BEFORE:
Up next, we’re back at the VIXENs Headquarters & Gym, with the third fight of the tournament seeing Alyssa Lynch and Lily Collins taking center stage for their pre-fight press conference. This fight not only promises to be a thrilling clash of styles but also another step closer to determining the best fighter on the VIX roster.

Alyssa steps up to the stage first, radiating confidence in a sleek black dress that hugs her fighter's physique, her dark hair pulled back in a tight ponytail. The choice of attire underscores her no-nonsense approach and readiness to brawl. Next, Lily contrasts with a touch of elegance, wearing a sharp, tailored white blazer over a light blue blouse, paired with slim-fit trousers.

As the first face-off between these two talented fighters, both Alyssa and Lily are keen to make their mark. Alyssa, known for her brawling prowess and eagerness to engage up close, looks ready to overpower and outwork her opponent. Lily, on the other hand, maintains her composure, her lean, counter-fighting skills honed and ready to exploit any opening.

Alyssa addresses the audience next with a warm smile, her tone respectful yet confident. "Being part of VIX, we've trained together, cheered each other on, but never faced off like this. It's going to be interesting to see how we match up. I respect Lily's technique and speed, but I believe my power and aggression will give me the edge. No matter the outcome, we're here to show why we're the best in the business and then it's on to bigger challenges like the so-called ‘Empress of the Body Saddle…”

Lily, with a nod of acknowledgment towards Alyssa, responds with a light-hearted grin. "Alyssa's right. We've seen each other at our best and worst in the gym, but stepping into the ring changes everything. I'm curious to see how our styles clash—it's going to be a fight to remember. And while Alyssa sets her sights on Anya, I've got my own path carved out towards Vanessa Pudgens and her flab-inducing AMD title. Let's give them a show, and may the best Vixen win."

Hours later, Alyssa makes her entrance to the sound of a high-energy rock anthem, the pounding beats echoing her own fighting spirit. She strides confidently down the aisle donning a dark red sports bra paired with matching shorts, both adorned with gold trim that catches the light with every step. Her gloves, also red with gold accents, are raised in a salute to the crowd as she approaches the ring. Her dark brown hair is braided tightly against her head, and as she steps into the ring, her demeanor is one of calm readiness, her eyes scanning the crowd before settling on the task ahead.

Lily's entrance is marked by the stirring sounds of an orchestral piece mixed with modern beats. The former Flyweight champ and recent Hall-of-Famer strides towards the ring with a grace that belies her deadly intentions, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her attire is a striking contrast to Alyssa's—she wears a sleek, midnight blue sports bra and shorts set, both featuring silver accents that shimmer under the gym lights. Her gloves, a complementary shade of blue, are held high as she acknowledges the audience. Lily's dark hair is pulled back into a neat ponytail, emphasizing her focused and determined expression.

Alyssa and Lily, each in their corner, stretch and shadowbox, their movements sharp and deliberate. Then, they settle into their respective fighting stances, awaiting the referee’s signal and opening bell! HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!

ROUND 1:
Alyssa not only has the bulk but also two full inches on the English actress, with Lily more renowned for her tactical acumen and agility. Yet, Lily wastes no time in leveraging her mobility, weaving around Alyssa with a grace that seems to bewilder the taller brawler. Alyssa stays grounded in her approach and eager to leverage her strength, endeavoring to diminish the gap with firm steps forward, before unleashing tight combos that only find the guard. But Collins glides in and out of the Canadian model's range, delivering sharper jabs and swifter combos that snag Lynch to her face, tallying points while keeping her safely away from retaliatory strikes. Her gloves, a blur of midnight blue, consistently find their mark, landing on the head and midsection with a speed and accuracy that seems to catch the brunette powerhouse off guard. Alyssa finds herself grappling with her counterpart’s exceptional footwork and pacing. Attempting to corner her elusive opponent, she unleashes a barrage of heavy hooks and swings to the body, only to find Lily's agile maneuvers keeping her frustratingly at bay. Soon, her vexation becomes increasingly evident as her attempts to land decisive hits are met with air or deflected by Lily's deft defense. As the round unfolds, Lily's confidence surges. Her attacks grow more audacious, integrating tight uppercuts and swings to the head that further disrupt Alyssa's rhythm, tagging Lynch off her stomach and then landing a nasty hook to the side of her face, jolting her briefly to the side. And at the round's conclusion, Lily Collins has firmly established her dominance and mastery over the fight's tempo, using pinpoint striking to gain superiority in this initial exchange. Alyssa, in contrast, is compelled to reconsider her approach…

