Intro:
It had to go all the way to the main event, the two captains will fight it out for the International Cup, Cassie Scerbo needs to beat Jenna Louise Coleman as a draw will allow the Rest of the world team to hold onto the cup.

Both beautiful actresses are the same height and build, fittingly neither has fought each other before tonight, yet they are so similar, Tractorpull Pundit Tess Valmore of course picked her friend Cassie, other pundits are mixed in their answers it is such an even fight.

With them being the team captains, they were given the chance to meet face to face on a stage, the press conference had the world's press watching as Cassie and Jenna came on from different sides with their coaches, Neve Campbell for Cassie, Nicole Kidman for Jenna.

Coming together in front of the podium, the captains raise their fists for the cameras, an icy glare from them as Cassie wears a red Team USA shirt with black denim shorts and heels, Jenna wears a black Rest of the World shirt with blue denim jeans and black heels.

When the face off is over both fighters demeanor changes totally as they smile while shaking hands, neither has a history so it isn't like they are coming into this as bitter enemies, they separate to opposite sides of the stage as the International Cup itself is brought on, placed on a podium at the center next to where the fighters will speak.

First up to talk is Cassie, who looks over the cup before telling the crowd "boy will this look good on my mantle, how much chocolate pudding do you think I could keep in it?" Getting chuckles from even Jenna and Nicole, Cassie grinning like a Cheshire cat as she turns to look at the journalists bemused faces.

Holding her hands up, Cassie says "OK wonderful jokes aside, this does mean a lot to me, representing my nation in an event like this is important to me, I have watched the prior events and badly wanted to be the one leading our team to victory, I go from sitting on the couch with my BFF Tess and the Front Street crew, to now leading out my assembled team to battle, I am so looking forwards to that night" not able to hide how excited she is.

Looking at Jenna, Cassie finishes by saying "I actually like you Jenna, you know it is all business in that ring, I want your best but this cup belongs back in America with the best fighters in the world" some pundits joking that maybe Cassie should run for president after her speech.

After applauding her opposition captain, Jenna steps up to talk now with her own beautiful smile, pushing some loose hairs behind her ears, Jenna tells the crowd "I agree wholeheartedly on Cassie what this event means, I have done so much in my career up to this point and I will admit something I normally wouldn't, I was jealous of Cheryl Cole last year being the first captain of the Rest of the World to lead her team to victory, I would have loved that honour but to retain the trophy is as special to me" Cassie gives her the thumbs down on that with a big cheesy grin.

Turning to look at Cassie, Jenna tells her "I also agree that I like you, this is going to be a great fight between us, we match up so perfectly and while you have better jokes, I think I have the better punch" raising her right fist up as Cassie playfully waves Jenna to bring it while laughing.

"Good luck Cassie and let's show the world what we are both made of" Coleman finishes with as both her and Cassie come together for one last photo, both with an arm around the others waist as they smile to the cameras, showing a united front tonight, soon enough it would be a fight to a finish for them.

Fight night, the crowd is on their feet as Cassie comes out with the American flag draped over her shoulders, she is beaming with pride as Neve walks behind her, letting Scerbo have her moment as she gets the loudest cheer of the night.

Stepping into the ring, Cassie puts the flag on the top turnbuckle, getting on her red gloves as she wears a red sports bra, red boots, with American flag style trunks, her hair tied into a ponytail as she bounces on her toes, looking serious as this really means a lot to her.

Jenna now walks down the aisle with her Union Jack flag draped over her shoulders, Nicole Kidman follows her as she gets a respect round of applause, Jenna nodding to the crowd as a thank you for their respect.

As Cassie did the flag is placed over the top turnbuckle, Jenna gets on her blue gloves to match her sports bra and shoes, she has Union Jack flag pattern trunks, her hair is also in a ponytail as she stares across the ring at Cassie.

Each fighters national anthem plays as Cassie places her right glove over her heart for the American anthem, Jenna puts her hands behind her back for the United Kingdom one as fans cheer when both ends.

