(Girls Friday vs VIXENS)

Intro:
The next fight sees two of the future in the welterweight division fight it out here in the Wells Fargo Centre in the boxing city of Philadelphia as Behati Prinsloo fights Hannah Ferguson.
The Namibian Behati has had one fight, where she beat Laura Prepon in four rounds with a great knockout victory.
While Texan Hannah Ferguson is 4 and 0 with 4 knock outs with an impressive win over Mandy Moore just over a week ago to get herself into the top ten of the rankings.

This fight sees their undefeated careers on the line and as they meet face to face at the press conference to and looked at each other with tension etched over their faces.
Hannah seems the more confident of the two though as she edges closer to Behati to go nose to nose with her and it looks like things are going to start up between the girls.
But Behati tries to calm things down by putting her hand out for Hannah to shake and her fellow blonde laughs but has no intentions of shaking as she heads straight for her seat.
Behati is asked to speak first and she smiles warmly to the crowd, "wow Philadelphia is looking chilly but is always fun to visit"
Hannah smirks as she looks up and down her future opponent, judging her already, Behati continues saying "when we agreed this fight, Hannah was roughly at the same spot I was but damn has she been kicking ass and now I have to start catching up to her, Karlie and even my stablemate Hilary Rhoda in this new breed of fighter"
"Sorry to interrupt but that isn't happening through me" says Hannah as she flashes a cocky smile and for the first real time that night, Behati openly scowls at her opponent.
"You Hannah, we all want the same thing and while you evidently don't respect me, I will make you a believer of me and what I can do after we fight" replies Behati as she sits down.
Hannah quickly stands up, brushes her long flowing blonde hair back and says "People have named the new breed of fighters coming through the division, look at Karlie Kloss people tell me, she won the New Blood tournament, I say because I wasn't in it"
Continuing, she adds "how about Gigi Hadid, she got a title shot at Upton, I'm already miles ahead of her, Rhoda is chasing my coattails, then there is you Behati, you have the biggest mountain to climb as we have all been pushed hard and you've been beached for Hilary"
Interjecting, Behati replies "waiting for this fight to happen us what held me back, so don't try and drive a wedge anywhere bytch!"
Hannah looks like she's holding her laughter back as she's getting Behati relied up, "well you'll see how far back in the peaking order you really are soon enough"
The fighters are taken off stage as the experienced organisers can see that a fight is brewing just on stage between these girls.

Fight night, out comes Behati first with Lauren Berlingeri and Eva Carneiro next to her as coach and physio.
She's wearing a green sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves for tonight's fight as her long hair is tied into pigtails to give her an innocent look or a Haley Quinn look depending on your viewpoint.
Entering the ring to a nice cheer, Behati blows kisses to the crowd to show her thanks before she goes to warm up in her corner.
Out comes Hannah to a loud cheer as she smiles at the crowd and mouths "thank you" to them for their support.oh
She is walking down to the ring in a purple sports bra, with the rest of her gear the same purple as her bra, her hair has been braided to complete her look.
Entering the ring, she does a lap of the ring, doing short steps to her side while waving her fist to the audience and mouthing "bytch" as she goes, till she gets back to her corner.
The referee asks both girls to come to the ring center and quickly goes through his instructions as Behati is up close and personal with Hannah as they touch noses.
Hannah just smiles in reply, asked to touch gloves, there's a swift touch of gloves and both jog back to their corners.
As they get there, the referee looks at both girls, then signals for the timekeeper to ring the bell to begin 10 rounds of welterweight boxing.

Round 1:
Out come the fighter, both girls quickly score early with their jabs as they are very similar in height and reach.
Both are very similar in style, so the first round is a cagey affair between these two in the first minute, till Hannah tries to make something happen.
Lunging with a right hook, Behati dodges Hannah's attempt and lands a quick jab/straight punch combo to the side of her face.
Then she lands two good body shots to add to this drive, before Hannah connects with a solid straight to give her a chance to come back at her opponent.
Both girls exchange some cracking shots as they circle each other, trying to keel their guards tight, while working around the others gloves.
Everyone in the arena is watching the fighters closely as it's hard to judge whose coming out on top in these exchanges with their similar looks, just their attires are helping the situation.
Behati again lands a good combo late in the round, this time starting with a good left body shot, then sneaks a right hand to the side of her face to knock her head to the side.
Hannah just misses with her own reply, looking annoy as Behati dances away from her on her toes, the fighters trade till the bell rings.
Both girls stare at each other and cockily smile at each other, then head off to their corners to talk to their coaches on what to do now they have some idea on the opposition.

