Before: “I wouldn’t exactly call Ashley Benson a ‘legend’,” says self-proclaimed “Legend Killer” Hayley Orrantia, “but beating a Pretty Little Puncher would look nice on my resume.”

“Yes, especially since you are having a lousy 2017,” an annoyed Ashley Benson interjects. “I mean you lost to Dusku and Evigan. You really think you can break that streak with me?”

“Well, if Nina Dobrev can beat you, I think I can too,” Hayley said referring to Ashley loss in the PLL vs the World Tourney.”

“Excuse me, but you are no Nina Dobrev,” snaps Ashley.

“I am enough like her to beat you,” Hayley says, clearly pleased to have gotten a rise out of the blonde veteran.

“No. Frickin’. Way!” Ashley declares with intensity. “Losing to Nina was bad enough, but no way to I let you do it.”

Hayley just smirks confidently while Ashley burns. Hayley smiling happily as she enters the ring on fight night. She’s in punching purple bikini with purple gloves and boots (white laces). Purple ribbon in her ponytailed hair. Ashley looking ready to rumble as she enters in a hot red sexy one piece with red gloves and boots (white laces) hair in double pigtails. Ashley chesting up against Hayley to wipe that smile off her face, but Hayley just keeps smiling wickedly. Referee has to be firm to keep order. Nasty glove “tap” (it’s more like a SMACK) finally gets Hayley and Ashley to their corners. The bell rings…

R1: Ashley moving rapidly to assert control of the fight by firing quick straight rights and lefts into Hayley’s face as they come within range at mid-ring. Hayley knocked on her heels, but tries to duck under the blonde’s follow-up and stuff some hooks into Ashley’s midsection. Ashley taking the body shots and then stuffs leather into Ashley’s bikini top in some early jugg action. Hayley trying to force some shots into Ashley’s chin, but Ashley’s moving her head and punches aren’t landing square. Worse, Ashley is countering to Hayley’s chin and knocking the brunette’s head back and forcing her to retreat. Ashley moving with Hayley keeping up the pressure by striking at the stomach and then those tasty juggs get some more attention. Hayley’;s not smiling as round ends, but Ashley has a most satisfied grin on her lips as the two foghters tuyrn away from each other. Round goes wide to Ashley Benson.

R2: Ashley moving quickly again at the outset, but Hayley’s showing some speed too and she’s not backing down as they clash at mid-ring. Swirling, circling battle with furious punching exchanges to heads and then the bodies. Hayley getting forced back again and again, but each time she comes right back and duels with the blonde. Ashley working hard to get her leather into Hayley, but she’s taking a lot of punching to the body (including some vengeful jugg banging from the brunette). Ashley keeps up the pressure, but Hayley not crumbling. They battle right down to the bell. Ashley takes the round, but Hayley’s counterpunching has made it close. No smile from the Puncher blonde this time. Hayley looking defiant and determined as she marches to her corner.

R3: Ashley looking a bit slower leaving her corner this round or, at least, Hayley is a lot faster leaving hers and she lands the first punch of the round, a ringing right to the side of the head. Ashley staggering back, trying to get her defensive jab going, but it’s disorganized and Hayley easily forcing her way in to strike at Ashley’s jaw with rights and lefts until Ashley gets her gloves up to cover her now battered and bruised head. Hayley has no trouble turning her attention to a pounding attack to that body that roams all over Ashley’s red swimsuited torso until she’s got Ashley doubling up. Ashley backing away finally gets some jabs going late in the round which averts a shutout but Hayley awarded the round by a wide margin.

R4: Ashley again slower than a now fired-up Hayley who is out of her corner and on the attack very quickly after the bell, Ashley is more prepared this time and counters as Hayley tries to force her way in. Hayley takes some good Benson shots to the face and chin, but she drops back, shakes it off and comes right back in. Hayley finding a good target in striking Ashley’s stomach again and again, but Ashley trying not to be doubled up so she can counter to Hayley’s chest. The action seems stalemated (though most entertaining for the fans to watch), but Hayley grinds it out, forcing Ashley back as she works Ashley’s breasts and winning a close, hard-fought round from the blonde.

R5: Ashley seems resurgent as she is the faster out of her corner this round and on the attack. Hayley driven back by Ashley’s hard hooking to the body. Hayley hunched up as she stumbles back. Now Ashley knocking the brunette’s head around and Hayley cuts away to the right, causing Ashley to lurch forward into empty space. Hayley trying to recover as Ashley comes back at her, striking to the belly to break up the blonde’s charge, and then bouncing some shots off Ashley’s noggin. Ashley seems determined to fight this out at point-blank range as she and Hayley go at it toe-to-toe with a fierce body attack. Ashley getting her feet set and pushing uo to add power to her punches. Slowly but surely she forces Hayley to give ground and ends the round with quick strikes to the face that draws blood from a cut on Hayley’s forehead. Ashley wins the round close.

R6: Ashley and Hayley are both away quickly from their corners as the bell sounds. Ashley anxious to resume dominating Hayley, but Hayley seems equally determined to put a stop to that. More action in close with breasts taking a lot of early punching, but then Hayley dropping her target to attacking the Benson belly with deep, digging hooks one right after another until she’s got Ashley stunned and gurgling. Then in a lightning shift of attack, Hayley rams one uppercut after another behind the stricken Ashley’s weakly held high guard and into the blonde’s chin. Ashley staggering back and Hayley unloads rights and lefts to the jaw that have Ashley’s head swiveling so violently that her own pigtails are slapping her across the face. Hayley uncorks a final right uppercut to the chin AND ASHLEY TOPPLES BACKWARDS. Ashley lands on her back, bounces and then stretches out, arms over her head legs spread apart. Nearly a classic starfish. Hayley briskly to the neutral corner. Ashley moving her head from side to side but can’t get herself up as the count marches on…
“EIGHT!...NINE!...TEN!...YER OUT!”

After: Big celebration in the O & E corner as flyweight rookies Olivia Holt and Demi Rose Mawby are joined by veteran Sarah Shahi in giving Hayley a memorable victory ring party. Even more memorable when Hayley crosses the ring to pull a stricken Ashley Benson on a stinging Walk of Shame.

“I punched out a Pretty Little Puncher and did ever it feel GREAT!” exults Hayley to the press. “I just LOVE boxing! I can’t wait to punch out someone else really soon!”

Sullen Ashley Benson tells reporters: “I let it slip away. I was beating her. You all saw that, but it got away from me! I hate losing—especially to someone like her!”

Exciting battle of younger flyweights seemed pretty close at times, but Hayley Orrantia scored when she had to and won the fight. Victory should give the relative newcomer needed credibility. Painful loss for Ashley Benson, but she’s been through tough stretches before and she should be able to turns things around in time. (Question is: how much time will it take?)
