(Writing: Girls Friday & LMW / Results: Lookout!)
Lily James
(34, 5’7, 22-3 FCBA, League of Mighty Women)
Emily DiDonato
(32, 5’10, 73-34 FCBA, Fates Boxing)
Pre-Fight: For the main event of the ‘FNL: Blood Feud’ at Boston’s TD Garden, hometown stable League of Mighty Women’s Lily James will be facing Fates Boxing’s Emily DiDonato in a rematch. These two faced each other for the first time last year around these days, on Emily’s birthday to be exact. It was for the Lightweight Title as Lily was the champion and undefeated at the time, while Emily was the challenger. Emily knocked out the champ in round 8 to take away both Lily’s title and undefeated record, while becoming a two-time champion on her birthday. After a solid title reign though, Emily ended the year on a terrible run of poor results. Her sudden downfall was one of the biggest news at the end of last year, but she had a busy and successful start to this year with her Las Vegas residency, so she will want to keep building her momentum with a win here. As for Lily, she clearly wants to avenge her defeat against the one who took away her title and undefeated record. She is coming off a loss as she failed in her title bid last time she was in the ring, but she will be looking to exploit any tiredness or weakness in her opponent.
The press conference for the main event starts with Lily addressing the audience. “Emily and I are known for being nice, so it might come as a surprise that we are main eventing for the Blood Feud, but the circumstances make the difference and I can assure you this will be an intense one. It is clear what I want from this feud. She took away my title and my record, and what for!? She ended the year on an embarrassing losing streak, that’s just disrespectful. She is clearly desperate for a big win, but I won’t give her that opportunity. When we signed the contract for this fight, she was on a losing streak, so I was worried that it would look like I’m after an easy win to avenge my defeat. That’s not what I wanted. I want to beat Emily, while she is at her best, so I’m glad that she was able to find her form again before our fight. That being said, she should have focused on this fight instead of taking on a busy schedule, so I hope she won’t use this as an excuse when she loses. I will make her pay for taking away my title and my undefeated record, as well as disrespecting me like this!” Lily is clearly still bitter about her defeat and she is fueled by vengeance for this fight.
After patiently listening to her opponent, Emily lets out a sigh and begins her own address. “It is hard to stay nice in the FCBA when you constantly face nasty opponents as you get taken advantage of. Lily is making a lot of assumptions about me, but she should just worry about herself. I had a rough patch, but I’m back on track now, so I’m not desperate for a big win or anything. She is the one coming off from a defeat and she is the one who got knocked out the last time we met, so if anyone should be worried or embarrassed, that would be her. My recent schedule isn’t her business as well, the important thing is that I am ready for this fight and I hope she is too, because I proved that I’m the better fighter before and I’ll prove it again!” With that, both fighters stand up and come to the center of the stage to pose for the cameras. Things get unexpectedly intense during the faceoff as they start trash-talking with each other, but at least it doesn't get physical as they are saving it for the bout.
It is time for the main event and Lily enters the arena first with her coach Angelica Bridges accompanying her. There seems to be an equal split between the fans at the TD Garden as Lily receives both cheers and boos as she makes her way to the ring.
