Intro:
It's time for the main event! A rematch between Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair three years in the making, they headlined Boxermania 3 when Charlotte Flair knocked out Ronda Rousey in the ninth round, now we are here in AT&T Stadium for Boxermania 6, can Ronda get her revenge or will Charlotte prove why she is the Queen?
Since then both have had their ups and downs in and out the ring, after Ronda won the Royal Rumble in the WWE and made clear she wanted to challenge Charlotte Flair for her WWE Smackdown women's title at Wrestlemania, she also threw out the challenge to fight on this event to right the wrong as she views of it her first defeat in the FCBA being at the fists of Flair.
After all the contracts were signed, stories came out of a few times both had to be kept apart backstage at WWE shows so they didn't fight, management warning them to save it for the FCBA or that they'd be suspended, leading to extra tension in the build up.
At the press conference a weigh in was scheduled too, the scale on the center of the stage, a big banner with "Boxermania VI" written on, large photos of both fighters each side to showcase how big a rematch this is, with Charlotte Flair coming on stage right wearing a blue robe that goes all the way to her bare feet, Ronda just steps on wearing a black bikini as the fighters stare hatefully at each other.
When Charlotte is asked to step on the scales, she drops the robe to reveal a light blue bra with a matching thong, proudly giving the crowd a "Woo!" Before she steps onto the scales, flexing her arms with a cocky expression, the FCBA committee man in his suit reads out "140lbs!" Charlotte waving Ronda onto the scale as she steps off it.
Ronda waving Charlotte to get out her way as she heads to the scale, both fighters are either side of it for a moment sharing a few nasty words before Charlotte is led away by her coach, Ronda then steps on the scale as the man in the suit reads "135lbs!" While Ronda has her arms out at her sides with an intense look.
Once Ronda is off the scales and standing in front of them, Charlotte marches up to her for the face off, both raise their fists as a big burly security guard stands beside them, eyes piercing through their opponent's, Charlotte surprises them as she grabs Ronda's right wrist before slapping her with a right across her face, Ronda looking for instant pay back as she swings a left hook to the body, the security guard needing help as these two proud powerful women want to settle it now, the crowd yelling to let them fight.
Dragged to opposite sides of the stage, Charlotte yelling "you don't belong in my ring!" Ronda screaming at security to let her Charlotte, showing the real disdain these two have for one another, both fighters coaches needing to help get them off the stage as they are boiling over looking ready to hit the security holding them apart, instead they do leave after a few more threats are exchanged.
After the event Charlotte posted on her social media "Ronda has always been all talk, I've caned you in a wrestling ring, I've knocked you out once before, now I make you my bytch!" Posting a picture of herself staring intensely as if in warning to Ronda.
Ronda fired back "I've save ripping your f**king arms off for Wrestlemania, I'll enjoy seeing your eyes roll into your head as I beat you senseless, don't f**k with me Flair!" Along with her own photo to show how serious she is taking training.
Fight night, "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett comes through the sound system marking the arrival of Ronda to the stage, she bounces on her toes as she takes a deep breath, her coach behind her all smiles as Ronda begins her march down the aisle, she is wearing a black leather jacket, with a red and black tartan kilt in tribute to her wrestling hero Roddy Piper, as she steps into the ring, the kilt and jacket come off to reveal a black sports bra with the orange "Rowdy!" Badge across the front, black sports bra with her surname in gold down her left leg, black boots, red gloves as her hair is tied into a braid, tapping her cheeks as she gets ready for this fight.
A loud "Woo!" Rings out before the stadium goes dark, a spotlight goes to the stage as Charlotte rises from underneath onto the stage sitting on a gold throne, smirking as she stares at the ring, pushing herself to her feet wearing a gold robe with feathers around the collar, she gives the crowd her own woo as the lights come up and blue fireworks light up the sky, Charlotte always has to have the biggest entrance on these events and tonight is no different.
She struts down the aisle looking her cocky self, dropping the robe before she does her famous front headstand flip to show off her athleticism, then slides into the ring as her coach applauds her, Charlotte is wearing a gold sports bra, gold trunks with her surname on the waistband in silver with diamonds to make it sparkle, gold boots with now gold gloves being put on, her hair is in a ponytail as she tilts her head back and puts her arms out to her sides to take in the mix of woos and boos from the crowd.
