Intro:
It's now time for the FCBA lightweight title fight, the "Gravesend Gladiator" Gemma Arterton challenges the "Ace" Kendall Jenner for the title, can Gemma win back the title and continue the run of Front Street holding a title in each year over a decade.
Gemma has won her last five fights, her last was on the Asylum card over former title contender Jaimie Alexander, Kendall meanwhile defeated Emily DiDonato to retain her title on last months PPV, this is her third defence of the title since defeating Adrianne Palicki to win the title.
The build up was quite respectful between both fighters camps, Kendall telling the story of Gemma congratulating her the night she won her first lightweight title, which happened to be on an asylum card, the question was how respectful would they be coming face to face?
The answer came as they stepped together on the stage at the press conference for the PPV, coming nose to nose for the face off, Kendall holding the title towards the crowd on her left shoulder, while the face off is intense, they shake hands smiling when it's time to separate and go to their designated tables to sit next to their managers.
Gemma is asked the first question about she feels about Kendall, the challenger smiling as she answers "Kendall seems very sweet, I know some people of course have seen her angry side, one I might see if I take the title" raising her hands pretending to be afraid for a moment as Kendall playfully raises her right fist towards her, there's laughter in the room as it shows how at ease they are.
"Seriously though Kendall is a great person and fighter, I know my manager thinks very highly of her" adds Gemma, her manager injecting "Gemma is totally right on that by the way" before Gemma finishes her point by saying "this will be my toughest test possibly in the ring, one I look forwards too" Kendall almost blushing at all the positive words coming her way, not used to that with all the rivals she has.
Kendall is asked why she picked Gemma by another journalist, she looks with a big warm smile of her own towards Gemma, then answers "there are so many reasons, I mean for starters as you can see we both have a healthy amount of respect and friendliness, she is an elite fighter that should be discussed more when pound for pound discussions happen and she is someone I haven't faced before, after seventy five fights it becomes hard to find genuine tough competition I haven't shared a ring with, this will be one of my toughest tests too" Gemma nodding her thanks for the compliment.
The next question goes to the Front Street Boxing manager, asked how confident he is in Gemma's abilities to keep his stables record of titles each year alive, he nods as he replies "I should have expected that question, simply put Gemma has been one of our best fighters for many years, she has been a great champion once before and we believe can be, though again I want to add Kendall is one of the greats the FCBA has seen in the past few years, this could be one of the fights of the year is what you should be focused on more then records and streaks, instead focus on two of the best today going toe to toe" the manager of the Girls Friday stable quick to agree with that assessment.
The final question comes from Tess Valmore to both women, asking how friendly will things be once the dust has settled, there is a little nervous look at first between them as if unsure if the other will be so kind, Gemma answers "I'd like to think we will shake hands whatever the result" making Kendall nod in return, saying "I'd like that too" standing up both prove their point with a hug, then walk off the stage at opposite sides to each other.
Fighting time and we have two special guest commentators for this fight, the odd pairing of Cassie Scerbo and Jenny McCarthy, with already a few hostile words, Jenny saying "look short fry let me show you how this is done" with Cassie replying "let's see how it is done old lady" with Jenny blissfully unaware of the cheap shot thrown her way as she smiles smugly.
First up through the curtain is the challenger, as usual for Gemma 'London Calling' by the Clash is playing through the sound system, she gets a loud cheer from the crowd as she comes out with coach Neve Campbell, wearing a violet robe as she heads to the ring, a cheeky smile on her face as she walks down the aisle.
The robe comes off once at the ring steps, revealing her usual violet coloured gear, a sports bra, gladiator style trunks, boots and gloves, her hair in a ponytail as she steps into the ring, all business now as Neve is yelling at her like a drill Sargent on what they expect her to do tonight, Jenny sniping "why Gemma listens to that hooker I don't know, she should follow my teachings" Cassie replying "well if Gemma ever falls on hard times I am sure she can become a failed talk show host like you" causing her and Jenny to argue again.
