BEFORE:
Later, the atmosphere pulses with carried over energy,, the anticipation tangible as fans await both fighters’ entrances. First up, the opening notes of Florence + The Machine's "Shake It Out" fill the arena, a song that resonates with themes of redemption and resurgence, mirroring Emma's journey back to the top.
As both fighters complete their pre-fight rituals, both fighters settle into their corners and fighting stances, raising their gloves and awaiting the opening bell. HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action! This here’s for the Unified Flyweight title!!
ROUND 1:
The bell rings, and both fighters spring into action, but it's Emma who quickly establishes her game plan, utilizing her reach advantage to control the pace and flow of the bout from the outset. There’s a good three inches on the champ, and Emma decides to use it, her jab becoming a key weapon in the early exchanges, shooting out and tagging Billie on her arms and forehead, keeping the younger champion at bay and off balance. Billie’s repeatedly attempting to close the distance, trying to get inside Emma's reach and unleash her powerful combinations. However, Emma's footwork is exemplary. The taller actress actively pivots and circles, creating angles that frustrate Billie's efforts to engage up close. As the round progresses, Emma mixes up her attacks, incorporating feints and straight right hands that find their mark, crunching into the nose or lips, and further compounding Billie's challenge in finding an effective counter-strategy. But the champ, for her part, remains determined, her eyes scanning for openings and opportunities to assert her own game. The fight is still young, and Eilish has taken down a multitude of taller girls before. At the bell, it's clear to the spectators and judges alike that the challenger has won the round on points, and by a wide margin. Emma’s ability to dictate the terms of the engagement, leveraging her reach and boxing intelligence, has set a high bar for the rest of this bout, indeed! Returning to their corners, Watson receives nods of approval from her team, whereas Billie nods and listens intently to her corner's advice, ready to adjust her tactics.
ROUND 2:
A more aggressive posture from Eilish at the bell, closing the distance with a swiftness that catches Emma off guard. Several jabs fly at her once more, but Billie showcases her own agility by weaving through the attacks and then beginning to hammer and pound at Emma’s defenses. Her youthful strategy starts to pay dividends early on. She manages to slip inside Emma's jab to deliver quick, powerful body shots spanked off Emma’s waistline. Eilish’s movements are precise, each step left and right, each swing and chug of the elbow determined to maximize impact and minimize exposure to Emma's counterattacks. The British Vixen looks flustered all of a sudden, her attempts to reestablish her reach advantage being neutralized almost immediately by Billie's relentless pressure and improved head movement. In the second minute, Billie continues to press forward, landing a particularly effective combination that thuds into Emma’s arms and sending her reeling back against the ropes. The crowd roars in approval as Billie uses the final seconds to UNLEASH hell upon the challenger, a mix of powerful hooks and uppercuts BANGING away at the taller girl’s frame, several gloves sneaked through the arms to PUMMEL the tummy and torso. Of course, Emma, though resilient, finds herself on the defensive, working to absorb the onslaught and look for opportunities to counter. But when the bell rings to conclude the second, it's evident that Eilish has won the round wide in turn, her ability to adapt showcasing her champion's mettle to shift the bout in her favor!
ROUND 3:
Emma reestablishes her reach advantage, aiming long-ranged jabs and crosses at Billie's face through her guard, with the occasional smack down to the body. The intent is clear: to pummel the champ two-fold: get her to raise her arms in defense first, thereby exposing her torso to further attacks. Watson’s strikes are crisp and calculated, landing fast and with force with a "snap" and “thud”, forcing Eilish on the defensive for now at least. Despite her youthful energy, Billie struggles to close the distance without exposing herself to those targeted strikes, with Emma's discipline in maintaining her distance allowing her to dictate the pace of the round so far, her punches landing with increasing frequency as she exploits the openings in her guard. Another right hand squishes into the cheek, and the American singer instinctively raises her arms once more, allowing Watson to drive a powerful cross straight into her chest this time, drawing a loud shout of pain but also outrage. The strategy is definitely effective so far, forcing Billie to constantly adjust her guard and leaving her vulnerable. Eilish ain’t idly defending either, trying to beat Emma at her counter-punching game, and swing rapidly for the fences whenever Emma lands a shot or two. But Watson keeps herself agile and slender, slipping and weaving out of the way, backing up, and then coming in once more to pummel and paste. It’s a wide-points victory at the bell, with Emma returning to her corner pumping a fist with a sense of accomplishment, her strategy having successfully disrupted the champ’s rhythm. Billie, meanwhile, regroups with her team, the challenge of countering her tactical adjustments clear.
