(18 / 5’3” / 5:0 FCBA / Front Street Boxing)

Elyse Willems
(34 / 5’3” / 3:0 FCBA / The Comediennes)

Results: Lookout! Story: The Comediennes

Pre-fight:

“I’ve watched her fights, she’s good,” says Billie. “Killer jab. Power. And she can take a lot of damage. I’ve been working on getting better technique wise, I don’t want to have to always rely on my power to win fights. And it might be tough to keep her down even though nobody has ever gotten up against me before.”

“Billie has had some dominant performances,” says Elyse. “But frankly she hasn’t faced competition like I have yet. She can punch out Noah Cyrus and Nicole Behaire, sure. But I’ve taken out McCurdy, Bell, Kendrick. These are some real fighters with a lot of experience. Plus, Billie hasn’t been knocked down… that’s going to change tonight.”

R1: There’s a buzz in the crowd as two very different rookies are set to go at it. Both girls have gotten off to blazingly hot starts to their FCBA careers. Each girl unbeaten. Billie in a black top and trunks with lime green trim. Elyse wearing an orange top and shorts with black trim. The bell rings and the fight is on!

Billie comes out aggressive. As sweet as she is in interviews, something clicks when she hears that bell. She tries to crowd Elyse early and work that body. She moves well, but Elyse sticks her with that jab and side steps. Billie misses with her next two punches and Elyse snaps another jab. The two girls with tight defenses, but Elyse is somehow managing to sneak that jab through Billie’s gloves. Billie is brushed back and Elyse steps in.

The blonde nails the teen sensation with another jab. Billie forced to take a few steps back again. Now Elyse has her crowded in the corner. Elyse throws a flurry of punches. Billie has to cover up as she gets banged around. Rights and lefts combining to nail Billie’s arms. As soon as her guard begins to dip Elyse hits her with a beautiful right cross. Billie is in trouble!

A left hook to Eilish’s temple and she’s reeling now. Her back hits the corner as Elyse goes low, pounding at the teenager’s body. It’s all Elyse as the bell rings. Eilish not landing a single significant blow!

Elyse getting a rare 10-8 without even knocking her opponent down.

R2: Eilish has lost rounds before, but that first one may have been the worst round of her life. She gets up from her stool and comes out clearly a lot wearier. Something Elyse tries to take advantage of.

The older girl works that jab past Billie’s defenses. Snapping it off like it’s as natural as breathing. Billie begins to move her feet though and she’s able to duck a right cross attempt by Elyse. Billie follows up with a jab of her own, slicing through Elyse’s guard. Billie follows up with a nice right cross that catches Elyse on the chin, and now it’s the blonde in trouble! Billie has so much power that even a grazing blow can turn a round on its head. And it sure does this round too!

Billie getting bolder now as she steps in, eating another jab but sinking her glove into Elyse’s ribcage. You can tell by the look on Elyse’s face that she’s never been hit that hard before! The blonde is on her heels as she tries to stand and trade blows with Billie. It’s a real bad idea as the singer’s jabs slice through Elyse’s defense and set her up for another right cross. This time it hits Elyse square on her cheekbone and she staggers back. Staying on her feet but as Eilish goes in for the kill the bell rings.

Eilish takes round two wide. We’re at 19-18 Willems.

R3: Elyse needs to be careful of that power, and as she comes out she comes out not willing to get too close.

Billie goes on the hunt, throwing bigger punches now. Hooks and uppercuts that just aren’t quite landing cleanly. They’re enough to knock Elyse to the side, but Billie is having trouble following up with anything substantial. A part of that is Elyse’s jab which stalls Billie’s advances.

Elyse is clearly following the game plan she had with Kristen Bell. Use the jab to frustrate her opponent and break through those combos. And it’s working well. Billie throwing a few more desperate blows. Clearly she has eyes on ending this early, but Elyse keeps stalling her with the jabs.

As the round ticks away into its final seconds, Elyse counters with a left-right combo that just barely gives her the round.

