(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout)
Intro:
With a new welterweight champion making her first defence, Karen Gillan and Hilary Rhoda are both looking to get a title shot before long, a win here will certainly move them closer to that goal.
Heading into this fight, Hilary has been on a good run, while Karen admittedly has had a mixed set of results, though she had a massive win against Karlie Kloss over a month ago to show she can beat these models.
Before the fight Alicia Atout got word from the fighters in the backstage area for the FCBA Network feed, first up was Karen looking relaxed in a white T-shirt with blue denim jeans, arm around Alicia as she talks to her.
Then she gets down to the issue at hand, Karen admits "well I am certainly not taking it easy this comeback to the FCBA, I asked my stable to keep getting me the big fights, Hilary is one of the best in the division" looking excited at the prospect.
Looking at Alicia with a grin, she adds "but Hilary isn't the best around, hell when was her title reign?" Shrugging her shoulders when Alicia looks to tell her when, realising it was a rhetorical question, Alicia just nods at her instead.
"I am not taking this fight lightly but I need to take down the likes of Hilary if I am to prove I deserve to be mentioned in that elite bracket, tonight I am going to prove I do" tapping Alicia on her back before heading off to her locker room.
Hilary meanwhile is wearing a black blouse with a matching coloured skirt, she grins as she asks Alicia how she is, not looking too worried by the task she is faced with later tonight, instead just relaxing against the wall.
Asked why she wanted to fight Karen, Hilary replies "she caught my eyes when she beat Karlie, that isn't an easy task but she damn well took Karlie's head off her shoulders"
Smirking though; Hilary adds "while it interests me, I am confident I'm going to be the one knocking her out, I always love knocking back down those who try to take a spot in the elite of this division, I've heard all the pundits claim the division is weak, when we have the likes of myself, Amanda (Righetti), Tanhee (Atkinson), Hannah (Ferguson) and Brooklyn (Decker) to name a few of the elite, I don't think we are that bad" Alicia smiling as she nods at that, Hilary heads off with fist bump for Atout.
Fighting time, Karen heads out first with her coach beside her, she taps her cheeks with her gloves before she begins to head down the aisle, waving to her fans as she is looking in the zone.
The Scottish stunner is wearing a navy blue sports bra with black trim, matching trunks, blue shoes with black laces, black gloves, as her hair is tied back into a ponytail.
Stepping into the ring, Karen dances on her toes in her corner as she raises her right fist into the air to acknowledge the cheers of her fans, the Hollywood star then begins to stretch as she awaits her opponent.
Who heads down the aisle now with that trademark catwalk strut, Hilary has her coach Rebecca Romijn and cut woman Eva Carneiro behind her, she waves to the fans with a smile as she enjoys the crowds love.
The American bombshell is wearing a black sports bra, black trunks with white trim, matching boots, black gloves with gold thumbs, while her hair is tied back into a braid to finish her look.
Climbing into the ring, Hilary high fives her coach crew before turning to face the ring center, throwing several punches then raising her arms in the air with a cocky grin, her fans chanting for her as the duelling chants begin to ring out.
Heading to the ring center with their coaches massaging their shoulders, the fighters stare daggers at the other, plenty of pride on the line after all the prematch talk, nodding to the referee when asked if they are ready to go.
Told to touch up their gloves, the fighters do as told, though it certainly isn't a loving tap as the sound of leather cracks into the air, both fighters jog back to their corners, the referee signals to the time keeper and off we go for 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
Fighting around the center of the ring to start, both are throwing out stiff jabs to test the others reflexes, Karen switching her targets up more of the two as she bounces up on her toes around the more mobile Hilary.
Who lands the first big punch, timing Karen sending a jab towards her stomach, Hilary lands a right cross to the side of her opponent's head, then lands a jab square into her face to back her off.
That is the trigger for both to start throwing more punches, Karen finding herself knocked back to the outside as Hilary makes herself Queen of the castle, holding the center as she goes head hunting.
Karen manages to land a good three punch combo to the body when she dips under a left cross, driving back Rhoda towards the ropes as they enter the final minute, Karen getting some good shots in on the inside.
Till she is nudged back, eating a left across her face then a straight to her right brow, Karen finding herself being kept at range by the more precision punches from the American as she is driven back to the outside again.
