Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: It's the Main Event in Ann Arbor which will decide the outcome of the stable war as the two proud organizations are locked in a stalemate after four bouts. One doesn't need to introduce Kate Upton to the audience, anyone who's followed the FCBA action over the past four or five years should know all about the most popular woman in the boxing universe but 'Her Royal Curviness' remains very much down to Earth when speaking to ESPN's Erin Andrews:

"Hi, well, it's been a while since I fought on my home soil. Michigan isn't as fancy location as these Las Vegas or New York arenas but hey, I'm so thankful for this opportunity and the fact the Lioness crew agreed to schedule this event in my own backyard! Now, here's Cass Freeman, a really tough competitor! I never take these fights for granted but I hope that I'll prove my worth and silence all these hot Victoria's Secret babes that are making so much noise lately! I feel like a veteran now eve though I've got years of top class boxing left! It's almost like my success paved the way for some of these models to steal the headlines now but I'm not going anywhere!"

Meanwhile Cassidy Freeman has been sort of missing in action lately and dropped out of several welter rankings after last seeing action in November. She remains upbeat regarding her career prospects in an interview with Erin Andrews though: "I took a small break and people are wondering what the hell is going on! Tess Valmore will never get a free scoop from my manager so she's completely in the dark but the truth is, all these VS models pretty much invaded the front pages and I've decided to see them out! I'm not in JMDD contention and let's be honest, I'm not 23 years old anymore either. I prefer these Fergusons, Tahnees and Karlies to have a dogfight on their own and only step in when the dust settles. Of course there's an exception from every rule and Kate Upton is that exception. She's the top-selling name in the FCBA for a reason and a class above all these newcomers! So here I am!"

Kate Upton wears a Wolverines-themed blue bikini set with maize trim and matching maize gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Cassidy Freeman wears a green bikini set and silver gloves. Shoulder-lenght red hair wrapped in a thick bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

Rounds 1 & 2:
If anyone expected a slow start from these two veterans then the high-flying action springs a surprise or two as Cassidy tries to upstage the home state heroine and delivers a steady aerial assault which requires some quick thinking from the FCBA's most popular blonde. Kate is a natural power puncher but she can move around the ring alright and blocks most of the redhead's punches before looping noteworthy response that keeps Freeman honest down the stretch. The first couple of rounds are dominated by the aerial bombs and while Cassidy has zero JMDD experience and gives away a little too much in reach, she remains confident of success in mid-distance and Upton does little to change her stance in the early stages.

Round 3:
Kate moves on the front feet and beats the actress for a quick one-two upstairs before switching downstairs and drilling the redhead's guts for a good measure. She closes right in and smacks Freeman's ribcage from both flanks which reels the Lioness veteran back and allows the blonde to dominate a hectic close range pursuit thereafter. Heavy slugging from Upton leaves Cassidy reeling back onto the ropes and the single-hand reply over the top only grazes the model's cheeks and lacks some proper juice. Kate's all over the redhead come the final minute and enjoys pounding away at the guts which leaves the Illinois-native gasping for air and looking very subdued there in the corner. And the Michigan crowd loves every second of that Upton rally!

Round 4:
It's Freeman's time to find some head hunting success as she tracks the blonde down in the center of the ring and finally lands a proper body combo to briefly tame Upton's charge. A swift right-on-right exchange pierces the blonde's guard moments later though and wobbles the local heroine on her heels before a heavy right hook blasts her on the liver area and forces into a hectic cover. Ugh! Cassidy deploys rapid fire striking in close range and snaps the blonde ponytail around - backing the suddenly frozen Kate back to the ropes down the stretch. The lanky model tries to clinch the redhead but Freeman clips her chin with a seemingly wayward head-butt and completes her recovery by digging heavy onslaught into Upton's world-famous jugs. Even such a JMDD veteran feels a proper heat like that and yelps out her frustration at the bell with Cassidy staring at her with steely eyes just long enough to indicate this bout is far from being decided!

Round 5:
Cassidy settles in the phone booth-like exchange and targets Kate's rack repeatedly during the opening minute and the blonde model can't properly stretch her elbows now that she's under serious jug muggin' pressure. It's safe to say the Lookout! crew didn't anticipate such a bravado from the redhead and the only way Kate can escape the heat at this moment is to clinch the older woman - even though that doesn't halt the Lioness momentum on the long run. Freeman barges her way through on the solar plexus and beats Upton for a quick uppercut on the chin before another deep shot across the cleavage sends a scowling blonde onto the ropes just before the bell. It's basically a dead heat at half-distance and the long spell on the sidelines seems to have worked wonders for the redhead who looks more than ready to match the league's best fighter stride for stride!

