A/N: Hello readers and fellow WFPW fans alike! This is going to be the first night of Fight Night in Vegas to debut WFPW Boxing, a sibling promotion to the main wrestling promotion where upcoming fighters in boxing and main wrestlers fight it out in the ring in shoot style competition. Nothing too major for this first live televised event and it won't impact any storylines in WFPW so it's only for supremacy right now. I do plan on having a world championship introduced down the line if this gets enough traction, but for now, we stay within the lanes to test this stuff out. I could explain how I will write boxing matches, but showing you would be better since this is new for me as well. Nobody really writes boxing feds as it is. Anyway, I won't talk the whole page here so prepare your gloves and get set for some major fists to fly in WFPW Boxing's first event. Enjoy!
WFPW BOXING PRESENTS: FIGHT NIGHT IN VEGAS NIGHT 1
Venue: Caesar's Palace-Outside Courtyard
Date: April 20th, 2023
State/City: Paradise, Nevada
(The logo of WFPW Boxing appeared on the screen as it is shown as a black upside down triangle with "WFPW BOXING" in bold white letters in the middle along with red and blue boxing gloves knocking into each other. The main color of the triangle has a navy blue and red trim as the logo shifts to the side to show a bright sunny sky and the main arena for the night. 1,275 boxing fans are in attendance near the guardrails along with most in the higher bleachers brought out into the courtyard. The main entrance stage is an open space covered by a black curtain that the boxers will enter through with their crew and coach following them. There is a left turn in the entrance way from the boxer's perspective and they keep going straight until they come to the ring. Guardrails separate the fans from the fighters and the ring itself is 24 feet with a teal blue canvas with the logo right in the middle. It had four pairs of four white ropes and a red corner, a blue corner, and two white neutral corners. The red and blue corners had WFPW spelled in bold white letters while the white corners had it spelt in black lettering. Seated outside were the announcers' table and the three judges sitting in three black steel chairs. Metal scaffolding held spotlights just above the ring and they were moving in all directions. Blue mats were set up outside for safety reasons.)
WFPW Boxing Commentators
Russ Markley ( foureyeswonder) and John Foster ( BoxingWithFoster)
"This is very monumental as we are here live tonight on a warm Thursday night for some brutal boxing. Live in Vegas and I'm Russ Markley along with my new broadcast partner, John Foster, a boxing commentator for the last 5 years since he was 22. What do you think we can expect in that ring tonight, John?" Russ asked as the cameras moved over to the announcers table as both commentators wore black tuxedos and had microphone stands along with headsets.
"It's definitely nothing new for me, but as this is the start of a new chapter besides the wrestling aspect of WFPW, expect some challenging display of might in that ring as we get set to see fists flying and there could be a tooth or two knocked out tonight," John replied as he is shown to have short brunette hair and glasses.
"Caesar's Palace is no stranger to hosting boxing events so the promoter, Gene Phillips, had an easy in to get this first event booked up. The scaffolding hold the bright lights down on the ring and the fans are here in attendance as well as up from their hotel bedrooms. We have a stacked card tonight as we see the main event put pro boxer Jacqueline Hoffman against a strong contender and champion in Astrid Ostberg. Third-generation wrestler in her family taking after her grandfather, uncle, and father, but she is the first of them to step foot in a boxing ring tonight," Russ explained.
(The screen started showing a grey metallic background as Jacqueline is shown to be a bit wider in weight having curly brown hair wearing a black Under Armor tank top holding her fists up at Astrid, who mimics her wearing a red sports hoodie. The tagline "THE MAIN EVENT" along with their names just on top of the tagline were written in bold white.)
"I've called some of Jacqueline's matches and she hits pretty hard when she wants to get an easy victory, but I know Astrid likes to grapple and maybe she can use some of that strength to push back on Hoffman," John suggested.
"Well, we are set to hear from the promoter himself later on, but right now, we have our first match on deck. "Truck Driver" Corey Allison making his professional boxing debut against a former MMA trainee that switched over to boxing. Josh Stiffen was 1-3 in his MMA career before he switched over to give boxing a try so he shouldn't be an easy customer for Corey," Russ explained.
"But I wouldn't say he isn't in the same shed as Josh. Josh likes to try going hard from the get go, but Corey has always been one to meet those types half way even in his hardcore matches," John added.
(The three judges are currently sitting ringside as they are shown to be WFPW owner and commissioner Hank Strongbow Williams (Native American, long grey hair tied in a ponytail, navy blue suit, yellow tie, white dress shirt, and black dress shoes), Cynara Morgan (short blonde hair, black dress, long black gloves and black dress shoes), and Allie Lee (long blonde hair with pink highlights, grey dress shirt, neon pink tie, black suspenders, black skirt, long grey sock and long pink sock with grey stripes, and red boots while she holds a pink and white bear for her mascot).)
Boxing Judges

"And here we have our judges for the evening as they will be scoring the fights throughout the night. We have WFPW owner Hank Strongbow Williams, retired apartment wrestler Cynara Morgan, and streamer Allie Lee, who has signed a partnership deal with WFPW to promote events and appear at shows," Russ explained.
"Let's take it to the ring as our featured announcer, Larry Stance, will make introductions," John added.
(A male announcer got some white cue cards from a ring attendant before heading up the steps going inside the ring. A gorgeous redhead in a pink frilly bikini and white high heels followed him inside as her ring cards were placed in the blue corner. She smiled and waved to the audience as the announcer has orange curly hair wearing a fine white suit and black tie with a red dress shirt buttoned up underneath. He also wore white dress shoes as he was handed a microphone ready to speak.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Fight Night in Vegas!" Larry announced to a huge pop from the crowd. "The following bout is scheduled for 4 2-minute rounds and can be won by knockout, T.K.O., or judges' decision. Your present ring girl for the match is Ms. Amber Stevens. The three knockdown rule is in effect and fighters can be saved by the bell in all rounds except the last one. The referee for this match is Tyrone Regis."
(Amber waved flirtatiously to the crowd and Tyrone nodded his head wearing a plaid blue shirt, black bow tie, white gloves, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.)
("Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer" by Billy Currington)
(The crowd would turn their heads towards the entrance as a staff of three cornermen came out along with the main coach and the fighter would be last. He sported short blonde hair, taped fists, a black muscle shirt that had "STIFFEN SUPPORTED" in white lettering on the front and two white bulgy shoulders and arms on the back, black boxing trunks with green flames on the bottom, and black combat boots. He punched the air moving forward as one of his crew members carried black boxing gloves for him.)