At the end of the round Karen nods to her corner to tell them "yep I screwed up there" her coach rubs her shoulders as they tell her to relax, this is her chance to enlighten the world on how great she really is.
Round 2:
Back to the jabbing exchanges to start off the action, both have the same reach so more often then not they are cancelling each other out at the moment, though Karen is the one trying to find different angles to strike from.
Which leads to Karen feinting that she is going to dip down to attack, when Hilary throws a right hook where she thinks the redhead will be, all she finds is air as Karen instead steps to her left then smacks a left hook to the cheek of the brunette.
Who finds herself being knocked onto the ropes by Gillan, Hilary needing to protect herself now as Karen is right in her face, swinging in hooks to the body along with shots across the cheeks of the model.
Pulling Karen into a clinch, Hilary looks in a bad mood to say the least at being tricked, she gets into a test of strength with Karen as they try to overpower each other, the referee needed to step in to break them up.
Once apart Hilary lands a double jab to the forehead of her opponent, getting some more control as the round heads to it's conclusion, Karen keeps pressing forwards to force some heated exchanges.
Up till the round ends, Karen raising her right fist into the air with a smile, Hilary shakes her head as she jogs to her corner, Rebecca assuring her the fight will be hers if she doesn't let her focus wane.
Round 3:
Throwing more punches in bunches as they fight at the center, each has had a taste of the others power but don't seem to respect it just yet, though judging by their faces as they are getting hit, that might change soon enough.
Hilary leans out the way of a left cross, slamming in a double jab to the left cheek of her opponent before just missing with a right hook as Karen moves back just in time, it does give Hilary the impetus to drive forwards.
Banging back Karen behind her guard, the beautiful model is ripping in hooks to the body when she can't find her way through the staunch guard of the formidable redhead, that leaves her open to cross punches to her cheeks to force her back.
Karen starts to get on a roll, landing punches to the cheeks of Rhoda to move her around the ring, taking the ring center for herself as she focuses on driving her fist through the face of her opponent.
That becomes a little predictable as they enter the final forty seconds, Hilary deflects a straight to land a right across the jaw of Gillan, the Scottish lass getting pounded back by another three punches into her face before she ends up on the ropes.
Where she is stuck behind her guard till the bell rings, when they return to their corners Rebecca doesn't go overboard with her praise for Hilary, making it clear she is happy with her work so far.
Round 4:
While Karen might be a little behind coming into this round, she still looks relaxed as she trades with Hilary at midrange, both not hard to find for their opponent at the moment, cheeks getting marked up by hard shots.
On comes Hilary with a double jab to the face of Karen, making her retreat as she comes after the gorgeous actress, who slips a straight to bang in two body shots then an uppercut does enough to force back Rhoda.
The feisty Scot isn't going away easily for Hilary, finding herself back to the inside as she looks to rough up the stunning model, using little nudges to keep Hilary off balance for overhand shots across her face.
Till Hilary finds herself knocked back into a corner by a clubbing right across her face, covering up as Gillan pounds away to the body, gritting her gumshield to not groan out loud, Hilary needs to clinch up to force the referee to break them up.
When they resume once again Karen is a little too quick to try to move to the inside, getting clipped across her face with cross punches as she keeps trying, forcing her to engage more at at range as seconds tick by.
At the bell both women look each other to see what damage they've done, maybe it's setting in that this is not going to be as easy as they thought as the scorecard on most peoples cards is tied so far.
Round 5:
Moving around more to bring Karen onto her, Hilary is landing her stiff jab square between the gloves of the redhead, soon enough the bottom lip of Karen is trickling blood as she takes a double jab onto it.
Still that doesn't deter Karen much, on she comes after parrying a straight to move inside to work the body, pressing Hilary into the ropes as her head is nearly under the chin of the bashful brunette.
Who shoves Karen back before all hell breaks loose, both going toe to toe as Hilary wants to show Karen she won't overpower her so easily, the crowd on it's feet even as some blows are landing on shoulders then to faces.
Moving herself off the ropes, Hilary leans to the right out the way of a straight, countering with a right that slams across the lips of Gillan, making Karen moan out in pain as she finds herself being driven to the ropes with seconds to go.
When the bell rings Karen taps her cheeks with her gloves, almost as if telling herself to stop rushing in, her coach washes her lip and tries to stop the bleed as Karen winces when it is being touched.
