(Girls Friday vs Lookout Atlantic)
Intro: Next up is the BBU lightweight title fight, Rebecca Hall looking to take the title for the first time off of the champion Alessandra Ambrosio. The challenger Rebecca is 35 years old, stands at 5'9 and holds a record of 5 wins, 4 by knockout and 2 defeats. While Alessandra is 36 years old, stands at 5'9 1/2, her own record is 19 wins, all by knockout and 4 defeats, this is the second defence of her first run as champion.
As the fighters went face to face for photos, their eyes locked in an intense staredown as Alessandra holds the title up in her right hand. But before they head to their tables, they smile at each other to show they are not exactly enemies at the moment. Sitting down; Rebecca speaks first "I am honoured to be in this title fight, I mean I have worked hard for the past 5 years for moments like this" Smiling as she adds "I know Alessandra has earned the title with some truly amazing fights, but I have those on my record too, so I am not overawed by the magnitude of this fight, I know I can win this" Alessandra nods before replying "I agree that Rebecca won't be overawed, she has fought women like Emily Blunt and both my stablemates Michelle Ryan and Kendall Jenner, so this won't technically be a step up" She adds "but once I start smacking her with bombs, the question becomes simply can she stay standing or be added to my list of knockouts?" The girls look at each other with looks that say we'll see soon enough, before they get out their seats and head off the stage to prepare for the fight.
Fight night, Rebecca is out first with her coach and manager Nicole Ritchie, the challenger is wearing a navy blue sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, while her brunette hair is up in a ponytail. She waves to the fans; looking as excited as she ever has for a fight knowing the riches for winning are so big for her, before she steps into the ring. Rebecca jogging to her corner, smiling as she shadow boxes; getting told off Nicole "we have worked hard for this, go out and show the world who you are in this ring!" Now out comes the champion, Alessandra is wearing a feathery yellow dress as she gives the crowd a quick samba dance, before two guys tear it off to reveal she is wearing a yellow sports bra, matching shorts, shoes and gloves, while her own brunette hair is braided. Alessandra struts down the aisle with her coach Taryn Terrell holding up the title, while cutwoman Eva Carneiro walks behind her, all three smiling warmly to the fans who roar them on. Soon enough she is in the ring, bowing to each side of the ring, before jogging to her corner to go through her routine warm up. Both fighters are brought to the ring centre as the referee gets a hold of the big gold belt, showing both fighters the prize, as they look over it before almost angrily looking at each other. Asked to touch gloves; they touch them up respectively, before jogging back to their corners, ready to start 10 rounds of BBU lightweight title action.
Round 1: "Ding" out come the fighters, Rebecca looking to dance around Alessandra, out box the puncher is clearly the plan as she works behind a piston like left jab. Rebecca starting off the quicker as Alessandra is looking to take her head off early, the Brazilian is too open though, finding herself taking being jabbed too many times to the face. Realising she won't end this as fast as she hoped, Alessandra changes things up, allowing her opponent to land off the guard, stalking forwards behind it. Before Ambrosio parries a straight punch and steps in to land a left hook across the challenges face, building off it with a straight to the top of Halls head to force her to retreat. The champion staying in midrange, keeping her left banging into the gloves of Hall, before stepping in to land two hooks to the body of her felloe brunette. But she leaves herself open up top for Rebecca to land a right cross and just miss with an uppercut to open up space between the fighters. The fighters circle and trade a midrange, both score with some good hits through the others guards as the range is very similar between these two. Alessandra though feints with a jab and steps in to snap a right into the body of her challenger, keeping in close to drive Rebecca back towards the ropes. The bell rings before Alessandra can do much more, she looks content with her work, though her coach Taryn doesn't look too pleased at her fighter. While Rebecca looks cool and calm as she sits down, Nicole telling her "keep the work rate up, tire her out and the title will be yours" Round 2: Rebecca not changing much up, looking to counter as Alessandra comes on the hunt, keeping her guard tight as the champion lands her punches off the gloves and forearms of her challenger. The actress slips under a straight to dig two rights to the body of Alessandra, before getting out the