Scarlett is 35 years old; she stands 5'3, holding a record of 40 wins, 32 coming by way of knockout, 47 defeats with 3 draw, she is a former FCBA flyweight champion, a two time FCBA bantamweight champion and a former FCBA JMD champion.

Both women are just outside that top 15 in the rankings, though Michelle has had the more mixed bag results of the two fighters, her height and youth has people seeing this as a close fight.

Before the fight they were both interviewed by Alicia Atout in the interview area of the arena, first up Michelle stands in front of the FCBA badge on the wall with her wearing a black tracksuit with her fists taped up.

"I am excited to be fighting in Vegas, while part of me would prefer to be with the husband, beating up Scarlett will do" Says the British actress as she looks in a good mood.

Asked why she is going to win, Michelle replies "I mean I am quicker then her, while she has had a great career, let's be honest she has failed enough times that I have nothing to worry about really" she leaves as she pats Alicia on her arm as she passes her.

Scarlett now stands in front of the cameras, she nods to Alicia but speaks straight to the camera as she says "look I'll keep this short and sweet, as you've all seen I have found my way in the ring again, this is just another step on my way back to the top, unlucky for Michelle I guess" she says thanks to Alicia for the chance to speak before she goes off to her locker room.

Fighting time; Michelle heads out to the ring with Denise Lewis, she looks relaxed as she jogs towards the ring, stopping to fist bump some of her stablemates in the front row like Maya Jama and Jourdan Dunn.

She is wearing a white sports bra, white trunks with black stripes down the side, white shoes and black gloves, her black hair is tied into a ponytail.

Getting into the ring, Michelle pumps her right fist in the air as she heads to her corner, Denise is giving her advice as she knows this isn't going to be easy for Keegan tonight.

Stepping through the curtain Scarlett has her eyes on the ring, she is looking in a fighting mode, banging her gloves together as she marches down the aisle.

The American is wearing a black sports bra, black trunks with white stripes down the side, black gloves and shoes, her blonde hair is tied into a ponytail.

Getting through the ropes, Scarlett pounds her chest with her right glove, she stares at Michelle as she warms up, her coach telling her to keep the train going to the top.

Coming together at the center of the ring, the fighters square up nose to nose, eyes locked as their coaches rub their shoulders and arms to keep them loose.

Swiping their gloves together as they are keen to return to their corners, the coaches putting their gumshields in before the bell rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
Circling up on their toes with their left fists out as they throw probing punches, neither wants to make a mistake in a hurry, feeling out their opponent's reflexes.

The American is the first to land a combo, feinting with a jab up top so she can switch down to the body with a straight/left hook combo, making Michelle hiss as she takes a step back.

While Scarlett landed the first real blow, Michelle is the one who takes control after she leans out the way of a left cross, drilling in three quick fire punches into the Marvel actresses face.

Both dart in to work away, bodies getting hooked, cheeks getting clipped with overhand punches, it is an energetic scrap at the center of the ring, getting the fans cheering them on.

An uppercut finds the mark for Michelle as they head into the final minute, she backs up Scarlett to the ropes with two more straight punches to her face.

At the bell Michelle looks pleased after having Scarlett pinned to the ropes to finish, Denise telling her good job as they discuss what the plan is now they feel they know how things are going to go.

Round 2:
Back out they go in a similar fashion to the opening round, circling at mid range to each other, similar styles as they bob and weave to find angles to better land their bigger punches.

Michelle this time is first to push the tempo, landing a right to the chest of the busty blonde, followed by a left across her cheek, opening Scarlett up to several more clean shots to her face to knock her backwards.

When it looks like Michelle is going to pin Scarlett to the ropes again, she misses with a right cross, taking two rights to the body before a overhand left smacks the Brit across her face.

Now it's Johansson working back Michelle with piston like body shots, bullying the brunette to the ropes across the ring, till Keegan can shove her back to create some space.

Back and forth goes the action, one opening left is used by the other, till they end up trading in close, heads grinding as they brawl on the inside, trying to win this close round.

Which comes to an end with both women nudging apart, they turn back to their corners knowing they need to be perfect to win this contest.

Round 3:
Trading stinging jabs to abs and cheeks, they are moving in closer to work, trying to use little nudges with their left to open up gaps for them to land cleaner punches into.

