Winner Scarlett Johansson KO Round 6

After:
That's a big win for Team USA and Scarlett; who raises her arms in the air and shouts "come on!" As she gets the team on the right foot from the off and surprisingly it's her first win in 2 years!
Virginia applauds her as she steps into the ring; Scarlett thanking her for the training as they smile widely knowing how big this win is.
While Emily is wakened up by the ringside doctor, she blinks several times to clear her head as she is helped to sit up.
Understandably Emily is upset as she looks at Scarlett with a tear running down her left eye as she tries to hold it together, another big fight she has lost after such an amazing run last year she had.
It doesn't help that Scarlett glares at her; there might be respect but both have learned how dangerous the other is in this very physical fight.
But that seems to have led to ill feeling between the women as they both get cleaned up and come to the ring centre for the result to be announced, no words being exchanged as Scarlett gets her hand raised.
The looks they exchange though as Emily heads past Scarlett says more then words could, if looks could kill and all that, well it fits perfectly as neither seems happy to know the other is in their orbit in the FCBA.
As Emily heads up the ramp; Nikki tells her "next time you'll get her" with Emily replying "you're damn right" with the crowd applauding her off.
Scarlett is more focused on celebrating as she laughs and jokes with Virginia on the party the team will have tonight.
"I hope there's a knockout of the night award since that is going to take some beating" says Scarlett as her and Virginia head out the ring to their locker room.
The big news right now is that team America is 1 ahead in the FCBA international cup, how will team Rest of the World react?
