(Foxfire Boxing vs Girls Friday)

Intro:
A first time clash between two former champions, Rachel McAdams and Kaya Scodelario fight it out tonight as both want to stay in the hunt for a title shot in the early part of this year if possible.

Rachel is 41 years old; she stands 5'4, holding a record of 55 wins, 33 by knockout, 41 defeats with 1 draw, she is a former four time FCBA bantamweight champion.

Kaya is 27 years old; she stands 5'6, holding a record of 38 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with 9 defeats, she is a former FCBA bantamweight champion.

Surprisingly these two have been swimming around the same pool at the top end of the bantamweight division for awhile, this will be the first time they have interacted with each other, making people wonder what will happen.

They were asked at their gyms about this bout, Rachel finishing up her session but looking great still in a black sports bra and tight black yoga style joggers, black trainers on, a sheen of sweat on her as she wipes her brow with a towel.

When asked for her opinion on this fight by journalists, Rachel smiles as she says "it took her long enough to come find me, I remember when she used to hang around the Pretty Little Punchers gym and when she used to mess with my former stablemate Willa (Holland) she had plenty of chances to come see me for a workout then"

She is asked by one of the press what she is getting at, Rachel laughs before answering "my point is I saw the looks she gave me when I used to go visit the PLP's for meetings to do with fights, I know she wanted to test me then but didn't have the guts to come over to me, hell I'd have given her a taste of my skills in the PLP's ring if she wanted, I am not afraid of the heels coming off and either gloves on or off; her choice"

Rachel takes a drink of water from a bottle handed to her by the youngster of the Foxfire stable Bailee Madison, thanking her before turning back to the journalists.

"I guess Kaya thinks I am too old now and easy pickings, ask the girls in here who have the pleasure of sparring with me, how about the ones I am beating today in that ring, Kaya is going to get a rude awakening if she feels I am easy to beat" says the fired up Canadian as she heads off to the locker room to shower.

In the Girls Friday gym, Kaya is finishing up working over a punch bag, wearing a dark blue sports bra with matching trunks, shoes and gloves, she stops when Lauren Berlingeri calls time, getting a drink before getting a chance to give her statement to the press.

"Hey guys, so let me guess you want to know why I want Rachel? The honest answer is I looked who I hadn't beaten in the past and she was the one my stable thought they could get a fight with" Kaya answering a question on the journalists minds it seems without a word from them.

She is asked about what Rachel said about their somewhat history, Kaya laughs as she replies "Rachel honestly said that? If I knew that trust me I'd have taken up her offer, you used to sometimes televise big sparring sessions right in the FCBA, you'd have paid big money trust me to see me knock her around the Pretty Punchers ring"

"Let me give you the full facts of the matter, I won't pretend I've ever liked Rachel, I have seen she believes the hype she created over a decade ago, fact is that Rachel isn't the one I am facing, I know that and deep down she does, it's why I never bothered with her till now, she is a tick over fight for me till I get my chance to right the wrong from last year, the bantamweight title will be back with me before this year is over" Kaya says with a stern tone.

Things would spill over at the weigh in, with both coming in easily under the weight limit, when they squared up for the photos in bikinis (a skimpy red bikini for Rachel, a black one for Kaya) the gloves were off as they exchanged viewpoints in less then flattering terms.

That turned into shoves from both before the inevitable hair pulling contest, leading to them catballing on the floor of the stage, several of their stablemates weighing in were cheering them on as security with their management teams had to rush in to pull them apart, eyes locked in nasty stares as clearly this has become deeply personal to them both.

Fight night; Rachel heads out first with her coach Virginia Madsen beside her, Virginia looks to be telling Rachel to keep her composure as they are deep in discussions down the aisle.

Rachel is wearing a red sports bra with white trim, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves, while her hair is tied back into a fighting ponytail.

Getting inside the ring; Rachel bows to each side of the ring, then moves over to her corner while her eyes are locked onto the aisle, where she keeps them as she goes through her warm up routine.

Out comes Kaya now with Taryn Terrell and cut woman Eva Carneiro, she is looking all business too as she leads them down the aisle towards the ring.

Kaya is wearing a black sports bra, black and white chequered trunks, black shoes, white gloves and her hair is also in a ponytail.

Stepping inside the squared circle; Kaya mounts the bottom ropes of her corner, flexing her arms as she shouts "I'm going to put this old cow out to pasture!" To cheers from her fans and loud boos from Rachel's fan base.

When the fighters come to the center of the ring, the tension can be felt out at ringside as the two fighters have the referee standing between them, Rachel saying "I'm going to enjoy this ass kicking you've had coming bytch" Kaya just cockily smirks back, clearly not believing Rachel is the one to give it to her.

