(BronzedOz Boxing vs Girls Friday)

(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)

Intro:
It's time now for the ACB to get a spotlight as the bantamweight title is on the line, Renee Herbert looks to become the first champion of the new breed of Aussie fighters coming through that include her sister Elisha, champion Olympia Valance would argue she begun the new era of the ACB by beating long time champion Miranda Kerr to win the title, who will lead the ACB bantamweight division going forwards?

The build up saw both women sniping over social media, till finally they met face to face at the press event for the fight, Renee stepping on the stage in a red dress with matching heels, Olympia going for all black with her attire, the ACB bantamweight title belt on her left shoulder so the cameras can see it, neither woman smiling as they get up close, burning a hole through their opponent.

As they pose with their fists up for the cameras, the insults start as Renee hisses "ready to be f**ked up you tramp?" Which is replied to by Olympia with "don't get too cocky you s**t, your sister can't save you from me" leading to a right handed slap from Renee, which is paid in kind by Olympia.

One hand goes for the others hair, while Renee starts off what looks like a strip fight as she goes for Olympia's dress, grabbing her dress around the front, Olympia grabs her wrist but when a tear can be heard, Olympia decides to get in on the act and goes for Renee's dress, wolf whistles come from the assembled crowd.

Security finally gets on the stage to pry them apart, with both almost furious that they have a tear down their dress, Renee in the fighting mood clearly pushes out the hands of the guard to kick off her heels, reaching behind herself to unzip her dress, before dropping it to the floor to stand in just a red bra and knickers set, Olympia matching her as a let them fight chant breaks out, more security comes on though to stop any lingerie wrestling on the stage to loud boos.

After that incident Renee makes a challenge on social media, she posts "I enjoyed so much burning the bra and knickers of those English s**ts last month, how about we wager more then just the belt, how about I get your bra and knickers for my trophy cabinet, I mean you already will be needing a new job after Neighbours ends, so might as well get used to being nude on camera" whether smartly or not Olympia accepted the wager with a simple "you are on!" In reply.

Fight night here in the Kooyong Stadium in Melbourne, the stadium that Renee helped finish the clean sweep for Team Australia in, Green and Gold Magazines Sarah Cummings is at ringside working on the commentary booth, telling the audience "I am not exactly interested who will be nude by the end of tonight, all I care about is who the new face of the ACB really is" looking around as the crowd start a duelling chant, clearly both fighters are very popular.

First through the curtain is Renee with her sister Elisha and their coach Nicky Whelan, Renee walks to the ring wearing a green lace bra and knickers set to match her green gloves, hair tied into a ponytail as she tests her gloves out bumping them together, she looks focused to become a champion so young, stepping into the ring eyeing up the crowd as she takes a breath, there's a lot more pressure on her shoulders tonight then there was in the Ashes, this is all on her tonight.

Here comes the champion now, Olympia flanked by her coach Taryn Terrell on her right side holding the ACB bantamweight belt up, on her left side is big sister Holly with her ACB lightweight title on her left shoulder, they walk down the ring as a unit, Olympia in a white lace bra and knickers set to match her gloves, hair braided as she steps through the ropes, tapping her chest with her right glove as she stares across the ring at her opponent, who stares right back with an equally nasty look.

The referee gets the title from Taryn, holding it up as they bring the fighters to the middle of the ring, both camps trade insults as even the fighters siblings trade barbs in this volatile situation, no touch of gloves between the fighters, instead they return to their corners, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of ACB bantamweight title action.

Round 1:
"Ding" both step out their corners looking to land a big shot early, leading to some scruffy action as they struggle to gauge their range, hitting glove or even shoulders when they launch their rights at their opponent, the crowd chanting for both women as their sisters lead the chants.

Renee is the first to land a meaningful blow as she slips a left cross, landing a right hook to the body, she catches Olympia across her cheek with a left cross, forcing the champion to back off as Herbert presses the action, keeping Olympia under pressure now.

Forced to trade off her back foot, Olympia hasn't much room to move as the ropes close in behind her, she lands a few good clean straight punches, it's Renee landing the better shots as she is outworking Olympia in this opening round.

