(Girls Friday Vs Vixens)

(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)

Intro:
We kick off the stable war between the Girls Friday and Vixen stables here with their two young guns clashing. Dafne Keen and Nell Tiger Free both are the future for their stables, a win here could set the tone for their rivalry for over the next decade. They are here in Dubai to clash on the beach in their best bikinis.

Before the clash both women used social media to exchange barbs. Nell posted "I don't care the hype around Dafne Keen. She is stepping onto a beach where I thrive while... When do you see her ever in a bikini? Dafne are you afraid of the sun or just me?"

Dafne normally doesn't say too much, she did reply "Nell why don't you shut up and save your tiny brain for trying to work out how to beat me. I have never needed to wear a bikini to make my career, I made mine being a top notch actress and you are what exactly in acting? Your a joke."

That certainly didn't go down well. Nell fired back "pea brain? Of how original! You have always been a fake, you are a fake between those ropes. I will beat you down and prove you are nothing but a no talent fighter destined to be the next Maisie Williams, discarded by your stable and nobody wanting to sign you up." Maisie getting side swiped. She will be supporting Dafne in this situation even with her history with the Girls Friday stable not being great.

Fighting time! We are on Jumeirah Beach for the event. There are metal fences around for a select crowd to watch from ringside, a VIP area that is split between fans/friends for either stable. While the ring posts are dug into the beach itself.

Dafne comes out first onto the beach wearing a black bikini with black gloves, her hair tied into a ponytail. She has coach Ming-Na Wen to her right. They have a quick chat before Dafne steps through the ropes, toes gripping the sand as she gets used to the beach.

Nell comes out now wearing a light blue bikini with white trim, white gloves and her hair tied into a ponytail too. Nell has Corey Saucier working her corner. Nell looking confident as she climbs through the ropes, blowing kisses out to the fans before staring hard at her foe.

The referee waves both women to the center of the ring. Both women lock eyes as the tension is clear to see. They do touch gloves when prompted but it's more a quick swipe then a real show of respect. They are both ready and the bell rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
Out they come to a loud cheer from the supporters. Both drilling in straight punches but it is Nell starting off the faster. Nell using that height and reach to stab her punches downwards at her smaller foe. Dafne is showing her grit to take punches at times to slam her own into the torso of her fellow Brit.

A jab/straight combo knocks back the head of Keen and forces her to the perimeter of the ring. Dafne needing to move around on her toes moving her upper body to dodge. Problem for Dafne is she can't get too many punches off as Nell is keeping her at range.

With under thirty seconds to go; Dafne dips under a jab to land in two hooks to the body of her opponent. Maybe Nell got lax their as Dafne furiously punches away till she is pushed back by the taller woman. They exchange a quick flurry between them just before the bell dings. Both sit on their stool but as you can guess, Nell is the one with a grin as Dafne looks annoyed she couldn't get around Nell's reach.

Round 2:
Back out they come with Dafne taking her coaches advice to crouch to stab in punches, along with moving more side to side to create new angles to strike from. Nell lands several good solid punches, she also finds air at times as Dafne shows her training on the sand has worked for her footwork.

An overhand left catches Tiger Free out as it twists her head after landing on her jaw. Dafne gets back to the torso of her rival as she steps inside her reach. Nell grits her mouthpiece not to let Dafne her foe know those punches are stinging at the bare minimum. Pushing off Dafne to create space as she jabs back into her face.

Around the ring they go with Dafne being like a terrier. She gets clipped with a left cross and a straight late in the round, allowing Nell to create some space to work in. Nell having a sigh of relief as the bell rings, giving her a moment to relax after that intense round for her.

Round 3:
It is becoming a bit tense between them as both let their hands go more. Dafne gets inside at times to work the body, making Nell's body have a slight pink hue where it has been hit. She nudges back Dafne before whacking her with a left/right cross to her cheeks.

Doubling up her jab to keep Dafne at range. Nell showing her own footwork as she refocuses. The Vixen herding Dafne around the ring. Till she misses with a straight and takes one there her chin to knock back the head of Nell. Both women staring behind their gloves with a hint of fury in their eyes.

Late in the round; Nell nudges back Dafne, landing a left cross to the cheek of the Girls Friday fighter. Dafne getting pinned back against the ropes. Nell swinging in short hooks as Dafne covers up tight till the bell rings. Both sit on their stools with Bell looking relaxed as Dafne kicks up some sand.

Round 4:
Dafne coming out the blocks quicker; crouching to strike with two punches at a time around the stomach of her opponent. Nell giving her a nudge back but gets caught with an uppercut to knock back her head. Dafne pressing back Nell onto the ropes. Banging in several punches around the cheeks of her opponent till she gets grabbed onto.

