Intro:
We kick off this years International Cup event with a battle of bubbly blondes, Emily Osment and Juno Temple look to get things going for their teams in the right director, the Alamodome in Houston is the venue for this clash.
Both women's record are very similar to go with their physical stats, Juno has the more experience and is slightly older, Emily won her last fight unlike Juno, so this is as close a coin flip as you maybe can get in female celebrity boxing right now.
Each fighter gave their thoughts before the fight on video in the media room of the teams gyms, Emily wore a red shirt with Team USA in black letters across the chest, smiling warmly as usual to the camera after giving a little wave.
"Oh my lord I never expected to be involved in one of these events, I mean me and Cassie have been friends a while, even if we weren't so friendly when we first met" says Emily with a giggle, remember the first time she met team USA captain Scerbo was in the ring on Emily's debut, since then they are known to hang out at the Front Street manor.
Emily continues "I am so excited but I promised Cassie I am bringing home a win for her, when I do she owes me a drink of champagne out the cup" winking as she holds back another giggle, her fun personality fully on show.
She finishes by saying "in all seriousness Juno is a great fighter, I can't wait to test her out, I need to win for the team so I will come in the ring at my best" she stands up blowing a kiss to the camera before leaving to go train.
Juno heads into her stables camera room with a beautiful smile of her own, wearing a black sports bra and tight trunks, a towel around the back of her neck from training, nodding to the camera.
"It is an honour to fight in this event, Jenna is someone I'd like to meet in the ring someday, it is great for me that she sees me as good enough for this team especially with us defending the cup" Juno says with a serious look.
Wiping her brow with the towel, Juno changes the subject to her opponent, telling the camera "now to Emily, it's funny I don't think anyone has compared us but when I got the news she was the one I am fighting, this is going to be interesting, she is very similar to be bar one important detail, when the going gets tough I don't crack, once I have a chance to pressure her she will wilt, just watch" grinning as she stands up finished with her speech.
Fight night, first out the curtain is Emily, she jogs down the aisle with Team USA coach Neve Campbell walking beside her, Emily waves to the fans as she looks in a good mood, wearing an American flag pattern robe.
The robe comes off before she steps into the ring, Emily wearing a red sports bra, stars and stripes pattern trunks, red gloves and shoes, she does a lap inside the ring pumping her right fist into the air as the crowd are as pumped as she is, Neve not looking too impressed but focusing on reminding Emily of the tactics tonight.
Now out comes Juno with the Team Rest of the World coach Nicole Kidman, they look more serious as they walk to the ring, Juno has a slight smirk as she bounces on her toes at the ring steps, not getting too much love from the fans but she has her stablemates in the crowd to give her some support.
She is wearing a navy blue sports bra, matching gloves and boots, with Union Jack trunks, her hair is tied into a ponytail, she jogs to her corner with Nicole telling her to think of this as her chance to show the world what they are missing.
The fighters step to the center of the ring, both bouncing on their toes as they look each other over, seeing how close the other really is physically to themselves, Emily grinning as she is looking excited to test out Juno.
Both respectfully bump the others gloves with their own, jogging to their corners with a their coaches giving them a message of good luck, the bell then rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1:
At the bell both women exchange a nod before they get down to business, on their toes circling as they bash in jabs to faces, it isn't long before they step in to land a quick flurry of punches, then step back out as the crowd cheer the energetic start.
Through the opening minute it is about testing each other out, a few feints coming from them along with some inside exchanges when they plant their feet, when they is a moments lull in the action, they are grinning looking to be enjoying this.
Juno tries to step inside but misses as Emily sidesteps to the left of Juno, then pops her into the face with a one-two combo, she keeps to the left side of Temple as she bashes in a few more good clean punches to that stunning face of the Brit.
Who is now finding herself being driven back to the outside of the ring, Emily seems to have the faster hands now they have let them really go, Juno landing really single punches out her guard as Osment is turning up the heat on her.
Final moments of the round sees Juno slip a straight to bang in a right to the body, now she presses in close to Emily, driving her back across the ring with solid body shots, the bell rings as Emily's back touches the ropes, both can't help but grin at each other with a bump of fists to show respect, Emily maybe should be the happier with her work through the middle part of the round.
Round 2:
Looking a little more serious as they step out their corners, now the feeling out process is over, it is down to business as they are definitely putting a little more mustard on their punches, Emily still looking the faster as she is drilling two punches early on to Juno's single efforts into their targets.
Deflecting a jab aside, Juno times her attack beautifully as she steps inside with two hooks to the body, forcing the issue in close as this seems to be where Temple has the advantage, both women going at it hard but Emily needing to back off soon enough.
Soon enough Juno holds the middle of the ring, forcing Emily onto the ropes when she lands a one-two combo of her own onto the chin of the American, then going back to the body with more solid punches that has Nicole looking pleased.
Nudging back Juno with less then a minute to go, Emily lands several good two punch combos into the face of her opponent, with Juno maybe a little too keen after her success to press on, the final moments sees both give the crowd a grandstand finish of fists flying.
At the bell they both turn on their heels to return to their corners, no sportsmanship now as it is all about the victory, Juno getting praised for the good inside work, just being reminded to be careful when she comes inside not to let her guard down.
