Before: “This is exciting,” says Bailee Madison, “I this will be my 4th fight of 2021 and I have won 2 so far. People are starting to take me seriously at Foxfire. Yvette just got here in the fed. She doesn’t know her way around like I do. I am confident I can handle her!" \

Yvette rolls her eyes: “May I remind you, Bailee, that this will be MY 4th fight of 2021 and, okay I may have won only 1 of them, but that was against Ashley Bnson.”

“But you couldn’t beat Danielle Rose Russell or Elettra Lamborghini. You really think you can beat me?” Bailee asked.

“I certainly intend to try,” Yvette said with determination.

“Trying isn’t good enough: you have to DO it,” Bailee said.

“And I will,” Yvette assured her.

Polite, but determined to win seems to be the story of Bailee and Yvette. Two promising young bantams out to prove they can be winners.

THE WINNER: YVETTE MONREAL DEFEATS BAILEE MADISON KO4!

After: “NOOOOOOOO!!!!” wails Bailee, but the referee says he’s sorry, but is definitely out. Distraught Bailee goes to her corner where her bloody nose is treated. Then there is a tao on her shoulder. Bailee turns around and there is Yvette, no gloveless, hands on hips with a srrious look on her face.

“You owe me for jugg mugging. This wasn’t a JMD fight,” Yvette informs Bailee.

“I didn’t realize you couldn’t punch them in anything but a JMD fight. Read the Rule Book,” Bailee retorts.

“OK, you won’t apologize?”

“I will not. You almost broke my nose!” Bailee complains.

Yvette gives a snort of derision and then clamps her right hand onto Bailee’s left bicep. Bailee finds herself dragged on scalding walk of shame as Yvette pauses to point out how she turned Bailee’s nose into a swollen and bruised mess.

“But it’s not broken, Bailee tells me. I’ll try harder next time,” Yvette says chattily to ringsiders who snap plenty of photos of her handiwork.

“I’ll get you for this!” Bailee whispers angeriy. “I promise you I will.”

“Well, the one thing I have learned from playing a superhero is that you need a supervillainess to beat up and bring to justice. Of course, you don’t have super powers, but, hey, I can be flexible. Beating you up in the name of ring justice is just fine.”

“I am no villainess!” Bailee snapped.

“You know: that’s what they all say, but for me, you are. Live with it: you now have an archrival in the FCBA--me.” Yvette says as they complete the circuit.

“You have found a worthy opponent!” Bailee blurted out and stalked away.

“Great line! I’ll remember it!” Yvette called, but Bailee had already exited the ring.

Lively contest between two promising young talents. Yvette Monreal proved the better boxer this time out, but we have the feeling the FCBA has not seen the last of Bailee Madison vs th GBS bantam. Fans can enjoy the replay of this encounter even as they wonder if there will be more to come.
