(Girls Friday vs Free Agent)

Intro:
Up now the welterweight division takes the stage as Hilary Rhoda and Paula Patton duke it out now, a good showcase fight for the division.

Hilary is 33 years old; she stands 5'11, holding a record of 32 wins, all coming by knockout, with 11 defeats, she is a former FCBA welterweight champion.

Paula is 44 years old; she stands 5'7, holding a record of 16 wins, 15 coming by way of knockout, with 22 defeats.

While Hilary has had a mixed year so far, Paula is still looking for that first win of this campaign, Paula will be hoping to upset the former champion to prove she belongs at the top table.

Both women were interviewed in their locker rooms, Hilary shadow boxing as her coach Rebecca Romijn is telling her to bring her best tonight, the coach sees interviewer Alicia Atout and waves her over.

"Hi Alicia, as you see Hilary is in her fight mode right now so I wouldn't get too close, she might catch you out" says Rebecca as Hilary jokingly feints that she is going to jab Alicia, who laughs as she plays along.

Hilary comes over to tell Alicia "I can't wait to get back into the ring, Paula I know can box but I fancy my chances of taking her out with not much fuss" Rebecca warning her not to get too cocky.

Alicia gets a pat on her shoulder from Hilary, with Alicia wishing her good luck before she heads off to Paula's locker room, seeing her stretching as she talks to her coach.

Turning towards Alicia, Paula says to her "I've been working hard for tonight, I need a win badly as this isn't exactly looking great for me is it" winking to try to make light of her recent form.

Asked about how she feels going into tonight, the actress answers "of course Hilary is highly ranked but as she has shown, she is far from unbeatable, so I hope people are not writing me off to much, I'd hate to see their expressions when I prove them wrong" grinning as Alicia thanks her for her time and gives her a good luck message too.

Fighting time, out comes Hilary with Rebecca, she jogs down the aisle with a smile, looking relaxed as she heads towards the ring fist bumping some members of the front row.

The actress is wearing a white sports bra with black trim, matching trunks with her surname on the waistband and a gold star next to her name, black shoes and gloves, while her brunette hair is tied up into a braid.

She steps inside the ropes with her leaning on each set of top ropes to get a feel for them, heading to her corner where she stretches to keep limber while waiting for her opponent.

Not that she has to wait long as Paula is here now on the aisle, coach following behind as she heads down to the ring, looking in a good mood herself as she waves to the fans.

The actress is wearing a black sports bra with gold trim, matching trunks and shoes, her gloves are black with gold thumbs, her hair is tied up into a fighting ponytail.

Getting inside the ring, Paula blows kisses to each side of ring to her fans, before she settles into her warm up routine as she steps into her corner.

Coming to the center of the ring, both look relaxed as they listen to the final instructions, coaches massaging arms and shoulders to keep their fighters loose.

They bump gloves with their opponent with no bother, a cheer rings out as both return to their corners, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
Coming to the center of the ring to trade straight punches, Paula getting inside early to land a double jab to the abs of the taller woman, wanting to lay a mark on her right away.

But she eats a right cross to the top of her head not long after, Hilary steps back to open up space, where she starts getting her stiff jab to land to the cheeks of Patton.

Who after the first minute is having some success up the middle, targeting the body of Rhoda with hooks, Paula trying to make this a rough fight by putting her head down into the chin of her opponent.

Hilary nudges her back though with her left forearm, landing two uppercuts that knock back Paula to the outside, soon after a jab/straight lands into the face of Paula, she is pressed towards the ropes.

Where Hilary has her mostly under control, Paula still landing some nice single punches, she is getting out landed though by Hilary, whose got her rhythm going.

At the bell both look relaxed enough, Hilary happy that her work in the final minute got her on the scoreboard, Paula on the other hand pleased she proved she can to the inside.

Round 2:
Stepping back out her corner with a little more urgency to get in close, Paula slips a straight to rifle a right to the body of her opponent, an overhand left follows into the cheek of Hilary.

