Intro:
"The Boss" Sasha Banks takes on "Fearless" Nikki Bella here at Boxermania Four, both are known to think highly to themselves, which has led to several arguments before this fight.

They have had a run in at the open workout for this event, Sasha Banks sparred with her best friend Bayley for the cameras, when they finished they both laughed as they saw Nikki and Brie Bella getting ready for their time in the ring.

The video shows Sasha and Bayley taunting the Bella's as being has beens, making Nikki fire back "honey no matter how much you whine about hard done by, you'll never be in my class" Sasha looks upset at that comment, stepping out the ring with Bayley behind her.

A few security guards stay between the two groups, Sasha yelling at Nikki "Nikki you are simply a dirty w*** that f***ed your way into a reality show!" Making Nikki toss her right glove into the face of Banks.

Security has trouble on their hands as the crowd watching yell to let them fight, but Sasha and Bayley look at them before laughing, Sasha gives them the classic middle finger, then heads off to the lockers to change.

Before the fight Alicia Atout speaks to Sasha in her locker room, she sees Sasha working the punch pads with her coach, Sasha waving to Alicia to come in.

"Finally I get closer to the main event of these events, I am the Boss dammit, I have been working my ass off to be the best and the era of the Bella's is dead because of people like me" says Sasha with fire in her voice.

Putting on her "Boss" sunglasses, Sasha tells Alicia "tonight I make it clear to Nikki that she doesn't run anything anymore, this is Boss country" badging past Alicia as she heads out.

When Alicia heads into the Bella's locker room, she finds Nikki is stretching as Brie points out to her "see that Alicia? Nikki is ready to show the world why you don't look down on us"

Nikki smiling as she finishes her warm up, telling Alicia "so Sasha thinks she can disrespect me, she does that stupid boss move as she calls it, she acts as if she deserves to be the star around here, I guess I need to show her where line starts, behind me" Nikki then puts on her baseball cap backwards and heads off to the ring.

Fighting time; out comes Sasha in a red low rider sitting in the back, she jumps out the back and poses at the top of the aisle, showing off her rings with the Boss on before heading off down to the ring.

Dropping off her glasses and her purple jacket, Sasha is wearing a purple sports bra with silver trim, purple trunks with silver flames up the sides, purple shoes and gloves, her purple hair is tied back into a ponytail.

She poses in her corner with her hands on her hips, shouting "bow down to the boss you bytches!" Getting booed by the crowd as she puts her arms out to the sides.

Nikki now comes out to a cheer, she struts down the aisle as sparklers run up the side of the aisle, Nikki walking through them with her arms in the air.

Getting her Fearless cap and hat off, Nikki is wearing a red sports bra with "Fearless" written across the front in white, red trunks with white trim, black shoes, red gloves and her brunette hair tied back into a ponytail.

Posing at the center of the ring with her arms out at her sides, Nikki exchanges a few insults with Sasha, referee Aubrey Edwards stepping in front of Nikki to stop the fight kicking off early.

When things calm down, the announcements are made with Justin Roberts yelling "first to my right, she comes from Fairfield, California, she is 28 years old, standing 5'6 and weighing in at 114lbs, her record is 3 wins, all by way of knockout, with 1 defeat, she is the Bossss!! Sasha Banks!" Sasha bangs her gloves together as she shows off her purple gumshield with "Boss" written on it in gold letters.

"Across the ring coming to us from San Diego, California, she is 36 years old, standing 5'6 and weighing in at 118lbs, her record is 8 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with 6 defeats, Nikki Bella!" Nikki raises her hands in the air as her name is called out, a confident smile on her face as she stares daggers at Sasha.

The fighters come to the center of the ring, Aubrey has her hands full stopping the two jaw jacking rivals getting to one another, threats being exchanged as there is certainly no love lost here.

When they are told to touch gloves, they simply shake their heads and return to their corners, Aubrey shrugging her shoulders before waving for the bell to begin 10 rounds of bantamweight action.

Round 1:
At the bell they both come out their corners letting their hands go at the center of the ring, the opening thirty seconds is both just planting their feet, while scruffily throwing punches into mostly either forearm or gloves of their opponent.

Separating when they realise how little the success they are having is; they reset their stances, throwing more jabs as they look to outbox their rival.

It's Sasha who looks to have come out the blocks quicker, she ducks a right to counter with a left to the body, an overhand right then lands to the cheek of Nikki.

Sasha looks the faster fighter, taking mostly jabs around the top of her head, she is moving her head out the way of the bigger punches before landing some sweet counter punches.

A straight misses by Bella, Banks landing a left/right hooks to the body combo, with an uppercut knocking back Nikki to her heels.

