Before: Jessica Michibata looks resentfully at Sophie Turner from the pre-fight podium.
“Sophie Turner comes in to the BBU. She beats my stablemate Kelly Gale. Then she beats my best friend Yasmin Verheijn. I decided right then and there that I was going to put a stop to her lucky streak—and I will!”
With that, the Japanese (of Argentinian descent) model gives Sophie another dark look and marches to her seat. She sits down, crosses her arms and continues to give the British actress hostile stares Sophie Turner looks more than a little bewildered as she takes her turn at the podium, but she then turns her back on Jessica.
"I am sorry Jessica feels that I have merely been ‘lucky’ in my first 2 fights here in the BBU. It is no fun watching your friends lose, but the fact is ((and now Sophie looks over at Jessica)) I was better than Kate and I was better than Yasmin. That’s why I won. Luck was not a factor. I can see that Jessica is in a vengeful mood. I’m not going to be panicked when she comes at me as early in the fight as she can. Patience and a cool head are much better in a fight. I am sure when it is all over Jessica will realize I won because of my boxing skills, not something like “luck”. Thank you all for coming, I think I have said all I intend to say. Jessica: see you in the ring!”
Sophie then turns her back on Jessica and exits. Jessica is not pleased at this and storms off the opposite side of the stage.
