Intro: A British clash up ahead as Florence Pugh and Millie Bobby Brown look to test each other out tonight here in Madison Square Garden. Florence seeking to push herself back firmly in title contention. While Millie looks to get back towards the promised land of the flyweight championship for a second time.
These have both been recognised by some as prodigy's in the ring. Florence more now has to prove she can win the big one, while Millie already has. In Millie's mind it seems judging by the pace of her early career that she wants to become the youngest Hall of Famer in history we she nearly has thirty fights already at the grand age of nineteen!
In the media area Florence gave her thoughts on the fight to FCBA Networks Alicia Atout. Florence wore a white t-shirt with blue denim jeans and black heels. Telling Alicia "I am buzzing for this one. You can see the goosebumps on my arms as I have heard all the hype around Millie. The young phenom of the flyweights. I am here to test that out."
Florence smiles as she continues "to be clear I do respect you Millie. You have done a lot and even done more then me. Fact is though that I am not some old has been, I am the real deal and I will prove I deserve to be recognised as a contender right now and not someone who may be back in contention in months." Alicia nodding as she sees how much this means to Florence after being on the outside of conversations on the title.
Millie meanwhile is asked outside her stables locker room about the fight. Millie removes her headphones as she carries her gear in her backpack. Wearing a red sleeved white t-shirt, black jeans and black trainers. Millie answers "oh Florence is going to be a lot of fun. I have met her a few times and she is always a laugh. I have watched the videos of her fights and she looks very skillful but I have proven I am not scared of anyone."
Putting her right hand on the locker room door handle. Millie adds "once that bell rings she will need to deal with my skill. I am here on one of the biggest stages of my career in a legendary venue, I have shown I am not afraid of anyone or any situation." Nodding to Alicia before she opens the door and heads in.
Fighting time! First to come out is Florence with her coach Gillan Anderson. Florence smiles as she walks to the ring wearing a white sports bra with black trim. Matching trunks and shoes, black gloves, while her hair is in a ponytail. Florence bangs her gloves together as she stands in her corner after stepping into the ring.
Millie doesn't make her wait long as Millie heads down the aisle with her coach Julie Benz. Millie also is smiling as both these young woman are excited for this one.

Momentum is firmly behind Millie as she steps in and cracks in a straight followed by a left hook to send Florence onto the ropes.

Winner Millie Bobby Brown KO Round 7
After: Millie with a big win as she raises her arms in the air and shuts her eyes as she looks to the heavens. She walks back to her corner to give Julie a tired looking hug. Millie certainly was worked over to get this victory as Julie tells her how proud she is of the young woman.
All the while Florence needs Gillan using smelling salts to try to bring her back to reality. Florence splutters as she wakes up. Holding her jaw with her right glove before she is helped to sit up. Her nose is plugged up with tissue paper as she fires back tears.
Over comes Millie to check on Florence. There's a few tense words as Florence at first looks a little suspect at Millie, till Millie puts out her right fist and Florence nods as she replies with a fist bump with her left. Both nod to each other as they respect one another, whether they will be going out for cocktails together is another matter.
For now though Gillan decides she'd prefer Florence checked over. Helped out the ring and to the back. Florence will need to shake this defeat off and focus on getting herself back into title contention. She keeps getting close in these major bouts, it's just finishing the job at times that has let her down. For her fans you hope that next year she can remove that chip off her shoulder and bring home gold.
In the ring Millie gets her right hand raised by the referee. She thanks the fans as her name is chanted. Millie blows a few kisses to the nearest camera as she is so close to thirty fights and she is not even twenty yet. It is frankly scary how good this phenom is.
Leaving the ring with Julie to her right. Millie has a date with the undefeated Dafne Keen in a few short weeks, two big questions being how much did this bout take out of Brown? While has Dafne got the skills to be at the level of a Millie? We will find out soon but for now Millie will look to relax and recover. |