The former champion finding herself being driven to the ropes, Paula landing hooks to the body as she works to wear down Hilary, who is groaning out as she tightens her guard up.

Pushing back Paula so she can get off the ropes. Hilary lands several crisp jabs into the cheeks of the smaller fighter, looking to establish the gap between them again as she bounces on her toes.

Paula is a top quality fighter though, showing it as she parries a jab so she can step in with a left hook to the body, an uppercut follows to knock back Hilary to her heels.

The older fighter showing off her strength on the inside, keeping Hilary pinned towards the ropes as the crowd cheers her on, wanting to see the upset for the popular actress.

At the bell it ends a strong round for Patton, who looks all business as she returns to her corner, getting praised by her coaches as she nods to them, knowing she has to take all the advantages away from Hilary to win this.

Round 3:
Looking to press on from the last round, Paula is getting clipped more to her face as Hilary looks to box around her with her jab, Paula keeping calm as she looks for an opening to strike into.

Finding one as she dips under a left cross to get in closer, using her left to nudge Rhoda off balance, landing overhand punches to knock Hilary's head side to side.

Till Hilary pulls Paula into a clinch, if the Girls Friday camp though this was an easy tune up for Hilary, it is becoming a pain for them as Paula even in the clinch is trying to make things uncomfortable for her by ramming her head towards the chin of the model.

Separated by the referee, Hilary has to keep on the move, try to use her reach to keep Paula to the outside, she keeps finding herself being pulled into firefights at the center of the ring though.

Paula doing a great job pressuring her opponent, till in the dying moments of the round she steps into an uppercut that snaps her head back, more pounding punches into her face come to reel her to the ropes.

Luckily you could say that the bell dings to end the round, Paula felt those shots judging by her blinking to clear her head, her coach telling her while she won the round, that last flurry she took is why she has to be careful with her attacks.

Round 4:
Both trade jabs to start as Hilary again boxes off the back foot to start, Paula wanting to close up that gap early on so she can continue her impressive inside work.

Stepping forwards with an overhand left, Paula misses as Hilary reads it coming, another flush uppercut rocks Paula! SETTING UP A LEFT/RIGHT HOOK ON THE CHIN OF PAULA TO SEND HER CRASHING DOWN TO HER BACK!

Nodding to her corner team as she heads to the neutral corner, Hilary felt she got those punches in pin point perfect, with Paula's corner putting their heads down.

1...2...3.. Paula's gumshield hangs out her mouth as she turns her head to her right, 4...5...6...7... Laying spread eagle, she has barely moved as 8...9.. Hilary raises her arm in the air, 10 because Paula is counted out!

Winner Hilary Rhoda KO Round 4

After:
Another highlight reel knockout for Hilary, she bounces on her toes as she turns to the crowd, looking ready to take on another challenger, though she certainly got pushed in the two rounds before she could end this.

Paula meanwhile has her coach kneeling beside her with smelling salts, coming back to reality, Paula blinks to clear her head as she sits up straight, the ringside doctor checking her over.

Over comes the winner when Paula is helped to her feet, the two look at ease with each other after only moments ago trying to batter each other.

Giving a nod to show she will be OK, Paula smiles as she is helped back to her corner, still clearly a little shaky after that knockout, her coaches relieved that she isn't too badly hurt.

Across the ring Hilary gets a hug from Rebecca, who is telling her she needs to come out the blocks quicker, but she certainly is getting her power together better in her coaches eyes, making her smile proudly at her.

Soon the fighters come to the center for the final announcement, Hilary getting her hand raised to a cheer from her fans, the two fighters embrace.

Before Paula leaves the ring with her coaching crew, she showed she can give a fright to those ranked above her still, though at forty four her chances of a title are slim.

Inside the ring Hilary blows kisses to the fans as she goes on a lap of honour, a chant for her breaks out as she is beaming, hoping she can continue to be a force in the division.

Though as she leaves the ring, Rebecca tells her fighter she expects her to step up another level when she is back with the best of the best in the division, Hilary nods as the hunt for a second elusive title is still on for her.
