Michelle Keegan versus Elizabeth Henstridge

(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)

(Beever's Babes vs Girls Friday)

Intro:
Two English flyweights that are struggling to find a win lately hope
to use the other as a stepping block, Michelle Keegan and Elizabeth
Henstridge fight it out tonight.
Michelle is 31 years old; she stands 5'4 and holds a record of 38
wins, 33 by knockout, 30 defeats and she is a former BBU flyweight
champion.
Elizabeth is 30 years old, she also stands 5'4 and holds a record of
18 wins, all by knockout and 7 defeats.
Both women were interviewed at their gyms, with Michelle working the
punchbag with her trainer Denise Lewis holding the bag.
It is Denise who actually speaks to the press "look guys; I know you
need a word from Michelle, but I am sick of you guys distracting her
before a fight, so let keep punching hard Michelle and show them what
you are going to do to Liz!"
Michelle proceeds to hammer the punchbag with thudding punches, sweat
rolling down her brow as she works, Denise smiling all the while.
"That's what Elizabeth has to look forwards too, Michelle is sick of
being on the losing end and Liz is going to get punished for it" says
Denise as she waves the journalists out the gym.
At the Girls Friday gym, Elizabeth smiles as she finishes cooling
down, telling the journalists "I can't believe I actually like
workouts now, when I started off here I hated doing this, now well I
am in great shape and I love this"
But when asked about losing lately, Elizabeth looks to smile it off
and replies "well it certainly hasn't been a great time for me, like
everything else I do; I will just grin and bare it and look to beat
who I face next"
She quickly adds "I know Michelle will not be easy to beat, a former
champion and I've seen how fit she is, I know I can do this" showing
her fists to the camera filming this and nodding to the journalists.
Fight night; Michelle jogs out on stage to a loud cheer, she raises
her fists in the air as she dances on her toes, before jogging down to
the ring with Denise behind her.
Her attire tonight consists of a white sports bra, red trunks with
white strips down the side, red shoes and red gloves with white
thumbs, her hair is in a ponytail.
Climbing into the ring; Michelle jogs over to her corner and mounts
the bottom rope, flexing her arms as she smiles, hopping down, she
shadow boxes as she awaits her opponent.
Elizabeth jogs out on to the stage to her own loud cheer, she is
wearing a black shirt with "master of the sweet science" on the front,
a big smile on her face as she heads down to the ring.
As she reaches the bottom of the steps; her coach Taryn helps her with
T-shirt, taking it off to reveal that she is wearing a black sports
bra with white trim, matching trunks, black shoes and gloves, her hair
is also in a ponytail.
Getting into the ring; Elizabeth jogs over to her corner, getting a
hug from her cutwoman Eva Carneiro and Taryn, before taking a deep
breath and beginning to warm up.
Soon enough the fighters are brought to the ring centre, where they
square up to each other, eyes locked as they touch noses and invade
the others personal space.
When asked to touch gloves, they step back and touch them up as they
looks keen to get started, the referee signals for the bell to begin
10 rounds of flyweight action.

straight and lands an overhand left to turn Michelle's head, allowing
her to come back at her opponent.
The fighters move to the ring centre; where they start going toe to
toe, a classic flyweight exchange occurs as the fighters stand to

their main weapons as they try to work out gaps in the others defence.

cleaner shots as they open up more, Elizabeth boxes more off the back
foot as Michelle looks to keep the pressure on Henstridge.

