(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)

(Girls Friday vs Los Ignobernales)

Intro:
The debut bout of Hilary Rhoda as she takes on Bo Krsmanovic, who is 1 and 2 in her career as Victoria Secret fights Sports Illustrated. Hilary is 29 years old from Maryland, USA and is one of the highest paid models in the world, she has modelled for Sports Illustrated but is more famous for Victoria Secret work. Her opponent is young 24 year old Bojana (Bo) Krsmanovic is from from Belgrade, Serbia and is one of the up and coming models in the world combined with celeb boxer.

So a fight like this of course had the works media clawing over each other to get the scoop on workouts, what they'd be wearing on fight night and of course how big the rivalry between the two ladies was. At the press conference journalists got there answer as Bo and Hilary met for the first time and politely shook hands before Bo gave Hilary a big hug. Some journalists sighed at the sight as they hoped for fireworks, seemingly forgetting that Bo is one of the nicest women outside of the
ring.

Bo looks at the crowd of journalists, wondering what is their problem as Hilary whispers "they wanted a catfight babe" before winking. Bo asks shyly "do you want catfight?" Making Hilary laugh and give Krsmanovic a kiss on her cheek and jokingly replies "maybe another time" It takes Bo a few seconds to process as her English is still not quite there but is getting better and she smiles as she works the joke out.

Both are ushered to sit down and Stephanie McMahon sits next to Bo as Harry Keegan has come to help his new fighter Hilary get comfortable with these situations but he can see he doesn't need to worry. Hilary is ushered to speak first and she smiles warmly to the crowd of journalists, who seem to have forgiven both ladies as they listen intently.

"I've been looking from the outside in and can say I have been jealous, I mean look at me, I love a good scrap and I've had to just seat and a watch with my friends" says Hilary.

Pointing at Bo, she adds "I know Harry and Stephanie are friends so I asked for this fight because Bo darling, you're a machine, I mean look at her guys" She gives journalists a minute to look at Bo, who looks surprisingly shy as she doesn't like all the eyes staring and judging her till Stephanie tells her "sit up straight and be proud of who you are" Bo looks at her and does as she is told, which makes her feel more confident as Hilary can be seen smiling widely at her.

"That's the type of woman I want to fight, a powerful fighter who'll scrap with me all night and more importantly with Bo, will shake my hand afterwards because you just can't truly hate her, well not when she's not hitting you" finishes Hilary as she winks and steps aside for Bo.

Bo steps up and waves at the journalists before saying "Hilary is good person, I see that but I have to win in ring for myself and for my amazing manager Stephanie" Looking at Hilary she continues "you love scrap, so do I so we should have fun in ring and outside yes?" To which Hilary nods.

Both fighters are ushered to do the final face off, they look amazing face to face as they are two extremely fit looking models who melt peoples hearts with a smile. Giving each other a final hug, mostly because Bo pulls Hilary into the hug first, they leave the stage with their managers looking confident.

Fighting time and Hilary comes out first in a white bikini with a few pink flowers on the bust, she has white gloves and shoes. Alongside her is Melanie Sykes and cut woman Eva Carneiro to be in her corner for this debut as she looks slightly nervous. Stepping into the ring to a good sized cheer from the crowd seems to knock her out of her nervous state as she starts smiling and bowing to each side of the ring. Bo comes out with Stephanie by her side looking ready to fight as Steph can be seen drilling her with tonights tactics. But as Bo's eyes meets Hilary's, both women know how they want this fight to go it seems as they just stare at each other coldly and blank their management.

Bo enters the ring wearing a black bikini with Bo written by her left bikini top cup in gold letters, she has black gloves and shoes to complete the look. Both fighters ask for their hair to be braided before they go to the ring centre and quickly Melanie and Stephanie have to do their fighters hair up. As they finish, Bo and Hilary walk to the ring centre with a purpose and go forehead to forehead as all that friendliness is being replaced with the need to crush the other. The fighters are nearly pushing each other with their bodies as they get that close to each other and the ref has to get between them to shove them apart. Seeing that the other is serious about this, they share one quick smile and bang gloves together while saying good luck. The ref looks exasperated at seemingly not being in control as he was still in the middle of his instructions but is watching the fighters return to their corners ready to fight.

Shaking his head, he shouts for the bell to officially start 10 rounds of welterweight boxing.

