Intro: The New Blood lightweight tournament final sees singer Taylor Momsen fight model and Actress Courtney Tailor for the right to be named the second champion. The 23 year old lead singer of The Pretty Reckless Taylor beat Hermione Corfield in 6 rounds to book her place here. While bikini model and Boyhood star Courtney Tailor beat rival model Sandra Kubicka in 5 rounds to earn her spot. Both fighters have been in the sponsored gym training like their lives depend on a win here, both girls know a win here could give them the spotlight they need for bigger fights or even getting signed to a stable.
Before the fight, the girls meet up at the press conference, going nose to nose, scowling at each other with real fury behind those eyes. The girls disengage to head to their tables, but clearly they want to just get to the fight. Taylor stands up first, talking to the press "this is it, the hard work I've done these past few months is finally going to come with that crown on my head" Looking at Courtney, she tells her "I remember you telling me I'd regret winning the fight against Hermione, the truth is that after I f*** you up, you'll be wanting to keep that big mouth of yours shut!" Courtney stands up, her eyes seem glued to her rivals as she tells her "why don't you just you bytch before I hurt you in that ring!" Getting straight to the point it seems. Before she states "I have been perfecting my body for the past few years, this isn't something you create in a month or two like your scrawny body" Flexing her arms as she finishes saying it, before she finishes her statement by saying "I'm going to win this tournament and prove that this lightweight division needs to be afraid of my talents" Both girls get up for the final face down, this time though there's a shoving match as the girls tell each other how much they are going to enjoy putting the other underfoot after they kick their ass. The girls are separated by the tournament organisers, with the fighters trying to lunge at each and security has to be involved to pull the girls off the stage.
Fight night, out comes Taylor first with her coach behind her, no theatrical entrance tonight, just down to business for her as she marches to the ring. Taylor is wearing a black one piece swimsuit, matching gloves and her blonde hair is put up into a ponytail. Climbing into the ring to a loud cheer, she pumps her fist to the crowd and looks ready for this as she jogs to her corner. But now it is Courtney's entrance, the slightly younger blonde is flexing her arms as her coach smiles at the side of her, then she begins her own march to the ring. She is wearing a navy blue one piece swimsuit, matching coloured gloves and her hair has been braided for this contest. Climbing into the ring, she waves for the crowd to stand and cheer, before staring hard at Taylor, who is equally unhappy to see her rival across the ring from her.
Coming nose to nose, special guest referee Heather Graham has to watch carefully that things don't explode between these two stunning women. Insults are being exchanged as Heather finishes up her instructions, then asks for a glove touch, there's a loud bang as they bash them together with no love behind that touch. After they jog back to their corners, the fighters look ready to go, so Heather signals for the bell to begin 10 rounds of lightweight boxing action.
Round 1: Off we go; both girls circle each other and start off with probing punches, the fighters coming in closer and as they get in tight they begin to let their fists go. Courtney showing she has the power advantage, driving forwards with thudding body shots as Taylor grunts and is on the back foot. The girls are fighting hard as Taylor seems to be trying to match aggression with her opponent, the action isn't for purists up to now. Courtney lands a right cross to the chin of Taylor to cause her to cover up, the model keeping in close, forcing Momsen onto her heels. A two punch combo to the body of Taylor, who fires back with a straight to the lips of Courtney. Taylor starts to move on her toes now, realising what she needs to do, problem is she takes a straight through her guard and a follow up left hook to put her on the defensive once more. Courtney concentrating on the body of her opponent, head down and fists flying to the sides of the body of Momsen. She gets Taylor near the ropes, but misses with a right hook as the singer slips under and lands an overhand right to turn Courtney's head to the side. With not long left in the round, Taylor has the best part of the round with three punches straight into the face of her face, knocking her back a step. The girls fall back in tight till the bell, where Heather is quick to nudge the fighters apart, pointing at each girls corners as she orders them to get back. Jogging to their corners, both fighters listening intently to their coaches, this is everything for these women.
Round 2: Both fighters come out quickly, Taylor though has learned not to go straight for Courtney, instead she is up on her toes, jabbing at her opponent; annoying her as she keeps moving. Courtney tightened her guard, letting the jab hit her forearms as the two go from all action to a more measured approach. Though Courtney is still hunting down her slightly older opponent, she starts to let her hands go more as she finds herself getting annoyed with getting stuck behind her guard. She lands a right hook to the body of Taylor, but gets caught by a jab and a right cross to turn her head. Momsen then lands an uppercut that puts Courtney onto her heels and suddenly she's being caught by pounding punches that put her onto the ropes. But she shows that she isn't going to hold back; coming back at Taylor, the girls firing straight punches at each others faces. Courtney starting to knock Taylor back, she's almost licking her lips as she senses she's opened up her opponent and now has her chance. Then that changes, Courtney going to land a left hook that Taylor ducks under and lands an overhand hand that puts Courtney down to her knees! Taylor quickly jogging to a neutral corner as the referee begins to count, Heather does start counting as Courtney stares up at her with eyes full of anger. She milks the count as she suffered a flash knockdown, Taylor waiting; partly urging her to get up so she can finish her off. Up at 8, Courtney shows she's OK to Heather and the action kicks off again with the model keeping her guard up, slightly worried in the back of her head of being caught again. Taylor hunting her down, using her jab to measure up her attack, then pounding her right to the body of Courtney. It's not long till the bell rings to end the round with Taylor looking excited by the events of the round, bumping her fist with her coach and giving Courtney a deathly stare. Courtney shaking her head to her coach, telling him "that lucky bytch" sitting down and ignoring her opponent, maybe a true sign of where her head is after the knockdown.