Josh Stiffen ( StiffenSupported)
"Here comes Josh Stiffen. He signed with the UFC last year in October and has had four MMA matches, but has only won one match before he left. He lost three matches via submission and won one via knockout so he has some progress to boast about," Russ commented.
"We had word that Stiffen had signed a two year deal with WFPW under their boxing division and this is his official debut in the sport. He's pretty fast as we saw him trade blows and deliver them back hard in dominant fashion. Although, his holds won't be any useful here tonight," John added.
(Josh turned the corner trading fist bumps with crowd members as his coach spread some advice to his ears and he nodded double fist bumping him. Josh came near the ring as he came up the steps waving out to the crowd and he came inside. One of his cornermen put in the stool for him to sit down as Josh parked himself in the red corner getting some talk from his coach.)
("Guns for Hire" by AC/DC)
(The familiar guitar tune sounded a resounding cheer from the audience as more cornermen came out and the coach followed with Corey Allison coming out in a sleeveless black AC/DC shirt, black trunks, and white boots with red laces. The truck driver wore red boxing gloves raising his arms to the crowd getting some pats on his back.)

Corey Allison ( WildRoad)
"And here comes one of the first active wrestlers competing tonight. Corey is known for his brutal shots and he loves using weapons just as much. Only one of those tactics is legal tonight, but Josh ain't dealing with a normal meathead," Russ expressed.
"The thing I've learned about Corey is that he's not afraid to take some licks and his body structure does allow some durability. I do have to question if his stamina can be kept up should Josh get his punches in," John added.
(Corey talked with some of his fans and came to the ringside area as a small "Tale of the Tape" graphic popped up on the screen for viewers at home to see detailing the fighters and their stats.)
Josh Stiffen
Age:19
Height:5'7
Weight:170 lbs.
Dominant Stance:Orthodox
Hometown:Chicago, Illinois

"Truck Driver" Corey Allison
Age:34
Height:6'2
Weight:262 lbs.
Dominant Stance:Southpaw
Hometown:Sioux Falls, South Dakota
"Our very first fight in the league of WFPW Boxing and it's sure to be a pretty open contest to speculation. Josh is smaller and faster, but Corey has muscle and ruthless strikes with a brawler's mentality. This is a bit up in the air," Russ stated.
"Maybe an edge to Corey just on stats alone, but Josh has an opening to an advantage as Corey is a little overweight and that can slow him down majorly," John added.
(Corey gets in the ring on the other side as he has a stool set out for him and his coach starts talking to him about strategy as Corey stares down Josh from the blue corner. Josh gets the gloves wrapped on his hands and gets a quick swig of water before introductions. Larry comes to the middle once again as he holds out his cue cards and the microphone.)
"In the red corner, standing 5'7, weighing 170 lbs., hailing from Chicago, Illinois, former UFC fighter, Josh Stiffen!" Larry announced as Josh hopped in place beating his chest. "And his opponent in the blue corner, standing 6'2, weighing in tonight at 262 lbs., hailing from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this is "Truck Driver" Corey Allison!"
(Larry would then go outside the ropes as Amber saw her cue to raise the first card for the first round strutting around the ring as wolf whistles were directed at her. She blew the camera a kiss before exiting down the steps as the fighters got set up. Josh got his shirt off and Corey would have his mouth piece put in as both fighters approached the middle. Tyrone raised his gloved hands to keep them separate as he explained the rules.)
"I want a clean fight out of you two. Acceptable punches are to the head, jaw, and body only. Any other punches may result in either point deduction or disqualification. No below the belt hits which is an automatic DQ. No holding for more than five seconds. When a fighter is knocked down, the standing fighter must go to a neutral corner. A knockdown is ten seconds and three knockdowns is a total knockout. If no fighter is knocked out at the end of four rounds, the scoring from the judges decides the winner. Lastly, touch gloves and come out at the bell. Break!" Tyrone explained.
Both men touched gloves and nodded to each other as Tyrone signaled for the bell of the first round and the timer started counting down. Josh and Corey came out as they started a small circling motion with Josh throwing out some test jabs while Corey easily blocked them lowering his gloves to his bare chest. Josh kept scooting in and out trying to goad Corey into punching as Corey tried for a left jab at the cheek, but Josh ducked down right just under the jab as Josh hit a right jab to Corey's stomach as Corey backed up just a tad bit. However, during another circle, Corey went straight to trying for jabs as Josh had trouble keeping up his ducking as he got two straight to the nose putting him on his butt right up against the south ropes. Tyrone made Corey back up to a neutral corner and started the count on Josh.
"1...2...3...4..." The ref counted as Josh used the ropes getting up and scrunched his face as his nose hurt like hell still.
Tyrone allowed the fight to continue as Corey came out and circled Josh getting two quick left jabs to his ribs as Josh wasn't prepared for them. Corey came in hitting a right uppercut just under Josh's guard and straight to the chin as Josh got blasted losing his guard. He staggered back a little tripping to the canvas on his back as he turned on his side covering his head. Corey retreated to a neutral corner as Tyrone came in bending down to count Josh out on the mat.
"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!" The ref counted as he waved off the fight when Josh was still stunned by the pain to get back up.
(Corey beat his chest with his gloves and raised his arms into the air as Tyrone came over to lift the left arm pointing to Corey as Larry stood outside to make the official announcement.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, this fight is over! Your winner decided by knockout in the first round, "Truck Driver" Corey Allison!" Larry announced.
("Guns for Hire" by AC/DC)
"That round only lasted about 35-40 seconds and Corey had it cleaned up in probably record time," Russ stated.
"Corey had strength to boast and Josh got too busy trying to wave off the punches to his nose to prepare for anything else. He also tried too hard to get Corey to make a mistake and when he did, Corey instantly picked up on it and decided Josh needed an instant remedy for his tactics. Corey barely broke a sweat," John added.
(Corey was leaning over the south ropes shouting to the crowd and they cheered him on congratulating him on his fast victory as he went in-between the ropes to the outside meeting his team. Josh was helped onto his stool and he scrunched his face from the pain he was feeling and rested against the corner trying to retain some pride in himself.)
A brief instant replay is shown of Josh getting blasted in the nose and then it switched to Corey's jabs to the ribs plus the uppercut that put Josh flat on his back ending the match.
"Well, this was what is to be expected. Josh may need some serious ice for that nose if he wants to breathe in fresh air in the morning," Russ remarked.
"That's only the first of many matches on tap for tonight and we even have a pending announcement from promoter Gene Phillips set for later tonight. Right now, let's head over to interviewer Angelina Rosa, who is standing by with a future fighter that we will see in the ring before too long," John added as he stacked some white papers next to him.
(The scene transitions to into the crowd as a tall Hispanic woman would be seen as Corey's theme song was heard in the background. She wore a white glittery dress holding a WFPW Boxing microphone as she stood near a brunette male with a white cowboy hat on, blue bandana around the neck, red checkered shirt, blue tie, blue jeans, and white cowboy boots.)