Only suddenly the voice of Dua Lipa snaps them out of it as "Hotter then Hell" plays with Dua singing her song for her stablemate in a little red dress, her comes Kendall through the curtain with her coach Alessandra Ambrosio and cut woman Eva Carneiro beside her, flames come out either side of the aisle as she walks to the ring wearing a red satin robe, Alessandra holding up the title for the world to see.
Eva helps Kendall with her robe to reveal her attire, a red sports bra with a black ace of spades badge on her right bra cup, red trunks, shoes and gloves, while her hair is also in a ponytail, she jogs up the ring steps before climbing into the ring, eyes on Gemma as she bounces on her toes in her corner, warming up as Alessandra hands the belt to the referee.
As both women come to the middle of the ring for a tense face off as any friendship goes by the wayside now, all that matters is the title held by the referee, predictions come in from our commentators, Jenny says "it's obvious Kendall is going to win, I mean Gemma makes a living off tomato cans and she is a fraud, a fraud I tell you!!" Making Cassie turn her head ahead from being deafened, Cassie replying "I'd be shocked if you can spell fraud, anyway I have seen Gemma train for this fight, she is in amazing shape and Kendall might find herself zero and two against Front Street fighters" Jenny looking annoyed as she screams "I know how to spell that, F... A... R... D, like you and that old man who manages Front Street!"
As all the screaming is going on at the commentary desk, the fighters in the ring exchange a respectful fist bump, along with a message of good luck more out of curiosity probably then really wishing them so, back into their corners now, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of FCBA lightweight title action.
Round 1:
"Ding!" At the bell the fighters step out their corners looking all business, trading probing punches as they show their opponent respect, Gemma drilling more of her punches towards the torso of Kendall then the champion is to her, getting a good feel for each others reflexes as they both step back when a right flashes towards them.
After the feeling out process Gemma tries to land her first big punch of an overhand left, Kendall moves back out the way as she buries a counter right into the top of the English fighters head to knock it back, a left cross then catches Gemma as she moves back herself.
Getting to the half way point of the round, Gemma has landed a few good shots, mostly she has been kept at range as Kendall is her physical advantages well so far, dancing back when Gemma starts to close the distance up, jamming her fists straight into the face of the actress to knock her head back.
Less then a minute to go when Arterton has her best success of the round, slipping under a left cross to bang in two right hooks to the body, using her left forearm to nudge the model off balance a little, enough to open up Jenner to an overhand right to her cheek, smartly Kendall holds on when she ends up on the ropes, the bell rings to end the round with a little nod of respect between the fighters.
As they head to their corners, Jenny says "see that short fry? Gemma has no answers when met with a half decent fighter" with Cassie answering back "oh Kendall is elite, so is Gemma" with Jenny putting her right hand to her nose then over Cassie's head to mock her.
Round 2:
Fist bumping Neve before the bell rings, Gemma is out her corner using more head movement along with feints to try to find a way in, Kendall looking a little more cautious as she throws range finding jabs, first thirty seconds seeing Kendall doing a good job keeping her smaller opponent at bay.
Till a feint jab opens her up to a straight right to the solar plexus, Kendall groans before an overhand left smacks across her cheek, back goes the model as Gemma turns up the head, the "Gravesend Gladiator" showing her power off on the inside as she mixes up her targets, mostly landing hard short hooks to the body to make the champion groan out.
Nudging back Arterton with her right, Kendall lands a double jab to her forehead, moving a little more side to side as she tries to move away from the ropes, more punches being exchanged in bunches as Kendall still has the ropes near her back.
A right lands onto the chin of Jenner as her jab sails wide, a left hook follows as with less then a minute to go, she finds herself powered back onto the ropes, where Arterton is hammering away at her flanks again, Kendall covering up as best she can up till the round ends, a great solid return for Gemma as she turns on her heels to return to her corner.
