(Free Agent vs Free Agent)
Intro: The second bout tonight sees Bebe Rexha step back into the ring to take on freshly on the free Agent list; Rita Ora. Bebe is 28 years old, she stands 5'5 and holds a record of 0 wins and 1 defeat to Kaya Scodelario on the beaches of Santa Barbara last August. While Rita is 27 years old, also stands 5'5 and her record is 2 wins, both by knockout and 3 defeats so far in her short career. The fighters meet at the press conference and look each other up and down, smirking to themselves as clearly neither is impressed by what they see. Before the head to their tables to begin this properly, with Bebe first up to speak; saying "I've been waiting by the phone too long for another fight, are managers and organisers blind around here?" "I mean look at Rita; her lack of success is what led to her stable going under right? I mean you didn't help at all" Says Bebe directly to Rita, who looks like steam should be coming out her nostrils. Rita replies "what happened to my stable is nothing to do with you, but for opening your fat lips to spout that crap, I am going to enjoy dismantling you piece by piece you Kardashian looking wannabe" Now it's Bebe who scowls, especially as Rita adds "the reason no one wants to face you is because like your music, nobody has heard of you and when they do, they see how full of sh*t you are!" Bebe and Rita charge each other; getting into a good little hair pulling fight till security manages to split them apart, eyes burning holes through their rival counterparts as they are led off the stage. Fight night; out comes Bebe first wearing a yellow sports bra, trunks, shoes and gloves, her blonde hair is braided. Heading to the ring; she has both arms up in the air as she struts down the ramp, a big grin on her face as she seems to be acting like this is one of her big tour dates and she is on stage. Now in the ring, she does a lap on the inside; blowing kisses to her adoring fans and ignoring the Rita supporters who boo her. Rita arrives at the top of the ramp, wearing a navy blue hoodie as she jogs to the ring, the crowd seems mixed as she waves to them, a clear divide between these fighters fans. Stepping into the ring, Rita takes off the hoodie to reveal a sparkly navy blue sports bra, matching trunks with white strips down the sides, blue gloves and shoes, while her own brunette hair is braided too. Stepping to the ring centre, "I hope you don't choke too badly, I want this to be a fight" arrogantly states Bebe as Rita just stares right through her. Asked to touch gloves; the fighters thud them together before heading to their corners, ready to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.
Round 1: Out come the fighters, Rita looks to move around her opponent and test her out, Bebe clearly has other ideas as she throws a feint jab and steps inside to bang her right off the side of her opponent's head. Rita is forced to fight back in a hot tempered exchange, with the girls going toe to toe and the crowd roaring their delight at the intensity of these two. Bebe shoves Rita back to her jugs, she isn't looking for this to be a boxing match as much as a brawl it seems, forcing Rita onto her heels and keeping her there with two straight punches off the top of her head. That pushes Rita back on the defensive, covering up as Bebe keeps the pressure on her with head hunting punches that slam of the gloves of Ora. Bebe lands two short sharp body punches and follows with an uppercut to shove Rita onto the ropes, Rita covering up as she takes a beating around her guard. She clinches up to stop the assault as the crowd look stunned by the aggressiveness of Bebe, the referee breaks them apart. Once apart; Rita starts to get some rhythm going as Bebe shows her rookie tenacities, leaving herself open too much as she misses with wide punches, looking for an early knockout. A jab from Rita opens Bebe up, ducking under a left cross and comes back with an overhand right to knock her back a step. The bell rings to end a very physical start between the two; Bebe has to be held back by the referee, clearly she has a bee in her bonnet from her first loss and her clear disdain for Rita. Who just tries to shake off the bad round she's had, telling herself "I've got this, just let her act stupid and make her pay"
Round 2: The fighters come out again with Bebe continuing to look getting into the face of her opponent, leading to Rita having to fight off the back foot. Now that Rita knows what Bebe is going to do, she starts relying on her quick hands and head movement, digging her fists through gaps in Rexha's guard to her face. The Brit is looking much better, while both land several jab; each time Bebe tries to open up, she is getting caught across her face and body. Rita stepping inside to land a right cross, followed by three quickly thrown shots to the abs of Bebe to drive air out of her. Bebe manages to land a left cross as Rita tries to step back, the American looking to keep the pressure on her opponent, leading to the fighters trading in tight. But the more experienced fighter nudges Bebe back with her left shoulder, landing a right cross and a left to push Bebe further back. Rita now is the one keep going forwards, working the body of her opponent as she looks to wear her out, ducking and weaving around punches aimed at her head. Bebe looks frustrated as the round ends, understandably so after such a strong start, all she can do is stare daggers at Rita as she gets to her corner. Both fighters faces already are getting marked up as their coaches work on cleaning them up, neither is going to accept defeat easily judging by their body language.