When the round comes to an end, it's Sasha who is looking relaxed as she sits on her stool, a great round for the younger woman as Nikki can be seen cursing herself.

Round 2:
It looks like Nikki wants to show Sasha who really is the boss early on; feinting with a right straight, instead she lands a left cross to the cheek, then a straight to the abs of Banks.

Looking like she has the power advantage, Nikki is trying to make this more a slugfest by getting in tighter to Sasha, forcing the purple haired fighter to plant her feet to trade with the fearless one.

Maybe realising what is happening, Sasha uses a left forearm to the jugs of her opponent, creating space for her to use to land two cross punches up top, moving away when a right hook comes towards her face.

Sasha begins to regain control of where the fight is fought, keeping Nikki to the outside with some beautiful jabs to her face, knocking back the head of Bella.

A missed jab by Sasha though allows Nikki to smack her to the side of her head with a right hook, a left buries itself into her abs as Nikki begins to put her punches together.

Forcing Sasha to the outside of the ring, with not as much room to move, Sasha is forced into exchanging more power punches with Nikki, something she doesn't look happy about as her head is getting knocked back more of the two.

At the end of the round Nikki gets a loud cheer from her fans, she grins as she returns to her corner, her coach telling her to keep pressing Banks till she gets the pay off.

Round 3:
They start off trading more combinations this round, Sasha looking to establish her place in the ring, landing a jab/straight up top before dipping under a left cross to land another two punches to the body.

Nikki finds herself now pressed back towards the ropes, where Sasha is happy to have her, the purple haired fighter is darting inside to land, when the heat gets too great she slips a punch before moving to the outside.

The speed and movement of Sasha looks on point tonight, she is mostly slipping punches with her freedom, landing beautiful counter shots that has Nikki thinking harder about her punches.

As the round heads into it's final minute, Sasha maybe is becoming a little too predictable though, she tries darting in with a left to the body, instead she eats a straight to the top of her head.

The follow up left hook to the side has her retreating back, Nikki not much behind her as the reality star lands a straight into the face of Banks to send her head back.

Sasha finding herself stuck across the ring near the ropes behind her guard, where a rampant Nikki has her up until the bell not long after.

It was a great round for Sasha, she looks annoyed by how the round come to a close though as she talks to her coach, who is telling her where she went wrong.

Round 4:
Again Sasha looks to be aggressive early on, work Nikki back so she can take the center of the ring, instead though Nikki meets her nearly literally head on as they just about miss a clash of heads.

Using her own left forearm into the boobs of Sasha, Nikki is able to nudge back Banks onto her heels, then rifles in two rights to the abs of her rival to make her groan out.

Sasha lands a nice two cross combo up top, when she seeks a left hook to the retreating Nikki, she misses as the Bella twin ducks down then lands another right to the body.

Maybe Nikki has changed tactics herself or taken advice from her coach, she is targeting the body of Sasha more, trying to sap her energy and stop the troublesome movement of Banks.

Who grits her gumshield each time she is hit, Sasha finds herself back near the dreaded ropes, making her plant her feet again to slug it out with Nikki.

Only in the dying seconds of the round is Sasha able to duck down and come up with an overhand left into the ear of Nikki, she unloads a left/right/left straight into the face of her opponent to knock her back to the center of the ring.

The bell rings to end the round with both fighters looking up for this as they return to their corners, the crowd cheering loudly as they are getting another two close to call fight by the looks of the action so far.

Round 5:
Bouncing on their toes before the bell rings, once it does both charge out their corners, they circle while trading stiff jabs to faces, Sasha continues to be the more flexible in her upper body as she looks for different angles to strike from.

When Nikki tries to step in with a left cross, Sasha side steps her before landing a right into the cheek of Nikki, a left follows into the hip to make the Bella twin grunt out loudly.

Sasha then surprises Nikki by dipping down to go to work on the body with some meaty hooks, she is slowly driving Nikki back with the flurry, till Nikki is able to shove her backwards.

The next time Sasha tries to dive inside, she is too keen for her own good, Nikki spotting the attack coming, uses her double jab to the top of the Bosses head to keep her back.

Nikki starts to get some rhythm going again, slamming more jabs to the top of Sasha's head, sending sweat flying as she moves forwards with each punch that lands.

Maybe she loads back too far with her right though, Sasha quick to slip a straight aimed at her nose, counters with a left into the ear of Bella, moving away from the ropes to the relief of her coach.

It's Banks who looks strong in the final moments of the round, being too elusive for Nikki up till the round comes to a close, Sasha smiling as she returns to her corner feeling she has a measure of her rival.

Round 6:
Coming out their corners with a nod to each other, there seems to be some respect forming for the other, Sasha though is the one out the gates the faster.

