Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: It's all about getting that big 'W' here next as Felicity Jones tries to bounce back from three consecutive defeats against Dutch lingerie model Sylvie Meis who returns to FCBA competition for the first time this season. Her last win on this side of the Atlantic dates back to July last year when she stopped Jenna Dewan in four and Jones appears to be very much in her range according to BLONDE! Magazine predictions.

Felicity Jones wears a light blue one-piece swimsuit and silver gloves. Long dark brown hair with bangs tied in a sleek ponytail. Sylvie Meis wears an orange bikini set and blue gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Both women show plenty of effort in the early stages but fail to dissect the high guard often enough to make a difference. Felicity succeeds in switching her targets to the body though which catches the blonde by surprise and allows the brunette to cash in with easy punches below the elbows. Sylvie has struggled to deal with a proper body assault before and she doesn't recover her stance until she gets backed into the ropes with more promising strikes from the charging Brit. Ugh! The blonde locks a somewhat predictable clinch but remains trapped in the corner for remainder of the round and soaks up more late punishment with Jones really eager to damage her ribcage in the process.

Round 2:
Sylvie becomes more agile on her feet and bursts through on the brunette's body to even the score while Felicity struggles to connect with the high response. The blonde bumps her onto her heels and continues to rip more punches into the midsection until Jones sticks one of her hooks on the jaw to wobble the Dutch woman into mid-range. However Sylvie still seeks more success and leaps after the Brit, both women clash heads in the process but it serves the blonde better as she whacks the stunned foe across the mouth and pounds her back to the ropes where Jones can only clinch her into a late stalemate.

Round 3:
More aggressive jabbing from Meis allows her to dictate the pace in the opening minute but Jones gradually finds her confidence back and applies more pressure to the body once she fends off the head-hunting efforts from the Dutch model. Both women have been very effective while focusing on the body shots thus far but sometimes you simply wish to wipe that smile off your opponent's face instead. Felicity settles down where she can make it count though and thumps an aching blonde to the ropes since Sylvie can't lock her down at all. It's hardly elite boxing from the Brit but she knows where she can hurt the other girl and even an ill-advised switch upstairs doesn't let the Dutch blonde off the hook. Felicity tries to split her mitts and clip the jaw but she fails in her efforts and almost wrestles the blonde down to the ground as Sylvie tries to break free from the phone booth trap in the corner.

Round 4:
Sylvie's visibly upset over lack of success in the previous round but she struggles to whack her opponent upstairs and bounces off the forearms too often while making the body switch; meanwhile Jones is all over her midriff herself and both women clash heads again as they try to lean on each other. Meis recovers from the bump first and rips a left cross on the jaw that pegs the brunette back but also allows the blonde to chase her around with otherwise ineffective jabs. Felicity doesn't have the bendy skills to avoid the entire blonde rush and trips back to the corner where she eats a one-two blast on the chin as Meis finally cashes in with her aggression and connects with extra hooks on the temples to run away with the scores. That's as even as it gets between the two but most fans in the audience still hopes to see that big punch which folds one of these two cougars down!

Round 5:
The crowd is granted their wish early on as Felicity fakes another body drive before BLASTING the blonde over the top and tearing a small cut under the right eye in the process. Ugh! Sylvie yelps in pain but gets pinned on her heels and when she misfires with a hooking response, Jones adds another powerful strike on the jaw that half-spins the model to the side. Ugh! Meis tries to bounce back with another swing from the back foot but there's Felicity coming across her and DRILLING the liver area with a left hook.. Oi, Sylvie!!! The blonde cries out in pain and half-spins on her heels before CRASHING DOWN with a loud thump! She immediately hugs the aching area and the ref abandons the count at three when he realizes the blonde simply won't recover from this liver shot anymore! KO5 Felicity Jones!!!

AFTER: This fight could have gone either way and come down to pure fatigue if Felicity didn't land that punch to the liver. It was a classic see-saw affair beforehand that's usually required to warm up the audience. There are no ill feelings between the two Europeans though and Jones actually talks to Foxfire Atlantic coach Sophia Myles after the fight to make sure Sylvie is more or less alright. BLONDE! Magazine reporter is the only person apparently unhappy with this result and wonders just how big was the appearance fee that Foxfire paid to the British actress. Sylvie's pride took a bigger hit than her liver in the end but some people will always complain when a brunette destroys a blonde in such a fashion!

Official result: Felicity Jones def. Sylvie Meis KO5.
