(Free Agent vs Free Agent)

Intro:
Two of the biggest free agents do battle tonight as Kendall Jenner
meets Erica Durance for the first time in the ring.
The 21 year old Kendall comes into the fight with a record of 6 wins,
all by knockout and 2 losses to her name, those two were Miranda Kerr
and Jaimie Alexander though.
Her opponent is the 38 year old Erica, who enters the ring tonight
with a record of 42 wins, 24 by knock out, 19 losses and 1 draw, she's
a former 3 time lightweight champion and formerly top 10 pound for
pound contender.
The build up for this fight went smoothly, both girls deep in training
for most of it to comment on each other, only little sound bites from
coaches of "she's in great shape for this" etc.
The night before the fight, the girls met face to face for the first
time in the press event for the PPV, Kendall showing off her 2 and a
half inch height advantage over the 5'8 Erica.
But Erica is certainly not afraid of Kendall, having been in the ring
with girls like Righetti, Strahovski, Biel and Theron just to name a
small group of legendary fighters she's fought to get herself into
that distinction.
The girls step back after a long stare down as the organisers ask them
to head to their tables to begin the event properly.
Kendall gets the nod to speak first as the girls reach their seats,
she starts with "let me say that I do respect Erica, I mean you would
be dumb to call this woman anything but hall of fame material, she's
fought the types of girls I want to for all her career and won the
titles that I crave"
The mood gets more serious quickly though as Kendall adds "but I've
told you all 2017 is my year, that isn't just an idol statement, I
plan on beating the best and getting the respect I deserve, while
certain journalists look at my last name and spitefully ignore me for
less talented fighters, they won't ignore me after this year, I
promise you that"
She sits back down, more sterner faced then usually, clearly not in
the mood to be disrespected off those she feels have in the past few
months.
Erica doesn't care about that, saying "even before HMK was closed, I
have heard people lining the death nail in my career up for two years,
even having a perfect 2015 with two wins, people are afraid to fight
me and they should be"
Looking over at Kendall, she adds "I'll give her credit for stepping
up to face me, this could be the fight to make people stand up for you
Kendall, sadly it'll be as a good try but no cigar this time"
The girls are led back up to stare each other down once more, neither
girl is backing down as they go nose to nose, the scene suddenly
becomes tense.
But after they step back from each other, there does seem to be some
respect between them as they nod at each other, then head off stage to
weigh in and finish watching video of each other before tomorrows
fight.

Now it's fight night, Kendall is out first wearing her long white robe
that is open at the front to show her impressive body off to her fans.
That air of confidence she has is there for all to see as she uses the
ramp like a catwalk, strutting down to the ring with a wide smile on
those cherry red lipstick covered lips of hers.
At the steps, her coach helps her to take the robe off to reveal her
growing in fame white sports bra, trunks with queen written on her
waistband in golden letters, to go with her white gloves and shoes.
She enters the ring to a loud cheer from her fans as she strolls to
her corner, regally waving to her fans as she smiles at them.
Now it's Erica's time to enter, looking completely focused on the task
at hand as she steps onto the top of the entrance ramp.
Matching down to the ring with a red robe covering her own impressive
body, which she reveals as she reaches the ring steps on her side of
the ring and takes her robe off to a loud cheer.
She's wearing a red sports bra, matching trunks with Durance in white
letter on her waistband to go with the red gloves and shoes she has
on, her hair tied back into a ponytail as she points at Kendall and
nods that she's coming for her, Kendall waves her to bring it on.
The referee waves both girls to come to the center of the ring, with
the fighters doing as told, looking at each others bodies, imagining
ripping body into those abs to put their opponent down to their knees.
Asked to touch gloves, both girls give the other a hard stare before
respectfully touching them up, before walking back to their corners.
The referee looks happy to start, signalling for the bell to start 10
rounds of lightweight boxing action.