The flags are taken out the ring as the fighters come together at the center, going nose to nose as it looks a totally different sight to the press event, both trying to psyche the other out as they stare right into each others eyes.

When told to touch gloves, they actually hug each other in a nice moment, then jogging back to their corners as the crowd roars, mostly a USA chant ringing out that nearly drowns out the bell, starting 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
"Ding!" After a quick fist bump both get down to business, up on their toes dancing around the middle with their jabs flicking out, both looking a mirror image of their opponent as they test them out.

Trying to land a jab followed by a right cross, Cassie just mistimes it as Jenna pounds in a counter right after sidestepping her, a left hook just misses as the American takes a step back, nodding as she saw the fist flash across her beautiful face.

After the opening minute things are stepping up, more combos are landing as they move to fighting at midrange, hard to separate whose getting the better of these exchanges, the crowd of course firmly behind their girl as Cassie's name in chanted.

Later Scerbo slips under a jab to hammer in a short right to the body, a pounding left hook catches Jenna across her jaw to turn her head, giving Cassie a chance to press her onto the ropes, where Coleman is covering up to protect herself from the barrage that comes her way.

The round comes to an end with Cassie taking that round with a strong ending, she is listening intently to Neve as they go through the game plan, showing how much this means to Scerbo as she looks a good student, more then the class clown she portrays outside the ring.

Round 2:
Now having an understanding with what they are faced with, they turn on the afterburners in the opening minute, fists flying more as they trade around the center, feet being planted more as they try to earn the respect of their opponent.

Leaning out the way of a left cross, Jenna pounds a counter right into the face of her opponent to knock her back a step, a follow up one-two combo has Cassie shielding her face as she is forced to move near the ropes.

On comes Jenna as she shows that ability to read her opponent here, stepping back when Cassie makes a move, then striking through gaps left in her defence, Cassie looking less sure to attack as she is being herded around the ring, getting her head snapped back with each mistake.

Heading into the final thirty seconds of the round, Cassie feints with her left before slipping the right that comes, now she shows her adaptability as she pounds in a right to the body, then an overhand left hits Jenna onto her cheek.

Back goes Jenna as Cassie comes at her hard with a good body punching drill learned in the Front Street Gym, problem is before she can pin Jenna onto the ropes, the bell rings to stop the action, both women even on the scorecards again after two solid rounds for them.

Round 3:
Doubling up their jabs as they box around the ring, cheeks on both women are marked up as they are hitting their targets more, both finding it hard to land that punch that will open things up for them, almost like two fencers at the moment just thrusting strikes hoping to land the killing blow.

Jenna tries to be the one to open it up by dipping down to step forwards, Cassie lands a straight off the top of her head that takes the sting out her left to the body, THEN AS JENNA TAKES A STEP BACK, A LEFT HOOK LANDS ON HER CHIN TO SEND HER SPRAWLING ONTO HER BACK!

The "USA!" Chants are in full flow now, Cassie cupping her ears enjoying the sound of that as she heads to the neutral corner, 1...2...3... Jenna sits up as she shakes her head, 4...5...6.. She was definitely a little buzzed there as she pushes to her right knee, 7...8.. But Coleman dashes the hope for the fans that the cup is coming back this soon by getting to her feet, nodding to the referee she is OK, the gloves are wiped and off the go again.

Jenna is in a defensive posture as on comes Scerbo, the crowds support seems to be hyping up Cassie as she flies into Coleman with several hooks to the body, just missing with an uppercut as the Brit leans her head out of danger.

Holding onto Cassie with not long to go in the round, Jenna looks to be gritting her mouthpiece in frustration, the referee breaks them up at the bell with the name of Cassie echoing in the arena, she can't help but beam as Neve has to remind her this isn't over yet.

