(Girls Friday vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The opening card of the FNL card in the Rod Laver arena, Behati Prinsloo meets Elizabeth Berkley in a battle of youth vs experience.
Behati in her short career has won 2 fights, both by knockout and lost once, to fellow rising star Hannah Ferguson.
While Elizabeth holds a record of 15 wins, 12 by knockout, 17 losses and 2 draws to her name, she lost to long term rival Amanda Righetti 2 years ago.
People saying that the Girls Friday stable looking for easy meat to blood in their youngster after the Ferguson loss took some of the early bluster from Behati's sails.
Elizabeth clearly unhappy to be told that, telling news outlets "they're making a big mistake putting me in the ring with that bug, I mean I hear she shouldn't even be a welterweight, they'll regret their choice soon enough"
Asked if she was possibly retiring after this fight, she answered "well I thought I would 2 years ago by beating Righetti, she got lucky and now I have to beat this Prinsloo, to stand any chance of Righetti having the guts to fight me again" before she leaves to go train at her gym.
Behati not backing down though in her response "she's 45! I'm 27, I'm going to do as Michelle would say, put her in the retirement home and keep my improvement going"
Finishing up, she says "come fight night, she's going to be thinking what the hell just hit me?"
Fight night, out comes Behati first, she has Lauren Berlingeri and Eva Carneiro, she looks calm as she looks down at the cheering crowd, waiting for it's first taste of action tonight.
She walks down to the ring wearing a green sports bra, green trunks with a golden G.F badge on the right left, with green gloves and shoes completing the look.
Stepping into the ring, she bows to each side of the crowd, before heading to her corner to finish warming up for the fight.
Now Elizabeth heads out the back to the entrance ramp, her coach behind her as the still toned looking blonde goddess stands tall and proud for her fans to see.
Walking down to the ring, she's wearing a light blue sports bra, matching trunks with her name on the waistband in gold letters and light blue gloves and shoes to complete her look.
Entering the ring, she punches the air and smiles as she steps back into the ring after a lay off and it feels like home for her.
The referee ushers the girls to meet face to face, Behati has the very slight height advantage on paper, but as they go nose to nose, it is hard to see.
Finishing his instructions to the fighters, the ref asks for a touch of gloves and the girls do as told, but it's not a gentle touch, as both girls want to prove to the other, that they've got some dynamite in those fists.
Returning to their corners, gumshields are placed in and with the referee satisfied that everything is in order, he points to the timekeeper to ring the bell to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
Out come the girls, both up on their toes circling and trading standard opening shots, mostly jabs to test each other out.
Behati decides she wants to fight in tight early and swarms Elizabeth with a four punch combo that the older big girl just about protests herself from.
But it's clear that the speed factor goes to Behati, as she drives forward again, landing a good double salvo to the body of Berkley, who fires back and just misses a hard straight punch to the nose of the Namibian.
Elizabeth does finally land with a stiff jab that sets up a hard right punch across the cheek of her younger opponent, before she tries to step forward and pressure Behati into a mistake.
But Prinsloo dances out of trouble, landing a double jab to the side of Berkley's face to turn her head.
The actress does find her stride though, catching Behati up the centre with a jab and straight punch, then she works the body of her opponent, hoping to cut the wheels off it seems.
But Behati finds space to escape into and then comes back Elizabeth to land a hard right hook that wobbles her legs to a roar from her fans.
Elizabeth remains strong, landing a two punch combo up top that knocks the overly keen Behati's head back and gets the crowd standing as both girls start trading.
Less than a minute to go and Behati may regret trying to trade so close with a power puncher like big Liz, whose starting to land the cleaner punches.
Behati steps back to create some space and now Elizabeth tries to step into the gap, but gets popped to her lips with a straight now from the model.
Behati ends the round strong, landing a three punch combo, jab and two cross punches to hurt her opponent, Elizabeth stepping back, looking for an opening herself with not much time to go.
But as the bell rings after another hook from Behati to the body of Berkley lands, it's Behati whose jogging back to her corner excited and Elizabeth who is looking frustrated, not landing like she wants to yet.
Round 2:
Off they go again, the girls circling and trading single pot shots at the others guard, till Behati tries to step forward to control the action again.
But Elizabeth surprises Behati with a left cross, then suddenly bridges the gap with a straight to force the model back onto her heels.
Berkley presses forward, keeping the pressure on Behati, both girls slugging it out in tight, Elizabeth landing around the guard of her opponent.
Behati is working the body of her opponent, trying to force Elizabeth backwards, but is finding herself being knocked back herself, the girls grunting as they slam hard punches into each other.
