Elizabeth Henstridge versus Felicity Jones
Vs
(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)
(Girls Friday vs Free Agent)
Intro:
The following contest sees two of England's brightest talents on screen battling, as Elizabeth Henstridge fighting the debutante girl Felicity Jones on PPV.
The 29 year old Elizabeth made her own debut in the BBU back in August of last year and has 3 wins, all by knockout and 2 losses to big names Vanessa Hudgens and Jane Levy.
Felicity on the other hand is 33 years old and if you didn't know, she just happened to play the lead in the latest Star Wars movie that is still top of the UK film charts.
Neither girl is known for being nasty and it looks like they could be best friends the way they look at the press conference. Both girls hug each other and smile, their eyes though can be seen to the keener viewer looking each other up and down, secretly judging each other. But the smiles do seem genuine as they chat quickly about the weather and giggle, till organisers have to remind in separate the two and it looks an extremely rare case that the girls are pouting over not being able to talk to the girl they are going to knock seven bells out of in less than 24 hours.
Elizabeth being the experienced girl at these events is asked to speak first and as always, she shows some of that shyness, but it doesn't look as pronounced as it was several months ago. "Hi" starts Elizabeth as she waves to the journalists, "well it's interesting not to fight a girl who is in my face, talking all the time" says the Sheffield beauty as she hints about her last opponent Ksenia Solo's constant insults. "Felicity seems a good sport and from what I have been told, she can fight, so I expect a good fight and if I can be a good first opponent here like Vanessa Hudgens was for me, I'll be happy" adds Elizabeth. As a journalist shouts "do you not want to win!" Which she answers "well yes silly, but I don't want their to be any ill feeling when we clearly get along"
Felicity smiles warmly, now though it's her time to talk and she doesn't look anywhere as shy as Elizabeth, in fact she looks confident from all the red carpet events she's done these past few months and all the interviews in magazines.
"Elizabeth is right, I don't want us to be at each others throats, she is an honest person and I know there are not many of us left in this business" says Felicity as she nods at Henstridge in respect. "But this is a fight and I can go when needs be, so can Elizabeth, so don't think this is going to be too friendly, we fight for pride and victory in the ring, while we can share a drink afterwards in either of our locker rooms" adds the Birmingham native. But before the journalist can asks her if she wants to win, she finishes with "I hope the party will be in my locker room of course after my hand is raised"
Both girls meet for the final staredown, each looks serious as they know what must be done and friendship will be put aside soon. The girls hug though and go off in separate directions as tonight will
be any last bit of training and going over video, which of course is nigh on impossible for Henstridge, whose working off not much, so all eyes will be on how she deals with a new girl herself.
Fight night, Elizabeth comes out first, she is wearing a black T-shirt her fans sent her with "the master of the sweet science" written in white with her name in italics above.
She walks down to the ring with Taryn Terrell and Eva Carneiro by her side, as she notes her fan base at ringside and bumps fists with them. Entering the ring, Taryn looking annoyed by all the spectacle, helps Elizabeth with her top off to reveal a black sports bra, black trucks with a agents of shield badge in white on the right leg and a GF badge on the other leg, she completes the look with black gloves and shoes. Out comes Felicity now, she looks excited to fight, bouncing on her toes on top of the ramp as she gets a loud cheer. Coming down to the ring with her coach, she nods to the Henstridge fan base and looks to the other side of the ramp to see girls with T-shirts with her face on and "may the force be with you on" she doesn't really think of copyright at the moment, just excited to have fans so soon and she hasn't threw a punch yet. She climbs into the ring wearing a white sports bra, white trunks with a black rebel alliance badge on her left leg, she has black trim to and finishes her look with a white set of gloves and shoes.
Both are led to the ring centre with their coaches behind them, each girl stands close by but not hostility shown yet, just both girls focused on what they have to do. The referee finishes his instructions and asks for a glove touch, some pundits are expecting a hug from these two, instead they give each other a hard bang of gloves, but wish each other luck. Then after heading back to their corners, they get their gumshields in and a pat on the back from their coaches and the referee rings the bell to begin 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1:
Off we go, both girls dancing around each other, slight smiles behind
their guards as they test each other out with shots that are harder
than love taps.
