Intro:
We have in one corner tonight chess playing social media star Andrea Botez and in the opposite corner Hollywood star Rooney Mara. Both are looking to use tonight's Crossover pay per view to shine a spotlight on themselves for different reasons.
For Andrea she hopes to get her first win after failing to do so in her debut a few weeks ago. She fought singer Madison Beer on the latest Vix scouting card, ending up taking home a loss by fourth round knockout. She has previously fought Michelle Khare for charity for "Creator Clash" and did a chess boxing match, so boxing is something she knows, it's just about proving she can get the wins on the board.
Andrea stated by video on her social media "fans my FCBA debut didn't go so well. Madison has my respect as she boxed brilliantly. I will beat you nest time I see you Madison. Now it's onto Rooney Mara and my god is she going to be tough. I have watched the videos of her fighting and boy does she not take any prisoners. I look forwards to our fight and know this time I will win, especially with all your support!" Blowing a kiss to her webcam.
Rooney on the other hands career has been mixed. She has beaten the likes of Malese Jow and even her own sister Kate. While losing to the likes of former BBU flyweight champion Jenna Louise Coleman. The bigger issue for her has been finding competition since 2020. She has seemingly put off challengers with her being dubbed too big a risk.
Before the bout Rooney was interviewed backstage by the FCBA Networks Alicia Atout. Rooney wearing a black strapless dress and heels looked all business as she had her hands on her hips. She told Alicia "it's been too long since I got to lace up my gloves. Andrea and me were asked to duke it out and I am ready for anything she brings."
When asked about ring rust; Rooney replies "I have still been training hard, I might take a round to warm up but Andrea will be nervous after losing to Madison, I'll exploit that to wear her down and give her another loss. While I add another win to my FCBA career." Rooney heads off with a little swagger to her step.
Now it's fighting time with both in the ring! Andrea is in the red corner shaking her arms looking a little nervous. Her coach rubbing her shoulders as they tell her to relax. Andrea is wearing a red sports bra with black trim, matching trunks and shoes, red gloves and her hair is tied into a ponytail finishes her look off.
In the blue corner Rooney is shadow boxing to warm up. She looks focused as she is told off her coach to keep Andrea on the back foot. Rooney is wearing a black sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, hair tied into a ponytail too.
The fighters walk to the middle of the ring. Locking eyes as they listen to the final instructions before there is a respectful touch of gloves from the fighters. Walking back to their corners as the crowd looks excited to see what these two can do. The bell rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1:
Engaging behind their jabs as they box around the middle of the ring. Andrea is moving more on her toes with Rooney trying to step in to stab her punch around the torso of the younger fighter. Both getting a feel for each other. Rooney digs in several more hooks to the ribs of Andrea towards the end of the opening minute.
A left hook catches Rooney on her chin. That wards her back as Andrea rifles in a jab/straight through the mitts of Rooney. Who maybe showing her ring rust as she is getting caught with more punches then she is landing. The chess player picking her spots to land through gaps that she can see.
Moving Rooney around the outside part of the ring, Andrea looks comfortable but she is getting caught with a few hooks when her guard is too open. Grunts and groans are heard as they exchange. The round comes to an end with Andrea looking happy enough with her work in the round, Rooney tapping her cheeks as if to tell herself to get into gear.
Round 2:
Off they go again with a little more tempo from both. Rooney stepping inside more to light up the body of Andrea with short hooks, Andrea stepping back to create space with jabs thudding into the forehead of Rooney. Hard fought inside fighting comes as Rooney won't be denied, leading to a heated exchange as the crowd roar them on.
Rooney shows her experience over Andrea with a bump with her left forearm to the chest, an uppercut follows behind it and Andrea finds herself on the back foot. The Hollywood star now pressing Andrea backwards towards her corner, switching her targets as Andrea looks a little worried, maybe having flash backs of her FCBA debut. It ends up with Botez clinching up to get some respite.
Resuming with just over a minute to go, Andrea moving around the outside part of the ring firing out single shots. It's Rooney now the one being forceful as she fires in several two punch combos, even landing a few into the chest of her opponent. At the bell both walk back to their corners with Rooney getting a nod from her coach to show they were happy with the improvement.
Round 3:
Resuming with both lighting the other up with punches square to their opponents face. Rooney lands a few sweeping left crosses out her guard to make Andrea take a few steps back. She just misses with a right hook as Andrea sees it coming and moves to the left side of her opponent.