They are split apart with both fighters staring hard. They resume with Nell landing a firm straight into the forehead of Dafne. Bringing the heat back at Keen. Who finds herself being pressed around near the ropes. Nell just misses with a jab as Dafne dips under it and comes over the top with an overhand right to push back Nell.

Both exchange around the middle of the ring. Dafne staying in mid range so Nell's reach isn't as advantageous. At the bell they both have marks on their faces. Getting wiped down of sweat as their coaches give them advice.

Round 5:
Exchanging around the center of the ring. Nell looks frustrated by the relentlessness of her opponent. That's till she lands a left cross on the cheek to twist the head of Dafne. Driving the younger woman onto the ropes. Dafne covering up till she can get a good clinch on Nell. The referee needing to break them up as Nell presses Dafne back against the ropes to pressure her.

On the break; they resume with Dafne landing a crisp left cross on the cheek of Nell. She soon follows with an uppercut to knock back the Vixen to her heels. With Nell finding herself being driven into a neutral corner. Dafne swinging in hooks till she gets held onto.

Getting back to the action as they exchange. Both wanting to grab the round for themselves, ending up clinched again. They try to trip each other as tempers flare up. They are pushed apart just before the round ends. Walking back to their stools, both looking annoyed by their opponent as they are certainly pushing each others limits.

Round 6:
Walking out their corners with their gloves raised. Sweat drips off their brows as they start off with a quick flurry. A left cross lands around the brow of Dafne to make her groan as sweat flies off her brow. Nell stabbing more punched through the mitts of the younger girl to push her backwards.

Dafne tries to swing back at Nell with not much success. A straight pushed her to the ropes. A LEFT HOOK ON THE EAR MAKES DAFNE DROP DOWN ONTO HER LEFT KNEE!

Nell marches to the neutral corner, raising her right glove in the air as she takes in the cheers of her supporters. 1....2....3... Dafne shakes her head to clear the fog in it. 4....5....6... She grabs the middle rope next to her. 7....8... Pushing up to her feet. Dafne nods to the referee that she is ok. Raising her fists to prove that point.

They resume as the referee tells them to fight on. Nell looking to end things as Dafne has to duck and dodge. Nell lands a few cuffing shots, getting hit back around her belly button in reply. The round soon ends with Nell tapping her gloves together looking keen to get started again. Dafne meanwhile looks to the heavens. Getting a pep talk and advice on what she can do to turn this around.

Round 7:
Nell comes out looking to pressure her opponent early on. Dafne giving up ground as she moves around the perimeter. Both landing straight blows into faces. Changing things up, Dafne feints with a jab before ducking down to land a harpoon like right into the stomach of Nell to make her gasp as she bends over.

Banging in more body shots; Dafne certainly looks to have finally broken down the torso of Nell, who swings back but is caught with an uppercut onto her chin. Nell finding herself driven back into her own corner. A STRAIGHT LANDING INTO THE LIVER AREA OF NELL TO MAKE HER GO DOWN TO HER KNEES!

Dafne bangs her gloves together as she heads to the neutral corner she is pointed to. 1....2....3... Nell rubbing her stomach as her cheeks are red. 4....5....6.... Nell tries to push up to her feet. 7....8... But she is in too much pain and goes back to her knees with a whine. 9....10 it's over! Nell is counted out!

Winner Dafne Keen KO Round 7

After:
A cracking bout to start the stable war off with maybe the first chapter of a new rivalry. Dafne looks relieved as she heads back to her corner. Ming-Na slaps her on the back as she tells her "that's how to lead off a stable war. You were brilliant." Dafne smiling with a nod to her coach.

Nell on the other hand needs helped up onto her stool. Nell looks to the sand as an ice pack is placed onto her body. She looks a little humiliated that she lost this contest. Fighting back tears as Corey tries to console her by rubbing her back with their right hand. Telling her how unlucky she was to come out the losing side of this competitive bout, especially after the knockdown she scored in the sixth round.

Both women give each other hard glances in between them being cleaned up. Nell soon enough has had enough as she asks to leave the ring. Corey nods before he helps her out through the ropes. It'll be interesting to see how the other Vixens receive her when she returns back to their changing room.

While Dafne goes to the middle of the ring. Getting her right arm raised in victory to make this result official for all to see. Dafne waves to the fans around the ring. Her supporters cheering her as those of the Vixens boo her. Ming-Na raises her right arm as she tells the crowd "you are looking at the future" making Dafne blush a little.

They head out the ring together. Walking to their changing room as Dafne continues to improve with each fight. Showing that she can overcome a height disadvantage against such a tough opponent. Which will come in handle to know for her if she gets the clash with Millie Bobby Brown that is brewing.

While on the stable war front the Girls Friday crew couldn't have asked for a better start. Of course the Vixens will be watching this plotting their path to victory, carving their way through the remaining fights will be on their minds now.

Girls Friday 1-0 Vixens
