       Pre-Fight:
       Joe Rogan is again joined by Lost Wildcats fighter Katherine
       McNamara at ringside in what many expect to be the bout of the
       night.
       Joe: Katherine thank you again for joining us for this bout. We
       didn’t get to talk very much about the situation with Madelaine
       Petsch. You two were teammates at one time and you were fairly
       good friends. What happened that you had such a physical boxing
       match and that you suffered a tough injury.
       Katherine McNamara: We were Joe and I think we still are. I
       finally got a chance to talk to Madelaine after that bout
       between Jlo and Jen. She was sincerely sorry for what happened
       but I told her that Injuries are part of this game and it was me
       who suffered that injury. But I hold no grudge for that injury.
       I asked her what she thought of a rematch and we both agreed to
       that.
       Joe: Well that is good to hear Katherine. Will you be sticking
       around for this next match. I think that Drew is going to be the
       referee and I would love to talk some more to you.
       Katherine: Sure Joe I see Bruce Buffer enter the ring and
       already Security is surrounding the ring. This should be good.
       Bruce Buffer: Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome back to Sin City
       Slugfest 5. What you are about to witness may be the fight of
       the night as we get closer to seeing the Rookies in action. If
       everyone is ready, lets get our referee up here so we can get
       this going.
       Drew Barrymore moves into one of the neutral corners and is
       ready to put her foot down on these two girls who really have
       something to prove tonight.
       Bruce: Alright first off in the red corner, fighting out of The
       Wannabees stable standing 5 feet and 3 inches and weighing in at
       106 pounds here is Genevieve Hannelius.
       The crowd erupts in cheers for Gen as she makes her way to the
       ring followed by her stablemates Jayden Bartels and Anna
       Cathcart. The rest of her stable follows close by.
       Katherine: Looks like Gen has her whole stable behind her. I
       hope that we don’t have any trouble here for this bout.
       Bruce: And fighting out of the Awesome Aries stable standing 5
       feet 2 inches and weighing in at a sleek 112 pounds here is
       Laura Marano.
       The cheers begin again as Laura makes her way to the ring
       followed by her stablemates Lauren Donzis and Lily Collins. They
       are followed by almost half of the remainder of the stable but
       not seen in the group was Laura’s sister Vanessa. Genevieve
       glares at Laura with menacing eyes but her corner mates talk to
       her and keep her calm. Drew has motioned both girls to center
       ring and lets both know that this is a boxing match and because
       both agreed that the winner had to give up her bikini top. At
       that point Genevieve slipped from her robe to reveal a sleek
       black bikini. Laura did the same to show off her incredible body
       in a pink bikini. The two get in one another faces and exchange
       some words before Genevieve shoves Laura and nearly ignites the
       brawl but Drew steps between the two and sends them to their
       corners.
       Katherine: This could be fun to watch. I have never seen either
       of these two in a match but they are both very fiery and look
       incredible.
       Joe: Couldn't agree more. Laura looks amazing, pink is a great
       color for her.
       Katherine: But how will she look all bruised up and without a
       top. You do know that this is a winner takes the losers top bout
       right.
       Joe: Yeah I saw that but lets see how this plays out. Laura is a
       lot tougher than you think. Drew is getting our attention so its
       time to get this on.
       Round 1:
       The bell sounds and both girls come out and instead of bumping
       gloves, Genevieve shoves Laura and batters her with a series of
       hard punches. Laura staggers backwards into the ropes and is in
       instant trouble as Genevieve drives her into a corner and does
       not let her out. Genevieve takes charge landing punches at will
       and has Laura right where she wants her. Laura throws some wild
       punches to try to escape out of the corner. Laura has good
       footwork and manages to dance her way out of the corner but not
       after suffering quite a few punches from Genevieve. The two
       exchange jabs as Laura lands a few lucky punches but with little
       effect as Genevieve retaliates in kind. Tempers flare and the
       exchange of punches gets wild with both girls fighting along the
       ropes. Its been a long round as the bell sounds and Drew has to
       get between the two to break the two apart. Both girls are
       covered in small red welts from the punches thrown and a small
       bit of blood falls from both girls noses. Nonetheless Genevieve
       wins the round 10-9.
       Katherine: Great action from both girls I don’t know how they do
       it at such a high pace.
       Joe: Both look great at this point and their corners are hard at
       work keeping their tops tight and cleaned up.
       Round 2:
       The bell sounds for round 2 and both girls are on their feet
       issuing taunts. Laura charges in and batters Genevieve backwards
       into the ropes and the hard hitting battle continues. Genevieve
       catches Laura early with a left hook that slows Laura down but
       little else as Laura connects with a couple of sharp jabs. Both
       girls dance around and are on their toes and throwing some tough
       punches. Both girls get hit and have to fight their way off the
       ropes but neither is doing any serious damage and tempers
       continue to build as they punish one another with solid punches.