Round 4:
Cassie is out her corner quickly, chesting up to Jenna as she bangs in hard shots on the inside that pushes back her rival captain, Jenna covering up as she gives up ground in a not so great sight for the Rest of the World team.

Landing a few single punches out her guard, Jenna is showing some fight but she is struggling to stay out the way of the tiny tornado coming her way, Cassie hammering in punches that either land on the arms of Jenna to give them a pink hue or into her breadbasket to make her groan out.

An overhand left smacks Jenna around her guard to her jaw, back into her own corner goes Coleman as Scerbo is right on her, throwing hooks around the guard as Kidman in her corner yells "clinch Jenna!" Which Jenna does with a little mouse forming under her left eye.

Broken up by the referee, Jenna just can't find a way to dissuade Cassie coming after her, finding herself being pressed into ropes, needing to hold on to get a breather as Cassie is on a free roll here.

When the bell rings it is a shutout for Scerbo, who gets a nod from Neve but still not much praise, across the ring Jenna has the swelling worked on as Nicole is telling her "you gotta come back at her, make Cassie respect you!" With Jenna bumping her right fist with Nicole to promise her she will.

Round 5:
Again Cassie comes flying out the gates, this time Jenna isn't just standing in front of her, the former Doctor Who star is moving behind her jab, bobbing and weaving more to dodge some of the heavy leather coming her way before landing the counter punch.

Before Jenna can get too comfortable on the move, Cassie hammers a jab into her chest, then a right into her lips, the bottom lip of Jenna is tricking blood as a cut has opened it up, Cassie starting to close the ring off to hinder Jenna's mobility.

As Cassie steps in with a right hook, Jenna slips under it before banging in two short sharp left hooks under her ribs, giving Cassie a little nudge with her right forearm to get away from the ropes, the crowd has quietened a little as Jenna is starting to get her mojo.

There isn't as much firepower coming from Cassie, who when she does land is able to push back Jenna, but she is getting hit back flush with some good strikes from the British fighter, who looks less tense then the less round.

At the bell Jenna gets a smile from Nicole for a much better round, still needing to patch her up but things are looking up, Cassie meanwhile takes a deep breath as she knows she wasn't good enough there, Neve is telling her what to do when the bell, less charging more finding that range.

Round 6:
At the bell we see Cassie try to do as her coach told her, she is finding that is easier said then done as Jenna's upper body movement is giving her some issues, both digging in their best jabs to chests as they hiss out when hit.

Trying to move in closer to Coleman, Cassie takes a left across her cheek, then an uppercut knocks her to her heels, AS SCERBO TRIES TO LAND A JAB TO WARD OFF JENNA, SHE MISSES AND EATS AN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS HER DOWN ONTO HER BACK!

That has caused an almost eerie silence to fall over the arena as they are shocked to see Cassie down, 1...2...3...4... Cassie turns to her front and gets to all fours, 5...6.. Pushing to her knees as she shakes some cobwebs loose from her head, 7...8... Cassie pushes up to her feet with a determined look as she bangs her gloves together, nodding that she is OK.

Back the fighters come and Cassie is a little sloppy, trying to get back at Jenna but just suffering brutal counter punches that cause her to retreat with blood now coming from her bottom lip after a hard left cross slammed across them.

Jenna isn't rushing for the kill shot, trying to set it up, as the bell rings she might regret it as she returns to her corner, where Nicole is wiping her face down while telling her to keep being patient, across the ring Cassie is getting chewed out by Neve for getting sloppy after the knockdown.

Round 7:
This time Cassie looks a little unsure about when to strike after being down, Jenna starts to land that jab right between the mitts of her subdued opponent to reopen her busted bottom lip.

The crowd are rallying behind Cassie, who just misses with a cross combo, instead it's Coleman landing a hard one-two right through her guard to knock her back, the Rest of the World captain taking the center of the ring as she firmly takes control of this round.

Finally after a minute Cassie lands in two body shots, dodging a jab as she steps back out of range, giving the crowd hope as they chant her name, Jenna not too phrased as she keeps hunting down the American around the ring.

