Intro:
Two welterweight big hitters clash in a rematch now, back in 2019 Hilary Rhoda stopped Charlotte Flair in six rounds as the referee stepped in that night, can Charlotte get revenge tonight or will Hilary score a knockout this time around?
Form wise both are coming off high profile defeats, Hilary lost to title contender Tahnee Atkinson last month by knockout, while Charlotte nearly won the FCBA welterweight title off Kate Upton, coming up short as the power of Kate allowed the champ to keep her belt.
The fighters both were asked a few questions at their gyms by the FCBA Network's Layla Anna-Lee, who first headed to talk to Hilary at the Girls Friday gym, finding Hilary finishing her jog coming into the gym with a big smile and a wave to Layla.
Once they get past pleasantries, Layla gets down to business as she asks how the beautiful model feels after her defeat last month, Hilary admits "it was a sore one and I don't just me the bumps Tahnee gave me, for years I have been sure I am better then her, on the night we finally got to it she was better, though next time I will learn from my mistakes and will beat her", Hilary raising her right fist with a grin as if to show what Tahnee has to future forwards to in future.
Changing the subject to this fight, Hilary gets asked about how she rates Charlotte, Hilary nods as she says "well Charlotte is physically one of the toughest around, one of the strongest in the division and is a good technical fighter, on paper she has it all, problem is she loses her temper too easily and as I showed in our first fight I will punish her", Hilary grinning as gets handed a bottle of water from her coach Rebecca Romjin.
Final word is does Hilary think she can get back into title contention, Hilary shakes her head with a grin, replying "of course I do, I understand that my form has been too mixed right now but in this division with a few back to back wins you can earn a title shot, there are fighters breathing down my neck but I will emerge through all this to win a title again", Rebecca agreeing with the assessment, Layla thanking them for their time before she leaves.
Heading into the WWE performance center, Layla finds Charlotte working a punch bag under the gaze of her coach, when the coach calls time Charlotte takes off her black right glove to grab a drink, waving Layla to come over to her with her left hand.
"Layla look I am not exactly in the mood for you, so I will keep this simple, Hilary isn't going to beat me and I hope Kate Upton watches, like everything I do I conquer, I am the f**king Queen" says Charlotte, nudging back Layla with her right shoulder as she goes back to work the punch bag.
Fight night, Hilary is first out through the curtain with Rebecca and cut woman Eva Carneiro, she raises her right fist into the air as acknowledges her fans, jogging down the aisle wearing a black sports bra with white stripes down the sides, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves, her hair is tied up into a ponytail.
Getting into the ring Hilary looks focused as she heads to her corner, fist bumping Rebecca before she gets into her warm up routine, both women chatting about what they expect in the fight, Hilary looking relaxed knowing she can beat Flair.
Who now comes out with her coach behind her carrying her navy blue gloves, wearing a navy blue robe with the feathers around the collar, Charlotte struts down the aisle looking regal, when she gets to the ringside the robe is taken off by the coach, with Flair doing her traditional front flip headstand outside the ring to show her athleticism, then sliding into the ring.
The stunning wrestling is wearing a navy blue sports bra with silver trim, matching trunks and shoes, silver gloves put on with help from the coach, her hair then tied into a ponytail, she woos! To her fans as they woo back at her.
Then the fighters come to the center of the ring, with both squaring up nose to nose as they intensely stare each other down, hands on hips as the referee has to nudge them apart, after the instructions are done both fighters bump their gloves into their opponent's gloves hard, then return to their corners to a cheer from the crowd, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
Both women circle to start trading jabs as they know one mistake will leave them chasing this fight, Charlotte already showing she wants to be more aggressive as she steps in with straight punches that don't land clean, they do push back Hilary though as the brunette watches keenly from behind her gloves for her opponents attack.
Charlotte goes for the first big punch of the round with a left cross that misses as Hilary steps back in time, a double jab inside smacks into her face, a right hook then misses for Flair as she shows some of that temper problem she has been known to have, Hilary this time smacks in a counter left across Charlotte's face to turn her head.
Leading to Hilary taking the middle of the ring for herself, banging in several clean punches square through the mitts of her opponent to her face, taking a few clean shots in return to her own, Rhoda is firmly landing the harder looking punches right now judging by Flair's reactions.
Less then a minute to go before Charlotte lands her best punch of the round do far, feinting with a jab to duck under one from her opponent as she digs in a right to the body, then an overhand left smacks Hilary across her jaw, opening up the model to some more hard shots to the face as Charlotte starts to lay some heavy leather in.
At the bell Charlotte rallies late on but most think Hilary took the opener with her fast start, Charlotte stating daggers across the ring at the former FCBA champion, with Hilary focusing on her coaches words as they discuss what worked and what didn't, Rebecca happy enough with her fighters work.
Round 2:
Charlotte's known to be a slow starter, maybe realising she needs to up her own work rate Charlotte is off her stool faster, pumping in more punches in bunches, Hilary is forced back by a one-two that lands flush onto her forehead to knock her back a step.
Doubling up her jab in response, Hilary slams it into the face of the blonde as Flair again is a little too aggressive, Hilary timing her punches better as she sticks and moves, throwing in a few counters as Charlotte is more just coming straight forwards with her attacks.
But Charlotte shows a nice change up attack, a left hook to the body is followed by a straight then a left hook up top that causes Hilary to groan out as she takes a few steps back in retreat, before Rhoda can reset herself Charlotte is in her face, muscling her to the ropes where she whacks away to the body with hard hooks.
