Intro:
Finally the main event of Boxermania 3, New York City's Barclay's Center is about to witness two unbeaten Juggernauts do battle, Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair look to take the zero from their opponent.

Ronda is 32 years old; she stands 5'6 and holds an unbeaten record of 3 wins, all of those by knockout.

Charlotte is also 32 years old; she stands 5'10 and holds an unbeaten record of 6 wins, all by knockout.

A video package previews the fight with Carrie Underwood's "The Champion" playing, it shows both fighters signature knockouts in their careers, with Charlotte Flair knocking out Brooke Hogan, while Ronda knocks out Gena Lee Nolin.

Then we see the first confrontation between the two, after Charlotte had knocked out Charlize Theron last November, Ronda and Charlotte had a brawl that had coaches rushing in to pull the two apart.

The footage then shows both winning their women's titles in wrestling and Ronda winning in the UFC, showing both are natural winners, while they hate losing as their defeats are shown.

Before Ronda tells an interviewer "Charlotte was the big WWE star, the face of their women's division before I turned up to break that, I know she hates me for it, all I say to that is bring it bytch"

While Charlotte says "I'm the genetically superior athlete in the world, the Queen of the ring, when Ronda put her hands on me after the Charlize fight, that's the biggest mistake of her life"

Turning to the camera as if speaking directly to Ronda, she says threateningly "the knockouts Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm gave you will be nothing to what I do to you"

Ronda's final words are "I will break you Charlotte as I have done countless other women, your dad won't be able to save you"

The final image of the video is the two facing off at the weigh in, eyes full of hatred as they raise their fists while standing in bikinis (black for Ronda, baby blue for Charlotte) the two women being pulled apart as words are exchanged.

Fighting time; cameras are on Ronda back stage, a stage hand tells her it is time as "I don't care about my bad reputation" starts as Joan Jett herself is on the ramp singing the song live for Ronda.

A loud cheer rings out as here is Ronda! She bounces on her toes at the top of the ramp, wearing her black leather jacket, Ronda looks fully focused as she heads down to the ring.

She climbs into the ring, with her coach taking her jacket off to reveal she is wearing a black sports bra with "Rowdy" in orange letters across the bust, red trunks with "Ronda" in black letters with gold trim, red shoes and gloves, her hair is braided.

Now "Recognition" starts playing, as a throne comes up from down below onto the ramp, Charlotte sits on the throne with a golden crown on her head, two guys in gold armour help her up.

As Charlotte heads down to the ring with her customary gold robe with feathers around the neck, a guard of honour is formed by more men in armour with their swords up for Charlotte to walk under.

When Charlotte reaches the bottom of the ramp, she hands the crown off and her robe, then heads to the side of the ring so she can do her handstand front flip, before sliding into the ring and doing a backwards roll onto her feet.

Once Charlotte is in her corner; she gets her golden gloves on to go with her matching gear, "Flair" is in silver letters on her waistband with diamonds on the trim, her hair is in a ponytail.

After all the show it's time to get things rolling, the fighters come to the center of the ring for final instructions, the crowd roar as the atmosphere is electric, a fight worthy to main event anywhere in the world.

The staredown is truly intense; with both slamming their gloves into the others when prompted, then head back to their corners so the bell can ring to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
Charlotte's coach would have been hoping she doesn't start off slowly as she has, well Ronda answers that question quickly by getting right into her opponent's face straight away.

Forcing Charlotte to trade inside, which looks the perfect spot for the smaller Ronda, who works the body to make Flair cover up already.

The taller fighter needing to nudge Ronda back, struggling to get the jab going at the moment though, that is why Rousey is able to get into the pocket to work.

The main focus of Rousey appears to be the body, which she keeps getting a taste of as Charlotte is struck being bullied around the ring.

Finally after landing a double jab to the face of Ronda, Flair starts to get going with her range, getting on the move as she gets her head hunting punches going.

Problem for Charlotte is the bell rings to end the round before she can do more damage, leading Charlotte to argue with her coach as she sits down over that slow start.

While Ronda smiles as she watches it unfold, her coach tells her not to underestimate Charlotte, which seems to get Ronda back in business mode.

Round 2:
This time Charlotte is out the corner faster, establishing her jab on the top of Ronda's face as she boxes at range, forcing Ronda to cover up more tightly as she looks for chances to get inside.

When Ronda tries to get inside; she is sidestepped by Charlotte, who fires back two punches into the face of the former UFC champion.

Ronda does get success though as she slips under the punches from Charlotte, this time coming up with overhand punches to clip the chin of Charlotte, who is leaning back.

