(Foxfire Boxing vs Girls Friday)

Intro:
For the third time in their careers, former FCBA lightweight champions Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Alessandra Ambrosio go to war in the ring.

Mary is 35 years old; she stands 5'8, holding a record of 66 wins, 60 coming by way of knockout, with 48 defeats, she is a former three time FCBA lightweight champion.

Alessandra is 39 years old; she stands 5'9 ½, holding a record of 43 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with 13 defeats, she is the current BBU lightweight champion and a former FCBA lightweight champion.

As stated these two have fought twice before, back in 2018 Mary knocked out Alessandra in the seventh round in a body saddle bout.

One year later though Alessandra would even things up with an ninth round knockout, that was to win the FCBA lightweight title and become the first ever FCBA/BBU dual champion.

Over the course of the build up, both women have made it known that they are desperate to take this rubber match, with Alessandra maybe more with talk of her future, Mary hasn't won a fight in the FCBA this year yet shockingly.

The pair came onto the FCBA network set for the face off, Mary wearing a red dress and heels, Alessandra wears a silver dress and heels as they step onto the set, smirking as they go nose to nose for the cameras.

After the host Lucy Liu asks both ladies to take a seat, they separate to sit on stools that are facing each other with a safe distance between them.

Mary is the first one to speak, telling Alessandra "you know I am always excited to fight you, all the models in the lightweight division are fun to go at but you certainly come to fight honey" making Alessandra grin.

"I can certainly say the same about you, you're truly one of the greats in this division, I love getting it on with you too" admits Alessandra as the respect is on show.

Till Mary adds "now that is out the way, let's get down to what we really want to do, I am ready to remind you who is the best around here, sadly I haven't my saddle since you make one hell of a horse" the tension is beginning to show itself.

As Alessandra fires back "well I'm sorry I left my BBU title back at the hotel, you seem to forget which of us is the champion and who is getting her ass beat" with Mary grinning at that.

"As much as I respect you models, my favourite hobby in that ring is knocking you prancing bytches out on your pert behind" fires back the actress.

That seems to be an invitation for Alessandra to stand up, telling Mary "take a shot now then bytch" with both women kicking their heels off before launching at their rival.

Hands buried deep in hair as they try to tug the other to the ground, Lucy leaps up out her seat as they nearly crash into her, Lucy letting the women have a go at each other before security drags them apart.

Surprisingly both are smiling, even as their hair is a mess, they look excited to put the gloves on now to fight, they have to wait though as they are led off the set on opposite sides.

Fight night, Mary heads out with coach Rachel Nichols beside her, both are smiling as they walk down the aisle, Mary blowing kisses to her fans as she looks her usual bubbly self.

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

Stepping into the ring, Mary thuds her gloves together as she jogs to her corner, her expression changes to a more serious one as she bounces on her toes waiting for her opponent.

Who comes out with her coach and friend Gisele Bundchen beside her, Alessandra gives the crowd a few shakes of her hips as Gisele holds up the BBU title, that isn't on the line but she wants to prove a point to Mary it seems.

She is wearing a black sports bra with a gold "AA" badge on the left bra cup, black trunks and shoes, gold gloves with her hair tied up into a ponytail too.

Getting inside the ring and getting into her corner, Alessandra fist bumps Gisele before she turns back towards Mary, her expression is cold towards her opponent.

They come to the center of the ring, squaring up to each other as the referee goes through their final instructions, neither woman looks worried by what is in front of them.

Respectfully they bump gloves with their opponent, turning back to their corners with an all business look, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of lightweight action.

Round 1:
These two show respect for the other to start, throwing mostly jabs in the opening thirty seconds of the round, with the odd straight punch, seeing who can land the first big punch between them.

It is Winstead who tries with a left hook that Alessandra moves back out the way of, next Ambrosio goes for an uppercut that Mary leans out the way of.

Maybe getting sick of this feeling out process, Alessandra lands a double jab and keeps coming forwards to land a right cross to the cheek of the American beauty.

Trading in close to the delight of their fans, from a tame opening minute to a hard fought second, cross punches being mixed in with a steady diet of uppercuts.

Missing with a left cross leaves Mary open to a straight to her mouth, a left/right hook then digs into her ribs as Alessandra moves inside, beginning to force the actress to the ropes with a body punching drill that has Mary groaning.