Referee brings the fighters to the center of the ring to go through final instructions, neither can hide their disdain for their opponent as they stare into their eyes, no touch of gloves as instead they return to their corners, crowd abuzz for this one as the fighters raise their fists, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
"Ding!" At the bell both fighters come out trying to land their power punches behind their jabs out the gate, up on their toes moving out of range of their opponent's shot, then trying to step in with their own, they end up planting their feet to lace their opponent across the face with several hard shots.
Ronda gets the better of the exchange as she dips under a left cross, banging in two rights under the ribs of her opponent, then an overhand left turns Charlotte's head as Ronda begins to drive her to the ropes, where she looks to chop down the taller blonde with hooks to the body.
Pushing Ronda off her, Charlotte is able to drill in a stiff jab/straight combo into the face of Ronda, problem for her is she can't get off the ropes, allowing Ronda to stay in midrange, both striking the other with hard straight shots, crowd whistling and cheering the action as already marks are appearing on the fighters faces.
Less then a minute to go in the opener, an uppercut catches Charlotte flush to snap her head back, Ronda muscling her into a neutral corner, Flair smartly hangs onto her when an overhand left glances her chin, both trying to shove the other body in the clinch, referee needing to break them apart so they can fight on, the bell rings soon enough with Ronda jogging back to her corner looking all business.
Round 2:
Remembering the power of Ronda, Charlotte smartly doubles up her jab, using her footwork and reach early in the round to give Ronda more problems, she is catching the smaller fighter around her forehead, getting her coach smiling as Rousey is being kept at range.
But Ronda won't be denied so easily, deflecting a jab with her right, she lands one of her own on the chin of Charlotte, following up with another right hook to the body, she is held onto by Flair when she gets in too close, both threatening to trip the other to the canvas with legs hooking their opponent's till the referee can break them up.
The action resumes with Charlotte back to working around the perimeter of the ring, drilling in her punches in stinging combos now, Ronda landing stiff body shots but is being outworked at the moment, an overhand right misses from Rousey as Flair sees it coming, instead a right smacks Ronda across her cheek to whip her head around.
Now it's Charlotte working back Ronda into a corner, bashing her with several hooks to the side of her head, Ronda firing punches out her guard as the crowd roars both women on, at the bell Charlotte gives the crowd a loud "woo!" As she returns to her corner, Ronda meanwhile tapping her gloves together annoyed at herself.
Round 3:
Coming out the blocks quicker, Ronda is taking the fight to Flair, leading to more heated exchanges, barks and grunts ring out as both let their fists fly, Ronda getting her head knocked back when she is hit flush, she is getting groans from her opponent over the body shots she is replying with.
Charlotte gives Ronda a little shove to the face with her left, Ronda tries to swing in an overhand left that finds thin air, a crunching right lands across Rousey's face in response, sending a little sweat off her brow as Charlotte now starts to pound in the straight punches, backing up the former UFC champion to the ropes, where Ronda has to clinch up, smartly Charlotte leans on Ronda to wear her down, referee breaking them up moments later.
As they resume it's clear the problems Ronda is going to have, she is needing to tighten her guard up, allowing Charlotte more time to throw in her combination punching, Flair picking her punches nicely, not just going for the head as she rifles in some punches to the abs of Rousey.
Late in the round Ronda dips under a straight to land a left hook to the body, maybe Charlotte losing focus as an uppercut knocks her onto her heels, forced back onto the ropes herself now, Charlotte shells up as Ronda unleashes a barrage of punches at her, thirty seconds later the bell rings to end the round, Ronda stomping back to her corner looking in a real bad mood, Charlotte getting warned not to let Ronda build up any head of steam.
Round 4:
Again that double jab early in the round gives Ronda trouble, a cut opens up on the bridge of her nose, Charlotte up on her toes looking maybe the best she has all year in the ring, whacking in some crisp hooks behind that jab to cause concern for the Rousey camp.
But Ronda sees her change, again Flair taking her eye off the ball, getting too close to the ropes, Ronda dips under a jab and bullrushes Charlotte to the ropes, whacking away at the body of the taller blonde, getting a few grimaces from Charlotte before an overhand left turns Flair's face around, forcing her to hold onto Rousey.
Broken up so they can resume, Ronda getting too aggressive as she looks to build off her success, a counter right turning her head now, with a double jab landing square on that cut nose, making Ronda back off as Charlotte grins, stalking after Ronda with that jab finding a home through the mitts of the former MMA fighter.