Round 2:
Hannah this time works to keep close to Behati, not allowing her much time to work as the two exchange in close with good shots to the others body.
Trying to wear each other out, Ferguson nudges Prinsloo towards the ropes and cracks two hooks around the guard to land her first real meaningful punches in this fight.
Behati manages to fight her way off the ropes with a quick thrown flurry but Hannah is able to sneak under the jab to land a good uppercut to snap the Namibians head back.
Back they go at each other once Behati regains her composer, trading some vicious shots till they fall into a clinch.
The referee has to get involved to pry them apart as they shove at each other, bumping their shoulders into the others chin, after they are pulled apart, they get warned by the ref to keep the action clean.
Behati comes on the stronger as the action resumes, connecting with a good jab to the face and a body shot just below her left jug.
But Hannah fires back with a good thrown three punch combo to the head of Behati to rock her head and force her back a few steps.
The Texan eyes light up as she goes to hurt Behati again but gets pulled into another clinch to give herself a chance to clear her head.
Separated, Behati lands with a hard straight and now she has some space, she is doing her best work this round, sadly for her it's too late this round to make much difference scoring wise.
The bell rings with both smiling to their corners, they have some marks on their face but still look plenty fit to go at each other.

Round 3:
Behati comes out like a house on fire, she looks completely focused as she makes Hannah miss with smartly placed shots.
As Hannah tries to land a hard shot, Behati moves out the way with subtle movements and sneaks a jab or a right hand to disrupt her attacks.
Ferguson does get in a good right hand to her nose to slow down the momentum of Prinsloo as it forces both to slug it out.
That is till Behati reels Hannah in with a lower guard and as her rival blonde goes to strike, she slams an uppercut into the chin of Hannah to snap her head back.
Hannah now is forced back a step and continues to retreat as Behati unleashes a barrage of punches that Ferguson just manages to guard against some punches.
Put onto the ropes, Hannah throws back some hard punches off her own that stop Behati from going all in but she isn't finding a way off the ropes so easily when Prinsloo is still sneaking through shots to anywhere that Hannah leaves open.
In the end, Hannah has to clinch up to protect herself and force the referee to pull them apart so she can escape to space of her own.
Now Hannah comes forward with her own quick hands forcing Behati to retreat back, both landing hard single punches over the others guard to sting each others faces.
The late part of the round sees Hannah eat another hard shot, this time a counter straight punch as she tries to throw a hard uppercut but misses.
The round ends with Behati almost shouting as she is relieved to have taken control of this fight after such an even start to the fight.
Hannah on the other hand is steaming, she screams into the top turnbuckle as her coach tries to calm her down and get her focused on the fight.

Round 4:
Hannah tries to get into the face of Behati early but again the African fighter is finding holes through her opponents gloves to strike away.
The lips of Ferguson is swelling up and the fight is starting to get away from her, she seems to finally calm down as Behati digs that jab at her and now she's starting to move her head better than the earlier rounds.
Now Hannah moves up her own gears, landing some good shots to the body of Behati as it's an easier target to find.
But Behati strikes her back with a swift combo up top, jab and right hook, then as Hannah covers up top, she swings down stairs to land two more shots to the body.
The cleaner shots ate still coming from Prinsloo but Hannah isn't going away without a fight and forces Behati to fight in tight as she parries a straight punch to step forward quickly.
Away go both fighters, heads down as they work each others bodies till Hannah surprises Behati with an uppercut up the centre.
Behati steps back as Hannah nearly bulldozers through her with a cracking two hook combo up top to force her stumbling back.
The fights momentum swings to the Americans favour as she lands more good shots to the body of Behati, not pulling them back far to swing, just using volume to hurt her opponent.
Behati has to clinch up with Hannah, Ferguson is seen to whisper something into the ear of her opponent that judging by both fighters faces isn't a friendly comment.
The referee separates the two and Hannah ends the round strong with some great shots over the gloves of Behati to reel her backwards.
The bell rings with Behati starting to look hurt, her cheeks are reddening and she shakes her head as she looks at Lauren with a "what the hell am I supposed to do look?"
Hannah meanwhile pumps her fist to the crowd and has her stunning smile back to make her coach look relieved by what he's seen up to now.

