(Girls Friday vs The Fighting Academy)
Intro:
Behati Prinsloo with by far her biggest test so far in her career, she takes on the tough Taylor Cole here tonight on PPV.
Behati is 28 years old, stands at 5'10 1/2, holds a record of 5 wins, all by knockout and 1 defeat.
Taylor is 33 years old, stands at 5'8 1/2 and holds a record of 40 wins, 37 by knockout with 38 defeats and 1 draw, she is a former 3 time lightweight champion and a former FCBA welterweight champion.
The girls meet at the press conference, shaking hands as they nod to each other, before they take photos with their fists up for the photos, their eyes meeting with a long hard staredown.
Before the girls head to their tables, sitting down with Behati speaking first "another big test ahead for me, when I signed up to be a boxer, this is why as I did"
Adding "Taylor has championship experience, she has beaten the best and I agree when people say that she is tough" nodding as she says that.
Before finishing with "but I also came to win, Taylor will see why I have only lost to Hannah Ferguson so far" as she looks over Taylor.
Who replies "well as Behati said, I am tough and I have the experience, which is simply why I am going to be winning this fight over her"
Adding "but I won't overlook her, she's put in good performances but not good enough to beat me, so you have to pick up your game"
She gives out a warning "to the rest of the division, I am far from done! I will win titles and I will be in the Hall of Fame as I am just in my prime now" smiling as she looks over the press, even Behati gives her a small smile before both leave the stage.
Fight night, Behati is out first, she is wearing a yellow bikini top, matching trunks and shoes to go with her gloves, with blonde hair up in a ponytail.
Slowly watching down to the ring, she loses to be deep in thought, maybe realising this could be the fight that sets her in the champions eyes.
Climbing into the ring, Behati looking cool as she jogs over to Lauren Berlingeri and Eva Carneiro standing in her corner, all three smiling as they go through the tactics.
Taylor now comes out to a loud cheer, her boxing exploits have clearly travelled, though it could also be down to her being stunning as always in a ice cold blue bikini top with matching coloured trunks and gloves, her brunette hair is up in a ponytail of it's own.
After she climbs into the ring, she is met by Kelly Hu in her corner, who smiles and goes through the warm up routine with Cole.
Both girls are brought to the ring centre, an intense look crossing their faces as they go nose to nose, knowing a win here is really needed at this stage in their careers; one as she builds her career, the other to get back on the path to legendary status.
Asked to touch gloves, respectfully they do as told, as soon as they jog back to their corners, they look ready to go, something the referee agrees as he waves for 10 rounds of welterweight action to start.
Round 1:
Both fighters come out with similar stances, Taylor shows from the off that she means business, catching out Behati with her aggressiveness from the off as the younger fighter looked to assume they'd test each others defences out.
As Behati tries to jab Taylor, she misses as the smaller fighter ducks and almost springs forwards to land two cross punches across her cheeks.
Prinsloo backs up a step and tries to fire back, but she is on the back foot straight away as Taylor powers forwards with punched snapping off the lips of the blonde.
Taylor clearly wanting to make a statement tonight, forces Behati to cover up as she slams several punches off her gloves, Cole almost seeming to show her fangs as she shows her gumshield as she drives forwards.
Behati needs to shove Taylor back to create space, taking a shot to her rib as she does to force a grunt out of her lips.
But now she nows what Taylor is going to do, she starts to adapt to the situation, digging her punches to the top of her opponents head as she comes forwards.
The American though slips under a right hook to step in and land a right to the ribs and an overhand left to turn Behati's head to the side.
Behati finding herself being driven to the ropes with punches digging into her abs, forcing her to ward Taylor off with an uppercut that just misses, it allows her to move into space.
The round comes to an end with Behati starting to look better with her punches, landing them to the face of Taylor as she steps or leans back out the way of her opponent's punches and lands, then counters to score some points this round.
As the bell rings, Taylor wins the first round comfortable; though she keeps her face serious, tonight she is fully focused and she won't let Behati steal this win.
Behati taking a breath to keep calm as she heads to her corner, she knows it could have been a worse start, Lauren telling her to focus more on Taylor's movements to counter her.

Till Behati pushes Taylor back, allowing her to land a right cross to knock her opponents head to the side, now Behati powers forwards with two punches right into the face of the brunette.
Taylor dancing backwards, trying to keep out the way of the longer reach of Behati, who looks to control the action now after being on the back foot herself since the start of the fight.
As Cole tries to slip under a right, Behati just about moves back out the way, landing a left cross and a straight to the top of the head.

In the other corner, Taylor continues to look cool, Kelly telling her "you've got this, keep the pressure on her and watch her crack"
Round 3:
Both girls moving around each other, Behati landing the better punches through the others guard, Taylor though hawk eyed; looking to get in close once again.
Which she does as she parries a straight and steps in tight to land a right to the ribs, her head down as she beats away at the body.
Behati though slips an uppercut to the chin of Taylor, it hasn't much power to it, it forces the older fighter back to create some space.

The fighters trading in close range as Taylor stings Behati to the body, the younger fighter groaning as she finds herself being driven back as the round is heading to it's conclusion.
The bell rings with both girls staring hard at each other, they've shown they can both hurt the other now, with Behati's team looking happier after the opening rounds.
