Joey King vs Millie Bobbie Brown
(Words & Results: Lookout!)
After: Millie winning her first match under the Lookout! banner and in fact, her first match in the FCBA! It’s a big moment for her and she reacts accordingly, leaping up onto the turnbuckles. Pounding her chest and pumping her fist into the air, whooping with excitement as she repeats the process at all four turnbuckles to a roaring crowd, who appear equally enthused about seeing her pull off her first win. Although there are definitely plenty of supporters of Joey King who boo vehemently, but Millie just basks in the glow of her first win. After she celebrates, she intercepts King before she can leave the ring but instead of taking her on a Walk of Shame, she gives her a huge hug. Whispering into her ear as Joey is clearly frustrated, but the two of them exchange a smile as they pull apart. Though as Joey heads out of the ring, it seems like while Mille earned her first win, as she gives a cool stare at Brown, Millie might’ve earned her first rival too. But, for tonight, Millie is just going to enjoy the moment as she high fives the fans and celebrates the first of what will hopefully be many wins for her in the wild and wonderful FCBA!

Round 1: Millie looking for overhand rights - Joey smart as she ducks inside rather than away, countering with thick rights straight to the body, getting her weight behind the blows and driving Brown back. Millie so wild and long with her punches, she's making Joey look like a trained veteran - Joey able to see everything, slip in low, deposit her body shot and back her girl up for points to win round wide.
Round 2: Millie’s gotten it out of her system - little smarter this round. Jab long and strong - she's got stick, Joey has to block respectfully outside. Shorter, straighter right hands, threading it through the guard, testing Joey’s chin, moving HER back this round. King not the same fighter on her heels - she's chipped away at, forced into retreat, but doing a good job with a blocking defense - not hurt as Millie manages to score a close win.
Round 3: Spirited trade at arm's length, favors Brown this time around Henstridge and end of min.1 she catches ALL of King's chin a crashing right cross. Joey’s knees give out, she sags, straightens, clatters to her right - Millie pursuing off the left shoulder, jabbing, jabbing and NAILING another right hand from the sheer angle, driving King to ropes. Joey squaring away in response pushing her left hand in to brace Brown, then drifting in the right hand, hammering a dazed, stunned flurry onto Brown's face. Mille won’t go down as the two of them go hammer and tongs at one another in a phone booth - Millie finally beaming as the two of them are pulled apart.
Round 4: Joey roars back! Millie opening up wide to finish - Joey with her wits about her able to duck inside the strokes, drive right hands blunt into Brown's torso and put her ropeside. Brown doesn't like her rival punching all big girl inside - King tall, but fights compact, staying low, keeping hands free, rotating her shoulders and WORKING in there! Joey really moving her hands and staying busy when she gets in position - it's very effective. Brown discouraged, riding long arms around King’s back, giving away tender ribs and pain-wracked belly to Joey's hungry fists.
Round 5: Both fighters looking tired but motivated, but it’s Millie coming out fast as she follows Joey who is walking to her right, circling towards Brown! Millie the huntress now, stalking Joey, stepping in and pitching overhand rights against foe’s left shoulder to guide her to the ropes, then weaving her head to get past the panicky jab. Millie on the inside, head on King’s chest, hands free - Millie just belting that body, wearing out her foe. King fighting back in spurts, bullying Millie back against the ropes at one point, but Millie battling back. King wobbling, reeling - right arm listless across Brown’s back, Brown just feasting on those right side ribs the hooks, getting a clubbing right to jaw and chest - she's loving it in there! Accumulation has Joey breaking down - chin shots are leaving her windblown, she's cringing from the body shots and KING GOES DOWN! Joey sinking to her haunches, fighting back tears of frustration and hugging at herself and it's OVER! Millie wins her debut match in stunning fashion - Millie Bobbie Brown via KO5!
