Before: “I didn’t win my debut fight last month against CJ Perry,” admits Australian actress Ruby Rose, “but at least I finally got my debut. Now this one won’t be any easier. Sophie Turner had over a dozen fights and she’s taller than me, but she’s 7-6 so that shows she’s not invincible. I feel I have what it takes to wear her down and get my first win.”

Sophie Turner keeps staring at Ruby Rose’s extensive body art. Ruby smiles: “You want me to come over so you can look at them more closely?”

“Oh, sorry—I mean—that is a lot of tattooing,” Sophie stammers red-faced.

“I like to think they help distract my opponents, though I will admit it didn’t help against CJ Perry,” Ruby says ruefully.

“Well—um—I sure this will be an exciting fight. I had a difficult 2018, I want to get 2019 off to a good start,” Sophie says, getting back on track.

“But I want my first win,” says Ruby, “and I think that will give me more motivation.”

“Motivation alone doesn’t win fights,” Sophie replies.

“We will see,” Ruby says with a tight smile, “we will see.”

After: Sophie Turner accepts the cheers of the crowd as she walks the ring waving and posing for the fans. She stops by Ruby Rose’s corner to assure herself that the Fighting Academy fighter is recovering and shares an encouraging word with clearly disappointed Ruby,

“It was a good fight,” Sophie tells the press later. “She did give me some problems, but I overcame them and managed to take her out. I think she has a lot of talent and once she has more experience she’ll turn into a good fighter. As for myself, I am not sure. I would like to work my way to contention for a title shot, though I admit that will take awhile. I am just glad I have a win tonight.”

As for Ruby Rose: “I can’t escape the feeling that I let this one get away. I know I was hurting Sophie in R3, but she came back and I was the one who got counted out in the 5th. I need to work with my trainers to make sure this does not happy again. Sophie Turner fought a good fight, but I could have done a lot better. I want to make sure this does not happen again.”

Ruby Rose continues to show promise, but that’s not the same thing winning a fight. She did give Sophie Turner a hard R3, but it wasn’t so hard that Sophie couldn’t comeback over the next 2 rounds and win the contest, Encouraging win for Sophie Turner and her fans hope to see her build on it in the year ahead!
