Brie Larson: 5’7”, 29 years old, 7-3, 7 KO since 2017, Fates Boxing
Joo Min-Hee: 5’6”, 26 years old, 7-4, 7 KO since 2016, Free Agent

Before:

“I have a lot of respect for Joo.” Brie tells the press. “But she is not in my league. Her 2018 wasn’t great at 0-3, and I have no intention of letting her beat me.”

“I want revenge for Elizabeth Olsen beating me last year, and knocking her stablemate out would be a good start to that,” Joo says coolly. “Brie is just in my way, whether she likes it or not.”

Joo comes to the ring wearing a black sports bra and red trunks with matching gloves, her hair up in a ponytail. Brie walks out wearing a blue sports bra with blue trunks and white gloves, her hair in a bun.

The two women tap gloves and the bell rings, beginning the match.


Round 1:

Joo starts out aggressively, immediately going after Brie, catching the blonde by surprise. Larson quickly sets her feet and jabs back at Min-Hee, forcing the Korean singer to halt her offensive. The two women begin circling, trading blows but neither one obtains a notable advantage. Brie starts jabbing at Joo and now it’s the Korean who has to set her feet, but Min-Hee quickly fires back and catches Larson in the nose. Joo starts punching at Brie’s body, steadily punishing the American actress as Brie tries to counterpunch her way out. Brie manages to fend Joo off and keeps her distance until the bell rings. Joo takes the opening round on points, close.

Round 2:

Larson practically jumps out of her corner after Fates tells her she’s boxing afraid and letting Min-Hee run her around. Brie opens the round by jabbing at Joo and lands some solid hits to the K-Pop singer’s face. Min-Hee jabs back at Larson but Brie easily dodges out of the way and launches another brutal barrage on Joo’s head and the Korean is forced to get her guard up and sacrifice her body. Larson pounds leather into Min-Hee’s body and drives the singer into the ropes where Min-Hee is forced to clinch and get the ref to break the two women apart. After the two women are parted, Min-Hee keeps her distance and manages to land a few hits on Larson from range before the bell rings. Both women return to their corners, and Brie takes the round on points, wide.

Round 3:

Both women emerge confidently from their corners to start the third round and Brie immediately returns to the jab to start with, but Joo is ready for her. Joo suckers Larson in before walloping her with a quick left-right combo that drives the blonde back. Brie tries to jab her way away from Min-Hee but the Korean singer drives her punches into Brie’s midsection and the blonde lets out a moan. Joo pummels Brie into the ropes and now it is Larson who has to clinch and have the referee break the two apart. Larson and Min-Hee start circling with Joo getting the better of the exchanges including two ripe jabs right to Brie’s mouth as the bell dings. Joo Min-Hee takes the round on points, wide.

Round 4:

Fates was quite animated in the corner and Brie practically jumps out of her corner and the message is clear – she was letting Joo take it to her. Larson immediately throws out a left which Min-Hee avoids, but the Korean singer gets smacked by a nasty right. Joo temporarily stunned and Larson connects with a left to Min-Hee’s chin and nearly sends the singer down. Min-Hee stays up however, and she gets her guard up as Larson tries to capitalize. Brie turns to Joo’s body and absolutely punishes the singer’s breasts and midsection as she drives Min-Hee into the ropes. Joo clearly suffering as she clinches and the ref breaks the two women apart. Min-Hee starts working her jab after the break and she keeps Larson at bay while returning punches to Larson’s mouth, drawing a scowl from the American actress as the round ends. Brie wins on points thanks to her early offense.

Round 5:

Joo Min-Hee is slow to come out of her corner, wary of the blonde actress who seemed to be getting into her groove last round. Larson quickly starts jabbing at Min-Hee and once again finds Joo’s mouth, much to the Korean’s displeasure. Min-Hee tries counterpunching but all she hits is air as Brie ducks out of the way and pops two quick rights into Joo’s body and Joo gasps as she retreats. Larson feints with her left and Min-Hee falls for it only to be smoked by a right hook that snaps her head to the side. Joo wobbles on her legs and Larson drives a left straight to Joo’s jaw and drops the Korean! Larson quickly retreats to the corner while the ref starts his count. Joo moans on the ground but can’t roll herself off of her back and this one is over. Your winner by KO5, Brie Larson!

After:

Larson beams at the crowd before getting her gloves off and checking in on Joo. Larson says something and a smile creeps across Joo’s face and the two women briefly embrace before Brie goes over to Elizabeth Olsen for an interview.

“Congrats on the win, anything you want to say?” Olsen asks her fellow bantamweight.

“I have a lot of respect for Joo – she should be signed. Now Liz,” Larson responds, “Joo said she wants revenge for your beating her last year. Anything you want to say back?”

Olsen smiles, “Well, the interviewer is getting interviewed. I wouldn’t mind dancing with her. JMD if she wants, but I’d be happy to fight her again. Otherwise, excellent fight to start off the PPV.”