Round 1:
"Ding" out come the fighters with real purpose it seems as they square
up at range early, Erica trying to force Kendall back early with a few
piston rights following her left jab.
Kendall though is leaning out of range, landing her own shots early at
will it seems with her own jab setting up some hard counter body
shots.
The girls circle with Erica keep trying to step into the gap between
them for some real damage, but her younger opponent just looks too
quick with her footwork early on.
Erica finally gets her way to the inside of Kendall's defences,
landing two stiff shots to the body but Jenner steps back and lands a
stiff uppercut that knocks Erica's head back, the Canadian shows her
toughness by taking the blow and barely moving back.
That doesn't stop Kendall landing two more cross punches up top to
give Erica more to think about, with Durance stepping out the pocket
to create space to think.
Kendall tries to stop that but takes a hard hook to her chin that
halts her own drive and allows Erica time to think.
That's dangerous for Kendall as Erica shows by fainting a straight
right and digging in two left body shots to cause a gasp to escape the
lanky supermodels lips and force her back a step.
Before Kendall comes back at her, leading to the first tight exchange
between the fighters, Erica looking at home as she neutralizes the
height disadvantage she has and let's her work the body with cleaner
punches.
Kendall has to nudge Erica back, before she answers the actress back
with a hard right to the cheek of Erica, followed by a left hook to
shove her towards the ropes
Erica uses her experience to get off them, but she clearly didn't
expect such a tough fight from the youngster, who keeps coming forward
at range, which she steps back from till she's sure she can get back
in tight.
Which with seconds to go she does, ducking a right hook and coming
back with a right straight to her abs, Erica pushes on till the bell
rings with more quick thrown body blows to push Kendall back several
steps.
Both girls simply nod, before jogging back to their corners, not much
work needs to be done on their looks, but Erica gets her ass chewed
off by her coach for not fighting hard enough.

Round 2:
Off to the ring centre head both girls, Kendall using her jab to try
and keep the distance between the girls, maybe falling into a bit of a
fallacy that she's on top.
Erica proves that's wrong as she dig away to the body of the model to
start her drive forward, Kendall trying to step back and getting
caught on her lips with a hook that forces her onto her heels.
The girls come in tight, Erica digging repeatedly to the body of the
younger girl, showing her experience as she tries to wear out the big
girl.
While Kendall struggles to make an impact in this tight, again she has
to retreat to try and create that space, that leaves her open though
as Erica drives forward to continue that flurry of punches to the body
of Jenner.
The American lands a right straight to stop the onslaught and takes
her chance to get back into a comfortable range.
Erica tries to get back in tight, but Kendall sidesteps her and lands
her right over the guard of Erica to hurt her as she connects with her
temple.
Now Kendall powers forward with a barrage of punches, throwing five
punches with most hitting Durance's guard then hitting her with a
right to the body and a left to make the actress groan.
The Canadian steps back and spots an opening as Kendall tries to lash
a right over the top once more and misses, letting Erica dig her own
right straight to the abs of the taller fighter to upset Kendall.
The round is coming towards an end, Erica gets in tight again with the
girls letting their hands go, beating each other up top and Durance
really focuses on the body, two more shots to the flanks of Kendall
makes her groan.
But Kendall sneaks backwards and lands a stiff straight to the top of
Erica's head and at the bell, lands a right just under the left jab of
Erica's to make her moan out in pain.
Both girls returning to their corners, listening intently to their
coaches, knowing how big a task this is going to be for them now and
their coaches clean them up while giving them new info on the gameplan
as it changes to deal with what's happening.

Round 3:
Quickly out again, Kendall working her way back and forth, trying to
be slightly unpredictable with her attacks, which in the opening part
of the round does confuse Erica, who has watched plenty of tape on the
youngster and didn't see this.
Erica's timing is knocked off enough that Kendall is landing the
cleaner punches to the head of Durance, no real power shots, just
scoring points with her punches and forcing Durance to waste energy
missing with her own.
The Canadian does find her way to the breadbasket of Kendall again,
head down to duck two more head hunting hooks and then lands two of
her own to the body of Kendall.
But Kendall manages to step out of the way of another straight body
shot and pistons her right straight to the top of Erica's head to
nearly knock Erica down.
It's more from the force then that Erica was hurt, that doesn't stop
Kendall pouncing forwards though, slamming two punches up top to the
unprotected face of her opponent.
Then digging to the body of Erica several times to press her to the
ropes as the older fighter struggles to cover up.
She decides to force a clinch, adding her right hand punching the
kidneys area of the younger girl to try and score something on her.
The girls are separated and Erica gets her legs back straight under
her, countering an overzealous Kendall with a chopping right to her
jaw to turn her head.
Erica forces her way back forwards into her range, landing two cross
punches up top to Kendall's cheeks before the girls trade with seconds
to go.
The Canadian landing a left hand to the lips of Kendall to cut them to
add to the misery of Kendall at the bell as after a strong showing
this round, Erica is still in her fighting back hard though.
Back in their corners, both girls faces are starting to show the wears
of battle, red marks over their faces, Kendall's body certainly has
them and her lips are trickling blood slowly as her coach looks to
stop the bleeding before the next round.