Round 3: Courtney looks apprehensive as she heads out, Taylor coming across the ring quickly; looking to end this fight as soon as she can. A jab smacking into the forearms of Courtney, starting to redden them up as she keeps her opponent on the back foot. Then she finds a gap to slip her fist through, knocking Courtney's head back and her back a few steps to the delight of her fans. Courtney though seems to have found a switch inside to make herself fight harder, she parries a right from Taylor and steps up the centre to land two straight punches to the nose of Taylor. Momsen starting to realise that she is getting too cocky as Courtney adds a right over the guard to turn her head, forcing her backwards around the ring. Then Taylor surprises Courtney by slipping under a right and digging three punches to the abs of the younger fighter. Taylor not rushing to get in too close, knowing she still hasn't taken the fight out of Courtney yet, so she changes her target, making Courtney miss and digging her punches to the body. Looking strong again, Taylor relaxes her shoulders as she let's her fists do her talking with the round heading to it's conclusion. But before it does end, she leaves her left down a little too low and as she misses with a right, Courtney cracks Taylor to her eye with a right of her own. Taylor cries out in pain and Courtney begins to land up top to knock the singers head back, blood starting to run from the bottom lip of Momsen. The bell rings to end the round, Heather risking getting hit to nudge Courtney back as she was about to land another punch. The girls glare at each other, Heather nudge both back, looking to restore order as Taylor accuses Courtney of trying to cheat. Coaches have to pull their fighters back to their corners, sitting them down and calming them down as they clean them up.
Round 4: Taylor looks to work Courtney on the outside, moving around her as she continues to look the quicker with her footwork. But Courtney looks more focused now and times a right from Taylor, parrying it and snapping her own uppercut under the chin of Taylor. Covering up after she stumbles a few steps; Taylor has to keep moving backwards, Courtney on the attack quickly. Pounding away to the body of Taylor, who is gasping as air is being driven out of her body. A right cross knocks Taylor into a corner and now she's the one who has to try and fight her way out, the girls slugging it out. But it's Courtney who is in the better position to work from, smacking her right into the bloody lips of her opponent, making her wince in pain. Taylor having to force the fighters to clinch, blinking to clear her head as Courtney whispers into her ear, clearly nothing respectful being said. Heather tries to separate the girls, as she gets them apart; Courtney shoves Taylor in the chest against the corner she was pinned in. The referee lays down the law, shouting at Courtney to keep things clean, Courtney nodding but her eyes are full of rage at what she sees as Heather getting in her way. Meanwhile Taylor has moved out the corner to open space and as the fight is ordered to continue, Courtney gets lax as she let's her temper control her. Taylor ducking several punches, before she lands an overhand right and adds a straight to the nose of Courtney, backing her up a few steps. The round ends with the girls trading stiff single punches over each others guards, Heather getting between the girls; not wanting both a chance at keep going after the bell. Both girls don't waste time with Heather, just jogging back to their corner, both girls are showing the marks of war, Taylor wincing as her coach cleans her lips up again.
Round 5: The fighters come to the ring centre, starting off this round with straight like punches as they are looking for a chance to hurt each other badly. Courtney as she has shown through the fight, is the first one to add two and three punches up top that Taylor just about gets out the way of. But it's the model on the attack quickly, digging two punches to the abs of Taylor, forcing her to keep backing up. But as Taylor is about to be pressed to the ropes, she slips out the right side of Courtney, landing a right hook as her opponent turns around. Taylor starting to land shots that bloody the nose of Courtney, blood running from her nostrils as she pushes her opponent onto the back foot. Courtney covering up as best she can, Taylor moving her punches to the body, now making Taylor gasp in pain. As she tries to land an overhand right once more, Courtney leans her head out the way, before counter punching with a right straight down the center. Both fighters falling in tight, Taylor looking frustrated and grimacing as Courtney is eating away at her body, she can only try to make the work rate of the fit model. As she is on the back foot, she clinches up with Courtney, that doesn't look good agree pundits at ringside, but after Heather separates the fighters, it is clear that she wanted the enforced separation. Working around Courtney again as the charging model is getting hit in her nose, making her groan out in pain as her head is knocked back. As she tries to work forwards, Courtney catches her with a left cross to shove her back, leading to more back and forth action between the two fighters. The round ends with both girls almost wanting to shake their heads at each other, angry that the other won't go down, before they go back to their corners.