Round 3:
Now having a feel for each other, both women are throwing more flurries of punches, Kendall lands a good one-two combo right into the face of her opponent, missing with a sweeping left cross as she moves in, Gemma dipping under it before hammering in a left/right hook combination to the body.
The first minute is a bit of a back and forth affair with Kendall trying to get the center of the ring, maybe too aggressively now as she misses with a straight, getting clocked with an overhand left in response, then getting worked back into a neutral corner as the Arterton supporters tell her to hurt the champion.
She is doing a good job working the abs of Kendall, who has to pull her into a clinch, both break apart fairly at the order of the referee, soon enough back to fighting with Kendall throwing more defensive jabs to try to keep Gemma on the outside.
Less then forty seconds to go with Gemma trying to get back inside, missing with a straight, taking a counter right onto her ear as Kendall switches positions with her, driving Gemma onto the ropes she was on moments before, the Front Street Boxing fighter having to shell up as Kendall tries to pay her back for the bullying she suffered during the round.
At the bell both women return with sweat starting to make their magnificent bodies glisten, Jenny is yelling "come on Kendall! Knock her out!" Cassie replying "nothing like a bias cheerleader" Jenny going red faced "I'm not a fat cheerleader" not knowing what bias means clearly.
Round 4:
Stepping out of her corner knowing she needs to turn this around, Kendall is relying on her footwork more to get the range where she wants it, almost like a dance between these two wonderful fighters, Gemma getting in several good body punches, taking several clipping punches around her head in return.
Banging a double jab into the top of Gemma's head more often, Kendall is taking control of the action, forcing Gemma to tighten her guard up more as she moves around the ring, a little swelling starts to form under the right eye of the challenger as another double jab is followed by a straight around that eye.
After being pushed back in the opening half of the round, Gemma deflects a jab to hammer in one of her own to the chin of Kendall, a right cross then turns the champs head as she finds the opening she has wanted this round, driving back Jenner into her corner, where Neve can be heard telling her to work the body.
Slamming into the abs of Kendall, when the guard comes down Gemma slams an overhand left to turn the face of Jenner around, pushing back Gemma to get out the corner, Kendall has blood running from her bottom lip, both fighting around the ring till the bell rings to end the round.
Both jog back to their corners with Kendall shaking her head as she knows she is in a fight here, Gemma still looking all business as she knows that she needs to keep her foot on the pedal, eyes locked across the ring from their stools as they are patched up.
Round 5:
Boxing around the middle of the ring, Kendall is starting to throw more rights behind her jab, drilling it into the face of Gemma, getting her abs tested again by the straights of Gemma, with both women trying to get control of the action.
As Gemma tries to close the gap between them, she gets caught with a counter right onto her ear as Kendall shows her footwork hasn't been slowed down yet, even as her body is starting to have red marks on, she follows with a left cross to snap back the head of the challenger.
Starting to put her foot on the gas pedal, Kendall drills in more punches through the mitts of her opponent, forcing fiery exchanges at midrange, then stepping back to dodge some of the more heavier handed shots coming her way, so she can counter with a punch straight into beautiful face of the actress.
Gemma digging punches under the ribs of Kendall as gets in closer, a left forearm to her chest opens up the gap between them, where a right hook catches Gemma on her jaw to send sweat from her head, back goes Gemma towards the ropes as Kendall follows up with a one-two square into her face.
The round comes to an end with Kendall's best performance so far in this fight, Jenny yelling "see Cassie, I told you Gemma was going bye... Bye" Cassie rolling her eyes "Jenny she is ahead on my scorecard, how much have you been drinking before this fight?" With McCarthy replying "oh just a small drink, about two whiskeys, a point of Guinness so I could stomach you, right now I am having a vodka" making Cassie's eyes go wide.
Round 6:
Both women step out their corners banging their gloves together, knowing the second half of this is probably going to be as hard as the first, Gemma's right eye is starting to swell as Kendall seems to be using it for target practice with her jab.
Gemma dipping down to hammer in a right to the solar plexus, Kendall groans as she is hammered to the body, eating a straight into her face as Kendall gets her to back off, with Kendall moving away towards the ropes, with the challenger hunting her down.