       Another long round with a lot of action but with little damage
       and as the bell sounds to end the round the two have to be
       physically separated. More red welts from punches being landed
       and more action from the corners to staunch bleeding and to
       tighten tops. Laura wins the round 10-9 and ties the card at 19
       each.
       Joe: Okay two rounds down and no one has gained the upper hand.
       Katherine: Yeah but this works to Genevieve’s advantage as that
       means that Laura is not taking control.
       Joe: Do you have something against Laura, because I sense a bit
       of hostility on your part.’
       Katherine: Laura is just overrated and not as good as people
       make her out to be.
       Round 3:
       Before Joe can reply, the bell sounds and the two bounce from
       their corners ready to throw more punches. Laura shows some
       incredible skill as she is able to deflect a lot of punches from
       Genevieve who tries to gain some momentum in the bout. Laura’s
       footwork is good but she doesn’t seem to be able to connect her
       punches with a lot of power. Genevieve on the other hand is
       moving well and connecting her punches with some power that has
       Laura looking dazed. The bout goes on and both girls are giving
       their all. Then with less than a minute left in the round Laura
       stumbles and nearly goes down allowing Genevieve to really go
       after Laura. Drew looks ready to step in but just as she does
       the bell sounds and she has to send Genevieve to her corner as
       Genevieve looked ready to knock Laura out. Genevieve gains
       control with a 10-8 win of the round and takes a 29-27 lead on
       the scorecard. Laura’s corner is concerned as blood from a cut
       above her left eye is streaming down the side of her face.
       Katherine: A very good round for Genevieve. She can end this one
       if she wants to.
       Joe: Maybe Laura will make another big comeback. I have seen
       this before and Laura always comes out on top.
       Katherine: I don’t think this will happen tonight. Genevieve is
       gaining confidence and is on the verge of knocking Laura out.
       
       Joe: We will see, the bell is about to sound.
       Round 4:
       The bell sounds and the two close in. Laura is guarding the left
       side of her face but Genevieve is using her jab to get inside
       Laura’s guard. Genevieve crushes Laura with an incredible left
       hook and Laura falls back into the ropes. Genevieve connects
       with another jab and a right hook and Laura goes down. Drew has
       to push Genevieve to a neutral corner giving Laura a few extra
       seconds to get herself together and get back to her feet and by
       8 Laura is back on her feet but more blood is spilling from the
       cut above her eye. Genevieve feels confident and starts taunting
       Laura with short jabs meant to infuriate Laura who sinks into
       the ropes and grabs Genevieve in a clinch. Laura works in some
       short but effective rabbit punches and Genevieve intentionally
       headbutts Laura. Drew misses seeing this as she is trying to
       separate the clinch and the Aries camp is going nuts as Drew
       gets the two separated and warns both girls about clinching and
       makes a note about a nasty bruise appearing on Laura’s forehead.
       Daniela, the Aries team leader is trying to calm her team but
       with little effect as the Wannabees fighters egg the situation
       on. The seconds tick by and the bell sounds to end the round and
       immediately Daniela is on the apron trying to get Drew’s
       attention. Still Genevieve wins the round 10-8 and has a
       commanding 39-35 lead on the card.
       Joe: That was unfortunate but I see Drew and Daniela going over
       to the Judges where they view what happened earlier. Drew does
       not look happy and is going over to Genevieve’s corner while
       Daniela goes to help revive Laura from the punishment she took.
       Katherine: I would have ended the fight right there. Those Aries
       girls are just complaining because Laura is getting beat.
       Joe: Come on Katherine, I know you saw what Genevieve did.
       Katherine: Like it or not Joe, Drew did not see it because she
       was busy trying to break a clinch. Stop complaining and fight.
       Joe: Well I hope that Laura gets her stuff together and comes
       back.
       Katherine: Don’t count on it Joe, Laura might be good but
       Genevieve is impressing me.
       Round 5:
       Laura is in a huge hole but the break between rounds might have
       helped her. The bell sounds and Laura is slow to get to her
       feet. Genevieve taunts Laura and goes for more taunting jabs,
       easily working them inside Laura’s defense. Laura dances around
       trying to avoid Genevieve but Gen lands a couple of those jabs
       and has Laura against the ropes. Gen moves in and tries to
       finish Laura off but Laura clinches Gen and the two struggle
       against the ropes. Laura tries to switch the position but Gen
       has the advantage and slams a couple of body punches into
       Laura’s midsection. Laura is struggling and drops to her knees.
