       Pre-Fight:
       Neither fighter engaged in much banter on the Forum and this
       fight comes in as a low key affair. The Wannabees and the
       Awesome Aries have coexisted within the UCC with a few minor
       skirmishes but for the most part have fueled their hatred
       towards the Badass Barbies.
       Challenger Kierman Shipka is first to the ring wearing a black
       sports bra and matching boxing shorts. Her lean body shows some
       nice muscle toned and her abs are particularly tight. Hailey
       Orantia and Lily Collins walk a step behind and follow her to
       inspection then settle her into her corner.
       Anna Cathcart splits the curtains and raises her hands the poses
       for her fans. She heads down the ramp skipping and waving to
       fans and looks amazing dressed in a white crop top and a pair of
       tight fitting red boxing trunks that are cut right above the
       knee. Anna is accompanied by Jenna Ortega and Darci Lynn Farmer
       who escort her to the ring and settle her down in her corner.
       Referee Elizabeth Olsen brings the fighters to the middle of the
       cage, quickly goes over the rules then sends them back to their
       corners. She goes to the officials then slaps her hands together
       and we are off.
       Round 1:
       Both fighters are light on their feet and quick with their
       hands, Anna bounces in the pocket, snaps off a few jabs then
       retreats before Kierman can counter. Both fighters feel each
       other out and neither lands any telling shots. The grumblings
       among the fans are growing louder and Elizabeth tells them to
       fight. A few more feeler jabs and some back pedaling and the
       crowd is murmuring and growing restless.
       Again Elizabeth tells them to get it on but neither is all that
       keen on getting in range. Now the boos are raining down but they
       continue to poke the jab then back up. Anna is the first to take
       a chance but pays dearly when a right cross misses and she take
       a straight left to the nose. Kierman sides steps a right hook
       but misses with an overhand right and gets pelted in the chest.
       Now both are fighting off their back foot slipping into range
       only long enough to miss with some jabs then it's back to
       safety.
       Elizabeth Olsen has had enough and stops the fight and gives
       each fighter a stern warning. This time they step in and trade
       some shots right before the bell sounds ending the first round.
       Some sarcastic cheers are heard scattered among the boos.
       Kierman sneaks in the last few punches and steals the round by
       the slimmest of margins and leads 10-9.
       
       Round 2:
       Both come out strong and it looks like we may have a fight but
       after Kierman takes a punch to the nose and Anna gets tagged in
       the ribs neither is willing to get back at it. The boos are
       getting louder and louder as they both play patty cake with each
       other. Elizabeth is threatening to stop the fight and call it a
       draw and the two are forced to fight.
       This time Anna uses her reach and works behind the jab following
       it up with some nifty body punches. Kierman uses some slick
       footwork and moves to Anna's left then lands some stinging right
       crosses to the ribs and the side of Anna's head. Neither one
       likes getting hit all that much but both keep punching but
       always stay a step away from trouble.
       Anna throws a double jab then side steps a right hook then
       scores with a left to the chest and a stinging right cross to
       the jaw. Kierman's right knee buckles but she catches herself
       then goes on the offensive finally letting her hands go. She
       takes a clean shot to the left cheek but fights in close and
       lands some stiff shots to the ribs and belly. Anna is huffing as
       Kierman works down low then right before the bell splits her
       guard with an uppercut to the chin. The bell clangs and Anna
       stumbles to the left then right but catches herself before going
       to the mat. With the late surge, Kierman steals another round
       and leads 20-18.
       Anna is still a little unnerved as she makes it to her corner as
       Kierman gets wiped down by Lily while Hailey rubs her shoulders.
       It's clear that Kierman is the more experienced fighter tonight.
       
       Round 3:
       Anna, upset with the way the fight is playing out comes out
       strong clearly shaking off the effects of the last round. She
       uses her reach to keep Kierman off balance. Anna waves the jab
       then feints to the left and then lands an overhead right to the
       cheek. Kierman backs off using some good footwork then surprises
       Anna with a lightning quick flurry of hooks and crosses. A left
       lands on Anna's ear and another left hits her on the cheek.
       Anna pokes out the jab and steps off to the left then switches
       to a southpaw stance. Kierman misses with a left hook then eats
       a straight left to the lips. Blood starts trickling from the
       corner of her mouth and Anna follows her using jabs to back
       Kierman until she is up against the ropes. Anna steps in to the
       shorter blonde and uses her leverage to lean on Kierman. She
       works the ribs and belly then goes upstairs with a clubbing
       right to the cheek before Kierman wraps her up. A few rabbit
       punches land on the back of Anna's head before Elizabeth pulls
       them apart.
