(BBU/ACB Free Agent vs Foxfire Atlantic Boxing)

Intro:
Two of Australia's finest women fight on our shores as experience versus youth as Rose Bryne fights Kassandra Clementi.
Rose hasn't had the biggest number of fights in history but has been around the biggest names and her last fight was earlier this year against Allison "the knife" Mac in a hard fought effort but sadly ended in defeat.
Her opponent has just embarked on her career with a losing effort to another young prospect Olympia Valance only a few weeks ago.

At the press conference, Rose explained how this fight came to happen as she started with "I asked Marvin and Kate for this fight as I like to give chances to those I think have the talent"
Smiling her radiant smile, Rose added "I watched her fight Olympia and while she lost, I could see the hunger in her eyes and the passion that makes me know that she can become somebody in that ring"
Finishing up, Rose says "so this is your chance kid, either take me down or I'll give you a lesson that will either make you fight to succeed or crawl under a rock to never be heard of again"
Kassandra steps up to the podium and nods at Rose before starting her speech "look Olympia beat me and it was my own fault"
After admitting that, she continues "but I know I can do this, so while I want to beat Rose, she gave me a chance that some wouldn't have so thank you"
But as the women's eyes meet, she concludes with "but I'm stamping you under foot babe and using you as a springboard to greater things"
The last stare down is intense as the two women stare hard at each other to show while they have a level of respect for the other, they won't let that stand in their way of a good dust up.

Fight night in Twickenham stadium and Rose is out first with Kate by her side as she walks to the ring, Byrne is wearing a black robe and gloves to go with her shoes.
As she enters the ring, Kate helps take her robe off to reveal a black sports bra and tight shorts to show off her trim figure.
Out comes Kassandra looking ready to fight as she bangs her gloves together on the way to the ring and stares at Rose, whose staring back through the ropes.
Clementi is wearing a yellow robe, which her second helps her take off to reveal a summery yellow sports bra and tight shorts to go with her shoes and gloves.
The fighters quickly go to the ring centre and stand nose to nose as both look anxious to get this fight started and to see whose the stronger woman.
The stare down is intense as each tries to win the mental battle before they wage war with fists.
Asked to touch gloves, they do with a nod to each other thrown in, before they return to their corners to get their gumshields and final words of advice.
10 rounds of bantamweight action starts now.

Round 1:
Both fighters come out with probing jabs as they test each others defences out, Rose seems to get the measure of her opponent early as she throws hard rights to try and make a mark on her opponent.
The youngster though sees the quick fists coming and just about makes it back as the two are up on their toes circling each other.
The crowd is waiting for a fire fight between the two but instead it's a methodical pace being set with neither woman risking much in a very even round as you could maybe give it to Rose for being more aggressive.
As the brunette steps forward and lands two harsh jabs and just misses with a right hook, that's the best attack of the round before the fighters return to their corners.

Round 2:
The pace quickens up straight from the sound of the bell as Kassandra's corner want her to show that she's the one in her prime, not Rose and stop wasting time.
The blonde is pressing forward, using her jab to set up several quick short sharp punches, that Rose parries for the most part as she takes a few steps back.
The fighters seem to relax as they let their hands go and the crowd are feeling the energy come into the fight to mix with the technical display of both.
Rose seems the more accurate with her single punch attack and defence style or the shield and sword look you could say.
While Kassandra is throwing the greater volume of punches but is hitting glove as well as where she is aiming, as Rose uses her experience to defend herself.
Much better round though as the bell rings to end it and Kassandra looks much more content with herself after letting nervous keep her from letting her talent speak for itself.

Round 3:
Rose is counterpunching well as she keeps her guard high and is trying to force the younger woman to tire herself out before she makes her own move.
Kassandra on the other hand is moving around on her toes now after being picked off to the face in the early going of the round.
But she gets caught by a hard right hook that has her back tracking and Rose takes the front foot alright with some sharp punches coming at the blonde, who just escapes out the way with her speed and the brunette has to reset in case of a counter attack.
Kassandra looks mighty relieved, she keeps her guard tight now as Rose is certainly the one pushing the action and Clementi is sitting back now.
Rose is smiling as the round continues in the same vein, she's allowed to keep coming forward and the blonde seems sloppy till the bell rings.
Kassandra's corner looks ready to read her the riot act as she looks slightly down heartened by what's happening to her.