Ending up pushing Charlotte to the ropes, with Charlotte smartly quick to clinch, stopping Ronda getting her rhythm going.

So once they apart; it is Charlotte who is back to controlling the pace, keeping Ronda at arms length as she wants her opponent to feel her power, not the other way around.

With the round ending with Charlotte raising her right fist into the air as she struts back to her corner, her coach telling her to knock that off as she needs all her focus on this woman.

Across the ring Ronda looks annoyed with herself, this corner though looks a little more harmonious as they discuss what to do to get inside.

Round 3:
Charlotte's reach allows her to start off stronger of the two, her jab is now there for her as she knocks the head back of Rousey.

Who ducks under it and quickly steps in with an overhand right, Charlotte doesn't get her left back in time to block her chin getting caught.

Suddenly Ronda comes to life as she backs up Charlotte onto the ropes, digging away to the body of the taller fighter as she looks to cut her down to size.

Charlotte clinches up; telling Ronda "I'm going to embarrass you" which considering what's happening might be tricky.

Once apart Ronda is quick to get on Charlotte, forcing her on the defensive as she thuds away at the body, making Charlotte's guard dip down, where Ronda switches up to the top.

Making Charlotte keep needing to clinch to some boos, the crowd not enjoying the tactics, but it looks to be the only way to slow down Rousey.

The round ends for a shutout for Ronda, who keeps it strictly business as she heads back to her corner, bumping fists with her coach as they discuss the action so far.

Round 4:
Ronda keeps marching forwards; with Charlotte boxing off the back foot, trading single punches with Ronda, whose looking to keep the distance close so she can really go to work.

As Ronda steps in with a right towards the body; Charlotte steps out the way and counters with a right across the top of Ronda's head.

Suddenly Charlotte lands three more punches to the head of Ronda, who is covering up as Charlotte now has the center of the ring.

Ronda having to move around the outside of the ring, this is the last place she wants to be as Charlotte simply keeps her towards the ropes with those head shots.

Most of Charlotte's punches find the gloves of Ronda, the ones that find a home through the gloves of her smaller opponent though are knocking her head back.

Till late in the round Ronda times her attack; dipping under a straight to land a left to the ribs, forcing a heated exchange to finish the round.

When the bell rings there is an exchange of words, before they pass each other by to the corners, with Ronda's corner reminding her not to break her focus.

Across the ring Charlotte is told by her coach that they want more of that, with her happy to get washed down while banging her gloves together.

Round 5:
It finally looks like Charlotte is warmed up as she boxes around Ronda; keeping her opponent back with those stiff shots to the head.

Ending up with a right opening up a cut on the lips of Ronda, keeping her something to bother her as Charlotte keeps her on the outside.

But Ronda ducks under a jab, stepping in as Charlotte back tracks with her punches targeting the body of the Carolina native.

Who needs to give Ronda a little nudge to open up the gap again, Ronda though is forcing the issue as both women throw combinations at each other.

The more compact Ronda looking the better in these exchanges as she moves forwards to get inside the pocket, where she works her best against these bigger fighters.

Both women opening up as seconds tick away in the round; Flair's coach looking the less happy at this, shown why when Charlotte takes an uppercut that definitely pushed her back at the bell.

Heading to her corner; Charlotte is told to stick to the gameplan, Charlotte replying "I know what I am doing, she isn't better then what I've faced"

The Rousey corner look much more relaxed, her lip is cleaned up and some swelling around her cheeks is worked on, but they know she is getting the better of the action so far.

Round 6:
Ronda continues to march on the front foot; she is taking some good shots to the face, but is able to slip under a straight to land a straight to the body.

Now on the inside she forces Charlotte to trade with her, AN UPPERCUT CATCHES CHARLOTTE ON HER CHIN TO SEND HER TO HER BACKSIDE!

The Ronda fans voice their pleasure at seeing the "Queen" on her ass, 1...2...3.. Charlotte shakes her head as she clears it, 4...5...6... Moving up to a knee as she scowls at Ronda, 7...8.. Then getting up to her feet with her gloves up.

Charlotte doesn't look too badly hurt; Ronda wants to change that as she comes on the attack, letting her hands go as she backs Charlotte up towards the ropes.

Where Flair drags her into a clinch, looking happy for the moment to take a breath, the referee steps in to break the two apart.

Charlotte is struggling to keep Rousey off her, covering up as the smaller fighter muscles her into a corner, reddening up the sides of Charlotte's body.

The bell rings to end the round with Ronda simply turning on her heel to return to her corner, no emotions from her as her corner team look happy for her.

