Hilary Rhoda versus Hannah Ferguson (Welterweight Title)

(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)

(Vixens vs Girls Friday)

Intro:
The FCBA welterweight title is on the line as Hannah Ferguson looks to
get back her title against the champion Hilary Rhoda.
Hannah is 25 years old, stands at 5'10, she holds a record of 18 wins,
17 by knockout and only 2 defeats, she is a former FCBA welterweight
champion.
Hilary is 30 years old, stands at 5'11 and holds a record of 13 wins,
all by knockout and only 1 defeat, this is the second time she is
defending the title.
These two met in April, it was ironically Hannah's second defence and
she won with a controversial 8th round knockout.
As the two met at the press conference though, the normally abrasive
Hannah actually smiled and both girls shook hands with a big smile on
their faces.
Hannah points at the belt as she says "you've kept it shiny for me I
see" as her usual self seems to return, Hilary laughing it off as she
raises the belt over her head.
Both go nose to nose as their competitive spirits start to take over,
but as the organisers speak to them about going to their seats, they
separate shaking their heads with grins on their faces.
Hannah speaking first, "well I feel like it's been a year since I held
that belt, to think it's just 5 months; that's how much that title
means to me, no matter how I feel about Hilary, I will batter her into
the canvas to take that title from her"
Continuing with "I will give Hilary credit, she beat Kate Upton; the
one thing that I badly want to do too, so I don't say this often but I
do honestly respect her and like her"
Smirking though she finishes by turning to tell her opponent "that
title is coming home to the best waist in all of boxing" winking at
Rhoda.
Who has a chuckle, before replying "that's why I love you Hannah,
people look at us and I know they wonder how come we are friends, they
see Hannah get in everyone's face, hell you saw she got into mine"
Turning to Hannah she adds "but it's the fact she is totally honest is
why I like her, she speaks her mind over everything no matter how
people will react"
Her tone changing more serious "the title though is staying with me, I
didn't work my tail off to get it to give it away to anyone"
Standing up, she lifts up the title "I am going to beat you babe, then
you are going to buy me the first round of beers" reminding the crowd
of journalists about the famous bet these two have going each time
they fight.
As the two girls face off one final time, pundits wondering who will
be the one buying the beers as the girls look so evenly matched up.
Fight night, Hannah is out first; she looks hyped for this as she
pounds her chest with her right fist, before starting to walk down to
the ring with coach Steve Boyd.
She's wearing a gold sports bra with silver trim, gold trunks with
"Ferguson" in silver letters, while she has golden gloves and her
blonde hair braided, maybe wanting to take the title of the FCBA's
golden girl.
Climbing into the ring, she jogs to her corner, shouting to the
cheering crowd "time to take back what's mine!" Before turning and
showing her skills off with Steve drilling her.
Now out comes the champ! Hilary has Lauren Berlingeri and Eva Carneiro
by her side, all three girls looking deadly serious, Hilary only has
eyes on her challenger as Lauren holds the belt up.
As she marches to the ring, Hilary is wearing a black sports bra with
white trim, she has black trunks with a white crown with a sword
through it design on the left leg for her 'Queen slayer' nickname,
white gloves and her own brunette hair tied into a braid.
Entering the ring, she gives Hannah a quick nod, before heading to her
corner and showing her own skills off, the crowd already licking their
lips for what they hope will live up to the hype.
Both fighters brought to the ring centre, the referee handed the belt
as he shows the crowd it before each fighter.
As this goes on surprisingly the girls are already touching gloves,
their eyes are locked together though in a truly intense staredown.
Bumping gloves as the referee finishes his instructions, the girls
head back to their corners eager as the referee hands the belt off to
the timekeeper and signals for the bell to start 10 rounds of FCBA
welterweight title action.

