(Free Agent vs Free Agent)

Intro:
Tonight in the Manchester Arena welterweight boxing action takes center stage, Alice Goodwin and Manuela Arcuri step into the ring to do battle tonight, Alice hoping her home supporters can help her get a victory tonight.

Alice is 34 years old; she stands 5'8, holding a record of 12 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with 7 defeats.

Manuela is 42 years old; she stands 5'8 ½, holding a record of 12 wins, 11 coming by way of knockout, with 9 defeats, she is a former BBU lightweight champion.

The big news coming into this fight was Alice losing her membership as a part of the world famous Chimera stable, putting her back as one of the biggest free agents going in Britain.

Of course the media focused on that in the built up to the fight, at the official press event before the weigh in, the Stoke born model came in wearing a tight black dress and heels, Alice was asked if she knew why she had been cut from Chimera.

Taking a deep breath to keep herself calm, Alice answers "I'd be lying if I said I expected it, I felt I was doing a great job here in Britain expanding the Chimera brand beyond just America, guess they felt different though after I just failed to capture the BBU JMDD title from Kate Upton"

She is then asked how that has affected her going into this fight, Alice smiles and replies "if you think I've lost my focus on Manuela, you are damn wrong to think that, I know the Italian s*** can hit hard, though she is going to find out why I am the biggest hitter in Britain" flexing her right arm to prove her point.

Before Alice heads off for the weigh in, she tells the journalists "I have bigger fights ahead, so if anyone here wants to write me off, then go f*** yourselves" grinning as she goes.

Manuela meanwhile couldn't care about Alice's stable problems, she struts into the media room wearing a navy blue dress with black heels, she also has sunglasses on that she slips off and places one arm of the glasses in the front of her dress to hold them.

The first question is how does she feel fighting in England, Manuela tries to be diplomatic with her response "it's a payday to come here, your weather I believe can be worse but I'd have preferred to be back home kicking this bytches ass"

The Italian is then asked about her chances in this fight, Manuela laughs as she asks back "is this the journalism of the UK? I bet you have not asked Alice this question correct?"

When the journalist doesn't answer as they look to be thinking how to answer, Manuela says "I am here to take Alice down, she has claimed so many times to have improved as a fighter because she had Charlize Theron training her, all I've ever seen when looking at tape is her swinging wild punches, she has no finesse for the fight, if I were her husband I'd never want to dance with her, she'd break my toes" laughing at her own words.

Before she goes she throws one more barb at Alice and at the journalists favouring Goodwin, saying "don't forget I used to be a champion here, she is the one who chokes in big fights, I'll happily show her what a real fighter looks like"

At the weigh in with Alice in a black bikini, Manuela coming in with a navy blue bottoms and Italian flag bikini top, there was clear tension in the room before they even got on the scales.

After they had weighed in roughly the same, when they came together for the face off, words were exchanged as Alice had clearly got wind of what Manuela had said only an hour before, a shove from Alice led to a slap from Manuela.

Security had to intervene when the big busty brawlers locked up in a vicious looking tug of hair concerning the others hair, boobs bashed together as their tops threatened to slide down and expose their pride and joys.

Boos rung out as they were dragged apart, hair was disheveled as they told the big guys standing between them they had calmed down, though the threats exchanged made that seem far fetched, they did go off the small stage at separate ends with no more incidents.

Fight night; Alice comes out with a new corner crew, she waves to the crowd that looks to be full of her supporters, putting a big smile on her stunning face.

The Brit is wearing a black sports bra, black trunks with "Goodwin" in white letters on the waistband, black gloves and shoes, her hair is tied back into a fighting braid.

Climbing between the ropes into the ring, Alice yells "this is for you all! I'm going to whoop her arse!" Before settling into her corner, where she gets instructions on what to do tonight.

The spat of boos signal that Manuela is here, she is wearing a dark blue satin robe with the hood up, her brown eyes firmly locked onto the ring as she aims to probe she can keep on winning to move towards another title.

After climbing into the ring, Manuela stands at the center of the ring, where her coach helps her take off her robe, revealing she is wearing a metallic blue coloured sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, her hair is tied into a ponytail.

"Now you go to school bytch" Manuela says over to Alice, if looks could kill Manuela would be dead as she turns to head to her corner, shadow boxing to warm up for the task at hand.

The referee waves the fighters to the center of the ring, they don't look too confident that this is a good idea as they place themselves between the women, who just scowl at their opponent as the final instructions are read out.

When they are told to touch gloves, they simply shake their heads in unison, no respect on show for each other or the referee as they instead turn back to their corners, the bell is rung when they are ready, starting 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
"Ding" at the bell both women come out trading stiff jabs, not much head movement as they circle in mid range, both looking ready to throw a big hook at any moment.

It's Alice who steps forwards first with a left hook, Manuela though steps back out the way, countering with a left/right straight into the face of Alice to ward her back.