Angelina Rosa ( RosaSubjects)
The Midnight Rider
Clay Jackson ( JacksonRides)
"Hola and gracias, Russ and John! I'm right here with signed fighter Clay Jackson, the self-proclaimed Midnight Rider! Clay, what did you think of what we saw in the ring?" Angelina asked.
"That right there was a nice short contest that made me pretty weary of Corey, but The Midnight Rider won't let one opponent stand in his way. I came to the boxing circuits to prove that we cowboys down south got it made and we got the brawl to finish them all," Clay replied.
"So, how did you start boxing?" Angelina asked.
"Mainly my daddy was a big fan of boxing and he got me into it. He got my brothers, Jeff and Martin, in on the action. We started taking classes in the city and we became top of our team. Before I knew it, I was competing in freelance events for several small promotions and making some big bucks along the way. I also took on some big bucks as training. Nothing wrong with a little huntin' season," Clay replied.
"Are your brothers signed here as you are?" Angelina asked.
"Darn tootin'! We are coming to bring some Southern charm to these beatings in WFPW and if being top of the totem pole told you anything, we got some big boots for our opponents to fill," Clay replied.
"Who would you want to fight as your first opponent?" Angelina asked.
"Are you off limits?" Clay asked with a joking tone.
"Well, I'm not much of a fighter, but I guess we could throw down," Angelina replied with her own joke and a cute giggle.
"Really, in all seriousness, I'm not too picky and neither are Jeff or Martin on who wants to come our way. Just make sure they know how to ride the waves of intensity," Clay replied seriously to the question.
"I'm a surfer if that counts," Angelina joked as she and Clay shared a friendly laugh before the camera zoomed in on Angelina only. "That has been Clay. He's a sweetheart. Maybe you'll see me and him fight. Back to you guys."
(The scene transitioned back to the ring as a blonde, blue-eyed swimsuit model stepped up and into the ring as Larry came back in getting his cue cards in order. Tyrone remained ringside to officiate the next match.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, this next bout is 4 2-minute rounds once more and the only ways to win are by knockout, T.K.O., or judges decision. Your ring girl for this match is Miss Regina Williams and your official is once again Tyrone Regis," Larry announced.
("Shockwave" by Marshmello)
(The starting beat pumped some people before the beat truly went off as a tanned Asian man jumped out through the curtains sporting spiked black hair as he wore a colorful rainbow jumpsuit with "LUCKY NOAH" on the back in bold white lettering. He wore yellow smiley face boxing gloves and yellow boots as he made his way down hyping the crowd up with his team and coach behind him.)

Lucky Noah ( LuckyNoah)
"This is Lucky Noah and he's been boxing for three years now mainly sticking to the Philippines where his family originated from. He's only had a handful of losses and he's all about entertaining the crowd," John explained.
"Look at this man's enthusiasm! You can definitely tell he's going to be all around the ring," Russ added.
(Lucky did some air punches before performing a cartwheel and rolling into the ring as he high-fived Regina and Tyrone with his right glove heading back to the red corner where a stool was put out for him.)
("Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benetar)
(The familiar 80s hype song popped the crowd that remembered it as the night sky began to settle in as a short blonde woman came through the curtain with her hair in pigtails tied with blue ribbons. She wore a flashy blue jacket, a pink tank top, a blue sports bra underneath, hot pink boxing gloves, blue shorts, and black boots. The blonde woman spoke words through her mouthpiece as she hyped the crowd with her team coach behind her.)

Avery Starks ( ArrowDaughter)
"Welcome to the battlefield, Avery Starks. She's an archer back where she is from in Seattle and took up a professional career in boxing with this being her fifth match. She's currently at 2-2 in regular boxing suffering two knockouts, but winning by knockout and spilt decision in her first two bouts," Russ explained.
"Then this would be a must needed win for her career and she looks just as hyped as Noah is. Let's see how well she can fare in her first mixed boxing match," John added.
(As Avery slapped some hands with her gloves, the infamous Tale of the Tape graphic came up detailing stats and telling the bare minimum story of this bout.)
Lucky Noah
Age: 25
Height: 5'8
Weight: 160 lbs.
Dominant Stance: Southpaw
Hometown: The Caribbean
vs.
Avery Starks
Age: 22
Height: 5'6
Weight: 135 lbs.
Dominant Stance: Southpaw
Hometown: Seattle, Washington
(Avery went up the steel steps and stepped into the ring as Noah hopped in place with Avery standing in her corner resting her arms on the ropes. She sat on her stool in the blue corner and punched her gloves together swallowing hard hoping for the best.)
"In the red corner, hailing from the Caribbean, standing 5'8, weighing 160 lbs., this is Lucky Noah!" Larry announced as Noah bounced up and down getting excited. "And his opponent in the blue corner, from Seattle, Washington, weighing 135 lbs., Avery Starks!"
(Avery screamed for herself raising her right fist in the air before Tyrone called both fighters out to the middle explaining the rules and his expectations before both fighters touched gloves heading back to their corners. Regina picked up her round card and strutted around the ring blowing kisses before heading outside to let the fight start.)
The referee saw both man and woman ready and commenced with the bell signaling Round 1 and both fighters came in hot trading blows and blocks. Noah ran around and got a nice left hook in Avery's gut making her back off. Avery kept close on her feet as Noah ducked two head jabs she went for. Avery kept trying to corner Noah, but he was fast to duck out of blockages to his path. Avery clinched with him as the referee separated them and she rolled her neck getting her guard up around Noah. Noah tried a few fast jabs, but Avery took the brunt of them on her guard keeping one eye closed as she backed up for room. The referee kept a watchful eye as Avery was skipping on the outside as Noah tried goading her into attacking. Most of the round had Avery going for fast jabs, but Noah got his block game under control. Avery came in going for quick jabs as Noah got rocked in the head staggering a bit. The timer reached the last ten seconds and the round ceased shortly after with the crowd cheering both fighters on. They returned to their corners and sought advice from their coaches while their team assessed them.