Round 1:
"Ding" off we go, both girls eyes locked as they circle with their
guards up, testing each others defences with their punches to see how
each has developed since their first fight.
Hannah looking the more confident you could say as she moves her head
out the way of a straight and steps inside to bang away with three
punches, one to her abs and two to the lips of Rhoda.
Who misses as Hannah dances back out the way with a cocky grin etched
onto her face, that is wiped away as she tries to sneak to the inside
of Hilary's again though.
As she comes forwards; Hilary catches her with a clipping right to the
back of her ear, following quickly with two cross punches to her
cheeks to ruffle her feathers.
Maybe Hannah overly confident as she leaves her guard a little low,
Hilary making her pay with a right across her face, with an uppercut
just missing.
Both girls moving and connecting through the others guards with stiff
jabs, each looking for a moment of weakness so they can do some real
damage.
The champion spots her chance, slipping under a left cross and digging
away with three punches to her abs, hearing a rush of air from her
opponents lips.
Ferguson forced to cover up as Hilary drives her back towards a
corner, only a straight catching her on the nose stops Hilary from
fully pressing her into the corner.
The challenger looking more focused as she drills her jab into the top
of Hilary's head and her abs to slow her down.
Both girls landing with straight punches either on the others guard or
lips and nose as the seconds tick away, the bell ringing soon enough
with both giving the other a small nod, that probably the last moment
of respect between these two.
As they sit down, the fighters look happy how that round went, with
them having some good moments, the Girls Friday corner looking
slightly happier as they feel the champ has started better.

 
Round 2:
The girls starting more quicker, stepping in closer to land a few
flurries of punches on the others gloves, both still defending we
though as this means so much too them, no mistakes is running through
their minds.
Hannah again though looks to hurt Hilary to the inside, landing a
stiff right to her ribs and leaning out the way of a right aimed at
her cheek.
The blonde stunner lands a follow up right to the lips of her
opponent, then a left to the ribs to start driving her back, the focus
of her attack on the body of the champion.
Hilary comes back at her with an uppercut that knocks the challengers
head back, Hannah cursing herself for leaving herself open as she
retreats with the brunette looking to hunt her down.
But Hannah shows why she is one of the best pound for pound fighters
in all of celeb boxing by weathering the storm of punches onto her
arms from Hilary, before she slips under a right hook into space.
The champion looking frustrated at failing to do much with that
attack, it becomes worse when Hannah slams a right cross to her chin,
turning her head and opening her up to more punishment.
Hannah tearing away at the face of Hilary with three straight punches
knocking sweat off the champs head, using her momentum to beat Rhoda
into the ropes.
Hilary having to cover up as the round heads to it's end, with her
opponent really digging away to her body, hoping to drain the energy
from her.
The bell ringing with Hilary looking visibly annoyed, she slaps the
top rope with her right glove as Lauren has to remind her to keep her
emotions in check.
In the other corner Hannah looks her usual cocky self again, blowing a
kiss to her coach and winking to him as he goes about preparing her
for the next round.

Round 3:
Hannah looking to get straight into the action, maybe unwisely as
Hilary catches her around her face with her long range strikes, moving
backwards as Hilary looks to control the pace.
Problem is she misses with a stiff jab and eats a right to the side of
her head, as Hilary's guard is opened up; Hannah again smacks her
across the face with two more punches.
A straight punch to the champions nose forces blood to trickle out her
nostrils, with Hilary forced to cover up and retreat back.
Hannah of course keeping in tight, digging away to the body with two
short sharp punches, before digging her right up top to the cheek of
her opponent.
Hilary forced to push Hannah to her jugs to open up space, before both
fighters give a little snarl and come straight at each other.
Letting their hands go more as they come into midrange, circling each
other before planting their feet to trade, before splitting apart.
Hannah once more tries to come in tight, but Hilary reads her and
moves out the way of a left hook, firing her own strike into the side
of the blonde models face.
Leading to Hilary starting to push Hannah onto the back foot, landing
two rights straight through to the lips of her challenger, making
Ferguson cry out in pain.
But Hannah fires back, leading to a toe to toe exchange between two
hard hitters, leading to sweat flying from both fighters.
The round ends not long after with them both fighters just about
holding back, a nasty glare exchanged as that competitive urge to be
the best overrides any friendship these two have.
But they head back to their corners without any incident, the crowd
looking stoked for this fight as a duel chant begins, both fighters
allowing themselves a quick smile before they get back into the zone.
Hannah still looking the more confident as Steve tells her "you've
taken control of the scorecards, don't relinquish that grip OK?" Which
gets a nod from Ferguson.

