(Girls Friday vs Free Agent)

Intro:
Behati Prinsloo makes her debut in the FCBA , in fact in celeb boxing as a whole as she takes on the experienced Laura Prepon.
Behati is from Namibia but now resides in America as a Victoria Secret model so you know she is super fit as their models go through tough workouts to become truly supermodels.
Boxing is especially a favourite of the models with the likes of Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen and many others using it to stay in shape and they've forged great careers in the FCBA.
Of Course Laura hopes that Behati fails as she needs a major win to restart her career after several management changes and losses have dented her reputation.
But Laura still comes into this fight with a record of 13 wins and 22 losses, so she is experienced enough to give Behati a shock if the door is left open for one.
Her last fight was in 2013 though, so ring rust might prove to be too much in the case of this fight for the 36 year old Laura.

Each fighter held an open training session in different gyms in New York city to show how each girl looked in the build up to the fight.
Both looked ready for war as they sparred with local female fighters and looked great against them but it's the actual fight that counts.
Each made a statement after their sessions, with Laura saying "this fight is my return ticket to where I belong, people have praised me but until I actually step into a ring and pound some faces in, I will not be the girl people see me as, I'll be just a shell of what could have been"
After being extremely honest about herself, she says about Behati "I am looking forward to fighting this bytch near my hometown, she stepped into the wrong part of the world to fight me"
Behati after her session looks cool and collected as she gives her assessment of the welterweights "I saw Kate Upton has won the FCBA title at the last PPV, she is leading a new era in welterweight boxing and I want to be on that train to stardom"
Talking about Laura, she says "Laura is old school right? She thinks I am afraid to fight her in her backyard but if Laura wanted to actually fight in her actual backyard, I would have because I am not afraid of anyone in this league"

The fight is held in an old ballroom in New York's Hell's Kitchen, it has been transformed with a boxing ring in the centre, an aisle for fighters to walk down and tables surrounding the ring as men and women are dressed to the nines for this V.I.P event.
Out comes Behati first to a round of applause as this isn't your usual FCBA crowd who'd be blowing the roof off, it will be interesting to see when the fighting starts, if they start cheering.
The model struts to the ring wearing a leopard print bikini and has red gloves as she acts like she is on a runway, posing for some guests before jogging up the steps and climbing into the ring.
She does a lap of the ring and pumps her right fist as she goes to a loud clap from some in the crowd, while most silently seat and judge her against what they know of Laura.
A loud cheer echo's as Laura arrives in a zebra print bikini and is wearing black gloves to go with it as she nods and smiles to friends and family in the crowd.
She climbs into the ring and bows to each side to show her thanks for all of their support, till Behati is face to face with her.
Both girls look each other up and down, secretly admitting to themselves "wow she is hot and in great shape"
But both bump body to body and the referee has to separate the two before the punches start flying as the fighters stare each other down.
Each woman is giving a second to calm down as both are excited and nervous at the same time to be here.
The referee reads his final instructions out and Laura can be heard saying "welcome to my jungle" as she raises her arms at her sides to point at the crowd.
Behati replies "I am the queen of any jungle bytch, so get the gloves up and let's go right now"
The referee again calms both girls down and asks for a glove touch, both women glare at each other but are respectful of each other enough to slam their gloves into their opponents.
Each fighter returns to their corners to get their gumshields in and the referee checks his watch before signalling for the fight to begin in the welterweight division.

Round 1:
Both fighters using their range to spike a jab onto the others guard early as they test out each other, each has a similar reach so neither has an advantage in that way.
But Laura is working her jab better, moving her targeting up and down to find open space to connect her punches the cleaner of the two early on.
Behati looks nervous as she seems to be holding back as Laura works around her in the first minute of the round till a hard right hook to her body seems to wake her up.
The Namibian starts to throw some good combos, most hitting the guard of Laura but the ones that connect are pushing Prepon back.
Laura quickly readjusts to bob and weave her way through to get a good body shot on Behati before she ducks a returning shot over her head.
Again she lands another good body shot to Behati as Laura looks to be showing some of her old form before she gets caught by a right hook on her way out of danger.
Both begin to dance around the other once again as they exchange single punches till Laura again buoyed by the crowd drives forward with a faint jab then slams to the body again.
That nine year age difference is evidently playing into the mind of Laura as she is trying to wear out Behati early on.
But Behati isn't going that easily and strikes a hard straight over the top of the guard of Laura late in the round to snap the New Jersey natives head back.
Before Behati digs her way in to the body of Prepon in revenge with the two exchanging a late flurry of punches till the bell.
Both girls exchange a quick hard stare before bumping shoulders to cross past the other to head back to their corners.

