In the build up to the card, the last press event saw the girls meet up and there was a warm hand shake between the girls as they smile at each other and politely chat till they have to go to their tables to speak. Elizabeth is asked to speak first, standing and smiling to the crowd of journalists wanting to get any scoops on this fight. She starts by saying "Chloe has started like a house on fire, I mean I'm honestly jealous of where she's gone in her film career and in the ring my lord, she's unbeaten after 3 tough fights, while I lost mine in my second fight" Smiling at Chloe, she continues "I have to show my talents off with this fight, Chloe is good, hell she could be the new Mish or Hudgens with the right backer, but I have to be the now, not the future and that means winning this fight" Chloe smiles warmly back at Elizabeth, clearly enjoying the comparisons to the legends of the flyweight division. The beautiful blonde stands up and nods at her future opponent, before saying "thank you Elizabeth, I remember when us New Blood girls were training for the tournament, the Girls Friday girls would come and silently scout us, but Elizabeth actually wanted to know us, so I have to thank her for taking the time to not just see me as a rival, but to try and be kind to a young woman like myself in this shark pool of talent" Changing the subject to the fight, she adds "but as she said, both of us need a win to stamp our authority on our careers, a loss could put back months of work we have put in, so I need this win badly to hopefully get the notice of the girls she speaks of, the Hudgens and Williams, the Lucy Hales and now Anna Kendricks, I signed up to be the best and I'm still off that pace at the moment" The girls are about to go face off when a journalist asks "so how about Ariel Winter signing for Front Street, must have been a shock?" Chloe clinches her fists, clearly a sore point as she answers "look, I could bytch and moan that a girl I beat remember to win the New Blood's has been signed before me, the fact we were both considered doesn't help, but all I can say is there loss, if they want the second best, they are welcome to her. Turning to the journalist who asked the question, she says " when I get signed, it'll be the best day of my life, till that time; I'm going to keep working my ass off and making people I care about proud of me, does that answer your question?" The proud Chloe stands as tall as she can on stage as Elizabeth gives her a respectful clap, the supposed staredown turns into Elizabeth putting her hand on Chloe's shoulder and telling her "you'll find a home stable soon, just let the manager find you" which seems to calm the youngster down as the girls hug, before leaving the stage together to catch up.
Fight night, out comes Elizabeth first; looking as bubbly as ever with Taryn Terrell and Eva Carneiro by her side as coach and cut woman respectfully. As she walks to the ring, she sees her loyal fan base in the crowd, still wearing their "master of the sweet science" shirts for her, as she takes her black robe with a agents of shield logo on the back off on the stage to show she's wearing the same T-shirt, which she asks Taryn to help her take off and throw into the crowd to her fans. The girls almost start wrestling for it in the crowd but all start shouting "oh my God!" As one holds it towards Elizabeth and the fighter looks almost emotional already, till she sees the annoyed look on Taryn's face, the blonde starts smiling after a tense moment and shaking her head at how childish she is, baring in mind that Taryn used to lead a stable named "the Dollhouse" Finally they climb into the ring and Elizabeth is wearing a black sports bra, matching trunks with #MOTSS on her waistband in white and black gloves and shoes, as she heads to her corner to finish warming up. Now Chloe comes out with cheerleaders on the stage, with Chloe dancing through a guard of honour of pom poms! As the camera gets a better view of Chloe, she's wearing a pink jumper with Kappa Nu written on, the sorority that her character in Bad Neighbours 2 made as she has her hair tied into two pigtails and she skips down to the ring. Her coach is already down by her corner, as he helps help take her jumped off to reveal she has a pink sports bra, trunks with Kappa Nu on the front and rules on the back of the waistband and pink shoes. Climbing into the ring, Chloe winks at Elizabeth as she gets her pink gloves on and spits her chewing gum into a bucket on the ring apron. Elizabeth just smiles all the way through this madness, part of her wishing she could do a big entrance like Chloe does. She's knocked out that thought process as the girls are ordered to the ring centre, all the fun and games aside, now the girls get serious, staring each other down as the referee goes through his instructions. Asked to touch gloves, the girls hug instead and wish each other luck as they jog back to their corners, the referee shrugs his shoulders and waves for the bell to start 10 rounds of flyweight boxing action.
