Atlanta is in the middle of a wild night of boxing Saturday at State Farm Arena, mixing championship fighters with some of the biggest personalities from reality television and entertainment.

Ray J and Orlando Brown helped get things started on Zeus Network, with Ray J earning a decision victory after three rounds. But the attention now shifts to another matchup that generated plenty of heat throughout the buildup.

Tesehki and Big Lex are finally stepping into the ring for their highly anticipated 'Pound for Pound Baddie Showdown.'

The tension carried through Friday's final face-off and weigh-in, where the announcer introduced the matchup as the 'main event' and a 'Maddie Championship Battle.'

Now it's time to settle it in the ring.

Tesehki vs. Big Lex Results

Big Lex defeated Tesehki by decision after three rounds.

Both fighters came out swinging in the opening round and weren't afraid to exchange. Big Lex established her jab early and used her noticeable reach advantage to keep Tesehki at range, while Tesehki answered with right hands and combinations of her own.

The fireworks continued in Round 2. Both women again came out throwing, but Big Lex controlled much of the action behind her jab and appeared to put another round in the bank.

Tesehki had one of her better moments in the third when she landed a solid jab that snapped Big Lex's head back. Big Lex responded by landing a clean one-two combination straight down the middle and turned up the pressure over the final 30 seconds, although Tesehki was able to make her miss on several attempts.

After three rounds, the decision went to Big Lex.