ROUND 2:
Lynch still has a penchant for power, recognizing the need to close the distance more effectively against her nimble opponent. She adopts a more calculated stance, aiming to cut off the ring and limit Lily's mobility, all the while blocking the flurry of Lily’s attacks with her firm arms. Lily remains unfazed by the change in tactics. Her footwork, as elegant as it is efficient, keeps her one step ahead of Alyssa's advances. Her gloves continue to tag Alyssa all over with a variety of strikes—jabs that snap her head back, hooks that graze her ribs, and the occasional uppercut that slams into the center of her arms, forcing the Canadian to reset her approach. The round sees another tantalizing game of cat and mouse, with Lily exploiting her speed and Alyssa attempting to corner her back with sheer power. However, the dynamic shifts momentarily when Alyssa successfully pins Lily against the ropes, her eyes lighting up with the prospect of turning the tide. A sudden flurry of punches bang into the body, head, and arms, but Lily very quickly weaves and slips away to the side, minimizing the damage and finding an escape route back to the center of the ring. Each time Lynch seems to gain some momentum, Lily pesters her vision with that jab hand stuck to the nose and cheek, retreating as she keeps the Canadian model at bay. As the bell rings to signal the end of the round, both fighters return to their corners, breathing heavily but visibly ready for more. The scorecards may again tilt in Lily's favor, but the narrow margin serves as a reminder that the fight is far from decided.

ROUND 3:
Alyssa again squares her shoulders and makes a beeline for the leaner Collins, thinking the smaller girl can’t keep running away forever. She charges forward with a renewed sense of purpose, her gloves thundering towards Lily with an intensity not seen in the earlier rounds. A series of heavy hooks first banged to the arms before looping under to catch Collins off her torso forces Lily to tighten her guard and skirt backwards, and leave her face momentarily exposed. Alyssa pounces on this, grazing a follow-up uppercut to the chin that SNAPS Lily's head back and forces a grunt from her lips. And Lily quickly finds herself on the back foot. For every step Lily takes back, Alyssa takes two forward, cutting off the ring and limiting her options for retreat. Another left hook to the stomach doubles Lily over with a groan, followed by a right cross that catches her flush on the cheek, further blasting her backwards. And the crowd reacts to the display of power, sensing a shift! Alyssa's confidence grows, forcing Lily into a defensive shell! Lily tries to weather the storm, managing to fire back with a few counters of gloves stuck to the face, but the effectiveness of her strikes has diminished under the onslaught. As the round concludes, it's clear that Alyssa has not only won the round but has done so decisively!

ROUND 4:
Whose genius idea was it to pit girls from two different weight classes, we wonder? From the moment the bell sounds, Lily circles the ring with a nimbleness and focus that seem to have returned to her step, perhaps a result of her corner's advice or her own resolve not to be overwhelmed by Alyssa's power. Her movement is purposeful, staying just out of Alyssa's effective range, which frustrates the taller fighter's attempts to close the distance and replicate the previous round's success. Lily’s back to utilizing her long-range jab to maintain the gap between them, peppering Alyssa’s arms and body with quick, stinging shots that, while not devastating, accumulate points and keep the bigger brunette at bay. Every attempt Alyssa makes to step in and unleash her power is met with a swift straight cross to the body, a tactic that Lily employs with surgical precision. These body shots, though not powerful, are perfectly placed, making Lynch grunt as the breath is literally pounded out of her. Soon, Alyssa's frustration grows, her swings becoming more telegraphed and easier for Lily to predict and avoid. Despite her best efforts, she finds herself consistently outmaneuvered and unable to land her signature power punches with any significant effect. Lily racks up points with her consistent body work and elusive movement. She darts in and out of Alyssa's range, landing quick combinations before retreating out of harm's way. This hit-and-run tactic not only frustrates Alyssa but also impresses the judges, who see Lily controlling the pace and direction of the round, which tilts back in her favor when the bell rings.

