BEFORE:
Noone ever thought dear Nina Agdal would be the one holding onto the Unified Lightweight title straps, but there she is, striding into the arena earlier with the belt draped around that lean waistline, the Vixen hoisting it high in the air later on to greet her loyal fans.

“She’s a weak champion, and an even lesser model,” Emily says earlier on during the press conference. She’s seated at one end of the long table, doing her best to avoid the look of jealousy on her face. “Me? Jealous?” she continues with a scoff. “Why would I be jealous of her? I’ve won the Lightweight AND JMDD titles before. I have nothing else to prove tonight but show poor Agdal that I’m the superior champion.”

Nina of course not mincing her words later on by ringside, grabbing the microphone from a reporter before addressing Emily directly: “She can’t accept that she lost to Mary in March. And I just beat her last month. Circle of life, Emily: the weak get eaten, and this means I’m better than you. And I intend to prove it tonight.”

Models meet momentarily in the centre of the ring, and it’s a hard staring contest with their faces mere inches apart, lips curled in mutual scowls, as they balance their weight on light feet, in case the other model decides to do something stupid. Nina’s slightly short (by only an inch), and also just a year younger. Emily has the experience and a slightly bigger bulk, which means this fight is going to be a test of who wants to win more.

Back in their corners, Nina is wearing a silver and white bikini top wrapped around her chest, and showing plenty of underboob. She swings red gloves back and forth on either side, ready to defend her newly won title. In the other corner, Emily has opted for a jade-green bikini, which shows off her curves, together with a pair of white gloves on either hand.

Both ladies are still making rude gestures at each other when the referee signals for the bell - DING! And HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Lightweight action! This here’s for the Unified Lightweight Title!

ROUND 1:
Pent-up frustration spilling over as both girls explode from their corners, CLASHING in the middle of the ring in what’s more or less a body slam, hail of limbs and shrieks. Not a good look for the Lightweight champion indeed, whom many were wondering what kind of champion Nina Agdal would turn out to be, but it seems she hasn’t lost her ferocity and spite. Nina is just working Emily over like a drunk man riding a rodeo, and to be fair, DiDonato is doing the same, feet planted on the ground before going to work on her facial features. Ladies are separated by the referee more than once, but it’s always no use: they just keep on clinching up once the bell rings to resume. Last few seconds and Nina scores a hard CUFF off the side of Emily’s face, sending the model stumbling in a daze and clutching at her chin. Agdal growls after her with rage, almost following after if not for the bell ringing and the referee getting in between to herd them back them to corners.

ROUND 2:
Emily tries a different tact now, switching targets to Nina’s head and stunning the mouth and nose with precise flurries. Of course, all that changes when Nina scores the first hook to her face after dodging to the side and suddenly rushing in close, almost stumbling DiDonato right there and then if not for her quick rebalancing on her feet. Crowd is loving the non-stop action thus far, with neither girl seemingly interested in putting up any sort of defence and focusing purely on doing damage to the other. After that, Emily looks like she’s moving in a daze, rocking stiff left-right combos into Agdal’s arms but then getting chased backwards to avoid another sudden lunge from the champ. Agdal gets a little too cocky, however, after she lands another hook to the head, stays put for yet another one to try and route the challenge to her throne. Emily’s turn to swerve her head to avoid the hook, then blast Nina back to the chin to dazzle her. Nina gets tossed back to the drawing board, now having to face Emily’s power as the New Yorker hammers away at her toned torso to drive her back to the bell. Big turnabout for the challenger, who evens the scores!

ROUND 3:
Both girls back to brawling in tight quarters, with Emily now rocking Nina to the stomach with the odd straight hand suddenly shot inwards and under the arms. Nina groans and grimaces, but makes the challenger pay each other with a heavy swipe across her face and chest. But it’s Emily who steals the show, walking Nina back towards a corner in the second minute before hammering her head and arms about with big swings, but has to be content with sinking gloves into her body instead. Nina finally gets out of there but it’s clear she’s been rattled, breathing hard and only succeeding in sending jabs to Emily’s face for the rest of the round.

ROUND 4:
Emily ready to again roar into the thick of the action, gleefully eyeing those growing red marks all over Nina’s body she inflicted in the previous round. Here she comes and there Agdal goes, jumping to one side with those slender legs of hers, and avoiding the charging brunette. Emily slams several jabs into the guard but a follow-up hook misses by a nostril. Nina’s body was battered last round but her legs are working just fine, and the Vixen tries and avoids contact this round and another close quarters scrap. She jabs back at Emily’s face even as the challenger chases her and chases her down. She avoids another uppercut aimed for her chin before banging a hook off DiDonato’s ribs, earning a dull groan. At the bell, the champ smirks wide, blowing a kiss at Emily’s direction, which pisses her off and earns a sudden march towards her corner. But Emily gets intercepted by the referee on the way, and herded back to her own.