Neither bumps gloves with the other when ordered to, instead they turn back to their corners with the crowd roaring, looking forwards to what could be a hell of a fight, the bell rings soon enough to begin 10 rounds of bantamweight action.

Round 1:
They come out with tight guards as they move to fight, those guards loosen considerably though when they get into range, lashing out with straight shots as they move around the center of the ring.

It's Kaya who lands the first meaningful combo, stepping back out the way of a left cross, landing her own jab/right cross combo to the face of the veteran, who takes a step back to reset.

But Kaya steps inside to land two hooks to the body, just missing with a right hook as Rachel leans out the way, then gives a shove to Scodelario to force her backwards.

While Rachel is fighting gamely in the opening half of the round, Kaya's extra height and reach is allowing her to beat Rachel to the punch more often then not.

Realizing that she needs to change things up, McAdams starts to feint more to lure Kaya into traps, the younger fighter stepping in to land cross punches instead finds thin air, Rachel dipping down to go to work on the body of Kaya.

She just misses with an overhand right with thirty seconds to go, Kaya countering with a jab/straight combo smacking the face of the veteran to back her up a step.

The round ends with both women glaring as they pass each other to return to their corners, the GF corner seems the happier of the two, though they are still telling Kaya to tighten up on her guard when she is shipping punches.

Round 2:
This time Rachel seems to have a different plan, relying more on feints to find openings, she is landing more cleanly now as Kaya is falling into traps set by the more experienced woman.

Kaya is looking frustrated when she eats a double jab onto her lips, she is still landing some meaty punches, but she is clearly starting to over think things.

It looks like Rachel is starting to get into her head, feinting punches up top before swinging downstairs near the waistband of Kaya's trunks, then the opposite and at times no feints at all coming.

Making it hard for Kaya to read what is coming, leading to her hesitating pulling the trigger this time, Rachel punishing her with a left hook to her jaw, followed by two more straight punches to send Kaya back into the ropes.

Where Rachel goes to work as Kaya covers up, the McAdam's fans are roaring as they see their girl bashing around Kaya, rolling back the years as Kaya is needing to tighten her guard to try to block as many punches as she can.

The bell ends a dominant round for Rachel, who jogs back to her corner to be met with a smiling Virginia, who massages her shoulders as she tells her "great round kid, she's been playing with the small fish too long to not realise skill when she sees it" Rachel just grins in reply.

Round 3:
Normally it seems Kaya has good boxing IQ, Rachel though is confusing her right now, she keeps switching up what she is doing and it is making Kaya look a little timid.

A double jab to the abs of Kaya is followed by an overhand right already in the round, Rachel bashes back her opponent towards the ropes, with Kaya needing to nudge back Rachel so she can move away from there.

Maybe a little overconfidence by McAdams as she looks to step straight in with a left hook, Kaya leans back out the way, countering with a right across the jaw of the Canadian as a wake up call of sorts to stick to what's working.

Rachel goes back to feinting, but as the round is entering it's final minute, it looks like Kaya is starting to pick up hints from the veteran, catching her more often coming at her.

As the round enters the final thirty seconds, a beautifully timed jab/right cross/left hook combo has Kaya knocked back into a corner as sweat flies off her head.

Rachel steps in to throw a barrage of punches at Kaya, who can only cover up and try to withstand this attack, most redden up the forearms of the Brit, some though find a home on the mouth of Kaya.

The round ends with Rachel jogging back to her corner smiling, she looks well into her groove now as she stays standing in her corner, just wanting to get out for more action.

In the Girls Friday corner, Taryn is telling Kaya to be smarter, she is too busy trying to predict when punches are coming that she is missing the actual ones that do come.

Round 4:
While the opening of the round sees Rachel come out stinging the cheeks of Kaya with stiff shots, it is Kaya who lands the first big punch of the round, an overhand right smacks the ear of Rachel to make her step to the side shaking her head.

It looks like Kaya isn't interested in playing her opponents game, more focused now on smashing her face in, the fighters lay some nasty hooks in that turns heads around.

Sweat flies into the air when they both stand to trade, neither looks to be getting the better so far, each seems as tough and powerful as the other in these head to head clashes.

But a missed right cross by Rachel leaves her open to a left to her ribs, an uppercut pushes her back to her heels as some sweat comes down like mist after being knocked off Rachel.

Who finds herself bullied to a corner, Kaya swinging away at her ribs and body, it looks like Rachel is being mauled till she can pull Kaya into a front headlock, forcing the referee to step in to break them apart.