       As Drew starts the count, Laura gets to her feet at 7 and looks
       ready to continue but Drew sends Laura over to her corner to
       have some blood wiped out of her face. The ring doctor takes a
       quick look at the injury which Laura had suffered from Gen’s
       headbutt a round ago and gives the okay for the bout to
       continue. With those few extra seconds to recover Laura comes
       out with renewed vigor and the two finish the round with a nasty
       flurry of wild punches. When the bell sounds, Drew has to
       separate the two but not before both girls tops nearly fall off.
       The two corners word fast and feverishly to adjust the two girls
       bikini tops and clean them up before the nest round would begin.
       Genevieve wins the round 10-8 and leads the card 49-43.
       Katherine: Well Joe, Laura showed some fire in that round but
       Gen has total control in this bout.
       Joe: You might be right Kat, but Laura is so fiery and she is
       super competitive. So don’t count her out until this is over.
       Round 6:
       With their tops freshly tightened up both girls are on their
       feet hurling taunts at one another threatening to rip off one
       each other’s tops. The bell sounds and the two come out throwing
       punches like they were fresh. Both girls bodies are covered with
       red welts from the ferocious punches throughout the bout but
       this doesn’t slow the action as both girls deal out some
       incredible punishment. Genevieve uses her quickness and backs
       Laura into the ropes where Laura fights back and throws Gen into
       the corner above where Joe and Katherine are sitting. Laura
       lands some powerful punches but Genevieve clinches up with Laura
       and the two struggle ferociously above Joe and Kat. Drew tries
       to get between the two to break the clinch but before she
       succeeds, Laura drives a tremendous rabbit punch to Gen’s
       midsection Gen is forced to sit between the ropes and Laura
       lands a punch to Gen’s chest which propels Gen through the ropes
       and nearly into Joe and Katherine's laps. Genevieve quickly
       twists around and gets furiously to her feet.
       Genevieve: Watch it Katherine or you will get some of what I am
       about to give Laura.
       Katherine just looks at Gen as Gen rolls back into the ring
       where Drew tries to stop her to issue an standing 8 count but
       Gen drives into Laura and the two go flying back into the ropes
       where the boxing match turns ugly as both girls slam punches
       into one another. Drew steps back letting the two go at it. The
       two go at it hard till the bell sounds and the wild scene
       continues as Gen has Laura trapped in a corner and is slamming
       punches into Laura who is trying to hold onto Gen in a tight
       clinch. Drew struggles to separate the two and has to rely on
       the corners to help her get the two separated and to their
       corners. Laura’s top is barely hanging on around her shoulders
       and Lauren Donzis and Lily Collins address getting her top
       tightened while Jayden Bartels and Anna Cathcart address Gen’s
       top. Gen wins the round 10-9 and still has the lead on the card
       with a 59-52 lead but after talking with the Judges both girls
       lose a point for the wild fighting after the ring and Laura
       loses an extra point for knocking Gen out of the ring leaving
       the score 58-51 after all is said and done.
       Katherine: Well that was interesting.
       Joe: Are you okay Katherine.
       Katherine: I am fine Joe. This is getting wild and I would not
       want to be Drew. Nonetheless Gen has an almost insurmountable 8
       point lead on the scorecard.
       Joe: Maybe so Kat but that fire in Laura’s face is not pretty.
       This is going to be an ugly finish.
       Round 7:
       The bell sounds and both girls are on their feet hurling taunts
       and threats at one another and as Drew motions them to continue
       the two lunge at one another and the two go at it toe to toe.
       Gen is quicker than Laura and backs Laura into the ropes where
       the two clinch and Drew lets them fight through it. Laura gets
       in some nice rabbit punches to Genevieve’s body and Genevieve
       staggers back a step allowing Drew to get in and break the
       clinch. Genevieve throws a wicked left hook catching Laura in
       the chest but with little effect as Laura slips to the side and
       nails Genevieve in the ribs dropping Gen to the mat. Genevieve
       makes it back to her feet by 7 but seems unsteady on her feet.
       Laura does not catch on thinking that Gen was baiting her and
       Laura uses her jab to back Genevieve back into the ropes where
       Genevieve clinches Laura. Genevieve hits Laura with a couple of
       body shots and then throws Laura into the ropes and nails her
       with some terrifying body punches. Laura retaliates as best she
       can and loops a left hook into another clinch. Blood and sweat
       streams down both girls faces and down their bodies and both
       girls have trouble seeing through their sweat getting into their
       eyes. Finally the bell sounds and after a few tense seconds,
       Drew gets both girls sent to their corners where one corner girl
       adjusts their tops while the other wipes down their faces
       clearing their vision. Laura gains some ground with a 9-7 win of
       the round but is still down 67-72 on the official scorecard.