Round 1: Off we go, both girls up on their toes, fit young fighters and it shows as they dance around each other, rifling their jabs into each others faces. Chloe tries to go in hard first, throwing three punches up top that Elizabeth just about blocks, then pistons her right into the nose of the blonde to knock her head back. The girls continue to fight around the ring, throwing single shots to open spots in the others defences, the crowd are watching intently. This time Elizabeth times her approach to throw a right hook to turn Chloe's cheek, then two shots to her body with her left as she tries to power forwards and push Moretz back. But Chloe shows off her speed, retreating back into space, then moving around the brunette, Chloe landing a double jab to the right cheek of Elizabeth. Before she now goes on the front foot, Elizabeth like of mind and the girls work each other around the body, the crowd starting to shout for both girls. But both step back to fight at range again, both better in the open and not tight as they were. Around the ring they fight again, a true flyweight style fight as the girls are throwing quick strikes at each other, moving quickly around each other on their toes. Chloe tries to step in quickly again, but Elizabeth catches her with a clean right cross to her lips that stop her in her tracks and the brunette adds two more straight shots to the face of Chloe to batter her back a few steps. As time is ticking down in the round and Chloe manages to duck a right hook over her head, stepping into the gap being the two fighters to land an uppercut that knocks Elizabeth's head back and she clinches up. The girls get separated, Elizabeth covering up as Chloe rushes forward with a flurry of punches and Henstridge has to retreat into space out the way of the blondes attack. The bell rings with both girls jogging back to their corners, both girls maybe friends but they know that waits till the final bell, now it's all business and you can see with their body language that it is. The girls getting cleaned up with both happy over their workrate, both taking on water to keep their energy levels up, as their coaches tell them the things they need to do to improve for the rest of the fight.
Round 2: Both come out much more prepares for each other now as they trade stiff shots up top and circle around each other. Chloe shows early this round why she is touted so highly as a prospect in the league, she times her attacks better this round, striking on the inside and getting back out with minimal damage in return. Elizabeth looking a little rattled as Chloe lands two unanswered cross punches up top and the brunette misses with a counter straight of her own as her opponent ducks it. Once more as they clash in the ring centre, both this time landing some good shots, but as Elizabeth tries to get in closer to Chloe, she takes a right hook that stops her in her tracks now and Chloe powers force with a three punch combo up top that knocks the English girl back towards the ropes. If not for Elizabeth's own footwork still being good to get her away from this frontal assault, then she could have been in real danger. Elizabeth manages to reset as Chloe comes back on the attack and finally this round she lands a good piercing shot to that nose of the American and then two shots up the middle of her body. But Chloe comes back quickly, landing two stiff shots to the flanks of Elizabeth to wind her, she sends a straight of her own to Henstridge's nose in retaliation for the one she just received. The girls are never far apart from each other as they exchange to the others bodies now, trying to shut each other down it seems. Chloe seems to be getting the worse of these exchanges after her hard work this round, so goes back up top with a vicious left cross and then just missing with her uppercut by inches as Elizabeth retreats. Not long left in the round and the girls work hard to try and win the round, slugging it out in tight with wild shots and as the bell rings seconds later, the fighters pull away straight away and head to their corners. Both girls have some red marks on their faces, Elizabeth's are more pronounced as Chloe looks the much more happier of the two, nodding to her coach, who praises her good work but tells her the bits to improve on.