       The reset in the middle and Anna's potent lefty jab is keeping
       Kierman at bay forcing the blonde Aries to take chances. Anna
       misses with a straight right and is countered with an uppercut
       to the underside of her left boob. Anna yelps in pain and
       doesn't see a a left cross that catches her on the chin. Anna
       wobbles then eats another uppercut that jars her head back. Anna
       spins away but her left knee gives out and she tumbles to the
       mat.
       Kierman heads to a neutral corner then watches as Anna gets on
       her hands and knees and slams her gloves into the mat. She
       easily beats the count as the round ends. With her late flurry
       Kierman steals another round this time 10-8 and has build a
       solid 30-26 lead.
       Anna is beside herself knowing that has out boxed the older
       blonde only to see her hard work go for naught. She is leading
       the striking battle but badly losing the fight. She know what
       she needs to do but the older more experienced blonde is a step
       ahead.
       Round 4:
       Anna comes out strong knowing that her reach gives her an
       advantage. She works the jab high and low working on the body
       with pinpoint precision forcing Kierman to back away. Anna is
       relentless and is not giving Kierman a chance to set her feet
       before getting bullied off the spot. A punch just north of the
       trunks gets a loud moan from the Awesome Aries Featherweight
       then a punch to the belly button folds her in two forcing her to
       take a knee.
       Anna sits back hoping that Kierman will stay down but she
       straightens herself up and after rubbing her stomach and
       rotating her shoulders gets the OK from Elizabeth. Anna isn't
       wasting any time and springs towards her winded prey. She goes
       up top with a few jabs and when Kierman's guard inches up she
       goes wholesale on the body. Hooks to the ribs, crosses to the
       gut, uppercuts to the cleavage and Kierman is fading fast.
       Anna backs her into the ropes then leans in and start unloading
       powerful punches into the body. Kierman slumps forward but Anna
       places her elbow under her chin and lifts her back up. More
       punches to the abs and sides and Kierman might be done. Anna
       shoulders her back then unleashes four massive hooks to the
       lower belly each punch eliciting a loud grunt as they land in
       the identical spot. Anna is relentless as her lighting fast
       punches are landing at will. High, low, and to the side; It
       seems that Kierman is unable to stop a single punch as this is
       quickly getting out of hand. Kierman's mouth guard is hanging
       out of the corner of her mouth when she slips down in a pile of
       arms and legs.
       Anna heads to a neutral while Kierman moans in agony clutching
       her battered body. The bell rings before Kierman can get counted
       out but it's still unclear if she can make the bell for the 5th
       yet alone get to her feet.
       Hailey and Lily get Kierman on her stool and are frantically
       trying to get her ready. Daniela Hantuchová steps into the ring
       an accesses the damage and by the end of the break Kierman has
       convinced her that she is ready. With a big 10-8 round, Anna
       makes it a fight but still trails 36-38.
       
       Round 5:
       Anna is out looking to put an end to the petite blonde and bolts
       out of her corner. She throws an overhand right but Kierman
       ducks and plants a thudding left hook to the liver. Anna squeals
       out and takes a step to the right then in slow motion sinks to
       her right side as the full effects of the liver punch sets in.
       Kierman heads to a neutral corner as Anna moans on the mat
       frozen in place as the pain radiates through her body.
       Daniela claps her hands and gives a fist pump sure that Anna is
       down for the count but at 6, the young Wannabee is on a knee and
       at 8 grits her teeth and makes it to her feet. It's clear that
       Anna is still hurting but she gathers herself and raises her
       guard.
       Kierman is clearly upset feeling that she had won the fight. The
       two weary fighters reset in the middle and both are clearly
       hurting and neither is all that willing to engage as they throw
       out some feeler jabs. Kierman is the first to score with a nifty
       combo but Anna strikes back with a counter right hook. They both
       back off trying to recover but Kierman knows this is her best
       chance and barrels forward bullying the wounded brunette into
       the ropes and her comes Kierman.