ROUND 4:
Same old, same old for Watson, who’s resting on her laurels somewhat, or should we say, her longer ranged attacks She’s keeping back at the start of the fourth, arms up and hiding that smirk behind her guard. Plenty to smile about here if what’s working ain’t broke. At first, she continues landing a series of tight jabs and crosses aimed at Billie's face, her punches crisp and smacking in with intent, each connecting with a sharp "whap whap whap" that damages Eilish’s pride and arms more than hurting her badly. This goes on for the next two minutes or so, but the keen-eyed observer notices that Billie’s biding her time, barely throwing punches back this time on the orders of her corner. Instead, she’s slowly tightening the noose, walking Emma back towards a corner of the ring, almost trapping her before the Vixen skirts the ropes and gets away just in the nick of time, continuing to target the champ’s face and arms, before also shifting focus to her body, more leather targeting that thick torso and abundant chest. Billie, however, is undeterred. Slowly, the young champion's resilience shines through, suddenly LAUNCHING herself forward into a fierce counterattack! She channels her power and youth into a sudden barrage of punches that take Emma by surprise, pounding against the guard at first, but then swiftly breaking through to land heavier blows off the torso and sides! Immediately, the challenger’s forced onto the defensive, backing away desperately and trying to recover her defenses. But Eilish maintains her power and positioning, sending another big haymaker across the temple to send the poor Brit reeling badly into the ropes, looking slack-jawed and groaning! Bell rings soon after, though, meaning the champ will need another round or two to put Emma away for good! One thing’s undeniable, though: Billie’s ability to mount a powerful comeback in the closing minute was an impressive feat and masterclass indeed! Both fighters return to their corners first, aware of the razor-thin margins defining this bout. Emma, despite the setback, remains focused, her experience telling her the fight is far from over. Billie, energized by her late-round success, receives encouragement from her team, ready to carry the momentum forward!
ROUND 5:
ROUND 6:
ROUND 7:
In the initial moments, Emma, showing signs of wear from the previous rounds, adopts a more defensive stance in an attempt to fend off Billie's anticipated charge. She moves with a cautious agility to the side, trying to counter her advances with quick jabs and more lateral movements designed to keep the younger champion at bay. It’s classic Emma Watson on show, and she’s no doubt trying to preserve her energy for what might be a grueling battle head. Billie, however, has OTHER ideas. She too waits patiently in the first thirty seconds, simply rotating to face Emma as she skirts and dances away from her. Then, with the confidence of a fighter who senses the end is near, she starts her advance, her green and black gloves seeking to break Emma's resistance. The punches don’t land clean but they’re herding Emma into a corner, where Eilish then simply unleashes with even more frequency and power! Despite Emma's best efforts, the tide begins to turn. Her punches force Emma back, step by step, until the former champion finds herself trapped against the turnbuckle, her options dwindling as Billie steps in further to close the distance, a right hand driven straight into the tummy to pin Watson in her gasping place! Eilish then follows up by targeting her arms and body, her punches landing with a heavy whooshes and thuds, literally blasting the challenger’s remaining defenses out of the way, then shocking her on the jawline to swivel her madly to the side. But there’s no escape for the wicked! ANOTHER calculated hook flies in to the side of her guard, and Emma's arm buckles inward awkwardly in her attempt to raise it for protection. The Brit’s face tightens in discomfort, a grimace flashing across her features as she absorbs the hit, her body instinctively trying to compensate for the compromised guard. But not letting up, Billie directs another powerful strike towards the right, the resulting "CRACK" off her ribcage echoing ominously, as Emma's frame visibly jolts to the side from the impact. Her legs stagger slightly, struggling to maintain balance while her hips shift in a reflexive attempt to dodge further onslaughts. The pain begins to well in Emma's eyes, her resilience tested as she braces for yet more. A barrage of punches slams into the torso, with one particularly forceful blow targeting the center of Emma's chest, the impact causing the Vixen’s breath to hitch in her throat, her body folding slightly over as she gasps for air, the force of the blow pushing her even further back into the turnbuckle, her back pressed against it with nowhere left to retreat. It’s a massacre on main street, but the referee STILL doesn’t want to intervene, yet with Emma’s arms still raised limp and faltering, her body halfway collapsed against the post! Fine by Eilish, who steps in and rams ruthless uppercuts into the center of her stomach, each connection forcing Emma to lurch and groan, her body folded over further, her abdomen compressed under the force, as she tries to curl inward to mitigate the pain, an instinctual response to protect herself. Her