Allie: Noah 10-Avery 9
WINNER OF ROUND 1: Lucky Noah
"A very fast round with both of these fighters at the helm. Avery was having a hard time connecting some shots and it might cost her style points," Russ observed.
"The key to dealing with a fast fighter like Noah is trying to psyche him out and make him think you are predictable. Avery needs to tap into psychological warfare here," John added.
(Both fighters nodded along with the words of advice their coaches were giving them a Avery spit out water in her bucket before her team put her mouth guard back in.)
Round 2 would start as Noah and Avery circled each other again as Noah tried to goad her in throwing out occasional body jabs. Avery took two feeling her gut as she guarded herself and even clinched with Noah for a few seconds as the referee separated them reminding Avery to not hold for so long. Avery played the field for a few minutes before catching Noah with a right hook in his gut leaving him open for a left hook right in the stomach as Noah spit out some staggering. Avery kept within close going to corner Noah in the lower right neutral corner going for fast jabs to the face. Noah blocked the best he could as the referee once again stepped in to separate them. Avery came in and Noah ran along the ropes throwing out a nice left hook to the cheek. Avery staggered back shaking her head as the seconds wound down and Noah kept his distance occasionally ducking under jabs before the bell rang ending the second round. Avery and Noah fist bumped for respect as they headed back to their corners for rest.
Round 2 END
JUDGES SCORES:
Hank: Avery 10-Noah 9
Cynara: Avery 10-Noah 9
Allie: Noah 10-Avery 9
WINNER OF ROUND 2: Avery Starks
"A close competition so far and Avery seemed more motivated and coordinated that round. She clinched with Noah to keep him from moving around," John stated.
"That was smart as it gave her time to quickly deliver some striking blows up front. She may be able to turn this around if Noah doesn't catch on," Russ added.
(Avery felt proud of herself smiling as her team loosened up her shoulders and Noah felt his stomach trying to keep his breaths steady.)
Round 3 started as both fighters touched gloves once more for respect and started circling each other before throwing hands. Avery tried clinching early, but Noah backed out and kept hopping around as Avery followed after, but her stamina started decreasing on her. She got rocked with two right hooks before falling down on her back as a result. Noah hollered going to a neutral corner as the referee stepped in counting down at Avery. "1….2….3….4….5….6….7" The referee counted before Avery got back to her feet and blinking her eyes nodding to continue the fight. Avery got her gloves up as most of the round was spent blocking punches as Noah danced around Avery and Avery had to keep herself outside to preserve her strength. The seconds ticked down as Avery scored a jab at Noah's gut, but the bell rang before her comeback could begin.
Round 3 END
JUDGES SCORES:
Hank: Noah 10-Avery 8
Cynara: Noah-10-Avery 8
Allie: Noah 10-Avery 8
WINNER OF ROUND 3: Lucky Noah
"A very hard fall for Avery as she gassed out trying to keep up with Noah and this could be her last chance to turn it around," Russ stated.
"She has been impressive in keeping up where she can and Noah knew his speed would help tremendously in this match. If he can score a knockdown in this last round, it's over for Avery," John added.
(Avery's coach checked her eyes with a flashlight and saw her blinking to keep herself afloat and Noah felt confident lowering his head sitting down in his corner.)
Round 4 began at the bell as Noah tried being a little more closer throwing fast jabs, but Avery ducked where she could still a little exhausted. Noah scored a left jab at the ribs, but Avery surprised him with a right uppercut to the chin throwing him away. He landed on his butt as the referee stepped in to count. "1….2….3…." The referee would count as Noah got up and Avery beckoned him for more risking her stamina as more seconds ticked by. She ducked Noah's shots and got one in his gut as well as a right hook to his face knocking him down on the ground again. Avery screamed to the crowd as the referee once again surrounded Noah beginning the count. "1….2….3….4….5…6…7….8…." The referee counted as Noah got back up as the timer was about 30 seconds from closing the fight as Avery wheezed a little running low on gas as Noah suckered her stomach with two strong jabs and the bell saved her from more punishment as both fighters returned to their corners ending the fight.
Round 4 END

WINNER OF ROUND 4: Avery Starks
(Avery and Noah joined Tyrone in the middle as he grabbed both of their arms waiting for Larry to collect the scorecards to announce a full winner.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have scored the fight and the fight has exhausted all four rounds without a clear winner. With the scores tallied, we have a decision. Hank scored this fight 37-36, Cynara scored this fight 38-35, and Allie scored this fight 37-36. Your winner by spilt decision is…..Avery Starks!" Larry announced as Tyrone raised Avery's arm.
("Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar)
"What a close call for Avery! She managed to stick it out in that last round and it secured her a few points lead over Noah," Russ commented.
"Noah definitely had the dominance in this fight for the first two rounds and then struck hard in the third round. However, Avery pulled a miracle out of her pocket and came out swinging hard," John stated.
(Avery got her arm raised as she screamed in victory and went to celebrate with her team as Noah took off one glove sticking out his hand as Avery repeated the gesture showing good respect for each other.)
"Angelina Rosa here on the outside with the judges and I want to pick their brains as to why they chose their winners," Angelina interjected as she joined the three judges.
"This was a tossup for me as both fighters did amazing out there. I was all for Noah until Avery started showing her true skills. It was a feeding frenzy of punches," Hank explained.
"Noah did impress me, but Avery had a heart of a true fighter and I hold that over the ability to move fast. Nothing personal on my end, though," Cynara added.
"I liked Noah more! He was super fun and he looks really colorful!" Avery exclaimed.
An instant replay started playing on the screen as it shows multiple moments from the fight including Noah's fast feet, Avery's tumble in the third round, and Noah getting hammered in the last round.
(As Avery and Noah started to exit the ring after the second fight of the evening, it would be time for the third fight of the night. The lights would go out as singular spotlights would point around the ring and into the crowd.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the most must see beginning boxer to make her descent into the ring for the first time! She hails from the farmlands of Pennsylvania with a near skyrocket list of chores to handle, she is strong enough to lift multiple hay bales in succession, she is a three-time running Junior Baker of the Year, and she is an accomplished professional wrestler in both America and Japan. Now, she takes her spot in the battlefield of boxing. Here comes the most pink, the most dominant, and the most relentless fighter this promotion will ever see. I give you, Mina Piper!" An announcement over the PA system declared.
(The spotlights all joined in on the black curtain as a dark figure loomed pointing her right arm out and smoke was heard behind the curtain, but coughing was also heard as Mina stepped out revealing herself. She had long pink hair wearing a blue athletic exercise shirt, blue boxing trunks with "PARTY!" written in hot pink on the waistband, red sneakers, and yellow gloves as her team and coach appeared leading her down the aisle.)

Mina Piper ( FuschiaFireball)
"Well….that was special," John commented as he grabbed his bow tie.
"This is Mina Piper and she's a baker as well as a professional wrestler that usually performs in Japan, but has signed on with WFPW Boxing to become a big leaguer with the gloves put on," Russ introduced.
(Mina got over her fit as her coach spoke some advice in her ears before she shouted "LESS FLASHY, MORE SERIOUS FACE! GOT IT, COACH!" Mina made a stern expression and even growled at a camera punching it accidentally before the camera person was knocked over. Mina yelped and screamed "At least people can read the match!" Her team rushed her ringside and she headed up the steps heading inside. She put her gloves in the air and the crowd cheered her on and laughed up at her antics.)

Gil the Smother Princess ( Armagilo)
(Gil is next out wearing a bright pink hoodie hiding a black sports bra underneath and she also wore a black and dark purple-layered skirt that was poofy. Gil also wore black sneakers and had on hot pink gloves as she skipped down the aisle with her team and coach behind her.)
"This is Gil, who we have seen a little of back on the launch tour as she was present for the LAW Battle Royal in South Dakota and over the pond in England where she unleashed Superstar Gil. She's a little lacking in the muscle department, but she's seems to be pretty fast," Russ stated.
"As long as she can punch Mina down, that's what matters. Both of them are making their boxing debut so listening to their teams is key," John added.
(Gil gave some hugs to her biggest fans and she hopped up and down loosening herself up walking with her gloves guarded to her chest. The graphic of the "Tale of the Tape" is shown on the screen.)