The round comes to a close with Alessandra getting a nod from Gisele, who looks proud of her friend for pushing Mary around in the late part of the round to take the round.

Round 2:
Throwing more punches in volume as they meet at the ring center, Alessandra misses with a left hook as Mary dips down, then comes over the top with an overhand right to the cheek of the Brazilian.

This time it is Mary showing off her boxing skills, Alessandra maybe a little too aggressive, with Mary dodging most punches before countering with some nice overhand punches to scuff up the cheeks of the model.

Who does land a double jab to the top of Mary's head when the Foxfire fighter tries to dip down this time, Alessandra reading Mary's tactics better this time.

Leading to a more evenly fought second minute, heads get turned by some nice hooks when they move in closer, feet planted more so they can land with real power on those shots.

But Winstead switches things up again, stepping back out the way of a right hook, Alessandra left open to a jab/uppercut combo that sends her head backwards.

The final moments of the round sees Alessandra knocked into a corner, where she covers up as Mary throws a flurry of punches at her; most don't land clean, at the bell though they've helped Mary cement her first round on the board in many peoples eyes.

Round 3:
Stepping together to trade stiff jabs to start, Alessandra maybe learning not to throw her power punches too early, instead trying to get a sense for the gap between them before throwing her hooks.

Mary showing some nice defensive skills when those hooks come, blocking them with her gloves or arms, dipping under some before landing counter shots to the ribs of the Brazilian bombshell.

A feint left though makes Mary react though, she dips down into an uppercut that doesn't land flush, it gets Mary's attention though as she is knocked back a step.

Alessandra following up with a jab/straight to the face of Winstead, knocking her to the outside of the ring, where Alessandra can control the action better it seems.

Both land some stiff straights, Ambrosio though is keeping the pressure on, working harder to force the action as Mary is looking for ways to step away from having the ropes near her back.

A double jab to her abs, followed by a right cross to her cheek just before the bell rings has Mary cursing herself for getting caught there, Rachel telling her to keep focused and not get baited into a mistake.

Round 4:
Jogging out to meet Mary, Alessandra throws a jab/straight at the head of her opponent, who dodges backwards before throwing her own right to the body of Ambrosio.

Mary still looking sharp as she lands a crisp double jab to the body of Alessandra, dodging back when a right hook comes towards the top of her head.

After that first minute, Mary gets caught with a straight to her face as she moves forwards, Alessandra then lands a left hook as she applies the pressure again.

Bashing back Mary to the outside of the ring, Alessandra forces a fiery exchange between them, some sweat flies off their heads as they slam cross punches into reddened cheeks.

An overhand left smacks Mary into her cheek as Alessandra dips down now, taking a play out of Mary's book before adding an uppercut to send Mary back into the ropes.

Where Winstead is covering up as the final seconds tick away, when the round comes to an end, Ambrosio raises her right fist into the air as she feels she is getting the better of Mary, hard to argue after these past two rounds.

Round 5:
The look of frustration on Mary's face tells the story of the fight so far for her, she gets clipped early on by a left/right cross, Alessandra wanting to keep imposing her will on Winstead.

That leads to her missing with a right hook though when she has Mary near the ropes, instead it's Mary ducking under it, moving around Alessandra before using her left to nudge Alessandra against the ropes.

A shocked look on Alessandra's face is met with Mary's right across it, the wily Mary digging in several body shots as Alessandra covers up, the American showing off her smarts and strength to Ambrosio.

Who does swing by nice cross punches to the top of Mary's head, forcing them apart as Mary decides to take a step back, a rush of blood seems to make Alessandra come swinging in hooks at Mary.

With Mary deftly dodging the easy to read hooks, popping Alessandra to her mouth with a crisp double jab, landing an uppercut when Alessandra misses once more with a left hook.

Backed into a corner, Alessandra can only cover up as a barrage comes flying at her, the bell rings with Mary lifting her arms above her head, showing Alessandra she is here for the long haul.

Round 6:
Not to be deterred by the last round, Alessandra is looking to regain control of the action, both fighters landing crisp punches to the others cheeks, Mary's looking more puffy from the hard punches they've taken.

Mary though is the first to land a nice jab/right cross to the face of the model, a left cross sends sweat from the head of Ambrosio, Mary looking to pile the pressure on now her opponent.

She gets caught though with a left hook to her ear, that stops Mary long enough for Alessandra to pound in two uppercuts to the body as she squares right up to the Foxfire star.

