Intro:
Grudge fight time for the ACB bantamweight title, Elisha Herbert will be looking for revenge for her sister Renee, who Olympia Valance defeated to retain her title last month, they return to the scene of that fight here in Melbourne's Kooyong Stadium, will it be deju vu or revenge here tonight?

Before the bout both were interviewed separately after the fireworks that took place between the Herbert and Valance siblings, Green and Gold magazines Sarah Cummings leading the interviews as first on stage in front of the press, she sits down wearing a white dress with matching heels.

Asked on her how she is feeling going into the fight, Elisha answers "I am super ready for this fight, let's say seeing Renee get humiliated has me fired up, me and Renee have pushed each other hard over the past two months with the goal of dethroning that arrogant bimbo Olympia" fists clenched as she rests them on her legs.

Sarah then asks if she got some pointers watching the fight between Renee and Olympia on how to beat the champion, the challenger replying "well you saw Renee had Olympia on the ropes through that fight, if not for a few lucky punches you would be interviewing Renee as the champion and me being proud of my sister, Olympia won't be lucky twice I assure you" a cheek grin forming on her beautiful face.

The last question is about her and Renee, if Renee had won, would she have gotten a shot at the belt, Elisha's expression changes to an annoyed one, telling Sarah "look I am guessing you want some gossip, me and Renee have each others back, if we ever decide to fight in the ring it'll be because we both choose to, not because of someone like you too afraid to actually lace up the gloves" standing up, Elisha adds "if you ever want to spar with me and Renee, you're more then welcome to try" Sarah glaring at Elisha as the stunning model marches off the stage.

Olympia meanwhile walks onto the stage later with the title around her waist, wearing a black tanktop, black denim jeans and heels, she flexes her arms with a cheeky wink for the crowd before shaking hands with Sarah, sitting down after taking the title off to sit on her lap for all to see.

The first question is about how training went, Olympia all smiles as she replies "brilliant, as you know my stable has let me camp here the past year so I can train with Holly, spar together, run together, maybe have a few sneaky drinks, but it's been great being here and representing the ACB to the fans" tapping the belt in glee.

The subject turns to her challenger, Olympia tells Sarah "I really mean it that I think Elisha is going to be tougher then Renee, she seems to have her head screwed on more then her air head sister, though she isn't exactly Einstein is she? That doesn't mean I am not confident because I bloody well am, I've done more for this division then any other fighter, I plan on keep leading the ACB as it grows" a confident smile on her face at that thought.

Final question as Sarah points out it's only fair to ask her a similar question to Elisha, are there any plans for a Valance super fight, Olympia laughs at that, replying "I knew you'd ask that, I know there's some fans wanting us to go title against title, find out whose the better sister, honestly unless Holly turns round one day and asks me to fight her, I am more then happy being her baby sister training with her, there's no animosity between us, hell I couldn't ask for a better big sis, never say never right" winking at that last statement, before grabbing the belt as she stands up to lift it up above her head, showing off to the crowd before nodding to Sarah and leaving the stage.

Fight night, here comes the challenger Elisha with her coach Nicky Whelan and her sister Renee behind her, Elisha takes in a deep breath before she walks down the aisle, her supporters whistling and cheering her on, she is wearing a white bikini with matching gloves, hair tied into a braid as she steps through the ropes into the ring, banging her gloves together as she looks fired up, Renee yelling "this is your time!" To her sibling.

Olympia now begins her walk to the ring for her fourth defence of the belt, she has coach Hilary Swank and her sister Holly walking behind her, Hilary holding up the title belt as Holly waves the crowd to cheer even louder for her little sister, Olympia looking intense wearing a tanned bikini, black gloves, her hair also in a braid as she steps into the ring, eyes locked on her opponent as she shadow boxes.

Once the referee has the belt and is standing at the center of the ring, the fighters are waved to join them, eyes full of fury as they face off, bouncing on their toes as the crowd is screaming for their favourite, when told to touch gloves they bang their gloves into their opponent's set, jogging back to their corners, once they have nodded to the referee that they are ready to fight, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of ACB bantamweight title action.

Round 1:
Out come the fighters trading stiff single shots, Elisha looking for openings early on, maybe too keenly as she tries to find her way to the inside stepping in, getting caught with clipping shots across her face as she is a little too predictable with her movement, crowd chanting both fighters names as they feel each other out.