Several insults are exchanged over the headlock, with Kaya now the one overly keen, being made to pay by a sidestepping McAdams with a right across her cheek.

The bell rings as Rachel is about to throw an uppercut, just stopping in time as the fighter exchange taunts, the referee needing to nudge them back to their corners, where now they both stand waiting to get back at each other.

Round 5:
Both start off quickly this round, nearly clashing heads a few times as they move in at the same time to land big shots, the referee warning them to watch their heads.

Rachel digs a left/right into the abs of Kaya as she moves into the pocket, just missing with an uppercut as the Brit leans her chin out the way in the nick of time.

But it gives an opening to Rachel to bully back Kaya, using sneaky left forearms to bump back the younger woman, Rachel then slashes in rights up top, leading to a cut on the bottom lip of Kaya.

Which Rachel focuses on when they exchange shots, Kaya forced to retreat back each time as she is wincing each time her lip is hit cleanly.

A minute to go in the round, Kaya slips a straight to her lips, taking it on her shoulder instead, a right though from Kaya lands near the hip of McAdams, who grunts out before a left smacks her under her ribs.

An uppercut to the body bends Rachel into another, a spiteful left to the kidneys of the Canadian is met with the bell ending the round, Rachel shoving back Kaya who was gloating over her, the referee shoving them apart as they come close to resuming fighting.

Heading back to their corners, there is a more noticeable heavy breathing to Rachel, Virginia icing her body as they seem happy enough with the round, just how it ended has given them a little worry it seems.

Round 6:
Rachel seems to be throwing more jabs, directly aimed at the cut lip of Kaya, most miss though as Kaya is moving her upper body more to dodge and get in closer.

Where she lands a right into the stomach of Rachel, who bellows out and starts swinging back, the issue for her though is Kaya has her head down and is working piston like at the stomach of Rachel.

She manages to nudge back Kaya, a right though is easily blocked by Kaya, WHO HAMMERS IN A RIGHT UPPERCUT TO THE BODY OF RACHEL AGAIN, WHO TUMBLES DOWN TO ALL FOURS!

Kaya's fans are roaring as she shouts "f***ing come on!" Jogging over to a neutral corner, 1...2...3... Rachel spits out her gumshield as she is sucking in air, 4...5...6...7.. Rachel rubs her stomach as she sits on her haunches looking over at her corner, 8... Shaking her head 9...10 McAdams is done for tonight!

Winner Kaya Scodelario KO Round 6

After:
Another massive name on the win record of Kaya, who slips her gloves off quickly and puts them in the neutral corner, she has something clearly in mind as she marches over to Rachel, spitting out her gumshield at the tits of the kneeling woman.

Lifting her up by her hair, Kaya says "you owe me a walk bytch, just as a reminder for you of whose the better fighter" finishing dragging Rachel to her feet, Kaya puts her arm around her waist as she takes Rachel on a walk of shame.

Rachel though is defiant, telling Kaya "you won tonight bytch but next time we lock horns, you're mine you f***ing cow" Kaya just smirks at her, asking "sure you want to say that, I can make you crawl nude like a dog around the ring instead, don't think I won't"

Maybe thinking better of herself, Rachel shuts up and stares at the crowd, who are mostly cheering for Kaya right now, who whispers "see how quickly they forget you, I'm the woman you'll lead this division this decade, you can watch from your chair at home as I own your stables fighters" making Rachel grit her teeth.

When the lap finishes, it looks like Kaya will hand off Rachel to Virginia, instead as they face each other, Kaya rams a knee into the belly of Rachel to make her collapse to the canvas, holding her stomach as Virginia yells at her to f*** off!

Some boos ring out now as Kaya shrugs her shoulders and heads back to her corner, Taryn just smiles at her, while Eva doesn't look too happy with the way Kaya has been acting lately.

"Cheer up Eva, it could have been you facing me tonight" jokes Kaya as Eva is seen gulping, Taryn laughs as Kaya gives Eva a big hug to show her she is only messing with her.

While Virginia has seen enough, helping Rachel out the ring and up the aisle, understandably they look pissed off how things turned out tonight, maybe not the smartest thing for Kaya to do with the Foxfire big hitters ready to come for her it seems after tonight.

Back in the ring; Kaya gets her hand raised, she bows to the crowd as they give her a mixed response, she just can't help smiling though making it seem like she doesn't care what they think about her.

Leaving the ring with Taryn and Eva, Kaya will be wanting another big year, can she make a big dent though in a very crowded division that seems to be getting stronger every year.