Round 2:
Seeming to shake her nerves off, Behati is quicker to engage now and is seeking out Laura now with stiff jabs parting the gloves of the redhead to get to the face.
Laura looking worried by the strength of Prinsloo as she is forced onto her back foot to fight, just being able to land some good punches.
But the volume of punches she is getting is rattling Laura now and blood is already coming from the nose to match her hair colour as she has to shake this off to fight back.
Each fighter goes at it, each scores hard shots on the other with clean crisp punches as they show that training has paid off in one respect at the least.
Laura finds herself eating too much leather though and flicks her jab out to create some distance, as they exchange single punches once again till the crowd favourite can work on the outside.
Prepon lands a good right and left hook to show she is definitely still in this fight and the next set of punches exchanged, she lands the best punch with a hard left hook to force Prinsloo back a step.
But it's to open up her options and Behati cracks her just under her jugs with a right hook of her own to visibly hurt Laura.
Laura guards that side of her body, that leaves her head open though and she eats a big jab and hook that wobbles her legs, forcing her to clinch up to allow her time to shake the cobwebs from her head.
The referee pulls the two apart and Laura quickly escapes into space to give herself time to get back into this fight.
Late on she manages to land a double jab that buys her some more time as she waits for the bell and reaches it to the relief of the crowd and herself.
Behati has a wide smile on her face as she bumps her glove with her coach as they pat her on the back for a great round.

Round 3:
Laura is now fully focused on the task in front of herself as she knows she can't afford her opponent time to get confident or she'll be flat out on the canvas.
Using her footwork, while she hasn't the speed of Behati, she is letting her waste energy with misses as she steps out of range when Prinsloo loads up her punches.
Then she steps back in to drive a jab or straight into her opponents face and body before dancing away to safety.
Behati looks annoyed as she tries to work her way forward but is being led by her nose by the more experienced girl in front of her.
Finally she catches Laura in the middle of the round with a body shot, though she gets a hard straight to her cheek that means she can't press as she wants to.
Laura almost smiles as she keeps control of the fight with her movement but can't find a punch to really do some damage as she keeps waiting for this superfit model to wear herself out.
A right hook late in the round from Behati seems to rattle Laura once more and she shoves her to the ropes before pounding two more hard body shots to hurt Prepon.
The redhead sighs her relief once again as the bell rings but even a round she mostly dominated ends with her getting caught.
Laura tries to stay fired up but as Behati stares at her, she seems afraid to stare back and instead seems to want to find comfort from the crowd, who all look worried by what they are seeing.

Round 4:
Back at it they go, Laura trying to keep control early on with her footwork but quickly gets smacked to her nose that starts bleeding at a faster rate.
Laura is scrapping as best she can as the crowd is behind her, she cracks Behati to the body with some great body shots.
But she eats a straight through the centre to her nose that snaps her head back and her legs wobble once again to silence anyone cheering in the crowd.
Laura is beaten to the ropes with a barrage of punches and an uppercut to the hurt redhead makes her slump down the ropes to the canvas.
Her eyes shut as she reaches the ground as the referee looks to start his count but seeing that Laura is out of it, he waves for the bell to end the fight.

Winner: Behati Prinsloo KO Round 4

After:
Behati looks down at the crumpled body of Laura, who looks almost blissful in her knocked out state and then it hits her that she has actually won.
She rushes to hug her coaches and fights back tears of joy as she is in heaven right now.
An impressive win for her debut against a girl with a big following in the FCBA managers isn't a bad way to start and warrants such a reaction.
For Laura, she is woken up by the ringside doctor and is in hell when she finds out she lost in such a painful way.
She can be seen staring into the crowd and looking ashamed that she lost in front of the most important people in her life.
Behati comes over to help her up but Laura doesn't look interested in any talk of "tough luck" "you gave me a great fight"
She just wanted to go to the back, so not in a nasty way, she pushed the hand that Behati had on her shoulder away and ruefully just nodded before saying "good luck in future"
Laura left the ring to a loud cheer and her family were seen up, rushing to help her to the back and to console her.
Behati as told by her handlers tonight made a hasty exit after giving the crowd a quick applause after her gloves were taken off, as the crowd didn't seem interested to really celebrate her win.

On her social media accounts, Behati said "Laura may not believe me but I do respect her, sometimes the trash talk is real but with her it was purely for the business side and it was an honour to debut against her"
Continuing with "but now it's on to the next opponent, I aim to continue to be part of the #welterrevolution, so let's see how far I can go!"