Which late on Olympia takes an uppercut to her chin that forces her against the ropes, covering up more tightly now as the final twenty seconds sees Renee throw piston like shots at her, while most don't land flush, they are stopping Valance fighting back, at the bell Renee steps back to her corner with her right arm in the air taking in the loud cheers of her supporters after a strong start to the fight.

Round 2:
Banging her gloves together as she comes out, Olympia is starting to use her jab more, cracking Renee to the face as she dances side to side more, giving the challenger a different look that early on is giving Herbert problems, Nicky yelling at her fighter to settle down as Renee is still trying to land power punches from her hips that are easily readable.

After a hard opening minute for her, Renee is able to slip under a straight, landing one of her own into the breadbasket of her opponent, she forces Olympia back on the ropes as she digs away to the body, Olympia clinching up wanting to stop her rhythm, the referee needing to break them up as they trade insults.

Once apart Renee is forcing the issue but Olympia is meeting her change with crisp punching off the back foot, both are slamming in shots through the others mitts, Olympia is now landing more between them as Renee misses with a looping right, getting peppered into her face by a one-two to snap her head back.

The challenger showing she won't back off so easily, in the dying moments of the round she catches Olympia with an overhand left under her right eye, a straight then knocks back the champion into a neutral corner, where Renee goes to work on the inside till the round ends, Renee staring down Olympia, who stares right back at her with an intense look, both want to win this badly as the referee gets between them to keep them apart, warning both to get back to their corners, they do as told but tap their gloves together as they do.

Round 3:
Both fighters resume around the middle of the ring, Renee starting to use her jab a little more, Nicky still not too happy though as Renee keeps getting trigger happy with her right, just missing her target as Olympia can see it coming, drilling in a few counters in reply.

The opening minute of the round goes by with Renee looking annoyed, her mood doesn't improve when a right hook misses, earning her a left across her cheek that turns her head, a right hook then knocks her back a step as Olympia shows off some of her power.

Back now near the ropes goes Olympia, who is switching her targets nicely, getting a few good stinging shots in return, Olympia is showing her experience by keeping her cool, looking for openings to pierce her fists through, keeping Renee mostly stuck near the ropes as the Valance fans are in full voice now.

Again Herbert shows her fighting prowess, I guess having a sister helps with that as she deflects a straight, landing a counter right cross to the cheek of Olympia, followed by a jab square into the mouth of her opponent, back to the center of the ring they go in the remaining moments of the round as Renee works on the inside, at the bell it's another good round for Olympia, Renee is proving a stubborn challenger to her so far.

Round 4:
After being told off by Nicky, Renee is starting to use her head more, moving her upper body along with her jab, it's a little more of a chess match in the openings moments, Olympia hoping to keep back Renee to the outside, Renee wanting to feast on the inside as they trade stiff single punches.

A mistake by Olympia now as she misses with a jab, eating an overhand right to her jaw, a left hook follows to turn her head the other way, Elisha banging the apron in support as she watches her sister back up Olympia into her corner, both women fighting hard but Olympia has to clinch as she can't match the power of the model in this position against the turnbuckles.

Pulled apart after trading insults in the clinch, Renee looks to have found her mojo again, pressing forwards to keep Olympia under pressure, slamming in more body shots again when they trade in close, Olympia landing some nice shots to the head of Herbert to send some sweat flying in reply.

The final thirty seconds sees Renee land another good uppercut, Olympia is knocked onto the ropes, where Renee looks to unload on her, Olympia holds onto her, both proud Aussies grind foreheads as the referee struggles to break them up, at the bell Renee tells her opponent "I've got you now" tapping her stomach before she turns to her corner, Olympia nodding as she listens to her coach, Holly meanwhile massaging her shoulders to keep her loose as she sees her sister getting tense after a bad round.

Round 5:
Returning to the middle of the ring to trade, Renee is being more forceful, using forearms to the chest of Olympia to force her backwards, referee warning her to keep it clean as this feels a fight to a finish for these two beautiful women, Olympia landing a few punches cuffing the back of her opponent's head, earning her a warning now.

