Joe Rogan: I am joined here tonight by my friend Sugar Ray
Leonard.
Sugar Ray: Thanks Joe for having me back for this one. I have
been waiting for this match since the start of Sin City 3.
These two do not like one another and there is some history
between the two.
Joe: You are correct about that Sugar Ray. Katharine McPhee
and Gigi Hadid have fought before and there is no love lost
between the two. We also saw their sisters Adriana and Bella
fight earlier on day 1 if I am correct in my thinking. So this
one could get very rough.
Sugar Ray: From all the action I have seen here at this event.
I hope that this one lives up to what I have heard between these
two.
Joe: It should be Sugar Ray. From what I have seen between
these two. It will be an absolute brawl. I see Bruce Buffer in
the ring talking to our referee for this bout so we should have
a few minutes to talk to our opponents for this main event.
Lets welcome Gigi Hadid first.
Gigi Hadid joins Sugar Ray and Bruce at the table and sits down
graciously.
Joe: Welcome Gigi, Let me introduce my sidekick Sugar Ray
Leonard.
Gigi: Thank you Joe and it is my pleasure Mister Sugar Ray
Leonard.
Sugar Ray: Miss Hadid, I saw the bout between your sister Bella
and Adriana McPhee. I loved the intensity of that match but I
hope that we don’t see the violence that we saw in that bout.
It was pretty brutal and Bella dominated Adriana.
Gigi smiled a devious smile.
Gigi: Sure Mister Leonard. I promise not to hurt Kat.
Joe: So are you ready for this match. The last time you two
fought in a boxing ring you did not fare well.
Gigi: I have a plan for Kat. She is going down hard and I may
not quit beating her up until she cries for mercy.
Joe: Well that might be easier said than done Gigi. Kathrine
is a pretty good fighter and she will be ready for anything.
Gigi: well you can just tell her to go ahead and bring it. I'm
out.
With that Gigi moves away and prepares to enter the ring.
Joe: Well her opponent is going to be Katharine McPhee. We all
know what she can do. I see Koda Kumi approaching but no
Katharine.
Koda: Sorry about this Joe and Sugar Ray. Katharine is in
fight mode and I didn’t want her to get in any kind of skirmish
before the match.
Just then Bella approaches the table.
Bella: It’s a good thing that she isn’t coming because we have
plans for her and if her sister shows up we will take her out as
well.
Security senses a situation developing and moves in to keep
order. The group is pushed away and Security stays close at
hand.
Joe: Well I guess its fight time. Bruce take it away.
Bruce: Ladies and Gentlemen its main event time and if you are
ready, Letssss get readyyyyyy to rumbleeeeee. First off in the
red corner. From the Strikeforce stable standing 5 feet 10
inches and weighing 126 pounds here is Gigiiiii Hadidddddd.
Gigi and Bella make their way into the ring and Bella massages
Gigi’s shoulders.
Bruce: And from the Lost Wildcats stable standing 5 feet 8
inches and weighing 123 pounds. Katharineeeeee McPheeeeeeee.
Katharine is led to the ring by her sister Adriana and followed
by her stablemates. Katharine slides into the ring and Gigi
meets her standing toe to toe. The tension is incredibly thick
and before Security can enter the ring Gigi and Katharine
explode in a huge fist fight as did Adriana and Bella. Both
stables converge on the ring and a brawl ensues for several
minutes as both stables come unglued. The Awesome Aries team
joins the melee trying to help get the brawl separated while
Security is in the ring trying to gain control of the ring.
Katharine and Gigi are wailing on one another with their bared
fists and it takes a few very nasty seconds for Security to get
the four girls apart. Finally Security succeeds and gets the
girls apart and to corners. Adriana and Bella are also
separated and warned to stay put or they would be thrown from
ringside. Bruce, caught In the middle of the melee stands back
up and breathlessly announces the referee.
Bruce: Your referee in this bout is Gail Kim.
Joe: That is a good thing to have Gail Kim as referee maybe she
can keep control of this situation
Sugar Ray: The excitement has begun this is going to be so much
fun
Joe: For who. This is going to be nothing but a brawl. We can
just hope that the two stables can keep their cool long enough
for a winner to be crowned.
In the ring Gail berates both stables and warns of very stiff
penalties if the bout is not controlled. The corners quickly
put on and tighten gloves and throw cold water on their fighters
to help calm nerves but both Katharine and Gigi are ready to go
at it.
