Lily Collins versus Sarah Hyland
(Results: Lookout!, Words: Cas)

Before: Lily dismissive of the Modern Family star’s chances from the get-go. “I’m sorry, but her show is NOT funny. I don't get American humour at all. And yes, that's ‘humour’ a ‘u’. Bite me.”

Sarah Hyland smirking once she hears the City of Bones star’s comments. “Lily is a failure, pure and simple. She says she’s here to clean us Americans out, but today I’m gonna compact her body and take out the trash.”

Lily approaches the ring in classic black bikini, green-laced gloves; Sarah in hot red two-piece, white gloves.

Round 1: Bell rings - both flyweights eager to get started, quick to shuffle to center, gloves hovering close to face. Lily strikes first, left jab, left jab, right, last one tags Sarah’s cheek. American takes step back, then bounces forward in similar jab-jab combo, but Lily anticipates, retreats quickly, so Sarah’s fists hit air or pound into guard. Lily dodges a sudden right cross, ducks under, left-right jabbing to Hyland’s tummy, drawing grunt, but Hyland narrowly dodges wild uppercut, repays body work by pounding gloves left-right into Lily’s side and kidney, glad to draw grunt from Brit in return. Round ends and both ladies already looking butt-hurt from exchange.

Round 2: Sarah surprise rush, sees weakness in Lily still holding her side in pain and wants to capitalise - BIG right hand hits forearms! Lily squeals like an animal being skewered from impact. Another one drives her backwards to corner. Finally, she regains composure, bobs head back as Hyland’s hook misses cheek, respond with a right jab-jab-jab that just stuns Hyland in the face. Both girls reset in middle of ring, but Sarah now knows she can bully with power - last minute just exerting herself with strong blows aimed at Lily’s head, but mostly hitting her guard. Lily still having trouble dealing with power-blows, mostly forced on the defensive, costing her her lead and giving Sarah a wide round.

Round 3: Defiance on Lily’s face as she punishes Sarah will frequent jabbing and surprise hooks to face. Sarah herself not willing to give ground, and the two babes let fists fly whilst still managing to trash talk in center of ring. Sarah slaps Lily back and forth on the cheek and shouts, “Was that funny huh, huh?? You British b*tch-- hugghh” Lily cuts her short with a underhook, churns insides of Sarah’s tummy, and shouts back: “Do you-- see me-- laughing-- b*tch??” Lily continues pounding on Sarah‘s abs as she punctuates every word with a blow, gurgling the American starlet. Sarah choking, mouth gagging, fires a right hand that Lily weaves backwards to avoid -- American gets hit by a BIG right cross that lands on cheek instead, throwing her body back to ropes. However, bell rings before Lily can rush in to put her away. Judges ringside still scoring it a close round in Lily’s favor.

Round 4: Sarah still cradling abs at the start of the bell. Lily smirking, wanting to brawl. Brit charges forward looking for fight, throwing jab after jab, peppering Sarah’s body. Hyland being herded around the ring for first minute, being treated to verbal taunt after verbal taunt from cocky Brit. “Your show’s still on, Hyland? I thought it was cancelled long ago because people hated your guts.” and “You dress like a slut, by the way. I see that you *are* one real life too!” and finally: “By the way, everyone thinks your sister’s hotter than-- UGGHHH” Fire in Sarah’s eyes as the last comment produces a low growl in American -- Sarah charges in and DECKS Lily across the face. Lily covers up, only to have tummy bunched in by furious fists - Brit grunting as she tries to retreat, but Hyland’s glove follows her, smashing her in the gut all the way to the ropes. Lily goes huggghh as another fist slams into her right side - Brit tries to retaliate with a short uppercut to chin, snapping Sarah’s head back, but the American bulldog still charging - clinches, pins Lily to the ropes, continues to send left and right hands into body sides. Lily just groaning, mouth hanging open from punishment. Bell brings well-needed respite as Sarah whispers into the Brit’s ear: “You know what’s a joke, Lily? You thinking you’re better than me.” Lily only moans in response as the referee forces them to separate. Sarah takes the round in clear dominance and knows it, strutting back to her corner with fist raised to cheers.

Round 5: Fight seems to kick into a higher gear as both ladies seem to want to punish opponent and break stalemate. Sarah coming out fast, strong jabs to Lily’s body, but is tagged back by Lily to cheek. Both fighters dance around, peppering one other with long jabs for first minute, before both seem to decide ‘screw it’ and wade in at the same time - simple jabs turn to powerful underhooks as they stand and trade! Volume from crowd reaches crescendo as Sarah somehow takes hold of Lily’s ponytail in one hand, tugs and pulls backwards. Lily screeches as her body is controlled perfectly forward, then tummy is just BASHED IN by Sarah’s glove over and over again! Of course, pulling hair is double-edged sword - Lily allows Sarah’s face to connect with her glove over and over again as well, smashing the American in the nose repeatedly, then hooking a nasty left hand that CRASHES into her cheek and dislodges her hold over her hair. Lots of damage given and taken by both ladies as the bell rings and ref quickly separates both vixens.

Round 6: Both girls now starting to pant heavily in corners - not so energetic any longer. Sarah still choosing to trash talk as both girls close distance: “Come on, you British b*tch!” American throws huge lefts and rights, pounding on Lily’s guard and rocking her body to the left and right. Lily trying her best to evade, defend, counter-jabs to Sarah’s cheek drawing louder and louder grunts as American seems to be getting worse of exchange. Sarah stubborn, hooks a massive left hand to head - MISSES - Lily bobs head backwards, pistons fist upwards, CONNECTS WITH HYLAND'S CHIN! Sound of uppercut is deafening as Sarah’s head SNAPS BACK, spittle and sweat fly upwards into air, along with American’s body crashing to the ground. KNOCKDOWN LILY!! Brit sucks in deep breaths as referee starts the count!
3...4… Sarah’s eyes are open, staring straight up, chest rising rapidly up and down on canvas, mouth sucking in air.
5...6… Lily ever-cocky, standing on mid-turnbuckle in corner, fist raised to the crowd and beating on her chest with glove, doesn’t see that--
7...8… Sarah already on one knee, other leg shaking and body shuddering as she pulls herself up to both feet!
Lily turns around, anger flashes in eyes as she whips around to see American still clinging on to ropes for support. With a low growl she charges in - Sarah barely lifting gloves in defence - body compacted by low blow to abdomen as Lily's fist after fist just folds her in half. Referee quickly sees a lack of defence in Sarah - American’s eyes closed as she's just absorbing body blows - mouth open and saliva dripping from corners - ref waves it off, pulls Lily away!
Official decision: Lily Collins defeats Sarah Hyland via TKO6!!

After: Even after bell, Lily refusing to be restrained! She wrestles free of referee’s grasp, rushes in again, SLAPS Sarah across the face with glove. Sarah goes URKKK as hook hands on cheek, but Lily stops Sarah from spinning across ropes, with another uppercut to belly. Brit pins her body to the ropes, hisses into face: “You’ve always been a joke, Sarah. Maybe that’s why people love laughing at you so much.” Hyland has defeat in her eyes, goes hugghh as another blow finds her tummy. Brit lets her opponent fall to the ground in a heap, arms cradling body. Lily then goes on (second?) victory lap around ring, arms raised and gesturing wildly at crowd.