Round 5:
Behati tries to come out strong but after the early exchange this round, it's clear her head hasn't fully cleared yet and Hannah is able to snap her head back with some great overhand shots.
Back to the rope go Behati as she has to fight her way off of them but Hannah is looking forward it seems to these exchanges, the powerful blonde keeps in close now and eats away to the body of the African fighter, then moves up top to keep her pinned on the ropes.
Behati can only find mostly glancing blows compared to the hammer strikes she is receiving as she hasn't the room she needs to work in.
Instead she is now forced to clinch up, making her look worried as she looks to the ceiling for answers and her coach now is getting stressed by what she is seeing from her.
Separated, Hannah lands a scything straight punch and now Behati has blood coming from her nostrils to add to her worries.
This round has become one sided as the lack of experience from Behati compared to the growing experience on Hannah's side is showing itself badly here.
Behati is trying to fight back but her punches lack the accuracy they had before and now Hannah is teeing off on her with shots to her face to make the blow flow in her opponent's nose even worse.
Late in the round, Behati is stuck to the ropes again with a barrage of punches and the referee is watching closely as all she can do is cover up.
The bell saves her it seems as Hannah doesn't seem care as she swings her ponytail into the face of Behati to show a total lack of respect.
Behati can just shake her head, Lauren is cleaning up her nose and is telling her to fight back or this is going to be over soon.

Round 6:
Behati is looking to counter punch it seems, she's holding back in the ring, letting Hannah come to her, which seems to be OK by the Americans face.
A good right hand does connect from Behati but Hannah is able to land a good shot of her own with a straight smacking into the nose of her rival to cause blood to trickle again from her nostrils.
Hannah drives on to force Behati into a tight shell and it's clear that she's too rattled to keep the aggressive Ferguson off of her and it's leading to another dominant round for Hannah.
On the ropes, Behati eats several shots to her flanks of her body as her guard starts to dip and Hannah then gets the real opening she wants.
Swinging a hard left hook, it slams into Behati's chin and as her head twists round to face towards the canvas, the rest of Behati drops to the canvas with a thud as she lands face down.
The crowd all roar as they know this is over and as the referee starts his count and sees no stirring from Behati, he waves the fight off to end it.

Winner: Hannah Ferguson KO Round 6

After:
Quickly the referee with medics, help turn Behati over so she can breath clearly as Hannah even has a hint of concern for her opponent.
That changes when Behati is brought around by the doctor and Hannah just focuses on getting her gloves taken off and winking to the camera.
Behati is heard asking "I lost didn't I?" Which gets a mod from the doctor and she us nearly in tears as she knows she had her chances in that fight but didn't take them when they were there.
Her night gets worse as Hannah comes over and nudges Behati back down to the canvas with the sole of her left boot of the jugs of Prinsloo.
"What the f***!" Shouts Behati as Hannah grins down at her and in reply, Hannah simply kneels down and grabs her by her hair.
"You lost bytch, I told you that you're bottom of the new breed and I am going to be the new face of this division" says Hannah with a stern look on her face.
Then it turns to a grin as she adds "you seem to forget that I like trophies too and while your pants are not as famous as Mandy's, which take pride of place on the stable gym wall, I like that top, green looks better on me"
Grabbing at the top of Behati, Lauren shouts at her but is promptly shoved back by the bigger Hannah and Eva is looking scared.
Ripping the bra off of Behati, the African girl covers her jugs, embarrassed as her cheeks turn red and Hannah holds it up to the crowd, before spitting on the jugs of her rival.
Lauren is up again and tries to get into the face of Hannah to defend her fighter but the referee holds her back as he doesn't want an impromptu fight to start up.
Hannah leaves with a wide smile on her face and hangs the bra on her shoulder like a title belt, maybe a hint for next year for this rapidly raising fighter.
Behati meanwhile has to be helped from the ring, one of the security guards gives her his jacket to hide her embarrassment and could the doubters be right about her, she'll of course be looking to get back on track soon herself.
But the new breed of welterweight fighters is certainly something to be excited by with fights like this a hint of what's to come.