As Kendall tries to back up Gemma, she misses with a left cross as the challenger dips down to dodge, then an overhand right turns Kendall's head, pressing back the champion into a corner, an uppercut snaps back the head of Jenner, she has to clinch up as Arterton starts to open up on her.
They are broken apart with Kendall getting out the corner, but being forced into heated exchanges as Gemma is getting right into her grill, slamming in hooks when she gets in close, before being shoved back out to the outside by Jenner, who hammers in straight punches in return to her face as the round comes to an end.
Kendall wipes some blood off her chin from her cut blood lip, as across the ring Neve and the Front Street team work on reducing the swelling around Gemma's right eye, both fighters starting to feel the fight, nodding to their coaches as they get a pep talk.
Round 7:
Pushing out of their corners, Gemma looks to get into the face of Kendall early, problem is she is too predictable with her charge, ending up getting clocked with a counter left onto her right eye that makes her cry out, a cut forms above her right eye when another left slams across it.
For the first time in the fight Gemma looks worried, she is being picked off on her right side as Kendall keeps to that side, moving in and out of range as Gemma is starting to get ragged with her punches, finding more thin air then actual clean punches.
Half way through the round, Kendall slams in a jab on the nose of Gemma to knock her towards the ropes, an uppercut follows to wobble the legs of Gemma, WHO TRIES TO CLINCH BUT EATS ANOTHER UPPERCUT ON HER CHIN THAT SENDS HER TO ALL FOURS!"
"Woo! That's what I am talking about!" Yells Jenny nearly smacking Cassie as her arms go into the air, 1...2...3.. Gemma trying to push her way up, 4...5.. Blood dripping from her cut to the canvas, 6.. Gemma slips as her legs are like jelly, 7...8... Landing on her bum as she watches the count, 9....10 Gemma is counted out!
Winner Kendall Jenner KO Round 7
After:
The title stays with Kendall after another hard fought defense, she raises her arms in the air looking to the heavens smiling, Alessandra jumping up and down outside the ring as Jenny knocks her drink over celebrating as if Kendall is her fighter, Cassie shaking her head as she looks at her wet dress.
As the rush of emotions start to die down for Kendall, she sits Gemma being helped up by Neve, rushing over to them she helps Neve get Gemma back to her stool, almost apologetic for celebrating as wildly as she did, with Gemma chuckling as she says "why be sorry for that? I would be doing the same" both smiling as they share a fist bump, Neve patting Kendall on the back saying "I can see why Wiz would want you in our stable in a heartbeat" Kendall thanking her for the compliment before heading back to her own corner.
Where the winner gets a big hug from Eva and Alessandra at the same time, Kendall reminding them "you do know she worked my body, ouch" groaning as she rubs her stomach, both saying sorry before an ice pack is placed onto Kendall's abs to numb her pain.
Across the ring back in the Front Street corner, Gemma is also saying sorry, in her case for not being the person to continue the stables streak, Neve telling her "you fought well, don't beat yourself up, that's my job on Monday to do" winking as she tries to keep her fighters spirits up, Gemma smiling as she nods, happy to be getting worked on especially her eye.
After a few minutes to get cleaned and patched up, the fighters head to the center of the ring for the final result to be announced, Gemma showing her class to applaud Kendall as the champion has the gold belt with the famous black strap put around her waist, Kendall blowing kisses to her supporters as they chant "there's only one! Kendall Jenner! One Kendall Jenner!" With both women hugging gently to show they are still on good terms.
Out the ring steps Gemma with Neve beside her, already Gemma is talking about being back in the gym training for her next fight, Neve smiling as she is pleased to have such a dedicated fighter under her wing, telling Gemma "you'll win that title again, I am sure of it" making Gemma's smile grow bigger.
In the ring Kendall poses with the title belt, pointing at it with her left hand as her right fist is raised, showing what her challengers can expect next time she steps into the ring to defend the world title, Alessandra patting her on her back afterwards as she tells her how proud she is of her.