Charlotte meanwhile gets ice packs on her body, while her coach tells her "you are losing this fight! This is your moment to prove yourself because all those people out there don't believe in you right now!" Normally that would seem too negative, but it looks to have pissed off Flair.

Round 7:
Ronda comes out pressuring Charlotte from the off, keeping her fellow blonde on the back foot as she looks for the stoppage.

Charlotte though is catching Ronda to the top of her head each time she turns to the body, allowing her to work Rousey back to the outside.

Both fighters having success; with sweat flying off both as they open up to trade, Ronda looks to be the one on top at the moment as she keeps backing her opponent towards the ropes.

But Charlotte nudges Ronda back; with Ronda looking to get back inside, Charlotte catches her with a right across the top of Rousey's eye.

Follow up shots catch Ronda in the same spot, opening a cut above the eyebrow of Ronda's left eye, blood running down her face.

Ronda forced to cover up as Charlotte begins to march her down, targeting that cut as Charlotte throws from different angles as she looks to be gaining confidence.

When Ronda tries to get out of her guard; Charlotte steps back to counter with straight shots that knocks the head back of the smaller fighter.

The round ends with Ronda wiping blood from her face as she heads back to her corner; her corner team working on that cut to stop the bleeding.

While Charlotte smirks as she sits down; her coach telling her "this is your chance! Take it with both hands!" With Flair simply nodding.

Round 8:
As they start trading; Charlotte is coming on more aggressive then she has through the fight so far, opening that cut again with a right cross.

That puts Ronda back on the defensive, with Charlotte using her left forearm to nudge Rousey onto the ropes, where she swings her right into the side of the head.

Ronda clinches up as the referee steps in to break them apart; that cut is starting to look bad as even though Ronda has looked good till the last round, she looks the worse due to the blood on her face.

Charlotte not letting Ronda breath as she steps forwards, throwing punches in bunches to keep her rival on the retreat.

Late in the round; Ronda tries to dip down to come inside, she eats another right though across her head, with a left uppercut straightening her up.

Ronda is being smashed back into a corner as the bell rings to save her from more punishment, her corner is quick to get to work on her cut.

Charlotte meanwhile is smiling as she raises her fists above her head, her coach nods as they know it's pointless at this stage arguing with her, simply telling her to keep on the attack till her hand is raised by the referee.

Round 9:
Both women are starting to slow down; which is a big problem for Ronda as she is getting caught each time she tries to open up.

That cut has really turned this fight as Charlotte looks her most relaxed tonight, drilling punches into the face of Ronda.

Who does manage to dip down to get inside, letting her hands go as she doesn't know how many times she can get in this close.

But Charlotte pulls her into a tight clinch, stopping her momentum dead as the referee breaks them apart, Charlotte quickly gets into space.
When Ronda ducks down this time; CHARLOTTE MOVES TO THE LEFT TO LAND A DOUBLE JAB, RONDA MOVES BACK AND STANDS UP INTO A RIGHT HOOK THAT PUTS HER DOWN TO HER SIDE!

The Charlotte fans all "wooo!" For their hero as she heads to the neutral corner, 1...2...3...4.. Ronda turns to her side with her eyes staring at the lights, 5...6...7.. Ronda just lays spread eagle as 8...9...10 she is counted out!

Winner Charlotte Flair KO Round 9

After:
The unbeaten streak of Ronda is the one to fall tonight as Charlotte goes 7 up in her career, she let's out a "woooo!" For her fans as she marches over to Ronda.

The trainer of Ronda tries to stop Charlotte heading to her, but she pushes them aside as she stands over Ronda, feet either side her Rousey's body as she raises her arms in the air.

Out comes Sasha Banks, Bayley and Becky Lynch, all smiling as they slide into the ring, Charlotte nodding to them with a grin as the four horsewomen of wrestling stand together.

Charlotte tosses her gloves off, with all four giving the hand symbol of the four horsewomen to a loud cheer, a message to the rest of the FCBA that they are coming to rule the organization in the ring.

Finally Charlotte steps over Ronda so the ringside doctor and Rousey's coach can get to her, blood from Ronda's cut is pooling on the canvas.

She is helped to sit up; with tears streaming down Ronda's face, that cut above her left eye proved a massive stumbling block for her.

The winner steps out the ring with her friends, Charlotte leading them up the ramp to the top, where they pose as fireworks start to go off the titantron.

Questions will now be asked how Ronda bounces back, her UFC losses are well documented, will history repeat herself.

As Boxermania threes coverage ends with the cameras focusing on Ronda looking dejected as she stands up after the blood is wiped off her face.