Round 1: Both girls are on their feet before the bell and Gail
warns both fighters one last time to keep it legal because she
did not want her actions to affect the fight. But this does not
affect the fighters as the bell sounds to begin the round.
Katharine and Gigi meet in the middle of the ring and
immediately begin slugging it out. Punches are flying wildly
and landing with solid impact as the fight gets under way and
both are landing good punches. This goes hard for the first two
minutes of the round but Gigi gets tagged by a left cross from
Katharine and Gigi grabs onto Katharine in a clinch to keep from
going down. Katharine works through the clinch with some good
punches to the body but with limited impact due to the clinch.
Gigi recovers quickly fighting back with her own short body
punches and Gail is watching for any illegal blows. The clinch
tightens and Gigi twists Katharine into the ropes and breaks
away from the clinch with a stiff jab as she backs away.
Katharine makes a lunge at Gigi just as the bell sounds to end
the round and Gigi retaliates with a stiff series of jabs.
Katharine is not happy and the two exchange angry punches before
Gail gets them separated. Good round for Katharine who wins the
round 10-9
Round 2: Tempers are high as the bell sounds to begin the
second round and the two come out throwing punches for the
second round. Gigi uses her longer reach to land some good jabs
while Katharine retaliates going for the body and the two fall
into the ropes where they clinch up and struggle against the
ropes. Gail lets this continue for nearly a minute before she
gets between the two and gives them both a stern warning that
this is boxing and not wrestling. When Gail lets the action
continue, Gigi throws a looping left hook catching Katharine in
the side of the head and Gigi wrestles her into the ropes.
Katharine is in trouble as Gigi hammers Katharine with a couple
of body punches and then drops Katharine with a huge uppercut
that puts Katharine on her backside. Gail pushes Gigi to a
corner and issues Katharine a standing 8 count. Gigi cannot
believe that Katharine is back on her feet and when Gail motions
for the match to continue Gigi moves in for the big finish. That
never happened as Katharine drove a hard straight jab that
stopped Gigi in her tracks. Katharine fell into Gigi and they
locked up in another clinch. Both girls worked hard in the
clinch and Gail allowed it to continue without her stepping in
but the bell sounded and Gail was in a struggle to separate the
two. Katharine suddenly turned Gigi and drove her into the
canvas where the brawl turned ugly for a few seconds. Gigi and
Katharine lost their cool and pummeled one another and Gail in
trying to get them separated wound up underneath the two. Bella
and some of her teammates leaped into the ring and were met by
Adriana and some of her teammates and for a few violent seconds
it was an all out brawl as Adriana and Bella lit into one
another and the Marano sister’s Vanessa and Laura were looking
for anyone to fight. Security rushed into the ring and it took
nearly 5 minutes to get the brutal fight broken up as Laura and
Vanessa had leaped on Bella after Bella had knocked Adriana down
and was hammering Adriana before Laura leaped on Bella’s back
while Vanessa attacked Bella from the front. Security finally
got the girls separated and under control in separate corners.
Gail is talking to the judges and the Judges give the score 9-8
in favor of Gigi and the scorecard is tied at 18 a piece.
Round 3: Gail is giving her final warning for no more antics
like the end of the previous round and threatens both stables
against any more brawling. Looking at both competitors, Gigi
has a small welt under her right eye and cheek and Katharine has
a bruised cheek. The bell sounds for the third round and the
two charge to the center of the ring trying to get in the first
punch. The two fall into the ropes going at it hard and landing
a lot of punches but neither seems to be hurting the other.
Outside the ring Bella and the Marano sisters are trading
insults and Security has moved close to make sure nothing
happens. In the ring Katharine and Gigi are going at it
throwing short jabs and trying to draw the other off balance.
Gigi hits Katharine with a short jab and follows that with a big
uppercut but Katharine saw it coming and blocks it away while
throwing a hook into Gigi’s ribs. Gigi backs away but throws a
long looping punch at Katharine but misses. Katharine follows
her in and pummels her back into the ropes where Gigi pulls
Katharine into a clinch. The two rivals work in the clinch with
short rabbit punches and Gail does not have to separate them.
Katharine is stronger than Gigi and is using her body to shield
against Gigi’s punches who is struggling to escape the ropes.