(Gil got set up in the other corner as one of her cornermen took off her hoodie and she was fed some water getting talk from her coach. She was sweating as a wet rag was placed on her forehead and she tried hiding her nerves.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your next bout of the evening scheduled for 4 2-minute rounds! Introducing first, in the red corner, standing at 5'7, hailing from West Chester, Pennsylvania, weighing 148 lbs., Mina Piper!" Larry announced as Mina softly beat her chest with her gloves. "And her opponent, from Virginia Beach, Virginia, standing also at 5'7, weighing 131 lbs., Gil!"
(The present ring girl is an African-American woman in a green frilly bikini named Naomi Kristen and the referee for the bout is Victoria Ashlen as her long blonde hair is up in a ponytail and she wears the same referee gear as Tyrone from earlier.)
"Alright, ladies, bring it in! I want a clean fight! No low blows, no biting, no hitting illegal spots, no clinching for a long time, I will separate you both, I want both of you to touch gloves and come out at the first bell!" Victoria explained the rules.
(Mina kept her stern face on and politely touched gloves with a nervous Gil as they both backed up and the referee called for the bell after Naomi did her walk around with the ring card.)
The bell rang for Round 1 as Mina came in trying to go for a dramatic right hook as Gil yelped and ducked down. Mina pulled back a little perplexed, but shifted side to side going for multiple jabs, but Gil skirted around them to avoid them as she launched a left jab catching Mina in the stomach. Mina wheezed a bit, but tightened her abs and got back in the fight as she got a good left jab to Gil's face as Gil held her nose. The referee checked her out as Gil wiggled her nose around getting up her guard as Mina advanced trying for a few more jabs, but Gil got her blocking game started playing defensive most of the round. The referee kept tabs on both women as the timer counted down. Mina threw out jabs following Gil around the ring and she tried cornering the cheerful girl, but Gil managed to clinch with Mina as the timer ran out ending the round.

WINNER OF ROUND 1: Mina Piper
"Nothing too special out of the gate, but Gil took a good shot to her nose and that seemed to throw off her stance a little," Russ stated.
"Mina is definitely going to be more aggressive throughout the match and Gil is probably gonna stick to guarding and blocking. She'll have to eventually throw some jabs to stay in contention, but she might be able to outlast on points," John added.
(Both women returned to their stools as Gil's nose was checked out for any blood or injury by her team while Mina was fed some water that she spit back out in a bucket and her mouth was wiped. Naomi came back in strutting around the ring with her second ring card before waving bye to the crowd heading back outside.)
The referee called both fighters up as they got their gloves up before the bell rang and Gil tried a twirl move catching Mina off guard as Mina slipped down on the canvas, but the referee scolded Gil for trying an illegal move as Gil was a little shocked as she meant for it to be a setup for a cool punch. Mina wouldn't be counted out as she slipped and the referee gave Gil a verbal warning. Mina shrugged off her shock throwing blows into Gil's stomach and got her in the lower left corner punching and getting Gil to spit out as the referee separated them and gave a verbal warning to Mina over excessive punching. Gil dropped to her knees spitting out her mouth piece as the ref ordered Mina to the other neutral corner while she started the count on Gil. "1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…" The referee counted as Gil was up and running breathing in and out and she nodded to continuing the fight. Mina comes in as Gil sticks to guarding and winces as her stomach was a little bruised. The round soon ended as Mina was stalking Gil around the ring throwing occasional jabs, but Gil blocked them.

"That was a brutal round for Gil and she could've gotten the boot," Russ stated.
"That's what happens to fighters that try to play the cool person," John added.
(Gil felt her stomach as her team put some ice on it and gave her water to drink as Mina was listening to her coach wiping her mouth trying to focus for the third round.)
The referee called them both up and started Round 3 as they circled each other as Gil came in fast going for two body blows as Mina couldn't counter and she hit a left uppercut knocking Mina on her side as Mina groaned. The referee ordered Gil to a neutral corner and inspected Mina before counting "1…2…3…4…5…" as Mina rose back to her feet. Mina wanted to fight and she got back in the match as Gil headed out from the neutral corner running for a right hook, but Mina backed up a little and threw an aimless right hook catching Gil on the cheek as the cheerful girl went faceplanting on the mat. The referee stepped in and saw Gil's eyes fully closed and shook her arms for any signs of consciousness, but Gil was out cold. The referee called the match and tended to Gil as she wanted to make sure she was alright.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called for the fight to end. Gil had been knocked out without an immediate need for a count. Your winner by knockout in the third round is Mina Piper!" Larry announced.

(Mina was confused that actually worked as Victoria called for a stretcher for Gil as Mina's team ushered her out of the ring. She was worried for Gil and her team celebrated her victory as they headed up the ramp.)
An instant replay is shown of Mina's aggressiveness in the ring and hitting Gil with her aimless jab knocking her down on the canvas.
"I really hope Gil is okay. This wasn't her match at all," John stated.
"Medical responders heading for the ring and loading Gil on the stretcher. She does have a potentially hurt nose and bruised stomach so she'll need some good rest back in the locker room," Russ added.
(Angelina heads inside the main lobby of the famous hotel and see Avery sitting on a green leather chair and drinking out of a water bottle as she joins the fighter taking the red seat next to her.)
"Hello, Avery! First, I wanted to congratulate you on a fight well done and it was touch and go there for you against Noah," Angelina stated.
"Thanks! I really had to pull out the stops in that last round. I'm sore from the fight, but I did have a lot of fun and I give props to Noah. He easily could've won himself," Avery answered as she wiped her nose with a small smile.
"Your first win in WFPW Boxing and the sky is very high for you. I wonder if you have paid attention to the other fights," Angelina pondered.
"I have. I do think I might have to take on Mina. She was super strong going against Gil and I don't think it was a very fair challenge as Gil was a little nervous. Maybe I can even face Gil to open her up to the sport more," Avery suggested.
"Which might be first?" Angelina asked.
"I think I'll fight Gil. I think she needs a fair challenge and someone to help her learn the ropes better," Avery replied.
"That's a challenge I bet she might just take up. Thanks for talking with me, Avery," Angelina praised.

She is a joshi wrestler that has been in the ring since her high school days and now, it looks like she is adding boxing to her repertoire," Russ stated.
"I've heard that Japanese wrestlers practice Strong Style which takes wrestling more seriously and focuses on stiff shots which might help her punches," John added.
(Yuki fist bumped a few fans as she punched gloves together getting up the steel steps and inside the ring as her team set up her stool for her to sit down and put her gloves on the ropes.)

"Alright," Larry announced as he reentered the ring with Regina on standby with the first ring card and Victoria to officiate the match. "The following contest is set for 7 2:00 minute rounds! Introducing first, from Yokohama, Japan, standing at 5'4, weighing 118 lbs., she is the Dynamite Schoolgirl, Yuki Kazikura! And her opponent, hailing from Parts Unknown, she stands at 5'6, weighing 125 lbs., she is the Black Tornado!

(Both Yuki and Tornado received cheers as they waved to their supporters getting warmed up before Victoria calls them to the middle. Regina strutted around the ring with her card and blew a kiss to the crowd heading outside as Yuki and Tornado nodded to each other touching gloves before backing up.)
The bell rang for the first round as both women took a few seconds to size the other up as both shot out fast jabs, but Yuki became faster getting a left jab into Tornado's stomach. She shifted around, but Tornado backed up to prevent getting trapped. Yuki came in and tried for a right hook as Tornado dodged and she dodged a left hook as she tried for a right uppercut that Yuki barely missed, but it made her stumble back.

