(The Dollhouse vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The action continues with two girls looking for their first ever wins here in China, Hayley Williams fights AnnaSophia Robb.
Hayley is 28 years old, she stands at 5'2 and her only bout was a defeat to Maisie Williams last month.
AnnaSophia is 23 years old, she stands at 5'0 and holds a record of 0 wins and 3 defeats, those losses to Rachel Bilson, Jane Levy and Sammi Hanratty.
At the press event both fighters seem cool around each other, happy to take photos together as they stand side by side with smiles lighting up their faces.
Then they head to their tables, ready to speak their minds on the fight and their futures, Hayley speaking first as she grins wildly at the sea of journalists.
"I know my debut last month wasn't perfect in that I lost, but onwards and upwards as I look to prove why I belong her in the FCBA" she says as she seems to somehow smile more warmly.
"I have seen the tapes on AnnaSophia, she has been unlucky from what I have seen in her fights, so I will have to be on guard at all times or it will be another bad night for me" almost reminding herself of that fact as she turns to her future opponent, who looks flattered by the statement.
Now it's time for Robb to speak "I have to thank Hayley for that, I have heard my name be used for things like jobber and a tomato can around here, but I know once I get that first win, I will burn a trail through this division"
Adding "Hayley showed she can fight against Maisie (Williams) her speed is something I am sure I can match and if I can catch her flush, well I will be getting my hand raised over you" with Hayley simply nodding in reply.
There's a handshake between the fighters, before they leave the stage at separate ends to get ready for the biggest fight for them so far in their fledging careers.

She is smiling as she walks down to the ring with her coach Kristanna Loken by her side, the crowd look to already love the Paramore star for her warm demeanor.
Though as she steps into the ring, she starts to get into the zone by shadow boxing, her smile turning into a deeply serious look, almost as if flicking a switch for the fight.
Now out comes AnnaSophia with her own coach telling her "tonight's the night to show the world who you are!" As she nods to him.
Starting to her walk to the ring, she is wearing a pink sports bra and trunks to go along with her gloves, her own blonde hair is up in a ponytail.
Climbing into the ring, she pumps her right fist into the air as she jogs to her corner, getting ready with her own warm up routine as the girls stare across the ring at each other.
The referee brings them to the ring centre, both looking the other up and down; the first real time they have gotten to measure up to their opponent properly, looking for any weak spots to try to win.

While AnnaSophia's coach rushes out to help her up and back to her corner, she's still dazed even now to show how hard she was hit.
Once she fully pulls around, she is upset as she knows she has tossed the best chance she had at winning away, her coach telling her "don't be too disheartened, you still have things to do but you will break that duck soon"
Hayley soon remembers her opponent as she rushes over to check on her, Robb tells her "thanks" as the two smile at each other and shake hands.

With Hayley shedding a tear, trying to hold back her emotions as she gets her arm raised by the referee to a loud cheer.
Soon she leaves the ring, knowing even more that this is what she wants to do, she loves fighting and while she has plenty more to learn, the chip is off her shoulder and now the future is bright.
