MELISSA BENOIST VS CAITY LOTZ

Results: Lookout Writing Medallion & Archer

Prefight: A fight between two of the Arrowverse's best. Caity new with Medallion wanting to make a name for herself and win the Bantamtam title. However after three straight wins she was recently derailed by a TKO loss to the Pretty Little Punchers Sasha Pieterse. As for Melissa, she's had a shot at the Bantamweight title coming up short but going eight rounds.

"That loss to Sasha was a fluke and I need to erase it. So I am taking on another PLP bantam. These are the type of fights I need to get ready for the title." Caity says. "I need to get things back on track and rolling towards that title shot.

"I know Caity very well." Melissa explains. "She's a great athlete and tough as hell but she's not been in the ring with someone like me yet. The fact that she couldn’t beat Sasha says she’ s not ready for me. The little birdie is going bye bye."

“We’ll just see about that,” snaps Caity with a steely glint in her eye.

Melissa manages to steady herself behind the jab, but Caity keeps the leather coming down to the bell. Caity Lotz wins the round wide.

The two now circle around and try to find openings to strike from unexpected directions. Melissa throws in quick licks to the sides of Caity’s head. Caity falls back to clear her head and Melissa moves with her bringing a wave of hooks into Caity;s belly. Caity jabbing back to stall the offensive and the two are soon back at it toe to toe with neither budging until the bell. Results is close, but Melissa Benoist takes the round.

Caity smiles a crooked smile of satisfaction before she goes to her own corner. Caity Lotz wins the round in a shutout.

R6: Melissa gets plenty of attention of the PLP corner crew as they try to repair the damage she took in the previous round. However, Melissa looks defensive and tentative as she comes out at the bell. Melissa trying to use her longer reach to keep Caity back. Caity responds by moving from side to side to confuse Melissa. Finally pays off, when Melissa is drawn off balance by a Caity feint to the right, while she strikes with a left to the chin. Melissa knocked sideways by the blow and shows confusion as Caity quickly follows up with more shots to the chin from the right and left. Melissa wilting backwards and then a final right uppercut from Caity sends Melissa crashing onto her back! Caity hurries to the neutral corner. The referee moves in. Melissa rolls to one side and tries to push herself up, but she can’t make in time!

“You’re out!” The referee concludes.

After: Caity walks the ring with her arms raised in victory. She then returns to the Medallion corner where she is congratulated by teammates Kaley Cuoco, Emily Bett Rickards and Shelley Hennig.

“That felt really good,” a happy Caity tells the press, “Melissa was tricky to handle, but I figured out how to do and put her down. This was a great win for me! I’ve put the loss to Sasha Pieterse behind me! Onward and upward to that title shot!”

“I think I got careless,” Melissa Benoist says ruefully when later meeting with the press. “I thought I was in control after R3 and R4, but then Caity caught me off guard in the 5th. I was just knocked around too hard in that round and couldn’t recover fast enough. I should have been better prepared for a comeback and that’s a mistake I hope never to make again!”

Maybe the loss to Sasha Pieterse was the fluke Caity has been insisting it was. In any case, she answered that loss with a solid win over a tough Melissa Benoist. It, indeed, looks like the Medallion hopeful is back on track. Meanwhile, Melissa Benoist and her PLP managers will be plotting her comeback fight. The next fights for these two should be of great interest to fans of FCBA bantams