Willems up 29-27.

R4: Elyse comes out in a rhythm to start the round. Billie comes out with none.

Elyse tags her early and often with that jab. Billie doesn’t have a match for it. Even though she’s moving better, she can’t quite get through Elyse’s wall of jabs. Elyse hits Billie with a right cross and Eilish stumbles back. Elyse comes in close and starts pounding away at Billie’s body.

McCurdy, Bell, and Kendrick all know how much power Elyse has and now Billie is starting to feel it too. She’s forced to the ropes and has to throw her arms around the blonde just to stall her momentum. They trade small stuff as the ref comes in to break it up. Elyse resets and starts throwing bigger punches now. A hook to Eilish’s ribs that makes the singer grimace. As her guard drops Elyse hits her with another right cross and then a left to follow. She’s outclassing Billie now, full stop.

Elyse continuing to stay in close, working Billie over. Bam, bam, bam. Really taking control of the fight now. Eilish is taking all sorts of damage! She’s got no defense! Elyse looking to end her here and now. She promised she’d put Billie on the canvas and it looks like she’s about to deliver.

BAM!!!

Billie throws a right uppercut out of nowhere. Elyse’s head snaps back and her knees give out. She topples to the canvas as the ref runs in to point Billie into a neutral corner. Elyse never saw that blow coming and now she’s down on all fours. She reaches for the ropes and pulls herself up to her feet, shaking her head and blinking rapidly. The ref makes sure she can continue and then motions Eilish to come back in.

Eilish stands Elyse up and begins to pound away at her. Elyse covers up, not looking to open herself up to Billie’s power again. The bell rings as Billie steals the round with a late knockdown.

We’re tied 37-37.

R5: If Elyse can take any solace it’s that nobody has been able to get up from a Billie Eilish knockdown before. She stood back up, but as round 5 starts she’s sorry that she did.

It’s clear Billie smells blood in the water and maybe she’s upset that she didn’t knock Elyse out. She’s on Elyse almost instantly as she throws furious combos at the damaged blonde. Elyse covers up best she can. She tries to slip that jab out but she gets a face full of leather when she does.

As Elyse keeps her guard up, Billie decides to work the body. And she works it hard. Elyse can’t take too many blows before her defense begins to slip down. Billie has the faintest whisper of a smirk on her face as she nails Elyse with a left hook. Another massive blow as Elyse goes down for a second time!

Billie goes to a neutral corner as she watches the ref count over her opponent. He gets all the way to eight before Elyse is able to stand and affirm she’s ready to keep going. The crowd is in shock! She gets back up not once but twice from Billie’s power. The singer doesn’t take too kindly to that.

Elyse throws nothing as Billie comes barreling towards her. Another blow to the stomach and Elyse now fully banged against the ropes. Billie working the body and then waits for that guard to drop. When it does she works back upstairs, knocking Elyse from side to side. Elyse has absolutely nothing. She’s getting battered. Her eyes barely open. She fully leans against the ropes for support. Her hands drop. Billie smacks her around with a vicious left-right cross combo.

The ref rushes in and stands between the two, waving the fight off. It’s over. Elyse flops into her trainer’s arms as Billie dances her way back to her corner with her arms raised. Another incredible display of power by Eilish!

Winner: Billie Eilish TKO Round 5

Post-Fight:

“If I learned anything from tonight it’s that I shouldn’t be complacent,” says Billie. “I’m so used to being able to just put girls down and they don’t get up. Tonight was different. Hats off to her, she handled my power better than anyone else. But now I know there’s something there to work on and I’m going to keep trying to get better and better.”

“Really felt like I was out-boxing her,” says a clearly pained Elyse. “She just… came out of nowhere with that uppercut. The rest of the fight is kind of a blur, honestly. I thought Kristen hit hard but that… that’s another level. I guess I don’t have that since I couldn’t put her down. I’m not sure what’s next for me. It’s my first loss and my stable’s first loss. I’d love a rematch but who knows when that’ll be available?”