Scarlett eats a left across her face as Michelle sidesteps her, another two rights smack back the American's head, she is driven into a corner, where she has to tighten her guard.

While Michelle swings in hooks to the body, barking out with effort as she is looking to break down Johansson, who fires out a straight into the nose of Keegan to knock her head back.

Pushing back Michelle so she can get out the corner, Scarlett has to box defensively as Michelle is looking to be more aggressive, both drilling nice punches to the others face through mitts, causing marks on their beautiful faces.

The final seconds of the round sees Michelle land an uppercut in close, she follows with two cross punches to knock back Scarlett, knocking Johansson towards the ropes.

With the bell ringing to end the round, Michelle sits on her stool getting wiped down, the Beever's corner is looking more relaxed of the two corners.

Round 4:
Landing more punches now as they throw more combos, Scarlett dips under a straight in the opening thirty seconds, landing a counter overhand right to the chin of Keegan to turn her head.

Michelle manages to land a double jab to push back Scarlett, but when she steps in she eats an uppercut to knock her head back, a left hook looks to have rocked Keegan as she is knocked backwards.

Hammered onto the ropes by three punches straight into her face, Michelle trying to cover up as blood runs from her nose, while Scarlett piles the pressure on.

Clinching up with Scarlett, Michelle looks relieved not to be getting assaulted, the referee breaks them up as Scarlett bangs her gloves together, wanting to get at Michelle badly now she knows she can hurt her.

Stinging jabs to the face of Scarlett seem to be keeping her at range, Michelle moving side to side as she seems to be getting her lefts fully back under her after that scare.

A left hook though sends sweat flying off her head, Scarlett knocks her opponent into a corner in the dying seconds of the round, with her cruelly landing a left to the nose of the brunette, making Michelle cry out just before the bell rings.

Sitting on her stool as the Beever's crew work on patching her up, Michelle understandably looks upset at herself for getting caught, a hint of worry on Denise's face for the first time in this fight, she tells Michelle to box her way back into this.

While Scarlett stays standing, she is raring to go after buzzing her opponent, some at ringside wondering if that might have been a 10-8 round on the scorecards because of the way Michelle was dazed.

Round 5:
Boxing a little more defensively as she comes out her corner, Michelle is trying to find some rhythm, sticking to jabs and straights to ward back the stalking Scarlett.

A missed right by Michelle though as Scarlett slips it and lands a pinpoint left hook to the chin, Michelle is rocked again as she eats four clean punches into her face that reels her backwards, A LEFT HOOK FINISHES THE JOB IT SEEMS AS MICHELLE TUMBLES TO HER BACK!

The ScarJo fans are roaring as Scarlett looks to the heavens with a grin, 1...2...3... Michelle is groaning as she holds her jaw, her nose bleeding again makes things look worse, 4...5...6....7... Michelle turns to her right side as her blood drips onto the canvas, 8...9...10 there she stays as she is counted out!

Winner Scarlett Johansson KO Round 5

After:
That's another win on the board for Scarlett as the run continues, she pumps her left fist into the air as she jogs back to her corner, where she thanks her coach for helping her find herself again.

While Michelle has to be helped to sit on her stool, the ringside doctor helps to stop the bleeding in her nose, Michelle looking disappointed after being very competitive in this fight, even leading on the scorecards till those last two rounds saw her crumble.

Jogging over to Michelle, Scarlett checks she will be OK, after a nod from both to show respect and Michelle saying she is, Scarlett heads to the center of the ring with Michelle staring hard at her.

Scarlett gets her hand raised by the referee, she thanks the fans by bowing to them, hoping this run will continue as her coach gives her a hug and praise for another good win.

Michelle leaves the ring with her corner team, shutting her eyes as she heads up the aisle, she looks to be fighting her emotions, upset that she was the one who ended the night losing after a good performance.

While in the ring Scarlett poses for the cameras, already there has been talk of could she get a title shot as a free agent, she certainly is trying to maximize those chances by switching weight divisions.

Question is as she leaves the ring, does she need that elite name in a division to get that shot or does her record mean she deserves one? Scarlett isn't thinking about that right now as she leaves the ring smiling to her fans as she jogs to the back, excited for her future.