Round 4:
The action kicks off again quickly between these two, snapping punches
into the others face and abs as they circle in tight, heads nearly
clashing as they strike.
Hannah just goings to look the more aggressive though as she look to
hammer away on the inside again, landing a straight to make the nose
of the brunette start bleeding again.
The champ grimacing as she takes a few body shots, air escaping her
lips now as she's forced to retreat backwards with a grinning Hannah
giving chase.
Big mistake it seems by Hannah, Hilary with a nice turn of power,
plants her feet and slams an uppercut into the chin of her fellow
stunner, Hannah getting her head knocked back and she falls onto her
ass!
The champs fans whoop as Hannah shakes her head to try and clear it,
the referee counting her as she turns and looks at him, waiting for
the right time to stand, beating the count at 8 to a loud roar from
her fans.
Hilary grits her gumshield, annoyed that Ferguson beat the count, deep
dowm knowing it will take more then that to put this tough challenger
down and out.
The girls resume with some of the bluster blown out the sails of
Hannah, maybe that knockdown is lingering as her work rate goes down,
with her focusing more on protecting her chin.
It leaves her open to some revenge for Hilary, who targets the body of
Hannah with some thudding hooks, the blonde can be heard gasping as
she covers up more tightly.
The champion smiles as she actually starts controlling the pace,
feinting with her left and slamming her right around the guard to the
side of her opponents head.
As the round heads to it's end, Hannah tries to fire back, landing
glancing punches to the face of Hilary, who lands a hard straight to
open up the bottom lip of the beautiful Hannah and force a pained cry
out of her.
The bell rings with Hannah looking to Steve to fix her up as she heads
back to the corner, the coach trying to keep her spirits lifted by
telling her his plan to celebrate with her, champagne is mentioned.
While Hilary looks ready to shout out "yes!" As she sits on her stool,
Lauren smiling at her to let her know how big a round that was, while
Eva works on stopping the bleeding to her nose again.
Round 5:
The champion now looking so much more assured, coming forwards behind
her jab to keep Hannah on the defensive, Hilary using her right to dig
through gaps to land up top and to the body.
Hannah looking slightly frustrated herself as she can't find a way to
really fight back, landing a few single punches to the nose of Rhoda
to more bug her at the moment then really hurt her.
A left to her ribs opens her guard enough for Hilary to hammer two
rights onto those bloody lips of Hannah, who cries out and finds
herself being driven onto her heels.
Hilary looking to really hurt her badly now as she rips away at the
abs of her opponent, sweat being knocked off Hannah's body as she
groans out.
The challenger trying to fight back, lands another strike to the
bloody nose and a right to the left eye of the champion, who retreats
back with a tear in her eye.
Hannah looking to build off of that last punch, finds air though as
she misses with a right hook, instead finding a straight slamming into
the top of her head.
Before Hilary connects with two hooks to knock Hannah's head around,
the challenger forced onto her heels in retreat as the champ rushes
forwards.
Hannah finding herself pressed to the ropes as Hilary slams her
punches around the guard to the side of her head, making Ferguson's
fans wince.
She manages to pull Rhoda into a clinch though, stopping the brunette
as the two grapple on the ropes, showing their teeth in an almost
primal warning to the other.
The referee struggles, but does break them apart, with Hilary trying
to strike fast and hard, but finding air herself as Hannah leans back,
countering with three punches slamming into the cheeks of Rhoda.
Before Hannah presses her back towards the ring centre with a hard
right cross that looks to break up some swelling on the cheek of
Hilary.
But with neither having a give up button it seems, they settle into
beating each other as the 10 second warning buzzer sounds, both
slugging the other to the face with some real vicious shots.
By the time the bell rings, both have marks across their cheeks, some
puffiness doesn't hell their looks either as they go nose to nose,
telling each other "is that all you got!" "I expected more champ!"
Till the referee steps in and shoves them apart.
After sitting on their stools, both fighters need to be seen by their
coaches and cut staff, they are really starting to feel this fight,
but the title is driving them on.

