(Beever's Babes vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The first bout of round 3 of the Contender 6 tournament sees both Jourdan Dunn and Caroline Austin look for their first win in the tournament, here in Johannesburg's Ellis Park Arena.

Jourdan is 28 years old; she stands 6'1 and holds a record of 7 wins, all of those by knockout and 3 defeats.

Caroline is 27 years old; she stands 5'10 and holds a record of 2 wins, both by knockout and 2 defeat.

Both women are interviewed before the fight by Georgie Thompson on a set, sitting on a stool in front of a white wall.

Jourdan is up first on the stool, asked what she feels has been the issue so far in the tournament, making Jourdan look angry as she replies "simply I've had bad luck, something I feel be changing with this fight"

Georgie sees she better change the subject, so asks about Dunn's opinion of her opponent, making the London born model start smiling.

"Answer me a question, how the hell did Caroline get into this tournament? She is the punchbag of this tournament and I'm going to love smashing her to pieces" says Jourdan as she shows her right fist.

Finally when asked about the tournament, can she make a big run to the end, Jourdan quickly answers "of course I will! Nobody I have left to face worries me, I'm the big spoiler in this tournament, I am going to make the others cry as I remind people like you who I am in that ring"

Next up is Caroline; who even though she has been in terrible form looks in a good mood, shaking hands with Georgie before she sits down.

When asked about her issues in the tournament, Caroline replies "I knew in all honesty that things could be tricky, I gave big Bo (Krsmanovic) in the last round a tough test, so I know I can punish this more experienced fighters if they underestimate me"

The subject changes to this fight, the Aussies mood changes to a more serious one, admitting "this is a fight I need to win, if I don't then I have to look at myself hard to see what is holding me back"

Finally on Jourdan; Caroline laughs as she says "she's one tall bytch alright, I might need a ladder to do this but I will give my all to beat her"

Fight night; out comes Jourdan with Denise Lewis behind her, Jourdan is marching down to the ring looking focused on the task ahead.

She is wearing a black sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves as she goes for the classic Mike Tyson look, her brunette hair is braided.

Stepping into the ring Jourdan heads straight to her corner, focused purely on warming up as Denise warns her that she has to make a statement tonight.

Now Caroline comes with her coach out the curtain, she looks her usual confident self as she jogs down the aisle.

She is wearing an emerald green sports bra, matching trunks with gold stripes up the sides, green gloves with gold thumbs and green shoes, her hair is in a ponytail.

Getting into the ring; Caroline blows a few kisses to the crowd as she heads over to her corner, her coach reminds her that this is must win for her.

Both fighters are brought to the center of the ring; they stare straight into each others eyes as both see the other as standing in their way of escaping the bottom spot in the table.

After the referee tells them to touch gloves, the slap of leather echo's as they slam them together, then head back over to their corners for the final instructions from their coaches, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