Round 3: Chloe is back on the front foot quickly, using her better hand speed to land the better punches once more in the early exchanges. The Sheffield girl is struggling to keep up the pace by the looks of it as Chloe's youthful energy is driving her backwards in their exchanges. Taryn clearly getting upset in her corner as Chloe hits her with a right to her chin to turn her head and then a left to the body to press her even further backwards. Elizabeth fires back with a double jab and a right hook to push Chloe back for a moment to get a chance to think about how to counteract her opponent. That doesn't last long as Chloe is back on her, rights and lefts, some that hit; others don't as Elizabeth backpedals in hopes of getting something back in return. She's pressed to the ropes and if not for quick thinking to clinch, Chloe may have been buying her train ticket out of the city sooner to go home. The referee gets involved, separating the girls, Elizabeth is quick to strike, desperately slamming three body shots in Chloe's abs. The blonde groans and steps back in retreat for the first time in feels like for ever for Henstridge, who tries to drive on, but Chloe just looks in top gear, swiveling out of the way of a wild straight punch and landing a counter to the body of Elizabeth to reel her back onto her heels once more. Elizabeth is behind the proverbial eight ball here, being caught up top by the hand speed of Chloe, who looks comfortable. Maybe too comfortable as the round is coming to an end, she slows down slightly, maybe resting up with not long left to push on hard in the next round. Elizabeth sees her chance and goes for it, landing two digging shots to the body of Chloe, the blonde trying to fight back. But Elizabeth almost bulldozes Chloe backwards, head down as she lands three unanswered body shots before the bell rings. Henstridge continuing with the business like approach, jogging back to her corner as Taryn checks her cheeks, both looking slightly swollen. Chloe meanwhile stares hard into the back of her opponent, the first bit of real emotion from each fighting since the bell rung to start the fight. She shakes her head though and grins to herself as she heads to her corner, her coach not smiling as she warns her to keep on top of things before they spiral out if control.
Round 4: Both fighters are quick to move towards the ring centre, Chloe trying to keep the space between them but Elizabeth is almost right in her face. Working the body with greater urgency, the brunette lands four digging shots right into the stomach of Chloe, who retreats back to escape the punishment. Chloe does come back at Elizabeth, cracking her to her left cheek with a hard right hand that rocks the brunette back a few steps. But this time as she tries to get back on the front foot, Elizabeth fires back with a right to the body, then lands her own right to the side of Chloe's face. Both girls snap out their shots in tight till they clash bodies and clinch up to take a quick rest from punishing each other. The girls are separated and as they are told to start again, as they clash again, Elizabeth digs away to the body more and Chloe is clearly getting hurt, her eyes shutting as she shoves Elizabeth off of her. Sweat starting to drip of their bodies as the pace of the fight heats up even more, the girls swinging hard shots and mostly missing. Elizabeth rocks Chloe with an uppercut and powers her to the ropes, the youngster managing to clinch up before anything serious happens to her, but the cameras catch her blinking to clear her vision. Separated again, the girls circle in tight, going back and forth in the exchange to the crowds delight, before they each take a step back. The girls look seriously hard at each other, the fighters trying to work out how to win this fight now after each has had some success. Chloe is the first to try something, fainting with her left, but as she strikes with a right cross, both girls have the same idea, landing nearly in unison and that leads to a fiery exchange between the two, both groaning as they put some power behind their punches with seconds ticking away in the round. The bell rings with both girls looking each other up and down, seeing the red marks and the swelling on each others faces. Both head back to their corners, Elizabeth shutting her eyes to try and focus on anything but how sore she is, while Chloe taps her foot and looks at the canvas, annoyed that she let Elizabeth to get back into this fight. Their corner teams work hard to fix them up, neither coach looking particularly happy with the way this fight is going for their girls, just praying inside they can pull the victory out.
Round 5: The pace seems to be slowing down at first, the girls are measuring each other up with their jabs, testing the waters once more. Then they launch into each other, brawling in tight, quick thrown punches knocking each other around in the centre of the ring. Stepping back out, Chloe has a small shiner forming under her left eye, as Elizabeth's nose trickles a little blood from her nostrils. The girls faint and sneak punches through the others slowly lowering guards, with Chloe getting onto the front foot to strike with two cross punches to the head of Elizabeth. Who in turn lands a hook to the ribs of the American, both fighters wince as they continue trading and end up in a clinch once more. Neither is pushing or shoving, just taking a moment to clear their heads, till the referee gets involved to pull them apart and order them to fight. Nothing seems to be able to separate the girls, hammer and tongs from both sees them fight around the ring, landing and taking some real hard shots with both girls being rocked. The pace slow down with not long left in the round, the girls throwing single punches over the others guard till the bell rings. Both girls nearly crack a grin as they see the other is hurting, heading back to their stools, the fighters sit down and lean against their corners, enjoying the soothing water on their faces and ice packs where they are most sore. Their eyes meet across the ring, almost an understanding between them that they'll need to do more to win this fight judging by the resolve in their opponent.
