Intro: The Docklands Stadium in Melbourne sees the return of two fighters that have had rocky starts but hope to use the other to launch their careers from this point on, Samantha Jade and Ariel Kaplan battle it out. Samantha is 30 years old, stands 5'5 and holds a record of 1 win by knockout and 2 defeats. Ariel is 23 years old, stands 5'2 and also holds a record of 1 win by knockout and 2 defeats in her career.
Both were interviewed after a training session in their gyms, Samantha looks confident as she says "so Ariel asked me to fight her, she does realise that i'm not one of her pals or someone whose simply going to roll over for her" She continues with "I especially hope her bestie Bonnie is watching closely, I want a crack at her title and beating up little Ariel should get me on the (ACB) champs mind" While Ariel looks happy just training to fight again, stating "I always train hard; but something about getting ready to fight is just so amazing, especially getting to spar with Bonnie" Talking of her opponent "Samantha is someone I've listen to, she's a good singer, in the ring though; she is going to see why I am truly the fittest flyweight in all of celebrity boxing" flexing her toned arms to prove her point.
Fight night, out comes Samantha with her coach Holly Valance, she is wearing a light blue sports bra, shorts, with matching gloves and shoes, her blonde hair is up in a ponytail. She heads down the aisle with a swagger to her step and her arms up in the air, a smile on her face as she climbs into the ring. Heading to her corner; Samantha warms up by using Holly's hands as punch pads, telling her "this bytch is mine" Now out comes Ariel with Bonnie Sveen by her side, she is wearing a black sports bra with white trim, short black trunks with a white strip up the sides and black gloves and shoes. Jogging to the ring; she looks excited to be back in action as she waves to the fans, Bonnie and her chatting about the fight on the way down. Climbing into the ring; both fighters eyes lock in a vicious stare, before Ariel begins limbering up and stretching to get ready. Soon enough the fighters are brought to the ring centre; with both fighters squaring up to each other, the referee staying close in case they start too early. Nothing happens luckily for him, even as Samantha taunts Ariel over being smaller then her, the youngster just smirks in reply; which seems to annoy Samantha. Asked to touch gloves; Samantha bangs hers on top of Ariel's before she turns to head to her corner, with Ariel nodding behind her as if to say "so that's how it's going to be" Back in their corners ready to go, the referee waves to the timekeeper to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1: Out come the fighters, Samantha looking to use her height to control the fight from the off, jabbing and fighting off the backfoot. But Ariel is showing her speed and agility to bob and weave to dodge the punches and throws punches through gaps in Samantha's defences. The older fighter seems only to be able to land glancing blows to the top of her opponent's head, Ariel smiling adds to Samantha's annoyance as she tries to catch the flighty fighter. While Ariel slips inside to land two short sharp body punches, taking a straight though as she steps out and needing to duck a left cross aimed at her head. Samantha shoves Ariel onto the back foot with another straight landing off the gloves of the South African born star, who backs up with Jade hunting her down. A missed right hook though allows Ariel on the inside, she bangs two straight punches to her abs and a left to her ribs. Samantha though fires back and the last 30 seconds of the round sees both women go toe to toe in close range, showing good power to knock each other back a step and toughness to come back. The round ends with Ariel looking the happier, even as the round was tight to call, Samantha looking frustrated she couldn't control the smaller fighter with her reach.
Round 2: Back out come the fighters with Samantha having to come out quicker to be able to get her punches to land to the top of Ariel's head. Ariel dipping down to try to dodge Samantha's punches, getting clipped across her head with straight punches as her opponent stays at a safe distance. That's till Ariel feints an attack which tightens the guard of Samantha up top, the real attack is a right to the ribs, followed by her ducking a counter right hook and coming back up with an overhand right herself. Samantha's head is turned and Ariel starts lashing punches right into her face to force her backwards, the older fighter trying to cover up as Ariel grunts with her efforts to rip apart her opponent. The taller fighter actually has to clinch up to stop the assault, with Ariel fighting to break free, needing the referee though to separate them. Now apart; Samantha is more defensive as she boxes off the backfoot, letting Ariel come to her and catching her with straight punches to the top of her head. The round soon comes to an end with Samantha looking confused how she got caught as badly, Holly telling her to keep her focus and make her punches count. While Ariel looks relaxed, just rolling her shoulders and shaking her arms to keep herself loose for the next round, Bonnie pats her back as she stands up and tells her "go get her!"
Round 3: Samantha looks more cagey with her attacks; trying to keep to the outside as Ariel hunts her down with her own guard tight, making the bigger fighter just hit her gloves. The petite fighter slips under a straight punch and bangs an uppercut to the chin of Samantha to knock her back a step and begins to beat on her with a flurry of punches smacking Jade on her face. The singer Samantha is driven into a corner, where her body is pounded by four punches, BEFORE A RIGHT UP TOP MAKES HER SINK DOWN THE TURNBUCKLES TO HER BACKSIDE! The referee begins his count 1...2...3.. 4.. With Samantha shaking her head to clear the cobwebs, 5...6...7. Before she pulls herself up using the ropes 8 with the referee allowing her to continue. Samantha covering up as Ariel comes back on the attack, drilling her punches through the mitts of her older opponent to bloody her nose and shove her back to the ropes. Clinching up with Ariel; Samantha looking worried as does her coach Holly, she wipes blood from her nose as they are broken up by the referee. With Ariel still stalking her around the ring; drilling her punches into the guard of Samantha, forcing her to retreat as seconds tick away in the round. Samantha happy when the bell rings and can head to her corner so she can get her nose seen to, Holly washing her down and working to stop the blood flowing. Ariel bouncing on her toes in her corner; ready to get back at Samantha as Bonnie sponges her down and the two talk as if this were a sparring session.
Round 4: Meeting near the ring centre, Samantha's punches are sailing over Ariel's head as she tries to get back into this fight. The youngster slipping under a right hook to bang away at the body of Samantha with three hard shots that forces the older fighter to step back. Samantha tries to catch Kaplan with a right haymaker, as she misses though ARIEL DIPS DOWN AND COMES UP WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT SNAPS SAMANTHA'S HEAD BACK AND SHE CRUMBLES TO THE CANVAS! The referee gets to his knees and checks Samantha, waving his hands as Samantha is knocked clean out!
Winner Ariel Kaplan KO Round 4
After: Ariel showing some of her potential tonight with a big performance, the last two losses for Samantha looks to have shaken her confidence and this defeat may have damaged it badly. The victor jogging to her corner and flexing her arms, smiling at the cheering fans as she loves the thrill of victory. While Holly has the smelling salts under the nose of Samantha, waking her up and checking her out to see she'll be OK. Samantha tries to push herself up, not wanting to be stuck down on the canvas; but she falls back to her backside as she is still dazed. Medics needing to come into the ring to help Samantha out so she be checked on backstage, the crowd applauding her for her effort, though she herself isn't happy with her performance tonight understandably. Back inside the ring; Bonnie lifts Ariel up and carries her around in a lap of honour for the winner, who giggles at being lifted up. Before being put down and jokingly telling Bonnie "I hope my boyfriend does more then just lift me like that tonight" getting a playful dig to her arm and laugh. Ariel soon leaving the ring with ideas on who to fight next with Bonnie suggesting names, and Ariel joking "I could knock her out" to each name, who will be next for her?