Both trade on the inside as Mary tries to push back Alessandra, an uppercut on her chin though forces her back behind her gloves, allowing Alessandra to work her back into a corner with several clean lefts and rights burying themselves through her mitts.

Pulling Alessandra into surprisingly the first clinch of the fight, Mary looks happy to have the break with her back against a set of turnbuckles, they are grappling a little but waiting it seems to be broken apart.

When the resume, it is a heated toe to toe exchange that gets the crowd standing, sweat goes up into the air as they land some meaty bombs in the final ten seconds.

At the bell they give each other a cold stare, seeing the damage to their opponent's faces, with cheeks looking puffy on both fighters, their corners needing to reduce the swelling as the Foxfire corner looks the more worried of the two, knowing so far Mary has been behind the eight ball more often then not.

Round 7:
Moving around the ring center, Mary is looking for something to turn this fight around, Alessandra simply stalking her with ill intentions written across her face.

The model misses with a straight, Mary counters with an uppercut to the body, followed by a left hook under the ribs of Alessandra, it looks like that one hurt judging by the Brazilians expression.

Ducking another right cross, Mary pounds in another big right to the body, Alessandra gasps out as Mary keeps pounding that body, forcing Alessandra back into a corner.

Where she now needs to clinch Mary, the Winstead fans cheering their girl on louder, the referee needing to break the glistening fighters apart as they exchange a few words.

Mary quick to step after Alessandra, they exchange punches smack into the others faces, corners yelling at them with instructions, in all the noise Alessandra is heard crying out when a left hook buries itself under her ribs.

The body shots are certainly getting to her, Mary bashing her back with clean shots to those ribs, landing a right hook to the jaw of the BBU champ to wobble her!

The round comes to a close with a dominant display from Mary, who tells Alessandra "you are f***ed now!" Alessandra shaking her head as she returns to her corner, she is breathing heavier as she sits on her stool.

Round 8:
It seems like Alessandra isn't as keen to charge out at Mary, throwing more jabs while trying to move side to side, problem is her feet look heavy as she still looks winded.

Allowing Mary to duck under a jab so she can pound in an uppercut to the body, Alessandra bends forwards as TWO MORE UPPERCUTS LAND, THE FINAL ONE SEEMED TO HIT HER IN THE LIVER AS AMBROSIO FALLS TO ALL FOURS!

"Yes!" Mary screams as she looks around at her fans standing cheering her, getting nudged to a neutral corner as she looks lost in the excitement of finally getting Alessandra down.

1....2...3... Alessandra spits her gumshield out before rolling to her right side, 4...5...6.. She can be heard sucking in air as tears run down her cheeks, 7...8... The fight seems drained out of her, 9...10 it is all over!

Winner Mary Elizabeth Winstead KO Round 8

After:
Another hard fought win for the legendary Mary, she looks up to the heavens with a big smile, knowing she had to pull this win out the back after having a hard time through the middle rounds.

Heading back to her corner, Mary is patted on her back from each of her corner crew, Rachel telling her "that's what I love to see, you didn't have to make it so hard though" winking at Mary as they all laugh.

Someone certainly not laughing is Alessandra, who is slowly helped to her feet by Gisele, she is holding her stomach as she is helped over to her stool, face red from being as badly winded.

Gisele not saying much to Alessandra, she knows her friend doesn't want to hear anything really right now, instead they wash her down after getting her gloves off.

When both women are ready, they come to the center of the ring, Alessandra still looking a little winded but tries standing proudly, Mary beaming as her hand is raised in victory.

"Anytime you want another go Alessandra, I'd love another crack at you" Mary tells Alessandra as they look at each other, Alessandra doesn't say anything, just nods before turning towards the ropes.

Leaving the ring with her corner crew, Alessandra looks downbeat as they walk up the aisle, Gisele putting an arm around her shoulders as she tells her "don't let this crush you, we'll work hard to make sure you win your next fight" Alessandra doesn't respond though as she just looks forwards.

In the ring Mary is posing for the camera's, blowing a kiss to them with a wink, before she thanks everyone who turned up to cheer her on.

Before she leaves the ring, Mary tells the camera "whoever leaves with that lightweight title, I hope they have me on speed dial because I am always open to another title around this waist" winking at the camera's.

She leaves with Rachel, both smiling as they chat all the way up the aisle, with this win how close to a title shot at the FCBA crown is Mary right now?