Round 3:
Needing to change it up somewhat, Emily works more behind a double and even triple jabs, keeping Juno at bay in the opening moments, with Juno needing to move her upper body more not to get caught.
It is becoming more a chess match as Juno does slip inside to get in more punches to that toned body, but she is getting nudged backed to range with more punches landing to her stunning face to make Nicole a little more worried.
Especially when Temple step in closer and takes a right to the side of her head, an uppercut follows to push her onto her heels, Emily opening up with a clean rapid fire four punch combo to the face, some blood runs down from the nostrils of Juno as she ends up pressed to the ropes.
Holding onto Emily, Juno takes the quick respite then breaks cleanly at the order of the referee, now it's Emily's turn to get trigger happy as she misses with a straight and left hook, Juno dances back out the way till she lashes in an overhand left to the jaw.
The round comes to a close with Juno banging her gloves together, annoyed at herself for getting caught out, her nose is worked on by Nicole as across the ring Emily looks excited for more, Neve warning her to keep focused as she walked into one at the end she shouldn't have.
Round 4:
it's another cagey start as Emily has that jab targeting the nose of Juno, who is protecting it quite well early on, dancing around the ring as the "USA!" Chants break out, both women fully focused on the tough fighter in front of them.
Stepping under a straight, Juno rifles in a right to the body followed by a left hook to the ribs, driving back Emily to the ropes, she is getting groans from the younger actress as she pounds in more shots, forcing Emily to hold onto her, like Juno before Emily releases her at the order of the referee without incident.
Next time Juno tries to do that Emily smartly steps back with a double jab to the forehead of Temple, keeping her back as she moves around the ring, the middle part of the round becoming a little cat and mouse affair.
That comes to an end when Juno feints with her left, watching Emily move to the left, she lands a right hook to the jaw that sends a little sweat flying, Osment finds herself being pressed into the ropes again as Juno opens up on her, Emily needing to cover up tight to protect herself.
At the end of the round it is another good round for Juno as they are adapting to each other very well, Nicole happy not to be working on Juno's nose again as she sits on her stool, Neve telling Emily to watch for certain movements to tell her when Juno is going to strike.
Round 5:
Kicking off more quickly, Juno is looking to give Emily not much chance to build up a rhythm, leading to a heated exchange out the gates, Juno pressing back Emily after landing an uppercut, getting her fellow blonde onto the ropes.
Using her left forearm to keep Emily onto the ropes, Juno is pounding in some hard digs that is making Emily start to wince, the crowd rallying behind their girl as she holds onto Temple to get a moments break.
This time they are split up by the referee, Juno's expression changes to one that looks like a predator, sensing she is hurting Emily as she hunts her around the ring, throwing more punches in bunches now to keep Emily near the ropes and corners.
As they enter the final minute, Juno tries to move in closer, Emily spotting it hammers in a right onto the nose, Juno crying out as her head goes back, blood running again from the nostrils as Temple backs up a step, the tables turning as Osment now is the aggressor.
A double jab bangs into the chest of Juno, opening her guard up to another right into that nose, with Emily crowding Juno onto the ropes, switching between the body and throwing uppercuts up top up till the bell rings to end the round, while Juno looked to have took it, Emily certainly has gotten the fans believing again in her as they cheer her.
Round 6:
While her nose isn't bleeding now, Temple is definitely protecting it more, Emily feinting to try to bait her opponent to do something, getting in a good one-two to the face of Juno with a feint.
Knowing she can't sit back, Juno is trying to get back on the front foot, but her earlier back step is allowing Emily to build up a heat of steam, MISSING WITH A RIGHT CROSS, JUNO EATS A RIGHT HOOK ON HER CHIN, A LEFT THEN SLAMS ACROSS HER NOSE! JUNO TUMBLES TO HER LEFT SIDE HOLDING HER NOSE!
What a nasty shot! Emily jogs to the neutral corner with her left hand in the air with some blood staining it, 1...2...3... Juno is kicking the canvas with her left foot as she holds her nose, 4...5...6... Tears running down Temple's face as stays down, 7...8...9...10 that's it! Juno is counted out!
Winner Emily Osment KO Round 6
After:
A great win for Emily as she turns to look at the crowd, smiling as she enjoys the cheers from the crowd, Neve applauding her as the American team is off to the perfect start to getting the cup back.
Meanwhile Juno is helped to sit up, Nicole bringing an icepack in a towel, helping to first stop the blood coming from Juno's nose, then giving her the towel to hold on it to numb the pain she is in.
Over comes Emily after getting her gloves off, kneeling next to Juno as they share a quick check up, Emily admitting her body is sore from those digs she took, Juno telling her "well my nose is worse then your body" both smiling as Emily admits defeat in who has it worse, both women exchange a fist bump of respect.
Helped out the ring by Nicole, Juno is helped to the back to make sure there is no real damage to her nose beyond soreness, Juno gets a round of applause from the crowd, they enjoyed her effort as she gave a good account of herself.
In the ring Emily gets her American flag robe on as she poses for the cameras with her taped fists raised, smiling her beautiful smile as the crowd chant her name, afterwards she gives Neve a big hug and thanks her for the support.
Leaving the ring together, it'll be interesting to see who Emily will fight next, she looked good tonight after a little layoff, Neve patting her on the back as they head to the locker room, a great start for Team USA.