Elisha does manage to slip under a jab to bang in two body shots, getting a left across the top of the head, a right pushes her back to the outside as both women start to open up more, a one-two combo smacks the challenger onto her forehead, Olympia starting to press forwards as she lands her punches through the mitts of the model.

Who is looking tense, covering up more tightly as we enter the final minute of the round, Olympia starting to land some stiff hooks to the body of Elisha, late in the round Olympia gets caught across her face with a right cross as her left dips down, Elisha able to force back Olympia to the center of the ring with both fighters trading stiff shots to finish the round as the bell rings.

Both fighters turn on their heels to return to their corners with Elisha tapping her gloves together, Renee telling her to cool off as she sees she is annoyed at herself, Olympia meanwhile smiling as she talks to her corner crew, nodding as they chat away.

Round 2:
Olympia starting to double up her jab as she peppers the cheeks of her challenger, up on her toes as she moves around the ring, Elisha moving her head more as she continues to look to close the distance between them, stabbing out single punches towards the torso of the actress.

Both women starting to let their fists go more, Elisha able to step in with a left cross to the cheek of Olympia, pressing her back onto the ropes, where she starts sending in hooks, pressing her forehead into Olympia's as they trade away, Valance pulling her into a clinch to slow her down, referee needing to break them up as they insult each other.

Once apart Herbert tries to keep the pressure on Olympia, she misses though with another left hook, instead taking a counter straight onto her nose, followed by two cross punches across the cheeks of Elisha to turn her head side to side, driving back the model towards the ropes as Olympia opens up on her.

Final minute sees Elisha being driven around near the ropes, out worked by the champion as she tries to fight her way out this predicament, Olympia looking understandable more relaxed as they fight, at the bell Olympia winks over at Renee before she returns to her corner, Renee's cheeks flush red and she uses that anger to give her sibling a pep talk to go knock out that bytch as she puts it.

Round 3:
Out they come with Elisha staring daggers at Olympia, who looks the more relaxed of the pair as they trade combos, keeping Elisha at arms length again in the opening minute of the round, forcing her back towards the outside part of the round with a double jab followed by a straight into the smaller fighters face.

But as Olympia tries to pile on the pressure, she misses with another straight as Elisha slips it and lands a right hook to the body, a short left across the jaw of Olympia, allowing her to begin knocking back the champion to the middle of the ring, landing several good shots to the torso of Valance as they exchange.

Pushing back Elisha to create space, Olympia doesn't get much breathing room as Elisha lands a clean jab on her chin, the momentum switching around as Elisha is starting to land the cleaner shots, Olympia tightening her guard, allowing Herbert to outwork her as they fight around the center of the ring.

The final moments of the round sees Olympia land a jab on the nose of her opponent, reminding her who the champion is with a follow up right hook on the jaw of the challenger to turn her head as the bell rings, Elisha though should be happy as that has been her best round of the fight so far, Renee tapping her back as she yells "that's it!" As Olympia shakes her head watching that.

Round 4:
Elisha seems to have loosened up now as she moves her upper body more, stinging the chest of Olympia with jabs, swinging in rights that just miss as Olympia leans out the way, landing stiff jabs at the top of the smaller fighters head as they try to find the opening to land a power punch during the opening minute of the round.

A missed right cross allows Elisha to catch Olympia with an uppercut on her chin, driving back the actress to a neutral corner, where she lays in the heavy leather with hooks and uppercuts flying till she can be held onto, Olympia might have took her challenger lightly after the opening two round, she shouldn't be now.

As they resume after being split apart, Olympia back on the bike trying to keep the distance between them where she wants it, Elisha looking like a hunter after its prey, keeping her fists aimed at the torso of Valance to keep her aimed towards the ropes or a corner, then tries to cut off the ring as they nearly clash heads when she swings in a right hook.

Pushing apart so they can have room to work, going toe to toe in the final thirty seconds, the crowd on its feet cheering both fighters, at the bell they stare angrily at each other, then return to their corners with things now looking even on the scorecards unless there's some funny judging going on.

Round 5:
Needing to give her opponent a reminder who she is, Olympia is stepping in with her punches, both trading stiff single shots, with a right cross soon turning the head of Elisha as she gets knocked back towards the ropes, Elisha moving around the outside of the ring trying to match the intensity of the champion.

