Intro:
Our second bout tonight here in Thailand's Lumpinee Boxing Stadium sees Ruby Rose and Ming Xi both try to improve their standings in the rankings, a win here could be the launch pad that begins their rise to the top echelon.
Their form coming into this fight is polar opposites, Hayley Atwell and Alyssa Lynch have beaten Ruby in her last two fights, compared to Ming winning her last bout against Malika Menard in the BBU, while in the FCBA she defeated JooJoo Hwang the last time in the organization.
That doesn't seem to work Ruby as FCBA Network interviewer Alicia Atout found out when she spoke with the Aussie actress in her locker room, Ruby told Alicia as her hands were being wrapped by coach Kelly Hu "I feel great coming into tonight, training has went well and I feel in awesome shape" looking relaxed with a smile.
"I know Ming is on a roll lately, but I also have seen that she doesn't like to be worked over to the body, I've been working hard on all aspects of my game, you'll definitely see me ripping away at her trunk till she either cries her submission or falls to the canvas, I've got this" Rose adds as she clenches her fists to see how tight the wraps are, looking happy with them as she nods at Kelly.
In Ming's room she is shadow boxing as Alicia is allowed in, Ming nods to her as she stretches her arms, telling the interviewer "all the work I've put in is starting to show, last year I was feeling down on myself because I couldn't seem to win, now I have beaten a former BBU champion, the sky is the limit as you say" all smiles as she bounces on her toes.
Asked about her opponent, Ming looks a little more serious as she replies "Ruby looks strong, very well built, I am confident I can out box her, wear her down till a gust of wind will knock her out, my power is starting to come through and Ruby will feel every bit of it" Alicia wishing her good luck as they fist bump.
Fighting time; out comes Ruby first with Kelly, she takes a deep breath at the top of the aisle before marching down the aisle, her eyes locked onto the ring as she looks all business now, wearing a black leather jacket to the ring.
Which after she steps through the ropes, Kelly helps her take off in her corner, putting on her black gloves to go with Ruby's black bikini top, black trunks with red stripes up the side, bare foot tonight, she bounces on her toes waiting for Ming to arrive.
Not long after the crowd cheers as loud for Ming's arrival, the Chinese model heads down the ring as if on the catwalk, long legs striding down the aisle as she has a flicker of a smirk as her coach follows behind.
Ming is wearing a red bikini top, red trunks with gold stripes, red gloves with gold thumbs, bare foot too, while her hair is tied up into a braid, she pumps her right fist into the air as she acknowledges the crowd as she stands in her corner.
After both fighters are warmed up they come to the center, referee staying between them as Ming looks down on Ruby with steely gazes coming from both women, looking all business tonight as a win here is very important for them.
Once the final instructions are finished, they touch gloves respectfully with their opponent, jogging back to their corners as the crowd is cheering them, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of lightweight action.
Round 1:
Ruby is moving more up on her toes while bobbing and weaving, compared to the more upright Ming, who is looking to control the range with punches aimed straight at the head of the smaller woman.
The opening forty seconds is a chess match, Ruby getting caught more often then not trying to move to the inside, her head getting knocked back by stiff punches into her face, keeping her where Xi wants her.
But Ruby times her attacks better, feinting with her jab before moving to the right to throw an overhand right to the side of Ming's head, with a left hook banging to the body of the Chinese fighter.
Pressing forwards on the inside, the tempi quickens up as Ruby is forcing the exchanges, roughing up the taller fighter with her head nearly under the chin of the Asian woman, swinging in hooks to the body as she takes the center of the ring.
Pushing back Rose as she tries to get the range back, Ming is finding it hard to disrupt the rhythm of her opponent, Ruby is landing the cleaner punches to bang back Xi till the round comes to a close, a great start for Ruby as she gets a pat on her right shoulder by Kelly.
Round 2:
Throwing more combos as she comes out the blocks, Ming is trying to match the work rate of Ruby, both landing digging punches into the others body and faces as they fight around the center of the ring.
Ming steps back as Ruby rushes in too quickly, landing a counter left cross to the cheek of the former "Batwoman" then lands a straight to snap back the head of Rose to ward her backwards.
Pressing back Ruby as her punches are flowing better, Ming is snapping back the head of the stunning actress to the delight of her coach, Ruby getting some success on the inside, that's till she finds herself nudged back so Ming can land more hard shots through her guard.
Kelly not happy with her fighter, seeing her guard isn't tight enough as she is relying on moving her head, Ming is like a sniper at the moment landing with precision to mark up the cheeks of Rose while having her herded near the ropes.
Finally with less then a forty five seconds to go, Ruby slips a jab to come inside with an uppercut that knocks back her opponent to her heels, covering up as she finds herself being driven onto the ropes, Ming is finding herself under a sustained assault for the first real time this round.
The bell rings to end the round with Ming looking apologetic for how the round ended, her coach tells her it is OK as long as she learns from her mistake there, Ruby on the other hand is getting a stern telling off by Kelly in the Academy corner.