A feint opens up Cassie to a one-two into her chest, as Cassie have shuts her eyes due to the pain, she eats an uppercut that looks to have rocked her, back to the ropes goes Scerbo as Coleman crowds her with hard hooks around the guard till she gets clinched up.

At the bell it's a shutout for Jenna now, Cassie getting a pep talk from Neve as they patch her up, both women listening closely to their coaches as they have both been hurt, stealing a quick glance to look at the damage their opponent has suffered.

Round 8:
Stepping out their corners with a look of pure determination, they are not bouncing as much on their toes, instead stepping in with their punches to knock back heads, this has been a war as both grunt out loud when they are struck clean.

Nearing the end of the opening minute, Jenna misses with a straight as Cassie leans to the side, BACK COMES CASSIE WITH A RIGHT HOOK THAT OPENS A CUT UNDER JENNA'S LEFT EYE, THEN A LEFT HOOK ON THE CHIN SENDS COLEMAN DOWN TO ALL FOURS!

The crowd smell victory as they stand to cheer, Cassie walking to the neutral corner with her eyes firmly on Jenna, 1...2...3... Who has blood dripping from that cut to the canvas, that sight has to be playing on Jenna's mind seeing her blood like that, 4...5...6.. Crawling to the ropes, Jenna grabs them, 7...8... Getting to her feet with a little wobble, Jenna does as the referee asks to show she is OK enough to fight on.

When Cassie goes for the kill Jenna is quick to hold on, maybe more hurt then she wants to let on, Cassie desperately trying to push Jenna off her as they nearly fall into the ropes, referee breaking them apart.

That extra break seems to have helped Jenna as next time Cassie comes in she lands a double jab to her face, boxing defensively as Cassie hunts her down, both landing some stiff shots to faces.

At the bell Cassie stares hard at Jenna, looking completely different to the woman who started the night hugging her, returning to their corners; Jenna needs to be patched up as Nicole looks worried, Jenna joking "it's nothing" as she tries to keep things calm in her corner.

Round 9:
Coming out to try to end this, Cassie is stalking after Jenna, who is boxing well for someone down twice, toughness has never been a doubt for Jenna, though cameras catch Nicole holding the towel in her hand, ready to throw it in if she sees Jenna in real trouble.

The first test of that comes as Jenna gets hit with a jab to her chest, then a right cross lands on her cheek, Cassie pressing her onto the ropes, where she whacks her to the body, when she loads up for an uppercut, Coleman is quick to hang on to her.

Once broken up things don't get much better for Coleman as her cut under her eye is reopened, Cassie targeting it as she shows her friendly rival no mercy, snapping her head back when she does land.

But maybe her flurries earlier in the fight have taken some of Cassie's power, she isn't landing anything that will knockout Jenna at the moment, with less then a minute to go she is getting caught now by some hard counter punches to her face.

A left hook catches Cassie on her nose, she cries out as suddenly with seconds left Cassie finds herself being driven back across the ring onto the ropes, both fighters coaches yelling at them as they slug it out in the dying moments of the round.

When the bell rings both look at their opponent, Cassie's nose trickling blood now as Jenna's blood has dripped onto her chest, nobody can doubt either fighters toughness after tonight as they slowly return to their corners, sitting on their stools taking deep breaths as they are cleaned up, one more round to go and both look as driven as they did at the start of the fight.

Round 10:
There's a round of applause for both these warriors as the referee brings them together before the bell, a respectful fist bump exchanged by the fighters as they nod to their opponent.

"Ding!" Off they go as both exchange jabs to start, just missing with big hooks as both seem to have the same idea, Neve and Nicole both yelling at their girls to be smart about this, with both understandably looking exhausted.

Cassie starts to push back Jenna after the opening minute, rifling a double jab into her face, she gets Jenna on the ropes where she digs in two body shots that has the Brit wincing, Jenna holding on before she takes much more punishment.

