SASHA PIETERSE VS HAILEE STENFIELD

Story: Archer     Results: Lookout

Sasha: 20 YO, 5’6 (1.67 m) 8-7-0 since 2014, Pretty Little Punchers Inc.
Hailee: 19 YO. 5’7 (1.70 m) 0-2-0 since 2016, Fighting Academy

Before:  “I like it that Hailee is a little taller than me,” Sasha Pieterse confidently tells the press in pre-fight. “It never hurts to develop the ability to beat someone bigger than you are. Of course, beating someone who has yet to win a fight around here won’t be all that impressive, but I am not one to turn down a ‘W’ on my fight record. So try to hang with me for a while. Hailee, I don’t want this to look like a ‘squash’ job.”

Hailee glaring at the smirking blonde from her seat down the table, can’t wait for her turn to address the assembled press:  “I can’t deny I haven’t won yet, but that doesn’t mean I can’t beat an arrogant blonde twit like her!” (She points an indignant finger at Sasha).

“Hey! Watch your mouth, brunette bimbo! I may be arrogant but I am NOT a blonde twit!” Sasha fires back.’

“Don’t you dare all me a bimbo!” Hailee retorts with heat.

“How about I just call you ‘loser’? You can’t deny that’s a fact!” ripostes Sasha.

“I will make you call me ‘winner’ when I get done with you!” warns the incensed Hailee.

“When I get done with you—expect to be seeing only stars because you’ll be stretched out on those long legs knocked silly by me!” Sasha replies.

Hailee seems a bit flustered at having the mouthy blonde compliment her impressive stems, but finally she blurts out” “You’ll be the one looking up my legs from the canvas after I’ve KO;d you!”

“Well, one is going to get a good view—and it’s going to me!” Sasha replies with a self-assured smirk.

Hailee glowers at the blonde and snaps: “We’ll all just see about that!”

Hot feelings still hanging between the two young fighters on fight night. Sasha is in a silver and white one piece with silver gloves and boots, Hair neatly piled up on her head. She has that infuriating smirk aimed right at Hailee as they stand between the referee for instructions. Hailee is in a black one-piece with white gloves and boots (black laces). Hair in a long battle braid down her back. She gives Sasha the most withering glare she can manage though the smaller blonde just keeps that smirk. Referee looks nervous, but manages to keep things under control. However the gloves SMACK together rather than touch. Both fighters seemed pleased with this and march off to their respective corners clearly eager to start punching.

R1: Sasha on the attack early and Hailee has to work to hold the blonde off. Sasha bobbing and weaving, circling, alternately striking at Hailee’s head and body. Hailee trying to bob and weave herself to make herself a more elusive target, but Sasha gradually landing a steady stream punches that are vexing, if not hurting Hailee. Hailee then gets a good jab going and Sasha finds herself getting smacked to the face and chest. This causes Sasha to pull of out range, but then head back in, trying to evade Hailee’s counters. Sasha working hard to the bell manages to win the round by a narrow margin, but Hailee’s looking defiant and Sasha scowls at this.

R2: Hailee certainly came out with aggression as the second round got underway. She struck first at Sasha’s chest and stomach, then lifted some nice uppercuts into the blonde’s chin. Sasha seemed dazed by these opening blows, but she hung in and soon had her jab going to counter the brunette’s advance. Hailee shifting her feet nicely, but Sasha able to keep up with her. Action grew very close as Hailee continued to press forward, but Sasha stubbornly resisting. Then Hailee got some strong hooks into Sasha’s belly clearly stunning her and then some follow-up uppercuts to the chin. Sasha backed covering up as Hailee was able to secure a close round late.

R3: Hailee out very quick and swats Sasha with some very quick rights and lefts to Sasha’s head. (Impacts shaking loose tendrils of blonde locks from Sasha’s piled up hair). As Sasha’s guard coms up, Hailee pounds blonde belly meat and makes Sasha double from the impacts. Sasha trying to protect her face, but Hailee bouncing more lefts and rights off unguarded skull. Sasha backing up, hunched over, as Hailee tries to shove her back to the ropes. Sasha managing to get a jab going, but it doesn’t slow down Hailee’s pounding. Hailee dancing around the defensive Sasha just firing away to the bell. Sasha now has hair coming down on her face as the elaborate top knot has pretty much collapsed.  Bruised, sweat dripping down her face, Sasha looking stunned as Hailee gives her a look of contempt before marching to her own corner.