Round 3: The fighters start off more controlled with measuring jabs, Rita continues to show that she is the better technician of the two, landing the cleaner punches due to that hand speed she has shown in videos and her early fights. But Bebe surprises Rita; she barrages into her more slick rival with her left arm and slings a right that smacks her rival across the face. She bullies Rita back towards the ropes, landing two punches across her face to drive her back towards the ropes. Rita forced to cover up as she feels the ropes on her back, Bebe slamming her punches into the gloves of her opponent, who again clinches up to halt Bebe's momentum. Once parted, as Bebe tries to bum rush Rita once more, she unwisely leaves herself open to a right hook that cracks into the side of her head. Rita wanting to show that she doesn't she isn't going to be pushed around, stepping in to trade with Bebe, happy to take several hits to strike away at the body of Rexha. Before she slips under a right and slams her own left into the jugs of her rival, lashing three rights into the ribs of her opponent to make her cry out in angst. Bebe shoves Rita back; the girls trading as they try to knock each other backwards, Rita needing to step out the firing line as this time Bebe wins the exchange, her power is still there it seems. The bell rings with the fighters jogging to their corners and Bebe looking more confident, her eyes locked onto Rita's as she mouths "your mine" across the ring. Rita unfazed by the arrogant bytch as she sees her, she knows what she must do, it's just about timing in her mind when to strike.
Round 4: Bebe looks to come out strongly, meeting near the ring centre with Rita as the fighters trade punches around the others head. The blonde pressing Rita back around the ring after landing two straight punches to the nose, Rita is behind her guard as she moves back. But Rita parries a left aimed at her head, landing a counter left of her own across the lips of Bebe and a follow up right slams across the top of her head. Now Rita is the one hammering Bebe back, moving back from her when Rexha tries to counter, leaving herself open to punches. A hard right under the rib of Bebe; forcing a groan off her and Rita starts to really open up, slamming her punches into the body. Bebe clinches up with Rita to stop the assault, the girls are chatting away but it certainly doesn't look a friendly conversation as the referee struggles to pry them apart. Separated; Bebe manages to land a straight on the incoming Rita on her nose, a small trickle of blood runs from it. Bebe looks to get at Rita, who takes the punches of her gloves as she retreats, the American looking to open her up to some real damage. But she leaves herself too open once again, leading to Rita making her pay with an uppercut that knocks her head back. Rocking the head of Bebe with cross punches, Rita has a look of pure focus, battering Bebe back onto the ropes, with the blonde covering up under the assault. The bell rings to stop Rita for the moment, with her eyes lighting up full of anger as Bebe stares defiantly at her, even though her left eye looks up to be shutting. Back in their corners to be worked on, Rita looks eager to get up to fight, while Bebe can only hope she can find the knockout punch soon.
Round 5: Now Rita has to show how clinical she can be, she keeps to the left of Bebe, who is struggling to keep her in front of her, leading to Rita jabbing away at the swollen eye of the blonde. A right hook turns Bebe's head and looks to rock her as she stumbles back, Rita keeping at her; slamming straights into her face. AS BEBE REELS BACK ONTO THE ROPES, A RIGHT HOOK CATCHES BEBE ACROSS HER FACE AND PUTS HER DOWN TO HER SIDE! The referee counts 1...2..3...4... Bebe holding the side of her face as she groans 5...6...7... Bebe looks to be too hurt to do anything as.. 8...9...10 she is counted out!
Winner Rita Ora KO Round 5
After: Rita gets back that winning feeling as she flexes her arms and smiles the biggest smile we've seen off her in months, the fact it was a win over someone she doesn't like is a bonus. While Bebe is helped to sit up, staring through her good eye at Rita and muttering to her coach how much she hates Rita. The victor just ignores her, doing a lap inside the ring with her arms up in the air, the crowd cheering her on to make Bebe even more upset. Bebe shouting "lucky bytch!" As her coach helps her up and she climbs out the ring soon with a upset look on her face, looking close to tears on her way up the ramp. As Rita shouts "go f*** yourself!" These two are not going to be found hugging each other any time soon, the crowd eating this up. Cheering louder then before as Rita gets her hand up and waves off Bebe, turning back to chat to her coach about the fight as they smile, seemingly happy with the performance. Though she has work to do for when she moves up in class again, she was bullied a little too much for some pundits liking at ringside. But it's about getting back into ring shape though after a lay off, Rita happy enough though and looking to continue making her name through the year in the bantamweight division.