Round 6:
Hilary looks to be really getting into a groove as she gets right into
Hannah's face, trying to back her opponent up with several punches
smacking off her guard.
The challenger on the other hand looks to be more up on her toes,
moving side to side to try to make the champion have to think about
her attacks.
Both fighters start scoring over the top with hard straight shots
slamming into the others wounds, blood is starting to run more freely
down both their lower faces now.
Hilary looking to be more aggressive, stepping inside to work the body
with several digging punches, Hannah gasping as she gets pushed back.
Till Hannah nudges her back with her left, then swings a hard right
hook that knocks Hilary's head to the side and a left knocks Hilary to
her ass!
The referee begins to count as Hilary stares at the canvas, blood
dripping off her nose to the canvas, looking angry at herself for
letting herself get caught like that, she punches the canvas, before
pushing herself up to her feet to beat the count at 8.
After Hilary is checked on, the fight is ordered to continue, with
Hannah going straight for her with two straight punches landing onto
the nose of the champion.
Sweat and blood flying into the air as Hilary is knocked back to the
ropes, the referee looks closely to see if the champ can defend
herself, Hilary maybe spotting him as she pulls the blonde into
another clinch.
Both can be seen talking to each other, the words don't sound too
friendly, both laughing in the others ear in reply till the referee
pulls the girls apart.
Hannah of course tries to keep the pressure on Hilary, but the champ
seems to have recovered enough to fight back, leading to both nearly
clashing heads again as they both come onto the inside, sweat flying
off both girls as they slug it out in tight.
The bell rings with both nudging each other back, before turning to
jog back to their corners, Hannah looking to have pulled back the
scorecard to her favour or at least a tie.
The fighters shut their eyes as their coaches work on them, the pain
they are going through to try to win this fight, both bang their
gloves together to psyche themselves up to continue this brutal
contest.

Round 7:
Hannah now looks to get into the face of Hilary, too keenly it seems
as she takes a straight onto her bloody lips to make her yelp.
The champ looking to recover control of the fight, dips her head and
nearly rams it into Ferguson's face, her fists landing into the
breadbasket of the blonde to drive her back a few steps.
But Hannah starts to fight back after nudging Hilary back a step, the
two of them slugging it out, gasps and groans can be heard over the
sounds of leather smacking flesh.
Soon the fighters shove each other apart, circling with bitter looks
on their faces, they think the same thing "you will not stop me
getting what I want" before Hannah tries to wade in with two hooks
that just about miss.
Instead Hannah takes two punches onto her lips, she reels back as she
covers her mouth, Hilary looks excited, this is her chance she feels
as she smacks two cross punches to the swollen cheeks of her title
rival.
Hannah backed onto the ropes, the crowd stand to get a closer look as
they wonder if this is the home stretch for Hilary to keep her title,
the champ smacking punch after punch onto that guard to try and break
it open.
She isn't having much success, Hannah times her counter attack,
slamming her fist into the bloody nose of Hilary, whose head snaps
back, before she takes a vicious right.
Hilary dancing back to space, then brings her glove up to touch her
head, seeing blood as a cut has been opened up by Hannah.
Who shows her teeth at the sight, it seems to have pumped her up as
Hilary covers up with seconds left in the round till the bell sounds.
Hilary looking worried as she daps her forehead with her glove,
sitting on her stool as Eva quickly gets to work, the ringside doctor
stands up to keep watch on the repairs as Lauren talks her fighter
through what she's going to do.
In the opposite corner, Hannah looks to be running on her emotions,
she can smell victory in the air if she can keep piling the pressure
on the champion.

Round 8:
The bleeding has stopped on the champ but she looks much more
defensive, maybe hoping for a judges decision as she jabs away at
Hannah.
Keeping the challenger back as she tries to circle around her on
tiring legs, Hilary landing a right cross as Hannah moves to strike,
but no follow up showing the champ is in real trouble mentally.
Hannah notices this, becoming patient with her attacks, moving her
head more as Hilary keeps her left out to keep her back, till the
challenger finds her opening.
Swatting the left aside with her right, Hannah quickly steps inside
leading to both trading on the inside, but Hilary is looking to
retreat, unwisely as the blonde keeps in tight with shots thudding off
the body of Rhoda.
Who is being driven around the ring behind her guard, a right to her
nose makes her cry out, opening a bigger gap for Hannah to hammer away
at.
Rhoda pressed onto the ropes, taking multiple shots to her arms as she
does her best to protect herself, but she is still getting cracked
across the face, blood and sweat being knocked off her face onto the
judges table as they watch this pounding happening right in front of
them.
Till Hilary pulls Hannah into a clinch, she's silent as Hannah can be
heard telling her "you are not worthy of the title 'Queenslayer' just
give up now" with the referee struggling to pry the girls apart.
After he does separate them, Hilary does show some fight, maybe those
words stinging too much to let them slide, as both connect with heaf
rocking punches.
But a right across the head of Hilary opens her cut up again, she
looks ready to cry as she covers up again and accepts a beating onto
her arms.
The bell rings not long after with Hilary looking a shell of the woman
who stepped into the ring at the start of the fight, she slowly heads
to her corner with Eva keeping herself focused on working on her
friend, tears are in her eyes though, showing how badly Rhoda has been
beating up.
Hannah looks on coldly at Hilary, the ice cold look hides the
different emotions churning inside of her, "so close" she says to
herself as she's cleaned up of sweat and blood.
Round 9:
Hilary makes it out to fight, again looking to jab and move to survive
this fight, though pundits even agree she is most likely behind on the
cards by now or close to it.
But her spirit won't let her quit as she slams a right into the abs of
Hannah, suddenly Hilary looks like she's going to attack as the girls
stand and trade.
As a right hook makes her wobble to the side, the Girls Friday corner
can't watch as Hilary takes two more vicious hooks across her face,
her legs starting to crumble as a vicious right to her face knocks her
onto her back!
Hannah jogging to her corner, a tear forming in her own eye as she
looks down at Hilary, whose stirring; but only barely as she tries to
turn over to push herself up.
She barely gets turned though as the referee counts to 10 and waves
the fight off with Hannah winning the title!

