(Foxfire Atlantic Boxing (guest boxer) vs Free Agent)
Intro:
The second bout on the card sees Foxfire Atlantic's guest fighter, the experienced slugger Camilla Belle meet the new comer to the ring Kassandra Clementi in France.
Camilla comes into this contest with a record of 7 wins with 5 losses and 6 knock outs.
Compared to the record held by Kassandra of 1 win by knockout and 1 loss in her career.
Rumours are that Foxfire think highly of the young Australian fighter but with no room currently on their roster, they are trying to get her as much action as they can.
That appears to be true as Kate Winslet and Marvin Fox arranged this bout to take place on the undercard to their champion Malika Menard's first lightweight title defence.
At the press conference, both women met for the first time and hugged each other as they seemed friendly for two people just meeting for the first time.
Camilla let the cat out the bag as she spoke first at the podium "it's funny to think that me and Kassandra have been sparring since her fight with Rose Bryne"
The crowd of journalists look at each other confused as they didn't have that scoop when writing their headlines before this fight.
"Oh was I not supposed to say that?" Asks Camilla as she looks over to Kate and Marvin, neither look bothered as Kassandra laughs at the journalists faces.
"Well I'm sure Kassandra will explain but I can honestly say it's been a pleasure in the gym but sorry Kass, this is real now so I have to beat you but hopefully we can go back to being friends after this fight" says Camilla before she walks from the podium to Kate and Marvin to talk about what she said.
Kassandra looks excited as usual as she says "wow France! I only fought in England a month ago and now here, this is unreal"
Seeing that the journalists are after answers more than simple excitement, she adds "oh you want the sparring thing, well after my fight with Rose, Marvin asked if I wanted to come down to the gym, he wanted to try something, so I get there and me and Camilla meet for the first time."
Looking over at her future opponent, she smirks before saying "to be honest, me and Camilla were nearly at each others throats that first day, we nearly came to blows in the showers because we didn't like how hard the other had went in sparring"
Beaming with a radiant smile, she says "but after a week, we both talked it out and realised we both needed someone who wasn't afraid to push the others buttons, by the next week we became friends but Marvin was so impressed by us fighting, he set this fight up, so Camilla, I look forward to this fight but I will be taking your scalp as my trophy"
The fighters come together for the face off and can't help but smile as they go nose to nose before kissing each other on the cheek and walking off stage hand in hand.
Fighting time in the Palace of Versailles, Camilla comes out first with her brunette hair up and a long black cape on her back making her look formidable.
She climbs into the ring with Sophia Myles as her coach tonight, she looks ready to put on a show as her cape gets taken off to reveal a black bikini top, black trunks with white stripes running up each side with black gloves and shoes.
Next out comes Kassandra with Rose Bryne by her side as a one night only gig, she is wearing an orange coloured robe, that she gets Rose to peel off at the top of the entrance way to reveal her attire.
She is wearing for the fight, an orange bikini top, with matching coloured shorts, gloves and shorts, while her blonde hair is in a ponytail.
Climbing into the ring, both fighters come together in the ring centre to give each other a quick peck on the cheek before the referee comes over to read out his instructions.
Both women seem to be getting into fight mode after the early show of friendship as they stare at each other coldly.
Asked to touch gloves, they respectfully touch gloves before saying good luck to each other and return to their corners.
The last few tense seconds before the bell finally rings to start 10 rounds of lightweight boxing action.
Round 1:
Both women of course know each other well from the past month of sparring, so the action starts at a faster tempo then the crowd is used to for opening rounds.
Camilla flicking out a fast jab to try and unbalance Kassandra, who is trying to march through the jab to land something significant already in the contest.
Both quickly get into a quick exchange of punches before they work themselves backwards to create space and work out a way to take advantage.
But it's quickly becoming a stalemate as they cancel each others attacks out with the inside knowledge of the other.
Camilla quickly changes gear as she knows she has to make an impression early on Kassandra to win this contest or get bogged down.
She changes the tempo up by throwing a more varied set of punches to make the Australian start guessing where the next punch is coming and instead of fighting her own way, Kassandra is trying to anticipate what Camilla is going to do.
That gives Belle the chance to slam a straight to the lips of Clementi to knock her to the ropes but the blonde quickly escapes from the ropes with her footwork saving her an early beating.
The bell rings with both fighters grinning but the competitive fires are burning as they stare at each other before returning to their corners.
Round 2:
Kassandra with advice from Rose starts the round at a quicker pace herself after the end of that last round went against her.
Trying to out maneuver Camilla in the ring, the action quickly becomes another stalemate as each fighter scores cleanly to the others head, while trying to dodge their opponent's strikes.
Both even try to shove the other backwards to get each other into an advantageous position for themselves but end up just getting annoyed at each other.
Camilla's fuse seems to blow first as she starts getting her head down and walking down Kassandra as trying to out box each other is getting them nowhere fast.
