BEFORE:
This was a fight promised early in November last year, but somehow, it got pushed back and pushed back till now. Hannah Ferguson granting Jennifer Lawrence a title shot is one hell of a make-up proposal, however, as the two blondes face off during the early press conference with plenty of laughs and good-hearted jabs.

Lawrence in particular entering the press hall with her usual bumbling, innocent persona, pausing at the table before asking her press team if she’s supposed to sit at that spot, or somewhere else, drawing laughter from the room when it’s pointed out that her name has already been emblazoned clearly at the head of the table.

Sheepishly, she sits down, before clapping along with the rest of the room when the champion, Hannah Ferguson, makes her entrance. The sight of her opponent giving her the time of the day, let alone actively applauding her appearance, brings a smile to Ferguson’s face as well, and the two ladies share an awkward embrace before settling down at the table proper.

“Is it my turn to speak? Shouldn’t she go first?” Jennifer says, looking genuinely confused after the fight officials gesture to her to begin her opening remarks. “Oh, okay. Do you guys have any questions or am I just supposed to wing it?”

A helpful reporter aids the discussion by shouting out from the back of the room: “What do you think of Hannah?!”

“Oh, she’s lovely. Just lovely,” Lawrence blushes as she says. “Met her backstage and we shared a joint. I think I apologised to her in advance for having to punch her in the face later. Not sure what the other girls have against Hannah, but she’s just so sweet. She can rip your head off, but she’ll be nice about it.”

Hannah can’t control her laughter at the end of the table, a wide smile on her face as she responds with similar praise:

“I can’t believe it took us this long to get this fight organised. Honestly, Lawrence sounds like a cool gal you just want to hang out with on a Friday night. I know things will be different when we’re at opposite ends of the ropes, but there’s no hard feelings tonight, win or lose. We’re gonna give it our best and I mean this from the bottom of my heart: may the better woman win.”

Lawrence has of course hit some speed bumps along her career, more renowned for her on-screen talents than her in-ring prowess. But don’t let her sweet innocence fool you - the Hollywood actress has KO’ed girls like Kroes and Decker in recent memory, and might prove to be a real challenge for the Welterweight champion tonight. Hannah, on the other hand, pushes through her second title reign amidst a field of seasoned challengers to her throne. If she wins tonight, she’ll find no shortage of competitors like Tailor, Decker and yes, Big Bad Red herself.

For now, both women share another heartfelt handshake when they meet on stage for the mandatory showdown, loose hands and smiling lips abound before turning to face the reporters in their skivvies. Hours later, we’re back in the arena and it’s time for the Welterweight showdown of the evening!

Jennifer climbs into the ring on one side, smiling wide as her fans chant her name in the background. She’s wearing a two-piece swimsuit that’s lined with silver and golden streaks on white, strapping on red gloves for this contest. Her short crop of blonde hair is tied neatly into a battle bun. In the other corner, Hannah is staying loose on her feet, waving black gloves high in the air as the announcer calls her name. The Vixen is wearing a neon-yellow sports bra and white boxing trunks.

Referee gets the nod from both corners, and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Welterweight action! This here’s for the Unified Welterweight Title!

ROUND 1:
As we predicted, cordial blondes get to brawling from the very start of the bell, all those cat-calls and kind words thrown out the window as Lawrence springs into action first, her arms up and over her face before making a lunge straight for Hannah’s head in an effort to stun her. Ferguson, however, also anticipated such a showdown, is fully prepared to meet her aggression with her own, and the two Welterheavyweights toss and turn each other for a good minute in the center of the ring, bashing a hook into the other’s guard before a return swing is absorbed with an equally loud shout and sound of leather hitting flesh. Hannah’s actually facing some early trouble when she experiences Lawrence’s power first-hand, the Chimera starlet using her bigger bulk to wind a right arm back before torquing it straight across the champion’s arms, which sends her reeling momentarily. Hannah not to be outdone, quickly recuperating her balance before taking a swing of her own at Jennifer’s forehead, the overhand right streaking inwards and making Lawrence stumble awkwardly to the side. Rest of the round goes on at this level of intensity, and at the bell, it feels as though these two have already fought ten rounds. But they’re still getting started! Both blondes think they’ve won this round, holding their heads up high and returning to their corners with a raised arm. The night’s definitely still young, folks!

