Intro:
It might shock people to see that this is both Hilary Swank and Katee Sackhoff's debut considering both women's history of playing tough women on screen, tonight we get to see who lives up to that billing here in Texas's Alamodome.
Both women spoke to the FCBA Networks host Lucy Liu about this fight, first in the hot seat on the set was Hilary, of course famous for playing Maggie Fitzgerald in "Million Dollar Baby" back in 2004, Lucy shows Hilary a picture of the actress back from that film.
Hilary grins as she tells Lucy "to think that is eighteen years ago, I had to go through hell to look that great but it was worth it, especially to work with Clint Eastwood, though I do wish I made my debut in the FCBA back then" chuckling to herself, Lucy smiling back as she nods.
Asked about why she never did join the FCBA in her prime, Hilary replies "well look at Michelle Rodriguez and Katee for that matter, when we tone up and learn to fight as well as we can, managers don't want to risk their stars against us, they don't have the confidence in their fighters to let them go toe to toe with the likes of me, instead I did sparring work and even coaching some young stars, now my stable has let me scratch an itch" Hilary looks a little annoyed, maybe remembering watching from the sidelines all those years not getting a fight.
Lucy then asks about this fight and about a possible showdown with Rodriguez, Hilary's smile returns as she answers "first I need to see how I do with Katee, I have a lot of respect for her, so I am not going into that ring expecting a cakewalk, now of course you bring up Michelle, I've always wondered which of us would win if we went head to head, we've always joked about it when at awards shows but honestly it isn't just the media hyping that fight up, I think me and Michelle know sooner or later we need to find out whose stronger, tougher and simply the better woman" Hilary getting a handshake from Lucy, who wishes her good luck.
Katee is next in the seat, with Lucy reminding Katee of her younger days in "Battlestar Galactic" as Starbuck, Katee grinning as she sees herself in her own boxing gloves from an episode, also funnily enough she started on the show in 2004.
"God I feel old" says Katee with a hearty laugh, she adds "I was such a nerd inside, still am, but you put those gloves on me and I become a warrior" Lucy asking about a reported fight in that ring between Katee and her co-star Grace Parks, Katee laughs as she makes sure to point out that secret stays on the set.
She is then asked why she hasn't fought till now in her view, Katee thinks about it for a moment, then answers "I guess I was too high risk for a low reward, I am not an Oscar winner, but you raise your fists to me and you better bring a doctor with you, I have never been afraid to fight, even as a waitress when I was starting out I got into some heated scraps with some mouthy waitresses that thought I was simply the whipping girl for them" fists clenched as she rests them on the armrests.
Final question is on her view of Hilary, Katee tells Lucy "Look I respect her, I'll admit I have thought of this for a long time, when we step into that ring, there won't be any respect between us, it's simply two tough old broads letting our fists do the talking, I think I can knock her out cold, of course she thinks the same, may the better woman win" Lucy smiles as she wishes Katee luck, shaking her hand with a warm smile.
Fight night, out first comes Hilary with her coach Taryn Terrell, she heads down to the ring wearing a white sports bra, green trunks with her surname in gold on the waistband, green shoes and gloves, hair tied into a ponytail, she steps through the ropes, acknowledging her supporters by raising her right fist in the air, before working Taryn's hands like punch pads as she looks focused.
Here comes Katee now with her own coach, she thuds her black gloves together as she steps down the aisle, she is wearing a black sports bra, black trunks with "Starbuck" in white on her trunks, black boots, while her hair is braided, she steps into the ring giving Hilary a hard look before she starts to shadow box as her fans applaud her.
After the introductions are finished the fighters walk to the center, the referee goes through their final instructions as the fighters intensely lock eyes, shaking their arms at their sides to keep them loose, when asked to touch gloves, they thud them into their opponent's set, jogging back to their corners, both are ready when the bell rings to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.
Round 1:
"Ding!" There's a touch of their left gloves before they get down to business, heads moving as they throw jabs, seeking to get an idea of what their opponent brings in the early feeling out process, touching each other up with straight punches as their fans chant their names.
Hilary dips under a straight to bang in a left/right body shot combo, just missing with an overhand left as Katee steps out of range, a nod of respect from Katee, who thuds her gloves together as she wades back in, both women going toe to toe in a phonebooth style battle as now things are heating up.
Again it's Hilary who seems to have warmed up to the task better, catching Katee with an uppercut under her chin, a left cross turns the blondes head as Hilary starts to muscle her back to the ropes, slinging in more power shots till Katee can clinch her, ordered to break they do so without incident.
Final forty seconds of the round sees Swank trying to keep the pressure on her opponent, Sackhoff showing good movement to slip a straight, then bury a right in the abs of Hilary, followed by a left hook onto her jaw, Katee now backs up Hilary onto the ropes, finishing strong with several hooks under the ribs of the Girls Friday coach, at the bell they return to their corners, smiling as both look to have enjoyed letting their hand down and actually fighting instead of simple sparring.