way of a left cross from the model. Rebecca starting to control Alessandra with her movement making the Brazilian miss, then she keeps hitting with pinpoint like accuracy to the body. A straight knocks Alessandra's head back, as suddenly the champion is forced behind her guard, Rebecca working to crack it open as she suddenly gets aggressive. But maybe it was a trap as Alessandra comes to life, happy to stand toe to toe with Rebecca, who doesn't look too happy to be doing this. The challenger stepping back and needing to land a double jab to the face of Alessandra to create some separation. Alessandra though doesn't allow her opponent to get far, forcing Rebecca to have to trade to try to keep the champ back. The bell rings with Alessandra looking frustrated, Rebecca looking good that round and she knows it, Eva washing her face down as she sees the marks starting to form on her face. In the Lookout corner, Rebecca keeps her expression serious, she knows that it isn't going to be a walk over to get the title. Round 3: Both fighters circle each other, trading over the others guards, till Alessandra steps inside to bang away to the body of Rebecca. The champion trying to drive Rebecca to the ropes, but after snapping a straight to the face of Alessandra, the English fighter retreats into space. Going back to countering Alessandra, Rebecca looks comfortable moving around up on her toes, making herself an awkward target. Her punches soon have the nose of Ambrosio trickling blood, the champ covering up more as she continues to take shots to her body as Rebecca tries to open the guard up. Rebecca soon starts to throw uppercuts at the face of Alessandra, who leans out the way and continues to move off the backfoot. Alessandra now slips under a straight, coming back with an overhand right that pushes Hall onto her heels, with the Brazilian getting on the attack. Both fighters trading on the inside as Alessandra forces the issue, the crowd roaring the girls on as the sweat flies off the girls. Rebecca digging a straight into the bloody nose, Alessandra yelping and covering up as the beautiful Brit presses her back onto the ropes. Till the bell rings; when Rebecca jogs back to her corner, Alessandra heads to her corner with a glare on her face. Taryn yells at her fighter "come on! You are kidding me right! She isn't in your class and we both know it, so get your ass out there and pound that bytch into dust!" Rebecca hearing this, looks ready to go over and beat up Taryn, Nicole calming her down, reminding her that the title is the important thing tonight. Round 4: Again Rebecca looks to take early control of the round, targeting that nose of Alessandra to do so, the champion forced to tighten her guard up. Leading to Alessandra being forced around the ring, as Rebecca digs away at her head, hitting mostly gloves and forearms. But Alessandra awaits her chance, knocking aside a right towards her face to get inside to tear away at Rebecca, who willingly fights back in tight. Back and forth go the fighters as Rebecca may have worn down her opponent enough to win these exchanges, a shot to the nose of Alessandra looks to prove that. Alessandra covering up as Rebecca looks to take the fight to the champ, sending a flurry towards the head of Ambrosio; who is retreating quickly into space. Once Alessandra's back hits the ropes though, her Latin temper seems to explode as she comes right at Hall, leading to the two going at it in the ring centre in a slugfest. Alessandra surprises Rebecca by coming under a right hook to land an overhand right; before she stays in tight to just hammer Rebecca to the body. The challenger for the first real time this fight looks worried as she covers up, while her opponent continues to try to clobber her around her guard. Now it's Rebecca's back against the ropes, Alessandra digging her punches into the ribs of Rebecca, who fights back up top. She is able to get herself off the ropes with a hard left and right cross combo, before she comes forwards and the round ends with both girls just going for each other in the ring centre. They just about stop as the bell rings, sweat running down their faces as their eyes are locked in an angry staredown, the title is starting to make this a personal affair. Soon though the fighters head to their corners, blood continues to run down Alessandra's nose, but that isn't deterring her from wanting at Rebecca. Who is getting told off Nicole "keep to your fight, you are letting her drag you into a street fight, she is showing the world she is a dumb Hummer, while you are a Ferrari babe, move like one OK?" Round 5: Rebecca looks to take the advice of Nicole, trying to stick to her movement; wear down Alessandra as the plan said. The problem she has is Alessandra is in the mood to rip her head off, the Model is keeping in tight; forcing the fighters to trade with more venom