arms now flail, seeking desperately to block the incoming blows, but they're too slow, too weak, as Billie's glove continues to curl into her tummy, the force of each strike visibly indenting the flesh. Soon, the glove begins to almost disappear into her abdomen, the point of impact sending ripples across the rest of her skin! Emma's reaction to these punishing blows is immediate and visceral. With each uppercut landing, the air is violently expelled from her lungs, a forced exhalation that is as much a sound of the fight as the thuds of the gloves. Her lips part in a silent gasp, an involuntary response to the sudden and overwhelming pressure in her midsection. Her eyes widen in shock and pain, the realization of her precarious situation reflected in her gaze. The instinct to protect herself kicks in, but the speed and precision of Billie's attack leave little opportunity for effective defense. In the final moments, with Emma visibly drained and barely holding on, one of Billie's gloves arcs through the air with lethal intent. The uppercut connects squarely with Emma's chin… her head SNAPS upwards, her face contorted in a mix of shock and pain. For a fleeting moment, her eyes are wide, and the momentum of the uppercut not only lifts her head but also throws the rest of her body back against the turnbuckle! Emma’s feet momentarily lose contact with the canvas, her entire frame suspended in a tableau of vulnerability. And then, she COLLAPSES to the canvas! The Brit’s descent is almost graceful, a stark contrast to the violence of the blow that precipitated it. She lands in a heap, her body crumpled against the base of the turnbuckle, in a silent testament to the culmination of Billie's relentless pursuit of victory! The arena falls momentarily silent, the collective breath of the audience held in anticipation of the referee's count. But it's clear, even before the count concludes, that Emma will not be rising! The referee's count reaches the final ten, and the arena erupts into a mix of cheers and stunned silence! It’s OVER!!
Official Result: Billie Eilish defeats Emma Watson via KO7! Billie Eilish RETAINS the Unified Flyweight Title!!
AFTER:
In the immediate aftermath, Eilish is absolutely exuberant as she returns to her corner. Her team envelops her in celebration, their jubilation as clear as day, Billie's face alight with the thrill of victory but also the realization that her winning streak has again been extended.
Emma Watson, in contrast, is reflective as she addresses the media, her demeanor one of quiet resilience. "Fights like these, they test you in ways you can't imagine," Emma states, her voice steady despite the night's outcome. "Billie is a phenomenal champion, and tonight, she proved why she holds the title. I gave it everything I had, and while it wasn't enough this time, this isn't the end. There's a lot to learn from tonight, and I'll be back stronger. This isn't just about getting knocked down; it's about how you get back up."

BEFORE:
And it’s TIME for the Unified Flyweight Title contest! In one corner, we have the undefeated champ with a cool and impressive 26 wins and zero losses! Miss Eilish has taken the music world by storm in recent years, and no matter what arena she finds herself in, it appears to be one of absolute dominance. And in the other, former champ and recent Hall-of-Famer Emma Watson seeks to kickstart her second title run by attempting the impossible!
During the earlier pre-fight press conference, the venue is packed with fans and media alike, eager to witness the verbal sparring ahead of a much-anticipated clash. Emma makes her entrance first, dressed in a smart, form-fitting navy blue tracksuit that complements her athletic build, her brunette hair styled in a practical yet elegant updo. She’s calculated, poised, and ready to leverage her experience to her advantage tonight. Taking her seat, the British actress offers the crowd a smile, her eyes scanning the room.
Up next, Billie’s entrance is marked by a vibrant green and black athletic ensemble, reflecting her bold and unconventional approach, both in and out of the ring. Her hair, dyed in shades that match her outfit, falls in loose waves around her shoulders. The American singer is a good decade younger than the challenger tonight, her own presence dynamic, her demeanor secure in maintaining her clean winning streak.
The moderator kicks off the event, diving into questions about preparations, strategies, and expectations. Emma, addressed first, speaks as someone who's navigated these waters before. "Experience in this sport is invaluable," she states, her tone measured but firm. "Billie's talent is undeniable, impressive even, but there's a depth of strategy and resilience that comes with time. I respect her achievements, but I'm here to start my second run with the gold straps, and I'm fully prepared to give her a reality check."
Billie's response is laced with the confidence of a champion who has yet to taste defeat. "Emma's had a great run, no doubt about it. But that was exactly that. In the past. This is a NEW era," Billie declares, her voice carrying a mix of respect and challenge. "I bring something different to the ring—energy, power, and a record that speaks for itself. I'm not underestimating her acting chops, but I'm here to show that my reign with the title is just beginning."
