Before: This one is definitely an interesting match-up between the two, Hilary Duff of Lookout! and Elodie Frege of the Latin Union. Hilary has developed into a bully in the ring and had been steadily improving prior to her pregnancy. Hilary had won her return match against Kelly Clarkson (which Clarkson had yet to forgive), but was in against a taller and slicker fighter in Frege. Elodie hasn't had the kind of consistent success yet in the FCBA that she's had in the BBU, but Frege is hoping a win tonight will help springboard her to future matches.
“I am not very well known in the FCBA yet, but I want to change that!” Frege says, “I think matches like this are going to help me make my name in this league. Hilary certainly won't forget my name once I'm done with her! I am going to definitely make sure I show this crowd what French fighters are all about!”
Duff smiles, “I'm sure Elodie is going to be memorable, but not in the way she planned. It's going to be a big match for one of us and I don't plan on letting that be her! She may be bigger, but I usually end up being a lot taller when the other girl is on the canvas! Elodie better plan on spending a lot of time there tonight!”
Both fighters a little testy with each other entering the ring. Elodie wearing a black and white bikini, hair loose around her face, with matching gloves. Hilary wearing a dark blue bikini with white trim, matching gloves and her hair in a ponytail.

R1: The first round, Duff comes out with something to prove. In her previous match back, she definitely started off slow but not this time. Duff prevents Elodie from getting off the ropes, pressuring her at ropes. The two of them battle along the ropes as Frege defends well, scoring in spots, with some well placed jabs and hooks to Hilary's tummy and ribs. But, it's Duff who keeps pushing Frege back against the ropes with some jabs to keep a frustrated Frege trapped against the ropes and unable to make any headway. The first round goes to Duff.
R2: Duff starts off very aggressive again, jabbing and delivering steady pressure with her gloves, hooking hard to try to keep Frege against the ropes once again and dominate her French foe against the ropes. However, it's Frege who is frequently slipping out from the pressure and countering effectively off the ropes. Bouncing off the ropes, she steadily outworks Duff for points as she delivers some clipping shots to the shorter Duff to take the round and the advantage away from Hilary.
R3: A similar narrative occurs again in the third round. Duff comes forward, showing the same aggressive jab and driving style to push Frege up against the ropes. Initially it works, but Frege shows off her slick ability to counter. Hilary keeps mixing up her attacks with some powerful hooks, but Elodie manages to light Hilary up with some clean-scoring counters. A hard clip underneath her chin has Duff wobbly-butt in the final minute, clearly dazed as it's Elodie who is driving Duff back into the ropes as the bell rings. Elodie takes another straight round as Duff is shaking it off in her corner.
R4: The narrative shifts in the fourth round, though not in the way Duff would like. Duff comes out, perhaps still suffering the effects of that blow at the end of the previous round. Hilary is hammered from the opening moment of the bell and Duff is clearly shook from the impact of Elodie's gloves shooting out against her face, tits, tummy and anywhere they can land. Duff is stumbling against the ropes and appears almost grateful that the round ends as Elodie puts it all together this round as if she's trying to end the fight right here. Somehow, Duff survives but Frege clearly takes the round and seemingly control of the fight with her third straight round in a row. Elodie smiling heading back to her corner and Duff's corner encouraging her, trying to get her back in it after the brutal beating of this round. This was perhaps Elodie's best round as a pro – just impressive pressure to hurt Duff badly with repeated jabs and hooks.
R5: Whatever Hilary's corner said to her in between rounds, it appears to work. Hilary comes out aggressive again and it's Elodie who is on the defensive with Hilary just slugging her gloves against Frege's torso and ribs. Doubling the French fighter over, Frege's head is knocked backwards with a clipping uppercut and the rest of her body follows as Frege falls down!! It's only the second minute as Duff bellows with excitement, standing over Elodie as the ref bullies her back. Frege up at 8, but Duff continues to be aggressive with overhand hooks to her head and repeated jabs to her torso that leave Frege dazed at the bell as Hilary comes back to take this round with a knockdown of Elodie. Duff still behind, but showing a lot of confidence in this round.