       She lets her fists fly swatting Anna in the face then pumping
       hooks into her ribs. The crowd jump to their feet as Kierman,
       who was left for dead at the end of the 4th had turned the tides
       as Anna is slowly slipping down the ropes. Kierman gives it
       everything she has unloading massive hooks to the belly and ribs
       as the round draws to a close. A late hook to the liver sends
       Anna to the canvas. Elizabeth Olsen forcefully sends Kierman to
       her corner then as she heads to the judges to deduct a point all
       hell breaks loose as the Wannabee's spill into the cage.
       Jenna Ortega runs over and takes a swing at Kierman but is
       intercepted by Lily Collins and the two end up on the mat their
       hands locked in each others hair. Darci Lynn Farmer and Hailey
       Orantia square up and start wailing away as security acends into
       the ring and after a few tense moments are able to restore
       order.
       When the fighters are finaly pulled apart Jenna is sporting a
       nasty black eye while blood is pouring out of Lily's nose.
       Hailey's top is half ripped off and Darci looks like half of her
       hair has been yanked out. Anna has finally recovered and makes
       her way to her stool but her body still spasms as she still
       feels the after effects of a second liver shot. After a lengthy
       debate the round goes to Kierman 9-8 and she now leads 47-44.
       
       Round 6:
       Jenna and Lily are still having words and security is having
       trouble keeping them apart. Elizabeth brings Anna and Kierman to
       the middle of the ring and lays down the law. The next
       infraction from either side will be the last. Both fighters nod
       in agreement and after a lengthy delay they are back to boxing.
       The break has benefitted both fighters as Kierman has a hop in
       her step and Anna side in no longer numb. They circle in the
       middle and trade jabs they step back. Elizabeth isn't going to
       let them play cat and mouse and tells them to go get it. Anna
       lands a left jab then a scything hook to the ribs. She follows
       it up with a sweet one-two to the jaw but eats a hook just north
       of her liver.
       Anna backs away and now her right hand is down covering her side
       as she circles to the left. Kierman feints a left then drills
       Anna in a ear sending Anna sprawling into the corner. Kierman
       moves in but Anna ducks under an errant right and lands a
       dangerously low punch just north of the drawstrings. Kierman
       yelps out as another hook crashes into her belly then gets
       blasted back when an uppercut splits her guard and snaps her
       head back.
       Anna goes all in and the punches are coming in bunches but
       Kierman weathers the storm and makes it to the bell.  Both
       fighters stand a foot apart and stare each other down as they
       ask each other if they had enough. Elizabeth steps in and sends
       them to their corners. With a late surge, Anna takes the round
       but only by the slimmest of margings but she still trails 54-56.
       Both corners are doing their magic and this has turned from a
       melee into a decent boxing match. Both fighters are hurting but
       neither is willling to back down.
       Round 7:
       Lily and Jenna are still jawing at each other and it seems that
       they will be having a little post fight date. They are not
       letting up and Elizabeth has seen enough and both aare escorted
       out of the ring. The fight resumes and Anna looks like the
       fresher fighter and is the one dictating the fight. Kierman uses
       her jab to keep the young Wannabee at bay but Anna is willing to
       eat a few punches to get in range. Kierman is fightong off her
       back foot and this suits her well as the more experienced blonde
       uses clever counters to mark up Anna.
       Anna is looking anxious while Kierman calmly sits back and waits
       for openings which are coming with greater frequency. Anna is
       quickly slowing but refuses to back down as she keeps pushing
       forward and is finally able to pin Kierman in her own corner.
       The blonde Aries ties her up but Elizabeth is content to let
       them settle this in close and that works for Anna as she uses
       some dirty boxing. Punches to the flanks and uppercuts to the
       chin and now Kierman is on wobbly legs.
       With over a minute left Kierman is in trouble and is finally
       able to lock Anna in a tight bearhug and force a break. Hailey
       is chirping at the ref but Elizabeth ignores her and resets the
       fighters. The remaining time has Anna on the prowl forcing
       Kierman to use counters but Anna is ready this time and she uses
       some short range shots to the body and by the bell Kierman is
       gasping for air.
       With her second solid round Anna closes the gap and now trails
       by a single point 64-65.
       
       Round 8:
       Kierman stays focused but is clearly laboring but the petite
       blonde still has a lot fo fight left in her. Anna paces herself
       but is still the one pressing forward. Kierman uses her jab to
       keep Anna at a distance but the sting is gone and Anna brushes
       off a few jabs then gets in close where she uses more dirty
       boxing. Hailey is on the middle rope leaning into the ring
       pleading for a break but Elizabeth lets them settle it in close.