Pushed apart so they can fight now, Olympia is soon driven onto the ropes by more piston like body shots, once on the ropes Renee starts throwing more heavy leather over the top, keeping tight to Valance to make her hard for her to get out this position, again another clinch follows as Olympia looks sick of being mauled on the inside.

Broken apart with half the round gone, Renee looks to have all the confidence off her Ashes win fuelling her, stepping after the champion as she hunts her around the ring, maybe a little naively as she swings in an overhand left that hits the shoulder of Olympia, who replies with a left uppercut to the body, as Renee steps back a right cross opens a cut above her left eyebrow.

That's causing problems for Renee, who has a trickle of blood running towards her eye, Olympia moving to the left of Renee, peppering that side of her face as gamely Renee keeps on walking forwards, Nicky urging her to hold and get out the round so they can work on the eye, soon the bell does ring with Renee wiping her eye to clear her vision, Nicky working on the cut as Elisha can't hide her worry for her sister, Olympia meanwhile looks like she has taken a weight off her shoulders now she has a bulleyes to target.

Round 6:
Out they come with Renee looking to keep on the front foot, problem is Olympia sidesteps her early on to the left, striking her right across that cut to reopen it, a follow up double jab lands square on the eye as Renee yelps out in pain.

A right hook catches Renee on the temple, she wobbles back as she looks shaky, Olympia showing her young challenger no mercy, landing two hooks that rock the head of Renee as she stumbles towards her own corner, AN UPPERCUT LANDS FLUSH TO SEND RENEE TUMBLING DOWN TO THE CANVAS IN FRONT OF HER OWN SISTER!

"You're next!" Olympia yells at Elisha outside the ring, the referee needing to nudge Olympia to the neutral corner as Elisha looks close to stepping in the ring herself if not for Nicky telling her not to, 1...2...3...4.. All the while Renee is groaning as her eyes shut, 5...6...7... She holds her jaw with her right glove, 8... Beyond that she isn't really moving, 9...10 that's the end of her title challenge tonight!

Winner and still ACB bantamweight champion Olympia Valance KO Round 6

After:
The champion retains as Olympia bellows "come on!" To the heavens, getting a stern workout tonight against someone she knows will keep getting better and better with experience, Olympia tapping her gloves together before raising them in the air as she turns to her fans.

Someone understandably not happy is Elisha, who marches into the ring and grabs Olympia's left arm to turn her around, Olympia squares up to her as Holly and Taryn rush in to separate them, knowing that Olympia might be fired up but now isn't the time for her to brawl with the fresh Elisha, who has the referee holding her back.

Meanwhile Nicky is working on Renee, checking her over as Renee blinks to try to clear her vision, once Elisha is back in their corner, Renee is helped by both onto her stool, where they can patch her up as Renee fights back tears, she pushed Olympia tonight but is just going home with a cut and a puffy left eye.

In the Girls Friday corner Taryn pats Olympia's legs after she sits on her stool, a big beaming smile on the winners face as it sinks in she is still the champion, Holly telling her sister "that's why I am so proud of you, we are the best sister duo in boxing" fist bumping Olympia as it is hard to argue right now that fact.

Once both fighters are ready they come to the center of the ring for the final result to be announced, Taryn putting the title around the waist of Olympia, as the right hand of the champion is raised, Renee shaking her head as she knows if she had settled down earlier in the fight it could be her holding the title.

Elisha and Olympia still have a few words for each other, Elisha telling her new rival "hold onto that title tight because I'll win it for us" pointing at her and Renee, Olympia firing back "I'll enjoy crushing you soon like that bytch" pointing at Renee.

Who is about to leave when a few boos ring out and the referee has to stop her, Renee's eyes going wide as it hits her, a dressing gown brought in as camera's for legal reasons have to look at Olympia celebrating as Renee has to strip to whistles from the crowd, the next we see of Renee is the dressing gown on her as she throws her bra and knickers at Olympia, who laughs as she says "too bad I can't burn these for my own ashes" Renee storming off with help from her corner crew.

While the winner struts around the inside of the ring with the undergarments in her hands, raising them up to show all the crowd her new trophies to go along with the title, tonight while ending in chaotic style has also shown the Australian fans don't have much to worry about as their next generation of talent looks in great shape.