It starts working as the Australian is being pressed back under the pressure of her opponents swinging hooks into her body and some wayward punches land to her jugs to make her wince.
The bell rings with Camilla looking the happier after the first two, while Kassandra looks to Rose for some form of help as she can't find an answer quick enough to get at her opponent.
Round 3:
Camilla is straight into her brawling stance but Kassandra is quickly adapting from her knowledge of her opponent and is moving around the ring while slamming punches just above the guard of Belle to the top of her forehead.
The blonde finally looks to be getting a foot hold in the fight as she dodges out the range of a haymaker to quickly step back into the space to land two hard hooks of her own to put an unbalanced Camilla down.
Quickly Kassandra races to a neutral corner as the referee begins to count the American, while Camilla quickly sits up and rubs her cheek.
Nodding at Kassandra, Camilla shows respect to her before she waits for the right time to get up and beats the count at 8.
The fight is ordered to continue and both fighters brawl it out as Kassandra thinks she has her foe her, while Camilla wants to pay the blonde back for the knock down.
After they nearly clash body to body, the fighters clinch up and can be seen talking to each other, taunting each other on how the other is going down.
The referee gets between the fighters and pushes them apart to trade till the bell to a loud roar from the crowd as the cold stares between both women show you the importance a win is to them.
Round 4:
Camilla continues to try walking down Kassandra even as the blonde is picking her off with the cleaner punches in the early.
But the brunette does manage to use her hooks to force Kassandra to the ropes, where they trade again in furious bursts of punches.
Kassandra gets her head caught with a vicious uppercut that snaps her head back and she drag Camilla into a tight clinch to clear her head.
The referee gets the fighters apart as Kassandra quickly moves off the ropes to find space and she gets desperate by throwing more punches to force Camilla to stay back.
The brunette doesn't look worried as she keeps her head out of range and is letting her blonde opponent waste her energy by striking air before she lunges in and cracks Kassandra to the cheek with another right hook.
Kassandra wheels backwards but shows her spirit to keep plugging away and the two trade again in tight as neither wants to give an inch to the other.
Swelling is starting to form on their cheeks already from the hard exchanges between the fighters in this tight contest.
Camilla again gets Kassandra to the ropes before being tied up again in a clinch as the fighters wrestle on the ropes till the bell rings.
Kassandra releases Camilla at the bell but those cold eyes to each other are not warning up at all, in fact they are looking frostier as the rounds go by.
Round 5:
Kassandra feels behind the eight ball again as Camilla is baring down on her, the Aussie is doing her best to keep the space between them at her range.
But Camilla is definitely landing the harder punches as she keeps working the body of Kassandra till she gets her near the ropes then they explode into an almighty brawl.
Both rock each others heads back with some harsh shots that would make you question how really close these two are.
Both clinch up again and the effects of the fight is starting to really show as blood runs down from cuts on both fighters, Kassandra has a cut on her left cheek, while Camilla has a cut bottom lip.
After getting separated, the round slows down in tempo as both fighters take a small break but continue to stiff each other in the face with single punches before circling each other.
Camilla starts up again with a lunging attempt to connect to the body of Kassandra that just glances the ribs of the blonde, had it landed it looked a fight ender on it's own.
But it let's Kassandra off the hook as she doesn't press her chance and Rose doesn't look happy in her corner as she shouts for her fighter to get at Camilla when she isn't steady.
The bell rings before she can heed that advice and Rose gives her a stern telling off for throwing away that chance late in the round.
Round 6:
Kassandra spurred on by Rose's words gets more aggressive as she meets Camilla head on, the fight gets scuffy as wild hooks fly in from all angles with only some cleanly landing on the other.
But the blonde is now pressing back Camilla, discreetly shoving her opponent with her left before landing a hard right hook that knocks Camilla now to the ropes.
Now Camilla has to fight her way off the ropes and it's not long till they are locked together again in a clinch but both fighters are head to head breathing hard into the others face.
Broken apart again, they launch into each other again just about miss clashing heads as their cuts are open again and they brawl in tight till they clinch up again for a breather.
Sweat is dripping from both fighters as the pace of the fight is taken it's toll on both, they won't give up though as they keep shoving each other in the clinches.
The ref pries them apart once again and the single punches return to both women's arsenals as they need a chance to find their second wind.
The round ends with both fighters looking happy to get a rest as they sit on their stools with their eyes shut, sucking in air.
Round 7:
Kassandra seems to catch her second win earlier as she presses forward the faster of the two fighters as neither had had many fights that have went into the later rounds, it's about who wants it more, at this stage it's the blonde.
She connects with a hard straight that causes Camilla's nose to start bleeding from a cut on the bride of her nose to go with the cut on her lips.
Camilla keeps coming back though, landing some good jabs and straights herself but Kassandra is throwing the greater volume of punches between them.