Later, the staredown continues the silent conversation. Emma, her brunette hair a stark contrast to Billie's colorful waves, meets her gaze with an intensity that belies her calm demeanor. Billie, undaunted, returns the stare, her youthful confidence facing off against Emma's seasoned resolve.
The crowd erupts as the British actress makes her appearance through the smoke, curtains, and lights, her silhouette emerging against the backlight clad in a sleek, metallic silver robe that glimmers, her name emblazoned across the back in bold navy letters. It's a statement piece, reflective of her status as a former champion and her aspirations to shine once more in the ring. Her brunette hair is pulled back into a no-nonsense ponytail, signaling her readiness for the battle ahead. As Emma strides down the aisle, she allows a smirk to edge her lips upwards. And once inside the ring, she sheds her robe, revealing her fight attire: a navy blue sports bra and silver sport trunks, together with white gloves.
Then, the mood shifts as the opening beats of "you should see me in a crown" by Billie Eilish herself, thundering through the arena. It's a bold choice, the lyrics echoing the champ’s supreme confidence and her intent to defend her reign. The arena lights first dim to highlight her approach, before the spotlight swivels to capture her every step. Billie wears a vibrant green and black robe that stands out against the darkness of the arena, her blonde hair styled in loose, flowing waves that match her outfit's colors. Her walk to the ring is one of unapologetic pride, and inside the ring, she discards her robe, revealing a cutting-edge, green and black two-piece, designed for mobility and impact.

Billie, energized by her late-round success, receives encouragement from her team, ready to carry the momentum forward!
ROUND 5:
The fifth commences with both fighters keenly aware of the fight's escalating intensity and the championship title’s most coveted nature. Eilish, having narrowly edged out the previous round, steps forth now with a surge of confidence, her demeanor bullish and her tactics even more aggressive than before. And who can blame her?! The young blonde singer’s built for power and speed, a lethal combination that no doubt has contributed to her extended winning streak. Meanwhile, the challenger once more faces the mounting pressure, when from the outset, Billie closes the distance with unnatural speed, taking all of Emma’s jabs easily on her firm guard. Watson still believes she can stick around and brawl with the decade-younger champ, and pays the price, getting rocked to the sides by firm hooks landing, and then rattled by more swings crashing into the sides of her heads. Soon, her movements, once crisp and deliberate, start to flag under the weight of Billie's relentless pressure, and the precision of her punches also diminishes, her arms more focused on blocking and deflecting rather than inflicting harm. Of course, this just gives Billie the license to increase her assault, and her blows begin landing with increased frequency and force. Emma's torso and waistline are the targets of heavy blows, each of Eilish’s gloves connecting with resounding "thuds" to wear her down. Billie's strategy is clear: to sap the Brit’s energy and resolve through sheer force and tenacity. By the time the bell rings, it’s a clearer round for the champ, with Billie’s ability to maintain a high intensity and pressure clearly tilting the bout in her favor.
Emma digs deep, trying to focus and turn the fight back in her favor. For the first minute, she’s back to deftly avoiding Billie's aggressive swings, back to showcasing her ring intelligence and defensive skills. Or it could be just pure luck! The champ keeps swinging at chugging leather towards her arms, thinking all it’ll take is a couple more thumps to blow her ramparts out of the water. Instead, Emma’s being methodical, waiting for Eilish to pull back a strike before shooting her left-right jab-cross combos swiftly inwards, leather packed into the champ’s cheeks and shoving her head back with loud grunts. Down the line, Emma goes after low-hanging fruit and pummels her breasts for good measure, exploiting the pain shooting through her frame to connect with MORE blows all over. This time, Billie looks like she’s in trouble, getting pushed back every couple of steps, the punishment soon adding up! Her back hits the ropes in the final minute and it’s Emma’s turn to UNLEASH upon her!! Here comes a barrage of punches, Watson still keeping her distance and packing leather gloves into the champ’s guard and body down below, punches sunk into tummy flesh in a valiant effort to break her down early! Suddenly, Miss Watson’s chances of winning this title are ignited once more, as a series of rapid jabs transition to her face, knocking her silly with multiple snaps that forces Billie to raise her arms and cover, but also inadvertently expose her body to further attack. The round ends with a series of heavy hooks pounding away at her torso and ribs, Emma helping herself to multiple bangs and blows, each one folding Eilish over and contorting her face in pain, before the bell rings and the referee enforces the break! Despite the ferocity of the attack, Billie demonstrates why she is the reigning champion, having withstood the barrage, partially using the ropes for support, partially just plain stubbornness and sturdiness. Watson with a wide round right back this time, but there’s clear disappointment on her expression, a mix of fatigue and frustration that despite her relentless assault, she didn't manage to force a knockdown. Emma's own breaths come in heavy, labored gasps as she walks back to her corner, and her eyes briefly close and flutter open as she takes a moment to compose herself. Across the ring, Billie Eilish leans heavily against the ropes, her own body bearing the marks of Emma's aggression. Despite the visible signs of the punishment she's endured, the champ’s spirit remains unbroken. And with a defiant glance towards Billie even puckers her lips in a taunt, a silent but potent declaration that she's still very much in the fight!