Olympia definitely seems to have found another gear, slamming a double jab into the nose of Elisha, drawing blood as the model grimaces with claret flowing from her nostrils, a right cross turning her head before she clinches with Valance, who gives her a little trash talk "weak little bytch" as she presses Herbert against the ropes.

Resuming fighting around the center of the ring, Elisha is being driven back again by a jab on her nose, it's like a bulls eye for the champion, who presses her back near the ropes, this time though she misses with a right hook as Elisha ducks under it and peppers the abs of Olympia with a one-two to show she won't be put away so easily.

The round soon comes to an end with Olympia looking motivated to say the least as she returns to her stool, steely gaze on her challenger as her corner wipe her down, Elisha getting her nose worked on as Renee gives her a pep talk again, neither Herbert sister wanting a repeat of last month.

Round 6:
Not wanting to be caught flat footed like the last round, Elisha is up on her toes like the champion, they exchange stiff shots that send sweat flying, Olympia looking too preoccupied with landing a straight on the nose of Elisha, leading to her missing with one and earning a counter left square across her chin.

An uppercut soon follows as Olympia's head gets rocked back, a three punch flurry of straight punches follows as Elisha now has found another gear herself, beating back the champion to the ropes, with a bloody nose now showing on Valance, evening that score up.

As Olympia tries to fight her way off the ropes, she is missing as she is loading up too much, maybe a sign of panic from her, another uppercut rocks her as her legs wobble, referee is keeping a close eye as again she eats several rapid punches cleanly that have her legs looking a little unsteady, Olympia clinching up with Elisha to stop the assault for now.

But when they resume she is definitely hurting, getting clipped as she shells up, Holly yelling encouragement at her younger sibling, at the bell it is arguably a 10-8 round to Elisha as she struts back to her corner knowing she rocked her opponent, Olympia blinking as she sits on her stool holding the middle ropes beside her to keep herself steady, she nods she can fight on as Hilary checks her over.

Round 7:
Out comes Olympia but she isn't able to keep Elisha off her for long with her jab, an overhand right landing on her ear to send sweat flying, a left hook to the chin buckles the knees, THEN AN UPPERCUT SNAPS OLYMPIA'S HEAD BACK! DOWN CRUMBLES VALANCE!

Elisha marching to the neutral corner, bouncing on her toes looking fired up, 1...2...3...4.. But Olympia's eyes are shut, she is spread eagle on the canvas, 5...6...7.. There's a groan from Olympia and that's about all from her, 8...9...10 as she is toast! We have a new champion!

Winner and new ACB bantamweight champion Elisha Herbert KO Round 7

After:
Elisha looks almost disbelieving as she hears the bell, eyes wide as she has done what her sister Renee couldn't and won the title, she jumps for joy as her fans chant her name, Renee rushing into the ring to embrace her, Elisha saying "I love you sis, thank you so much" as tears run down both Herbert siblings faces.

All while this is going on Olympia is being checked over by the ringside doctor and her corner crew, Hilary putting her arm around the shoulder of Holly, Olympia soon splutters awake, asking what happened as she blinks to clear her head, a stretcher is brought into the ring as a precaution for how Olympia crumbled to the canvas, the crowd applaud her as she is taken out the ring.

Renee can't help herself as she yells "f**k you Olympia!" Nearly causing a brawl as Hilary has to hold back Holly from going for the youngster, a few words exchanged between Holly and Renee showing the ill feeling between the two sibling groups is far from over, with Holly being led out the ring by Hilary, reminding her that Olympia needs her right now.

With the former champion sobbing as she is led out the arena to the medical area, any dreams of uniting the ACB title with either the BBU or FCBA version of the bantamweight title has went out the window, instead she will need to rebuild after this defeat, something she isn't used to doing.

In the ring Elisha after getting her gloves taken off poses for the fans with her arms in the air, then heads to the center of the ring for the final result to be announced a loud roar ringing out when "new ACB bantamweight champion.." Rings out around the arena, Renee asking and being allowed to put the title around her sisters waist as gold and green confetti flies into the air over them.

Elisha basking in the moment as she has her hands on her hips, eyes shut as she has a beaming smile, afterwards she steps out the ring with Renee and Nicky, thanking her coach for her support before Renee jokes about when she is getting her title shot, both sisters laughing as for now Renee seems happy to support her sister.