The brunette covering up as best she can when she is on the backfoot and the crowd look shocked as most pundits would have had an early knockout for Camilla.
But when you know each other so well, sometimes form books just have to be ripped up and it purely comes down to the actual fight.
Which is extremely close as Kassandra pounds Camilla to a corner but misses a hard thrown right hook that glances over the head of the brunette and gets clocked to her wounded cheek with another hand hook.
The blondes legs wobble as Camilla fights her way out of the corner with some harsh straights and now Kassandra looks in danger.
A hard hook under the left side of her jugs has her gasp and as Camilla is setting up another hook with a jab, the bell rings and she looks pissed that she didn't have time to knock out her opponent.
While Kassandra looks worried as she returns to her corner, sucking in air once again as she was certainly winded by that last exchange.
Round 8:
Camilla now looks in the mood to end this as she presses forward once again and Kassandra is looking to try and survive till the final bell.
That's three rounds away and all she can do at this stage is jab and move to keep herself out of the danger zone of Camilla.
But the American does find her way into her range to slam a hard jab/straight combo to snap the head of Kassandra back to cut her lips.
Then she starts hammering away at the guard off the blonde to try and end this now as the referee edges closer to see how things are going to advance.
Kassandra throws some tame jabs to look like she is OK but Rose knows she is hurting badly and part of her wants to race in the ring to save Kassandra from a beating.
But Kassandra sticks in the fight and finds a way to get a clinch though it's not the tightest clinch in the world, allowing Camilla to dig her to the body with short sharp body punches that make her grunt loudly.
The referee separates the fighters and Kassandra retreats once again with her jab now flicking out to ward off Camilla more than as a viable attack.
Camilla again presses her towards the ropes with a chopping right hand but the bell stops her again from landing that one punch she is looking for and she returns to her corner nearly screaming into the turnbuckle as she's getting frustrated.
Sophia keeps her focused on the task at hand with some reassuring words that the end is coming one way or another.
Rose remains silent as she works hard to get Kassandra fit enough to possibly go the full distance with two to go.
Round 9:
The fighters square up once again with Kassandra trying to keep as tight as she can and Rose is gripping the towel in her corner tightly in case she sees her girl take too much punishment.
Camilla is stalking down the wounded blonde with a stiff jab but she's running somewhat on fumes herself, her experience is telling her not to lunge in and get caught herself, instead she's picking her moment in these single punch exchanges.
Then she thinks she has her moment as she parries a left hook and connects with a hard sweeping right of her own that snaps Kassandra onto the ropes.
Camilla powers forward with another right hook to sent Kassandra down to her side in what looked a hard fall, Rose looks on with worried eyes.
The referee is counting and it doesn't look at first like Kassandra is even going to attempt to get up as she looks at the canvas with blood dripping off her cuts to the ground.
But as the count reachs 6, she starts to press herself up and is up at the count of 9 to a loud cheer as she looks unsteady on her feet at first.
Camilla shakes her head as she can't believe Kassandra beat the count before shouting her eyes and banging her gloves together to refocus on the task in front of her.
The fighters square up again but it's clear that Kassandra is hurt in a bad way and after a hard straight wobbles her into the ropes, the referee steps in before she gets seriously hurt and stops the fight.
Winner: Camilla Belle TKO Round 9
After:
Camilla quickly goes over to Kassandra as the two fighters warmly embrace on the ropes as they are both exhausted.
Belle can be heard clearly asking "why didn't you stop down, we all knew you were hurt babe and I didn't want to hurt you badly but you would have forced me too?"
Kassandra weakly smiles and replies "I bet you would have gotten up as well" to which Camilla nods as Sophia and Rose quickly rush in.
The stablemates all share a smile as they were happy with the fight and no one is badly hurt, Rose and Sophia clean the girls up before the final result is shouted out with Camilla getting her hand raised.
With help from their seconds, both fighters leave the ring together with an arm around the others waist to show that they hadn't fallen out with each other.
In the back, Denise Van Outen quickly caught them before she had to get back to her desk for the next fight to ask each for a comment.
Kassandra spoke first with Camilla still next to her "this woman is something special and should be getting more fights, maybe Malika should be fighting you tonight instead of Monika what's her name?"
Camilla laughs before replying "you know I can't unless Marvin wants to cause bother within his own stable but I hope you can continue to spar with me even if it's in an unofficial role, I know Marvin and Kate think highly of you and they'll keep getting you fights, just hopefully not us touring the world against each other as you beat the hell out of me!"
Both laugh as Denise looks ready to be sick and is about to leave before Camilla adds "I plan on not being too long away from the ring this time as I know plenty of girls want to fight me and trust me, I want everyone who wants a piece of me"
Denise nods as she leaves Camilla and Kassandra to shower up and go spend time together with a drink and maybe some good looking French men or most likely an early night after that fight.