On comes Mara again but she is met with a straight into her nose to slow her down. Andrea now lacing in a few hooks to the body before she gets back on her bike, not wanting to be pinned down by her opponent as Rooney grits her gumshield to show a hint of frustration at her younger opponents movement, especially when she gets smacked to the face through her guard.
Inside comes Rooney late in the round with a nudge to her opponents chest to get her to the ropes, both tee off in tight as Rooney presses her forehead into Andreas, earning a warning from the referee about it. Cracks of leather ring out till the bell dings to end proceedings. Andrea takes a breath as if to keep her nerves under control.
Round 4:
Rooney trying to put her opponent under pressure right away as both women let their hands go, Andrea landing several hard jabs into her face to stop her bullrushing her. A nice feint and then slipping a jab allows Rooney to move in closer before she lands a left hook on the jaw of the social media star to twist her head.
Driven against the ropes, Andrea is having to fire back as Rooney is looking to maul her body. Suddenly Rooney switches to uppercuts with one landing flush to make Botez grab onto her tightly. Rooney puts her arms out to the side to show she isn't the one clinching to the crowd, maybe playing some mind games as they are split apart moments later.
Both exchange more flurries as they box around the ring, Andrea has a little redness around her left cheek. Rooney has a fat bottom lip after taking several clean two punch combos on it. Brows slick with sweat as it is clear more are giving it their all. Rooney just misses with a sweeping left hook late on, getting smacked with a counter right to her jaw to send some sweat flying. Sadly for Andrea the bell rings before she can pile much more leather into the face of Mara. Both sitting on their stools getting worked on as this has to be tightly scored by the judges.
Round 5:
Coming back out to fight, Rooney gets caught early with a counter right around her temple, there's a slight wobble to her legs and Andrea ever keen to see an opponent in chess get worried, she sees the trace of fear in Rooney's eyes and steps in with a lunging left hook to make her foe reel backwards with a stumble. ANDREA STEPS IN AND LANDS A RIGHT HOOK ON THE BUTTON TO SEND ROONEY DOWN TO HER RIGHT SIDE AFTER ONLY THIRTY FOUR SECONDS OF THE ROUND!
Jogging to the neutral corner, Andrea has the expression of a kid seeing their presents on Christmas Day. 1....2....3....4... Rooney groans as she grabs for the bottom rope with her right glove. 5....6.... She pulls herself along to it. 7....8... She only seems able to hug it under her right arm as she shakes her head to clear her head. 9....10 it's all over! Andrea beats Rooney!
Winner Andrea Botez KO Round 5
After:
Jumping for joy! Andrea is looking around almost in disbelief that she has scored her first victory in celebrity female boxing. Rushing over to her coach to get a big hug from them. Blowing kisses to the crowd afterwards as they cheer and whistles for her. She certainly has plenty of energy for someone who was fighting a tough competitor.
Of course Rooney on the other hand has to be helped up onto her stool as she is checked over by the ringside doctor. It looks like she will be ok as the dizziness stops and she nods with a glum look that she is alright. Her coach telling her that if she wasn't ring rusty she would have taken down Andrea.
Both women get cleaned up before they walk to the center of the ring for the final result to be announced, Andrea getting her left hand raised to a loud cheer as she seems to have won over the crowd with her infectious personality. Even making Rooney laugh when Andrea kisses the referees cheek as a thank you for them refereeing her first victory.
The two former foes share an embrace as Andrea is thanking everyone for this moment. Rooney telling her she did good with a grin. Andrea joking "you didn't do so badly yourself" as she points at the redness to her left cheek, with both looking like old friends now then people who just let loose on each other over these last few rounds.
Rooney bows to each side of the ring before she leaves. Heading to the back knowing she needs to find more ring time if she is to fulfil the promise she showed several years ago. She'd later in the night tell Alicia Atout when asked for a few words about tonight "Andrea has a bright future from what I saw, she has the movement part down and can hit. It's just about confidence if she makes it to the top, but don't worry about me, I will be back and kicking ass soon enough."
Andrea meanwhile steps outside the ring to go give a big hug to her big sister Alexandra, who you never know, she might step into the ring herself someday. For now Alexandra promises to get her lil sister a present tonight of the alcoholic variety making Andrea grin at her with a nod.
Jogging to the back with her coach as she is told that they need to get the next fight going soon. Andrea showed promise tonight and she later tells Alicia "I can't wait to be back in that ring. Sign me up for any opponent, whether it be traditional boxing, that AMD thing or hell if anyone wants to test me, chess boxing is always on offer." Excited for the future and the now as she takes a drink of champagne out her glass.
