Confidence personified

It’s the moment that the fans have been waiting for. After the undercard is complete, the main event is the fight that most people bought a ticket for. They want the fireworks, they want the highest level fighters and that is what they are going to get. Kayleigh Parsons vs. Yenifer Perez. The Fluke vs. La Chica Feroz.

The hometown queen

The first one to make her entrance is the hometown girl, Kayleigh Parsons, choosing to enter first rather than last.

The Clash’s classic ‘London Calling‘ announces the arrival of the golden girl in this fight, Kayleigh Parsons.

Commentator: “Dressed in gold, the Parsons makes a confident entrance as she walks to the ring. Confidence is a key part of Parsons’ game – she certainly thinks she is the best fighter in her division. She’s proved that she is near the top in terms of talent – now she needs to pick up the wins to prove it.”

The Spoiler

After the applause died down, we get the entrance of the former IBF Featherweight champion – Yenifer Perez.

Kanye West’s Amazing hits the speakers. There’s no question that Yenifer thinks that she is amazing. A winning smile and a unique outfit complete the ensemble of Yenifer, who makes her way to the ring as confidently as Kayleigh did a minute before.

Commentator: “Yenifer Perez makes her return to the ring after losing her IBF title in her last fight. This is not someone who wants to sit on her heels and recover – she wants to get back in the ring and prove that her loss was an aberration. A win over Kayleigh Parsons would do just that.”

Chatting with the ref

The ladies are called to the middle of the ring by referee Victoria James. This is probably the biggest fight that she has been in charge of, but her reputation is solid.

Victoria: “Ladies, we went over the rules in the dressing room. I expect both of you to be on your best behaviour. This is a ten round fight. I want you to follow my instructions at all times. Protect yourself at all times. Please remember you cannot be saved by the bell in any round. If you score a knockdown, I will not start the count until you are in a neutral corner. Touch gloves and go back to your corners. May the best woman win.”

The two women have a mutual agreement not to touch gloves. Victoria is smart not to force them to.

Commentator: “Well, these two aren’t even going to pretend to be friends.”

Kayleigh thinks: This girl was a champ? I’ll make short work of her.
