(Words: ABC / Results: Lookout!)

Pre-fight:
Empire’s Katie Cassidy looking confident despite getting set to take on multi-time bantamweight champion Emily VanCamp of renowned Lookout Boxing stable. Emily recently handed Melissa Benoist a nap in a Marvel vs DC battle, and now she looks to continue the trend against Arrow (DC) hottie, Katie.

Emily may not have the title at the moment, but she sure seems to think she’s just as deserving as ever. “I beat Subpargirl, I’m sure I can pick apart some weak songbird. She hasn’t had a win this year, and I haven’t had a loss. Does she really expect that to change? I’m bantamweight champ material. If she was worthy to face me, she would have at least challenged for the title by now.”

Katie nonplussed by Emily’s words, clearly focused on what she needs to do tonight to get a victory. “Em’s arrogance will be her downfall. She’ll never see me coming, because she’ll be too busy admiring herself. I WILL knock her out, and take great pride in doing so. I’ll have a title chance before she gets another. Mark my words.”

Round 1:
Emily wants to be the aggressor early, leading with some jabs, testing Katie’s guard, which holds up with no problem. Em decides to throw a hook then, which is mostly guarded, but the follow-up cross glances off Cassidy’s cheek, alerting her quickly to the dangers of going toe-to-toe with the former champ. Katie nevertheless responds with boldness, slamming a fist into tight VanCamp tummy only to be re-gifted with a blow to her own midriff that sucks all the air from her. Em presses and finds a couple more gloves to stuff into Katie’s firm abs. Katie puffing hard as she takes a seat after the first.

Round 2:
Emily is a perfect picture of confidence as she wails on a seemingly unprepared Katie. DC honey takes a battering to midriff again, then pretty cheek, and finally Em unloads an uppercut that has the beauty stumbling and shortly dropping to her shapely bum on the mat. Katie tries to clear the cobwebs as she slowly picks herself back up, and she looks understandably tentative. If she didn’t respect Emily’s prowess before, she sure does now! She basically turtles, waiting for the bell as Em rushes her, thinking she can send the talented bantam to sleep almost before this fight has even begun. She doesn’t, though Katie looks battered already as she sits down heavily in her corner, breathing deeply, trying to refocus herself.

Round 3:
Emily continues to look a billion dollars as we enter the third, chugging underarms away at Katie’s softening abdomen. Katie wobbling, trying to guard, but Em moving that much better right now, she can’t keep up. Katie’s temple takes a left overhand, then a right cross smacks onto her lips, damaging her. Katie looks confused. Not necessarily worried, just gobsmacked, literally, at how strong Em’s game is. Katie knows she has to change something. But Em isn’t giving her an inch, knowing better. Katie manages to find pretty Em cheek with a jab, but it isn’t really going to hurt her. Em responds dominantly with a straight that flattens Katie jug, getting a wince from her and perhaps breaking her resolve. Maybe the fourth will tell as Katie escapes more of those thanks to the bell.

Round 4:
Katie comes in looking determined, willing to try new tactics, but a shovel towards the ribs only gives Em a chance to slam an overhand that cracks against Cassidy’s skull, staggering her. Em comes in swinging, but Katie gets the guard up just in time, and after absorbing a few haymakers, manages to fake left, slip right, and hammer a WILD cross that somehow connects solidly through Emily’s shocked jawline. Emily is sent to the mat, and the crowd is on their feet at this shocking development. Emily is picking herself back up, but to say she looks surprised is a vast understatement.

Round 5:
Katie seems to have evened things up with that surprise blow and Emily looks slightly less sure now. Still, VanCamp presses, trying to return the big haymaker, but Katie sees her coming and reads perfectly, slipping again to slam a fist into unprotected jug, dropping Em’s confidence perhaps a little lower as impressive orb is thudded, and then again. Em wincing, but jabbing back, keeping Katie aware with a pop on the chin that tests for glassjawitis. No signs, and Katie continues to throw hooks at Em’s midriff, taking ribs occasionally, but Em tightening up the defences, particularly as a few gloves stray a little close to those firm jugs again. When both fighters take a seat, we have a mixture of tired bodies but still confident, determined looks from each.