       With few options other than to fight in close Kierman fights
       back and lands a couple of rabbit punches to the liver and OH
       NO! Anna is hurt all over again. Kierman watches as Anna
       crumples to the canvas her eyes closed tight as her body spasms.
       Kierman backs into a corner and waits. Elizabeth is going to
       make it official and swings her arm as she make a long deliberat
       count. At 6 Anna rolls onto her side then to her hands and
       knees. Kierman can be heard muttering “Stay Down” but at 9 Anna
       is on her feet but her legs may not be back. Elizabeth doesn't
       want to be the one deciding this back and forth fight and
       motions Kierman out of the corner.
       With 30 seconds left Anna is on life support but the stubborn
       brunette refuses to give in and makes it to the bell. In an epic
       back and forth fight Kierman takes the round 10-8 and with only
       2 rounds left has an insurmountable 75-72 lead.
       The ring Doctor takes a trip to the Wannabee corner concerned
       with Anna's health but after a thourough check she is allowed to
       continue.
       Round 9:
       Many experts felt that this might be a throw away match seeing
       that both are making their boxing debuts but all of the doubters
       have been proven wrong as this fight has taken many turns and so
       far is the hightlight of Sin Cuty Slugfest V. Both blonde and
       brunette have taken some major damage and both have endured the
       pain and are still standing ready for another round. The bell
       clangs and the two touch gloves then go right at it.
       Kierman knocks Anna back with a stout hook to the chin but Anna
       shrugs off the blow and presses forward. A violent exchange sees
       Kierman land a clouting cross to the temple but Anna lands a her
       own cross to the cheek. They step back, shake off the blows then
       are right back at it. Kierman misses with a wild overhand right
       and ducks a right cross. They lean into each other both taking a
       restbit but Kierman makes the most of it and her target is that
       oh so sore liver. Anna just manages to bring her elbow down and
       this time survives some clubbing left hooks.
       They circle mid ring and Kierman is poking that jab in Anna's
       face and now some swelling is forming under both of her eyes and
       blood is dripping out of the corner of her motuh. She takes a
       left square in the nose but manages to get inside and now Anna
       lets her hands go. Kierman's toned abs are now taking a pasting
       as Anna's gloves as making loud smacks as the leather comes in
       contact with Kierman's sweat soaked belly. By the bell Kierman
       is gasping for air as she places a hand on the top rope to keep
       herself from taking a trip to the mat. Hailey rushes in and
       almost has to carry Kierman to her corner. It's a big round for
       Anna and she takes it 10-9 but still trails 81-83 and now it's
       anyone's fight.
       Anna is drenched in sweat as her corner feverishly fans her with
       a towel. Darci Lyyn lets her know that she either needs a KO or
       she needs a shut out. Anna just nods. In the Aries corner it's a
       lot more grim. Kierman looks like she has had enough and
       Danielle is there to make that decision for her. The crowd
       senses that Kierman isn't going to make the bell and starts a
       Kierman chant that quickly reverbrated throughout the ballroom.
       Inspired by her fans, Kierman takes in some deep breaths and
       gets to her feet and the crowd go beserk. Anna nods her head in
       approval and the two touch gloves for one final time.
       
       Round 10:
       Kierman is on shaky legs but shows her toughness and steps in
       the pocket and Here We Go! Both give each other a nod then start
       rifleing off punches. Kierman snaps Anna's head back with an
       uppercut but leaves her body wide open to a crushing hook to the
       navel. They continue trading wide open shots and it's amazing
       that they are still on their feet. They take a step back the on
       que start all over again only this time Anna is landing the
       better shots and Kierman is coming up short.
       Anna is now focusd solely on Kierman's bright red belly and is
       landing heavy leather almost at will. It's only a matter of time
       as Kierman is getting blown apart and is hunched forward with
       her elbows tucked into her gut. There are some wide open shot to
       the head available but it seems Anna wants to fininsh this
       downstairs and despite not firing back, Elizabeth lets the
       beatdown continue until Kierman takes one too many punches to
       the flanks and collapses at Anna's feet. There will be no
       getting up this time as only a feeble moan escapes Kiermans
       parted lips. Elizabeth waves off the fight.
       Anna Cathcart wins by KO due to body punches at 1:50 seconds of
       the 10th round.
       Anna raises her hands then the effects of 10 rounds sink in and
       she falls to her knees then rolls on her side next to Kierman.