Split apart by the referee, Cassie looks to have the momentum as she is coming forwards, landing several good shots through the mitts of Jenna but taking some squarely back into her own face to stop her being able to pull the trigger on her power punches.

Final minute to go with the crowd chanting Cassie's name, she misses with a right cross as Jenna leans back, then hammers that counter right perfectly into the nose of Scerbo, who cries out as tears come to her eyes, being pegged back now by Jenna as chants of no ring out around the arena.

Only twenty five seconds to go with Cassie going to clinch up, Jenna slams a jab into that bloody nose again to stop her in her tracks, less then fifteen seconds to go, JENNA THROWS AN UPPERCUT FROM HER HIP THAT LANDS FLUSH! CASSIE'S MOUTHPIECE GOES FLYING AS SHE FALLS ONTO HER BACK WITH A THUD!!

There's a gasp around the arena as most people hold their hand to their mouth, the referee begins to count 1...2...3...4.. Maybe trying to give the American team a chance being the home team, 5...6...7.. Cassie isn't moving a bit, 8...9..10 it is over!

Winner Jenna Louise Coleman KO Round 10

After:
What a war! This has fight of the year candidate written all over it, Jenna falls to her knees exhausted as Nicole rushes into the ring to check on her, the ring side doctor with Neve goes to check on Cassie as both women will be feeling this fight for a week.

The crowd are stunned by what they saw, the early indications are that Cassie was going to win on the scorecards thanks to that second knockdown, Jenna really pulled it out in the ninth innings here with that stunning knockout blow.

A round of applause slowly starts as Cassie is seen to be awake, though she is struggling to move from as much tiredness as the knockout, a stretcher is brought into the ring to help her out so she can be checked on in the medical room.

Over comes a tired Jenna to check on Cassie before she is helped out the ring, a nice sporting gesture as Jenna tells Cassie "you are amazing, you'll come back stronger I know it" with Cassie mustering up a smile, Jenna telling Neve to give Nicole a call to tell her when Cassie is out of the medical room so she can see her, Neve nodding as she pats Jenna on her left shoulder.

Out the ring goes Cassie as her BFF Tess Valmore has pushed passed security at ringside to go with her, Neve assuring Tess that she'll be OK, though Tess right now doesn't look too pleased with Neve, something she will probably get over once the emotions of seeing her friend like this are gone.

Back in the ring Jenna enjoys getting treated by Nicole, she jokes "I might not have the strength to lift that cup" Nicole looks behind her and replies "well you won't be alone in doing it" as the other winners tonight Lily James and Priyanka Chopra both have come to ringside before they get into the ring, team mates Gemma Atkinson and Juno Temple are both still in the medical room being checked on after their knockout defeats.

Both Lily and Priyanka kneel down to check on Jenna, praising her for coming back from such adversity to win this, Jenna thanking both for setting her up to win this as they all share an embrace, Nicole smiling warmly at the sight.

As that is going on the trophy has been placed in the ring on a podium, the FCBA committee chairman standing next to it as Jenna is finally able to stand and head over to the podium, each member of team Rest of the World gets a handshake from the chairman.

Jenna with help from her team mates lifts the cup up to applause, it would undoubtedly have been louder had the home team won but instead the American fans show their respect to this team for pulling this one out the fire, for the second year in a row they have won the trophy.

Giving the trophy to Lily, Jenna allows the youngster member of the group a chance to have her moment in the spotlight, Lily kissing the cup before raising it above her head for the world to see, a few tears being shed in the ring as this is a proud moment for all these women.

Priyanka next to get to lift it, going to each corner to hold it up, Lily and Jenna giving her a clap as they are happy that she has finally being rewarded for all her hard work in the gym and the ring since joining the FCBA.

All three leave the ring with Nicole getting to hold the cup up on the way up the ramp, next year the event could be anywhere in the world but as tonight showed, this event means the world to those involved in it.