R6: Duff just storms out of her corner as Elodie can't get off of the ropes. Duff displaying constant pressure on Frege, just battering away at her face and then when she covers up there, Duff manages to just hook away at her tummy and ribs. Duff switches back and forth between the two targets as Elodie seems unable to defend or get off the ropes. Late in the round, Duff catches Elodie with a hard, forceful jab right into her face as Frege is knocked DOWN to the canvas. Frege falls down hard to the canvas, sprawled out but manages to rise before the bell. Frege displays some ability to dodge and counter occasionally to escape the round, but Duff takes two straight rounds to tie it after 6 rounds heading down the stretch. Another knockdown makes it two straight rounds that Frege has been knocked down.
R7: Frege appears to realize this and knowing she couldn't last another straight round with getting put on her back. Hilary is aggressive once again, coming forward hard with a combination of hooks and jabs to pressure her opponent against the ropes. But, Elodie displays some crafty counter work as she just continues to rip off hard blows to Duff's body to hurt Hilary. Duff is forced to backpedal and it's Frege's turn to be aggressive again. Although Duff is hurt, she still shows off some skill to keep Frege from completely dominating the round, but it's Hilary who is clearly hurting and Elodie who takes the round. Frege showing a confident mentality in coming back from the knockdowns of the previous round.
R8: Although she isn't able to knockdown Duff this round, it's a complete shutout for Frege. Hilary isn't hurt as much as Elodie would like, but she's forced to cover up for much of the round. Frege just hitting and pounding at Duff around the shoulders and head. Even when Duff is able to display some offense against the taller Frenchwoman, bullying her back against the ropes with some shots to her ribs, Frege still counters effectively to keep Hilary trying to clinch and keep Frege from taking control. Much like Hilary's shots this round though, it's not effective. Frege does appear to take control of the match with two straight rounds, erasing Hilary's earlier momentum.
R9: Almost a mirror image of the previous round. Frege doesn't get hurt, but she can't manage any offense or consistent pressure on Duff. It's a more confident Hilary who keeps wearing down Frege against the ropes, Elodie trying to clinch or cover up as Duff goes to town on her opponent's ribs or alternately her head. Elodie clinches effectively, keeping Duff from knocking her down or beating her too badly. However, that's about the only thing that's effective from Elodie as Duff bullies Frege along the ropes this round. Hilary looking to finish strong as Elodie glares at her from her corner.
R10: It's very competitive at the start of this round, the two of them coming out towards the middle of the ring to slug at one another. However, it's Hilary who is hitting harder or just driving her gloves into Frege's body, forcing her taller opponent to double over. This allows Hilary to force Frege against the ropes once again, imposing her will where she did the last round. Hilary has found her greatest success against the ropes, displaying constant pressure with her hooks that just keep thudding against a slightly breathless Elodie as she rips at her tummy. Elodie tries to counter, but Hilary isn't having it this round. Just continuing to pound at Frege's body as the round ends, with Frege covering up against Duff's fierce assault. Frege largely unhurt and survives the round, but a dominant display by Duff in the final round gives her not only the round, but the match via decision. Hilary Duff wins UD10!

AFTER: It's a very interesting match between the two, with Frege able to use her height and ability to counter with great success, but Hilary's punching power and aggressive determination give her the knockdowns, making the difference in a match in which each fighter took five rounds. A very close fight, but Duff takes it.
Duff smiling after the fight, talking to reporters: “Elodie is good, but tonight, I was definitely better. Anybody who says French girls can't fight haven't taken on Elodie. But, I did tell you that I'd stand taller than when I knocked her down and I did, didn't I?”, holding up two fingers in a peace sign that is coincidentally (or not so much) two fingers, beaming. Hilary walks out of the arena, donning a “Duff is Tuff” tanktop, white with golden lettering. On the back of the top is a little golden cursive message: “That's how it's done, KC”. Ouch.