Round 4:
Again Rose is on that front foot, her jab is controlling the pace of the contest and is keeping the blonde rattled as Kassandra seems to be waiting for something to happen.
But the longer she waits, the less likely it is to happen as Rose keeps the fight to her range and her tempo.
Kassandra is nearly on the ropes after a string drive from Bryne and her seconds can be heard to be swearing amongst themselves.
Whether that spurs her on somewhat but Clementi does start to trade and accept she is going to have to get hit to give punishment to Rose.
Maybe she's been gun shy because of the defeat she suffered by Olympia Valance only weeks ago.
It starts to become a much closer fight on the inside as Rose has years of built up power but Kassandra has some natural strength of her own.
The big advantage again for the younger girl is her work rate, she is sending quite a few punches more to Rose then she is getting back in return.
The highlight of the round is a double jab off of Kassandra opens up Rose to a hard right hook to the body and the brunette is visible hurt.
But Rose manages to keep the younger fighter off her till the bell, Kate isn't happy with her fighter as she tells her "you should have downed her when she didn't have fight in her"

Round 5
Rose is trying to restamp her authority on this fight but it looks like the horse has bolted as they say because Kassandra is not being knocked back as easily.
The blonde is getting in tight to attack the body of Bryne with quick sharp punches that are making Rose wince and have to move backwards to create space.
Kassandra isn't charging in but is showing discipline to circle back and forth while using her jab to force her opponent to move her guard, then she fires in a right hand to anywhere she can find.
The work rate of the blonde is becoming the difference now as Kassandra plows a good three punch combo to the face of Rose before she gets clipped with a right hook to back her off.
But it doesn't stop her like before and Rose is finding herself needing to clinch up when Kassandra is able to work her way under the jab to get to the body of the older fighter.
The ref separates them and Rose looks a little flustered as she tries to get back the control she had earlier in this fight.
The bell rings after an exchange and both women look at each other and with a smile from Kassandra, it shows the different mental states both fighters are in now.

Round 6:
The blonde is in the face of the brunette as a furious exchange starts the round, neither is giving an inch as the crowd erupts in support of both fighters.
Rose can be seen clearly getting the worst of it as her cheeks are swelling but Kassandra has a black eye forming around her right from all the jabs she took before.
Both clinch up after a moment, but it is Rose who looks like she needs it the most as Kassandra is throwing some body shots when she can get her arms free in the grapple.
The ref gets them apart and Rose is stunned by a right hook to the chin and a left on her right temple puts her down to her side.
Rose can be seen shaking her head and blinking hard as the ref counts, that last punch looked a pin perfect shot.
Somehow Rose manages to stand at the count of 9 but her legs look like jelly as she stumbles back to the ropes and the ref waves the fight off.

Winner: Kassandra Clementi TKO Round 6

After:
Kassandra looks around the ring to the cheering crowd and can't believe she has actually won as it takes the ref lifting her hand up to show she's not dreaming.
Jumping on the spot, she hugs the ref which makes a lot of men and some women jealous of the referee right about now.
Before she rushes to check Rose is OK, the brunette is sitting on a stool as it's still taken awhile for her to recover from being badly dazed.
The doctor is checking it's nothing serious and rules that she should be OK but she will need to be monitored over night.

Kassandra looks guilty as she says "oh my God, Rose I'm so sorry, I didn't want to put you in hospital" tears form in her eyes to show she's sincere.
But Rose whose shaken most of the effects of that last punch off, looks up at the blonde and replies "I'll be OK, it's just routine babe, I'm just dazed, you did catch me with a punch that would make anyone proud, so just make sure you keep doing that or I'll want a rematch"
Kassandra looks relieved as she kneels down and bumps gloves with Rose before saying "I'll give you a rematch if you want babe but I know you'll be supporting me in future so I'll make you proud"
Both smile before Rose is helped from the ring but she doesn't look badly hurt as the crowd clap her.

Anna Woolhouse on commentary is also clapping as she says "good effort from both women, Kassandra has the tools to succeed but she needs someone to guide her, tonight she was too inconsistent and a more ruthless girl would most likely have gotten her out of there"
Kassandra waves down at Anna from the ring and shouts "I may have to stay here since I've won my first fight, I hope you're on commentary too!"
She leaves the ring smiling, don't know how much she'll like Anna when she predicted she could have been beat tonight on her performance but she probably won't care as she throws her gloves into the crowd to a loud cheer before being ushered to the back by security in case the crowd think audience participation continues with them celebrating in the ring with her.
