Lucy: 28 YO, 5’2 (1.57 m), 23-21-0, 22 KO since 2010, Pretty Little Punchers
Vanessa: 28 YO, 5’2 (1.57 m) 45-28-0, 38 KO since 2007, Lookout Boxing

Before: No love lost between these two fighters as they meet the press ahead of their latest encounter. Vanessa speaks first with a withering glare at Lucy.

“You took my title belt away! You think I am ever going to forget that? Those stupid judges were wrong—I deserved the decision—not you! I have been waiting over a year to have my revenge. I am only sorry you couldn’t hang onto the title belt until now, but spoiling your mini-PPV is a good first payment!”

Lucy Hale gives the seething Lookout fighter a withering look of her own: “You have been whining about that decision for so long everyone is sick of it—and you. The fans are going to cheer when I knock you out and prove that decision was not a mistake. I AM better than you Vanessa Hudgens and you better start accepting it.”

That is just too much for Vanessa. She jumps up from her seat, grabs a pitcher of water and throws it onto Lucy! Lucy is drenched and stands there in a shock as Vanessa goes for her bobbed hair. However Vanessa steps in a puddle of water and her feet suddenly go out from under her! She lands hard on her butt. Lucy quickly grabs her own pitcher of water and pours it over Vanessa’s head. Vanessa’ s turn to be stunned, but then she lets out a shriek and goes for Lucy’s legs. Nice tackle brings Lucy crashing to the stage. They roll around, locked up in mutual bear hugs until pried apart by FCBA Security.

“I’ll get you for this!” Lucy screams as she is dragged away

“Not if I get you first!” Vanessa screams as she is dragged away.

The ill-will from this encounter remains intact right up to the actual fight. Lucy coming to the ring in an olive green bikini with dark green gloves and small boots. Vanessa in a menacing black bikini with blood red trim, dark red gloves and boots with black laces. Lucy’s bobbed hair wetted down but loose. Vanessa has hers in a ponytail with a dark red ribbon on top. Two glaring at each other all during ring instructions and trying to edge forward against each other. Referee has his hands full keeping order until they are finally in their corners. The bell rings…


During R1: Lucy with great jump, takes mid ring with authority, starts wheeling left around a stiff jab, Hale reaching it in, bending as she sticks, stepping around - moving the probe around on Hudgens, body and head. Vanessa tentative, gauging Lucy’s speed, stepping out to regroup. Down the stretch, Hale with a flurry gets Angie stepping back - Lucy able to bend in a hard right off Nessa’s mouth to get her stammering at the ropes, Lucy following up with hooks: crisp, biting delivery to the ribs and belly - Hale nice and tight, turning her torso to the right to snap those shots in.

R2: Hudgens joins the jabfest - spanking shots delivered midring - Lucy working her own left double-time, spotting up on Hudgens’s taut midriff, exotic face. Midway through, girls get to trading whippy hooks - back and forth lasts a few punches until HUDGENS' LEGS GIVE A SHIMMY! Nessa backpedaling with a stunned scowl - she covers up stiff at the ropes as Hale helps herself, Lucy letting her hands go in blistering bursts - tattooing up and down Hudgens’s slender torso, beating the flanks and body. Hale in command, taking a half step back to reset - looking her prey, then getting back in, Lucy wants jug - takes it with hup-hup-hupping rhythm of short, straight punches to pancake Hudgens’s puppies - neatly weaving back from the brunette’s enraged counters which come up empty.

R3: Hudgens shaking off the punishment, again contesting control of midring - spirited boxing as he girls wheel and pivot, bend at the waist, hook off the jab in a series of heated exchanges. Both keeping the right hand up around the cheek when getting off with the left - showing great respect for the reflexes and counter-punching ability of the other. Even to the final minute when a determined Nessa separates herself. Hudgens bending low, coming out of the crouch wih a slinging hook in the body, buckling Hale’s legs. Hudgens able to shove up, hook hard to the midsection, shove and rake hooks across jug - Lucy open mouthed and hurting against the ropes at the bell.

R4: Hudgens again aggressive to midring - jabbing Lucy’s face back, stepping back, shifting her feet then coming at Hale southpaw. Hale also working in, out and around, both girls adept at giving ground in good order, trying to make the other pay for aggression with sneaky quick hooks or blunt straight rights off the counter. One again, close round claimed by Lucy as she mounts a spirited charge - bending low, stepping in the hook, getting her shoulder and hips behind the short shot and shaking olie through the leg. Hudgens retreating to the ropes with a concerned expression - Lucy’s determination really wearing away at Vanessa’s confidence through 4.

R5: Hudgens working southpaw jabs with the right hand, looking to edge away and nip Lucy the right hook, or bend in and drift the slinging left. Lucy moving her torso well, slipping or blunting most of Hudgens’s work, then stepping left around the jab to keep her lead foot outside of Vanessa’s. Close, chess match round - who wants it more? This time it’s Lucy, feinting the left hand, dropping a sudden straight right onto Hudgens’s face and stunning the brunette – Nessa stepping in fence post holes as Hale tears it up. Lucy stepping back as Vanessa flounders forward - helping herself to loose limbed lefts and rights against the midsection and luscious juggage until Nessa can tumble into clinch. Hudgens trembling at the bell - Lucy shoving her off with a big beaming grin.


