Intro: Tonight sees the debut of Daredevil's own 'Electra' as Elodie Yung meets French icon Eva Green in both their hometowns, Paris's own AccorHotels Arena. Elodie is 36 years old, stands at 5'7, this is her celeb boxing debut, she is most famous for playing Electra in the latest Daredevil and Defenders TV series and for playing Miriam Wu in the girl with the dragon tattoo. Eva meanwhile is 37 years old, stands at 5'6 and holds a record of 0 wins and 3 losses in her career, she is most famous for playing Vanessa Ive's in Penny Dreadful and Ava Lord in the movie Sin City: a dame to kill for, this is her first time fighting on a BBU card.
Both girls might be from the same city, but neither looks like they are going to give the other a warm welcome as they meet up and eyes stare holes through the other. They seem happy to sit down and not have to waste time looking at each other, with Elodie speaking first on the fight. "I am honoured that I can make my debut in my home, this feels like another big move in my career that has really taken off in the past few years" says Elodie with a grin. Before adding "but for those wondering why I am perfect to box, I have been doing karate for over a decade, I have been doing fight training over a year and training for this debut for the past few months, so I feel like I am becoming an ultimate fighter not just a boxer" flexing her toned arms to the journalists. Turning to Eva, she says "while I respect your film work, you are not a fighter; in fact you've given us French girls a bad name these last few years by being so weak, it is going to take girls like me to repair that damage" Eva scowling as of course disagrees with that statement, she replies "listen Elodie, you should be thanking people like me who opened up the doors for talentless hacks like you to get into Hollywood" Turning to the journalists, she points at herself as she continues with "I'm the most talented actress to come from France, I have won awards and I plan on reaching greater heights while she can stick to small roles in shows Marvel didn't deem worthy to make into movies" Now Elodie scowls across at her, she finishes with "you can list all your training, till you step into that ring and I punch your teeth down your throat, see how cocky you are then!" The girls are up and in each others face, no words being exchanged, just two girls trying to show they are not afraid of the other, before they turn and head off to prepare for the fight.
Fight night, out comes Elodie first with her trainer by her side, she's wearing a crimson red bikini with matching gloves, her short brunette hair free as she starts her walk to the ring. She pumps her fists in the air as she smiles as the crowd cheer her, jogging up the steps before climbing into the ring, Elodie looking cool and collected as she jogs to her corner. Now Eva arrives on the entrance ramp, her coach standing behind her as she poses in an emerald green bikini with matching gloves, her long brunette hair is braided. She gets an equally loud roar from the crowd, she can't help but smirk as she struts down to the ring, using her modelling past to look her best on the way. Climbing into the ring, she starts with her hands on her hips, giving Elodie a sultry look that makes her fans wish she was giving then it, she smirks as she gets a lot of the men in the arena on her side.
But as the girls are brought to the ring centre, both seem surprised when the crowd chant both their names, they have their hands on their hips turning to look at each side of them as the dual chant is filling the arena. Asked to touch gloves, the girls give them a quick swipe before jogging back to their corners, both eager to start as the referee signals the bell to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.
Round 1: The girls are both up on their toes, digging their punches at range towards their opponents faces as they move around each other. The crowd noise is deafening as the girls trade several shots through the others guard, Eva looks to be looking for an opening to get inside as she takes the cleaner punches from her opponent to her head. Elodie swings a hard left that just misses over the head of Eva, who comes back with two rights to the ribs of Yung, then follows with a left up top. The crimson bikinied fighter is pushed back a step, Eva keeping in tight as she works three punches into the abs of the bigger brunette. But Elodie nudges her back with a left fist into the top of Eva's head, then fires a right hook that catches her flush on her opponent's cheek. Eva moves back out the way of two wild rights as Elodie shows her lack of experience, instead Green lands a straight to the nose and a follow up left cross. The Hollywood star pushes forwards again with two punches towards the nose of Elodie again, this time though it meets the guard of her opponent, who snaps a counter straight to her nose. The ten second buzzer sounds but neither throws caution to the wind yet, continuing to counter each other after they miss. The bell rings with both staring at each other, before heading back to their corners, Georgie Thompson on commentary says "Eva looked slightly better in my opinion but it was a close round, so I wouldn't put it past it being called a draw" Both girls looking to their coaches for advice, stealing angry glances at each other, the crowd is still chanting both their names as they stand ready for the next round. Round 2: Both fighters look more focused as they trade single punches while moving around each other, Eva looking the more assured with her guard as she blocks more punches then she takes. Eva slipping under a right, stepping in tight to land a two punches to the chin of Elodie, allowing her to start powering Elodie back towards the ropes. The younger fighter protecting herself with her guard tight to her face, Eva slamming her first barrage of five punches off the forearms. But she changes tactics for her next three, two slam into the sides of her opponent's head, opening her up to a straight punch to her nose. Elodie forced to fight back, both starting to throw punches on the inside, digging away to the others body and faces. Eva looking in better shape as she has the room to load up her punches, landing a right across the nose of Elodie, a trickle of blood running down the nostril's of Yung. Elodie shoves Eva with both hands, it's