Intro:
For the second time in their legendary careers, Rachel McAdams and Evangeline Lilly clash in the ring, they first fought back in 2019 when Evangeline knocked out Rachel in a barn stormer, nine rounds it took that night, who will win tonight in Arizona's Gila River Arena?
As each entered the arena they were met by the FCBA Networks Layla Anna-Lee, first up was Rachel wearing a red dress as she has her coach Virginia Madsen carrying her bag over her shoulder, the long time friends chatting away till they see the cameras and Layla in their way, stopping as Rachel shakes the interviewers hand while exchanging pleasantries.
"I'll give Evangeline that first fight was a hell of a clash, she pushed me hard from bell to bell, this time things are different, this time Evangeline is on her knees and I am ready to give her a push to send her towards retirement" Rachel says with a wink, talking about Evangeline's struggles for wins over the past year.
Virginia adds "I am glad to see Evangeline getting put on her ass, she has proclaimed herself the greatest bantamweight, the reality is she never was the best and she tries to cling onto her youth, do us all a favour and hang up the gloves" both Foxfire girls grinning as they walk away.
Evangeline is next up carrying her bag as she walks in wearing a white blouse, blue denim jeans and black heels, waving to Layla as she walks towards her, telling Layla "I am sick of hearing the retirement calls, I'll keep this simple Layla, I am here to remind Rachel where she ranks in the greats and the rest of this division why I'm the one you don't disrespect" heading off after nodding to Layla.
Fighting time with Rachel first through the curtain, she is wearing a white sports bra with red trim, white trunks with her surname in red letters on the waistband, red gloves, red shoes with white laces, her hair is tied into a ponytail with a white ribbon holding it, getting inside the ring not long after, Rachel nods to Virginia as they discuss the tactics for tonight.
Now here comes Evangeline with Julie Benz working her corner, the Hall of Famer thuds her black gloves together as she heads down the aisle, eyes on the ring as she looks her usual intense self, her attire is a black sports bra with white trim, matching trunks and shoes, hair tied into a ponytail too, she climbs through the ropes and stretches as she glares over at her opponent.
Brought to the medium of the ring by the referee, both women lock eyes in an intense stare, neither blinking as they show no fear for their opponent, when told to touch gloves, they crack their gloves into their opponent's set, jogging back to their corners as the crowd roars for both, soon enough the bell rings to start 10 round of bantamweight action.
Round 1:
At the bell both women kick off the action circling looking for openings, each using their experience along with a hard jab to hammer through gaps they see in the others defences, Evangeline getting caught early on when she looks to up the tempo by stepping inside, being caught on her nose or forehead by straight shots as McAdams dances back to keep them at range.
As Rachel keeps trying to move back to create space, she inadvertently gives her opponent an opening, Evangeline deflects a straight to ram in a straight to Rachel's face, then drives Rachel onto the ropes close behind her, banging away to the body as her head nearly clashes with Rachel's, who fires back till she realises it is futile in the positions they are in, instead pulling Evangeline into a tight clinch, forcing the referee to break them up.
That seems to have spurred McAdams on, she starts to catch Evangeline with more two punch combos, using her footwork as well to drive her punches into the cheeks of the raven haired fighter, who isn't landing as cleanly now, Evangeline drills in two punches to the chest of Rachel to slow her down, still she eats a left cross to her cheek as her right hand dips down.
While Evangeline had a good period of control early in the round, she is struggling to finish strongly as Rachel is slamming in her punches through the mitts of Lilly, snapping her head back as she looks the more mobile of the two, at the bell Rachel nods to Virginia as she jogs back to her corner, believing she took the first, Evangeline has her poker face on as she returns to her own corner.
Round 2:
Back out come the fighters now slinging in more punches, Rachel giving her opponent an early headache with several clean double jabs landing smack into her face, causing Evangeline to swing in a couple of uncharacteristic wild hooks, Rachel easily dodging them then smacking Evangeline with clean counter punches to the face.
That forces Lilly to tighten her guard up, Rachel then moves to jabbing at the body of Evangeline, testing out her abs as Virginia applauds her, loving this as Rachel looks to be so much more confident right now, Evangeline seems to be moving in trickle as she is tense, landing some good shots but not opening up even when chances appear to be presenting themselves.
A double jab again smacks back Evangeline, this time as Rachel steps in to drive her to the ropes, Evangeline comes firing back, maybe she was playing possum as she catches McAdams with a left cross, followed by a straight into her forehead to knock back the Foxfire fighter.
Rachel late in the round needing to fight near the ropes, Evangeline now the one trying to force the issue, again though Rachel is enjoying this as Evangeline opens up her guard again, a left cross gives first blood to McAdams as she cuts Lilly's bottom lip, at the bell Rachel jogging back to her stool looking relaxed, Evangeline getting wiped down as Julie asks if she is OK.
Round 3:
Trading stiff single punches to start, Rachel ducks down now to hammer in hooks to the body, dancing back or to the side when she gets clipped around her head, Rachel keeps changing her she is attacking Evangeline, giving the Marvel star a headache as she can't pin down Rachel that successfully.
A jab catches Evangeline under her chin to knock back her head, she is being pushed back towards a corner, where she swings in a left hook that misses as Rachel crouches under it, INSTEAD AN OVERHAND LEFT SMACKS EVANGELINE'S HEAD AROUND, FOLLOWED BY A RIGHT TO SEND HER STUMBLING TO HER BACK!
The crowd roar as Rachel jogs over to a neutral corner, grinning as she watches the count 1...2...3.. With Evangeline rubbing her jaw on her back, 4...5...6.. Turning to her front, 7... Evangeline grabs the middle ropes in the corner in front of her, 8.. It's her own corner as Julie wills her to stand, using the ropes she does, Evangeline raising her gloves as Rachel grins.