behind their punches. Rebecca coolly lands a jab and straight to the face of Alessandra, she gets caught trying to push forwards with a right cross as Nicole looks upset in the Lookout corner. She can see that Rebecca is being dragged back into the style of fight Alessandra wants, making Hall lose sight of what she should be doing. That leads to a mistake by the challenger; who misses with a left cross as Alessandra leans out the way, before countering with a stiff straight to the left eye of Hall. Who wipes a tear away with her glove, while Alessandra goes back to ripping away at her defences, slugging her to the body before going back up top. Rebecca looks stunned by the raw aggression of Alessandra; who is showing her gumshield as she looks like a rabid wolf after eating it's prey. The Brit looks to counter like before, her punches though are wide of the target as Alessandra moves her head more, before landing again to that left eye of Rebecca once more. Soon after the barrage from Alessandra, Rebecca finds her way into a corner, Ambrosio looking to finish her now just pounds away to the body and ribs. But Rebecca manages to pull Alessandra into a clinch, with both fighters trying to shove each other around before they are broken up. The challenger getting a few punches through to the face of Alessandra, looking to score something big this round. The bell rings to end the round though, Rebecca looking over at Nicole, who wipes the sweat off her and goes to work to reduce some swelling from the left eye of her fighter. Alessandra still has that killer look in her eyes, after her early performance in the fight; she is badly after this win to keep the title and to prove she deserves recognition as a top fighter in the world. Round 6: Both fighters circle early on trading single punches, Alessandra looking to get at that reddening eye of Rebecca, while the Brit looks to get at her bloody nose. Rebecca manages to slip inside to land a right to the lips of Alessandra, driving her back a step as she snaps two more right punches into the face of the model. The champion finding herself being driven towards the ropes, needing to nudge Rebecca back with her left to get into space to reset herself. Rebecca trying to stay in close, but gets clipped across her lips with a right as Alessandra looks to get back at her challenger. The girls separate for a moment, before Rebecca again looks to score with a stiff straight, Alessandra though catches her with an uppercut that knocks her head back. The champ goes on the hunt as she lands another right and left cross to shake up Rebecca, whose being driven onto the ropes. ALESSANDRA LEANS OUT THE WAY OF A DESPERATE RIGHT, SNAPPING A JAB STRAIGHT INTO THE FACE OF REBECCA, BEFORE A RIGHT HOOK CRACKS HER ACROSS THE CHIN, DOWN THE ROPES SLIDES HALL TO HER BACK! The champ jogs to a neutral corner as the count begins 1....2....3....4.. Rebecca stirs as she tries to turn 5...6... She looks to grab the ropes 7... But she misses and just lays face down, 8...9...10... Knowing the fight is over!
Winner and still BBU lightweight champion Alessandra Ambrosio KO Round 6
After: Alessandra banging her chest with her right fist, shouting at the top of her lungs "come on!" Excited that she keeps the belt. While Rebecca needs help up from Nicole to stand up, taken over to her stool so she can be help to fully awaken from her daze. Both girls get cleaned up, with Alessandra grinning like a Cheshire cat, chatting away to her corner team as the other corner is silent. Soon they are brought to the ring centre, with Alessandra seeing her opponent looking down, quickly heading pass the referee to tell her "don't look so down darling; you gave me a hell of a lot of trouble early on" Rebecca nods but replies "I know, it wasn't enough though, if I knew what went wrong, well I'd like to think I'd be holding the belt" Which gets a smile from Alessandra, who says "you'll be a champion someday, just don't beat yourself up over tonight OK?" Making Rebecca smile, not a big one; but enough to show she is thankful over the kind words. Alessandra then gets her hand raised, Rebecca accepting the defeat graciously as she applauds the champion. Rebecca with help from her coach leaves the ring to loud applause; Nicole telling her "you did a great job in the ring, you will be back in the title hunt soon" While in the ring; Alessandra holds up the title belt, getting her name chanted from her fans, she smiles warmly to the fans and shouts "thank you!" Before she leaves the ring, title on her shoulder as the list of contenders mounts up for the Brazilian superstar, who is next up to take her on will be up for debate over the next few weeks, maybe someone will jump out the pack soon. For now Alessandra will most likely be heading to a club to celebrate tonight, celebrating the holidays with her stable before planning for next year.
