2. Guests: Felicity Jones versus Kate Mara
Felicity:
(33, 5’3, 0:1 FCBA, Free Agent)
Kate:
(34, 5’3, 0:2 FCBA, Free Agent)
Before: “I’m honoured to be invited to fight at VIX HQ,” Felicity begins by buttering up her host stable. “It’s not often we get a full expenses-paid opportunity to fight in the ring - not in the least against someone like Kate Mara.”
Kate smiles at the perceived compliment, the auburn-haired American still not knowing what to make of her British opponent who’s been steadily gaining popularity of her own over this side of the Atlantic with the recent release of the new Star Wars movie Rogue One.
“The same goes for Felicity,” Kate begins, “but she’s not going to find any niceties over this side of the ocean. In my opinion, she needs to stick to the fans who appreciate her back home.”
Felicity stirring uncomfortably at the suggestion, again goes for the most diplomatically-barbed reply she can: “Why Kate, can’t we learn to co-exist? You have your fans, who love seeing you naked (and killed) in House of Cards, and I have mine.”
Kate rolls her eyes, shakes her head as the gloves come off and an audible reaction issues from the gathered crowd. Weigh-ins heated, turned up a few degrees as both ladies come together and touch gloves for the briefest of moments that can be measured in parsecs. Felicity has a confident grin on her face as she meets Kate’s scowl at eye-level. Felicity choosing a royal-blue ensemble with white gloves, her medium-locks bundled up in a top-knot. Kate going for an all-black bikini, showing off her toned figure and orange gloves.
Referee waits for both ‘ladies’ to nod their readiness in the ring, and starts the bout for ten rounds of Flyweight action:
Round 1: The match begins with the British actress losing her confidence almost immediately, when Kate scores a lucky right hand that slams into the side of her face, reeling her backwards. Yet, Felicity showing herself as more comfortable in defensive-fighting, holding her guard high despite that early slip. Kate comes on aggressively, snapping lefts and rights whilst hunching over low, keeping her body and head from being targeted as well. Felicity shows her expert reflexes however as she weaves left, right, back, denying those fast hands of Mara and frustrating the redhead to no end with counter punches that ring into Mara’s ears. However, towards the end of round, the American scores with persistent jabs and pounding to that button of a nose on the Brit’s face, enabling her to steal the first round.
Round 2: Felicity rubbing her nose as she rises at the bell, the heavier-set girl content in letting Mara come to her instead. Kate throwing a series of quick jabs that pak pak pak hit leather, but the redhead doesn't see the right hook that emerges out of nowhere from behind dark gloves - SMACKS into Kate’s face and drawing an inescapable guuuuhh as Felicity continues drumming lefts and rights on as much of Kate’s face as she can get. Kate hurries backwards, shaking the shock from her head and wary of wading in to attack position now. She resolves to switching to first round strategy: pestering Felicity from afar with jabs, simply too fast on her feet for slowly-rotating Jones to catch her. Felicity knows she’s bleeding points this way, but no choice for now - at least still comes back from last round with a slight edge.
Round 3: Brit needs to change it up if she wants to get ahead in this fight. No more tank-mode Felicity, she seems to decide, lumbering forward at amazing speed that even Kate is taken off guard for a moment as Jones gets inside her personal space. Thudding hooks now effective as Felicity goes to work on Mara’s body and chest, swinging left arm, right arm inwards and out, ploughing Kate’s body like a droid. Redhead’s getting stunned, but soon fights fire with fire with uppercuts aimed back to the Brit’s chin, but they seem to lack any punch as Felicity simply shrugs them off and plants a left-right combo on Mara’s chest in reply. Crowd loving the new Felicity here as she leaves Kate in the dust, fumbling and gasping for air on the ropes as the bell sounds. Jones smiling as she heads back to corner - definitely earned this round, but can she sustain it?
Round 4: Felicity looks like she’s in trouble again - that girl really needs to work on a consistent strategy in order to secure that win. A sharp hook by Jones is parried by Mara, who then proceeds to stick her right glove into the Brit’s nose over and over again. Felicity having trouble getting separation now, grunting as the American’s fists continue to find purchase on her facial features. “COME ON!!” Kate bellows as she takes one step forward for every blow she lands, pushing her foe backward. Felicity gritting her teeth in frustration towards end of round, parries a left jab and PLANTS a right glove back into the redhead’s lips, making her eat leather in every sense of the word. Crowd roars as now Kate is the one thrown backwards, but she’s saved by the bell before Felicity can do any follow up damage. Too little too late, and both Jones and the judges know it too.
Round 5: It’s the final round and both women stand a decent shot at getting the gold. Of course, this reporter’s not gonna give the result away until the end. It starts off with Felicity going all out in Mara, battering her arms and getting some choice power left hands slamming into her cheek. Kate cursing but then quickly coming back - left and right blows to midsection of the Brit stuns her and leaves her face wide open! Another left hook, right hook drums off Felicity’s face and the Brit is NOT looking good - backs away as hard as she advanced. Crowd on their feet now as Mara pursues at light speed, red hair blazing as she senses victory. Jones guarding her face diligently still, both arms held high, receives a shocker right to the middle, as the momentum pushes her to the left on the ropes and letting her right hand SWING OUT FOR THE FENCES - CATCHES KATE RIGHT ON THE CHIN! Kate Mara is sent spinning off her feet with a gaaahhh as the spinning back fist lands against the odds! Roar from the rafters as Felicity hunched over her fallen foe, ragged breaths and shocked herself by that surprise punch having any effect whatsoever! Regardless, the effect is a totally knocked out and sprawled out Kate Mara on the canvas, her mouth open and drooling to the side!
Official Decision: Felicity Jones defeats Kate Mara via KO5!!
After: Felicity Jones regaining her composure and smiling as the referee raises her hand in victory. The actress even goes to check on Mara recuperating in the corner, but Mara shuns her completely, refuses to shake her hand. No hard feelings for Felicity though - she knows she got lucky this time round, and if she can’t accept the win completely, who is she to blame her opponent for also doing so?
“I’m glad to be here, but even happier to have won. I’m still new at this but bugger me, that was exciting. I hope to continue doing this for while,” Felicity chats candidly with reporters post-fight.
Kate more somber definitely, but far from defeated with her words. “She caught me out of nowhere. I thought I was dominating the fight throughout, but hell, this happens…”
Regardless of outcome, certainly an explosive second fight to open the evening tonight, one which definitely got the various scouting agents in attendance sitting up to take notice of both girls.