Round 6:
Em swings and Katie ducks, only to flash a straight into Em’s tight tummy and then rise up with a thundering uppercut that glances between beautiful jugs and slams under Em’s chin. Em staggered and wobbly, but remarkably still standing. Katie takes the earned opportunity to go to work, peppering cute face and now sore ribs as Em reels, trying to defend and get things under control. She does eventually, but she has taken a battering before she manages to block and counter, popping quick jabs to Katie’s eye. Em thankful for the round to end and she plops into her corner, shaking her head and rubbing at her torso.

Round 7:
Katie ducks an incoming overhand again, but turns out it’s a fake and the ploy works, Em slamming left hook flush against right side of Katie’s face as she lowers. Katie stumbles sideways, then backpedals, and Em opens up, ripping lefts and rights on the chase, cracking her gloves into Katie’s face, bruising her, and then picking up sweet jug in a little revenge mode. Katie looking miserable for a few minutes as Em basically has her way, only without the desired result. Em slams her adversary’s face again and again, and does her best to soften ribs and jugs. Katie doing well to still be standing after that onslaught and if you could bottle resolve, these two fighters would be worth gold.

Round 8:
Katie probably would have liked longer to recover, and despite expecting another onslaught from Em, doesn’t seem to have the tools to stop her. Em goes wide to rib, then doubles back and snaps a jab that pops Katie’s head back, and as she tilts forward again, BAM! Emily finds her flush in the centre of the face with a staggering straight fist. Katie crumbles, gloves reaching for face as the impact is obviously serious. Em watching, confident, smug grin on her face, but somehow Katie has her feet under her at the 9 mark, and Em groans in frustration as she jumps back into the fray. Haymakers clock Katie and it’s yet to be seen whether there’s still a pretty face under all that blood. We can hope, anyway. Katie stumbling, bouncing off the ropes, turtling and wincing the round away, somehow staying atop shaky limbs. Emily visibly frustrated as she storms to her corner. Katie barely making it to hers, and the cut man really doesn’t have enough time to help her out as much as she needs.

Round 9:
Hard to tell how much Katie can see through swollen eye and blood, and it gets worse as Emily snaps jabs at that disrespected face, but Cassidy persists, perhaps using the thud of Emily’s punches to work out where she is. Katie perhaps with a little Marvel in her after all as she goes full Daredevil, lashing out blindly, but collecting Em and forcing her to guard up. A straight from Em crashes into that dishevelled face again, but Katie absorbs, twists, and comes instantly back, punching through a straight right that HAMMERS surprised Emily smack in the mouth. Emily wobbles back and forth for a moment, then Katie, swinging blindly for the fences, cracks a haymaker against Emily’s face. Emily wobbles back again before her gaze goes steady and she timbers backwards to the mat, out of it. Katie needing a hand to find her corner after the win, but there is a sly grin once she realizes she’s achieved the near impossible; dropping a dominating Emily VanCamp. Katie Cassidy wins, KO9!

Post-fight:

The crowd is going mental as Katie raises her fists in victory. It was a battle for the ages, and many are surprised to see Katie get through that one alive, but she has showed more than just a little bit of moxie taking out a very impressive Emily VanCamp. Any woman watching that fight would be rightfully nervous about meeting either competitor in the ring. What a display!

Katie Cassidy is being tended to by the medics, but her whole face is smiling, swollen eye and all. “I did it! Who’s champ material now, you arrogant bytch? Hope you enjoyed your nap, Em. If you ever get sleepy again, you know where to find me.”

Emily VanCamp visibly frustrated, not willing to accept her fate. “I’m still better than the little upstart. She got lucky, that’s what she did. I was winning by every definition of the word, and then she got lucky. But lightning doesn’t strike twice, and she’ll never get that lucky again.”
