I was gonna rip his heart out
I'm the most brutal and most vicious
and most ruthless champion there's ever been
There's no one can stop me
And I'm just ferocious, I want your heart
I want to eat your children
Ladies and gentlemen!
Welcome to Caligula's Palace in Atlantic City
for 15 rounds of the first Intergender Championship Fight
Tonight we've got Kwame the Swami
born in Ghana, a middleweight
And Hannalore from Belgium, a modelweight
Kwame is in the black trunks, Hannalore is in the black bra
And it looks like it's going to be an interesting fight
Scheduled for 15 rounds,
but I'll be surprised if it goes that far
All right, let's go to the ring
Okay, we got a right, and a left, and a quick volley
from Hannalore, and I don't know if any of those connected
I thought she'd be down already
She's going to have a tough time reaching Kwame
He's a good dancer, very interesting fight
But oh! And she goes down
We've got a foxy ring girl tonight
I'm told that this is her first fight,
but she has been a ring bearer at weddings
Coming into Round Two, I didn't think the fight would go this far
to tell you the truth
All right, the champ is coming out
This is incredible. I've never seen moves like that in a boxing ring
All right, that's the bell for Round Three
and nothing is happening
Kwame is sort of dancing around
Hannalore is just standing there with her arms at her side
She's done a costume change which has Kwame baffled
He can't figure out why she changed clothes between rounds
I guess that's what women do
Surprisingly we're going to Round Four
and this is actually turning into a prize fight
I've got to say, I've got to give her credit
She's just not backing up one bit. She's coming back strong
That's a hard right, a hard right, a flurry
That's a vicious hit
I don't know how she can take this kind of punishment
He hits her again, he hits her again
I don't know if this is going to end well
Whoa! And she goes down
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got to say that the ring girl is ringing my bell
They're taking the measure of each other, wait a second,
Hannalore stops. She's beginning to pose
And he's giving it right back to her
Oh no, I think she's taking the edge. She's had runway experience
We're seeing history in the making here tonight
We're going to have award that round to Hannalore
We're going into Round Six of the first male-female
boxing championship
And I can tell you, he is stunned
And she's winning over the crowd
Yes, the crowd is standing, they're beginning to cheer
And yes, she's taken that round
This is the seventh round in this
championship male-female match
Kwame throws a hard right and she's down
Yes, she's taken that round again
Ladies and gentlemen, both fighters look tired in Round Eight
It looks like a combination of the vicious punching
and ennui have taken their toll
They're crunching now and she lands a hard right
She's back on his back, she hits him in the neck
Hits him in the kidneys. This is completely illegal
but it looks good
Oh, my god! What a vicious hit to Hannalore
And I think the ring girl has lost the card for Round Nine
but this is Round Nine
They're facing each other down
Yes, he's down, he's stunned
Ladies and gentlemen, this historic fight is over
And the woman has emerged the victor
Maybe it wasn't a fight, maybe it was a divorce
It's not a victory for women as much as for all of humankind
