Lana Parrilla versus Claire Holt (DEBUT MATCH)
(Results by Simguy)


Before: Claire Holt a confident CW ingenue for her debut – an Australian import who is looking to make a splash in the FCBA here. Known mostly for her star-making turn on the Vampire Diaries (with fellow FCBA fighters Nina Dobrev and Candice Accola), she now looks to come to the FCBA as a blonde bantam in their footsteps. Lana Parilla, however, best known for her villainous turn on Once Upon A Time is still new to the FCBA, but makes it clear that she is already relishing her role in this contest. Lana's pre-fight interviews show her as eager to shut the door on this new fighter from the CW network, while Claire declares that nothing will stop her road to success.

Lana glares at Claire, who is upbeat and positively bouncy prior to the match and Lana's attitude – best described as disdainful - makes it clear this will not be tolerated.

Lana cold in her appraisal of Claire: “I've had to work my way through Hollywood and Claire has had things handed to her. I suppose tonight I'll be handing her a beating and she'll have to get into the FCBA the hard way – through me. She's going to learn she's not ready for the big leagues and that's that!” Claire rolling in her eyes at these statements, speaking calmly in her Australian accent, “That is completely wrong. I have never had anything handed to me and I've worked my way up to this opportunity on the Vampire Diaries, just like I've prepared for this opportunity here in the FCBA. Now that I have this chance, I'm going to take it! I'm ready and tonight is gonna prove it!!”

Lana wearing a black bandeau-style bikini with white trim – hair in a ponytail; Claire clad in a yellow bikini with her hair also in a ponytail. Both fighters in matching gloves.

R1: Both fighters come out swinging aggressively as the two of them appear determined to impose control of the match early. Lana definitely showing off her jab, pumping it towards Claire but if Lana was expecting Holt to back down, she does anything but. Caught by the jab a few times, her head slamming back but Claire retaliates down low, her gloves digging in to Lana's abs to back up her opponent. The two of them punching all over the ring – Lana continuing to poke her jab towards Claire's head – forcing her to cover up. However, Claire fights back in between jabs - often swinging her gloves up – trading tidy uppercuts to Lana's jugs and tummy to back her up. It's a crowd-pleasing exchange as Lana slams in a few extra jabs to Holt's bod towards the end of the round to steal it late as both fighters competitive early.

R2: Both fighters come out – anxious to score, but finding it hard to do so. It's a similar exchange to the previous round as Lana tries to punish Claire behind that jab, slamming out that workmanlike jab towards Claire's temples and face. Claire forced to cover up again – but still coming back hard – catching Lana with some stiff hooks and swift jabs as the two of them trade blows in a phone booth. Lana sending out jab towards Claire's body – Lana trying to focus her attention this round on Claire's torso – her gloves licking out towards Claire's tummy. This, however, allows Claire to clean up with some clean hooks to Lana's jugs and face. Both fighters emerge from the phone booth – scuffed and angry – the ref separating the two of them with some difficulty. However, at the end of the round, Parrilla manages to take the round with just a few extra touches – bumping up against Claire with smoldering eye contact that has Claire's eyes narrowing in determination as she heads back to her corner.

R3: The two of them glaring at one another from across the ring as Claire knows she can't let another round slip away in this match and the two of them immediately charge towards the center of the ring. Meeting there as the two of them trade punches again – Lana pounding away with that jab as she just tries to stuff right and lefts towards Claire's ribs and torso. Claire holding her ground, however, working to get inside position and slamming in her gloves to Lana's tummy in return. It's good body work between the two of them – the two of them pushing, punching and pivoting along the ropes – always working back to the center of the ring where they send hard jabs. Lana tries to catch Claire by surprise by establishing that jab towards the head again, but instead of covering up, Claire ducks underneath it and comes back with hard uppercuts to Lana's chest and face. Claire manages to outwork Lana in this round, starting to impose her will as the extra touches make the differences and Claire Holt has just won her first round in the FCBA, sending her bouncing to her corner – smiling.

R4: Winning a round is far from winning a match – something Claire's corner is certain to remind her of during the break. Claire doesn't appear to have lost her focus as they immediately resume swinging in the middle of the ring, although Claire catches Lana closer to the ropes than she might like with a hard right hand to her tummy early on in the round. Lana coming out behind that jab, but Claire moving quickly – displaying good footwork – showing off her desire to win as she keeps bodying Lana back, stuffing in rights and lefts to Lana's tummy. Lana not about to let the match slip away, though, sending out some hooks across Claire's breasts and thumping jabs along her torso. Lana fighting off the ropes with some bitter fighting between the two as Claire continues to focus on Parrilla's ribs, tummy and torso, getting the better of the exchanges. Claire landing approximately two blows to Lana's one in the trade - as Lana seems momentarily paralyzed by the constant attention to her body. Lana remains competitive in another close round, but the body work has definitely slowed her down. Claire stuffing in one last right hand to the tummy to double over Lana before the bell and the ref signals the end of the round, awarding the round to Claire.

R5: Lana is a little slow coming out for this round – the constant attacks to her abs and body have her wincing in the corner. Claire – although scuffed – just surges from her corner to catch Lana against the ropes. Lana remains determined – eyes flaring up angrily – eager to get back into the match and resume the battering she was delivering the first few rounds. Claire, however, is not interested as she interrupts Lana's attempts to push off of the ropes and fight free with a hard right jab to Lana's tummy. Lana doubles over but still pushes forward, slamming out a right jab, pumping out that jab towards Claire's face. Holt sidesteps it, responding with a hard right cross that startles Lana as she staggers to the side. Claire pounces forward, stacking Lana up against the ropes and reaching in underneath the arms to push Parrilla backwards. Claire's eyes light up as she is pouring it on with her leather gloves feasting on Lana's tummy and tits, working over Parrilla's torso and body, and catching her clean across the chin when the opportunity presents itself. Parilla wilting along the ropes, unfocused and sleepy, and after another cross to her cheek, she slides down to the canvas with a thud, face-first about a minute in to the round! Lana is unable to get up, rolling back and forth along the canvas near the ropes - and Claire Holt is awarded the match via TKO5!!

After: Claire is exuberantly jumping around the ring following her win over Lana and beaming as she addresses the press corps afterward, ignoring Lana, who is being roused in her corner. Claire just giddy with excitement – almost breathless with exhilaration as she speaks to the press - “Told you I was ready, didn't I? There isn't a better training ground right now for the FCBA than the CW and after a match like this, I'm definitely one of the best coming out of the CW. Actually – forget that – I'm the best. Did anybody watch that match with Candice Accola against that Mumford chick? If you didn't, that's okay, if you blinked, you missed it with her collapsing so quickly, but clearly, she is no longer fit to be CW Hegemon. I'm going to rule the CW from now on, because yes – that's right – I'm CW hegemon now!! After my performance tonight and Candi's disaster of a match, we need a new Hegemon and that's me!!”

FCBA news organizations definitely picking up on this declaration, as Claire Holt declares herself CW Hegemon. This is of particular interest to other CW hegemon-hopefuls such as Leighton Meester, Annalynne McCord, Katie Cassidy, Nina Dobrev and of course, the current self-proclaimed CW Hegemon, Candice Accola, who is reportedly enraged by Claire's statements. Claire and Candice's on-set rivalry carrying over the battleground of the FCBA now.

The situation only worsens as Claire resists several chances over the next few days to retract her statements, standing by them and declaring that she will rule with “an iron fist.”, not taking any opportunity to allow such a declaration to be dismissed as the heat of the moment, but instead taking this opportunity to declare herself as the hottest import of the moment. As far as debut matches, you can't get much better than that for Claire Holt.
