Candice Accola versus Kate Hudson
(Words: Empire / Results: Lookout!)

BEFORE: "I've detested Candice for some time. She's got length and speed but no heart.  She got lucky in her last fight with Belissario, she was way behind and close to folding. Tonight I'll further expose her and add her to my trophy room" states Kate Hudson. "Do you know why Kate prefers to stay behind the ropes and not between them? This"... Candice taps her chin and smiles cruelly.  "She might have a body of stone but for sure she has a glass jaw. Tonight I'll knock her out and show the world why I belong on the tour" snarls Candice.

Kate Hudson out first escorted by Brooke Burke and Jaime Pressly. Hudson disrobes as the crowd gasps. Kate in a black bikini that accentuates her sculpted body, matching gloves, short blonde hair loose about her shoulders. Candice out next escorted by Jennifer Love Hewitt and Anne Hathaway. Anne removes her robe to reveal a red bikini, matching gloves,  hair swept back in a long ponytail.

R1:  Ladies meet midring, Kate pops quick flurries of jabs, pivots left, keeps a compact defense as she ducks underneath Accola's left jab, right cross combinations and digs gouging hooks to Candice's belly and ribs, leaning back to avoid Accola's follow up punches and snapping her head back with quick hooks to the bridge of Candi's nose as crimson droplets begin to trickle from her right nostril. Crowd roaring as Accola's head jerks up after a right uppercut,  eyelashes fluttering, eyebrows arched up in shock, hands drooping beneath her breasts, lurching forward in desperation to clinch as Kate bodies her to the neutral corner, stacking her up and feeding her left hooks to the ribs before following up with compact lefts to her cheek, Candi tearing up, drooping forward,  cheek on Kate's shoulder, mouth wide open as Hudson swings away lustily to the bell. Candice in a daze, wandering to the side.

R2: Hudson grinning, waiving to the crowd, showboating, stooping to jab Candi's belly before pivoting left and snapping jabs off her forehead. Kate keeping her right at her hip, smirking as she leaves her chin open for all to see. Accola ashen faced with embarrassment, keeping her mitts at her chest, trudging forward, twisting go her right to load up and hurls a right hook to the body that Kate turns into, shot careening off her hip.  Hudson urging her girl forward,  pivots left to snap her head back with another jab before Accola lands a flurry of hooks to her sculpted abs. Kate grinning, shaking her head no as the crowd roars. Candice seething, actress disrespecting her power, dismissing it as a mere annoyance.  Hudson darting forward,  snaps a left hook off Accola's mouth followed by a right to the belly button folding her in half.  Hudson shrugging her shoulders, jackknifing backwards to avoid a clinch attempt and leaning against the ropes as she allows Candice to recover!  Accola's eyes welling with how could you tears, tv starlet screaming with rage as she spots a laughing Troian Belissario, hurling into a shocked Hudson and swiveling her head with a left hook, followed up by a right uppercut just as the bell sounds. Hudson staggered,  legs give a shimmy as she slumps against the ropes! Candice drops the second but sends her foe a message through two!

R3: Kate working behind the jab to work her way inside then digging away to blonde belly and ribs, tucking compact lefts to the breasts as Candice covers up, bobbing around a left cross and bumping her in the mouth with her right shoulder before staggering her foe with a left hook that snaps off her ribs. Kate putting together good combinations, pelting Candice around the hairline but Accola getting everything behind her compact hooks and uppercuts inside, shaking her girl and backing her up to the ropes. Candice finishing strong, hurling leather at her foe as Kate covers up at the bell.

R4: Accola working behind the jab, feints body to shift her girl's guard before snapping a left jab right cross combination that sends Kate staggering back to the ropes. Hudson covering up, weaving desperately as she tries to spin off the ropes. Candice hopping to, cuts her girl off and blasts her in the eye with a right jab, Hudson snarling, responds with a left cross to Accola's eye but doesn't see the right hook ticketed for her solar plexus.  Kate gasping,  folding forward upon impact as Candice shoots her head from side to side with a cruel left hook right cross combination that forces Hudson to wrap her arms around Accola's hips to keep herself from going down,  Candice goes for a hammer fist to Kate's lower back but the ref intervenes at the last second. Hudson covering up at the ropes, bobs away from an Accola jab and responds with her own right, pelting Candice on the bridge of her nose and follows up with a left hook to the belly button winning a sob of anguish from her foe. Girls trading leather at the ropes, Kare using the cables to bounce away from harm, stinging Accola with another hook to the belly before clinching to the bell.

R5: Blondes staggering midring, both lumping up despite their corners best efforts.  Eyes reduced to slits, cheeks swollen, bodies tender, as they seek to further punish each other. Candice throwing left jabs to force Kate to protect her battered face, pops her hips to sling a right hook over her guard and slamming into Hudson's chin. Kate swaying on the spot, hands drooping, eyes glassy as Candice slams another right to the chin dropping Hudson to the canvas! Kate shaking her head in disbelief,  taking her time to rise, leaning into the cables as the ref asks her if she wants to continue, nodding her head as Candice works her way inside.  Hudson reclining against the ropes, bobbing and weaving on autopilot as Accola hurls leather in a desperate attempt to put her away. Kate gets her jab going, snapping shots off her nose and mouth. Blood trickling down Candice's chin as her lower lip has split. Accola seething,  stooping forward to fit Kate's humble breasts for a left uppercut forcing her backwards as a follow up right bounces off her guard.  Candice stacking up, leaning in shoulder to shoulder as her chest and abs heave in exhaustion.  Ref breaks them up as Accola dips her shoulder and snaps Kate's head back with a left cross right jab combo that leaves Hudson destitute on the strands. Candice charging forward,  not wanting to give her girl a second more to recover.  Launching her face towards the lights with a left uppercut before following up with a right hook that sends Hudson spinning to her left, dropping to her right knee, arm draped over the second strand. Kate trying to shake off the cobwebs, but just can't get her feet underneath her, Hudson begins to sob at nine, bowing her head as the count hits ten! KO 5 Candice Accola!

AFTER: "Holy shit, that girl is tough. I couldn't break her down to the body and her jab was on point so I closed the distance and forced her to drop her hands. Kate could box for days if you let her, but tonight all the abs in the world couldn't save her" quips Candice Accola. At first glance you might think her the loser with a swollen right eye, busted nose and split lip, but Candi wins a tough war of attrition with a dangerous foe. Rumors of a second bout next month swirling as Kate's handlers call longtime Accola foil Troian Belissario to inquire about sparring availability.