"Maybe Tornado could keep it defensive for now. She doesn't want to caught like that again," John added.
(Tornado breathed in and got her guard put back in her mouth as she was heeding her coach's words as Yuki breathed drinking some water before spitting it out as her coach inserted her guard in her mouth again.)
Regina did her walk around and soon, the bell rang for the third round between these ladies as they got up touching gloves for respect.

"I see Tornado is trying to psyche Yuki out and Yuki responded well with backing off just in case of a counter," Russ stated.
"It's useful, but it means Yuki is going to be on guard the rest of the match," John added.
(Yuki was told by her coach about her next steps and Tornado leaned in her corner nodding to her coach's briefing before Regina came around again winking to the crowd.)
The bell rang and the fighters touched gloves before getting to business as they circled each other with Yuki staying on the defensive. Tornado tried faking right as Yuki backed off and Yuki smirked shaking her head mentally telling Tornado her strategy wouldn't work this round. Yuki came closer shooting a few jabs as Tornado blocked them, but got surprised with a right hook to the stomach knocking her on her butt as the referee stepped in ordering Yuki to a neutral corner. "1…2…3…4…5…6…" The referee counted as Tornado pushed herself up and got her mouth guard back in as Yuki was allowed to leave the corner. Tornado ducked and got three good jabs at Yuki's stomach as she then backed up into the south ropes and Yuki was a little winded as her stamina was getting weaker.

"Yuki seems smarter than she lets on and her strategy is to look for her openings rather than be perturbed by counters. It might be risky as we get closer to the end of this bout, but Yuki wants to keep her head leveled," John explained.
(Both fighters get some water as they were being briefed before the next round as Regina did her strut around the ring holding the card for the fifth round swaying those hips before getting out of the ring.)

"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…" The referee counted as Yuki slowly got up and Yuki raised her flimsy guard clearly running out of gas in her tank as Tornado comes in again and has a bit of a concerned look on her face circling Yuki, but it got her knocked on her butt from a right jab to her nose.

WFPW Boxing Owner

"And here is the man of the hour. The reason it's all possible for this side promotion to exist. Gene Phillips, who has been in the boxing world for over 20 years and has done numerous things to help advance multiple smaller promotions forward. He's owned four promotions in his lifetime and even became a boxing commentator at 37 before retiring at 43. Now, Hank has partnered with him to bring another sport to life and bring a new dimension to the already growing WFPW brand. No other wrestling promotion has done this and the world of combat sports has been helped tremendously through this single partnership," Russ explained.
"I've worked with Gene myself for 6 years now and this man has a creative vision that he wants for his promotions. Whereas many promoters just want the best fighters and put on shows for the highlights, Gene wants to see a path forward. A route where young fighters can join and walk down with him to support their future careers in this industry and not get lost in the shuffle. Gene is the boss you want for that future," John added.
(Gene adjusted his blazer coming ringside as he started walking up the steps and got in the ring as he flopped down to give a big comical hug to the logo he helped bring to life as the audience laughed it up. He got on his knees and got helped up by Larry, who handed over his microphone and Gene walked around soaking in the cheers.)
"Hello, Las Vegas!" Gene shouted as the crowd cheered and held up their signs under the night sky. "It's always warms the heart to see such passionate fans come out to this great city and attend what is the most frequent home to boxing. Caesar's Palace has history with the sport and you have some of the best fighters that have stood toe-to-toe with one another. Guys like George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Wilfredo Gomez, Shane Mosley, and Gerald Cooney have fought it out at this place and I couldn't have thought of a better place for upcoming fighters to duke it out creating the birth of this promotion. And I also have to thank the fans for making this possible as well. So, thank you!"
(The crowd cheered as they were holding out their hands and clapping for Gene as he wiped his mouth walking around the ring.)
"Las Vegas is about taking risks and this is one of the best gambles I've ever made. That inspires me to go farther for this promotion. Which is why I'm here to announce that our next event takes place on Independence Day Week. July 3rd-6th will be a four-day event where we will hold the tournament to crown the inaugural WFPW Boxing World Champion. A tournament that puts eight men and eight women together in matchups where they figure out who among them gets to stand at the top of the mountain of this promotion. It's invitational so if you truly have what it takes to come forward, I highly suggest you make that decision soon. But it won't just be all tournament matches, no, no, we got to give some other fighters their spot in the sunlight," Gene explained.
(The crowd cheered at the mention of a tournament and the fact that there will be a four-day tournament the next time WFPW Boxing will be on the air.)
"I've got some matches lined up. First, we have the ever rising baker out of Japan named Takizawa Kanata coming to this promotion and she has signed on for three matches at this event. She's a professional from the land of the rising sun and she doesn't have a problem taking on any comers looking to prove their worth in this sport. On Day 2, Kanata faces Amber Skye in a six-round slug fest which leads to Day 3 where she faces Astrea in another six rounds leading to the final day where she faces Evan Stiller in another six rounds for some mixed boxing action," Gene announced.
(The crowd cheered at the mention of the baker turned boxer and owner of the Boxing Glove Café in Japan as she heads to the ring once more in July to throw some leather.)

"Tara Jaegar? What's she doing out here?" Russ asked.
"Gene said that boxing tournament for the world championship is invitational and I think she's going to secure a ticket to claim her spot," John replied.

"All this talk of a title just had me thirsty for an opportunity. Wrestling is definitely more my passion, but if there's one thing my mentor, Dana Ashford, taught me back in the Shadow Fortress, it's that a true athlete never turns down a big challenge. I'm as strong as can be and I'm even trained in boxing when I was showing the ways to my darling carrot, Molly. The Superstar is ready to rock that ring and show why I'm the greatest thing that European wrestling has to offer. It's soon to be the best that boxing has to offer when I get that title. Prissy Pants and you, Tara, better train hard, because these punches will break you before you know it," Harmonia declared as she held up her right hand for emphasis closing it in a fist.
"Whoa, I didn't think we'd get three hungry competitors already. Consider you three ladies booked for this tournament. We still have many spots still open and I can only imagine there will be others to step up. I love it!" Gene exclaimed.

Ryan sported short slick blonde hair and the same referee attire as the other two as he called both fighters to the middle as Fele smirked looking down on Chester. The rules were explained and the two touch gloves before getting in stances as the bell rang for the first round.)

Amber held up the second ring card getting wolf whistles as she giggled before stepping back out and the bell sounded starting Round 2.

"Another good round of action and Chester got a bit more into it and he could've had a knockdown on Fele, but Fele made sure to keep up the pressure. That's probably his best strategy going forward," Russ remarked.
(Fele hangs his arms on the middle rope and gets some sweat wiped off his forehead as Chester gets his bow tie readjusted as he awaits the third round. Amber did her strut around the ring as she blew both the fighters a kiss before exiting.)
The bell rang for Round 3 and Chester came out fast scoring two quick jabs in Fele's stomach, but Fele guarded himself on the south ropes until the referee separated them. Chester backed up ducking multiple head shots, but Fele got closer to lock out gut punches and the England native got two big right jabs to his nose. Chester stumbled before Fele hit a right hook to his jaw as Chester stumbles into the lower right corner grabbing the ropes as the referee checked on him. Chester nodded he was alright and got back in the fight going for body blows as Fele blocked them. They circled for a little bit as Fele got a left jab to Chester's nose as Chester felt his nose trying to regroup as the bell sounded to end the round.

