(Latin Union vs Double A)

Intro:
The Bantamweight title is on the line, actress Lea Seydoux is hoping
to dethrone singer Una Healy in what is going to be a tough fight for
both women.
Lea is 31 years old, 5'6 and comes into this contest with a 17 wins;
16 by knockout and 10 losses in her career, she's won her last 5
fights and is ranked 11th in the FCBA rankings.
Una is 35 years old, 5'7 and has 24 wins to her name, 18 by knockout
and 10 losses of her own, she is currently on an 11 fight win streak
and this is her second BBU bantamweight title run.

Face to face at the press conference, both girls stares each other
down, the feel just in this room is intense as the girls start looking
each other up and down till Lea stares at the title on Una's left
shoulder.
The organisers of the event have to get between the girls as they nod
at each other as if to say "just you wait" as they finally break eye
contact and head to their tables.
Lea is asked to speak first, she says "thank you to Una for giving me
this shot, I know she was picking through a long list of girls from
all the chatter in the locker rooms"
She continues staring at Una "but you know I'm coming to rip that
title from your shoulder as I have made one mistake in my life in the
ring, I won't be making it again"
Lea is talking about the only other time she had a shot at a BBU
title, that was 4 years ago, she lost to Virginie Ledoyen by decision,
a knockdown in round 10 changed her chance at victory to defeat for
the flyweight title.
Lea finishes by saying "so this is time France returned to where it
belongs in the BBU, on top of this organization with me and Malika
Menard leading the way"
Una gets her turn as she stares at Lea and says "I picked Lea because
I mean look at her, she has beaten Megan Fox and Olivia Nunn to name
two in her career, so it was a no brained for me on that front"
Adding "where she is completely wrong is that she's taking my title, I
haven't won my last 11 bouts to just hand the title over to you"
Lea nods as the two fighters meet up and shake hands respectfully, but
there is a tenseness to the shake, the girls know they are going to
have to bring everything in their lockers to win this fight.

Fight night, out comes Lea first with Sophie Marceau by her side, she
is wearing a blue sports bra, a French flag designed satin trunks with
blue gloves and shoes.
Walking down to the ring, she blows kisses to the crowd, who are
cheering her as a large French presence appears to have come over for
this fight, hoping to see a title with another one of their fighters
this year.
Climbing into the ring, Lea bows to each side of the ring, before
stepping into her corner and begin warming up.
Out comes Una now, she has Kara Tointon with her, holding the title
belt up to the crowd, Una is wearing a green sports bra, gloves and
shoes, while her trunks are a velvet Republic of Ireland flag style
print.
Down to the ring walks Una, she mindlessly waves to her cheering Irish
fans, her eyes are purely focused on her opponent and what she is
going to do to retain her title.
She climbs into the ring and nods to the crowd then heads to her
corner to quickly warm up as the tension is rising in the arena.
Both girls are ushered to the ring centre by the referee, the girls
meet up as the ref goes through his instructions, Kara holds the title
behind Una, as Sophie tells Lea "this is your night"
Both girls look nervous, even after all the tough fights they've had,
the atmosphere seems to be adding to their nerves as they stare hard
at each other.
Asked to touch gloves, respectfully they touch them up and nod at each
other, then head back to their corners to finish preparations.
The referee sees everyone is out of the ring who shouldn't be there
and signals to the timekeeper to begin 10 rounds of bantamweight
championship boxing action.

Round 1:
"Ding" and off we go as the girls roar out of their corners for the
opening exchange of the fight, the girls go hammer and tongs for the
first minute.
Una backs the slightly smaller Lea back up a step with a hard three
punch combo up top to create the first bit of separation between the
fighters.
Lea starts using her feet, moving around Una and using her jab to
measure up her attacks, that's as Una keeps pressing forwards.
The Irish fighter presses Lea to the ropes as both girls trade it out
to the body, Lea trying to fight her way off the ropes, having to
clinch to force the referee to get involved.
As the fighters are pulled apart, Lea moves off the ropes and as they
are ordered to fight, the French fighter using her quick hands to keep
Una back a step.
The late stage of the round, sees the girls now know what they have to
do to win, Lea is making sure to use her speed to keep on the move,
Una meanwhile is trying to walk down Lea.
Una digs her jab into the lips of Lea, as she goes for a follow up
right hook, she misses and Lea lands three fast digging shots to the
body to force a gasp from the champ.
The challenger seems to take solace from that success as she lands a
good left hook over the top of the guard of Una.
But going towards the end of the round, the girls trade in the ring
centre and the bell rings to end the round to a loud cheer as the
girls stand and stare at each other.
While the girls have a level of respect, but when the girl across from
you is trying to take what you want off you, then they are not
anything other than a roadblock.
Returning to their corners, neither fighter is really focusing on
their coach as they get cleaned up, staring across the ring to each
other as the world is just them two.