ROUND 5:
Alyssa has her eyes locked on Lily in the opening seconds, now aiming to cut off the ring and prevent her foe from utilizing her footwork to escape her onslaught. Her fists are more targeted this time, throwing feints to bring Lily’s guard up before swinging her other glove in from the side to pummel her abs, seeking to sap her energy and slow her movements. A series of thudding body shots find their mark off the older Brit’s torso, each punch carrying her own body weight, as she drives those gloves into her sides and midsection with precision and ferocity, repeatedly folding her over and forcing her to back away towards the ropes. Lynch’s punches come in flurries, a mixture of tight, powerful hooks and sudden uppercuts that RAM into Lily's guard, snagging her ribs and abdomen alike, leather thudding in with punishing impacts mixed with labored grunts. The effect is clear: Lily's movements grow noticeably slower, her attempts to counter and create distance less effective, and soon, the energy and nimbleness that she once exhibited seem to wane. By the third minute, both fighters are wobbly and tied up near the ropes, with Lynch pressing Lily against the ropes and unleashing more wicked combinations to the pit of her belly, driving the air from her lungs, as Collins clutches onto her shoulders and waistline, with nowhere left to go. The bell soon saves her, however, and by the end of the round, Alyssa has clearly left her mark. She breaks the clinch first and returns to her corner, grinning, whereas Collins is left clinging onto the ropes, looking weary and bruised from the sustained attack. It’s a wide-point victory for Alyssa Lynch, the round having undeniably shifted in her favor.

ROUND 6:
Alyssa immediately seeks to dictate the pace once more, moving in with the intention of imposing her physicality and power. She launches into a series of hooks and crosses, aiming to replicate her success from the last round by blasting Collins about and overwhelming her eventually. But her approach is aggressive, perhaps too much so, as she leaves herself open repeatedly. Instead of retreating or relying solely on counters, Lily opts to stand her ground and exchange punches in close quarters! This unexpected tactic catches Alyssa off-guard, allowing Lily to blast her to her face with a bruising hook, before drumming that stomach and waistline with a series of punishing hooks that jolt the bigger brunette on the spot, forcing her to lurch with her mouth open and panting. As Collins continues to her barrage, Alyssa’s still swinging away, of course, her own heavy lefts and rights finding Lily's sides, expecting to dominate the exchange. But Lily shakes these off, responds with yet another terse uppercut packed into the pit of her tummy, her elbows and hips driven in with force. Her left glove rockets from below, traveling in a tight, upward arc directly into the exposed underbelly. The impact is sharp and precise, the glove compressing against Alyssa's abdomen, momentarily halting her forward motion and drawing a stifled gasp from her lips. Unperturbed, Alyssa groans and attempts to retaliate with a left swing of her own, but Lily simply braces and blocks with her lowered arm, before driving yet another fist up into her solar plexus. The crowd ROARS in approval as both fighters engage in this tit-for-tat battle. Alyssa, though taken aback by Lily's resilience and tactical switch-up, refuses to relent. She adjusts her stance, backing away and attempting to shield her midsection. But for every punch she lands, Lily finds a way to answer back with more, and soon, the targeting of her body begins to visibly affect Alyssa. But before Lily can secure a knockdown and pin Lynch to the ropes in turn, the bell rings to signal the end of the round. She strides back to her corner with a small smile and cocky nod, believing she can truly hang and bang with the Bantamweights of the division.