Bella is screaming for Gail to break the clinch but Gail is
watching carefully and finally has to step in when Katharine
lands a huge overhand punch to Gigi’s head nearly knocking Gigi
over the top of the ropes. Gail has to push Katharine off and
turns to the judges to deduct a point from Katharine before
giving Gigi a standing 8 count. Gail allows the bout to
continue and the two step in and trade some brutally heavy
punches just as the bell sounds to end the round. Gigi is
forcing the issue and throws a looping hook that Katharine moves
into and the two fall into the ropes not hearing the bell as
Gigi wraps her arms around Katharine’s neck as the fall into the
ropes. Gigi unloads more punches to Katharine’s body and Gail
is trying to separate the two. Bella jumps into the ring and
tries to help Gail break the two and Laura Marano is trying to
jump in to help Katharine. Luckily Security stops Laura who is
furious before she can enter the ring and Vanessa grabs her and
calms her down as Gail and Bella pull Gigi away from Katharine
who blindly throws a looping punch that hits Gail while Gigi
tries to get at Katharine. Security leaps into action and helps
get the skirmish separated and Gail has the judges deduct
another point from Katharine. Gigi wins the round 9-8 to lead
the scorecard 27-26
Round 4: Katharine is apologizing to Gail saying she did not
hear the bell while Gigi smirks and taunts Katharine. When the
bell sounds to begin the round Gail again warns both girls to
box and not brawl and the action begins with both girls settling
into jabbing at one another with stiff jabs and dancing around
lightly. Both girls know what they have to do and the two are
showing why they are two of the best boxers in the organization.
Katharine is allowing Gigi to hit her with her jabs and then
countering with body punches that are starting to hurt Gigi.
Blood is now slowly streaming from a small cut on Katharine’s
cheek and at the 4 minute mark Gigi hurls a barrage of jabs that
have Katharine staggering against the ropes. Katharine hooks a
wild left and catches Gigi in another clinch and Gigi moves in
powerfully. Gigi is doing some heavy damage now landing jabs
and hooks and breaks away from the clinch to hammer Katharine
with some hard jabs and hooks. Katharine is in trouble and
Laura and Vanessa are going berserk at ringside at Gigi’s
antics. Bella is starting to taunt the Marano sisters motioning
for them to come on and fight. Security is doing their best to
keep control and when the bell sounds to end the round, Bella
struts halfway around the ring to taunt Laura and Vanessa even
more. Inside the ring Gail struggles to separate Gigi off of
Katharine and Adriana is on the apron of the ring trying to
help. Bella sees this and charges into Katharine’s corner and
pulls Adriana off the apron. Punches fly between Bella and
Adriana wildly and Security quickly has to separate them warning
Laura and Vanessa to keep their distance. Order is restored and
Adriana is escorted from ringside with blood pouring down a
nasty cut on her cheek from the brawl with Bella. Koda Kumi
takes over for Katharine as her second and explains to Katharine
what happened. Katharine looks furious as Koda wipes blood from
Katharine’s face and tries to cool Katharine down. Katharine
wins the round 9-8 and again the scorecard is tied at 35.
Round 5: Katharine looks determined and glares at Gigi who
along with Bella taunt Katharine luring her out of her comfort
zone. The bell sounds and the two charge to the middle of the
ring and exchange a flurry of punches. Gigi lands some stiff and
powerful jabs and Katharine staggers backwards and stumbles into
the ropes and Gail is concerned enough to stop the action and
issues Katharine a standing 8 count. Katharine is not hurt and
tries to explain to Gail that she is not hurt and Gail motions
for the bout to continue. Katharine moved in much more
cautiously as she landed a couple of jabs but was met with a
couple of the same from Gigi. Outside the ring the bickering
between Bella and the Marano sisters was heating up and was
starting to distract Gail who suddenly stopped the match and
angrily ordered Laura and Vanessa to leave ringside. Laura and
Vanessa were not happy about this and tried to protest but
Daniela Hantuchova and Chloe Moretz talked them into leaving the
ringside and took their places at ringside. Gail warned
everyone to keep cool or they would be forced to leave as well
and then turned back to allow the bout to continue. All of that
had given Katharine a few extra seconds to compose herself and
Koda had told her to jab and dance away and not give Gigi a
target. Katharine did just that and this led to some great
boxing as both girls were getting in some good punches and
dancing away before their opponent could retaliate. Finally the
bell sounds and Gail gets between the two and sent them to their
corners. A good round for Katharine who wins this round 10-9
and now leads 45-44
Round 6: Bella is giving Gigi a firm talking to and when the
bell sounds for the 6[sup]th[/sup] round Gigi storms to the
center of the ring throwing wild punches. Katharine takes a
small bit of punishment and counters with some heavy body blows
that Gigi seems to absorb. There is a lot of action as the two
have settled into some really good boxing and both girls take
and give a lot of punishment to the body. Katharine is able to
back Gigi into the ropes and rocks her with a combination jab
and hook and Gigi looks hurt. Luckily because of the pace of
this bout and the action, Gigi latches onto Katharine in a
clinch and the two really struggle against the ropes as the bout
turns into a grind. The seconds tick away and Gail is watching
the action allowing the two to box out of the clinch. Finally
the bell sounds and Gail quickly separate the two before
anything can get started and sends them to their corners. Both
girls are starting to look weary. Katharine wins another round
10-9 and now leads the card, 55-53
Round 7: Kuuchan and Bella soak the two in cold water trying to
revive their fighting spirit though neither Katharine nor Gigi
need much as both are on their feet before the bell for round 7.