Elizabeth's slight height advantage is allowing her to land the
cleaner shots through the guard of Felicity, getting early grins from
her corner team.
That changes when Felicity lands a quick three punch combo up top,
Elizabeth tries to land a counterpunch, but Jones shows she has been
listening to her coach, stepping out of the range of Henstridge to
cause her to miss.
Felicity lands a stinging jab to Elizabeth's nose, the Sheffield girl
trying to catch her opponent with a right cross, just about missing
over the top of the older woman's head.
Jones dancing on her toes, looking quickly flexibility as she leans
out the way of Elizabeth's punches and connecting with her own shots
to the body and head.
Working her timing out, Elizabeth flicks her jab out as a measuring
stick, then once she hits with it, she quickly steps in with her right
and the girls start exchanging short sharp punches.
The once smiling girls, now fully serious and landing hard body shots
to get the others attention, before both girls separate, circling on
the tips of their toes.
Each girl now in a rhythm, using their heads to move out the way of
the others punches, lashing out shots to the others bodies.
The round ends with both girls sharing a quick smile, bumping gloves
to show respect to each other, before jogging back to their corners.
Felicity getting praise from her coach for a good start to her career,
telling her to keep her focus and stick to the gameplan.
Elizabeth still smiling but knowing she has to get out the blocks
quicker, nodding to Taryn, who is in her drill commander mode, telling
Elizabeth to get her ass in gear.
Round 2:
Both girls return to box it out around the centre of the ring, trading
on the outside, working with single punches at first to try and poke a
hole through the others defences.
Felicity comes forward the fast of the two once again, landing two
digging shots to the side of Elizabeth's body to the delight of her
fans.
But as she tries to escape to a safe range this time, Elizabeth steps
forward, landing a right cross and follow up left to rattle Jones
back.
The girls seem to be so equal, striking each other with fast strikes
past the others guards, dancing around each other other on the balls
of their toes.
Elizabeth breaks the deadlock this round, parrying a right hand, she
cracks her left straight through the gap left behind and then with her
head down, follows up with a well drilled body attack, several short
punches to the centre of Jones body, making her have to step back to
get out the way of the body assault.
Felicity to her credit, lands a good straight punch to show she isn't
going to run away from this fight over one bad moment.
Again the girls seem to cancel each other out, trading shots to the
others heads, getting more serious with each punch that lands.
Not long left in the round, both girls know it and plant their feet
more, heads down and start lashing shots to the others bodies and
heads.
A roar sounds from the crowd as the two girls start and trade, with
around 15 seconds to go, Elizabeth shows her slight experience
advantage, stepping back and landing an uppercut to knock Felicity's
head back, a big opening appears for Henstridge, but the bell rings
before she can make the most of it.
This time no glove taps, both know how they feel for the other, they
also know they have to win this fight, so jog back to their corners,
with both corners working to clean up their faces, a pink hue starting
to form on both girls cheeks already.
Round 3:
The enthusiasm of both girls seems to have not disappeared yet, both
girls still light on their feet, dancing around each other and landing
at midrange.
But the fight is becoming more aggressive, both girls searching to get
inside, forcing feisty exchange between both girls.
Both flyweights getting in close and ripping short punches to the
others bodies, then sneaking shots up top, uppercuts just about
connecting, then they fall into a clinch.
No pushing or shoving, both sportsmanlike separate when prompted by
the referee, but Felicity is the first to rush forward when told to
fight.
Jones lands a good inside right hand, then a three punch combo to the
body of Elizabeth, the younger girl winces as she backs up a step.
Felicity doesn't stop there, using her jab, she doubles up on it and
presses forwards with it to keep Elizabeth on her heels.
Elizabeth just about covering up, till she takes a hard right cross
that turns her head around, suddenly the crowd can smell blood in the
water and Felicity tries to batter Henstridge back to the ropes.
