Hayden driven to the outside of the ring, covering up as Jessica opens up on her, most landing on the gloves or the forearm of Hayden though.

At the bell this time there is no incident, instead they save their energy and just return to their corners to get cleaned up, the Foxfire corner looking a little more worried after a great start, things have evened out in the past few rounds.

Round 7:
Trying to stay in close to Jessica, Hayden is feinting to try to create openings, Jessica is wise enough it though as she lands a right across the cheek.

Keeping back Hayden to the outside of the ring, rifling more punches through the mitts of the American, knocking back the head of Hayden seems to be making Jessica grin.

Parrying a right allows Hayden to come back at her rival, pounding the body of the taller fighter, whose groaning out as she is driven into a corner.

Pushing back Hayden, Jessica gets out of the corner and back into the center of the ring, both women letting their hands go as they come in closer, sweat flies off them as they slug it out.

Stepping in with a left forearm across the tits of Hayden, Jessica pounds two rights into the ear of the blonde, who is knocked into the ropes, where Jessica lands three more punches to the head of Panettiere.

The round ends with Hayden staring at the canvas looking like she wants to scream, Virginia needing to wash her down as blood runs down her nose from a cut on the bridge.

Across the ring Jessica takes a deep breath, Claudia telling her "you are turning this fight around, keep this up and you'll have your hand raised!" Jessica banging her gloves together as she nods at her coach.

Round 8:
They are still trading hard shots to begin with, neither holding much back as they try to take control of the fight, Hayden stepping to the inside to work the body.

A double jab though knocks back Hayden, she takes a right across her nose to make her cry out as more blood runs from the cut.

As they fight it out at the center of the ring, Jessica catching Hayden more freely now as she throws piston like punches straight into the face of the blonde actress.

Sidestepping an attempted right hook by Hayden, JESSICA COUNTERS WITH A LEFT TO THE TEMPLE OF HAYDEN, WHO WOBBLES A STEP BEFORE AN UPPERCUT SMACKS BACK THE HEAD, HAYDEN GOES TO HER BACK WITH HER GUMSHIELD COMING OUT!

Pounding her chest with her right fist, Jessica looking pound of herself as she heads to a neutral corner, 1...2...3...4... Hayden is blinking but not moving much, 5...6...7... She turns slowly to her right side, 8...9...10 where she lays till she is counted out!

Winner Jessica Lowndes KO Round 8

After:
Leaning on the turnbuckles, Jessica raises her fists into the air as she yells "yes!" As Claudia climbs into the ring, the coach embracing her fighter as they both look ecstatic.

While Hayden gets checked on by Virginia, smelling salts placed under her nose to fully bring her around, with Hayden sitting up rubbing her jaw with her right glove.

"How did that feel?" Mockingly asks Jessica as she comes over to Hayden, standing hands on her hips with a cocky grin, Hayden staring angrily up at Jessica.

Virginia tells Jessica to go f*** herself, with Jessica tossing her gloves off onto Hayden, then struts off to her corner to get cleaned up.

Hayden punches the canvas, telling Virigina to help her out the ring, with the Foxfire crew looking red faced at the lack of respect from their opposite numbers.

In the ring Jessica and Claudia laugh as the referee brings the gloves over to them, Jessica thanking them before she steps out the ring to toss them into the front row of the crowd.

Getting back inside so she can get her hand raised by the referee, who looks annoyed at her, with the Lowndes supporters chanting her name.

Jogging around the ring with her arms in the air, Jessica enjoying the crowd's love, before she heads up the ramp with Claudia beside her, the two Lionesses chatting with big smiles, Jessica taking the lead in the feud, this doesn't seem like it will be the last time though they fight.

Thanks for another wonderful event, Girls Friday!