Round 4:
Kendall tries to get back her momentum, but Erica digs her feet in,
landing chopping shots up top to force the Jenner sibling to fight on
the back foot.
The girls trade some stiff single shots up top, before Erica parries a
left straight then lands one of her own, as she presses forward and
Kendall is on the defensive.
The youngster covering up as Erica pounds her way forward, Kendall
dancing away but not able to throw anything to keep her opponent back.
She tries to step back forwards to fight back, the girls trading back
and forth around the ring, Kendall landing two stiff straight shots to
the top of the head of Erica, knocking it back.
Erica ducks a right from the American as it sails over her head and
she snaps out a left jab to the chin of Jenner, who just about steps
out the way of a hook to her body.
The girls landing hard single shots again, till Erica throws another
flurry that Kendall covers up from, stepping back to get out of the
range of the actress to reset.
Or at least try as it shows as Erica faints a body shot with her left
and lands a right to the cheek of Kendall and two more straights to
the lips to bloody them once more.
Kendall grimacing as she's worked over by Erica, who keeps the
distance between them close as she presses quickly to keep her on the
defensive.
Another flurry backs Kendall towards a corner and realising her peril,
she fires back, the girls trading with not long left in the round to a
loud cheer.
Back and forth they go with Erica nearly getting Kendall into the
corner, but the bell rings with Erica looking annoyed, wishing she had
longer to keep striking to maybe end this fight.
Kendall doesn't look too bothered, which surprises some at ringside,
but she calmly speaks to her coach, before he cleans her lips up once
more.

Round 5:
Out comes Erica to keep the pressure on Kendall, working behind her
jab to try ferrying the youngster around the ring, looking to pin her
to the ropes.
Kendall sore but certainly not beaten, works her own jab out as she
moves on her back foot, the crowd looking closely at the action as
Erica seems to be missing something right in front of her.
She manages to get in close again to Kendall to try and work the
flanks once more, this time finding a staunch defence, as the American
tugs her arms to her sides and steps out of range of Durance quickly.
Trying to keep close, Erica throws several punches up top that Kendall
parries for the most part, a stray straight punch does it's damage to
the already sore lips of Kendall, making her groan in pain.
Getting in tight, Erica manages to get those body shots she was after,
but misses wildly up top with a overhand right as Kendall sneaks her
left to the nose of Erica, knocking her out of her stride.
Again Erica seems to force Kendall towards the ropes, the lanky
fighter is covering up and taking pot shots out of her guard to show
she's still fighting.
Then she clinches up with Durance, leaning on her as Erica looks to be
getting pissed off by the situation, her mind not thinking straight as
she wrestles Kendall back to the ropes.
Separated by the referee, Kendall moves off the ropes and again steps
to the ring centre, delivering a steady jab to knock Erica's head
back, targeting her nose as the Canadian is definitely starting to
sniff louder, maybe blood inside of her nostril is running, that is
confirming by the cameras as a tickle of blood runs from her nose.
Erica barrages forward again, Kendall keeping compact, letting the
more experienced fighter go to town on her arms, moving backwards to
make Erica almost give chase.
Later in the round and Kendall spots her chance, bashing Erica to the
solar plexus driving the air from her body and suddenly Erica is the
one whose retreating.
Clearly hurt from that last punch as Kendall sends a four punch combo
of straight left and rights to the face of Erica who unbalanced slips
into the ropes.
The referee holds Kendall back and rules it a slip, there is some
debate at ringside if that's the right call, but it doesn't really
matter as Erica is being driven backwards with the dying seconds of
the round.
The bell rings and Kendall jogs back to her corner with a wide grin,
surprisingly for being so young and still seen as a rookie even with
this being her ninth fight, she read the situation of the fight and
changed up her style to force Erica to waste energy.
Erica clearly sees her mistake, she let her frustration get to her and
it may have cost her the fight as she slowly returns to her corner,
rubbing her stomach as she looks to her coach for any hints, he looks
dumbfounded that she fell into the trap.
But both coach and fighter quickly try to wipe the mistakes from
memory and focus on a gameplan to get Erica's fight back on track.