Round 1:
Both fighters come out looking to take the others head off each others shoulders as the swing hard hooks at each other in the first few seconds, luckily in some ways they miss so the action doesn't end straight away. Settling down, both start picking the other out with stiff jabs as they seek to show the other that they can hit the harder of the two. But it's hard to tell whose winning that argument this early in the fight with both hurting the other. Bo starts to take advantage with the cleaner punches landing to knock Hilary back a few steps, making the American have to get on her toes and circle around the Serbian to create some space. Bo of course more used to JMD doesn't want Hilary to get too far away so moves to try to shut down any space for her opponent to get into. Back go the fighters in some brutal exchanges till the bell, where both fighters touch a glove together to show respect to each other. But Stephanie looks the happier for Bo taking control of the round in the middle part and tries to keep her fighter focused on the task. Melanie is seemingly still trying to wire this new fighter she has to look after and doesn't say much to her, Hilary talks to Eva though and seems in a good mood after her first ever official round.

Round 2:
Again they square up early to slug it out to the body this time as the crowd look mesmerized to watch these two big busty titans deliver so much pain to each other. Hilary quickly surprises Bo with a change of pace, up on her toes, she steps back and delivers a jackhammer like jab to the jaw of Bo to make her think twice about rushing in. Bo looks slightly put out as she wanted the two to stand and trade all night but Hilary doesn't seem to be bothered about that as she moves around the slightly flat footed Krsmanovic. Lunging in, Bo gets caught with a right hook that rocks her to the ropes and allows Hilary to try to finish her off it seems. But Bo was playing possum it seems as she lashes out with two cracking hooks to the body of Rhoda, who takes a step back and coyly smiles as her opponent. Hilary doesn't fall for that so quickly again as she keeps her head out of reach by throwing stiff straights to Bo's face. The Serbian bruiser can't get her way back to the inside and at the bell, she seems to question Hilary with her expression "why don't you stand and trade?" But Hilary is happy with her round and isn't interested if Bo is pouting of crying at her until she has her hand raised. Stephanie is explaining to Bo what to do now as Krsmanovic nods that she understands, though she keeps looking back at Hilary to see what she is doing.

Round 3:
Bo surprises a few in the crowd by moving up to her toes and even Hilary has a smirk as Bo is normally used to just been able to stand and land bombs to an opponent's jugs. Now she is being met with opponent's in the welterweight division that won't just stay static,  which Steph has evidently taught her to fight that style since her loss to Karlie Kloss in the New Blood tournament. But Hilary is still the quicker and she's scoring the cleaner shots over the guard of Bo to the cheeks, which are swelling up. Hilary seems to be zoning in on trying to shut one of Bo's eyes it seems as Krsmanovic has her guard too low, allowing Rhoda to fire over the top at will almost. Bo though is starting to catch up to her opponent with her greater mobility, she's lashing some hard body blows that are making Hilary grimace in pain. Clinching up, Hilary whispers something to Bo that makes the Serbian look upset and she tries to fight her way out as Rhoda shoves her to the ropes. Things are becoming heated as Bo tries to land a haymaker but is instead getting clipped to the face by a ducking and waiving Hilary. The bell rings with Bo looking angry and Hilary looking like the cat that got the cream as an evil brain lurks in that head of Rhoda it seems. Both fighters return to their corners with Stephanie asking Bo what did she say to you, Bo replies "that I'm a cow with fat udders" Stephanie now scowls at Hilary, who is smiling and chatting as if she is a saint to the two women in her corner, McMahon tells Bo "kick that bytches ass OK Bo!"

Round 4:
Bo looks processed as she charges out and nearly tackles Hilary through the ropes, the older fighter looks stunned as she tries to fight back. But Bo is lost to her emotions and is having the best round of the fight for either ironically because she is just going for it. Hilary takes a hard hook across her left cheek and the first real test of her career is upon her as blood seeps from a cut on her cheek. But to her credit, she begins to fight back against Bo as the two rock each other with cracking punches that echo in the arena. Both clinch up for a small card rest from being pummeled, Bo shoves Hilary to the ropes as she insults Rhoda now. Hilary looks shocked that the nice girl she met at the press conference,  is now using some horrible words like she used. Judging by her face as the fighters are pulled apart, she's regretting saying what she did in the heat of the moment. But as Bo comes forward like a Juggernaut, Hilary has to use all her speed and keep as tight a guard as she can to protect herself. The bell rings to somewhat save her and she hugs Bo while saying "sorry" Bo shoves her away as she won't forgive that easily. Stephanie adds fuel to the fire by telling Bo "keep at that deceitful bytch, she's trying to use your emotions to beat you" which has Bo staring hard at Hilary, looking betrayed. Hilary looks dumbfounded as Melanie has to get her focus back on the fight and not on getting Bo to forgive her.

