(Free Agent vs Free Agent)
Intro: Two of the highest paid models in the world do battle here tonight, originally a PPV bout, Gisele had to change those plans as she got offered a Ice queen title bout at the next PPV against Swan, so now the fight takes place in Paris, France. Kendall this year became the third highest paid model, joint with fellow rising star in and out of the ring Karlie Kloss. While Gisele has reined at the top of that list for well over twelve years and doesn't seem likely to lose that title for the next few years. But inside the ring was a possible different matter, Kendall was the New Blood lightweight champion of this year and wanted to jump over Gisele in the rankings. But Gisele has fought and beaten the best, to channel a certain wrestling manager, she was the 1 in Miranda Kerr near perfect record, she is a former queen of the ice hotel.
As the fighters met at the press conference, while they had worked together, neither would class the other as a friend as they knew that the other was a massive rival. Shaking each others hand to show respect, more experienced eyes of these events could see that they were tightening the grip to test each other out and send a message. In fact an organiser of this event had to tell both that they needed to go to their tables. Releasing each others hand, they still give each other a hint of a glare, journalists are waiting for a spark to set the two girls off. But they do finally go to their tables and Kendall is asked to speak first as she stands up and gives a warm smile to the cameras. "Let me start by saying that Gisele is an icon of my business, she's ruled the roost and I would lie if I said me and her have had problems on a set" says Kendall showing her respective side. Before she changes her tone to say "but I am after showing that I don't just call myself Queen for nothing, Gisele is in my way and I aim to claim her throne game of thrones style!" Gisele stares at Kendall and slowly shakes her head before she is told it is her chance to speak. "Listen Kendall, of your family, I respect you the most as you actually seem genuine but that doesn't mean that I am going to simply play nice with you" says Gisele with a threatening tone to her voice. She continues "I have worked damn hard to get to where I am, not so I can let people like you get over me without a fight." "Oh you'll get a fight!" Replies Kendall as the two women's eyes meet and if looks could kill, there would be two bodies on the floor right now. Asked to stand and face off, each girl quickly gets into the face of the other towering woman as they touch nose to nose. Eyes burning holes through the other as cameras record this moment as the psyching out process begins. Again they have to be reminded to step away from each other as they are secretly wishing the other would start something. Instead they step away from each other and decide to wait till the world is watching live on TV.
Fight night in the AccorHotels Arena, Paris, Kendall Jenner comes out first with Bella Hadid by her side. She is wearing a white robe and has red gloves on as she struts down to the ring like only a supermodel can do. Climbing into the ring, she waves to each side of the cheering crowd and she looks excited to be here. Bella helps her with her robe and off it comes to show she is wearing a white sports bra and tight lyrca workout shorts, to complete the look she has red shoes and bright red lipstick. Out comes Gisele now with her friend and fellow Brazilian Monera Baccarin by her side as she wears a pink robe and gloves. Gisele stares into the ring before she says something to Monera with both sharing a smile. After she enters the ring, Monera helps Gisele with her robe to reveal a pink sports bra and lyrca workout shorts, she completes the look with matching gloves and shoes. Asked to come to the ring centre, each fighter gives the other a hard glare as they can't wait for that bell to ring. The referee asks for a glove touch and both bump gloves hard to show the other how hard they plan on hitting. Returning to their corners, each gets their gumshields in, before the referee signals for the belm to start 10 rounds of lightweight boxing.
Round 1: Off we go as both girls are out their corners with tight guards, not much difference in height so the early going is pretty even as they jab away at each others defence. Kendall scores the first real punch of the fight with a faint up top before cracking a right hook to the body of Gisele. Gisele fires back with three punches, two jabs and a straight to shove Kendall back before she can connect once more with that right. Coming back towards the ring centre, Gisele seems to realise that even with her experience, she can not take Kendall lightly as she starts bobbing out of the way of Kendall's punches and counter punching her. Kendall looks puzzled as she tries to work out how to get at Gisele, she goes to work on the body but this time the Brazilian cracks her with a right hook over the top and a fellow up straight to force Kendall to take a step back. Kendall uses her speed to press Gisele towards the ropes with quick fire punches. But again, Gisele uses her experience to dodge a straight and shove Kendall onto the ropes. Then she jabs at the American, before going down to the body of Kendall to lash two hard hooks of her own around the guard. Kendall pulls Gisele into a clinch, both girls lash at the others kidneys in close till the referee gets involved to separate the two. Kendall moves off the ropes quickly to jab at Gisele but it's Bundchen who looks to be more relaxed with her hands connecting more cleanly. With thirty seconds to go, both fighters stand and trade to a loud cheer as they seek to leave a lasting mark it seems. The bell rings and both girls hold back to stare at each other hard before returning to their corners.
Round 2: Out they come again and Gisele uses her experience to jab away at Kendall and lead her around the ring by her nose. The youngster can't get her punches to land cleanly yet because Gisele is disrupting her with cleaner punches. Kendall gets backed up with a hard straight over the top of her guard and just ducks a right hook to save her head being taken off her shoulders. Kendall finally this round slams a good double jab to disrupt Gisele for a moment and an uppercut just misses Gisele. But Gisele clinches up with Kendall to stop her momentum, Kendall looks annoyed as she tries to get free, it takes the referee to pull them apart. Gisele slams a right hook to knock Kendall's head to the side and gets back to her body with two lashing hooks to either side. Kendall winces as she steps back and tries to work with a jab to try and measured Gisele up. But again Gisele lands the better punches, leaning back to dodge a hard punch to land another straight punch back. Kendall has some swelling to her cheeks to show the punishment she's taken early on. The bell rings and Gisele nods to her coach and Morena, who both tell her how well she is doing. Kendall is kept calm by having Bella in her corner as her coach tells her how they can change up the game plan to get at Gisele.