The model cracks Elizabeth to the side with a hard right, but leaves herself open to a double jab from her opponent.
Elizabeth is just about keeping Behati under wraps, landing sweeping punches to keep the younger model in front of her and not letting her circle out of trouble.
The girls square up in tight and trading it out to the delight of the crowd, with not long to go, the girls shove each other back to land clean shots, but it's becoming a scuffy fight.
The bell rings not long after with both girls standing tall in each others faces, neither backing down as the referee has to step between both girls.
Heading back to their corners, both girls look like they want to turn around and charge each other, but calm down enough to get cleaned up off their coaches and told what to change up for the next round.
Round 3:
Quickly both girls come to the centre of the ring, Elizabeth is the first on the front foot, digging straight shots at the head of Behati, who just about dodges the punches.
But as she finds herself on the backfoot again, Elizabeth continues to throw at the head of her opponent, looking to land something to really hurt her.
Instead she finds Behati is dodging around her, using her speed and flexibility to lean and move out the way of the slow but powerful punches.
Then Behati lands a cracking right to the chin of Elizabeth, the Saved by the Bell actress stumbles slightly, before finding her feet.
Now Behati finds her extra gear, slamming several hooks of her own to the body of Berkley, getting hit with a stiff jab to her nose, but lands an over hand right to get back on top of her opponent.
Elizabeth clearly can't believe it judging by her face, but she's been hammered and can't land anything of note now, her fans looking scared for her, With a minute to go, Behati lands an uppercut to rock the head of Elizabeth back, the older blonde stumbles into the ropes.
Elizabeth gets her hands up and throws some wild shots back, her eyes look bewildered that she's being punished so badly by Behati.
The girls in tight trading, again Behati lands a hard right to the chin of Elizabeth and the actress is leaning into the ropes, trying to keep herself up.
The bell rings and Behati doesn't bother to show her frustration, keeping her mind on the task at hand as she heads to her corner.
Elizabeth meanwhile manages to push herself from the ropes, her cheeks swelling up from the hard shots she's taken, she stumbles to her corner stool, her coach desperate to fix her up for the next round.
Round 4:
Behati bangs her gloves together as Elizabeth shoves herself up, quickly the Namibian is on her opponent, forcing her back into her own corner with a barrage of punches.
One punch after the other works the guard of the covering up Elizabeth, till an opening appears as Berkley's back touches the turnbuckles in her corner.
A straight punch snaps the head of Elizabeth back, then a left cross slumps her back down to the middle turnbuckle and a right hook seems to finish the job as Elizabeth slides down the rest of the way to her bum with her eyes shut.
Behati jogs to a neutral corner, grinning over at her corner team as the referee begins his count over the fallen Berkley.
Elizabeth starts stirring at 6 but can't find the strength to pull herself back up to her feet and the count reaches 10 to end the fight.

Winner: Behati Prinsloo KO Round 4

After:
Behati rushes over to her own corner and hugs her team, a wide beaming smile across her face over another win for her to prove her worth to them and the division as a whole.
Elizabeth Berkley has to be helped up, clearly still too dazed to push herself up, but she doesn't look too badly hurt, nodding at her coach and looking almost apologetic that she lost.
Surprisingly to some, Behati doesn't go over to Elizabeth, just staring at her hard, clearly not prepared to offer any olive branches here.
Instead she pumps her fist to the crowd and looks proud of herself, as she scans the crowd, maybe looking for doubters of her talent.
Behind her, Elizabeth is helped from the ring, but does manage to leave under her own steam, her fans clearly hoping this isn't the end for her.
But some at ring side are wondering with the new class of fighters coming through, where does Elizabeth fit into that new world?
After Elizabeth is gone, Behati has her hand raised and her name announced as the winner, as she bounces up on her toes with that radiant smile still across her face.
Before she heads to the back with her friends and corner team Lauren and Eva, both girls looking proud of her performance.
As Behati ends the backstage area, journalists come up to her and she looks excited to tell them how she feels and how far she thinks she can go.
"First, look I am not going to be friends with Elizabeth, but beating a big girl like her means so much to me, she's powerful, smart in the ring and has big fight experience" starts Behati.
Before she continues "but I am too much for her, that's not me trying to be arrogant, just I want that performance to be my statement, each of my stablemates have made a statement this past year, the other new breed of welterweight have, so this is my statement of intent"
Then she finishes with "I don't see my name get mentioned with the new girls, that is fine; I messed up against Ferguson, but I plan on winning fights and getting myself into that discussion of whose the best new face in the FCBA"
Blowing a kiss to the camera, Behati leaves to go help Michelle Ryan warm up for her main event fight with Katrina Law in the Girls Friday locker room.