Soon all of the Girls Friday crew leave the ring, Kendall strutting to the back, proud to be leading the lightweight division as it's champion, of course the next question is who is next for Kendall? Well we should find out soon when she makes her next announcement.
Final word from commentary, Jenny is dancing on the table as Cassie yells "god you really are old Jenny, my mother dances better then you!" Jenny obvious to her taunting as either Kendall winning over Gemma or the drink through her system has her in a party mood.

For the first time in the fight Gemma looks worried, she is being picked off on her right side as Kendall keeps to that side, moving in and out of range as Gemma is starting to get ragged with her punches, finding more thin air then actual clean punches.
Half way through the round, Kendall slams in a jab on the nose of Gemma to knock her towards the ropes, an uppercut follows to wobble the legs of Gemma, WHO TRIES TO CLINCH BUT EATS ANOTHER UPPERCUT ON HER CHIN THAT SENDS HER TO ALL FOURS!"
"Woo! That's what I am talking about!" Yells Jenny nearly smacking Cassie as her arms go into the air, 1...2...3.. Gemma trying to push her way up, 4...5.. Blood dripping from her cut to the canvas, 6.. Gemma slips as her legs are like jelly, 7...8... Landing on her bum as she watches the count, 9....10 Gemma is counted out!
Winner Kendall Jenner KO Round 7
After:
The title stays with Kendall after another hard fought defense, she raises her arms in the air looking to the heavens smiling, Alessandra jumping up and down outside the ring as Jenny knocks her drink over celebrating as if Kendall is her fighter, Cassie shaking her head as she looks at her wet dress.
As the rush of emotions start to die down for Kendall, she sits Gemma being helped up by Neve, rushing over to them she helps Neve get Gemma back to her stool, almost apologetic for celebrating as wildly as she did, with Gemma chuckling as she says "why be sorry for that? I would be doing the same" both smiling as they share a fist bump, Neve patting Kendall on the back saying "I can see why Wiz would want you in our stable in a heartbeat" Kendall thanking her for the compliment before heading back to her own corner.
Where the winner gets a big hug from Eva and Alessandra at the same time, Kendall reminding them "you do know she worked my body, ouch" groaning as she rubs her stomach, both saying sorry before an ice pack is placed onto Kendall's abs to numb her pain.
Across the ring back in the Front Street corner, Gemma is also saying sorry, in her case for not being the person to continue the stables streak, Neve telling her "you fought well, don't beat yourself up, that's my job on Monday to do" winking as she tries to keep her fighters spirits up, Gemma smiling as she nods, happy to be getting worked on especially her eye.
After a few minutes to get cleaned and patched up, the fighters head to the center of the ring for the final result to be announced, Gemma showing her class to applaud Kendall as the champion has the gold belt with the famous black strap put around her waist, Kendall blowing kisses to her supporters as they chant "there's only one! Kendall Jenner! One Kendall Jenner!" With both women hugging gently to show they are still on good terms.
Out the ring steps Gemma with Neve beside her, already Gemma is talking about being back in the gym training for her next fight, Neve smiling as she is pleased to have such a dedicated fighter under her wing, telling Gemma "you'll win that title again, I am sure of it" making Gemma's smile grow bigger.
In the ring Kendall poses with the title belt, pointing at it with her left hand as her right fist is raised, showing what her challengers can expect next time she steps into the ring to defend the world title, Alessandra patting her on her back afterwards as she tells her how proud she is of her.
Soon all of the Girls Friday crew leave the ring, Kendall strutting to the back, proud to be leading the lightweight division as it's champion, of course the next question is who is next for Kendall? Well we should find out soon when she makes her next announcement.
Final word from commentary, Jenny is dancing on the table as Cassie yells "god you really are old Jenny, my mother dances better then you!" Jenny obvious to her taunting as either Kendall winning over Gemma or the drink through her system has her in a party mood.