crude but it proves effective as she gets off the ropes, Eva keeping in close range as she wants to keep the pressure on her opponent. The rookie looking a quick study as she almost catches Eva with an uppercut as the older fighter was lining up a right hook, luckily for Green she pulled her head out the way. But Elodie pounds her fists into the face of Eva, two straight punches knocking her head back and allowing her to show she won't be pushed around. The round ending with both girls trading in the ring centre, just about holding back at the bell as the crowd roars. Elodie sitting down on her stool, happy for her coach to clean her nose up, Georgie pointing out "this is the first gut check for Yung, she's never had a bloody nose to my knowledge, will she let it affect her?" While Eva sits looking calm, her face showing a few marks, but she just needs the sheen of sweat washed off her face, her coach looking happy after a strong round. Round 3: Out come the girls with Eva looking to build off the last round, looking more aggressive as she takes quick steps forwards to try to control the ring. Elodie though is moving more up on her toes forcing Eva to change direction to try to herd her back to the ropes, all the while both land stinging jabs to the others faces and abs. Eva starting to look frustrated that she can't match pace with her opponent, swings a lunging right that Elodie leans to the side out the way of, before coming back with a right of her own to the side of her opponent's head. The older fighter is knocked a step back, her guard having to come up as Elodie snaps a double jab off her nose, blood now starting to run from Green's nose. Elodie looking more keen to get into her opponent's face, landing to the guard as she backs Eva up towards a corner. But she keeps her hands too low, allowing Eva to counter with a hard right cross that knocks spit out of Yung's mouth and a left pushes her back. Elodie now forced to cover up as Eva digs a jab into her body, trying to move back to a safe distance to strike back, finding she is not going to get away so easily as she takes a right to her ribs. Instead Elodie comes back with another double jab onto the nose of Eva, forcing a groan from her opponent. Eva showing her own toughness, staying in close as both fighters slug it out in tight, soon falling into a clinch as they grapple with each other. The referee having to break the two apart, this is turning into a good little scrap as the girls plant their feet to start trading in close. The bell rings not long after, the fighters turning their back on each other, wiping the blood from their noses as Georgie laughs saying "it's like watching a mirror image, these two are so alike" coaches working to clean both fighters up for the next round. Round 4: Eva is looking to pile the pressure back on Elodie, digging her jab towards her, Elodie is looking more assured by the moment, leaning out the way of a left cross and dancing around Green. Elodie rifling her punches through to that bloody nose of Eva, who groans put in pain, her guard staying open; allowing Yung to continue backing her towards a corner. Green takes a hard right to her chin that makes her head turn, as a follow up left puts down Eva to her back! The crowd loom stunned with half cheering Elodie. The referee watches Elodie head to a neutral corner, then begins to count Eva; who is sitting on her backside after sitting up, her nose is bleeding more freely. She beats the count at 8 as she stands, the referee checking her over with Eva nodding to the referee to tell him to let her go. Back at it go the girls, Eva at first tries to go toe to toe with Elodie, but when a straight catches her on her nose, she has to cover up as she grimaces. Elodie backing her to the ropes, Eva having to take a beating to her sides, the younger fighter hoping to open her up to finish this. Eva needing to clinch up, holding on to Elodie as blood drips from her nose to the back of her opponent, the referee again needed to pry them apart. The wounded Eva protects herself to the end of the round, her coach quick to work on her nose, she winces as he does his thing. While Elodie looks happy, though she shuts her eyes and starts a breathing exercise to keep her heart rate down and her focus up, Georgie looking confused what she's doing as she looks her over. Round 5: Eva is looking to counter, while Elodie is looking patience, digging her punches into the top of her opponent's head to keep pressing her back. She slips back out the way of a right from Eva, countering with two straight rights into the top of her head, followed by a left cross. Eva knocked back onto the ropes, Elodie following; beating her around the guard to knock Eva's head side to side. An uppercut catches Eva, forcing her to slide down the ropes to her backside, Elodie jogging to a neutral corner with the referee beginning his count. Eva stirs to the shock of Elodie, but she can't do much but groan and soon she's counted out and the referee waves the fight is over.
Winner Elodie Yung KO Round 5
After: The crowd applaud both fighters as Elodie raises her fists up into the air, looking excited as she jogs over to her corner to hug her coach. Eva has to be helped up by her coach; she doesn't seem to have her bearings as she has to be sat down on her stool and checked over by her coach and the ringside doctor. After a moment, Eva starts to come around, looking pissed that she could break her duck, that bloody nose really screwed her chances up tonight. Elodie doesn't care as she steps to the ring centre, getting her hand raised by the referee, making sure to face Eva as it happens, scowling at her to show they are certainly not going to be friends any time soon. Instead Eva throws down her gloves in a huff and climbs out the ring, the crowd cheering her doesn't exactly lift her spirits, she'll be hoping that one day she can win or it will feel hallow having a boxing career. While Elodie poses in the ring centre with her arms flexed, a chant begins for her as she smiles, blowing kisses as a thank you for an amazing response. At 36 she might not have a long career as she'd like, but maybe she can become a contender for the French title and show she belongs in that ring. Georgie waiting to see what she can do against tougher opposition, if she proves it against those then she will make this worthwhile.