But with not long left in the round, Elizabeth does enough to step out
of the way of the mad charge from Felicity, then crack her with a left
cross and force both girls to brawl it out till the bell rings.
Both girls return to their corners with no fuss, their coaches don't
look too impressed, telling the girls to stick to the gameplan,
instead they're starting to brawl it out.
Taryn especially doesn't look happy, telling her girl "you're letting
her walk all over you in those exchanges, forget your friends and
smash her face in"
Elizabeth doesn't look like she can do that though, just staring at
her blonde coach, then looks at Felicity with a slight confused look,
but she finally nods at Taryn as the bell rings.
Round 4:
Out come the girls quickly, Elizabeth is on the attack right from the
first exchange between the two, Felicity clearly expecting to step out
the pocket with ease, instead finds Henstridge in her face.
The girls trading hard shots, Elizabeth roughing up Felicity to the
body, landing two hard hooks to her sides, Felicity gasping in pain,
but lands a good right cross to slow the assault from Elizabeth.
The respite doesn't last long, Elizabeth starting to pressure Felicity
into mistakes, the older but more inexperienced fighter misses with a
right hook and eats a double jab to her lips for her haste.
The crowd cheering their favourites on as Elizabeth lands another good
three punch combo, two to the body then lands an overhand right to
wobble Felicity.
Henstridge tries to go for the head of Felicity, but gets wrapped up
in a clinch, this time with both girls trying to power the other
backwards, winning seeming to take precedent over emotions.
The referee has to pry both girls apart, with Felicity surprising
Elizabeth again by coming forward the quicker, almost gliding forwards
to land a right hook to rattle Henstridge now.
Back and forth go the girls, cheeks looking puffy now from the others
assault, the girls almost screaming at each other under each shot they
deliver.
The bell rings with both girls standing nose to nose, almost
questioning the other with their body language, how far will you go to
win, till the referee pries the girls apart and they head to their
corners.
Both girls stare hard across the ring as they get their faces cleaned
up, bruising starting to form on their cheeks as the girls try to make
the other psychologically back down from this fight.
Round 5:
Felicity covers up in the early going, Elizabeth shedding her
introvert personality to go on the attack with some real venom on her
punches.
But she gets caught with a counter right cross to turn her head, a
clear warning shot that she doesn't heed as she keeps trying to keep
Jones on the back foot.
That leads to a stand off, both girls pounding each others sides and
then Felicity steps back and cracks a hard right hook that hits the
unbalanced Elizabeth square on her cheek and don't goes Henstridge to
her side.
Felicity doesn't celebrate just yet, happy to head to a neutral corner
and wait for the referees count, while Elizabeth shakes her head and
looks over to her corner for reassurance.
Taryn shouts for her to get off her ass! Which by the count of 6,
Elizabeth starts doing and beats the count at 8 to the delight of her
fans, but she is still clearing some cobwebs from her head.
Felicity comes charging in when given the chance, working the body of
Elizabeth, whose covering up her head, Jones getting too close in
which allows Henstridge to grab onto her in a tight clinch.
The referee separates the two girls and Elizabeth gets onto her bike,
covering up as Felicity continues to look for the finish.
But Felicity walks into a counter right to the centre of her stomach,
winding her and now the two fighters are clinched, both hurting
judging by their faces, both sets of fans worried for their geek icon.
The referee again pries the girls apart and the rest of the round is
fought with single punches being exchange, that doesn't last long as
the bell rings to end the round.
Both girls look relieved to get out that round, especially Elizabeth,
Taryn is chewing her ass off, shouting "what the hell was that?! Come
on Liz, did I train you to fight or dance around?!"
Elizabeth nods at Taryn, looking sheepish as she does, Eva looks at
Taryn unimpressed by her methods, but quickly gets to work fixing up
her fighter.
Felicity meanwhile looks slightly shell shocked, she had Elizabeth,
but then found herself hurting due to a body shot that caught her
unaware, her coach is more interested in fixing her up, the only
advice is "keep on top of her, you've got her hurting"
Round 6:
Out come both fighters, still both look weary of each other now, but
Felicity shows confidence after the knockdown in the last round to
work her way forward with hard straights and jabs.