Round 3:
Thudding her gloves together as she comes out, Ruby looks to have a renewed focus as she steps out to fight, both women landing stiff jabs as they move around the ring center looking for a gap in the others defense.
Dipping down Ruby comes in closer to hammer in two body shots, before finding herself being knocked back by a jab to her right brow, then a right hook that turns her head to the side, Ming looking like she is getting the measure of the Aussie.
Who feints with her jab as she slips under a left cross, an uppercut knocks Ming to her heels, AN OVERHAND LEFT TO THE CHIN OF MING SENDS THE LEGGY BEAUTIFUL MODEL DOWN TO HER BACK TO THE SHOCK OF THE CROWD!
Pumping her right fist into the air as she jogs to the neutral corner, Ruby enjoyed that punch alright! 1...2...3...4.. Ming shakes her head as she rolls to her front, 5...6... Pushing up to her knees, 7...8.. Ming beats the count, raising her fists up with a little worried evident on her face, she is allowed to continue.
On comes Rose looking to end the fight, Ming after taking a few clean punches clinches onto Ruby, almost smothering her on the ropes as she shows she has her strength still by turning her opponent onto them, the referee needing to break them apart.
For the success Ruby is having with some meaty body shots that have Xi gasping, she can't seem to land that big punch as she either is getting clipped across the top of her head or being held onto so she can't unload her bigger punches.
At the bell Ruby raises her arms into the air as she looks at Ming with her trademark grin, Kelly looks more relaxed as she doesn't give Ruby another earful, focusing on wiping her down as Ming is being told to not let her focus wane against someone who hits as hard as Ruby does.
Round 4:
Pushing off her stool looking hyped for this, Ruby is going on the hunt from the off, looking for another big combo to end this as Ming is focusing on boxing off her back foot more, jamming her jab square into the face of the actress.
Moving around more so not be an easy target, Ming arguably is getting the better of the opening minute, Ruby is still finding some gaps to target the abs of the Asian beauty, the cheeks of Ming are reddening a little, but she is holding off her opponent.
Till Ruby manages to land an overhand left after feinting with a straight, Ming finds herself driven backwards behind her guard as Rose starts to open up on her, fists flying into the body of Xi to try to open her up top, instead she manages to clinch up to stop Rose's attack.
Once apart they are firing in more punches, combos are flying as sweat begins to fly off them, Ruby is getting more time in tighter as she looks to be the bully, wanting to keep her opponent on her heels so she can't unload with her power punches.
Seconds left in the round, Ming uses her left forearm to open a gap for her uppercut to slice through the guard of Ruby, snapping her head back as Rose looks a little shaky as another four punches smack into her face just before the bell rings to end the round.
Feeling her nose, Ruby sees a trace of blood as her nostrils are leaking blood, she mouths "f***" as she returns to her corner, Ming looking pleased with herself for showing Ruby she isn't going to wilt under pressure so easily now in her career.
Round 5:
It isn't long into this round that Ruby's nose is bleeding again, a straight hammering onto it as Ruby seems to be making a similar mistake to the second, she is too open as she looks to be interested in paying back Ming for the bloody nose.
All that does though is allow Ming to land her precision punching more easily, dodging some wild swings from Rose, TILL A CLUBBING LEFT SMACKS RUBY AROUND HER TEMPLE, EYES SHUT AS SHE DOESN'T SEE THE UPPERCUT LAND FLUSH TO SEND HER TO HER BACK, GUMSHIELD FLYING ALONG WITH SWEAT!
It's Ming's turn to raise her arms in the air as she looks at the fallen Ruby, heading to the neutral corner after being yelled at to move, 1...2...3....4.. Ruby slowly turns to her front, 5...6.. She is reaching for her gumshield as she blinks to clear her head, 7...8... But she seems to be knocked loopy, pulling the gumshield slowly towards herself as Kelly is yelling at her to forget it and stand! 9...10 instead Ruby is counted out!
Winner Ming Xi KO Round 5
After:
Another great win for Ming as she poses for her fans with her arms out to her side, looking around at them from the corner as they stand to applaud her for another stunning knockout to her growing reputation.
Heading back to her corner to high five her coach with a warm smile, Ming looks proud of herself for stopping the hard hitting Ruby, especially after tasting the canvas herself in a great comeback.
Ruby on the other hand is helped onto her stool, Kelly more interested along with the ringside doctor on checking her out, making sure she is OK after getting clocked badly at the end.
After a few minutes the doctor waves for people to help them get Ruby to the back for more tests, Ruby gives the fans a wave to assure them she will be OK once she is outside the ring, getting a round of applause for her effort, even if it is meaningless in some ways without the win to go along with it.
Ming looks at Ruby with a hint of worry, showing for a fearsome fighter she does have a good heart, her demeanor changes as the referee waves her to the center of the ring, getting her hand raised to make the result official as her fans chant her name.
Posing for the crowd with her smiling as she blows kisses to them, enjoying the crowds love before she heads out the ring, comfortably for most the face of Asian celebrity boxing, how far can she go now she has momentum behind her?
