(The Dollhouse vs Free Agent)

Intro:
Tonight's card sees the debut of currently one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Jessica Chastain meets Zoe Saldana in Madison Square Garden.
Jessica is 40 years old, she stands at 5'4 and as stated she is fighting her first official bout.
While Zoe is 39 years old, stands at 5'7 and holds a record of 7 wins, 6 by knockout and 8 defeats to her name in a career that spans 8 years.
The fighters shook hands as Jessica looked nervous, Zoe eyeing her up; trying to work out if it is an act or is the Hollywood star really like this.
She gets an answer as the girls speak with Jessica telling the press "erm.. Well what do I say; I am new to this sort of thing, I have been looking at the FCBA for a long time but didn't have the nerve to do it"
Looking at Zoe, she points and adds "see look at Zoe; she is super athletic, a good boxer, I have never seen myself as those things"
But she adds "now though with help from Carmen (Electra) and my favourite sparring partner Kathryn (Winnick) she has taught me so much, so I feel less overwhelmed by this, I know I need to do everything I can to win against such a great opponent for my debut"
Zoe takes it all in, chuckling at the woman whose older then her but she bets has never been in a real fight judging by her demeanor.
She replies "why thank you Jessica, I train as hard as I can to be the best I can, this body has taken a long time to perfect; so it's nice to hear respect"
Continuing "but no offence; I am not going into that ring with kid gloves on, I like you but I am not a charity case" grinning at her future opponent as she looks at her like a predator eyeing it's prey.
The girls quickly shake hands as Zoe seems to grip Jessica's hand with a little too much strength, trying to get into her head, before they separate and head off stage.
Fight night; Jessica is out first wearing a red sports bra, red yoga pants with black 'Venum' gloves with a red pattern on, red shoes and her flame red hair is up in a ponytail.
Kristanna Loken is by her side, telling her "remember what we spoke about, you are going to beat Zoe's ass all over that ring!"
Climbing into the ring, Jessica smiling and waving to her fans, the crowd giving her a warm welcome as she heads to her corner, limbering up with help from Kristanna.
Now out comes Zoe; she is wearing a baby blue sports bra, matching coloured lyric shorts, shoes and gloves, while her brunette hair is braided.
She is smiling as she jogs to the ring, shaking her arms to keep them loose as her coach tells her "no mercy no matter how much she cries" as both laugh.
Getting into the ring, Zoe bounces on her toes in the ring centre, giving a quick demonstration of her hand speed for Jessica, who watches and needs Kristanna to get her out her stupor by telling her "she's all flash"
Soon the fighters are brought to the ring centre, they look each other up and down, seeking for any weaknesses in their opponent's.
Before asked to touch gloves, Jessica looks at the referee before she turns to Zoe, both touching gloves as the redhead says "good luck Zoe" which gets a nod and a grin from the younger woman.
After both fighters get to their corners, the referee waves to the timekeeper to signal for the bell to begin 10 rounds of bantamweight action.

Round 1:
Out come both fighters with Jessica having a tight guard, looking hesitant early on as Zoe does all the early work, moving on her toes to move side to side and land her jab off the gloves of her opponent.
Zoe looking for gaps in the defence of her opponent, finding a staunch defence in front of her, leading her to push Jessica, look to ruffle her feathers to get the fight going in her view.
Jessica looking surprised; her guard opening up and allowing Zoe to spank her face with a double jab to force her back a step and begin to get something going.
Both fighters trading at midrange now Jessica has to open up or risk losing the fight by just standing and covering up.
But Zoe has her gap to work through, her longer reach allowing her to punch through the mitts of Chastain to cause her to grunt out as her face gets a taste of leather.
To her credit Jessica doesn't run away, though she is still focused on guarding, which means by the time the bell rings, Zoe has the round won and strutting back to her corner.
Kristanna tells Jessica "your defence was good babe, but you need to fight, if you let her run riot then the fight will bypass you and we will wonder why we signed you"
Jessica turns to her coach and answers "don't say that! I'll do better I promise" which makes Kristanna point at Zoe and usher her fighter out for the next round.
While Zoe bangs her gloves together, ready to get back out to teach Jessica a lesson in her mind.