       Joe: Well Kat, Laura is making a show of it. Can she do it
       Katharine: I don’t think so Joe she has to clear 5 points in
       three rounds and Gen is giving her all she can handle.
       Round 8:
       The bell sounds for the 8th round and both girls get to their
       feet ready to end this bout. Genevieve comes out with a barrage
       of punches but Laura moves easily to deflect those punches and
       retaliates with a lightning quick series of punches that put
       Genevieve into the ropes. Gen bounces off the ropes and lands a
       stiff forward punch to Laura’s chest staggering Laura who falls
       back into the ropes and throws a looping left that misses its
       mark but Laura gets that arm around the back of Gen’s neck and
       she wrestles Gen into another clinch. Both girls are starting to
       feel the effects of this battle as Laura wrestles Gen back into
       the ropes and uses her body to slow the bout down. Genevieve is
       in a bit of trouble as Laura works in some short but effective
       rabbit punches and Genevieve has to hang onto Laura to keep from
       going down. Drew is trying to get the two separated but both
       girls are hot and sweaty and hard to separate. The bell sounds
       to end the round and both teams are shouting for their fighter
       to hit their opponent. Another round for Laura who wins the
       round 10-9 but still is down on the card 77-81.
       Joe: Another good round for Laura. She shortens the gap.
       Katherine: But Laura has little energy and her punches are not
       effective.
       Round 9:
       Genevieve is on her feet and taunting Laura who is ignoring
       Genevieve while listening to Lily and Lauren. Laura is asking
       for her sister Vanessa, but Vanessa still has not shown up at
       the venue. Laura gets to her feet and motions for Genevieve to
       bring it on. The two engage and begin the round with Laura
       trying to get inside Genevieve’s jabs but Gen dances around like
       she is fresher than Laura and this causes a small problem when
       Laura steps on Gen’s left foot and then drives her into the
       ropes. Gen’s corner is crying foul and Drew stops the action to
       warn Laura about kicking and Laura is claiming that it was an
       accident. Gen charges in throwing several wild punches but Laura
       easily dances away landing some quick combination punches. Gen
       is looking irate as she misses connecting on a couple of stiff
       jabs but Gen does land a straight punch to Laura’s forehead.
       Laura staggers back a step but counters landing a quick barrage
       of combination, jabs and hooks that force Gen back into the
       ropes. Gen clinches Laura and delivers a couple of knees into
       Laura’s midsection causing Drew to step in and warn Gen about
       not using knees. Laura looks like those knees might have hurt
       her but she dances in landing another group of jabs keeping Gen
       against the ropes. Again Gen drives a couple of knees into
       Laura’s body and again Drew separates the two and this time
       turns to the Judges to take a point from Gen. When Drew motions
       for the two to continue Laura moves in landing some heavy body
       punches and the two again clinch up. Drew watches for more
       illegal knees and sees Laura land a short knee into Gen’s thigh
       and the two throw wild punches just as the bell sounds to end
       the round and Drew has to separate the two. Drew moves over to
       the Judges where a point was taken from Laura for throwing knees
       and the corners work on cleaning and tightening the two girls
       tops. Both girls are breathing heavily and covered in sweat
       streaked blood. Laura despite losing a point wins the round 9-7
       but still is behind on the scorecard. 86-88.
       Katherine: This is turning ugly. Both girls are using a lot of
       illegal kicks and knees. I don’t know what will happen next.
       Round 10:
       The bell sounds for the final round and the two come out on
       shaky legs throwing wild punches. This lasts for the first 30
       seconds before Gen goes down after Laura connects with a stiff
       hook to Gen’s head. Drew starts the count and even as Gen gets
       back to her feet at 8 she looks very shaky. Gen moves against
       the ropes to keep her upright and Laura moves in landing some
       effective body punches. Gen counters with a big time jab
       catching Laura off balance and Laura goes down but rolls to her
       knees as Drew begins the count. Both girls are gasping for air
       and their teams are trying to cheer them on and Laura catches a
       quick glimpse of her sister standing just inside the auditorium
       door. The two close in and exchange some quick punches and then
       back away. Both still have the fighting fire in their eyes as
       neither was going to quit and the two drove in with another wild
       exchange of punches that had blood and sweat flying from the
       impact. Drew kept her eye on the action for the final few
       seconds of the round as Laura was driving Gen into the ropes and
       connecting with more body punches. It's getting bad as Gen is
       not fighting back and Laura refuses to stop. Laura is landing
       body punches at will hammering lefts and right into Gen's body.
