ScarJo vs Holland Roden
A contest of contrasts tonight, with a relatively inexperienced Holland Roden taking on one of the most iconic women in the FCBA, Scarlett Johanson.
Press Conference:
Reporter: Holland, you've only ever had 1 win in the FCBA, while Scarlett has many more, does that change your approach to this fight?
Roden: Yeah, my approach has been tailored, Scarlett is incredibly fit, definitely fitter than me, and can go for more rounds, so I'm really looking to end this fight early on, and knock her out.
Reporter: Scarlett, any response to that?
Johanson: Not really, everybody knows who I am, what I can do, and who I can beat. Holland Roden is someone I can beat, it will be a challenge, but a pretty small one.
Reporter: How do you feel about the opprotunity you're being given?
Scarlett Johanson: I'm really happy to have been given this chance. Its hard being a free agent, having to arrange your own fights, do your own promotion, and the pay is a lot better when you're in a stable. I do want to win this fight and prove why I deserve to be in one.
Holland Roden: Yeah, I know that I haven't been a very dominant figure in the FCBA, but I'm going to do what I can to win, if that means going through hell and back against Scarlett, I will.
Round 1:
Holland Roden coming out in red trunks with a matching sports bra, while ScarJo is coming out in opposing blue attire. The 2 women warming up, and the bell rings. Roden sprints out of her corner, and smashes into ScarJo, pushing her back into the corner and ramming twin uppercuts into her body. ScarJo desperately loosing a right hook, but Roden has the measure of it, and ducks quickly. Roden's light, quick feet staying on the toes, and moving back to the center, taking heavy breathes, ScarJo, taking a small beating there, trying to catch her breath too. Roden, realising this is a mistake rushes back and slams bodies with ScarJo. ScarJo goes into a clinch with Roden, and the 2 women tumble towards the center of the ring. Roden peppering ScarJo's face with jabs, forcing her to try and counter, and ScarJo leaves herself open to a huge uppercut! ScarJo is rocked, stumbling backwards, Roden waiting and pushing forward after a couple of seconds, but ScarJo's recovered and slams Roden back with a left hook, and that marks the end of the round.
Round 2
The last round was dominated by Roden, but her inexperience did show quite a bit there. There were places where she made the wrong decision and could have ended the fight, cracks do show.
The bell rings for the second round, but Roden takes a different approach, not rushing out, but tentatively, that may be a mistake. ScarJo starts things off with a couple jabs, but Roden dodges and blocks, and does the same, the 2 women remembering the negatives from the last round well. ScarJo feints with a right hook, and Roden falls for it, left hooks swings in and an uppercut follow, stunning Roden! Roden clinches in desperation, but ScarJo sidesteps, and pounds another massive punch into the gorgeous redhead's head. Roden is stunned and keeping her arms up for the rest of the round, absorbing the brunt of ScarJo's attacks, and hurting her forearms in the process. The bell rings for the end of round 2
Round 3
Roden's forearms being iced, while ScarJo grins from across the ring, we all know she was in control that round. The bell rings and the 2 women come out to testing jabs. ScarJo keeping Roden at bay, but whenever Roden strings some offence, ScarJo cracks a overhand to put Roden at bay. After one hard overhand, Roden is stunned and ScarJo smells blood in the water, and unleashes an uppercut!! Roden's down! ScarJo rushes to the neutral corner, Roden just groaning on the floor. 7 count here, Roden just trying to push herself up, and the fight's over! Scarlett Johanson defeats Holland Roden by a knockout in the 3rd round. Now, onto the analysts
Analysts
Analyst 1: For the Stable Tryouts, we won't be allowing any funny business during an aftermath, due to the fact that any embarrassment to any fighters may deter other stables from signing them, and that goes against the purpose of the Tryouts.
But, first, let's look at Holland Roden, what do you think went wrong for her, and what do you think went right?
Analyst 2: It's really simple, in round 1, she made 1 key mistake that cost her a win, she had Scarlett on the ropes, being beaten down, but she just pauses, catches her breath, takes it easy for a couple seconds. Scarlett was rocked, Holland's boxing prowess showed there, but inexperience did too. In round 2, she did the exact opposite of what made her win the first round, she just waited off, Scarlett's seen it all, either from training, watching other fights, or actually being in fights, nobody's gonna beat her alternating the gameplan. What you have to do, is find a weakness, and exploit it. Roden made some mistakes that cost her the fight tonight.
Analyst 1: Now, what about the victor, Scarlett Johanson,
Analyst 2: Johanson's experience really did show, she knows how to exploit mistakes, she knows how to beat people into a pulp, and she knows how to adapt, she adapted to quick paced start, blocking, and Scarlett adapted to the tentative style in rounds 2 and 3, and knocked Holland out.
Analyst 1: So who do you think is gonna get signed, if either. Obviously Holland showed some grit and striking ability, and her problem is lack of experience and guidance, which is easily fixed when you have a stable. But what about ScarJo
Analyst 2: It's hard to not focus on the downsides when you just look at her record, 40 wins, 47 losses, more losses than wins, and in the previous 2 years she has been racking only 2 wins, for 4+ losses. But then you look at this year, already has 4 wins, now 5 counting tonight, she may just be picked up by a stable