       The medics rush in and tend to both fighters and in a few
       minutes they have both of them sitting up. Kierman reaches out
       and dabs Anna on the back congratulating her for what will
       likely be the fight of the night. Anna reciprocate the gesture
       as they both get to their feet. The two share a friendly but
       gentle hug then head in opposite directions.
       
       Post Fight:
       Joe Rogan climbs into the ring and interrupts Anna's
       celebration.
       Joe: Anna, that was one of the most amazing fights I think I
       have ever seen! How in the hell did you manage to keep going?
       Anna: I really don't know. All I can tell you is once you get
       into a fight like this you simply can;t give up. Hell, Kierman
       is one tough cookie and neither of us was willing to quit.
       Joe: The fight started out slow and the crowd was really letting
       you two have it. Does it motivate you to try harder when the
       crowd turns on you?
       Anna: You really don't hear the crowd when your in the ring. You
       focus on your opponent and most of the times you you don't
       notice them. Of course until there is a knockdown.
       Joe: Kierman took the early rounds by waiting for her moments
       then basically stealing the first 3 rounds in the closing
       moments. What did your corner tell you after suffering those
       setbacks?
       Anna: They really didn't need to say much. Full credit to
       Kierman. She really outsmarted me and stole the first 3 rounds
       and I knew that it couldn't keep going like that or I would lose
       the fight. I was out boxing her, beating her to the punch but
       she knew what to do and when to do it and if that kept going I
       was going to lose for sure.
       Joe: She did play her cards right and waited until the final
       moments to strike. What did you do differently in the 4th?
       Anna: I think you saw it. I knew I was down especially after she
       dropped me in the 3rd. It was now or never and I just went at
       her and let my hands go.
       Joe: Kierman targeted your liver and made you take 3 trips to
       the canvas. How badly were you hurt?
       Anna: Have you ever taken a shot to the liver? I never had and
       OMG! Does it **** hurt. You feel it then in a couple of seconds
       your side goes numb and you can't even stand. Luckily I was able
       to beat the count.
       Joe: The second liver shot almost started a brawl. Do you feel
       that maybe you caught a break with the extended break?
       Anna: It's only fair, right. The bell sounds and I let up then
       the next thing I know I get hammered. It makes it so much worse
       when you're not ready.
       Joe: OK, so what kind of training do you do to keep up that
       torrid pace for 10 rounds>
       Anna: That's just typical Wannabee training. We knew that Sin
       City requires us to wear 8 oz. Hayabusa Gloves so Jayden had us
       training with 10's and 12's. By the time the fight started it
       felt like I was fighting without gloves.
       Joe: Now you targeted her stomach and repeatedly went
       downstairs. Was that the plan from the start?
       Anna: We knew she was fast and would be hard to hit so they
       wanted me to get  in close, work over her body and slow her
       down. Unfortunately she is tough as nails and it took 10 rounds
       before I could put her down for the count. I don't know but I
       must have landed 1000 body shots.
       Joe: CompuBox had it at 237 body punches landed. WOW! How in the
       hell was Kierman able to take that many punches?
       Anna: I know, right. I kept hoping she would go down and stay
       dwon but full credit to Kierman.
       Joe: When did you know you finaly broke her?
       Anna: I knew when I hit her in the stomach that it caught her
       off guard. I heard the air escape and she really let out this
       low gurgling moan. It was kind of like when you see a knife go
       though a tire. The air hisses out and you know in a minute it
       will be flat.
       Joe: Interesting analogy.
       Anna: You can just tell when you hurt someone and when that
       happens you have to go all out and try and put them away. It
       might be your only chance and if there is one thing Jayden
       taught me is when you have your opponent down, never ever let
       her up. Show no mercy.  That's the Wannabee way.
       Joe: You went to the body and didn't seem too concerned with
       hitting her up top. Why did you pass those up shot to the head?
       Anna: I felt I had her in trouble and when she bent over I could
       tell she was on her way out and if I could string another punch
       or two she would be heading to the mat. When she went down it
       was a huge relief.
       Joe: Before we go, Jenna Ortega and Lily Collins had a scuffle
       and it look like there is s ome unsettled business.
       Anna: Jenna was only defending me and when they went at it Lily
       poked her in the eye.
       Joe: That was on hell of a comeback. Ladies and Gentlemen, your
       winner, Anna Cathcart!
