Intro: While there was a little bad blood between some of the Neighbours girls and the Home and Away girls after their teams had fought for show pride. Ariel Kaplan and Bonnie Sveen had become the hot topic after the event due to their bar brawl on the beach before the event had ended. It had started because Bonnie who had won her match went to the bar and Ariel, who is close to Kym Valentine, who got beat off by Bonnie got into it with Sveen. Of course you have to know that Bonnie had also became friends with Kym over the build up to their fight and it was Kym who had told Bonnie to go to the bar as the young blonde had wanted to go with her new friend to the hospital to make sure she was fully OK. It could be a story in one of their soaps, two women who have a form of misunderstanding, wreck a bar as they fight it out in skimpy bikinis, Dynasty would have nothing on that. Even with Kym trying to get both to apologize to the other after the event, neither wanted to lose face after they had fought. Secretly they also wanted to know who was the better woman as Ariel had controlled part of the brawl but had also been thrown around herself as tables were knocked over and glasses fell into the sand.
At the press event for this fight, Ariel and Bonnie met face to face for the first time in person since that fight. They had tried as Kym suggested talking on the phone but that led both to start shouting at the other after starting off polite and civil, as digs about how each other have beaten the other if their friends hadn't pulled them apart were thrown. Bonnie has the slight height advantage and is the bulker looking fighter, while Ariel is lithe but is toned. Both bumped the other and Ariel had to take a step back as Bonnie begun to grin as she had scored the first point. She lost the second though as Ariel slapped her and before she could swing her own slap, Ariel was on her like at the bar. The two women seemed possessed as they fought it out, Bonnie would shove Ariel down but the brunette would be up quickly and back at the big blonde. Hair littered the floor and both women were sore from the slaps they had unleashed on the other and the knees they had thrown to beat the other down. Security finally got between the hellcats but neither seemed bothered as they would gladly wait till they were in the ring. In the build up to the fight, Ariel released this picture:
 Her caption under it was Bonnie I'm thinking of your face as I punch these pads you bytch! Bonnie just simply replied on her twitter Kaplan, talk all the crap you want but when I knock you down, let's see you try and get up! #fistsofstone
Fight night in Sydney, Ariel comes to the ring first, she is wearing a black sports bra and tight workout lyrca shorts that clinch to her booty, finishing the look she has black gloves and shoes with white socks sticking out the top. She waves to the crowd as she enters the ring and gets a big cheer from the fans till her attention turns to the ramp and the presence of Bonnie Sveen. Bonnie comes out wearing a yellow sports bra and tight lyrca shorts, she finishes her look with yellow gloves and boots with white socks sticking out. Both fighters get their hair braided across from each other in their corners, as if some ritual before combat. Kym Valentine has reportedly offered both women words of encouragement and told them she hopes this will be the end of their feud. Their hair is finished and now their gumshields are in before they come to the ring centre for the final instructions. Neither blinks as they stare each other down and while both have contrasting bodies, you can see the time and care both fighters put into getting into shape. Asked to touch gloves, they do and nod at each other before returning to their corners as tension fills the air and nerves are felt by both fighters. 10 rounds of flyweight action begins now.
Round 1: Both women come up with high guards and eyes staring like daggers behind those guards as they circle on their toes. Bonnie is looking to walk down Ariel into a corner but the spite brunette was moving quickly around the big blonde with her jab poking the bigger bear. Sveen kept trying to force a brawl but Ariel had evidently learned from their two fights not to attack head on and instead was coming in and out of Bonnie's range, using her speed and her smaller frame to her advantage by fighting in skirmishes and not full blown exchanges. Bonnie's timing is off and she can only catch mostly glancing blows on her opponent, who is fully focused on the task ahead of her. Bonnie seems to finally catch Ariel against the ropes but is quickly sidestepped and finds herself against the ropes and taking two hard hooks to the body before retreating as the blonde nearly catches her with a haymaker. The bell rings and Bonnie has to admit that she got schooled that round by her smaller opponent.
Round 2: Out they come and again Ariel is showing her speed off by moving quickly around Bonnie, who is almost static as she can't come forward quick enough at the moment to attack. Ariel shows great discipline as she keeps her guard tight and is seeking her time to strike at her opponent. Bonnie on the other hand is still trying to work out this girls tactics as she has her own timing all wrong compared to the brunette's. But Bonnie does finally manage to land a nasty shot to the gut of Ariel and then catches her on her jaw and down goes Ariel. The crowd look stunned after all the action was in Ariel's favour, now she's down and it looked a hard fall. But as Bonnie reaches a neutral corner, she sees Ariel is already starting to sit up and rub her jaw. As their eyes meet, Ariel nods her respect for Bonnie's power as the blonde nods back that her opponent isn't clean knocked out after that punch. The ref is up to 8 as Ariel makes it to her feet, he checks her over but he finds that she seems OK as he let's the fight continue. Bonnie tries to get at Ariel, who is in retreat mode and is still boxing well on the back foot to show she still has her senses about her. The round ends low key as Bonnie gives up the chase and Ariel is happy to survive as the bell rings and she returns to her corner.