Pushing Charlotte back to create some space gives Hilary a little help, it isn't long though before she has to shell up as Charlotte is right back at her, drilling in some meaty punches to the abs of the brunette, who is grunting out with each hit that gets through as she is herded around the ring near the ropes.
The bell rings to end the round with Charlotte wooing for the crowd, getting one in response as she struts back to her corner, all Hilary can do is nod as she returns to her own stool, knowing she gave Charlotte too many openings to exploit.
Round 3:
Stepping back out their corners with more of a quicker step, there's an early fiery exchange as they want to earn the others respect, crowd cheering as they watch the fighters try to dodge while throwing their own punches back, cheeks getting caught with stiff punches that are marking them up.
Charlotte gets in close to hammer in two hooks to the body, trying again to muscle back her opponent to the ropes, where Hilary uses Charlotte's momentum against her to turn then around with a little clinch, then a shove to get Flair onto the ropes as the blonde looks shocked to be there.
That look is quickly wiped off her face by a straight onto her lips, a left cross is partially blocked, the right into her abs isn't as Charlotte is taking a pounding on the ropes, forced to clinch up herself as she tries to reserve their positions, instead the referee needing to step in to pry the grappling pair apart.
Once they can resume fighting Charlotte gets hit with a double jab onto her nose, Hilary quicker off the mark as she presses back the blonde to towards a neutral corner, if not for a shove to her chest Rhoda would have had Flair pinned there, instead Charlotte gets into space with a furious look on her face.
Back comes Flair in the final thirty seconds, crowd looking it as they watch both fighters get their heads turned by hard cross punches, at the bell both manage to hold back as they grit their mouthpieces, staring hard at their opponent as Charlotte looks embarrassed to have been tricked by Hilary, stomping past Hilary to go back to her stool.
Round 4
Again it is a hard start from both as they trade punches through guards into either faces or abs, the thuds heard at ringside show they are not playing with kid gloves, Charlotte using her left forearm to the chest of her opponent to nudge her back as a right hook smacks across Hilary's cheek to turn her head.
Hilary finding herself on the back foot now as Charlotte turns up the heat, the wrestler is in close with her head nearly pressed into the chin of Rhoda, banging away to the body as she seems to think that's what will give her the win, she is being clipped to the both sides of her head in response.
Clinching up with Charlotte, Hilary finds herself nearly pushed through the top and middle rope as the referee rushes in, breaking them up as Flair is warned to keep it clean, Hilary looking furious now that Charlotte would try that.
Resuming towards the ring center with punches smacking into beautiful faces, now both women have bloody noses as defensive looks to have went out the window, Hilary looks to be on the worst side of the exchanges as Flair shows off her raw power.
Final moments of the round sees Hilary backed into a corner, shelling up as Charlotte taunts her while trying to break her down, when Charlotte is hitting the gloves of Hilary the cracks can be heard echoing, the round comes to an end with Charlotte wooing into the face of Hilary, then marching back to her corner looking her usual cocky self.
Round 5:
It looks like Charlotte is on top of the world, trying to press her advantage as she steps after her opponent, but Hilary looks to have calmed down after losing her own temper in the last round, the brunette beauty is dodging more before landing counters to keep Charlotte honest.
A right cross misses for Charlotte as a counter uppercut lands on her chin, Charlotte stumbles back two steps as she shakes her head, BEFORE FLAIR CAN RESET HERSELF A LEFT HOOK LANDS ON HER CHIN BEFORE A RIGHT NEAR HER TEMPLE SENDS CHARLOTTE TUMBLING TO HER BACK!
The Rhoda fans roar as Charlotte hits the deck, Hilary pumping her right fist into the air as she jogs to a neutral corner, 1...2...3... Charlotte is groaning but not moving as she lays spread eagle, 4...5...6.. Her gumshield hangs out her mouth as her head turns to the right, 7...8.. Charlotte's coach shakes their head as 9...10 it's over! Flair is counted out!
Winner Hilary Rhoda KO Round 5
After:
What a stunning knockout from Hilary, who turns to mount the bottom ropes of the neutral corner, wooing herself to chuckles from some at ringside as Hilary laughs, Charlotte of course wouldn't be happy if she were not knocked out right now.
The winner jogging back to her corner to embrace her corner team as they get onto the apron, Rebecca telling Hilary "you played a little loose there, need to keep your focus better if we are to put the title back around your waist" making Hilary nod, knowing that she fought well but made a few mistakes that she shouldn't have.
Meanwhile Charlotte is brought back around with help from her coach and the ringside doctor, Charlotte covering her eyes with her left glove as she can be heard sobbing, upset at losing again to Hilary, someone she clearly feels she should be beating.
Helped back up so they can get her onto her stool, Charlotte has a few tests but she bats the doctors hand away as she says "i'm fine" staring hard at the doctor to prove she is, the coach thanks the doctor before telling Charlotte that they'll help her from the ring.
Charlotte tries to get up on her own but is a little spaghetti legged, accepting help from her coach to get out the ring and to walk to the backstage area, Charlotte looks humiliated as she stares at the floor with red cheeks and her eyes unblinking, with her athletic abilities she maybe should be dominating the welterweight division, problem is it takes more then just muscles and flexibility to succeed, her temperament has failed her once again.
In the ring it is celebration time as Hilary gets her right hand raised in victory by the referee, she is beaming as she takes in the cheers from her fans, she poses for the cameras with her arms flexed, winking after she is done to the camera crew.
Stepping out the ring with her corner team, Hilary is joking with Rebecca and Eva about where to go for the after party, but it will be back to the grindstone on Monday as she looks to add another title around her toned waist in a division that is getting more stronger by the month it seems.