Round 2:
Zoe again looks to move around and keep Jessica on the back foot, her jab smacking off the gloves and forearms of the older fighter.
This time though as she looks to swing a hard right around the guard, Jessica ducks underneath and comes back with an overhand right to turn Zoe's head around.
The redhead beginning to push Zoe back, hammering away at her body as the taller fighter gasps partly in shock at her nervous opponent finding her feet in the fight.
After being shoved away, Jessica blocks the straight and starts countering Saldana; slamming her punches into the lips and chin of the brunette.
Zoe does manage to get several punches to the body of Chastain, it is Jessica though who is landing the cleaner punches, showing that the Dollhouse seems to have worked on her defence as that is what she is dependent on.
Jessica slips under a right cross to dig a right to the ribs of Zoe, followed quickly by a left hook up top to push her opponent onto the back foot.
It's Zoe now stuck behind her guard as Jessica keeps her moving backwards with a four punch combo that slams off the gloves, before lighting up the body of Zoe with two short hooks.
The bell rings with Jessica turning the tables on Zoe, who storms past Jessica to get to her corner, annoyed at herself as she slams her gloves off the top turnbuckle in her corner.
Her coach telling her to refocus on the task, she looks up at him and nods as she takes a breath to calm down, looking at Jessica and thinking how she is going to cut through that iron clad defence.

Round 3:
Both fighters meeting near the ring centre, Zoe using that reach advantage to search for gaps, probing more with her punches as Jessica comes forwards, searching for her own chances on the inside.
Zoe lands a double jab to the nose of Jessica after a missed right from the redhead, she adds a right cross to start to back the older fighter back towards the ropes.
Jessica getting stuck behind her guard again as Zoe uses her reach advantage and just keeps throwing punches at her opponent.
But she starts to look frustrated as Jessica's defence proves durable, maybe she lacks the power to really break through.
It gives Jessica time to think as she watches keenly for an opening, soon getting under a frustrated right hook attempt, before landing her own to the body of Saldana.
Then she comes back up with an overhand left that turns the bigger girls head, allowing Jessica to start to drill her fists into the abs of Zoe.
Who fires back to try to force Jessica back, but the compact size of Chastain means she is such a hard target to get at, meaning she is able to drive Zoe onto the ropes with a body work drill, punch after punch digging into her body.
Zoe needs to push Jessica back and get back to working behind the jab for the last few remaining seconds in the round.
The bell rings to end the round with Zoe looking steely as she heads to her corner, trying to hide her emotions as she stares at her coach and is clearly wondering what to do.
While Jessica sits looking up at Kristanna after taking a deep breath, trying to keep calm as she doesn't want to get overexcited.

Round 4:
Zoe looks angry as she pushes out herself out her corner, going straight at Jessica and pounding away at the guard.
The rookie showing looking a little stunned by the change in demeanor in her opponent, her guard protecting her from most punches, but now some are starting to find their way through to her face.
Zoe driving Jessica back towards the ropes, Jessica forced to fire back; leading to both slugging it out in close, the crowd roaring the fighters on as the fight seems to come to life on both ends.
It's Zoe winning the exchanges now as she steps back to jam two straight punches to the nose of her opponent, before stepping inside to rip away at the body of her older opponent.
Her assault ends though as Jessica grapples onto her, Zoe almost screaming as she looks up to the ceiling pissed off by the tactics of Jessica.
The referee breaks them apart with Jessica moving off the ropes and Zoe has to be held back as she tries to get at the redhead right away.
Instead Jessica is able to move her head out the way of a more erratic Zoe's attack, countering as she starts to open up more now that her opponent is missing on her own.
A missed straight opens up Zoe to a counter right that lands onto the liver area of Zoe, who loudly groans out in pain.
Jessica maybe lacking that killer instinct as she looks at Zoe who is retreating with wide eyes, Kristanna needing to shout "f***ing finish it!"
She goes on the attack after that but the bell rings before she can do much more to Zoe, who is still catching her breath as she heads back to her corner.
Kristanna telling her fighter "Jessica you need to learn to take chances like that! You landed one of those perfect counter punches we've worked on and yet you were the one who froze, knock her out!"

