Intro: Big chance for both girls here to make a statement as one of the BBU's best in Rebecca Hall meets FCBA contender Kendall Jenner tonight on PPV. Kendall is 21 years old, stands at 5'10 1/2 and holds a record of 12 wins, all by knockout and 3 losses in her career, she won the first ever New Blood lightweight tournament over a year ago. Rebecca is 35 years old, stands at 5'9 and holds a record of 5 wins, 4 by knockout and 2 defeats, this is her debut in the FCBA.
At the press conference, the girls met with neither being outwardly hostile to the other, just looking each other up and down, before shaking hands with each other, then heading to their tables. Kendall is giving the chance to speak first, she says "I know a few people were stunned when I beat Kaley (Cuoco), a Hall of Famer and multiple time champion, now I get to face one of the BBU's most underrated fighters in Rebecca, I guess you could say this month has been a fun one" smiling even more as she thinks back to her last fight. She adds "Rebecca has good height and is a great technical fighter from the videos I've seen on her, but I'm getting stronger with each fight as I climb up the rankings, so I know I can beat her and get back to the title hunting fights" Finishing by saying "my management has big plans for me I've been told, so get used to my pretty face this summer as you are going to be seeing it quite a bit" winking as she puts the microphone down. Rebecca starting off her own speech, says "I thank Kendall for saying I'm a great technical fighter, but underrated? Should I be offended or say thank you for that?" Grinning as she doesn't seem to care that much about it. She continues by saying "I have beaten girls like Emily Blunt in the BBU, I have beaten Kendall's stablemate Michelle Ryan, so I have proven I can win the big fights, this is type of fight is my wheelhouse and I plan on knocking you out Kendall." The girls still smile at each other, but their eyes look aggressively at the other as they stand up and come face to face. A few words are exchanged, nothing bad, just taunting each other on how ready they really are to face each other, before they head off the stage to get ready for tomorrow.
Fight night, out comes Kendall Jenner first with Melanie Sykes and Eva Carneiro by her side, she is wearing a white bikini with red gloves, her brunette hair tied into a braid. She struts down the ramp with a wide smile, nodding to some of her fans as she looks very confident, this latest run seems to be taken some of the chip off her shoulder. Climbing into the ring, she jogs over to her corner and mounts the bottom rope, her arms up in the air as she takes in the loud cheer from her fans, before getting down and warming up. Now out comes Rebecca, she has her manager and coach Nicole Ritchie by her side, she's wearing a simple black bikini with matching gloves, her long brunette hair is in a ponytail. She smiles and waves to the fans as she heads to the ring, the Hollywood star getting a lot of love from the crowd. Climbing into the ring, Rebecca bowing to each side of the ring, pointing at Kendall after she finishes and telling her "you're mine babe" before she jogs to her corner to warm up. After they get a chance to finish warming up, the fighters are brought to the ring centre, all the smiles are gone as the fighters square up to each other. Asked to touch gloves, respectfully they touch them up, then jog back to their corners, once back there; the referee signals for the bell to start 10 rounds of lightweight action.
