Yvonne Strahovski versus Erica Durance
(Words and Results by: Lookout! Boxing)

BEFORE: Negotiations between Lookout! Boxing and the Lioness Club of America are ongoing, so in the meantime, Erica Durance agreed to step in as the number one contender for the lightweight belt and still, one of the best lightweight contenders in the division. Despite not being active lately, Erica hasn't lost since 2011 and that was to Amanda Righetti, in a bout to determine potentially the best pound-for-pound fighter in the league. The fighter she beat before that match to set up this bout was none other than our current champ, Yvonne Strahovski.

It's been years since they've fought, but Erica and Yvonne are actually tied in their series and it's a fact that Durance is keen to remind Yvonne of, “I've been the number one contender throughout Yvonne's reign and yet, never got a shot, despite being one of the only girls with some serious success against her! Why is that? It's because she knows that I belong at the top of the lightweight world and no blonde pretender to the throne should have those belts. I'm going take the lead over her and take back what's mine, over slumbering little Strahovski!”

Yvonne beams, adjusting the belt over her shoulder as she stands at the podium and flexes the muscles of her right hand, “Honestly, doesn't gold just seem to match when you're blonde? “, laughing as she winks, “But, seriously, Erica has been somebody I've always paid attention to and trust me, I've never forgotten that she has the lead in our series. But after tonight, I'm going to get what I want and that's to keep the gold around my waist against one of my favorite rivals. Erica is just going to have to stay right where she belongs - which is simply second place underneath me!”

Tough words from two tough lightweight fighters as they stare at one another from across the ring. Erica in a baby blue bikini and matching gloves with her hair in a fighting ponytail ; Yvonne in a golden bikini and matching gloves with her hair in a tight ponytail as well. The two of them touch gloves and separate prior to the bout, as the ref watches them both carefully.

R1: The bell rings and although Erica hasn't been in the ring in over a year, she looks eager to make up for lost time. Erica just coming forward hard, gloves swatting in from the right and left, forcing Yvonne to backpedal as she uses those long legs of hers to slide-step away from brunette aggression. But, Durance like a blonde-seeking missile as she hurtles across the ring, shooting out with the jab to locate Strahovski time and time again across her tummy and chest. Yvonne keeping her guard up high, but can't seem to get into a rhythm as she bullies Yvonne back to the ropes. Erica not demonstrating any ring rust here, looking strong and supple, just pivoting around the ring as she dips under Strahovski's outstretched gloves right and left, then swarming back in with a vengeance as she just hooks towards Yvonne's body. Pounding at blonde abs and then as Yvonne tries to straighten up, throwing a brutal right hand that snaps Yvonne's head to the side. Strahovski staggers and drops to a knee as Erica bellows, just pushing off all big girl to shove her blonde rival backwards. The two of them sharing blistering eye contact after a big Durance first.

R2: Erica coming on strong again, going to hammer with her gloves in a blue whirlwind back and forth across Strahovski's taut tummy. Pounding away at the flanks of Yvonne as she just spits out that jab in rapid-fire fashion, just going to bully Yvonne back towards the ropes with determination and blonde finds her counters disrupted by Durance's pinpoint accuracy as she batters at blonde belly repeatedly. Strahovski gasping and panting as she finds herself butt-in-ropes, just trying to leg her way to freedom from Durance's constant pressure. Durance coming in hot as Yvonne pivots to the side and as Durance dives forward, she is caught with a hard right cross from Strahovski that has Durance stumbling to the side. ON COMES YVONNE! Strahovski just snatching up at brunette breadbasket, pounding at her abs as it's Durance's turn to struggle to breathe. Yvonne not able to make clean contact with Erica's head, which remains elusive, but she just pounds harder and harder at Erica's torso, occasionally crashing her gloves into Durance's cleavage as she steadily and confidently forces Durance backwards. Durance forced to cover up along her torso as Yvonne goes on the offensive here and late in the round, Durance is shook by a huge right uppercut that sends her falling down to a knee. Yvonne just gazes down into her rival's eyes, just shoving her backwards as the ref comes in hot, pulling the two of them apart as the bell rings to close out a strong comeback effort by Yvonne in the second.

R3: The two of them just surging towards the middle of the ring as the two of them hammer away at one another in a phone booth. Pivoting around the ring on powerful thighs as they plant their legs in the middle of the ring and twist back and forth, putting as much power behind each shot. Both of them banging away ferociously, moving in a tight circle, just sending slamming shots to opposing ribcage and torso, ferocious forearms stroking across rival rack, with both of them just trying to impose will and dictate the terms of the match. It's a fast and intense exchange, with both of them upping their work rate, just ripping away at one another as Erica and Yvonne attempt to bully the other backwards across the ring. Slowly, but surely, one of them does and it's Yvonne landing slick shots, rising from her hip and twisting all of her power into the blows, just unleashing her blonde fury! Yvonne pouncing forward as Durance keeps up her defense, but Yvonne keeps on coming! Durance harassed towards the ropes, stumbling on unsteady legs as she reels in sudden retreat. Durance trying to push forward off of the ropes, swinging in her gloves towards Yvonne's cheek, but Strahovski slipping underneath and just battering in low – loud, ringing shots as mitts bounce off of tight chest, tummy, torso, ribs and even shoulders, as Erica covers up. Erica slumping forward as she sits in the ropes, trying to fight her way off of the ropes, but Yvonne just stacks her up as she just moves her assault up top to bounce her gloves off of Durance's drowsy face. Yvonne is just pushing backwards off of Durance's chest and shoulder with her left glove, then loading up with her right to keep smacking her glove over and over across Durance's cheek to the side over and over! The crowd roaring and the ref rushing forward to step in, but Yvonne steps to the side and Erica collapses to the canvas with a thud. Yvonne looks out into the crowd, beaming with excitement as the ref counts out Erica and in brutal fashion it's KO3 Yvonne Strahovski to retain the lightweight gold!

AFTER: A close match between two proud lightweight that ends with a confident Yvonne demonstrating why she is the champion for today! Erica is stirring on the canvas as Yvonne poses over her, just looking over her defeated rival as she calls for the lightweight belt to be brought in to the ring. Durance making her way up to her feet as Yvonne reaches forward, just shoving Erica backwards into the corner. Stepping forward only a few scant feet from Erica as she allows the lightweight belt to be placed around her waist as she grins, just posing with her biceps flexed and raised over her head, showing off the belt with a casual wink. Yvonne leans forward, reaching for Erica's wrists, gazing into her still-glassy eyes as she grins, “This is as close as you're going to get to the belts, Erica!” as she brings a hand down to let Erica's hands almost touch the belts, fingertips outstretched, then shoving her backwards into the corner, strutting away with her hands in the air.

Yvonne sauntering in the opposite direction after she defends her lightweight championship and smiles to the assembled press, speaking over the roaring of the crowd, “Forget Erica – I'm number one!” as she holds up her index finger into the air. Yvonne continues, eyes flashing and lips curling into a hint of a smirk, “I just took the lead from her and I'm never, ever going to give it back to her! And as for the lightweight belts, I don't plan on giving these up anytime soon either! My reign is going to continue and whoever wants to try to take these from me, is going to end up just like the rest! Just like Erica and I'm telling the rest of the division..” as Yvonne walks over to a fan in the front row holding a sign and pointing to it, as it reads: “Long Live The Queen.” with Yvonne photoshopped sitting on a throne. Yvonne beams, delivers an autograph to the sign to the excited fan and then walks away, hands held high and lightweight gold still around her waist.