Round 6: There seems to be some desperation coming through from each fighter, more lunging punches to start the round. It's Taylor who starts off strongly, digging her punches through the guard of Courtney to her nose, more blood flowing freely out of her nostrils. Courtney covering up more as she is finding herself being driven back, moving more quickly backwards then she has through the fight. Then she catches Taylor with a counter right as she leans out the way of a jab, then adds two more shots to the bloody lips. Both fighters really hurting each other, as they stand and trade, Taylor getting a few good punches in to finally look like she's going to win an exchange. Courtney retreating from a tight exchange for the first time, Taylor's eyes light up as she keeps coming forwards. But Taylor gets caught out of seemingly no where with a right hook to her cheek, down to all fours goes Momsen and the crowd stand up stunned. Replays show that Taylor had tried to land a straight punch and Courtney had moved her head out the way and stepped in to land her hook. Heather begins her count as Taylor waits till 4 before shoving herself up to kneel, shaking her head to clear it of cobwebs. She beats the count at 8 and holds her gloves up to show she can continue, though she doesn't quite look as good as she's trying to make out. The fight continues with Taylor soon enough pinned behind her guard on the ropes, Courtney throwing punch after punch as she tries to end the fight now. The bell rings to end the round before she can, looking up at the ceiling; Courtney wants to scream but her coach quickly us out to calm her down. Taylor looking relieved, shoving her way off the ropes and back to her corner, she tells her coach that she is OK, he doesn't look like he totally believes her either, though he knows he needs to do his job and get her back into the fight.
Round 7: Courtney looks to come on to get Taylor onto a set of ropes or the corner, but Momsen is on the move, fighting off the back foot. A few straight punches catch Courtney seems to ward off the aggressive model, Taylor looking a bit more relaxed as a right cross lands. But it's not long till Courtney finds the open space she wanted in Taylor's guard, landing a straight punches to knock the singer back.

Courtney manages to land a left hook to knock Taylor onto the ropes, stepping in so she can go to work, she screams out in frustration this time as Taylor clinches up desperately to escape punishment. Heather pulls the girls apart, Courtney quick to get back on the attack, lands a straight punch to open a cut onto the nose of Taylor. Taylor wincing as she is getting hit too cleanly now and is being pressed backwards onto her heels, her supporters trying to help her rally but it looks a lost cause. Though as the round is about to end, she manages to land a two punch combo to create some space between the fighters. The bell rings as Taylor looks to try to make inroads into winning this fight, neither fighter looks great as they look at each other. Both are bleeding, both have puffy cheeks and they are tiring somewhat as this is the longest fight in their short careers. Their coaches have their work cut out as both fighters slump to their stools, though it's Courtney who shoves herself back up to a more straight sitting position to show she isn't as badly hurt as Taylor, something not lost on the pundits at ringside, who are making feverish notes on this brutal back and forth contest.
Round 8: Not as quickly as before but the fighters still try to come out with as much gusto as they can manage, trading punches straight down the middle of each others guard. But it's Taylor who makes the first mistake this round, trying to make something happen for her, she goes for a right hook that just about misses and gets caught with a left over the top to turn her head. Taylor's legs start shaking as Courtney slams punch after punch into her unprotected face to drive her back, eyes almost rolling into the back of her head. Heather doesn't get a chance to step in to stop the fight, Courtney does it herself with a thunderous right hook that cracks Taylor right on her chin and down she goes like a sack of spuds. Kneeling down to check on Taylor, Heather waves the fight is over as the singer is knocked out on her back!
Winner: Courtney Tailor KO Round 8
After: Forgetting the pain and tiredness for a moment, Courtney climbs to the middle rope of the corner she's standing in, raising her fists into the air as the crowd start and give her a massive round of applause and a loud cheer. While Taylor is being checked over, the doctor asking for a stretcher as she will be napping for awhile, quickly medics rush in with said stretcher to load the defeated fighter onto. Courtney whether she wanted to show it or not, does have a look of respect on her face as she looks over Taylor, not saying anything as she watches her leave the ring, just glad inside that the fight is over. Soon she heads to her corner to get cleaned up, her gloves taken off and her coach tells her how proud he is of her for winning this tournament. Heather goes over to check on her and tell her that the award ceremony will be starting soon, Courtney surprises Heather by hugging her, the two blondes embrace as Heather congratulates the winner.
Then the girls head to the ring centre where the organisers like Melanie Sykes are waiting for Courtney, who stands proudly in the centre looking around at the crowd who are chanting her name. First comes the trophy, Melanie handing it to Courtney, before the winner bows so the tiara can be placed onto her head by Heather. Courtney tearing up as confetti drops into the ring, she's now the second ever New Blood lightweight champion, joining Kendall Jenner in the history books. She does a lap of honour, holding the trophy above her head as she has tears of joy running down her cheek, the big question of all the winners of these events is how far will they do after the tournament? Judging by the crowd reaction, they think Courtney can be a big star, though she'll have the eyes of the world on her now and several managers eyeing her up for their stable and for fights.