Round 1: Out come the fighters, both up on their toes for big girls moving quickly as they test each others defences out in the early going. Kendall starting off the better though, she's quicker then Rebecca as the two come together to exchange, she beats the older fighter to the punch with a three punch combo as she gets hit with two in return. Both fighters starting to let their hands go as they know roughly how the other fights from studying them, both landing good shots through or around the others guards as they circle each other. Kendall mixes things up first, throwing a left feint, then cracking Rebecca to the cheek with a right hook, Rebecca forced back a step as Jenner starts to throw a flurry at her. Rebecca forced to cover up as she's knocked onto the ropes, Kendall digging away to the body of Hall, driving the air from her body. The English fighter having to fight her way off the ropes, catching Kendall with two cross punches to her cheek, missing with an uppercut as Kendall steps away from her, letting Rebecca off the hook. Kendall looks to be aggressive as she stalks Rebecca with her jab, Hall though shows off her skills, ducking a right cross and coming back with an overhand right, pressing the youngster back now. Jenner though shows off her own impressive footwork by stepping back out the way of a follow up right and moving back into space. Not long left in the round, the girls stand and trade with seconds to go, hoping to score points to win the round. The bell rings with both girls jogging back to their corners when prompted and Kendall nodding to her coach and manager Melanie that she knows she got that round under her belt. Rebecca sitting annoyed that she couldn't beat Kendall to the punch, she's going to have to fight smarter Nicole tells her. Round 2: Out comes Kendall quickly, hoping to build off the first round, she jabs away at the head of Rebecca, who has a tight guard, deflecting most of the punches. The youngster tries to step in and land a big right, but Rebecca ducks under it and slams two rights to the body of Kendall. Then she slips under a left and lands a right cross up top as she straightens back up, that forces Kendall behind her guard. Now it's Rebecca's turn to get on the attack, drilling Kendall to the body with rights and lefts, till Kendall sidesteps her and gets out of the firing line. Both fighters move and jab to measure the other up, Kendall landing the cleaner jabs due to her extra height, but she's looking for a big right too much, making her miss and giving Rebecca an opening. Which the older fighter takes, stepping forwards to get to the inside and working the body with rights and lefts to her sides. Rebecca backs Kendall up towards the ropes, but again she hasn't the footwork to match Kendall's speed, the youngster escaping off the ropes and moving to the ring centre. As the round is entering it's final minute, Kendall seems to sure up her defence, as Rebecca tries to slip to the inside, she's timing her coming in and catching her to her cheeks. But Rebecca moves her body one side, then deftly moves to the other and gets inside to dig three punches to the face of Kendall to back her up several steps, Jenner needing to land a stiff stars to stop herself going any further back. The bell soon rings with Kendall now being the frustrated one, starting off so well but quickly being pulled back by Rebecca. Rebecca of course smiling as she heads to her corner, getting a thrill from beating the younger fighter back after being so frustrated, banging her gloves together, she can't wait for the next round. Round 3: The fighters head to the ring centre with high guards, again they stick to trying to out box each other, moving around the other with snapping jabs. Rebecca again slips under a right and lands a hard right to the abs of Kendall, but she takes a right to the top of the head that separates the fighters. The English fighter looks a little rattled by that punch as Kendall snaps a double jab to her face and starts to back her up behind her guard. Kendall's eyes are like a hawk, looking for openings as she snaps a jab into that guard and then lands two hard punches to the ribs of Rebecca, who groans out in pain. Backed up to the ropes, Rebecca starts firing back, the girls trading hard shots as the crowd stand to get a better look. Soon though Rebecca has to clinch up to protect herself, she shakes her head to clear it as Kendall tries to break free from her grip. The referee separates the two and Rebecca escapes back into space, Kendall stalking her down with her jab as she comes onto the front foot. Rebecca though parries a jab and steps forwards to land a left cross that catches Kendall flush on the cheek, followed by a right. The older fighter starting to throw her own bunch of combos that slam into Kendall's guard, backing up Jenner now as the fight is swinging back and forth. Kendall catches Rebecca with a straight that starts some blood running from her nose, but Kendall misses with a right cross and takes an uppercut that doesn't catch her flush, it does enough damage that Rebecca presses her back into a corner. Rebecca ending the round