Round 3: Gisele continues to keep Kendall from getting up any head of steam with her punching accuracy. No rush from Bundchen as she rifles away with her jab as more an annoyance then a real power shot. Kendall keeps missing her and Gisele is smirking as she keeps working her way forward. Kendall is trying to outmaneuver her but Gisele keeps moving on one foot to keep her in her view. As the round went on though, Kendall was starting to sneak in a punch to the body of Gisele, who was looking annoyed. But with less than a minute to go, Kendall found her way through, Gisele dodged a punch that didn't come and as she tried to counter, she found a right hook cracked her and Gisele wobbled. Seeing her chance, Kendall drives forward with a barrage of punches slamming into the face of Gisele to rattle her backwards. Down goes Gisele! Late in the round and Kendall jogs back to a neutral corner to let the referee count. The referee is up to six before Gisele shoves her way up and blood is running down her face as a cut has been opened under her left eye. The referee checks her over and let's the fight continue as the bell rings not long after, Kendall gives an angry look at Gisele, as if blaming her for the bell ringing, showing how much Gisele frustrated her up till the knockdown. Gisele gets checked over by the doctor to see if she can continue, he nods she can as the coach works to fix her up and all that confident in that corner is gone.
Round 4: Gisele is covering up that eye as Kendall now comes forward on the front foot much more self assured that she has her opponent hurt. She focuses a little too much on trying to get at that cut, allowing Gisele to counterpunch again successfully. But quickly Kendall changes her target to work the body of Gisele, trying to get that guard to come down. Gisele does her best to try and force Kendall back with straight punches that miss as Kendall steps back out the way before lashing back with her own double jab. Gisele is finding herself forced back and while she is keeping calm, she isn't finding a way to control the American now. Jenner is working her way forward with some cracking hooks to that body, with Bundchen stuck to the ropes now. Gisele is fighting her way off the ropes but Kendall is fighting to keep her on the ropes, leading to a vicious exchange from both fighters. The older fighter clinches up to stop the assault she's under to force the referee to pull the two apart. As they are pulled apart, Gisele manages to fire off a right hook to the ribs of Kendall to slow her down. Now it looks like Gisele will find her control again but Kendall lulls her into a false sense of security. The youngster lands an uppercut through the guard of Gisele to send blood and sweat into the air and Bundchen is hurt badly again. As Kendall goes for the kill again, Gisele manages to hang on till the bell seems to save her once more. Gisele shakes her head to her corner as the blood runs down her left cheek from that cut. Her corner is quick to work on it again as the doctor watches closely to see if it fits their requirements. Kendall gets her faced washed but other than some puffiness around her face, she looks the much healthier of the fighters.
Round 5: The doctor checks Gisele's cheek for that cut and allows her to count again, showing she has a good coach beside her. But Kendall is right onto her straight from the bell as she starts with her jab to keep Gisele's guard up now so she can then slam to the body. Gisele looks out of ideas after being so dominant in the first two and a half rounds. Now Jenner is working quickly, stepping side to side to sneak punches around the guard. Gisele tries to swing some hard punches to get something going for herself. But again Kendall moves out the way and lands a stinging counter straight to that cut that makes Gisele yelp in pain. Gisele shuts her eyes as she grimaces and Kendall steps forward quickly to again just throw everything and the kitchen sink at her. An uppercut snaps Gisele's head back and down goes the Brazilian in a heap with her eyes shut. The referee begins to count but it's clear she is out cold, the ref waves the fight off at 7 as he sees no movement and waves the doctor into the ring.
Winner: Kendall Jenner KO Round 5
After: Kendall pumps her fist to the crowd, who show their appreciation of a beautiful knock out. Gisele is being checked over by medics as Morena quickly comes in to check she is going to be OK and is relieved when she wakes up. Kendall gets a hug from Bella as the two best friends celebrate as if Kendall just won the world title. But beating Gisele is a big moment in any young fighters career, so Kendall is bouncing off the walls with happiness. Gisele has to be carried out as she is too weak to make it out the arena under her own steam and is stretchered out. Any hopes it seems of dethroning Serinda Swan and beating her for a third straight time looks nigh on impossible right now looking at this sight.
Kendall meanwhile signs a few autographs at ring side and takes pictures with some young fans. In the back, an interviewer asks her how she feels, Kendall replies "I knew I could do it but it feels so amazing to beat a legend of my business in that ring, I hope Gisele will be OK as I don't wish her ill harm that way but I hope tonight is a sign to her that I plan on being the best model in the world" Asked about her future, she answers "well I have to learn a bit more in the ring but I feel good in my skills and hopefully as I fight good opposition I can earn my way into title fights" Finally she is asked about title fights and maybe the ice queen title, she jokingly replies "that place is too cold for me" before winking. She adds "seriously, I would take anything I was giving, I won the New Blood title in this division and I am so proud to make history, so winning the lightweight title is the pipe dream, in fact me, Karlie, Saorise and Chloe have a standing bet, which of us wins a title in our weight division first gets a party thrown by the rest" Smiling, Kendall gives the interviewer a hug and both her and Bella put an arm around each other as they walk to the locker room.
