The build up saw both fighters doing an interview on FCBA TV, with
Elizabeth smiling as she says "this is such an honour; while Chloe is
like my sister, Scarlett is the one we all look at on set and think
that's who we want to be like, mind Ming Na Wen is the toughest woman
I know, so I'd love to see those two fight"
As she is trailing off the topic of this fight, she remembers what she
should be speaking about, she says "but I have to step up myself, I
respect her but I must win to show I'm as tough as my friends and
idols"
Scarlett also looks happy, admitting "I have to say that I'm glad to
be back in the ring; when you have the reputation I do, people don't
exactly rush to fight you I have found"
Chuckling she adds "I also have to say I didn't expect that Elizabeth
would be the one to come up to me at a press event and ask me to fight
her, I thought she was crazy till she explained she meant boxing and
wanted to give me time to train"
But getting serious she says "I give her my respect for that but I
plan on butchering her in that ring, she wants to prove herself, well
I am not going to rollover for her, I'll try to be nice afterwards
though and maybe pat her back for a good effort"

gumshield out as she pushes the doctor away and uses the ropes to
slowly pull herself up, showing why she is viewed as one of the
toughest women in Hollywood and the FCBA.

to clear the cobwebs from her head, her cheeks swelling up from the
pounding she took at the end don't help her mood.
It seems Elizabeth does want to help her mood by coming up to Scarlett
after her gloves are taken off and tells you "I knew you were tough
but you are so amazing in this ring"
With Scarlett looking up at Elizabeth with an inquisitive look, she
replies "yeah well when I get a few fights under my belt, the result
will be different" Elizabeth looking a little upset by the not so
friendly reply.
Till Scarlett adds "you got me good tonight though" and puts her hand
out, with Elizabeth smiling warmly and eagerly shaking the hand of the
woman who she still sees as a hero, even though she has proven she can
beat her.

moment, she knows that this was just step one of her comeback, plenty
of time to remind the FCBA who she is.
While Elizabeth bows to the crowd and thanks them for their support,
they give her a loud cheer in response as she continues to show how
popular she is with the crowd.
Stepping out the ring; Elizabeth looks like she is going to continue
being a Cinderella story in the flyweight division, the woman who
wouldn't hurt a fly before stepping into the ring is suddenly a title
contender.
For now though all she wants to do is get a shower and call Chloe
Bennett about this fight as she jogs to the back looking like
Christmas has come early for her.