Round 6:
Trying to box more as she moves around Hilary, Karen is looking the most focused she has through the fight so far, switching up her levels to drill her punches into the gaps left in her opponent's defenses.
A double jab smacks her on top of her head, Hilary starting to get her flow again, bashing back Karen to the outside of the ring with a follow up jab/straight combo, Hilary tries to force her to the ropes but misses with a left cross as Karen slips under it.
Back around the ring they trade hard shots, looking for a way to take control of things, the fight becoming more even as they mix things up to give their opponent more problems with protecting themselves.
Ducking under a jab, Karen comes over the top with an overhand right that turns Hilary's head, a cloud of sweat flies off her as Karen begins to pound her back onto the ropes, a cut opens up under the left eye of Hilary from a right cross to the delight of the Fates corner.
Dragging Karen into a clinch, Hilary looks at her corner as if to ask "how do I stop her?" The referee is needed to break the two glistening warriors apart as they stare hard at each other, circling pounding rights into the others faces.
At the bell both sit on their stools needing to be patched up, coaches telling their fighters to step things up, sensing this is becoming a shootout now between the fighters, hard to separate them.
Round 7:
Planting their feet more as they let their hands go, both determined to win this with their right hooks, missing as the other sees it coming, going back and forth as sweat flies off them into the air.
A double jab smacks Karen on her forehead, a right cross knocks her back a step as Hilary starts to get her rhythm going, drilling back the head of her opponent to cheers from her fans.
That run is ended after Karen catches with a clubbing right to the cut under her left eye, hissing out before a left smacks across her jaw, Hilary is finding herself now being forced into a retreat across the ring.
One mistake leads to the other fighter getting on top, slamming punches into the others face with unnerving accuracy when they do get on a roll to get their corner teams worked up.
Less then a minute to go, both fighters in tight grinding cheeks as they pound the others side, groans escaping lips as both are wincing in pain, breasts bumping as they try to overpower each other in as much a battle of wills as well as pure strength.
When the round ends they tiredly push apart, chests rising faster as the pace of the fight is starting to show on them, bodies are reddened up more now as their corners are working hard, the crowd is at fever pitch chanting for their favourite to overcome their growing rival.
Round 8:
Circling snapping jabs into marked up faces, the fighters still have pep to their steps, even as they are drenched in sweat, loose strands of hair sticks to their puffy cheeks as they keep going hard on each other.
Karen ducks a left cross, using her Lett shoulder to bump back Hilary, THEN UNLEASHES A PICTURE PERFECT UPPERCUT THAT CATCHES HILARY FLUSH, DOWN GOES RHODA LIKE A FELLED TREE TO THE CANVAS!
Karen raises her right arm in the air before she marches off over to the neutral corner, 1...2...3... Hilary has her eyes shut as she groans, 4....5... The gumshield is spat out as 6...7...8... Karen looks hopefully, 9...10 she is right to be as Hilary is counted out!
Winner Karen Gillan KO Round 8
After:
That Scottish spirit was well and truly on display tonight, Karen smiles as she looks around at ringside to see her fans jumping while chanting her name, maybe the best win of her entire career so far.
The Fates coach is on the apron with their hands in the air and a big smile, Karen heads over to them to give them a big hug for all their help, joking she'd kiss them if not for her lips being sore; making both chuckle.
While the loser has to be fully woken up with smelling salts, Hilary rubbing her jaw as she blinks trying to clear her head, Rebecca trying to console her as she puts her arm around the shoulder of her fighter.
As they look up to see Karen her bubbly self, Hilary shakes her head as she looks at the canvas, wondering how she lost to Karen, maybe showing an arrogance not deserved in this case.
With the winner waving to her fans as she gets washed down by her coach, they don't notice that Hilary is being helped from the ring, just happy to take in the love from the audience for a hell of a fight to go along with her win.
While Hilary has to lick her wounds and rebuild again, tonight might be the beginning of a new era for the welterweight division, Jennifer Lawrence reigns supreme with the title going into the main event.
Meanwhile Karen is getting her hand raised at the center of the ring, her coaches applauding her as she flexes her right arm for the cameras, a smouldering look before she winks to them showing her playful side.
Is tonight where Karen shows she belongs in that elite argument? She'll certainly hope so as she leaves the ring, her gloves tied together hang over her shoulders as she poses at the top of the aisle, hands on hips as the Scottish warrior could be ready to cut through the contenders to the top.