Round 5:
Bo is quickly trying to get at Hilary, who looks like she wishes she could stop the fight for a moment to clear the air. But she's on the defensive with big powerful Bo shoving her back with heavy single punches flying towards her head. Hilary is on the move to try to dodge any and all punches that are coming her way as Bo looks to corner her to finish this. Bo does find some success as she knocks her opponent back with a stiff straight before connecting to the body with some arcing hooks. Hilary can be heard gasping as the blows thud to her body, she pulls Bo onto her to stop the punches but now she has Bo pressed onto her with her mammoth jugs rubbing into her own big bust. The ref gets them apart once again, Hilary escapes a safe distance and she seems to be fully focused on the fight again as she fires a double jab to knock Bo back a step. Bo doesn't look too fazed as she keeps trying to plough forward again instead she's being met with some hard counter punches to her face. The bell rings not long after and Bo has some blood trickling from her lips as on closer inspection the bottom lip is cut out. Stephanie is straight to work on that injury, while Bo shuts her eyes to show how sort it is as the effects of this fight are really starting to show, with her cheeks puffy especially her right cheek. Hilary has her face washed as blood still runs down her cheek as her face looks swollen too and her body is starting to bruise from all the jackhammer type shots she's taken to it.

Round 6:
Hilary is back into fighting mode it seems as Bo is getting rocked by the quicker woman as Hilary is slamming her jab repeatedly into the right eye of her opponent. Bo looks hurt as she winces with each punch and her eye is beginning to swell shut as Hilary has a game plan to shut the powerful Serbian
down. Stephanie looks almost in as much pain as Bo is as she winces each time Bo is getting clipped to the face now. The Maryland girl causes a cut under Bo's right eye to add to her opponents worries then clips her to the chin to show her raw power as Bo is rocked to the ropes. The Belgrade fighter is digging in to try and fight her way back into this contest, it's oblivious that she is a wounded fighter now as she gets more punches slammed into that right. Bo clinches up and Hilary doesn't seem in a hurry to shove her off as she must believe she's got this in the bag. As they are separated again, Bo tries to backpedal but is caught to her chin again and has jelly legs before she latches onto Hilary again to stop herself falling. The bell rings and Bo looks a mess with her right eye nearly shut, blood coming from her cut lip and under said eye but she proudly stands up as straight as she can. Hilary looks stunned that Bo can still be able to that, most women would have collapsed by now in a heap in tears.

Round 7:
Both fighters do come out as Stephanie's face tells a story as she looks worried and before the bell she was in furious discussion with her fighter about maybe fighting another day. But Bo is a warrior, she won't give up so easily if given the choice and she is trying to make a fight of this but Hilary is too dominant at this stage. An uppercut to Bo's chin has her stumbling and a cruel left hook to that injured right side of Bo's face puts the big girl down. The ref begins his count with Bo flat in her side looking at Stephanie, the Queen of Los Ignobernales looks like she could burst into tears before Bo gives her a half hearted smile. Bo tries to get up at 6 by turning to her front before pushing herself to all fours but she hasn't the strength to get to her feet and almost starts crying as she hears the 10 count above her.

Winner: Hilary Rhoda KO Round 7

After:
Hilary is straight over to help Bo as Stephanie rushes into the ring to have a go at the winner for her words earlier in the fight. Bo looks at Hilary as she's helped to her knees with an expression of "I thought you think I'm a cow" but Rhoda is apologizing, saying she didn't mean it, that it was nerves, the heat of the fight. But before she knows it Stephanie has her by her hair and the two women are up in each others faces shouting at each other. Melanie rushes in to back up her fighter and now the two big powerful older women are nose to nose with eyes full of fire.

Bo shouts "stop Steph, I forgive Hilary for stupid moment" Hilary smiles at Bo who adds "but I can't be friend with girl who would say that, even by accident"

Hilary nods as she accepts that but still helps Bo to her stool as Stephanie still gives her a hard look, even bumping into Hilary as she goes back to her corner, making the two powerhouses stare off before Rhoda goes to the ring center to get her hand raised.

Melanie hugs Hilary afterwards while telling her how proud she is of her as the American looks like she could cry but holds it together to just smile. Bo leaves the ring to a loud cheer as Stephanie acts like a crutch to keep her up as she walks to the locker rooms.

Hilary leaves not long after but gets asked before she leaves from a journalist "what is the next move in your career?" Answering quickly, Hilary says "well if Karlie Kloss can rip her way through this division, why can't I, hell Bo could if she wanted to" Smiling she adds "not to be the spokeswoman for this division but I think this is going to be the most competitive in the organization and I aim to be on the top" Melanie drags her away with promises of champagne and a nice rest on a couch after that hard fought win.