Both come out fired up when the bell sounds and there is more
Jab and dance action as both are trying to get the advantage.
Gigi takes a couple of jabs and falls into the ropes where she
again has to clinch with Katharine. Gail watches the action
carefully as Katharine lands a couple of questionable low
punches and stops the bout to warn Katharine to keep her punches
up. Katharine angrily protests saying that Gigi initiated a
clinch but Gail knows her stuff and motions for the bout to
continue. Gigi starts working punches to Katharine’s body and
has Kat staggering against the ropes. This time it is Katharine
doing the clinching and Gail is again watching carefully. Gigi
tries to fight through the clinch sensing that she has hurt
Katharine and the two are struggling furiously. Just as the
bell sounds to end the round, Gigi gets in a damaging punch to
Katharine’s ribs and she tumbles to her knees. Gail gets Gigi to
her corner as Katharine stumbles to her corner and Gail goes to
the Judges. The judges reveal the score for the round with Gigi
scoring the round 9-8 and the scorecard narrows 63-62 with
Katharine holding a one point advantage.
Round 8: Katharine looks to have regained some of her energy as
the bell sounds and the two close in with Gigi looking to end
the bout. Katharine counters Gigi and the two settle into more
jab and dance routine. Both girls get in some good jabs and
Gigi looks like she is loading up for a big uppercut but
Katharine is countering Gigi perfectly and this is causing Gigi
to start looking frustrated. Gigi lands a couple of short jabs
and has Katharine dancing lightly backwards into the ropes.
Katharine has to clinch again as Gigi puts the pressure on
landing a couple of damaging hooks that has Katharine in
trouble. Gigi works through the clinch landing several short
rabbit punches to Katharine’s body and Katharine pulls Gigi in
even tighter in the clinch. Gail finally has to break the two
and takes a point from Katharine for excessive clinching. Gigi
wins this round 10-8 and now has the scorecard lead 72-71
Round 9: The bell has sounded and you can tell that Katharine
and Gigi are in really good shape as they are both up at the
bell ready to continue to box and Gigi is still trash talking
Katharine trying to draw her into a brawl. Katharine is no going
to fall for it as she continues to look light on her feet and do
the jab and dance routine. Gigi counters Katharine’s jab and
dance with looping hooks to the body before Katharine can dance
away and the two are putting on an incredible boxing exhibition.
The action is not very fast but is incredibly physical as the
two still have a lot of power in their punches. Bella is yelling
at Gigi to attack and stop letting Kat dictate the action. Gigi
gets in some good jabs of her own and Katharine does a good job
of countering Gigi. The action slowly quickens just a bit as
the two exchange jabs and counters and tempers flare a bit.
Gail is watching as Gigi backs Katharine into the ropes using a
jab hook combination that hurts Katharine but Katharine from the
ropes lands some heavy punches that send Gigi tumbling to her
backside and Gail moves in to give a standing 8 count
interrupted by the bell sounding to end the exciting round.
Katharine has once again tied this match with a 10-9 score and
the scorecard reads 81 a piece leading to the final round.
Round 10: Both girls have to be exhausted but they are both on
their feet as the bell sounds and we notice that Adriana has
returned to ringside with the help of the Marano sisters.
Katharine sees this but neither Bella nor Gigi see the Marano’s
and Adriana return to cheer Kat on. Neither girl knows the
scorecard and think they are winning as they clash in the center
of the ring throwing wild punches. Both girls land some good
punches and the action rises to almost breakneck speed as their
energy is taking over exhaustion. Everyone is cheering both
girls on and the energy level rises as the boxing continues.