Ronda keeps showing her resolve, deflecting a straight this time, landing one of her own to the chin of Charlotte, who finds herself driven back into her own corner, Ronda working on the inside, head under Charlotte's chin as she chops away at the body again, at the end of the round both women have a small shoving match started by Charlotte, referee needing to split them up and warn them to listen to their orders, both know with a glare aimed at their opponent before they return to their stool.
Round 5:
Returning to the middle of the ring, Ronda is moving her head more looking for openings, getting clipped around the top of her head still, this has been a hard fight for her so far, still she plugs away with body shots, starting to force Charlotte to stand to trade then use her footwork.
An overhand right catches Charlotte flush on the chin, with a left hook catching her cheek, Ronda driving Charlotte into a corner, with Rousey landing in some meaty hooks up top till she is held onto, referee splitting them up as Charlotte grinds her forehead into Ronda's, referee warning Flair to keep things clean.
Back at it they go, Ronda pressing the action now, still taking some stiff punches to her face, now though she has Charlotte covering up more as Charlotte clearly doesn't want to get caught out so easily, leading to Ronda being more free to work now.
Late in the round Charlotte seems to lose her temper about this, both letting their hands go in close, sweat starting to fly off them, crowd going wild as the bell soon rings, coaches needed to drag them back to their corners as they keep throwing punches after the bell, referee telling both fighters off as they sit on their stools.
Round 6:
Coming back out their corners, both look to be adding more power behind their punches by stepping in to them, sweat getting batted off both fighters, who are staring hard behind their gloves at their opponent, tension clear between them as they box around the middle of the ring.
After a hard fought opening minute, Charlotte tries to step in with a left hook, Ronda steps under it and lands a short left hook to the body, as Charlotte steps back RONDA SLINGS AN UPPERCUT IN THAT CATCHES CHARLOTTE, DUMPING HER TO HER BACKSIDE!
The crowd going wild as Ronda jogs to the neutral corner, grabbing both top ropes beside her with her hands as she stare menacingly at Charlotte, 1...2...3.. Who shakes her head, trying to clear the cobwebs, 4...5...6.. Charlotte showing her toughness to push up to her right knee, watching the count, 7...8.. Before pushing to her feet, an irate look on her face as she looks at the referee, raising her gloves to show she can fight on.
As they resume Charlotte tries to make Ronda pay for putting her down, instead she gets clipped by a right hook on her jaw, Charlotte needing to hold on as she is forced back against the ropes, crowd on it's feet smelling a possible stoppage coming, but the bell rings to a few boos, Charlotte shaking her head as she looks at the ceiling, Ronda meanwhile staying standing in her corner, looking like a caged animal wanting to be released to get at it's prey.
Round 7:
Ronda straight out her corner looking to pressure Charlotte from the off, Charlotte needing to use her jab more defensively to start, catching Ronda around the top of her head to keep her at range, while she looks to move around the ring to keep the distance a safe one.
A straight into the chest of Charlotte leaves her open to an overhand left to her jaw, Ronda bullying her into a neutral corner, momentum has definitely swung around as Rousey now bashing away around the guard of her rival, getting some pained groans from the taller fighter, pulling Ronda into a clinch to get a breather, Charlotte has a little puffiness around her right cheek now.
Split up ready to fight again, Ronda is keeping Charlotte herded around near the ropes, problem is she hasn't been able to land another big punch, Charlotte showing a solid defence at the moment as she seems to have shaken the knockdown off, still her abs are being tested when Ronda switches down stairs, maybe where she should be sticking to open up more upstairs.
Final twenty seconds sees Ronda get a shove to her face by Charlotte, she misses with an overhand left as Charlotte steps out the way, an uppercut now catching Ronda on her chin, knocking back Ronda two steps as Charlotte stares daggers at her, both slug it open in the remaining moments of the round, you can't question their toughness as the bell rings, both return to their stools with Ronda looking frustrated she hasn't gotten Charlotte out the ring yet.
Round 8:
Ronda is wanting to be the aggressor again but Charlotte is starting to use her footwork again to dodge several big punches to start, a counter right lands around the temple area of Ronda, making her stumble back two steps, Charlotte looks to have a twinkle in her eye seeing that, stepping after Ronda to hammer in three punches to her face.