ROUND 5:
Nina’s still using speed and agility to outwork the challenger. First minute sees more punches landing on Emily’s face, as Nina drives her head back with another mouthful of leather. But soon after, she doesn’t see the return overhand right coming till it gets stuffed into her own lips, and Emily timed that countershot perfectly to send the champion reeling back with stars in her eyes! HERE EMILY COMES, pumping shots into Nina’s exposed torso to drive her further back, then beating down the arms with power-shots, thinking it’s NOW or never. Nina takes another belly blow FUMP to the middle, gets folded over in half and tries to clinch up with her abuser to stop the abuse. Emily fully grinning, in her element, arms enveloping Nina for a moment before shoving her off roughly. Nina has fear in her eyes as she sees that right hand already pulled back for the killing blow. It swings - AND IT MISSES, with the wiley champion slipping back out of the way and to the far end of the ring. She lives to fight another day, gentlemen, whereas Emily looks winded from all that chasing.

ROUND 6:
First minute sees both ladies catching their breaths and circling. Nina needs to do more to pull ahead in terms of points, which makes Emily more than comfortable to keep at a distance and paw at her head to deter an advance. Middle minute, however, and Emily takes a pot-shot to the stomach, which bends her over in half with a look of pain on her face. Immediately, Nina pounces, battering more fists off her flanks and into the sides of her head to try her own hand at a knockdown. Emily survives, however, by driving her shoulder into the champion’s abdomen, keeping their bodies glued together and constantly off balance. Last minute and some separation is enforced by the ref, but Nina can’t quite land anything of similar venom, and Emily gets off easy with some minor swelling to her face and body.

ROUND 7:
More fists shoved into trembling waistlines, as both girls get back into the push for the finish line. Lanky models first trade leather to pretty faces, but it’s Emily who decides to switch her targets south of the equator. She throws a left hand high to the head but already has her right hand on its way to the body. Nina lets out a cry of pain as her ribs take the brunt of her, and she wastes her guard trying to cradle it gingerly for the rest of the round. This allows Emily to take more pot-shots at her body, left jabs slapped into the stomach and then right hooks barreling in for bigger scoopings of tummy flesh, and all Agdal can do is scoot away and try to remain afloat. Emily takes quite a few stuffing shots to her lips as payback, but there’s no denying that she thinks the rest of this fight belongs to her, and her alone.

ROUND 8:
Emily attempts to bully the champion back into the ropes and go to work over her stick figure of a body. She wants to use her bigger size to dominate with power, and Agdal also looks afraid in the opening minute, head twitching at the smallest movement of DiDonato’s hands. Emily grows complacent, however, when one of her hooks connects with the side of Nina’s head. She tosses another up high, but this time, Nina casually absorbs it with a raised arm and planted feet, SLAPS her own fist right down the middle of the arms and into the base of her chin! OUCH! DiDo’s head knocked upwards, and her mouth works in a what-the-f*ck-just-happened shape of an “o” before that too is swiped across by a hard hook! Nina’s show all of a sudden, ladies and gents, as she walks Emily down and back towards the other end of the ring, going to work off her tummy with glove after glove packed into the trembling flesh, then knocking her head to the side with a follow-up blast across the chin! Emily looks to be in tatters, her back hitting the ropes and then taking yet another hook to the face, and DOWN SHE GOES, getting sent off her feet in a clean and glorious heap! BLAM! DiDonato hits the floor chin-first, and spends the first half of the referee’s count simply trying to turn over onto her back! That’s IT! The ref hits the count of 10 and Emily’s arms are spreadeagled to either side! It’s OVER!!

Official Decision: Nina Agdal defeats Emily DiDonato via KO8! Nina Agdal is STILL the Unified Lightweight Champion!

AFTER:
“What a rush!” Nina laughs, still sporting a big smile when the reporters swam her later by ring-side. “Look, there’s no bad blood between Emily and I. We’re both championship material, and I have no doubt she will hold the belt again one day. Now, Kelly and Kylie, on the other hand…” Nina says, with a slicker smile. “They tried to humiliate me when I wasn’t the champ. Now look at me, bitches.”

Emily has to be consoled in the immediate post-fight, her mascara running down her cheeks as the Fates superstarlet fails at another attempt to capture the belt. But she receives a standing ovation from the fans, who remind her not to give up the chase.

“Nina’s a different fighter compared to three years ago - I’ll give her that, at least,” Emily says to reporters later on while backstage and covered up. “Kudos to her for winning tonight, but that simply means we’re 1-and-all at this point, and this feud needs settling.”