Then Katharine slips dodging a jab from Gigi and Gail wisely
jumps in to issue a standing 8 count, luckily Katharine is not
hurt and the action continues though a small stream of blood is
trickling down Katharine’s cheek. Gail motions for the bout to
continue and Katharine leaps at Gigi with a straight punch to
Gigi’s head that staggers Gigi and Katharine moves forward with
some lethal jabs and Gigi tumbles backwards into the ropes Gigi
is in trouble and Katharine lands a devastating left cross that
sends Gigi to her backside. Gail moves in and gives a standing
8 count and checks Gigi’s eyes. Gigi seems to be okay and when
Gail motions for the bout to continue Katharine moves in to
finish Gigi who delivers a couple of jabs while against the
ropes and Katharine staggers backwards. Katharine and Gigi lock
up in a clinch as Gigi moves forward into Katharine and the two
fall back into the ropes. Gigi pummels Katharine’s body and
Katharine has to block the blows away but has a hard time until
she throws a looping hook that catches the side of Gigi’s head
and staggers her back against the ropes. Katharine moves on in
but Gigi stops her with some jabs but then the bell sounds and
ends the bout. Gail gets the two separated and now we await the
Judges who look to be in some disagreement. After conferring
with Gail they are all satisfied. Bruce Buffer enters the ring
for the decision. Bruce looks over the decision and looks
confused and he talks with Gail and the Judges and finally turns
to make the decision.
Bruce Buffer: Well Ladies and Gentleman. After 10 very
physical rounds the Judges and our referee Gail have come to a
decision and without further ado here it is. Judge number 1
scores the fight 90-89 in favor of Katharine McPhee. Judge
number 2 scores the fight 90-89 in favor of Gigi Hadid. Judge 3
scores the fight 91-89 in favor of your split decision winner
Katharine McPheeeeeeeee.
Katharine drops to her knees totally exhausted while Gigi turns
to her team with tears streaming and falls in her sisters arms
for consolation.
Adriana leads the Lost Wildcats team into the ring as Bella
leads Gigi out of the ring. The celebration is about to begin
but Joe and Sugar Ray get Katharine’s attention for a short
interview.
Sugar Ray: Katharine that was an absolute classic of a match
from start to finish. How are you still standing.
Katharine: Its all in the conditioning. I work out with all of
my teammates and to prepare for this match I boxed all of my
teammates.
Sugar Ray: Really that must have been tough.
Katharine: No lie Mister Leonard. I even sparred with my
sister I took this fight very seriously. Gigi is nothing to
take for granted. She is as tough as they come.
Joe: Katharine that was an amazing show but it is full of
controversy. The Judges were not in agreement about that last
round. How do you feel the Judges did.
Katharine: they scored it correctly. Gigi and I fought fairly
evenly but in the end I was clearly the better fighter once
again.
Sugar Ray: I agree. I feel that you did what you had to do to
win this bout.
Joe: I agree as well but what about Gigi and the Strikeforce
team. I am sure they all thought the result should have been
for Gigi.
Katharine: I see your point Joe but the Judges had the final
say in the result and they even conferred with Gail. They saw
it in my favor and not Gigi’s
Joe: Well I see that your stablemates are ready to party and
you should go and have some good time.
Katharine: Thanks Joe we will. And you can tell Gigi that I
thought she fought hard and deserved to win. But I was just
better again tonight.
Sugar Ray: Hope to see a rematch soon Kat.
Katharine: Sure anytime she feels like she wants to try again.
I will be happy to meet her in the ring.
With that Katharine is led away by her team.
Sugar Ray: I hope to see that rematch: These two fought their
hearts out and both deserved to win.
Joe: Well Sugar Ray don’t think that will happen, they have
fought a couple of times and Katharine seems to have Gigi’s
number.
Sugar Ray: Well how about those Marano sisters, they are a
fiery pair. I don’t think this is over between the Hadids and
the Marano’s
Joe: The Marano’s are out of their league against the Hadids.
But who knows. Vanessa and Laura are a great team together if
they can keep it that way. As we sign off here who knows what
will happen next. I love the Marano sisters and I hope they can
keep it together for all concerned. The war between the
McPhee's and Hadids is not over and who knows what will happen
there. There is a lot of water under this bridge and it is slow
to drain. Join us next time and every time with the UCC.
