(Fighting Academy vs Girls Friday)

Intro:
The long awaited fight between Karlie Kloss and Michelle Ryan takes place tonight in the world famous Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Karlie is 24 years old, she stands at 6'1, holds a record of 9 wins, all by knockout and 3 defeats, she is the first ever winner of the New Blood tournaments.
Michelle is 33 years old, stands several inches smaller at 5'7, holds a record of 18 wins, 15 by knockout and 16 defeats.
This fight has been banded around for awhile between these two big hitters in the welterweight division, a win for both will certainly push them high up the rankings and possibly into title contention.

Both fighters were interviewed in their gyms, Karlie telling the press as she sat in front of the ring "Michelle has been around the top of the rankings this past year, but honestly I can't tell you how"
Adding "I mean I am up there because look at the run I had coming into the FCBA" pointing at her fingers as she lists off accomplishments "New Blood champ, I beat Lancaster, Romijn and Righetti early in my career"
Finishing with "while yes I've hit road bumps, I am confident in my stable as they push me to be the best and I won't let them down, meaning lights out for Michelle"
Michelle just smirking as she talks to the press in her stable managers office "Karlie is just a tall bytch; I watched her closely during the New Blood tournament, then her super win right against Righetti, you know what I think, she has been the luckiest fighter on the planet"
She gets a few funny looks, but she adds "I mean Righetti took her to the woodshed in their rematch, Gemma Atkinson punished her when she f***ed her way to a title shot and my dear stablemate Hilary (Rhoda) battered her into a mess, in fact that's the video on her I laugh at the most"
She finishes her own statement by saying "I helped clean the deadwood from this division, now I show Karlie that several of the fittest isn't just a saying, I am going to batter the f***er into the ground so she'll never see the summit of the mountain, well maybe when I retire in 10 years" laughing to herself.

Both girls are soon brought to the ring centre, staring holes through each other as the height difference is noticeable to say the least as they meet for the first ever time in their lives.
Asked to touch gloves, Michelle tells Karlie "you can kiss my arse" turning and heading to her corner, Karlie jokingly saying "promises, promises" winking to Kelly as she heads to her corner, this being easily the most confident she's looked in her career.

Winner Karlie Kloss KO Round 8

After:
An absolute brutal performance by Karlie, Michelle had a small moment in the middle of the fight but that was all, as Karlie made her face look wrecked.
A stretcher is brought into the ring, medics rushing to get Michelle out of the ring safely and into the back to give her medical attention.
The Girls Friday corner looking upset, Girls Friday assistant manager Melanie Sykes comes down from the VIP section to check on Michelle, then sees why the towel wasn't thrown in, she gives the girls a loud telling off, saying "I'd have dealt with her if she complained, never risk a fighters health, rule 1 OK!"
The court enquiry looks to continue in the Girls Friday camp as they head to their locker room to discuss what happened and any punishments.

Karlie meanwhile doesn't care about the drama, the smile across her face as she gets her gloves taken off and she gets washed down isn't going to disappear for a while.
The victor waves to the crowd as she does a lap of honour, her hand gets raised by the referee in the ring centre to a loud roar from her fans.
Asking for a microphone, after she gets one, she says "thank you guys for your support! You guys are always amazing as we come here and I hope you guys continue to support me as I hunt down the title" blowing a kiss to the fans as she hands the mic back over to a stage hand.
Leaving the ring with Kelly to go get changed and celebrate, she has certainly got herself right into the title hunt again, first beating Martha Hunt, now tonight, Hilary Rhoda may not be in a hurry to give her a rematch and a shot at the title after this performance, but hopefully we do see that fight again not before long.