Maybe losing her management is playing on her mind as Alice isn't a precise as her coaches would like, the Italian is drilling punches into the face of Goodwin to knock her back.

Manuela dips down to fire in two hooks to the body of Alice, a right catches Manuela across the top of her head, a jab smacks into the nose of Aruci to push her backwards.

The final minute of the round sees Alice begin to put her punches together, drilling a double jab into the mouth of Manuela, then a right across her cheek to turn her head.

When Manuela is knocked near the ropes; she comes firing back, the crowd are standing to cheer as they watch the fighters go at it hard up till the bell rings to end the round.

Manuela surprises Alice by hitting her square on her boob with her right, the referee needing to nudge them apart before they go at it, warning Manuela about crossing the line.

Round 2:
Manuela is looking to rough up Alice it seems, make her temper rise as she tags the boobs of the British model, moving back out when Alice starts throwing big shots with no real accuracy.

A double jab smacks Alice on her nose, with an uppercut just about grazing her chin, Manuela is able to drive Alice to the outside of the ring, landing crisp punches to the cheeks of the younger woman.

It seems to have refocused Alice though as she deflects a straight, landing a stiff right into the nose of Manuela, followed by a left under her ribs to make the older fighter back off.

Hunting down Aruci; Alice is landing more freely now, forcing Manuela to have to fire back, both nearly clash heads as they trade nasty looking hooks, heads get turned and hair flies around.

Ducking under a left cross allows Alice to come up with an uppercut, sending Manuela onto her heels, the former champions gets her bottom lip bloodied by a right across it.

The round comes to an end soon with the referee smart to step between the fighters, stopping any afters this time as they scowl at each other, turning back to their corners with an intense look on their faces, both wanting to get their hand raised badly in this one.

Round 3:
They start off in closer this round, Manuela trying to dig deep into her box of tricks to get at Alice, using her left shoulder to bump back the Brit.

When she does though she gets bumped back, each fighter bodying up to the other as they trade rights to bodies and cheeks, eyes locked in a nasty stare with ill intentions written on their faces.

Stepping back to try to catch out Goodwin, Manuela is too slow though as she gets caught with an uppercut that sends her reeling backwards, Alice pounding her face with repeated shots to send the Italian onto the ropes.

Manuela tries to clinch up with Alice, who bats her left arm away, A RIGHT HOOK THEN CRASHES AGAINST THE CHIN OF ARUCI, SENDING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS ON HER FRONT!

The crowd stand and roar as Alice raises her fists in the air, 1...2...3... Manuela looks up with a glassy look to her eyes, 4...5...6.. Reaching for the ropes, 7...8.. She is missing though as she is too buzzed to know where it is, 9....10 ending up being counted out!

Winner Alice Goodwin KO Round 3

After:
Another signature knockout from the hard hitting Alice, though she doesn't look too pleased, maybe hoping the fight had lasted longer so she could punish Manuela more for all the stuff prefight and that punch after the bell in the first round.

The gloves come off Alice as she stomps towards her beaten opponent, who is now on all fours with her gumshield spat out, still looking a little shaky.

Reaching down Alice grabs at the back of Manuela's bra, tearing at the zip as the referee asks her to not do something that might get the live feed of the fight cut off.

Clearly she isn't listening though as the zip is down and Alice wrestles the sports bra off the chest of Manuela, who is finally fully back to reality and holding her bare breasts as she lays on the canvas to hide them, her face is beetroot red as she screams in her native tongue at Alice.

Who tosses the bra out the ring as she tells Manuela "don't hit my tits unless you want to be embarrassed by them bytch!" Placing her right boot on the backside of the beaten woman as she poses for cameras holding the underside of her own boobs still in their bra.

When Alice has had enough fun at the expense of Arcuri, she heads back to her corner to be met by a laughing corner team, all clearly enjoyed the spectacle that just took place in front of them.

Especially as they see Manuela's coach rush out with her robe and a towel, Manuela gets the robe on with her breasts looking like they are trying to escape it to freedom.

Storming out the ring with help from her coaches, Manuela looks like she wants to scream, her face is full of anger as she marches to the back, with the delightful crowd chanting "show us your tits!" To her, making her flip them the middle finger on both hands.

Inside the ring Alice is finally looking to be enjoying herself, she smiles as her coach jokes about wishing they'd gotten their phone out to film all that, Alice saying "just watch it back on the archives, she'll have the joy of people twenty years from now asking about how her tits were saggy even now"

The referee finally gets a chance to lift up Alice's right hand in victory, she is beaming as she stands tall at the center of the ring, her friends and family in the crowd all cheering for her.

Soon she leaves the ring and signs several autographs at ringside, before heading back up the ramp, hoping 2020 will finally be the year she reaches the pinnacle of this sport.