Round 6:
Kendall still sees some fire in those eyes of Erica, she takes her
time, measuring Durance up with the jab and laying a beating to
Erica's body and face with her right.
Erica tries to time her strikes now, covering up before fighting out
of her guard, her hand speed is gone though compared to the fine
strikes she's taking in return.
A gutbusting right straight into her abs sends her slumped into the
ropes, maybe Kendall is feeling generous, or expects Erica to be
playing possum.
She doesn't race in even now, just smacking that jab into the face of
Erica, who is barely surviving this round right now, till she is able
to clinch up to stop the onslaught.
Her breathing has definitely quickened up, but Erica won't submit this
fight just yet and the referee has to get between them to separate
them.
Erica lands a good right to the body of Kendall and follows up with a
left up to the chin of her opponent to show she still has that
toughness that got her three title reins in her career.
But this day is looking beyond her as Kendall simply lands another
straight body shot that forces Erica into her shell, the legend being
picked apart by the quick hands of Kendall, who still doesn't pull the
trigger.
Some are wondering if Kendall is using Erica to make a statement
tonight, as Erica lunges forward with a right hand and Kendall simply
moves out the way and smacks a vicious right to the former champs left
cheek.
Erica stumbles towards the ropes as Kendall purposely walks her down
now, no backwards step as any fight back from Erica is being quickly
bottled up by the quicker movements and counters from Jenner.
Not long left in the round, Kendall smacks Erica to her nose with that
jab several times, Erica steps back and shouts "bring it!" To the
shock of the crowd, but not Kendall who comes forward to hammer Erica
in a one sided exchange that forces Erica into a corner.
The bell rings to "save" Erica, who stares at the canvas then up at
Kendall with defiance written on her bloody face, her nose looks a
mess from blood from her nostrils and now a cut across the bridge.
Kendall just ignores Erica, keeping this business like, just taking on
water from her coach, getting fixed up for the next round.
Erica is breathing hard, seeing in her corner with her arms on the
middle ropes, her coach doing his best to try and get her through
these next few rounds, but he knows she has to go for a knockout soon
or her hard work tonight will be completely wasted.

Round 7:
Kendall almost looks fresh as she comes out, the reality of course is
she isn't, but she's hammered Erica that hard this past 1 and a half
rounds that the two fighters look like polar opposites, one fresh, the
other a wreck.
Erica tries to make a fight of it, but her reactions are too slow for
her to recover from a missed right hook that Kendall gets out the way
of and gets hit by a left hook that rocks her.
Then Kendall lands her right straight into the centre of the stomach
of Erica, down goes Durance to all fours! She spits her gumshield out
and starts coughing as she tries to suck in air.
The referee is counting as Kendall stands in a neutral corner,
watching the cheering crowds faces as she's that sure she's won.
That gets proven to be right as Erica rolls to her side and cradles
her body as she curses herself for letting this happen, the referee
reaches 10 and it's game over for Erica tonight!

Winner: Kendall Jenner KO Round 7

After:
Kendall climbs the bottom rope of the nearest ropes to her and screams
to the crowd "come on!" As her excitement of another big win on her
record.
Erica has to be helped by her coach to sit up and given a moment to
catch her breath, she looks despondent at first, not believing that
she felt into the trap Kendall lay for her, especially with her
experience.
But as she looks up at Kendall, she can't fault the youngster one bit,
she kept changing to suit what was needed as Erica tried to, Kendall
simply was better tonight.
The winner herself comes over to Erica, asking how she is and after
taking her gloves off to toss onto the canvas, she helps Erica up to a
round of applause.
The girls have a quick chat, not exactly a friendly chat, just two
women telling each other how much respect they have for each other,
before fist bumping to show it.
Erica is helped out the ring by her coach, wanting her out of the main
arena so she can truly get her breath back and focus on what is next
for her.
Kendall watches her go and nods at Erica, before her hand is raised to
a loud cheer as she points at the canvas in reply and mouths "my
house"

After the announcement of her victory, Kendall steps out the ring,
high fiving people in the front row as she does a lap of honour,
before heading back up the ramp with her coach.
The journalists in the back are quick to want a statement and Kendall
looks in the mood to make one.
"I've told you, 2017 is my year; I worked my butt off to get into the
FCBA, while some people want me gone, I have beaten Bundchen, Dawson,
now Durance in the past few months, after I won the New Blood
tournament to make history in this division" she states as she stares
hard at the cameras, maybe envisioning a few doubters of hers who are
not there right now.
"I know the score, I'm a Jenner, we are famous for nothing right?! I
earned my right to walk the biggest catwalk shows in the world and as
I've said, I worked my way here, so you know what, I'm done trying to
change minds, you want to jump on my bandwagon when it gets to full
steam, do what you want, I'll remember my friends, family and fans
who've supported me since day one in this place" she adds with a hard
edge to her voice.
Before she heads off, she finishes with "before I forget with clearing
my mind, I want to thank Erica, you gave me a great taste of what a
top fighter is, no matter what people want to say about her, she's a
tough woman to beat and I had to use everything in my power to stop
her"
Then she heads off as she sees Bella Hadid and Khloe Kardashian
waiting for her, all three hugging as cameras catch an emotional
Kendall tearing up, before she smiles as the girls plan a fun weekend
together at a spa and Khloe and Kendall discuss sparring plans with
Bella as these three look to stick together against the world who see
them as a name and not who they really are inside it seems.
