Intro: The opening contest of this card in the Wells Fargo Centre in Philadelphia, sees unbeaten prospect Hilary Rhoda take on comedian Amy Schumer. Both are big hitters, which is way Hilary reportedly wanted this fight, to prove she can go head to head with a strong hitter that is further up the rankings. Hilary is currently 3 and 0 in her career, all by knockout as she recently crushed Kristanna Loken just over a week ago. Amy is 2 and 1 in her career, both wins by knockout as she looks to upset the prospect whose 4 inches taller at 5'7 and 8 years younger but she did beat Christina Hendricks only a few months ago.
At the press conference, Amy looked her usual cocky self as the two girls met face to face, grinning to the crowd more then facing Hilary, who was purely focused on the her. Asked to sit down, the two linger for a moment, staring at each other, before they decide to do as asked and sit at their tables. Amy is asked to speak first and boy does she have something to say "this is what the FCBA deems a prospect? I mean she is a model so let's rule out any brains, am I right Valmore" evidently hoping Tess Valmore is there for a laugh. Hilary seems to bristle at the comments already as Amy continues "but models are fit right?" Saying it in a mocking tone, adding "oh please, one punch off me and it's lights out on the catwalk" Hilary looks ready to talk now as Amy has to be hinted to sit down as she claims it's favouritism for her opponent. Finally getting to speak, Hilary says "look Amy, you can talk crap all you want, try to be controversial and joke all you want but it'll be put up or shut up soon and I aim to shut you the f*** up" Amy scowls at Hilary as the brunette continues "you say I'm not a prospect, I am going to love to hear what you say when your flabby ass is on the canvas" That sets Amy off as she gets up and security has to hold her back as she shouts abuse back at Hilary, who clinches her fists at her side and gives a stern look over at her future opponent, but doesn't bite back. Both are led off stage but more was to come between these two at the weight in, Hilary had weighed in at 132lbs for this fight, bulking up with muscle to meet the weight. Amy meanwhile was 160lbs, on the scales, flexing her bulker body with her arms toned up as both wore black bikinis. Coming face to face, Amy slapped Hilary after some back and forth that led to a catfight with both tugging hair and slapping away at each others bodies. Security had to step in as the bad blood was growing between these two fighters to pure hatred.
Fight night, out comes Hilary first, she gets a good sized cheer as she waves to the crowd and Lauren Berlingeri and Eva Carneiro backs her up. She is wearing a deep shade of red sports bra, matching trunks and gloves, she was barefoot at the request of Amy, who is rumoured to prefer to fight that way and her hair is braided. Entering the ring, Hilary waves to the crowd as she does a lap to gee up the fans for this fight. Amy comes out next to a loud cheer but some boos are sprinkled in as her humour isn't loved by everyone in the world. She is wearing a white sports bra, trunks and matching gloves, she also has her hair braided and is barefoot for this fight. Entering the ring, Amy cups her ear with her glove to the crowd and waves her fists up and down to get them fired up. Both fighters eyes meet and straight away they meet nose to nose, shoving each others heads with their own, coaches race to get between these big girls to make sure the fight doesn't start too soon. The referee finishes his instructions quickly and orders a glove touch, it's not a friendly tap as their gloves meet and bang together. Returning to their corners, they stare hard across the ring to each other as the referee signals for the bell to begin 10 rounds of welterweight boxing.
Round 1: Off we go, Hilary is quick to get at Amy with her jab, using her greater reach and movement to swat at the face of the blonde to try and lay a marker down. Amy though is rugged, walking through the punches to try and get to Hilary, the early going is all Hilary as those jabs are scoring with unnerving accuracy. But Amy finally bridges the gap to land two heavy handed shots over the top to Hilary's chin and the brunette has to shake them off, while trying to find space. The blonde continues her stalking attack as she uses her shoulder to press Hilary against the ropes and starts laying in body shots to cause the brunette to grunt with each shot. Hilary though shows her own raw strength by grappling with Amy in a clinch and pulling her to the ropes, before cracking her across her cheeks with two good hooks of her own. But Amy fights her way off the ropes as Hilary quickly works out that she can't fight at the blondes reach as she hasn't the power to trade punches with her. The stalking continues as Hilary throws some quick hands to the body and head of Amy but isn't slowing down her rival, which must be playing tricks with her head. Late in the round, Amy again landed a hard right, this time to the cheek of Hilary to knock her head to the side and then pounds away in the guard of the brunette, knocking her gloves back towards her face to a loud roar from the crowd. The bell rings with Amy finishing strong after starting off slowly in the fight, she flexes her right arm before she sits down to try and continue her psychological games with Hilary. Hilary is caught telling Lauren "God that bytch has two trucks for fists to go with the tyre around her stomach, I picked right for hard hitters"
Round 2: Hilary again starts off strong, that jab offence opening up a small cut on the bridge of Amy's nose to the delight of her corner. But she gets caught with a body shot that almost looks to rip her ribs out her side, Hilary looks hurt as Amy goes on the attack. Rhoda doing her best to get out of the way of the heavy hitter but she isn't firing much back as she is clearly catching her breath and ends up getting caught on the ropes. Again Amy goes to work to the body of Hilary, forcing the taller fighter to clinch up to give herself time to catch her breath, while Amy presses her body forward into Hilary's to try and stop that happening. Both are pulled apart and Amy lands a stinging jab up top as she continues to march forward, for the first time in her short career, Hilary looks worried she's bit off more then she can chew with this fight. Again Hilary is presses against a set of ropes and has to cover up as even trying to parry shots is proving a waste of time as her arms just get knocked back instead of the other way around. The crowd are watching closely as is the referee and Hilary clinches up again to give herself a chance to take stock and hopefully get the referee to pull them apart. Luckily for her he does and she quickly slams a straight into that cut on Amy's nose to start slowing her down, but like the Terminator, Amy just keeps walking forwards. But late in the round with thirty seconds to go, it's Hilary who salvages something out the round with some well placed body shots to slow down the charge. Though as the bell rings, it's clear that Schumer won that round as she continues to pose for the crowd with one fist up into the air, before her coach can fix her up. Meanwhile Hilary has some swelling forming around her left eye already from the power shots she's eaten and she sits up straight, while gulping in air recover what she lost under Amy's cyclone like fists.