Round 6: Meeting up, the girls work as best they can, snaking their shots repeatedly through the others guards early on, the fighters look to get that one shot to turn this fight. But this round starts as tight as the last round was, the girls coming in tight to slug it out, but Elizabeth is showing signs of taking over, her body shots eat away at the stomach of Chloe who is on her heels soon enough. Chloe getting desperate, showing her youth as she tries to go for a haymaker to get back in full control, but she misses with a wide right and a right hook lands on her temple. Moretz falls to her knees then all fours and looks shaky as she blinks while staring down at the canvas, Henstridge back into a neutral corner as the count begins. The crowd all edge closer on their seats as Chloe tries to push herself up, but her arms slip and she falls onto her side in a heap and she's trying to clear her head in time. But can only start shoving off her side as the count reaches 10 and the fight is over!
Winner: Elizabeth Henstridge KO Round 6
After: Chloe's unbeaten run ends with a bang, she finally sits up and looks ashamed of herself for losing after such an effort to keep her streak going. Elizabeth gets to her knees, grimacing as she does, consoling the youngster who nods at her and the girls share a touching moment as Henstridge acts like a big sister to the blonde. Their coaches help them up and take their gloves off as the girls smile at each other as Elizabeth jokes with Chloe to try and lift her spirits up. The beaten fighter still looks understandably upset by the situation, but she isn't blaming Elizabeth and looks not to throw this closeness away over her own mistakes. The referee stands between the girls so the result can be announced, Elizabeth gets her hand raised with Chloe clapping her to show her respect. Then Chloe goes to leave, Elizabeth quickly moves to tap her on her shoulder and as the blonde turns around, she learns in to tell Chloe something, that makes Moretz smile and nod to her as they hug tight and some tears flow between them. After they separate, Chloe leaves to her name being chanted, nodding to her fans, she seems to realise that a defeat is certainly not the end of her ascension, just a small blip if she makes sure she gets back in the gym and works her ass off to win fights again. Elizabeth waves to the crowd as she does a lap inside the ring, thanking them for their continued support and looking proud of herself for overcoming Chloe. Heading to the back with Taryn and Eva, Taryn stops her a second to point to the fans she saw at the start, at first Elizabeth looks confused what her coach is getting at. Then Taryn pulls a pen out the back of her blue jeans and tells her "sign the top dopey, take that as your reward for listening to me" Elizabeth grins as she waves for the top she threw to her fans before the fight and as she gets it back, she signs it "with love for your support, the master Elizabeth Henstridge xx" then throws it back to her fans. Thanking Taryn as they head to the back and are swamped by journalists, who are desperate to hear her on the fight. She starts by saying "watch this space because Chloe with the right person behind her is a champion in the making, I can tell you that from that performance" The journalists are mumbling amongst each other, surprised in some ways for her candid answer about her opponent. "I am so happy to overcome that test, she pushed me so hard, I've been blessed to fight fit girls like Jane Levy and Vanessa Hudgens who beat me, Chloe fights at a high tempo like that, so I hope I've proven that I can beat that type of fighter and now I will hopefully be looking up the rankings for more great fights" continues Elizabeth as she smiles warmly at the cameras. Before she heads off she's asked, what did you tell Chloe, Elizabeth turns back and says "that she is going to be a legend and that if she ever needs a friend, my phone is always open to her" Then she finally gets a chance to get into her stables locker room and get a soothing shower on her sore body, while most winners will be celebrating, she has a pillow with her name on tonight to rest up and head back to England first thing tomorrow.