       Gen does her best to keep her feet but Laura's fists are like a
       blur and Gen is getting demolished. Laura drives one final hook
       deep into Gen's gut and she goes down for the second time in the
       round. Gen isn't going to get up and Drew waves the bout over
       with only 11 seconds left in the fight. Laura Marano wins KO due
       to a Punch to the Stomach at 2:29 of the 10th Round.
       Post Fight:
       Katherine: Wow what an ending, I had better leave now before I
       get into trouble. Maybe I will be back later. Thanks again Joe.
       Bruce Buffer: Ladies and Gentlemen I think we are all out of
       breath after that one. Drew Barrymore has stopped this fight
       after 10 incredible rounds and here is your winner Lauraaaaa
       Maranoooooo.
       By this time Vanessa is in the ring and lifts her younger sister
       high in the air in victory.
       Joe: Laura can we get a quick word. That was a brutal and
       physical fight. How are you still standing.
       Laura: My heart Joe. I refused to lose to Miss Gen. Oh, and by
       the way this belongs to me.
       With that Laura goes over to Gen and yanks yanks her bikini top
       off and waves it over her head in victory. Genevieve humiliated
       escapes into the arms of her stablemates and makes a quick exit
       out of the ring.
       Joe: I forgot about that Laura. You deserve to win Gen’s top.
       That was an absolutely incredible bout. You have really improved
       in the ring.
       Laura: I have been working on my footwork, its not perfect but I
       feel it is improving and that has helped me move in and out of
       my opponents attack.
       Joe: You can definitely tell that you have improved. So where
       does this go from here.
       Laura: Who knows Joe, I would box Genevieve again but she may
       not want to take another beating. This Wannabees team is young
       and dangerous, and they aren’t afraid to fight.
       Joe: But she really had your number for most of the fight and
       built up a 7 point lead on the cards.
       Laura: True but Genevieve has some talent but she has a bit of a
       temper and that was what cost her in our bout.
       Joe: Good information, I hope that you and Genevieve fight
       again, you two were terrific in that ring and that was one of
       the most impressive comebacks in Sin City Slugfest history. So
       let me ask this before I let you go celebrate. Katherine
       McNamara was not very kind in what she said about you. What is
       that all about.
       Laura: You know Joe I don’t really know. Our two stables have
       had some issues lately and she probably thinks that she wants a
       piece of me. So all I am going to say about that is if she wants
       a piece of me, she knows where to find me.
       Joe: If I am not mistaken you also have issues with Miranda
       Cosgrove of the Wildcats team as well as Devore Ledridge and
       possibly Skai Jackson who we will see later tonight in the
       Rookies tourney. What about those girls.
       Laura: All good opponents. They know where I am. As far as
       Miranda, we have a lot of issues and I am surprised that she has
       not tried anything yet.
       Joe: Is that what was occupying Vanessa that she was not
       ringside with you.
       Laura: Not really Joe, I asked Vanessa as well as Chloe Moretz
       to watch my back but not interfere in any way and at any time.
       Lily and Lauren did a superb job in keeping me going and both
       did their best to keep my top on. This was a brutal and hard
       bout and Genevieve could very easily have beaten me. So I am
       grateful for Lily and Lauren for helping me out.
       Joe: You seem to have issues with a lot of fighters. Do you
       think it has anything to do with you or Vanessa?
       Laura: Not at all. Vanessa and I are without a doubt the most
       popular sisters in the UCC and we have a lot of haters. While we
       never go and look for trouble, rest assured that we will never
       back down and if we are challenged we will fight to the bitter
       end.
       Joe: I heard that Dove Cameron from the Badass Barbies has been
       bad mouthing you. She is now in your division so maybe you will
       met her in the cage.
       Laura: I'm not sure what rumors she's been spreading but like
       all the other haters, Dove knows where to find me and if she is
       foolish enough to start something then I will give her a good
       old fashioned beating like she has never seen.
       Joe: You sound very confident but Dove is one of the better
       fighters in the UCC.
       Laura: Maybe she used to be but not anymore. If we meat in the
       cage I will beat her much worst that Ai Miyazato did at the last
       tournament. If she wants to  put on some gloves and fight me in
       the ring then beating she took from Francesca Capaldi will seem
       like a vacation to her.
       Joe: Well I will let you go and celebrate with your team.
       Congratulations again and best of luck in your future matches
       here in the UCC. Stay tuned ladies and Gentlemen because we have
       more action on the way. Ladies and Gentleman, your winner, Laura
       Marano!