Now Ronda is looking unsteady, trying to swing back but being picked off by Charlotte, more blood runs from the cut on her nose, trickling down off the end of it, a one-two combo lands flush on the nose of Rousey, making her desperately clinch up with Charlotte.
The referee splits them up, with Ronda finding herself being forced onto the back foot when they resume, Ronda has to start holding and hitting to have any real success this round, referee warning Ronda to keep things clean.
Both showing the will to win as they trade, Ronda is definitely getting the worst of it, a clubbing right hook shakes her legs, with the bell ringing to maybe save Ronda from going down, she slowly walks to her corner with that eagerness to get back out to fight seeming to take a backseat to getting cleaned up now as she sits on her stool, Charlotte still looking sore herself as her coach patches her up.
Round 9:
Stepping back out to fight, Ronda is quickly met by a double jab on the cut nose, that opens up Ronda's guard to a straight on her forehead to snap her head back, Ronda misses with a desperate right swing, A LEFT HOOK LANDS FLUSH ON THE TEMPLE OF ROUSEY, GUMSHIELD OF RONDA HITS THE DECK BEFORE SHE DOES WITH A THUD! THE REFEREE CHECKS HER AND DOESN'T BOTHER TO COUNT! SHE IS OUT COLD!
Winner Charlotte Flair KO Round 9
After:
History repeats itself three years later! Charlotte giving the crowd her trademark "woo!" As she holds her arms out at her side, then she places her right boot on the cheek of the out cold Ronda as the referee checks on the beaten fighter, making her point as she flexes for the cameras that she owns Ronda Rousey in this ring.
Leaving Ronda after being yelled at, Charlotte wipes her feet behind her as she turns her back on Rousey, then returns to her corner to get cleaned up and her gloves removed, this has been a hell of a week for Flair, getting a win from her fight with Kate Bock on Monday in the Diamond Elite Boxing tournament, now beating Ronda to remind people why she is a top fighter in her own right.
All the while Ronda's crew work to bring her around, she stirs awake holding her head, not really knowing what hit her, she fought hard to keep up with Charlotte after a bad start, but this was a brutal knockout that will worry WWE bosses, Ronda being helped to sit up as the ringside doctor checks her over.
In the end Ronda is helped to stand by the doctor and her coach, who help get her out the ring so she can be checked over in the medical area, her fans applaud her as she goes, showing respect for her effort tonight, even if it ended so badly for her, she should be back sooner then later.
While the winner doesn't even bat an eye to her opponent, Charlotte simply grabbing her robe to place over her shoulders as she marches to the middle of the ring, getting her right hand raised, she gives the crowd another "woo!" As they join in with her.
As Charlotte looks to the ceiling with hands on her hips, blue and silver fireworks go off in the night sky above the stadium, finishing off the show with the spotlight on Flair the same way as she came to the ring, making it clear she is the Queen of the ring.

History repeats itself three years later! Charlotte giving the crowd her trademark "woo!" As she holds her arms out at her side, then she places her right boot on the cheek of the out cold Ronda as the referee checks on the beaten fighter, making her point as she flexes for the cameras that she owns Ronda Rousey in this ring.
Leaving Ronda after being yelled at, Charlotte wipes her feet behind her as she turns her back on Rousey, then returns to her corner to get cleaned up and her gloves removed, this has been a hell of a week for Flair, getting a win from her fight with Kate Bock on Monday in the Diamond Elite Boxing tournament, now beating Ronda to remind people why she is a top fighter in her own right.
All the while Ronda's crew work to bring her around, she stirs awake holding her head, not really knowing what hit her, she fought hard to keep up with Charlotte after a bad start, but this was a brutal knockout that will worry WWE bosses, Ronda being helped to sit up as the ringside doctor checks her over.
In the end Ronda is helped to stand by the doctor and her coach, who help get her out the ring so she can be checked over in the medical area, her fans applaud her as she goes, showing respect for her effort tonight, even if it ended so badly for her, she should be back sooner then later.
While the winner doesn't even bat an eye to her opponent, Charlotte simply grabbing her robe to place over her shoulders as she marches to the middle of the ring, getting her right hand raised, she gives the crowd another "woo!" As they join in with her.
As Charlotte looks to the ceiling with hands on her hips, blue and silver fireworks go off in the night sky above the stadium, finishing off the show with the spotlight on Flair the same way as she came to the ring, making it clear she is the Queen of the ring.