R4: Repair work in PLP corner includes a hasty constructed ponytail to keep Sasha hair out of her face. Trainer Nia Peeples seen talking urgently to Sasha. Hailee looking relaxed and chatty on her stool seems eager to get back at it with the blonde. However Sasha seems to have recovered quite as bit as she greets the incoming with smashing right to the mouth and a follow up left to the bridge of the nose. Hailee stunned by the shots and slow to react as Sasha stuffs a couple of hooks into the Stenfield breadbasket. How it’s Hailee backing up all hunched over and trying to cover her ache was Sasha (smiling, she’s enjoying this) banging away with left and right shots to the head. Hailee on the run at least shows she can fight some backing up as she gets her jab into play and uses it make Sasha struggle a bit. However it is Sasha in control through the round and no one is surprised she takes it by a wide margin.

R5:  Sasha not letting up as she seeks to build on her success in the previous round, but Hailee has recovered sufficiently to engage her in close in action. Sasha’s initial charge is halted as Hailee’s fierce jab sank deep into her breasts and stomach. Sasha shifting her feet struck back at Hailee’s torso, grinding her way forward, finally get hooks into Hailee’s chin. Hailee rattled, falls back, but quickly contests when Sasha follows. Sasha and Hailee now swatting each other’s heads. Sasha shifting back to the belly gets some solid hooks into Hailee’s midsection. Hailee stepping back, but still fighting hard as the round ends. Sasha able to grind out a close, but well-earned round.

R6: Sasha launches a furious attack in the opening moments of the round. She just swarms Hailee landing lefts and rights with reckless abandon. Hailee struggling to cope at first, but she doesn’t panic and is able to use that jab to punish the aggressive blonde. Sasha not seeming to care as her face is increasingly smashed up as long she can get her own leather into Hailee’s jaw. The intensity blazes as the first two minutes tick by and Hailee seems to be slowly retreating under Sasha’s all-in attack. Then Hailee drops down, a Sasha right whistles over her head and then the brunette pops up with  CRASHING UPPERCUT TO THE CHIN. SASHA THROWN ONTO HER BUTT! Sasha sits there for a moment with a “no one is home” look in her eyes and then swoons onto her back, arms out-flung.
Hailee smiling broadly as she skips to the neutral corner. Then a look of concern as Sasha starts to show signs of recovery, pushing herself up into a sitting position, but then Hailee smiles again as Sasha is unable to do anything more as the count goes on “…NINE…TEN… YOU’RE OUT!” The bell rings...
THE WINNER: HAILEE STENFIELD KO6

After: Hailee impatient as her gloves are removed and then she heads over to the PLP corner. Sasha is sitting on her stool, holding her head, but looks up as she sees Hailee looming over her, arms on hips.

“I can’t believe you beat me!” Sasha blurts out with genuine wonder.

“I did! On your feet! You earned this!” Hailee says grabbing Sasha’s right arm to haul her up!

“Hey! I’m coming! I’m coming!” Sasha complains.

This marks Hailee Stenfield’s first win so her first victor’s Walk of Shame is one she especially savors. The unfortunate Sasha Pieterse finds herself marched along the ring, a hammerlock on her right arm, then having to stop so Hailee can pose for pictures. Sasha looking sadder and sadder as this goes on and on (or so it seems). Tears are running down her cheeks as Hailee turns her over to a stone-faced Nia Peeples.

“Don’t cry, Li’l Sasha, you’ll live get over this—maybe,” Hailee taunts.

“I’m crying because I messed up and let you win,” Sasha snapped wiping at the tear tracks.

Hailee just laughed: “You tell yourself that, loser! It still ended you on your ass and me!”

“All right, Hailee,” Nia Peeples said sternly, “get back to your own corner. I need to get Sasha out of here.”

“I guess you, see ya around Sasha,’ Hailee said mockingly

“You bet you will!”: Sasha snapped. “It isn’t over between us.”

So Hailee Stenfield gets her first FCBA win at the expense of Sasha Pieterse. It was a close back and forth bout until Sasha got reckless in R6 and paid the ultimate price. Was it just her opponent’s mistakes that got Hailee her first win? She’s probably just satisfied she’s got the win, but she;’ll need to show it was not just a “lucky punch” win. For Sasha Pieterse this was bitter loss and we’ll see how she bounces back from the setback.
