Post-Fight Scene – Alexis’s Locker Room
The door closes behind Alexis as she sinks heavily onto the bench, her cornermen quietly moving around her. Her ribs are wrapped tight in ice packs, and her midsection is streaked with red welts and bruises from Gigi’s relentless body attack. Her eyes are glassy—part exhaustion, part disbelief—and a thin trickle of dried blood is crusted beneath her nose.
A medic checks her breathing while another trainer gently presses an ice pack to the side of her swollen face. Alexis winces but doesn’t look away from the floor. When the interviewer steps in, she lifts her head, her jaw set tight.
Interviewer (careful tone):Alexis, that was an absolute battle out there. You pushed Gigi harder than anyone has in a long time. How are you feeling right now?
Alexis (voice raw, shaky):I’m pissed off, honestly.(She takes a ragged breath.)I felt like I had that fight. I was hurting her early. I know everyone’s gonna say, “Oh, Gigi’s experience,” but I had her. She was folding under my body shots. And then… I let it slip.
Interviewer:A lot of people thought you were up on the cards before the knockdowns. What do you think turned the tide?
Alexis:(She rubs her temples, eyes flashing.)I started getting a little reckless. She’s smart—she was waiting for me to get greedy. Once she caught me with those liver hooks, it changed everything. But up to that point? I was in control. I know it. I could feel it in there.
Interviewer:You say you felt you were winning. Some would argue Gigi’s counters were the difference-maker late. What’s your take?
Alexis (bitter laugh):Everyone sees it differently, I guess.(Her voice cracks.)But no—I was winning. I had her breathing heavy, her guard dropping. I just… I don’t know. I didn’t finish it when I had the chance. That’s on me.
Interviewer:What was going through your mind after the third knockdown in the ninth? You still beat the count.
Alexis:(She stares at the floor, blinking rapidly.)I was telling myself, “Get up. You’re not done.” And I wasn’t—I still believed I could hurt her. But my body just…(She touches the ice on her ribs.)…it wouldn’t cooperate anymore.
Interviewer:You showed incredible heart tonight. Even Gigi said you were one of the toughest opponents she’s ever faced. Does that mean something to you?
Alexis:(A tear slides down her cheek; she wipes it away angrily.)I don’t care about that right now. It’s nice to hear, but I didn’t come here to be “tough.” I came here to win. And I let it get away from me.
Interviewer:What’s next for you after a fight like this?
Alexis:(She draws a deep breath, voice steadier.)Rest. Heal up. And when I’m ready, I want a rematch. I know what I did wrong, and next time, I’m not going to let her off the hook.
Interviewer:Thank you, Alexis. You gave everyone an unforgettable fight tonight.
Alexis:Yeah. Thanks.(Her voice softens just a little.)Tell Gigi she better hold onto that feeling, because I’m coming back for her.
Post-Fight Scene – Gigi’s Locker Room
The crowd is still roaring as Gigi Hadid, gloved hands finally unwrapped, sits on a stool with ice pressed to her bruised ribs. Her toned body glistens with sweat, dark bruises mottling her sides and belly where Alexis’s relentless hooks landed. A trainer carefully dabs the thin cut on the bridge of her nose while a member of her team massages her aching shoulders.
Despite the damage, Gigi’s blue eyes are alive with triumph. She exhales a slow, steady breath, then cracks a tired smile as the interviewer steps in, microphone in hand.
Interviewer (smiling):Gigi, congratulations on a spectacular win tonight. That was a war in there. How are you feeling?
Gigi (voice hoarse but steady):Like I just survived a car crash, to be honest.(She laughs softly, wincing as her trainer presses the ice to her ribs.)Alexis is tough as hell. She didn’t stop coming. But I knew if I stayed patient and kept digging to the body, she’d eventually break.
Interviewer:You absorbed some brutal body shots yourself—especially in the early rounds. What was going through your mind when Alexis was hammering your ribs and pressing you on the ropes?
Gigi:I’m not gonna lie, she had me hurt a few times and I'm stillfeeling those shots to the ****. Round three, when she caught me under the ribs and then went upstairs, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. But I’ve trained for this—my corner kept telling me: “Stay composed, pick your counters.” And when I started placing my hooks in the later rounds, I could see her fading.
Interviewer:You scored three knockdowns before the final KO. Was there a moment you knew you had her for good?
Gigi:Yeah. After that third knockdown in the ninth, her eyes weren’t the same. She still had heart—credit to her—but her body just couldn’t take much more. So in the tenth, I kept pressing the body, and when I landed that last hook to the liver… I knew she wasn’t getting up.
Interviewer:This was billed as one of the toughest tests of your career. Do you feel like you proved something tonight?
Gigi:(She nods firmly.)I think I proved I can go ten rounds toe-to-toe with a fighter as aggressive as Alexis and come out on top. People sometimes think I’m just a technical boxer who doesn’t want to mix it up. But tonight, I showed I can dig deep and finish a fight with grit as well as skill.
Interviewer:What’s next for you? A title shot? A rematch?
Gigi:(Smiling, gingerly stretching her bruised arms.)Tonight, I’m going to ice everything, get some sleep, and eat an enormous pizza. After that… whoever they put in front of me. If Alexis wants a rematch, I’d do it again. But maybe next time, we won’t have to kill each other in there.
Interviewer:Congratulations again, Gigi. Incredible performance.
Gigi:Thank you. And respect to Alexis—she’s one of the toughest women I’ve ever faced.