R6: Lots of continued hatred and hurt exchanged between these two as Hudgens is stepping in to land a flush straight left, then bounding back out of range as Hale continues to press. Nessa staying disciplined - using a slow jab to set up a quick right hook high, swinging left to gut, then, spinning around Lucy’s left flank - Hale not doing much as Hudgens picks up momentum. Final minute - Lucy stepping in all big-girl – Nessa sliding back, turning over that slick right hook and LUCY’S HURT! Hale catching on the temple, suddenly weak-kneed - Hudgens lashing the wide right hook on the ear and DRILLING the straight left and HALE’S ON HER BUTT! Lucy up quickly but jazzed, thighs trembling at the bell as Hudgens gets her way.

R7: Nice recovery for Lucy - no more nonsense - paving the way with jabs, constant head movement, stepping to the side - good supple defense and angles have her back on control get position to unleash her power, which she does early and often. Nessa can't seem to catch the same lightning that she did last round as this roller coaster match continues between the two as both Nessa and Lucy are shoving and slugging until the bell – and after!! The ref forced to jump in between them together as they each tag each other with a hard shot to the jugs well after the bell.

R8: Hale up tempos on her bitter rival, catching Hudgens by surprise. Lucy throwing away the hook against Hudgens’s raised right shoulder, but fitting in straight right hands to chin up the middle - Nessa’s backing up, getting caught and those slender legs don’t like it. Midway through, Hale chops a short right hand to the mouth, reloads and chops the right in between Hudgens’s breasts to get her ropeside. Nessa dazed, staring – she is wobbly butt and Lucy is on fire! Hale letting her hands go in slashing arcs, tearing up Hudgens’s belly, then chugging north into that bulging rack. Final minute, Lucy’s still got power - she’s POURING it on as Hudgens wilts! Vanessa still fighting back, but Hale standing her ground, twisting her body to get a clipping right uppercut between Hudgens’s mitts, then the left uppercut - Lucy just carrying her fists through to her chest with these tight, vicious blows and HUDGENS IS HURT! Nessa tilting her left side into the ropes, face in her gloves - Lucy squares away and GOES at the offered ribcage with hook after POUNDING hook! Hudgens dazed, taking it from Lucy hooking and resetting, hooking and resetting – fists flying wildly towards ribs and rack and THE REF STEPS IN! TKO8 in spectacular fashion as Lucy Hale gets back to winning in a big way!

After: Lucy’s gloves quickly removed by trainer Nia Peeples so she can get over to where a blasted and still reeling Vanessa Hudgens is leaning against the ropes.

“I BEAT YOU! I BEAT YOU!” Lucy yells into Vanessa’s face. Vanessa looks at her blankly. “WAKE UP ‘NESSA! I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM BETTER THAN YOU!”

“Give it up Hale, she can’t hear you,” Lookout trainer Julie Benz says appearing with Lookout spokesperson Michelle Trachtenberg.

“Well, then I’ll just settle for a walk of shame,” Lucy announced, “She can watch it on tape when she stops feeling the power of my punching.”

“She’s in no condition for a walk of shame!” Michelle T. declares even as Lucy is pulling Vanessa off the ropes. Vanessa is standing (with Lucy’s arm around her waist), but looking around like she can’t figure out where she is or how she got there.

Lucy looks at Vanessa’s eyes: “Hello, in there? You hearing me, ‘Nessa? How about a nice walk to clear your head.”

“You get your hands off me, bytch!” Vanessa gasps.

“Now you see—Vanessa’s her old self again—come on ‘Nessie, time for me to show you off!”

Julie Benz and Michelle Trachtenberg start to protest again, but then Nia Peeples and PLP communications director Autumn Reeser move in to block them off. Big argument breaks out between the stable staffers as Lucy is busy parading Vanessa Hudgens around the ring. Crowd cheering them on at least until Julie and Michelle and Nia and Autumn start a shoving match! Lucy’s at the far end of the ring and burdened with holding up a shaky legged Vanessa.

“Darn,” Vanessa murmurs, “we’re missing the catfight.”

“Well, then help me get there,” Lucy snaps.

“Sorry, you did your job too well, I just can’t stand up!” Vanessa says with a crafty smile and suddenly goes down dragging Lucy with her!

“You big faker!” Lucy howls, but she can’t crawl out from under the “collapsed” Vanessa.

Meanwhile, the conflict has quickly turned into a top tearing that leaves the four managers fighting with their bras bared! Fans, of course, love this rarely scene sight and it is followed as Nia and Julie go down quickly followed by Autumn and Michelle. Now they are slapping away as they fight on their knees.

(Security seems to have been able to block reinforcements from Lookout or the Punchers).

Lucy finally gets out from under Vanessa who then grabs her by the ankles and trips her flat on her face. Lucy then turns around and pounces on Vanessa. They are now the third couple to be rolling around on the canvas.

FINALLY, Security gets men into the ring to separate the angry stable members. Observers call this a drawn catfight, which, of course, satisfies neither side, but leaves behind a popular series of clips that spread far and wide across social media. The FCBA Front Office professes to be shocked, but then leaks the huge number of hits the clips have gotten with the suggestion that it shows the high level of interest in FCBA activities….