ROUND 2:
There we go! After taking a round to feel each other out, it’s Hannah who chooses to stay back, allowing Jennifer to try and rush her down this time instead. Lawrence is still brimming with adrenaline and leftover energy, moving fast and letting her fists fly as hard as she continuously pounds away on the champion’s arms. But Ferguson establishes distance at the end of the first minute, paying Jenn back with a grazing shot across her face, then another straight hand catching her clean on the chin on the inward rush. Lawrence forgets that she’s three inches shorter than her counterpart, and is having more difficulty rushing in to punish the Vixen. She manages to score somewhat on the champion’s torso, each hook feeling like a wrecking ball as Hannah lurches backwards with multiple grunts. But at the end of the round, it’s still Ferguson who takes it wide.

ROUND 3:
Lawrence learns quickly from her mistakes, and soon begins to mirror Ferguson’s movements, with the two blondes circling and taking pot-shots at each other from a distance. Lawrence may have a reach disadvantage but she’s making up for it with plenty of power and purpose, rocking the champ to the middle of her arms with a ringin’ cross-hand, then another, trying to shove Hannah into the ropes and then pin her in place for more punishment. Hannah’s too fresh though, and alert, keeps moving backwards just in case in order to not get herself trapped in a corner. But it’s also clear that she’s having trouble dealing with the challenger’s power as another lunging hand prods her to the tummy. Rest of the round and Ferguson’s answer is even more space between them, controlling Lawrence with backpedalling jab combos that see some success: Lawrence wincing and grunting as she takes a final streak across the cheek to end the third round. So far, it’s unclear which girl is taking the lead, though Lawrence is making a strong push towards the golden straps!

ROUND 4:
Hannah stays cool and composed, unfazed by the challenger’s sudden rushes and lunges at her head. Jennifer is surely getting a little more desperate as she tries to wade in unexpectedly - she wants to brawl with the champ and exert her strength, and it shows. No nonsense from Hannah, who instead picks and chooses her shots as she plants another cross into the nose and then rocks Lawrence’s head to the side with a well-placed hook. And Lawrence looks dazed! She’s shaking her head, stumbling to one side, wondering where the hell she is! Her arms are wavering over her chest as Hannah POUNCES on her wounded status, snapping another one-two combo straight into her nose before blasting her off to the side with a textbook right hook! THAT’S IT!! JENNIFER GOES DOWN!! Big girl simply LOST her balance and crumpled, looking dazed as she tried to prop herself up by her arms! Could this be an early victory for the champ?!?

Hannah looks satisfied that she could be, raising an arm into the air before strutting back to her corner with a big grin on her face. She leaves Lawrence to do what she must: slowly push herself back onto her knees, the Chimera starlet breathing hard and fast as she recovers to her feet by the count of 7. Lawrence resets her fighting stance with her back to the ropes, nodding to the referee that she intends to continue, and it’s good news for the fans, who’ve paid to see more than four rounds of championship fighting action!

ROUND 5:
And here comes Hannah, hoping to mop up! The champ is skirting inwards at lightning speed, suddenly kicking her pace up a gear as she smells blood in the water! Jennifer however has locked her arms over her head and is moving like her life depends on it, especially after that nasty scare in the previous round! Hannah hammers her to the guard with shot after shot, squaring those shoulders and trying to break the door down, repeatedly shoving Lawrence down the ropes with heavy hooks and crunching straights to the middle, but Lawrence is made of sterner stuff, refuses to relinquish control of her faculties even as her body takes a pounding. Hannah doesn’t realise she too is tiring herself out with this relentless assault, and it’s only after the second minute of the chasing, when she takes a crunching return cross to the face does she realise she’s lost the narrative. Lawrence has weathered the assault and is returning hands with a vengeance, shocking Hannah across her face with a late hook to end the round only slightly in the champion’s favour. Like we said before: this fight might still be wide open, with Jennifer seeing a spark of resurgence!