slips under a right cross to come back up with a right hook that puts
Elizabeth back on the defensive.
The round ends with Michelle allowing herself a small grin, Denise can
be heard telling her "that's much better, she hasn't the weapons you
do, out smart and outfight her"
Elizabeth on the other hand nods to Taryn as she heads back to her
corner, the coach knowing she doesn't need to tell her that wasn't
great, just calmly pointing out things she needs to work on.
Round 3:
Michelle looks to keep on the front foot, coming on more aggressive as
Elizabeth looks to stay on the outside, both landing stiff shots to
the others face as they move around the ring.
As Keegan looks to step in with a left and right cross, Henstridge
dips under it and lands to the body, coming up with her own uppercut
that pushes her opponent onto her heels.
Now Elizabeth is giving Michelle a taste of her own medicine, knocking
her back onto the ropes with three punches smacking Michelle on her
face.
Michelle fights back with both women slugging it out; sweat flying off
them as they turn the others head around, Elizabeth has to step back
when she gets caught with a right hook.
But as Michelle looks to push; she gets caught with a straight through
her gloves and a left/right cross to her cheeks that forces her behind
her gloves.
Elizabeth keeps the pressure on as she now steps forwards, drilling
her punches into the gloves of Michelle, who can't find a way from her
guard to fight back as seconds tick away.
The bell rings to end the round with Elizabeth looking the happier
now, jogging back to her corner with a big smile on her face.
While Michelle gets told off Denise "come on! I've told you that you
are better then that, don't make me a liar!" Telling her how to go
about getting back control.
Round 4:

countering with a straight off the nose of Michelle, adding two more
punches to the face that force Michelle behind her gloves.
The "Agents of Shield" star pushes forwards, keeping Michelle stuck
aimed towards the ropes with her punches crashing into the gloves of

BACKSIDE!
The crowd look as stunned as Elizabeth; who sits and shakes her head
as the count begins 1...2...3...4 the bell rings to save Elizabeth it
seems as Taryn rushes out to help Elizabeth up and back to her corner.
The Girls Friday corner crew working on getting Elizabeth fully woken
up for the next round, Elizabeth nodding as Taryn berates her for
getting sloppy.
In the opposite corner, Michelle shakes her arms to them limber as her
eyes are locked onto Elizabeth, knowing she has to come out hard and
fast.
Round 5:
Michelle goes straight for Elizabeth; watching for any counter punches
as Elizabeth is covering up and clearly looking for a chance to
recover.
Elizabeth tries to come out her guard with a right cross that sails
over the head of Michelle; who comes firing back with a right to the
body and a left hook up top.
There's a definite wobble in the legs of Elizabeth; WITH ANOTHER
UPPERCUT FINDING A WAY THROUGH HER GUARD AND A LEFT HOOK SENDS HER
TUMBLONG TO HER SIDE!
As the count begins; Elizabeth is blinking but has a glazed look to
those eyes, 1..2...3....4 Elizabeth rolls to her back and lays spread
eagle out 5...6...7...8 spitting her gumshield out 9...10 she is done!

Winner Michelle Keegan KO Round 5

After:
The crowd erupts for Michelle, getting her second win of the year and
understandably she looks overjoyed as she raises her arms in the air
with a winning smile on her stunning face.
Looking down at Elizabeth; Michelle clearly wants this to be a moment
remembered as she nudges the ringside doctor checking Elizabeth out
and mounts her beaten opponent.
Flexing her arms as cameras record this moment, something she will
want rivals to see and know she is on top form.
Of course the Girls Friday crew are not happy, Taryn pulls Michelle
off; with Michelle just smiling at her before jogging back to her
corner to get cleaned up.
Elizabeth gets helped from Taryn and Eva back to her corner, the
moment hits her as she starts to come out her daze and she puts her
head down, looking embarrassed after looking strong but getting caught
too easily.
Taryn doesn't look too happy either, her face is beaming red and she
tosses the bucket in the corner to the center of the ring, getting a
telling off by the referee as it nearly hits them.
Soon enough after she is cleaned up and checked on; Elizabeth leaves
the ring with help from Eva acting like a clutch, her fans cheer her
as loudly as they always do, Elizabeth knows she has to change
something or will continue being stuck being knocked out.
In the ring; it is a much happier place then outside it, Michelle gets
her hand raised and a pat on the back by Denise, her fans chanting her
name making this moment the more sweeter.
After leaving the ring, pundits are asking themselves if this will be
the moment Michelle pushes forwards again, she is loved by lots of
people and knows she can be a champion, can she do it in the FCBA?