strong as Kendall is forced to cover up in the corner, the bell ringing to maybe save Kendall as Rebecca wipes some blood from her nostril on her way back to her corner. Kendall looking up to the ceiling of the arena for a moment as she sits down, wanting to scream after letting herself get put into a bad situation, she knows she can't let Rebecca do that to her again. Round 4: Rebecca looking more aggressive as she comes on the attack with several flurries of punches, that Kendall just gets out the way of. The youngster being herded back by Rebecca, Kendall coming back with straight punches, forcing both girls in tight to dig away at the others bodies. Hall though sneaks under a right and slams two body shots in to drive Jenner back a step, then lands two cross punches to the cheeks. Kendall forced to cover up as Rebecca presses her back onto the ropes, the English fighter has her American opponent pinned with a left jab as she uses her right to swing around the guard to the body and face of the model. But Kendall fires back with a straight that catches Rebecca to her bloody nose, then lands a right cross to back her opponent up. The girls square up and trade to the others cheeks, knocking each others head side to side, till Rebecca parries a right and lands a right of her own to the ribs once again. Kendall groaning as she might be starting to feel the effects from fighting Cuoco in a 10 round war only over a week ago. Rebecca backing her up behind her guard as Kendall retreats back and it's the actress who is hunting her opponent down now. As she looks to have gotten Kendall back onto the ropes, she finds out that Kendall may have been playing possum as Rebecca tries to land a right hook. But Kendall leans out the way and lands an uppercut onto the chin of Rebecca, her legs start to wobble and as she retreats, Kendall chasing after her. She knocks Rebecca back as Hall covers up, Kendall puts her onto the ropes, a right and left catch Rebecca across her cheeks, turning her head. The bell rings with Kendall staring down Rebecca, as if knowing telling her "I know your hurt" as Rebecca stands up straight, but she's wincing as she heads back to her corner, still feeling the effects of that uppercut. Both sitting on their stools, feeling the effects of the fight as both their faces are marked up, their bodies not much better. But it's Rebecca who looks worst for wear, her nose is bleeding as she is trying to clear her head, Nicole trying to get her ready for the next round. Round 5: Kendall coming out quickly as Rebecca tries to fight off the backfoot, problem is she clearly hasn't recovered as she eats s straight onto her nose to cause her to groan out loudly and lower her guard. A right and left hook catches Rebecca and down she goes to her back as her legs crumble under her, Kendall raising her arms as she heads to a neutral corner. The referee counting as Rebecca looks up at the ceiling, her eyes blinking and the count soon reaches 10 without her moving from her spot on the canvas, the fight is over.
Winner: Kendall Jenner KO Round 5
After: Kendall heads over to Rebecca, kneeling next to her to check she's OK, the English girl has a small grin as she replies "I'll be OK, just a little dizzy" Their coaches come to check on both, Melanie helping take the gloves off Kendall, the two smiling at each other as the teacher looks proud of her student. Kendall helping Rebecca sit up as Nicole gets her fighters gloves off, the two embrace as Kendall tells Rebecca "you certainly had me worried babe" as the two laugh. Soon both fighters are helped up as Kendall let's Rebecca leave the ring, the crowd cheering the Hollywood star as she heads up the ramp. Rebecca stopping to blow kisses to the crowd, she isn't taking the loss badly as she knows she can get back onto the winning run she was on soon enough. While Kendall celebrates by jogging around the ring pumping her right fist to the crowd, getting a loud cheer as she gets them going. Before she leaves the ring, she shouts "thank you guys!" To her fans, her, Melanie and Eva leaving together with big smiles on their faces as they head to the back.
Where the press want a quick word with the winner, who gives them a few words, "Rebecca has my respect after that fight, she didn't seem to go away any time I caught her, till that uppercut caught her flush, even then I have to admit that I expected her to keep coming" "But I won, that's the main thing for me, get these big fights with top talents, get the rounds in and then hopefully I can rightfully earn a title shot, that's for the future though, plenty of time to worry about that in future" says Kendall as she looks proud of herself. She finishes by saying "I'm going to keep active as I've said, so expect two more major fights on the beaches as my team has two fighters in mind, though they are still discussions, I think the fights will happen next month, so keep watch for this pretty face" winking as the Girls Friday group head off to the stable locker room. The summer of Kendall appears to have just begun with two impressive wins to her name, can the run really continue as we enter beach fighting season?