They continue with Evangeline shelling up, boxing off the back foot as Rachel looks to end this now, smartly not charging in knowing how wily Evangeline is, Rachel digging in punches around the abs of her rival again to get groans, a left cross catches her flush in return to make her thing about it.
Julie shockingly had the towel gripped tightly in her hand, she drops it back to the steel steps as she sees Evangeline defending herself, frustrating Rachel by landing clean shots off the back foot, Rachel maybe getting too open trying to earn revenge, at the bell McAdams still raises her arms in the air to show Evangeline who won this round, when Lilly returns to her corner, she is met by a furious Julie, who tells her to ship up or maybe ship out, making Evangeline grit her mouthpiece just before the bell.
Round 4:
Maybe it's the knockdown or the frank talk she got from her coach, Evangeline looks a little more loose as she fights Rachel, both drilling in shots through the others mitts, this time though Evangeline leans out the way of an overhand left, smacking Rachel across her cheek with a right cross to send a little sweat from her brow.
Driving back Rachel to the ropes, Evangeline bangs away to the body again, wanting to take the legs out from under McAdams, who gives Lilly a shove, followed by a one-two to those bloody lips to make Evangeline back off, Rachel showing she still can control the flow of this fight as she backs up her rival to the middle of the ring.
Problem for Rachel is at the half way stage of the round, she misses again as Evangeline deflects a right cross, then pounds in a counter straight onto the nose of the Foxfire fighter, a left hook then turns Rachel's head, who finds herself backed to the ropes again, the body shots making her grit her mouthpiece till she can clinch up Lilly.
Broken up with under a minute to go, Rachel looks a little unsure now, she has dominated till now, where Evangeline uses those moments of doubt to catch Rachel out with counter punches, back into a neutral corner goes Rachel after eating a jab, followed by a right cross flush on her chin, the round comes to a close with Rachel shaking her head in disbelief, Evangeline takes a breath to keep herself cool as she sits on her stool, Julie nodding to her with an intense look.
Round 5:
Starting off slugging it out, Rachel looks like she wants to hurt Evangeline early to remind her whose being on her back in this fight, Evangeline giving ground as she gets more claret flowing from her bottom lip now, moving backwards as the crowd roar.
A missed straight by Rachel leaves her open to an uppercut to the body, then a clubbing left hook to the side of her head, Evangeline roaring back now as she forces Rachel to the ropes, more body work coming in as those earlier shots to the body seem to be slowly taking effect, Rachel gasping till she can drag Evangeline into a tight clinch.
Separated by the referee, they resume with eyes locked, both slinging in hard straights, Evangeline aiming a few more at the chest of Rachel to make her hiss, a wild look coming on McAdams face as she starts throwing more loaded up punches that find thin air.
Instead late in the round another uppercut slams into her body, she groans out as her cheeks are lightly turning red, Evangeline beating her into a neutral corner, forehead shoved into Rachel's face as her fists thud repeatedly around the waistband area of Rachel, at the bell Virginia is yelling at the referee, not happy at what they say were several low blows, the referee warns the Lookout camp about watching where she hits but no warning beyond that, Rachel's demeanor has total changed as she knows she is firmly in a fight now.
Round 6:
Again trying to push the pace early on, Rachel is getting clipped to her face as she clips Evangeline's, neither able to land a solid blow in the opening moments, showing their experience at the moment, moving to dodge punches and fire back their own.
A feint by Evangeline is bitten on by Rachel, who instead of a jab upstairs gets a straight right into her liver area, Rachel cries out as she bends over, an overhand left smacks her right on the chin as she looks to be hurting now, EVANGELINE DRIVES HER TO THE ROPES, WHERE SHE HAMMERS AWAY TO THE BODY TILL RACHEL FALLS TO HER KNEE CRADLING HER STOMACH!
Evangeline heads to the neutral corner with her supporters in full voice, Virginia looks in shock, 1...2...3.. Rachel turns to all fours, breathing hard as her gumshield comes out, 4...5...6.. Rachel is being urged by Virginia to get up, 7...8... She looks in real pain there, 9...10 that's it! It's over!
Winner Evangeline Lilly KO Round 6
After:
Never doubt the toughness of Evangeline Lilly! That was a hell of a comeback as she returns to her stool, happy to sit down as Julie yells "that was f**king amazing!" In shock herself that Evangeline could turn the ship around like that, Evangeline getting a drink as she asks "you doubted me?" A rye smile on her face as Julie grins at her.
Rachel on the other hand gets an icepack to her stomach, she gingerly moves into a kneeling position, Rachel shaking her head as Virginia tells her "the referee is blind not to see she was hitting you low, that was bullsh*t!" The referee checking on Rachel gets an earful from a furious Madsen.
Julie shakes her head hearing her opposite number complaining, Evangeline has her gloves taken off admitting "I am sore all over" smiling as she shuts her eyes and tilts her head back, then pushes to her feet to head to the center of the ring as Virginia still is complaining.
Showing not much if any respect to her fallen opponent, Evangeline gets her right hand raised with her back to Rachel, Virginia shakes her head yelling "cow!" At the winner, who then tells cameras "never write me off or you see what happens" pointing at Rachel behind her, before she leaves the ring with Julie, making her point clear that she isn't done yet.
Rachel meanwhile has to be helped to her feet by Virginia, both furious at what happened, even as her fans applaud her effort, this one doesn't feel over as Rachel is helped to the back, this is becoming personal between the two legends.