Round 3: Amy this time sets the pace from the off as she powers through the jab of Hilary to work the body and sneaks some shots to the jugs to hurt Rhoda again. Pinning Hilary to the ropes under a barrage of punches, the fans for Hilary are becoming worried as Amy is proving a different kettle of fish to what she's fought up to now. Hilary manages to land a sneaky uppercut to snap Amy's head, before getting herself off the ropes to give herself space to fire out a cracking straight to that bloody nose. The cut is getting bigger but Amy doesn't loom too worried as another shot to Hilary's face rocks her back and now a cut has formed under her swelling left eye to add to her growing list of problems. Again, Hilary has to cover up and let Amy punch herself out but her own arms have to be sore as the strength of Schumer eats away at her defences. Clinching up, Hilary is starting to play a dangerous game to try and counteract Amy's power, it worked for Ali. Hilary gets her space to work the body of Amy, who is starting to show some effects after being so stoic in the early rounds to pain. Her face is curling up into a grimace as Hilary cracks two good hooks to the side of the body of Amy, but Schumer gains control of the round again with a pounding left punch to reel Hilary towards a corner. Luckily for Hilary, she steps out of the way of a haymaker attempt that would most likely have put her down and fires in four unanswered body shots, before Amy shoves her away. Late in the round, Amy hammers a straight to the guard of Hilary and then sneaks a body blow to hurt Hilary once more. The Maryland native fires back with a quick thrown flurry that Amy just steps out of the way of and again cracks Hilary to that bad eye to force her onto the ropes. The bell rings as it seems she is going for the finish and Amy has to settle for another round as she doesn't joke around this time. Instead she barks at her coach to get her nose fixed as he ices her marked up body to numb the pain there. Hilary shuts her eyes as Eva works on her left eye to clean it up and try to keep the swelling down, Lauren seems to be warning Hilary to keep fully focused on the task at hand.
Round 4: Hilary is looking to halt the momentum of Amy, firing some harsh shots over the guard of Amy to knock her head side to side. Amy though fires back and knocks Hilary into a corner and looks to walk in to end it now. But Hilary again comes out all guns brazing, hooks cracking Amy in her body to force air from the lungs of the comedian. Amy lands a hard left though to the nose of Hilary to cause blood to trickle from her nostril and then knocks her back to a set of ropes on the other side of the ring with a straight punch. Back and forth goes the round as Amy dominants the inside fighting, while Hilary works hard on the outside when she gets her chances. The crowd is enthralled by the action in front of them, tactics are playing a big part in this fight and from that stand point, it looks like Hilary is winning as Amy's power isn't having the effect it was in the earlier rounds. But Hilary may be too hurt to take advantage of her weakened state, blood trickles down her face from two places and Amy again late in the round knocks her to the ropes. Each fighter trades as Hilary tries to bob her way out the way of Amy's shots but is stuck by a hard right hook that forces her to clinch up with Amy and looks to be using her to stay up. The final thirty seconds come and after the referee separates them, Hilary gets caught to her nose with a jab and she has to throw wild shots to keep Amy from being able to land something else till the bell rings. Amy returns to her corner and her body is drenched in sweat and her face continues to have blood flowing from her cut nose, bruising is forming on her body. Hilary looks wrecked in her own way, blood runs from a cut under her left eye and her nostrils, her left eye is swollen and her cheeks are swollen as well, neither is going to look sexy after this fight.
