We kick off tonight's event with the undefeated Michelle Khare hoping to improve to two wins out of two bout. Her opponent is actress Gina Rodriguez. Who will look to return to the ring after a lay off to score her first victory in a few years.

Heading into the contest, both women posted about the bout on their social media accounts. Michelle posted "wow I actually get to fight Gina fickin Rodriguez! I know boxing is in her bloodline, so I am expecting a tough time but as my fans know, I will take any challenge that comes my way!"

Gina meanwhile posted the following message. "I got the call to fight Michelle Khare. I saw your fight against Andrea Botez and then the one against Helen Skelton. You are certainly impressive, I like the dedication you have, doesn't me I want you to win. I am back hard in training. It's time for me to lace my gloves up and to win." posting an image along with her message.

Fight Night! First to come out on stage is Michelle with her coach in front of her. Michelle shadow boxes down the aisle as she looks intense.

Michelle bounces on her toes taking a breath to calm any nerves.

Climbing into the ring wearing a black sports bra and shoes, black trunks with a gold waistband, along with gold gloves as her hair is in a ponytail. Gina taps her cheeks aas if to make sure she is fully ready for this.

Brought to the center by the referee! Both women lock eyes in a tense stare down. They do touch gloves respectfully when told as there is no malice between them, it is simply business. They return to their corners with both getting loud cheers. The bell rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
Both women a little tentative at first as they show each other respect. After thirty seconds though the punches start landing with more regularly as Michelle lands several clean jab/straight combos. Gina shows her some of her skills by crouching under a straight to pepper the stomach of Michelle with piston like punches.

Still Michelle uses a few nudges to keep Gina near the ropes. The YouTube star forcing the issue as Gina is having to box off the back foot. The round ends with some torn on who won the round, most seem swayed by the aggression of Khare as Rodriguez is told by her corner not to show her too much respect.

Round 2:
Gina starts to use her footwork and head movement to create new angles to strike from. Michelle getting to understand why Gina is so highly rated by some with her slick style. Michelle is landing some stiff punches, she just isn't landing with much regularity as Gina slips punches and lands counters.

Testing the abs of Michelle out. Gina lands more piston like shots, Michelle looks to take them well but she isn't landing much solid punches to ward off Gina. Instead Michelle uses a shove to get Gina off her, landing a jab/straight into the face of the older woman to knock her back a step as she looks to build momentum back up.

While Michelle has some success. She is getting caught over the top with some meaty hooks when Gina has space to work in.

Michelle landing more to the chest of her foe to try to keep her in place as Gina looks to keep her movement throwing Michelle off. The veteran landing more on the inside when she can get in close, looking to be the aggressor now as she must feel like she can smother Michelle's work.

But after being nudged back by a left forearm, Gina gets caught with a right hook on her ear to make her stumble back two steps. Gina finds herself being knocked back to the ropes by Michelle as the younger fighter looks keen to take the fight to her. Gina needs to clinch up when she gets whacked with several clean shots across her face.

They are broken up and resume with Gina getting back on the move. Both women slamming in stiff single punches as they try to gain ring position, Michelle to cut off Gina, who looks to stay in space.

Winner Michelle Khare KO Round 5

After:
The winner looks concerned for Gina as she doesn't celebrate too much. Raising her right arm in the air to acknowledge the loud cheers from the crowd, her eyes are locked onto Gina. Seeing the coach of Rodriguez come into the ring with the ringside doctor.

It takes a few moments but Gina is helped up to her stool. Over comes Michelle and Gina puts out her left fist. Showing respect to Michelle as the victor nods and bumps the fist of Gina. The ringside doctor asking Michelle to give them room so they can check on her.

Gina assures her coach and the doctor she will be ok. She stands up with a wobble after a few minutes. Standing straight though as she blows a kiss to the crowd. She gives Michelle a thumbs up as she sees Michelle look in her direction, Gina needing some help to get out the ring but she is adamant that she doesn't want too much help.

In the ring Michelle has been wiped down, gloves off and had a drink. She heads to the middle of the ring to get her left hand raised by the referee to a round of applause. Michelle smiles as she poses with her arms flexed to the cameras. She seems to have taken to celebrity female boxing like a duck to water.

Leaving the ring not too long after. Michelle high fives a few people at ringside on her way to the aisle to walk backstage. Her future certainly looks interesting as Andrea Botez has hinted that she'd take a rematch with Michelle, other fighters have to be keeping an eye on the rise of Khare. Who will be next for her?
