5. Karlie Kloss vs Kelly Gale
Karlie:
(29, 5’11, 22:21 FCBA, The Fighting Academy)
Kelly:
(26, 5’9, 1:3 FCBA, Girls Friday)
BEFORE:
While Kelly Gale hasn’t seen much success yet in the FCBA, having made a home for herself mostly over in the BBU, Karlie Kloss is no stranger to these shores, having first graced the catwalk in her previous appearance on the War in Heaven tournament stage, and not only that, making it to the very Finals in a close match-up against Miranda Kerr. Can she repeat her success tonight?
“Loads of respect for Karlie - she’s hugely underrated and highly deserving of her accolades,” Kelly Gale says first at the pre-fight press conference. “Not to mention the fact she’s two inches taller and usually fights at Welterweight. I’m coming into this next round at a serious disadvantage, but that’s never bothered me before. Like I said, I’m here to win this.”
Karlie seen smirking from across the table, and when it’s her turn to speak, she uses an entirely dismissive tone to respond:
“Gale’s a fighter, but she’s way out of her league tonight. Tough luck to have gotten seeded against me so early in the competition. I may not perform that well in regular bouts, but there’s something that wakes up inside once you put me in a tournament setting,” Karlie laughs. “I’m also here to win this. I made it all the way to the finals the last time round, so no one’s going to stop me this time!”
Kelly Gale is first to break the silence later in the arena, strutting out of the velvet curtains in nothing but a turquoise bikini and silver trimmings hanging over her shoulders. She bears a striking resemblance to another fighter on tonight’s card, but that Victoria’s Secret costume is enough to turn heads in this audience. She poses at the end of the ramp, blowing an air kiss to the cameras, before heading up the steps to the ring.
Karlie’s show is filled with flashing pink beams of light, pop music from her bestie, Taylor Swift, as the lanky American strides down the ramp in a pink bra and briefs set, and a regal and sparkling red cape draped over her shoulders, looking very much like a queen. She smiles wide as the crowd chants her name, before waving to them.
In the ring proper, both girls have stripped down to the bare necessities, and Karlie has opted for a pink set of gloves; Kelly in white. Referee signals for the bell to start, and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Lightweight action!
ROUND 1:
Karlie leads the early action, stunning Gale with an early cross to the arms before harassing the shorter girl with jab combos to the head. Kelly looks out of her depth here, grunting as she gets pushed about the ring with her arms wavering in the face of overwhelming force. Kloss, after all, almost made it to the very end of the previous tournament, seems determined to make it all the way this time by RAMMING straight hands right into Gale’s middle. The blonde is expending plenty of energy early in this fight, and Gale barely manages to get any of her own words in, the occasional return jab to Kloss’ face answered with two or three more sudden punches delivered to her nostrils and lips. Last minute and both ladies get in close and personal, BRAWL and SWING, Gale showing some fire of her own, finally, but it’s almost too late, as her opponent takes the first round wide at the bell.
ROUND 2:
More measured approach this time as Gale stays looser but further away. She’s controlling Kloss’ attacks by keeping her own distance, loose footwork leaping back and forth, then crisscrossing out of the way as Kloss lunges at the air in front of her face instead. Karlie growls with frustration, keeps chasing the shorter brunette down, landing a nice hook to the side of the head in eventuality but then quickly takes a counter-hook across her cheek, Gale battling back with choice and targeted blows. Gale suddenly on fire, tired of being underestimated her entire career as she bangs another one-two combo into Karlie’s washboard abs, shaking the taller blonde off of her and evening out the scoreboards once the bell rings after.
ROUND 3:
Karlie goes to work, trying to reclaim her lead, slamming a fast three-punch combo into the arms before a low hook catches Gale to the body. Whoomp of air exhaled from the lips as Kelly's forced back on the defensive, both arms moving desperately to try and intercept and block more attacks. More frequent melees erupt as Gale attempts to hold her ground, but fails, as another mutual blitz attack sees damage land both ways to her chin and chest. It’s a wild round indeed as Kelly gets beaten back by an overhand that almost blasts her off her feet there and then. Instead, the Girls Friday starlet goes huffing towards the ropes, trying to use her long jab to diffuse the situation. But it's Karlie's round through and through, and she retakes the lead with another wide round for her corner!
ROUND 4:
Massacre continues into the first minute, with Kloss chasing and chasing and trying to put her inferior foe down to the ground before the fifth round, making a grand statement for tonight. Gale’s not making it easy of course, blocking stiff shots with her arms before retaliating with swings towards Kloss' head, hoping to fend her assailant off with a scare. The combination of counterattack plus Kloss' own deteriorating stamina means Gale is landing more of her shots this time round, squeezing another right hand clean into Karlie's nose before rocking the blonde’s head back with a stiff swipe to the chin. So far, Kelly's still playing the underdog, but she's holding her ground well against Karlie's overwhelming tide.
ROUND 5:
Karlie's not looking too swell all of a sudden! All her juice has run out at this point and the sooner Gale realises this, the faster she can begin her own counterattack! Ladies first paw at each other from afar, before a slow hook is easily sidestepped by Kelly, who immediately counters with one her own across Karlie’s face! Ouch!! Kloss looks shocked as a fiddle, her mouth hanging open as she scrambles to cover up for the first time in a long while! AND HERE COMES GALE, mashing more of her fists into the blonde’s body and arm, taking as many hits as she can to score the upset tonight! Kloss eating hands left, right center, at one moment getting drilled to the midsection with a two-punch combo with her butt driven helplessly into the ropes, but an early bell saves the beleaguered babe from further torture! This fight just got a whole lot more interesting!
ROUND 6:
Kloss needs more time to recover, her chest heaving heavily and the second half of this fight thrown wide open with Gale’s latest success. Gale's corner fully realises the advantage she has at the moment, urging their girl onwards to CHARGE in and finish the job! Gale obliges, head down and feet shuffling forward like lightning on crack, bashing a right hand straight down to the middle to continue Karlie’s push towards the ropes! Kloss grunting, trying to weather the storm, but her head’s taking a beating left and right, Gale squaring those shoulders and POWERING punches through and through the noise, till a third overhand SLAMS off the top of Karlie’s head, sending her into a tailspin! DOWN KLOSS GOES!! The vaunted favourite of this tournament barely lets out a whimper before she CRASHES headfirst to the canvas, her face down and absolutely KO'ed out cold! The referee takes one look at her still form and WAVES the rest of this fight off! IT'S OVER!!
Official Decision: Kelly Gale defeats Karlie Kloss via KO6!
AFTER:
Upset fashion indeed as Gale scores one of the biggest wins of her career! The Girls Friday starlet throws her arms high into the air, looking absolutely elated at defying the odds tonight! Her patience and precision certainly paid off, staying her hands in the first half of this fight before blowing the Angel clean off her feet in the second.
"What did I tell you!?" Kelly shouts with glee. "Everyone underestimated me, including Kloss, who paid dearly. I'm ready for either Adriana or Gigi up next. Either way, I'm making it to the very end!"
Kloss on the other hand has to be stretchered out of the arena, the once pristine and glowing goddess now shaking her head from side to side, in shock, waving off the flurry of reporters' questions on her way out of the ring. Her future might still be bright, but the result tonight has definitely shown that it's time for other Angels to shine!