"Fele targeting that nose and Chester felt like it could bleed any minute. He's gotta get better at guarding his face," John advised.
(Both fighters get some water and spit out into some buckets heeding the words of their coaches as they are fanned from their fight.)
Amber did her thing and the bell rang for the fourth round as Chester used his footwork skating around Fele's offense before he got a nice right uppercut to Fele's chin as Fele gets knocked on his back and Chester gloats to the crowd getting instructed into a neutral corner. "1…2…3…4…5…6…7…" The referee counted as Fele got back up arguing with the referee before they resumed the fight and Chester scored three punches in total straight to the face knocking Fele back on the canvas. "1…2…3….4…5…6…7…8…9…10!" The referee counted out Fele as the rapper was lights out in the head and the bell rang to end the fight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this fight by knockout in the fourth round is Chester Francis Hope!" Larry announced.

An instant replay shows highlights of the fight and it ends with Chester managing to get three straight punches right into the face of Fele knocking him on his side as his eyes close for the knockout victory.
"This was an interesting bout as Chester was in a bit of trouble, but he turned on the engine and got moving fast against Fele," Russ stated.
"Sometimes, slugging it out is going to be the better decision than just laying in wait," John added.
"Coming up next, we finally get to our main event of the night as Astrid Ostberg has her first professional fight in the sport of boxing and it's against a seasoned veteran in the woman known as Jacqueline Hoffman. Jacqueline is a tank of a woman and she is going to not pull any punches with Astrid. Astrid is set to get the full experience tonight," Russ explained.
"We also like a chance to thank our sponsors for this event. Of course, Caesar's Palace itself, but there is also Little Caesar's Pizza, Pizza, Pizza!, StateFarm Insurance, like a good neighbor, StateFarm is there, and finally, Dollar Shave Club, shave time, shave money," John read off his notes.
(A spilt screen shows both women ready to go as they leave their hotel rooms with Astrid wearing a royal red hoodie with a blue t-shirt saying "FIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES" on it underneath, red gym shorts, and white sneakers with red boxing gloves on her hands. Jacqueline is wearing a black track jacket with a white sports bra underneath, black boxing trunks with "HOFFMAN" written on the waistband in gold writing, and is also wearing red boxing gloves. Both women are heading for the lobby where the main event is set to begin. Larry and Naomi get in the ring as Tyrone has returned to officiate the last fight of the night.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our main event of the evening for the first night! It is set for a full 12 3-minute rounds with the three knockdown rule in effect and fighters can be saved by the bell. Your present ring girl is Naomi Kristen and the referee for this fight is Tyrone Regis," Larry announced as Naomi waved to the crowd and Tyrone just smiled.
("Livin' On A Prayer" by Bob Jovi)
(The crowd cheered as they started bobbing their heads to the music as Jacqueline started heading out as her team and her coach joined her. The chubby girl jogged in place and punched her gloves together ready for this fight being led down the aisle.)
Record 0-0-0
Jacquelin Hoffman ( TankHoffman)
"Calling Jacqueline's fights has been an interesting experience as she relies heavily on power punches to get her opponents down and she tries to rely on keeping her stamina in check. That tends to be her weakness especially if her opponents bring their all against her," John stated.
"So, she'll probably stay on defense which might cost her in the points, but it might do her good to let her opponents tire themselves out," Russ added.
(Jacqueline talks to some fans and hypes them up coming ringside as she walks up the steps before her team escort her inside. They bring out a stool for her to sit down and she settles in as her coach massages her shoulders as the music dies down waiting for the rookie.)
("Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner)
(The crowd went ecstatic as they were hollering at the camera and clapping it up as Astrid stepped out smiling bright with the hood over her head. Her team escorted her down the aisle as her coach carried a bucket and sports bottle in his hands as Astrid raised her fists and flexed her muscles.)
Record 0-0-0
Astrid Ostberg ( RealAstrid_LAW)
"The former heavyweight champion over in Japan and she has many other accolades ever since lacing up her boots for wrestling," Russ stated.
"I do have to ask the question looking at the elephant in the room about how her strength will match up in boxing. She's not going to have an easy time against Jacqueline," John added.

(Astrid hopped in place waving politely at Jacqueline as she stepped up the stairs and got in the ring with the spotlights rotating around the arena. She flexes once more before being led to her corner and taking her hoodie off as her coach started doing some last minute advising.)
"Alright, ladies, this is the big match. In the red corner, hailing from Miami, Florida, standing 5'11, weighing 204 lbs., this is Jacqueline Hoffman!" Larry exclaimed as Jacqueline raised her left fist and Allie shouted out a cheer for her fellow native. "And her opponent, making her professional boxing debut, standing 6'1, weighing 188 lbs., hailing from Stavanger, Norway, Astrid Ostberg!"
(Astrid answered with a battle cry as the referee called both ladies up front keeping them separated and going over the rules. Astrid looked down on Jacquline with a stern look and Jacqueline returned it as they touched gloves nodding to one another.)
Both fighters backed up getting up their gloves as the referee looked back and forth starting the bell as the main event was underway. Astrid came in and Jacqueline threw out fast jabs causing Astrid to barely block them. Astrid ducked a right hook to her jaw keeping on her toes as Jacqueline kept up offensive against her newbie opponent. They circled with Jacqueline getting a left jab at Astrid's abs before Astrid tried for a left hook, but Jacqueline ducked under scoring a solid left uppercut to Astrid's chin knocking her on her butt. Jacqueline went to the lower right neutral corner as the referee started to count "1…2…3…" The referee counted as Astrid got back up easily getting her gloves up. Most of the round had Jacqueline on offensive as Astrid couldn't quite get her shots lined up ending up having to block mostly until the bell ended the round.

"Not a good start for Astrid as she suffered the first knockdown of the match and Jacqueline sitting real pretty right now," Russ stated.
(Astrid got her shoulders rubbed and she spit out water in the bucket as she breathed heavily and Jacqueline just relaxed taking in her breaths. Naomi walked around the ring before getting out and the referee called both fighters up starting the second round.)
Both fighters returned to the middle circling one another as Jacqueline used her strategy from last time cornering Astrid on the east ropes getting some jabs in, but the referee eventually pulled them both apart. Astrid then clinched with Jacqueline wrestling her around as the referee ordered another spilt as Astrid got a left jab to the stomach of her opponent, but Jacqueline didn't seem too fazed only closing her left eye in response. Astrid tried being fast on her feet ducking jabs and trying to clinch where possible as Jacqueline got her with a right hook to the jaw making Astrid stumble. The timer ticked down more as Astrid got her guard up blocking punches as they came and eventually clinched a third time in the round before the bell rang.