She slips a jab so she can counter with a right near the waistline of Bella's trunks, Sasha starting to throw more punches dangerously close to that waistline, it is hurting Nikki though judging by the face of the brunette.

Who does land a crisp jab/straight to the face of Sasha as she comes in again, Nikki follows with a left across the face of Banks to allow her to start working her back into a corner.

Smartly before she gets pinned down; Sasha clinches up, they grind heads in the clinch as Aubrey has to step in to physically separate them herself.

Once they are apart, Sasha moves into space to have freedom to work, straight away she slips a right to land an uppercut that knocks Nikki onto her heels.

Sasha must smell blood as she throws several uppercuts, most though find the gloves or arms of the defending Nikki, who retreats back as she looks to reset herself.

When the round comes to an end, it is another strong round for the Boss, who stays standing in her corner as she looks over at Nikki, a grin forming on her marked up face as she sees Nikki's coaches try to reduce the swelling around her cheeks.

Round 7:
Sasha looks to keep the tempo up, moving side to side as she jabs and throws straights into the cheeks of Nikki, sending sweat into the air.

A straight misses though as Nikki times it coming in; deflecting it with her left, she lands an uppercut that knocks back Sasha onto her heels.

Suddenly Sasha is finding herself getting bashed back by an angry Nikki, four punches land cleanly to her face as she is pounded onto the ropes, needing to clinch up to slow down Nikki's assault.

Aubrey breaks them apart so they can continue, Nikki quick to stay on Sasha with a left across her face, a straight hammers Banks in her mouth as back goes the younger fighter.

Sasha trying hard to match Nikki in these hard fought exchanges, the veterans little tricks of shoulder bumps and her forearms to boobs are giving Banks trouble though.

Especially late in the round when she eats a left hook/right uppercut combo to her chin, Sasha is sent back into a corner, where she has to cover up as Nikki comes looking to go to town on her.

Most of the punches are blocked, the ones that get through send Sasha's head back and sweat flying, the bell rings to end the round with Sasha looking to the heavens wondering what happened there.

Nikki has her corner team almost jumping for joy, after seeing her subdued these past two rounds, they are glad to see she hasn't given up this fight by a long shot.

Round 8:
Trying to get back onto her bike as she moves around Nikki, Sasha is bobbing and weaving as she targets the body of her opponent with jabs and straights.

When Sasha looks comfortable, Nikki shocks her with a left to her ear, followed by another uppercut to her chin, this time Sasha looks a little spaghetti legged as she goes backwards.

It seems like Nikki's uppercut just can't miss now, ANOTHER ONE KNOCKS SASHA'S HEAD BACK, WITH TWO HOOKS HAMMERING ACROSS THE FACE OF THE BOSS TO SEND HER GUMSHIELD FLYING, WHILE SHE TUMBLES TO HER BACK!

The chants for Nikki ring out as she raises her fists into the air, 1...2...3...4.. Sasha is groaning but not moving from her spread eagle position, 5...6...7.. When she does start stirring, 8...9.. It's to grab for her gumshield as 10 she is out of it!

Winner Nikki Bella KO Round 8

After:
Nikki with a big statement knockout win tonight, she marches over to Sasha and yells "now do you understand why I am a great! I'm more talented then you'll ever be bytch!" Her fans chanting her name.

Tossing her gloves over to Aubrey, Nikki pulls Sasha up by her hair and has her up to her feet, needing to act like a crutch for the beaten woman, Nikki takes Sasha on a walk of shame for the crowd to see her conquered foe.

Sasha is coming fully around as she looks at Nikki; then the crowd, before screaming "you f***ing bytch!! You were f***ing lucky I didn't knock your ass out cold" Nikki needing to turn away from the screeching into her ear.

Deciding she has had enough, Nikki grabs Sasha by her trunks and hair, tossing Sasha out the ring through the middle ropes to the apron then in front of the judges has the Bella supporters cheering, while the Banks ones boo what they see is excessive force.

The judges certainly look surprised as they all stand up, letting Sasha's coaches help her off the table, helping her to the back as she looks back angrily at Nikki, who just waves her off with a grin.

Aubrey hands Nikki her gloves back before raising the winners right hand, Nikki grinning like a Cheshire cat as she holds her gloves up in her left hand.

Stepping out the ring, Nikki hands her gloves off to a young fan at ringside, taking a few selfies with others as she celebrates with her fans, showing that she is far from finished tonight in an FCBA ring certainly seems to have given her some energy, even after a gruelling eight rounder.

Nikki then heads up the aisle with her coaching staff, stopping to blow kisses to the crowd as she turns back to them, wiping a tear of joy away as she may have answered some doubts she was having tonight with this win.