But Elizabeth is on the defensive, parrying shots as she works on the
back foot, then she lands a hard counter to the body of Jones, causing
her to gasp and she starts retreating.
Seeing her chance, Elizabeth strikes forward, keeping her distance as
she doesn't want to get caught, the two girls exchange left handed
jabs but Elizabeth swoops in with a right to the body, causing
Felicity to cover up.
Now Henstridge is on the attack, pounding the arms of Felicity, both
girls looking desperate in their movements, one looking to end this,
the other to keep this fight alive.
Felicity finds a way to clinch up, the girls grappling onto the ropes,
pushing each other against them, swapping places till the ref
separates the two.
Looking each other up and down, both friends are going to be sore as
they are marked up from this fight, neither legs have much zip to them
as before.
That doesn't stop the girls trading in tight, cheeks touching as they
slug it out to the others bodies, both girls eyes are half open,
fighting back tears from the punishment they've dealt each other.
Elizabeth steps out of the slugging contest to land a hard right over
the top to rattle Jones, the Star Wars star's legs wobble and she's
backed towards the ropes.
Felicity covering up as Henstridge uses her punches sparingly, knowing
there's not much time yet and prove right as the bell rings to end the
round.
Both girls almost look sorry that they've had to beat each other as
badly, but they steel themselves to return to their corners, both
girls sliding into their stools, heads down, not wanting to feel sorry
for each other, keeping the others face out of their minds, thinking
of winning this fight as soon as possible.
Round 7:
Stepping out of their corners, the girls come to the ring centre,
dancing on their toes as best they can, the girls trade jabs, looking
for the opening they need to end this fight.
Elizabeth steps into a hard straight, her eyes start watering and
Felicity comes forward, head down, she unleashes two hard body shots.
Till Henstridge lands a good shot of her own to the centre of Jones
body, her opponent rests her head on her shoulder, as both girls suck
it up and separate to fight hard.
Felicity tries to land a right cross, but takes a straight to her nose
and a left to the body, causing Jones eyes to shut and her to retreat
with a hopeful jab as her defence.
But Elizabeth cracks Felicity with a right hook to the temple, the
fighter from Birmingham's legs wobbles and her guard falls, leaving
her open to a right to her body.
Down goes Felicity to her knees first, then her back! Pain etched
across her face as Elizabeth slowly heads to a neutral corner.
The referee counting Felicity, but Jones can barely open her eyes from
the pain she's in, instead the referee reaches 10 while she lays on
her back to end the fight.
Winner: Elizabeth Henstridge KO Round 7
After:
Elizabeth pulls the win out after a hard fought contest, but she isn't interested in celebrating this win, instead she kneels down next to Felicity to check how she is.
Felicity looks up through one eye and asks Elizabeth "does it always hurt like this?" Which gets a smile from Henstridge, who falls next to Jones on her back.
The two friends hurting, but smiling now the fight is over, sharing a pained look but proud of the fight they gave each other. Their coaches come out and take their gloves off as Eva gives both a drink of water, after a moment of the fighters resting up, they are helped up to a round of applause. The final announcements are made with the girls being helped to stand by their coaches, after her name is shouted out as the winner, Elizabeth walks over her own power to hug Felicity. Before Felicity is helped from the ring to loud cheers from her fan base, pundits are sure this isn't the last we've seen of the rising star and this performance will certainly help her cause.
Elizabeth in the ring, gets a loud cheer, being helped by Taryn, she waves to her fans, before the girls leave the ring and head to the back.
She's too tired to tell the journalists anything at that point, but she later tells them outside the Girls Friday locker room "Felicity showed why she has the love of so many people, she's kicking ass on screen and she beat mine too"
She adds a rousing "but I hope this win continues to proves that anyone can win, whether you are natural athletic or work on it as I do"
Before finishing by saying "I hope me and Felicity can meet in the ring one more time, but with either or us as champion" with a wink and heads back into the lockers to finish getting a massage, with Felicity being allowed to stay in the locker room with the girls from Elizabeth's stable fussing around the movie star.