Round 6:
Kate needs to find that big punch quickly but she allows the actress to stalk her with more punishing jabs to the body during the opening minute and only gets herself out of trouble when a wayward hook somehow finds the temple and reels Cassidy sideways. Kate moves onto the front foot and harpoons the redhead's chest before clipping her chin for a good measure and suddenly a classic brawl ensues in the center of the ring with both women working quick jabs and half-uppercuts to hopefully sink the other one on jelly knees. It's easier said than done though and neither woman can claim the bragging rights in that heated exchange, Cassidy looks a little worse to wear of the two as she breaths much heavier than Kate but she refuses to yield an inch of real estate and signs off a stubborn performance with a nasty belter on the navel which makes Upton scream in visible discomfort.

Round 7:
We're inching closer to the money rounds and Kate's aerial attack finally wrecks havoc in Cassidy's high guard here in the seventh. The Lioness veteran was just that little slow off her stool and allows the supermodel to dominate the head hunting exchange before losing her balance following a mis-timed swing on her own! Ugh! KATE FINDS THE HAYMAKERRRRRR!!! She clobbers Freeman on the nasal ridge which visibly sinks the Illinois actress on soft knees before powering ahead with brutal facial shots!!! Cassidy's arms drop to the side and she gets pounded back to the ropes where she aches her heart out but can't stop the league's P4P leader from piling on more pressure, the sheer strenght behind Upton's punches unties the thick bun and has Freeman's head rocking from side to side and quite frankly, a less-skilled fighter would have gone down in a heap a long time ago but Cassidy somehow defies the odds and maintains the upright all the way through until the bell. Ugh! That's impressive enough for Kate to nod back in approval but the truth is, she just clobbered the older woman in pillar-to-post fashion and Freeman can barely walk back to her corner on extremely soft legs. Can she possibly recover from this almighty drubbing here?

Round 8:
Well, the answer is "NO" as Kate easily connects with a steady jabbing assault and splits the redhead's mitts to resume rocking her head back & forth. Cassidy's squeals are getting louder and louder as she wilts under the blonde's leather galore and eventually she's battered into a standing dummy as Upton keeps the power supply on and leaves the actress nursing a fat lip and couple of nasty cuts above each eye. Freeman swings back in hopeless fashion here, she can't even graze the blonde's flesh and eventually Kate delivers the mercy shot, she nails the subdued foe across the nasal ridge - resulting in another cut - which SENDS FREEMAN SLIDING DOWN ON HER BACKSIDE!!! Freeman has seen it all in her FCBA career but she only rolls onto her side and bends her head against the canvas to rise no more!!! KO8 Kate Upton!!!

AFTER: There isn't any doubt who's the league's best-selling name despite plenty of noise coming from the likes of Hannah Ferguson and Tahnee Atkinson lately. Kate Upton remains the ultimate welterweight benchmark around and actually remains surprisingly sympathetic when she reaches out for the downed Cassidy and helps her onto her feet. Meanwhile there's a commotion just below as Vanessa Hudgens and Jessica Lowndes engage in a wild hair-pulling contest which escalated when Nessa's little sister Stella tried to steal the Lioness Club banner and torch it in the middle of the ring to underline just which of the two stable emerged on top in this tightly-contested battle. Apparently Selena Gomez got sucker punched by Stella in the gut and couldn't keep watch on the banner while Stella Hudgens becomes the main target of a collective Lioness assault. Sparring partner Shenae Grimes jumps in to whack Stella across the lips before jumping on Nessa's back and tackling both her and Lowndes to the ground. Oh and well, Demi Lovato joins in the fun and grabs Shenae's hair from behind and whips her backwards to then separate Nessa and Jessica who are still screaming like wild cats and refuse to let go of each other's hair.

Meanwhile Kate and Cassidy can only watch this catfighting extravaganza from the ring and share a friendly chat. The Stable War has concluded with Lookout! Boxing doubling up on their November 2015 success but it doesn't mean the two groups share bitter hatred like Nessa and Jessica. We'd need to talk about all this in the bar, Kate tells Cass and well, the drinks are on the Lookouts here! The dust eventually settles down but there's still no love lost between certain members of each stable and the FCBA should hear plenty of noise coming from this direction in months - if not years - to come yet!

Final result: Kate Upton def. Cassidy Freeman KO8.
Stable War (Final): Lookout! Boxing 3, Lioness Club of America 2.