Winner and New FCBA welterweight champion Hannah Ferguson KO Round 9

After:
Hannah falls to her knees, her own nightmare of hunting for the title
she once owned is over, she is the champion once again and her
emotions are all over the place right now.
The former champion meanwhile has her corner team and the ringside
doctor beside her, Hilary is sobbing into her gloves, all the hard
work she put in to win the title, the dream of proving she was the
best fighter in this division has been taken from her.
Eva and Lauren are both crying, they have seen Hilary work harder then
anyone in the stable, to see her laying like this, dejected and
defeated isn't a sight they ever want to see again as they help her
sit up and cuddle her.
She just stays silent, looking at Hannah, whose sobbing also into her
gloves, the moment she wanted is with her friend, she so badly wants
to hate her, to rush over and rip her head off, but she can't do it;
she knows Hannah is exactly like her, it stings to know that Hannah
has beaten her twice though.
Both girls are helped to their stools, they lean against the
turnbuckles, happily taking all the help they can get to be cleaned
and patched up.
The referee comes over to Hannah to hand her the belt, she looks at it
with keen eyes, almost as if seeing it for the first time, she is so
happy to see it again that she hugs it tight, telling herself "I won't
give you up so easily this time" as her coach Steve smiles.
But she hands him the title, surprising him as she gets up and heads
to Hilary's corner, Rhoda and the GF crew not even noticing her title
she surprisingly meek for her asks "can I see Hilary?"
Lauren and Eva turn around shocked, but after looking at Hilary who
nods, they step aside to let the fighters have a moment.
"My god Hilary, your face; I'm sorry I had to go so far to win" says
Hannah as she sees the cut on Hilary's head, her cheeks are swollen up
and her right eye is getting a heel of a shiner.
Hilary replies "you are no prize painting yourself" as she looks at
Hannah's equally puffy face, her fat lip and her own shiner up her
left eye, it's almost as if they have just noticed what they did to
each other.
The girls look questioningly at each other, wondering what to say to
each other, Hilary breaks the ice "I don't hate you if that is what
you are worried about" making Hannah look relieved.
The former champion pulling herself up to stand with Hannah helping
her up, leading to then embracing and crying.
"I respect you so much! God you're the only one I say that too" Hannah
tells Hilary, who smiles and replies "you know I love and respect you
too champ" the first time she's called Hannah that.
Both wipe their tears away as Hilary looks around and waves Steve
over, he jogs over wondering what the hell is going on, till the
former champ rips the title from his hands.
He is about to protest when Hilary goes behind Hannah and attaches the
bell around her waist in a sign of ultimate respect, the crowd cheers
both on and gives them a round of applause.
"Drinks on me at my house this weekend OK, I have a new champion to
toast" says Hilary as Hannah gives her a kiss on the cheek as a thank
you for being a great friend and rival.
Hilary leaves the ring with help from her friends, still feeling sore
and down, but she has climbed the mountain top once, she can do it
again is the message she tells herself.
While Hannah tells a camera "the pride of Texas is back on top and any
challengers better line up nicely as I aim to knock you dumb bytches
out one by one" reminding people she doesn't always play nice.
Steve giving her a big kiss, one he regrets when Hannah points at her
sore lip, quickly apologizing with the promise of a very special
massage for his champion.
Hannah grabs his hand and leads him out the ring, she has plenty of
celebrating to do this weekend with plenty of girls wanting to fight
her for the gold.