But Elizabeth is on the defensive, parrying shots as she works on the
back foot, then she lands a hard counter to the body of Jones, causing
her to gasp and she starts retreating.
Seeing her chance, Elizabeth strikes forward, keeping her distance as
she doesn't want to get caught, the two girls exchange left handed
jabs but Elizabeth swoops in with a right to the body, causing
Felicity to cover up.
Now Henstridge is on the attack, pounding the arms of Felicity, both
girls looking desperate in their movements, one looking to end this,
the other to keep this fight alive.
Felicity finds a way to clinch up, the girls grappling onto the ropes,
pushing each other against them, swapping places till the ref
separates the two.
Looking each other up and down, both friends are going to be sore as
they are marked up from this fight, neither legs have much zip to them
as before.
That doesn't stop the girls trading in tight, cheeks touching as they
slug it out to the others bodies, both girls eyes are half open,
fighting back tears from the punishment they've dealt each other.
Elizabeth steps out of the slugging contest to land a hard right over
the top to rattle Jones, the Star Wars star's legs wobble and she's
backed towards the ropes.
Felicity covering up as Henstridge uses her punches sparingly, knowing
there's not much time yet and prove right as the bell rings to end the
round.
Both girls almost look sorry that they've had to beat each other as
badly, but they steel themselves to return to their corners, both
girls sliding into their stools, heads down, not wanting to feel sorry
for each other, keeping the others face out of their minds, thinking
of winning this fight as soon as possible.
Round 7:
Stepping out of their corners, the girls come to the ring centre,
dancing on their toes as best they can, the girls trade jabs, looking
for the opening they need to end this fight.
Elizabeth steps into a hard straight, her eyes start watering and
Felicity comes forward, head down, she unleashes two hard body shots.
Till Henstridge lands a good shot of her own to the centre of Jones
body, her opponent rests her head on her shoulder, as both girls suck
it up and separate to fight hard.
Felicity tries to land a right cross, but takes a straight to her nose
and a left to the body, causing Jones eyes to shut and her to retreat
with a hopeful jab as her defence.
But Elizabeth cracks Felicity with a right hook to the temple, the
fighter from Birmingham's legs wobbles and her guard falls, leaving
her open to a right to her body.
Down goes Felicity to her knees first, then her back! Pain etched
across her face as Elizabeth slowly heads to a neutral corner.
The referee counting Felicity, but Jones can barely open her eyes from
the pain she's in, instead the referee reaches 10 while she lays on
her back to end the fight.
Winner: Elizabeth Henstridge KO Round 7
After:
Elizabeth pulls the win out after a hard fought contest, but she isn't interested in celebrating this win, instead she kneels down next to Felicity to check how she is.
Felicity looks up through one eye and asks Elizabeth "does it always hurt like this?" Which gets a smile from Henstridge, who falls next to Jones on her back.
The two friends hurting, but smiling now the fight is over, sharing a pained look but proud of the fight they gave each other. Their coaches come out and take their gloves off as Eva gives both a drink of water, after a moment of the fighters resting up, they are helped up to a round of applause. The final announcements are made with the girls being helped to stand by their coaches, after her name is shouted out as the winner, Elizabeth walks over her own power to hug Felicity. Before Felicity is helped from the ring to loud cheers from her fan base, pundits are sure this isn't the last we've seen of the rising star and this performance will certainly help her cause.
Elizabeth in the ring, gets a loud cheer, being helped by Taryn, she waves to her fans, before the girls leave the ring and head to the back.
She's too tired to tell the journalists anything at that point, but she later tells them outside the Girls Friday locker room "Felicity showed why she has the love of so many people, she's kicking ass on screen and she beat mine too"
She adds a rousing "but I hope this win continues to proves that anyone can win, whether you are natural athletic or work on it as I do"
Before finishing by saying "I hope me and Felicity can meet in the ring one more time, but with either or us as champion" with a wink and heads back into the lockers to finish getting a massage, with Felicity being allowed to stay in the locker room with the girls from Elizabeth's stable fussing around the movie star.