Round 2:
Back out come the fighters to continue the fight, Una landing a hard
straight between the gloves of Lea to begin the round.
Lea ducks a roundhouse right hand, instead the challenger lands two
body shots, then slips an uppercut in to knock the champs head back.
Healy lands two jabs to try and gain back control of the fight, but
Lea is starting to get into a rhythm with her speed.
The fighters trade some hard body shots, Lea lands the cleaner strikes
in this exchange, the French portion of the crowd look excited by what
they are seeing as the noise in the arena grows.
Lea slips backwards and works the body of the champ with quick
strikes, while she circles out of the champs rushing attacks.
Una looks slightly flustered, she's landing some good long range shots
when she gets the chance, but is being outworked by her younger
opponent.
As the round is in it's late stages, Una manages to press Lea towards
the ropes with two good hooks over the guard and the drive appears to
be on for her.
But Lea sidesteps Una and as the champ looks stunned at the speed of
her opponent, she is now pressed to the ropes under a barrage of
punches.
Most hit her guard as she leans on the ropes and the bell rings to a
loud roar from the crowd, as Lea raises her arms to try and show her
dominance over the champ.
Una nods and tells her "just wait till the next round" before each
girl returns to their corners to get cleaned up, each is starting to
look marked up with red cheeks.

Round 3:
Well Una's prediction looks like it's going to be wrong in the early
going as Lea quickly gets back into her rhythm, letting the champ
swing, before getting her head out of the way to give herself a chance
to counterattack.
The challenger works the body of champ with some piercing straights
eating away at the abs of Una to cause to grunt with each shot.
Una manages to land a right cross to the lips of Lea to force her back
a step, Healy grins a little, more from relief that she can hurt this
wily fox when she can hit her.
Again Una drives Lea back some a mixture of punches, but she gets
caught with an uppercut to rock her head back.
Lea is once again able to work away with her target being the champs
ribs, two crushing body shots back the champ up as duelling chants
fill the arena.
Una tries to land some power shots, Seydoux moves her head and body
out of the way with some incredible movement, then slams a right
straight through the gap left by Una to her nose to cause her to take
another step back this round and shake her head.
Lea lands a good hook to the side of Una's head to reel her towards
the ropes, a loud cheer erupts as Lea's fans chant her name.
But as Una gets put on the ropes, she fires back, the champ is far
from done as in desperation, she swings and catches Lea with a left
hook and a straight to press her backwards.
Lea is forced to trade with Una in tight, the Irish fighter is working
her back, digging away to the body of the French fighter as the two go
back and forth.
The bell rings to end the round, both girls looking pissed that
neither has hurt the other badly enough yet to have an early bath.
The girls eyes meet as the crowd chant each girls name, the referee
urging both girls back to there corners, both do but only after
telling each other how they feel with one simple word "bytch!"
Una looks calm, she knows that she's been outboxed but she also knows
that she can hurt Lea, while Lea is getting animated in her corner,
annoyed at herself for letting Una back into the fight, when she had
her on the ropes.

Round 4:
Lea tries to control Una with her quick hands but Una shoves her way
through a double jab that stings her lips, to land a hard straight of
her own to the nose of her opponent.
As Lea steps back, Una sticks to her like her life depends on it as
she pounds the sides of Lea's body, forcing the French fighter in to a
tight slugfest.
Both groan under the others assault, it's Seydoux that is being
pressed back as a right cross to her lips turns her head around.
The challenger moves back to land a defensive jab to the nose of Una,
it's the champ on the attack as she lands a digging body shot, then
three punches up top.
This time it's Lea whose pushed to the ropes, the girls trade it out
and now it's the champs fans who are roaring her on now.
Lea clinches up to stop being hammered on the ropes, blood drips from
a cut lip onto the blondes chin as the referee tries to let the girls
work out of the chin, but the most they do is slam away to the others
kidneys.
Separated by the referee, Una slams a hard jab to the lips of Lea to
knock her back even further around the ring.
Lea slips a right cross though to smack her left hand to the nose of
the redhead, that snaps Una's head back and now she is being knocked
back several steps.
Late in the round and it's a hammer and tings affair, the girls
lighting each other up top as the clock ticks away.
Una lands another hard right cross to the lips of Lea to force a cry
of anguish from her lips, the bell rings seconds later and only now
does Una realise her nose is bleeding as she wipes her nose and sees
the blood on her glove.
Returning to their corners, both sets of coaches have to clean their
fighters of blood and try to get them ready to continue this brutal
contest.
Lea is told to get her feet moving again, as she's being caught way
too often and it's the worst scenario that her and Sophie had worked
out before the fight.
While Una whose nose is being cleaned up, is told by Kara to keep on
top of this, if she lets Lea get out the jack in the box, it's going
to be a long night for the champ, more rounds like the last and it
becomes routine.