Round 5:
Zoe looks to be trying to get back into a rhythm, but she is not fully recovered clearly as Jessica finds it easier to duck and dodge her punches.
Chastain starting to open up more now she's looking more confident, aiming predominantly at the body of Zoe, knowing she is struggling to breath.
Soon she manages to feint with a left and showing good hand speed, lands a right hook to the side of the body of Zoe to cause her to groan out in pain.
Zoe needing to shove back Jessica after she takes another two body shots, her face almost a constant grimace as she is really feeling dig to the body.
Jessica maybe a bit slow to get to the inside, she is continuing to stalk Zoe back with the bigger fighter managing to land a few jabs to show she is still here.
But soon a missed right hook allows Jessica back in tight again, driving her winded opponent onto the ropes, really landing thudding punches to the body of Zoe.
Who needs to clinch up with the smaller Jessica, struggling to hold her arms, but looking relieved to be able to lean on her smaller opponent.
Separated; it's Zoe who is trying her best to cover up and retreat as Jessica continues to stalk her, showing some of her training now as she starts to cut the ring off.
A stiff straight catches Zoe on her chin to open her guard up more, allowing Jessica to start slamming punches off the face of Saldana.
Again though she is too slow to finish the fight in this round, the bell sounds with Jessica turning and jogging to her corner, while Zoe just looks a shell of the confident woman who stepped into the ring at the start of the night.
Zoe needing to stand and lean on her turnbuckles in her corner, ice packs being held against her body as her coach does everything he can to try to give her some chance.

Round 6:
Jessica is straight across the ring as soon as the bell goes, Zoe trying to cover up and fight out of her guard as she keeps the ropes behind her.
IT'S NOT LONG INTO THE ROUND THAT JESSICA FEINTS A RIGHT TO THE BODY AND LASHES A LEFT THAT CAUSES ZOE TO CRY OUT, THE FOLLOW UP RIGHT TO THE BODY FINALLY PUTS HER DOWN ON ALL FOURS!
The referee waves Chastain to a neutral corner, he begins his count 1....2...3...4... Zoe spits her gumshield out as she sucks in air 5...6...7.. She makes a feeble attempt to push herself up but her arms give way and she lays flat on her face 8..9...10. She is done!

Winner Jessica Chastain KO Round 6

After:
Not the greatest fight, but it was a good win for Jessica, who while she has a lot to learn mentally in the ring, skill wise she showed she has a great starting base with that mighty defence she employed here.
She jumps for joy as Kristanna shakes her head, the coach grinning ear to ear as she thinks that Jessica might secretly be 20 the way she is celebrating.
Patting Jessica on her back, Kristanna tells her "wonderful job Jess! Just next time promise to finish off the opponent early so we can go get a takeaway and have an early night" with Jessica laughing in reply.
While Zoe needs to be helped up by her coach, she is still finding it hard to get her breath back after the beating her body took those last few rounds.
Jessica goes over and checks on her, when Zoe does get her breathing somewhat back to normal, she admits "you're not half bad red, I still think I could have taken you if I was smarter"
With Jessica just nodding, Kristanna needing to step in to pull her away as Zoe starts telling Jess where to improve, the coach pointing out "you beat her remember, stick to what we teach OK?"
Zoe looking disrespected, though Kristanna isn't wrong say pundits at ringside as they begin to discuss the debut of Jessica.
Inside the ring though, Zoe steps out to let Jessica have her moment; which she does by bowing to a crowd that shows it's love to her by clapping her loudly, with a few wolfwhistles thrown in.
Before Jessica leaves the ring to get a hug by her best friend in the stable Kathryn Winnick, who tells her how proud she is of her.
The Dollhouse team heading up to the ramp to go back to their locker room, questions on whether Jessica has started way too late in this dog eat dog world of the FCBA will abound.
Tonight she has shown she can win and at the least she is being rated to trash the Jolene Blalock's, maybe Julia Stiles of the celebrity boxing world.