ROUND 6:
Hannah is still not giving up her offensive, which might definitely be a problem! The champ explodes out of her corner at the sound of the bell, resuming the attack with a left-right combo that catches Lawrence on the tummy. But Jennifer’s been expecting the aggression, taking the first few shots to her arms before BLASTING a rising hook clean into Hannah’s chin! OUCH!! The half-uppercut, half hook lands hard, rocking Hannah’s hair and head to the side in a shower of spit and curse words! Hannah goes flying into the ropes, having taken the knockout blow clean to her chin! AND HERE COMES LAWRENCE instead, the big Hollywood actress wading in and BLASTING hands, returning hammer-blows to the side of Hannah’s head, trying to force her down as well, and succumb to her power! Ferguson is wilting on the ropes, doing her best to protect her head and face, but taking a chopping uppercut to the belly, which folds her over, before a hook to the ear proves TOO MUCH!! THE CHAMP GETS SENT DOWN TO HER KNEES, panting hard! It’s a return KNOCKDOWN from Jennifer Lawrence! This might be it instead!

Lawrence breaks into a smile herself, her face relaxed and arms suddenly hung loose as she stumbles back to her corner, appreciative of the brief respite. Meanwhile, Ferguson is slowly crawling back to her knees, using the ropes nearby to haul her weathered body up one foot at a time. Before long, both blondes are back and standing at opposite corners of the ring, and the referee waves for the rest of this fight to continue. Quite a scare there for Hannah Ferguson, who beat the count by 8 but still has to push herself forth another four rounds.

ROUND 7:
Another mad round as both blondes try to take the lead, heaving deep breaths before launching themselves forward when they meet in the center of the ring. Lawrence is surely made of championship material, not giving an inch or losing an ounce of strength after her spectacular knockdown in the previous round. She slams a left hand into Hannah’s guard to begin but then crunches a right hook low into the tummy, under her arms. Hannah’s ready and in the mood for brawling as well, returns fire with a hefty shot across the brow, which throws Lawrence into a brief daze. Then, the champ heads south of the border to wail upon her thick blonde body, shoving her fists into Jennifer’s sides and chests, which draws further grunts from the actress. Neither girl really surges ahead this round, though it’s clear both have that same goal. After the mutual mauling, they stay at a distance, catching their breaths and poking at the head behind closed arms, before the bell rings to declare this one a draw.

ROUND 8:
Ain’t that often indeed to get two drawn rounds in a single fight, and it’s just testimony to the equal footing and respect these two fighters share. Lawrence may be four years older but she’s stayed in fighting shape for her in-and-out-of-the-ring career, showing excellent stamina as she again meets Hannah in the middle of the ring to throw down with the Vixen for the eighth consecutive round. Hannah, almost surprised by the strong showing of her foe, has to swerve out of the way of an early lunge towards her head, before Lawrence begins throwing more and more ammunition at her in the hopes of ending things early. Not so, with Hannah having been involved in worse fights in her career, and much more grueling. She steps out of the way of some of Lawrence’s more lethargic swings, before swiftly planting leather back on the bewildered blonde’s face: a straight hand grazing the chin here, a snap hook turning her head to the side there. Lawrence still ain’t giving up the chase, groaning and sweating profusely as she tries to keep on the champ but also keep her own balance. Hannah makes her pay for the rest of the round, however, constantly moving backwards but those tight forays forward seeing great success as she continues to land shots to Jennifer’s face and body. Round ends and there’s no doubt of a clear winner here, with Lawrence awkwardly stumbling back to her corner, looking like she’s about to collapse, whereas Hannah is still holding an arm high to acknowledge the cheering crowds.