Round 2:
Back out they come looking more intense now, slinging in straights behind their jabs now, trying to control the pace of the fight, with Katee looking to up the tempo it seems, she walks into a right across her cheek after missing with a straight, then takes a left hook under her ribs.
Hilary looks to be focusing on the body, throwing in hard hooks as Katee grunts with each hit, pushing Hilary back a step, Katee comes firing back with a flush one-two square into her face, showing she won't back off so easily as they stare hard at each other behind their gloves.
While Hilary kicked off the round strong, Katee is starting to land some hard punches of her own, smacking Swank across her face with a right cross, Katee lands a one-two to snap back her head, driving the Oscar winner back onto the ropes, where now Hilary grabs onto her in a clinch, again they break without an issue.
Late in the round Hilary scores blood as she catches Katee across her nose with a left cross, blood trickles from the nostril of Sackhoff, who covers up more tightly as Swank walks her down into a clinch, at the bell it's most likely another round to Hilary, Taryn wiping her down as they talk strategy, Katee getting her nose cleaned up as she stares hard at Hilary.
Round 3:
The punches are definitely getting harder as they plant their feet more, barking with effort when they go toe to toe, Katee's nose trickling again as Hilary looks to bash her back, missing with a straight as Sackhoff slips it, then lands a right near the ear of Swank.
In close they go again, ripping in. Body shots, bumping shoulders as they seem locked in a primal struggle, neither wanting to give the other an inch, though it looks like it was a bait by Katee, who steps a quick step back to open up room to land a left/right hook combo up top to knock around her opponent's head.
Soon a straight on the nose of Hilary evens the score on bloody noses, Hilary trying to stick in like Katee, getting caught though with some hard combos that snap her head back, with Katee backing up Hilary onto the ropes, where she digs in two body shots followed by an overhand left to the ear of Hilary.
Final moments of the round sees Swank try to push off Sackhoff, waving her to bring it as Katee grins, both lacing each other with hard shots till the bell rings, Katee returns to her corner looking relaxed, her coach wiping her down as a little blood has dripped from her nose to her bust, in the opposite corner Hilary is being told to keep her focus, Hilary fist bumps Taryn before the start of the next round.
Round 4:
Resuming as they ended the last round, both are happy to exchange with their opponent, falling in close they clinch and wrestle a little till the referee breaks them up, Katee now telling Hilary to bring it on, both slamming punches square into the others face, causing more blood to flow from their noses.
Hilary swings in a left cross that misses by inches, her reward is an uppercut on her chin, snapping her head back as Katee now piles in with two more straight punches to her face, Hilary trying to cover up but she looks rattled, Katee not in the mood to let up on her.
Another miss by Swank leaves her open to a right on her chin, a left hook wobbles her back, Taryn yelling to cover up, IT SEEMS TOO LATE AS ANOTHER RIGHT HOOK SENDS HILARY AROUND AND ONTO HER FRONT!
Katee stares down at Hilary with hands on her hips, blood dripping onto her bust, referee needing to nudge her to the neutral corner, 1...2....3...4.. Hilary blinks as she looks forwards, 5...6...7.. She pushes to all fours, 8... Touching the canvas with her forehead as blood drips onto the canvas from her nostrils, 9...10 that's it! Katee knocks out Hilary!
Winner Katee Sackhoff KO Round 4
After:
Katee raises her arms in the air grinning, "The Flash" star enjoying that victory as her supporters chant "Sackhoff!" At the top of their lungs, she returns to her corner to high five her coach and get her nose patched up, she thanks her coach for their support as she smiles warmly at them.
On the other side of this equation is Hilary, who needs to be helped up to her stool by Taryn, she jokes "sh*t I didn't think it would be that hard" laughing to show her spirits haven't been dented, Taryn smiles back as she begins to patch up Hilary's nose, Hilary already talking about wanting another fight as Taryn looks at her as if she is crazy after she just lost.
Over comes Katee after both have their gloves removed, shaking hands before a warm embrace, both pose with an arm around the others waist, Katee on the left, Hilary on the right as they point their other fist towards their opponent's chin, grinning at the camera before Katee jokes she wants a photo of that for her mantelpiece.
Katee says to Hilary "Christ you are tough, my sides are sore from those body shots" making Hilary nod, Hilary replying "you can talk, I thought after the first two rounds I had you, then you stuck in and busted my nose, if we had met in a bar in our younger days we'd have fought bare fisted all night" making both laugh, Katee nodding to Hilary as Hilary tells her she deserves the spotlight alone.
Out the ring goes Swank, at 47 it might be asking a bit much that she really compete now in the ring, though she seems sure she can handle it, waving to the crowd even as Taryn has to help her to the back as she is still a little shaky legged.
The winner meanwhile gets the result made official as the referee raises her right hand, she tells the camera "how about it Michelle Rodriguez, wanna fight me?" Making the challenge clear, can Katee upset Michelle in the ring if they fought? Maybe we will find out as Katee leaves the ring after thanking her supporters, the bantamweight division just got two tough cougars to it's ranks.
