Priyanka Chopra vs. Lili Reinhart

Two top bantams squaring off in this one, but, at the moment, ladies are trending in different directions. Lili's been on fire, having won eleven straight since losing to Caity Lotz in February of last year. Priyanka, meanwhile, has been up and down, with only three wins in nine tries since failing to wrest the bantamweight gold from Demi Lovato. And, both ladies are dealing with plenty of internal competition. Priyanka was installed as the Consortium's feature bantam after the retirement of Claire Danes, but, the rise of Naomi Scott has put Chopra's position in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Lili still finds herself behind Chloe Bennet and Kat Dennings at Front Street, but she's hot on their heels. So, it's clear both ladies have all to play for tonight. "It's big, yes," says Priyanka. "Not because of anyone else, but, because of ME. Lili's been lighting things up around here. So, when I light HER up, questions will be answered."

"I have ALL the answers to Priyanka's questions," says the hard-eyed blonde. "But, she's not going to like them."

ROUND ONE:

Chopra all OVER Lili early. No question Priyanka's trying to prove something here, and she's doing it by swarming the blonde, forcing her to back and cover. Reinhart playing defense, trying to ride this thing out, which might be the right idea, because, Chopra's locked in, making with heavy leather, landing to both head and body, scoring, scoring, and scoring some more. Lili's not hurt, but she's taking a pounding, no question about that, as Priyanka works out some frustrations by, basically, punching Reinhart in the face over and over again. Late in the round, Big Choppy slows things down a bit and Lili's able to get on the front foot and get some offense in, but, it's far too little, far too late, as Chopra grabs the first wide and takes the early 10-9 lead.

ROUND TWO:

Chopra right back at it, pushing the pace, backing up Reinhart. Lili again willing to give ground after not hearing the "we are NOT backing up in this f**cking fight!" from Neve in the corner between rounds. Problem for Lili is, she's not managing this well enough. She's landing some in counter, blocking some shots, slipping others, but, she's not landing nearly enough and she's taking far too much leather. Priyanka's not just in control now, she's rolling, piling up both the points and the hurt. Blonde gamely trying to slow this down as the round goes on, but again doesn't have success until the final thirty seconds, when Chopra slows the pace and looks to consolidate gains. Once again, there's no doubt about it when the bell rings. It's Priyanka wide and up 20-18.

ROUND THREE:

More Chopra. Again, Lili's backfooted and retreating. Brunette's determination is something to behold. Yes, "wanting it more" is a cliche, but, right now, it looks like Priyanka wants it more. Again, Lili's playing defense, trying to slow this down, but the Indian beauty is driving all before her. At some point you'd figure Reinhart would have to put a stake in the ground, but, so far, that's not happened and there are no signs of it happening any time soon. Instead, the brunette's offensive rules the day as it has for the entire fight. Again, Reinhart has some spots where she gets some offense going, but those spots are few and far between, just as they have been the entire fight. In the end, the third is just like the first two. It's Chopra wide, and now Priyanka has a big 30-27 lead.

ROUND FOUR:

Lili puts a stake in the ground. Priyanka is still aggressively coming forward, but, now, Reinhart isn't going to give ground and WE'RE GOING HAMMER AND TONGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Crowd going nuts as blonde and brunette trade bombs for about 45 seconds until both think a little better of this and they settle into something not guaranteed to get one of them starched before the round ends. But, if the action slows, the punishment continues. It's clear the blonde is slugging for respect now, and, while Chopra's giving that to her, she's doing it grudgingly. Thus, plenty of hard shot is still being exchanged, with some of it going body, and both fighters are still at it when the bell rings. For the first time, it's close, and, for the first time, it's Lili, who cuts the lead to 39-37.

ROUND FIVE:

Ladies right back to it, meeting in the middle of the ring and having at it. Not a lot of finesse being used right now, but plenty of skill on display. Nobody's getting sloppy. Both fighters are setting up punches, putting them together nicely, moving head, hands, and feet until...BOOM! A straight right from Lili and PRIYANKA IS HURT! Chopra GOBSMACKED as Reinhart lets the hands go, driving all before her and trapping the brunette beauty on the ropes before beginning to call in artillery strikes. Desperate times for Chopra, who's hanging on in a tight guard as Lili has at her. Brunette begins smartly clinching, using clock, slowing the blonde down. Lili mostly punches free and gets back to work, but, when the bell rings, Reinhart hasn't finished. She HAS, however, grabbed the round wide and cut Priyanka's lead to 48-47.

ROUND SIX:

Blonde forward aggressively, backing up the brunette, who's still dealing with wobbly legs. Lili headhunting now, looking to finish this thing. Priyanka with the high guard, giving ground, playing defense, jabbing back to slow the assault, but not doing much more than tha...BOOM! Right hand, REINHART AND DOWN GOES CHOPRA! Reinhart to a neutral corner. Priyanka flat on her back as the ref counts. Brunette sits up at six, gets to her feet at eight. Ref gives her the mandatory and waives on Lili. Reinhart in buzz saw mode, winging away, forcing Priyanka up against the ropes and ROCKING her with another big right hand! Priyanka stumbles along the ropes and it's OVER! The referee leaps in and bundles the brunette to safety and it's OVER! And your winner by KO6 is Lili Reinhart!

AFTER:

Reinhart a scuffed but jubilant blonde. "She might be in a slump right now," says Lili with a shake of the head, "But, she's the real deal. Hits as hard as anyone I've been in with...even harder than I expected. Not as hard as I do, though. And, that was the difference."