ROUND 7:
The initial minute sees Lily executing her plan to perfection. She’s back to dancing around Alyssa, landing jabs and combinations that score points without leaving herself open to counterattacks, aiming to chip away at her defenses and maintain her advantage. However, the tide of the fight shifts dramatically in the second, with Alyssa, recognizing the urgency of the situation, digging deep to find an answer to Lily's elusive and slightly chaotic style. She had fully anticipated another rush from Collins, but when her foe opted to stay back this time round, she decides to take the fight back to her. Lily, as predicted, begins to pester and poke her often to the head, occasionally ramming a one-two combo into her tummy south of the arms. And just as Lily fires off another one of her precision jabs, Alyssa anticipates the move and slips her head to the side, creating an opening for a devastating response: her right hand is powered by her entire body's rotation, fired inwards and between the arms, connecting squarely with her jawline, in a textbook example of a counter right cross! OUCH! The punch crashes in with such force that Lily is sent stumbling backward, her legs unable to support the backwards momentum, and she LOSES HER BALANCE, collapsing down to the canvas in an abrupt KNOCKDOWN!

Good lord! The arena falls silent for a moment, the impact of Lily’s fall reverberating through the crowd! Alyssa’s not resting on her laurels, however, her hands barely raised in anticipation, instead watching as the referee swiftly slides in to begin the count. Lily, looking dazed and struggling to comprehend what just happened, attempts to pull herself back up with the help of the ropes. Her determination is evident as her knees push against the mat, her arms trembling on the ropes with the effort to rise. But despite her valiant effort to rise, the rest of her body just refuses to cooperate! She’s shaking her head, as though still in a daze and suffering from a possible concussion, and it’s clear that the knockdown has taken its toll. Soon, the referee's count approaches ten, it becomes clear that Lily won't make it back to her feet in time! Finally, he waves off the rest of this fight, meaning Alyssa Lynch takes up the shock win by the seventh round! It’s a dramatic turnaround for Lynch indeed, who managed to leverage her power at the crucial moment to secure her victory!

Official Result: Alyssa Lynch defeats Lily Collins via KO7!

AFTER:
The crowd's reactions in the immediate aftermath range from shocked silence to roaring applause. Alyssa now stands victorious in the center of the ring, her face flooded with a mixture of exhaustion and elation. Her gloves are still on, her breathing heavy and chest heaving, but her eyes sparkle with the thrill of victory. Her team surrounds her with congratulatory hugs and pats on the back.

Across the ring, medical personnel are attending to Lily Collins, who is slowly regaining her bearings with her back seated to the ropes. Despite the abrupt end to her fight, there's a clear display of toughness and resilience in her eyes. Assisted back to her stool, she sips on water, nodding at the medical questions asked, and looking overwhelmed and most of all, just disappointed at her performance.

As Alyssa's hand is raised by the referee, the official announcement echoes through the arena, cementing her victory and her place in the semi-finals of this tournament. She will have to wait until the fourth and final match of the evening to know who her opponent is, but for now, she’s soaking in the camera flashes.

Even after the official proceedings, Alyssa makes her way over to Lily, extending a hand to help her to her feet. The gesture is met with gratitude, and the two fighters share a moment of mutual respect and words of encouragement in an embrace, likely assurances of a well-fought match and promises of a potential rematch in the future.

As they part ways, Alyssa takes a moment to address the crowd, her voice echoing with pride and gratitude. She thanks her team, her fans, and even nods towards Lily's corner, acknowledging the fierce competition:

"Lily’s an incredible fighter, and stepping into the ring with a former champ and Hall-of-Famer was an honor. I know she wanted to kick Emma’s ass in the finals, but she’s gonna have to wait a little longer. As for me, I'm ready for the next challenge, ready to take on anyone. To Kyra, I'm coming for you, babe. So you’d best make it past Emma in the next round."

Lily, her face still flushed red and cradling an ice pack to the side of her jaw, manages to speak to the press moments later as well:

"I have to give it up to Alyssa; she fought brilliantly tonight. It's tough to say this, but I'm not deterred by tonight's outcome. I've faced setbacks before, and I've always come back stronger. I'm going to take some time, regroup with my team, and come back ready to take on anyone who stands in my way. To Emma and Alyssa, enjoy your victories, but know I'm not out of my prime yet. Hudgens’ pathetic abs are calling, and I’m eager to collect."