Round 5: Out come the fighters, both are hurt as the pace slows down as they start off with single shots through the others guard. Hilary does throw a few more good body shots to cause Amy to stop for a second and then starts landing some good hooks up top to rock the blonde back a few steps. For the first real time in this fight, Amy looks in danger as she gets pressed back and Hilary smells blood but it's short lived. Amy fires back to knock Hillary back several steps, the New Yorker is drilling her back with some hard shots of her own. Down goes Hilary half way through the round! The crowd start up as this is the first time in her short career she has been down, the first real gut check for her. Amy shouts "bytch stand down!" Before heading to a neutral corner, the referee begins his count as replays show a right hook caught Hilary hard and her legs turned to mush as she fell to her side. The count reaches 7 as Hilary pushes herself up to beat it at 8 to a loud cheer from the crowd, the referee checks her over as she shakes her head. Amy lifts her blood stained gloves up and looks at Hilary with hungry in her eyes to go out and finish this fight. Coming forward, Hilary covers up to deflect as much as she can from her foes power strikes, her gloves being knocked around till she can clinch up. Seconds are ticking away for Amy to land the finishing blow as Hilary is doing anything to survive, clinching, even getting Amy into a front head lock, which gets a warning from the referee. Amy is getting desperate as she can't open up and knock out Rhoda, instead the brunette shocks the crowd somewhat by fighting back with several short digs to the stomach of the blonde. Now Amy started to lean on Hilary as the round was coming to an end, the two fighters looked like they were in a tender embrace but the looks on their faces showed the determination both had to winning this contest. The bell rings not long after with the two fighters heads hanging down and they slowly make there way back to their corners. Amy isn't grinning anymore but looks to be in a commanding position, while Hilary shuts her eyes with Eva trying to fix her up.
Round 6: Hilary is fighting for her life by the looks of it, Amy is moving as quickly as she can to close up the space to land something meaningful. But the Maryland babe is working well behind a jab, keeping the range as she gets out of the way of the charging bull in front of her. Amy is grimacing under she shot and her poker face is disappearing at this late stage in the fight from all the beating her nose and bodies taken. Finally getting Hilary on the ropes, Rhoda fights her way into position to clinch, Amy is definitely getting frustrated judging by how red her face is getting. Separated, Amy quickly lands a hard jab and Hilary puts her fist up to take some of the sting of a hard right hook out. But she still feels the effects and wobbles back towards the ropes, Amy smiles blood again as she comes forward. Hilary shocks her though with a flurry off the ropes that snaps Amy's head around and forces the action back towards the centre of the ring. Amy shoves Hilary back but as she goes for a right overhand right late in the round, Hilary leans out of the way and as Schumer is overextended, a shot cracks her in her liver area. Down goes Amy this time! As she lands on all fours and looks in deep trouble, Hilary goes to a corner as the referee begins his count. Amy's fans are willing her up as she can be heard wheezing, but to loud cheers, now it's Schumer who beats the count at 8 to the delight of fans. The referee checks her over and Amy tells him she can continue but she looks to still be hurt as the fight is ordered to continue. Hilary comes in and the fighters get back to work but it's not long till another two shots eat away at that same spot that puts Amy down again. This time as she falls to all fours, she rolls to her back and cradles her belly as Hilary gets to a neutral corner and stares down at Amy with unforgiving eyes. The referees count is pointless as Amy stays down for the count to 10 and this hard fought affair is over.
Winner: Hilary Rhoda KO Round 6
After: Just wow! What a dramatic end to the fight as Amy lays on her back looking angrily at the lights, while Hilary looks down at her rival. But it doesn't look to be over yet as Hilary tells Lauren to get her gloves off quickly and after the coach does as asked, the winner heads to over to Amy. "You said I was dumb and all that other shit right Amy" says Hilary as she places a knee either side of Amy's stomach and then takes her rivals gloves off. Amy tries to fight back but quickly her arms are pinned above her head by the victor as their hands are locked together tight. "You f***ing bytch, now so talkative now right! If I wanted to hurt you badly humiliate you beyond repair, I could, instead though I want you to remember what happened in this ring" says Hilary as Amy tries to power her arms up but her strength has been sapped by the body shots. "I took your best and I got up and kicked your ass, now look at you, I'm pinning you don't because I'm the better woman, not because of what I do but who I am, never forget this day bytch" taunts Hilary as she moves her knees forward to pin Amy's arms down and raises her arms up. Cameras flash as photos are taken off this moment, Hilary never breaks eye contact with Amy as she wants this message to stay in the blondes mind for the rest of time. A several moments, Hilary gets up but makes sure to give one last pose, placing her foot on Amy's chest, she finishes by saying "anytime bytch" Leaving the ring, Hilary might be regretting taking this fight as she has Mandy Moore to worry about in several weeks on PPV and she is going to be missing a day or two or serious training after this brawl. Amy meanwhile will not be hurt by this performance, just the result as she is helped from the ring and will be hoping she can get more action next year to earn a rematch with Hilary soon.