Round 3: Back out they come and Bonnie seems to have worked out the pattern of movement from Ariel, she's starting to catch the smaller brunette with harder punches then before. Ariel looks slightly worried as she can't get caught flush but she doesn't believe she can match power with Bonnie. So she is continuing to clip away at the blonde with quick digging blows to the ribs of her opponent, who uncharacteristically starts tapping her abs and shouts "stop running and fight bytch!" Ariel takes no heed of her opponents words but she gets shoved to the ropes as she gets caught in front of Bonnie. The big blonde unleashes some hard body shots of her own which make a thudding sound that people in the first few rows can hear clearly. Ariel is grunting loudly but boxes her way off the ropes to a loud cheer as people are coming to her side as the underdog of the fight. Bonnie isn't interested in that at the moment as the fighters just have eyes for each other. Sveen is starting to control the pace as she takes the centre of the ring and bashes Ariel to the outside. While Ariel herself is gamely continuing to box her way inside and retreat to the outside to work out her next attack. The bell rings and the fighters stare coldly at each other, neither can definitely say they won that round as both had some moments in that round.
Round 4: Ariel is back to full speed it seems now, so maybe that knock down did more damage then original thought. Bonnie is still catching her but her body is noticibly reddening up under the repeated digs that Ariel is throwing at it and her face is starting to show some discomfort. But again she is able to work the littler brunette to the ropes and attack that high guard of Ariel's. She even starts looping hooks around to keep Ariel in place as the younger girl keeps trying to move out of the killzone that Bonnie has created it seems. Ariel clinches up to Bonnie, who shows her raw power by pressing her opponent to the ropes. A look of triumph grows on her face as she nearly smothers Ariel with her jugs as she presses her rival down slightly. The ref sees this and shoves the fighters apart, Ariel has eyes that say "you F***ing C***" Ariel shocks Bonnie by barraging into her but the brunette is quickly shoved back and she's knocked back with stinging jabs to the ropes away till she can duck and escape into space. The bell rings not long after with Ariel looking to the roof in frustration and Bonnie raising her gloves to the crowd as she gets a mixed reception. The crowd are split between supporting both these young fighters in their quest to crush the other.
Round 5: Ariel is starting to rush inside the guard of Bonnie more often as if she believes she has to get into the danger zone to win this fight. Bonnie looks annoyed, as if a fly was landing on her and she can't quite swat it as she shoves Ariel away, only to have her back in her face. A sharp right hook from Ariel shocks the crowd as blood can be seen trickling down the cheek of Bonnie. A small cut has been opened on the side of the blondes face just above her eyebrow. Ariel's supporters see hope as their underdog is striking away, trying to attack that eye as Bonnie shockingly retreats. It's now looking like a Jack Russell chasing a German Shepard around the ring. Bonnie is landing counter punches that knock Ariel back a step before the plucky brunette keeps charging forward and digging shots to anywhere she can hit. Bonnie can be heard groaning before she pulls Ariel into a clinch that resembles a bear hug more then a normal clinch. Ariel complains to the ref, who tells her to fight her way out of it but her arms are being held to her side and even with Bonnie hurt, she hasn't the strength to fight out of the hold. The ref does finally pry them apart and Bonnie has her space again to work Bonnie outside with a stiff jab that causes some blood to run from Ariel's nostril. The bell rings with both fighters looking sore and the doctor is checking Bonnie's cut eyebrow closely as her corner works on it.
Round 6: Ariel's lasted longer than some of her own supporters suspected and she's even hurt Bonnie. The fighters circle as Bonnie has to admit that she vastly underrated Ariel's skill and her heart. Ariel is back to trying to attack that eye and is becoming reckless in her pursuit as Bonnie picks her off with the jab. More blood seems to be running from Ariel's nose and the ref is eyeing both fighters up closely as they exchange jabs. Bonnie catches Ariel to the temple with a hard right hand and down goes Kaplan to her side. The blonde retreats to a neutral corner as Ariel can be seen blinking, trying to clear her head as the ref begins his count. Ariel has to use the ropes to stand but gets a massive cheer when she is up at 8, how long can she survive though as the ref checks her over and let's her fight on. The brunette spitfire is on the move again but her legs are losing steam as Bonnie stalks her prey. Ariel tries to fight head on with a desperate lunge but is clock under her chin with a straight that wobbles her back to the ropes and the ref steps in before Bonnie can go for the kill.
Winner: Bonnie Sveen TKO Round 6
After: Ariel is complaining about what she felt was an early stoppage but she's sitting on the middle rope as she hasn't the ware with all to stand straight. The ref doesn't look like he's interested in explaining the stoppage as he raises Bonnie's hand and the blonde looks proud of herself, even with blood from her cut running down the left side of her face. Bonnie heads towards Ariel and the ref stands close in case the action starts again between these two. But Bonnie helps Ariel stand up straight by letting her put her arm around her and helps her to get to her corner. Both women have a quick chat and while it doesn't seem friendly at first, Bonnie kneels down and hugs Ariel; which will probably bring a tear to Kym Valentines eyes. Bonnie gets her gloves taken off and her eyebrow cleaned again as she may need a few stitches but nothing major. As the fighters leave the ring, both give their gloves to two young girls in the crowd, ironically Ariel gives hers to a blonde girl and Bonnie's to a brunette, maybe two future opponents.
A journalist stops Bonnie to ask what was said between the two women after the fight that got them to hug. Bonnie replies "I told her the truth, I respect her and I hope this has finally cleared the air as she seems a good kid, just we have too big a tempers for our own good and I know we'll probably have to fight again in future, the hug was to hopefully mark our new start" Bonnie then blows a kiss to a camera as she leaves and sees Ariel and Kym waiting for her at the top of the ramp, with Kym holding a can of lager for both, which has both fighters laughing but won't be turning it down after that battle.