Round 5:
Out come the girls, Lea trying to use her jab to create separation
early, but Una has the slight reach advantage, so instead it's the
redhead who is cracking her over the top of her guard with the cleaner
shots.
Una is walking down Lea once more, with the blonde dancing on her
toes, slipping past a hastily thrown straight punch to slam away to
the body of the champ, before being shoved away.
Measuring each other, Una slams a left hook to the ribs of Seydoux to
get a grimace from her then a right hook up top stuns the challenger.
Down goes Lea! A follow up right hook put the challenger down to her
side and the crowd is screaming either it's support in parts or boos
in others.
Una quickly gets to a neutral corner, as the ref begins his count of
Lea, the challenger puts her gloves above her head, trying to suck in
as much air as she can as she tries to clear her head.
As the count reaches 6, she sits up and beats the count at 8, as she
shakes her head at Una to say that it was just a flash knockdown,
pundits are ringside question that, as luminaries like Clara Morgane
and Jessica Schwartz argue over that point at ringside, as even rivals
put aside their differences to see whose going to win this fight but
still find ways to fight.
The fight in the ring resumes, Una quickly trying to pounce on what
she hopes is wounded prey, while Lea gets her legs going, but it's in
retreat.
Each jabs away at the other, till Una swings to the body of Lea, then
sends a flurry of punches to the guard of the blonde fighter to back
her up further.
As Lea is about to be knocked into a corner, she times her clinch
attempt and ducks under the shots to grab onto the waist of the champ.
Una takes a few free shots to the body, till the referee gets involved
to split the pair apart and warn Lea to keep her head up.
The champs fans are roaring for her to finish off Lea, as she
continues to walk down Seydoux with her jab, then changes the tempo
when she feels nothing coming her way.
Lea shows her wily nature though, leaning out of the way of a surely
fight ending right haymaker, then stepping in to land several shots to
the body of Healy, before taking one on her own body and retreating.
Una though definitely wins this round as the bell rings, she roars at
Lea to try and psyche her out, Lea gives her a deathly stare in reply
as tempers are starting to get to boiling point.
As both sit on their stools in their corner, their cheeks are swelling
up, Una's nose isn't bleeding as badly but still has crimson running
down from a nostril, while Lea has blood dripping onto her bust from
her lips.

Round 6:
Una looks so much more confident, slinging her jab out to the lips of
Lea, the crowd continue to fuel the atmosphere with duelling chants
filling the air.
Lea is still working the body of the champ, but it's Una pressing her
back now that she is starting to get a gauge of the action.
There's a small exchange of punches, before Lea steps back and cracks
Una with a right hook that gets the redheads attention.
Una nods at her as if to say "so you're still in this" as the girls
circle, before stepping into action again.
The champ sends a flurry at the head of Seydoux, quickly changing
target to dig to the body of the challenger as a furious exchange
between the two occurs as they try to wear each other out.
Lea clinches up again to disrupt the champions flow, both snarling at
each other, as their primal instincts to dominant the other is coming
through.
Pulled apart, Una lands a hard straight to those lips to knock Lea's
head back and now the redhead powers forward this round.
Knocking Lea back several steps, till the French girl moves out the
way of a lunging right hand and lands a scything right to the left
eyebrow of the champion.
Cameras pick up a small cut just above the eyebrow of the champion
from that last punch, Lea is scoring straights to it in a bid to
really open it wide open.
Una can feel the sting of those punches, her left eye closing with
each shot and now she clinches to take a moment to reassess what is
going on.
The referee does his job again and the girls trade with not long to go
in the round and as the bell rings, the fighters keep going to the
delight of the fans.
But certainly not to their corners, Sophie and Kara rush out to pull
their girls apart as the fighters grapple with each other and throw to
the body and kidneys of the other girl.
Both stare hatefully at each other, the ultimate prize in the BBU is
in their gasp, Una trying to hang onto it for dear life, Lea trying to
gasp it for the first time in her career.
Luckily for the ref, they make it back to their corners, he warns each
to break when he says or he'll throw the fight out and disqualify both
girls.