In the initial moments, Emma, showing signs of wear from the previous rounds, adopts a more defensive stance in an attempt to fend off Billie's anticipated charge. She moves with a cautious agility to the side, trying to counter her advances with quick jabs and more lateral movements designed to keep the younger champion at bay. It’s classic Emma Watson on show, and she’s no doubt trying to preserve her energy for what might be a grueling battle head. Billie, however, has OTHER ideas. She too waits patiently in the first thirty seconds, simply rotating to face Emma as she skirts and dances away from her. Then, with the confidence of a fighter who senses the end is near, she starts her advance, her green and black gloves seeking to break Emma's resistance. The punches don’t land clean but they’re herding Emma into a corner, where Eilish then simply unleashes with even more frequency and power! Despite Emma's best efforts, the tide begins to turn. Her punches force Emma back, step by step, until the former champion finds herself trapped against the turnbuckle, her options dwindling as Billie steps in further to close the distance, a right hand driven straight into the tummy to pin Watson in her gasping place! Eilish then follows up by targeting her arms and body, her punches landing with a heavy whooshes and thuds, literally blasting the challenger’s remaining defenses out of the way, then shocking her on the jawline to swivel her madly to the side. But there’s no escape for the wicked! ANOTHER calculated hook flies in to the side of her guard, and Emma's arm buckles inward awkwardly in her attempt to raise it for protection. The Brit’s face tightens in discomfort, a grimace flashing across her features as she absorbs the hit, her body instinctively trying to compensate for the compromised guard. But not letting up, Billie directs another powerful strike towards the right, the resulting "CRACK" off her ribcage echoing ominously, as Emma's frame visibly jolts to the side from the impact. Her legs stagger slightly, struggling to maintain balance while her hips shift in a reflexive attempt to dodge further onslaughts. The pain begins to well in Emma's eyes, her resilience tested as she braces for yet more.

In the final moments, with Emma visibly drained and barely holding on, one of Billie's gloves arcs through the air with lethal intent. The uppercut connects squarely with Emma's chin… her head SNAPS upwards, her face contorted in a mix of shock and pain. For a fleeting moment, her eyes are wide, and the momentum of the uppercut not only lifts her head but also throws the rest of her body back against the turnbuckle! Emma’s feet momentarily lose contact with the canvas, her entire frame suspended in a tableau of vulnerability. And then, she COLLAPSES to the canvas! The Brit’s descent is almost graceful, a stark contrast to the violence of the blow that precipitated it.

AFTER:
In the immediate aftermath, Eilish is absolutely exuberant as she returns to her corner. Her team envelops her in celebration, their jubilation as clear as day, Billie's face alight with the thrill of victory but also the realization that her winning streak has again been extended.
Amid the cheers and the clamor of the crowd, Billie climbs the turnbuckle, her arms raised high, a champion basking in the glory of her triumph. The green and black of her gloves, now symbols of her continued dominance, are held aloft as she acknowledges the crowd, her smile wide and victorious.
Across the ring, the scene is markedly different. Emma Watson, having given her all in a bid to reclaim the title, is on the canvas, being attended to by the medical team. Concern is etched on the faces of her corner and the medical staff as they assess her condition, ensuring she receives the attention she needs in the wake of the bout's conclusion.
Emma, though visibly disappointed and physically spent, is responsive, her fighter's spirit evident even in defeat. As she's helped to her feet and out of the ring, there's a respectful silence from the crowd, an acknowledgment of her valiant effort and the courage it takes to step into the ring.
Backstage later, Billie, still riding the high of her victory, speaks to the press with a blend of excitement and humility. "Tonight was about proving to myself and to everyone that I can face any challenge that comes my way," Billie shares, her voice brimming with confidence. "Emma is an incredible fighter, and stepping into the ring with her was an honor. This victory, it's not just mine; it's a testament to my team, our hard work, and the belief we have in each other. We're ready for whatever comes next."