"Now, we see Astrid coming back with some strategy. She hasn't landed too many big punches and has been forced on defensive so hopefully that favors her to an extent," John stated.
(Astrid sat down on her stool breathing in and out as Jacqueline flexes her abs some trying to get some nice rest for the next round.)
Naomi did her walk and the bell rang to signal more punching to happen as both fighters raised to their feet. Astrid danced around Jaqueline focusing on her footwork as she evaded some jabs, but Jacqueline pummeled her stomach with four jabs with both fists. That gave her an opening for an uppercut making Astrid fall on her back as the Norsewoman groaned and Jacqueline stood in the lower right corner resting. "1…2…3….4…5…" The referee counted as Astrid got to her feet getting back in the fight as she ducked a right jab to her face. They kept trading jabs with Astrid landing some on Jacqueline's stomach as the bell rang to end the third round.

"Another bad round for Astrid and Jacqueline is showing her experience overhaul over Astrid and the Norsewoman has to start adapting faster so she doesn't lose too soon," John advised.
(Astrid's forehead was beaming with sweat as her team started loosening her muscles and wiping her mouth to clean off saliva as Jacqueline spit water in her bucket before her mouth guard plopped back in her mouth. Naomi carried the fourth ring card twerking her ass a little before heading out of the ring.)
Both fighters were back up for the fourth round as they touched gloves and started circling the other with Astrid getting more focused. She ducked multiple jabs at her face before getting a left hook into Jacqueline's ribs and a right hook to her jaw making the wider woman stumble. Astrid came in closer getting Jacqueline on the north ropes, but Jacqueline clinched her opponent before the referee separated them resuming the match. Jacqueline blocked some jabs getting a left jab to Astrid's face forcing the Norsewoman to start guarding more as they started trading defensive blows while trying to get one over on the other. Jacqueline received a big left hook to her stomach making her bend slightly, but not enough for a knockdown as the bell rang ending the fourth round.

"Almost got a knockdown on Jacqueline, but Astrid is still getting used to everything here," Russ observed.
(Astrid felt good smiling as she rested in her corner getting set for another round as Jacqueline cracked her neck hoping for better luck moving forward here.)
Naomi did her strut blowing kisses to the crowd before heading out as Astrid blushed a little bit with the bell ringing for the fifth round. Astrid got her guard up as Jacqueline started using signature power punches and she went for a clinch to wrestle around Astrid, but Astrid unleashed four right hooks into her opponent's gut. Jacqueline goes down on her right knee as Astrid actually got her first knockdown with the crowd cheering loudly! "1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…" The referee counted on Jacqueline before she rose back up and Astrid came in again from the upper left as she dodged a right jab and hit a left uppercut knocking Jacqueline into the east ropes before hitting more blows to the stomach. Astrid got another uppercut with her right hook before the referee ordered her off leaving the bell to ring ending the round. Astrid cheered for herself and went back to her corner getting more confident with boxing.

"Astrid getting more into her groove for this fight as we approach the halfway point. She's giving Jacqueline a run for her money and this might turn out to be a bit closer," Russ stated.
(Jacqueline had a bit of purple on her stomach and she wheezed drinking some water and spitting it out in the bucket. Astrid had a bit of a purple spot forming on her jawline, but she was good to go for the next few rounds.)
Naomi walked around the ring holding up the ring card and the bell rang for the next round as both women came up as Jacqueline was slightly hindered by her predicament so she went more defensive. Astrid tried going for punches at the ribcage, but Jacqueline backed up or blocked a majority of her shots as they continued throughout the round. Jacqueline dodged a left jab head shot before hitting a nice right uppercut to Astrid's chin making her spit out her mouth guard flopping on her behind as Jacqueline went to the upper left neutral corner. "1…2…3…4…5…6…" Astrid turned on her side lifting herself up as the referee gave her a grace period to gather her mouth guard slipping it back in before resuming the fight. Jacqueline cornered Astrid in the north ropes giving her abs a nice punching fest as the bell rang to end the round and Astrid endured her punishment.

"Jacqueline had a more defensive position in that round and we are officially halfway through this match in rounds. Astrid and Jacqueline showing signs of wear and tear, but they seem to keep trucking on," John observed.
(Astrid massages her stomach as it was stinging her a little bit as Jacqueline listened to her coach trying to regain some strength.)
The bell rang after Naomi did another walk around as both ladies got up ready to dish out more punches on each other. Astrid stuck her gloves up at her face blocking multiple face jabs and she tried getting around Jacqueline, but Jacqueline kept herself distanced as she zig-zagged towards Astrid getting a right jab to the belly of the Norsewoman. Astrid was on the south ropes getting pummeled a little before the referee broke things apart and Astrid came in slowly blocking three jabs at her stomach. Astrid sucked in a breath watching Jacqueline carefully making sure to block shot after shot as she couldn't get inside to hit her opponent. The timer eventually ceased the round and Astrid felt disappointed she had a lackluster performance throughout the time.

"Astrid having to play more defensive as Jacqueline refused to let her inside her guard. Very smart for the veteran here," John remarked.
(Jacqueline had regained some momentum and tried to be less involved in punching as Astrid felt her stomach hurting a little bit more as she winced when it was iced by her team.)
Naomi held up the card again before exiting the ring and smiling at the camera as the bell rang for the next round as the match was reaching into being decided by points. Astrid came in fast and clinched with Jacqueline working her way in her guard area, but the referee scolded her for holding leaving her with a verbal warning, but Astrid got a left jab to Jacqueline's gut knocking her down on one knee again. Astrid was ordered to another corner as the referee started the count on Jacqueline as the veteran had to breathe in and out. "1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10!" The referee counted and waved off the fight as Jacqueline was too hurt and exhausted to continue with how her stomach was physically abused. Astrid cheered and bellowed out her screams before holding her stomach as she hugged her coach. Larry came inside the ring as Astrid got her left arm raised in victory for her first boxing match.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by knockout in the eighth round, Astrid Ostberg!" Larry announced as Jacqueline came back to her feet wobbling.

An instant replay is shown as Astrid and Jacqueline were shown body blowing each other right up until Astrid hit the final jab that pushed Jacqueline down to her knee for the knockout decision.
"Not a total loss for Jacqueline as she held her own like I expected her to, but Astrid did exceptionally well for her first outing," John stated.
"Astrid and Jacqueline put each other through hell and I can see that they earned each other's respect through the fight as Jacqueline was actually forced on the defensive halfway through," Russ added.
"This was definitely a great way to cap off our first night here in Vegas. I'm John Foster and I had my partner, Russ Markley, here to commentate the event with me. We're here to thank all our viewers for joining us and have a great night!" John concluded the show as he took off his headset.
(Astrid was approached by Jacqueline as she audibly said "That was a great match! You freaking kill it out there. You earned my respect and I know you're going far, Astrid!" and Astrid nodded saying her thanks to Jacqueline. The fighters shared a hug before Jacqueline raised the left arm of her opponent conceding defeat to her as the crowd cheered for both of them for a great main event. The WFPW logo showed up on the screen as it then faded to pitch black.)