Round 7:
Both girls are bloodied and tired, but they come out as keenly as they
can, exchanging jabs early on till they can find an opening.
Una evidently thinks she has found it early in the round as she lunges
forward with a right hook and Lea steps into the pocket of space and
lands a hard straight right on the money.
Una is down now! The champ lays on her back, blinking at the ceiling
as the arena goes wild, Clara Morgane and Jessica Schwarz even stand
up on unison, stunned at what they just saw, before they look at each
other as if to ask "did that happen?"
Healy is being urged by her fans to get up as pundits wonder if she
can hear the count with all the noise, clearly she does as she beats
the count at 8 to a sigh of relief from Kara in her corner.
The referee checks her over and deems her OK to continue, that brings
Lea in to try and end it and a monster slugfest starts up.
The champ is being rocked to the ropes and if not for a desperation
lunge to clinch up, we may have been saying goodnight to the title
rein of Healy.
The fighters are pulled apart and Una shows she's not as badly hurt as
she seemed or she's a hell of s bluffer, she lands a hard right hook
to rock Lea back to the centre of the ring.
Lea ducks her head down to charge forward and dig away to the body,
till the ref gets involved and warns Lea again to keep that head up.
Both girls are getting desperate as they get back at each other and
the fight goes all around the ring till both need to clinch to catch
their breath.
The bell rings with both girls still locked together and the crowd
can't wait for the next round as even the fighters who were in the
back from the bantamweight division have snuck into the crowd to see
what's happening.
The girls are helped to their stools by their coaches, both sit on
their stools and let their coaches do their jobs at cleaning them up.

Round 8:
Out come the girls, neither has much pep to their steps as they meet
near the ring centre to trade hard shots.
Una seems to have recovered somewhat as she gets in tight to Lea to
force a tight exchange between the two fighters.
Back and forth they go, not many punches being thrown, but the groans
coming from both fighters tells you the pain each is in.
Lea steps back and cracks Una to the face with a hard right hand and
back goes the champion onto her heels, the cut above her left eyebrow
is starting to really open up as blood runs down her cheek.
The French girls keeps pounding away to the unstable Irish girl and
down goes Una to her back after a right hook to her temple.
The crowd are up again, sensing history as Lea rushes as fast as her
tired legs will take her to get to a neutral corner.
The referee is counting as Una is staring glassy eyed into the crowd
as she lays on her side, at 6 she starts to turn to her front to try
and push herself up.
Her fans are willing her on as the noise in the arena feels like it's
going to rip the roof off the place, Una starts to push on all fours.
But she doesn't have the strength as she makes it to a knee but
stumbles back to all fours as the referee reaches the count of 10 and
history is made!

Winner: New BBU bantamweight Champion Lea Seydoux KO Round 8

After:
Lea can't believe it, she falls to her knees in tears as her coach
Sophie Marceau rushes in to hug her as the Latin Union have a champion
now in their ranks.
Una Healy is also crying, her title rein is over, she gave her all to
retain but it wasn't enough tonight, she is absolutely heartbroken by
these turn of events and Kara Tointon can only try and comfort her.
All the bantamweight fighters who were on the card and able to leave
their locker rooms to watch this fight are stunned by this sight, even
Clara Morgane and Jessica Schwarz are stunned.
That quickly changes as Clara smirks and turns to her rival to say
"see you German w****, us French fighters are class"
Security has to get between the two girls on the outside of the ring
shockingly as a slap from Jessica, gets a swift reply from Clara.
Jessica is told to sit down as Clara Morgane begs to be let into the
ring to congratulate the champ, but she has to wait.
As does the rest of the Latin Union girls, they stand at the bottom of
the entrance ramp, in tears for their fellow fighter winning a major
title finally.
While they've had arguments and fought in the ring, watching Lea be
brought to the ring centre and announced as the New BBU Bantamweight
Champion! Gets them cheering for their girl.

Una just leaves the ring with Kara's help, she can't bare to see her
title be given to her opponent, cameras pick up her tear streaked face
and she'll have to wait and see who the champ is as she doesn't have
the first say on getting her rematch to add to her woes.
Lea is given the BBU title to hold up to the crowd who as they have
all fight long, give a loud roar and a round of applause rings out for
the new champion.
Her stablemates Laura Pausini, Elodie Frege, Elisabetta Canalis and
Sabrina Salerno all climb into the ring and congratulate her, as
former member Clara Morgane enters to an awkward stare from the girls
in the ring.
Clara puts her hand out to Lea and the two former stablemates shake
hands but there is an edge to the handshake, as Clara would love that
belt around her waist instead of Lea's.
Clara leaves the ring and the Latin girls lift up Lea, who looks
embrassed at first, but as the crowd show their love for her, she
raises her title to them as if she were a Queen being coronated.
After she gets carried around the ring, the girls put her down and all
have a group hug to show while the stable has had a rocky past 12
months, this year is ending on a high.
As Lea leaves with the belt firmly around her waist, she enters 2017
with one hell of a bullseye on her back, girls litter the arena
tonight wanting a shot, Una herself will want a shot and it won't be
long till she's defending that title once more.
So the hornets nest of the bantamweight division is going to be a pain
for her, but dethroning a champ like Una is a perfect starting block
as you can have.