ROUND 9:
Lawrence is still pushing herself forward, eager to finally claim an illustrious title for her already legendary stable. The Welterweight blonde is taking tentative steps forward, showing early promise as she slams a hard cross into Ferguson’s arms to start the round off with a bang. But it’s all for naught, as a follow-up lunge for Hannah’s chin misses completely, hitting the air to the side of her head, as Hannah weaved to one side with ease. Ferguson returns with a step-in swipe across the face, drawing a loud OUUFFF from Lawrence’s lips, before another hook is buried low into her body to fold her over in half. Lawrence backing away, hugging her body, shaking her head, almost defenceless as Hannah leaps in to snap her head back with a lasting shot to the forehead, and DOWN THE CHIMERA GIRL GOES AGAIN, this time flailing backwards in a hail of arms and legs before crashing down onto her back! THIS MIGHT BE THE END!

Hannah certainly thinks so, not bothering with the raise of the arm and simply turning around to head back to her corner to recuperate. She rests her back against the neutral corner turnbuckle, tummy and chest breathing hard and laboured. Meanwhile, Lawrence is slowly stirring from her back, equally heavy exhalations as she struggles to even get back to all fours. But the big blonde pushes herself indeed, soaking in the cheers at her back to steadily recover by the ropes by the last count of 9! Holy hell - she’s not done with chasing after the title!

Hannah meanwhile looks on from the other end of the ring, a healthy dose of admiration on her smiling face, after which she nods to the referee that she’s ready to continue as well. Jennifer Lawrence receives a hearty cheer and shout from her fans in the arena, as she too puts her gloves up and awaits the resumption of the bell. There’s still two minutes on the clock, however, and not much time after to turn the tables and pull a rabbit out of the hat!

Hannah cautiously stalks inwards once again, more than a little wary after her last assumption of Lawrence’s demise left her gasping for air on all fours. Lawrence makes slow and small steps out of her position from the ropes, but it’s clear the rest of her body is shaking from exertion and all the punishment taken thus far. Hannah tests her resolve with a steady stream of combos, banging away on the arms and body, and sees that Lawrence is barely fighting back. The challenger has her arms over her head but they’re also quite loose and unfocused, allowing the Vixen to land shot after shot off the top of her head or clean into her tummy and chest, making Lawrence HEAVE backwards even more. Last minute and we don’t think Jenn can last too much longer in there - she gets pushed back into the ropes and pinned down by as escalation of Hannah’s violence, the champ taking bigger and stronger swings at her head to send her reeling off to one side before getting bent over from a counter-blow to the ribs or tummy. Finally, the referee has seen enough! Lawrence had one arm up, the other hand clung onto the ropes to prevent another freefall to canvas. Hannah lands one more stiff shot to her nostrils before he LEAPS in to stop the rest of this fight! IT’S OVER!!

Official Decision: Hannah Ferguson defeats Jennifer Lawrence via TKO9! Hannah is STILL the Unified Welterweight Champion!

AFTER:
What a show indeed! Jennifer Lawrence certainly gave it her all, and she receives a standing ovation from the crowds, even after having fallen to her knees by the ropes, just eager to catch her breath and head home to collapse on the sofa to binge on Netflix.

Hannah, meanwhile, is all heart, staying right beside Lawrence and intent on helping her up to her feet when she’s feeling up to it. The Vixen may have just defended her Welterweight championship belt, but she ain’t intent of grabbing it from the nearby ring official. Instead, she’s grinning down at Lawrence, congratulating her on a hard-fought back-and-forth of a match. Lawrence also agrees, that trademark smirk soon returning to her reddened face after the medics manage to take a look at her.

The two blondes later share a long hug in the center of the ring, with Ferguson raising one of Lawrence’s arms high into the air, before escorting each other out of the ring at the same time. No hard feelings for this fight, but still plenty of action from a pair of motivated women!
