BEFORE: "She's very stiff-looking, to me," Elizabeth Olsen muses in prefight. "Robotic. If we were wrestling, I know I'd win - I'd just wrap her up in my legs and torture her. She's fit and strong, so it'll take a while to wear her down in the boxing ring, but I don't see any real problems. Just a matter of touching her, frustrating her, then making her quit."

Blunt on the cusp of 'new Britain' coming to America these days - she along with Natalie Dormer in the front rank of UK starlets looking to carve out territory in the new world. "Some fights are a happy coincidence of strategic necessity and aesthetic appropriateness," Blunt comments at podium. "This fight is one of those. It would be a mistake to leave Olsen unbeaten as I move against the division - now is the time to clip her wings. I notice Natalie Dormer is positioning now as well, so there's no room for error. I will not be stubbing my toe on Elizabeth Olsen!"

Olsen in tan bandeau top; maroon bikini bottoms; black gloves; blonde hair straight/behind the ears. Blunt in pale blue lace bra/tuggable navy bottoms in velvet, with a bit of a hip; white gloves; blonde hair straight/behind the ears. During ref's instructions, Emily scowls as Olsen lifts hands drowsily above her head and executes a little belly-dancing shimmy on the spot, always maintaining eye-contact as she's slow-rolling her hips.

R1: Olsen bouncy, loose-kneed in her stance, right dangling at her side as she lifts the left, dropping the jab from above shoulder-height, then bouncing out of range. Blunt visibly cautious due to Olsen's supple movements...Elizabeth adding to Emily's wariness by executing lithe, half-speed Ali-shuffles at times, freezing Blunt in her tracks, smiling at Emily's uncertainty. Not a lot of contact - Olsen being all supple and relaxed - threatening with her left hand while gliding about: Emily dukes up/elbows in, eventually putting the jab to work in Olsen's chest by way of range-finding exercise in the dying moments.

R2: Blunt up-tempoing, closing behind a pinging double-jab; pounding the rib cage via swinging right/lefts, looking to catch Olsen the extra left hook as Liz lopes away. Olsen with hands dangling at her sides as she bops/slides/steps around - looking to walk Blunt in, then swat her sneaky from either hip. Emily the more active girl, attacking torso with vigorous strokes...Olsen unhurt, but doing more escaping than fighting through 2.

R3: Olsen limber - right hand dangling as she pokes jabs while pivoting clockwise - knocking little taps pesky enough to keep Emily's guard up. Blunt jabbing-with in spots - trying to step in strong and whack the ribcage...Olsen legging out of range rather than hang around and trade-with. Down the stretch, Liz times Emily's pinging jab to perfection, sweeping the dangling right up and over British left, clouting Emily across the mouth for points through 3.

R4: Emily pressurizing Liz behind that nagging double-jab...British girl hounding American to ring aprons, belting the body right/left as Olsen hops to either side. Liz hard to trap on the ropes - lifting hands above her head and sliding sideways to escape...Blunt a persistent pursuer however, making the fight through 2 minutes. Down the stretch, Liz circles to midring - freezes Emily with that lithe Ali-shuffle; cuffs her a slapping hook, then CLAPS her a swinging right hand flush to chin! EMILY'S HURT! Blunt staring as she staggers to her right...Liz smirking, hands at her sides - she weaves-torso in close, slipping panicky Blunt left/right, then placing a thudding hook in Blunt's liver. Cringe-face, Emily...she backs into ropes, covers up face-in-gloves and trembles as Liz closes, touches her left hand to Em's right shoulder, then BURIES the left hook in thick behind right elbow at bell. Liz smiling en-route to corner, nodding her head; Blunt wincing, cranky; Dormer enjoying Emily's discomfort from ringside.

R5: Liz hopping in with weight on front (left) leg, hands still very low as she weaves-torso Decesare-style, lashing either hand thickly about Emily's hips and waist. Blunt hunkering down in the pocket, blocking with her elbows...she bides her time and midway through, she answers back hook-on-chin immediately upon receipt of Lizzie's licks. Head-toggle, Elizabeth Olsen...HER legs buckle and stumble...she manages to right herself, forming high earmuff as Blunt digs the ribcage left/right, then scours the guard via scraping right uppercuts. Liz chased back to ropes, but recovering well from hurt...down the stretch, she makes straight-punching Emily miss with tic-tock side to side torso-slips, then answers swinging left hands from a right-leg plant; swinging rights from the left-leg plant - denying Blunt the chance to clean up.

R6: Liz lithe, but aggressive - being leggy and bendy with her hands low, but when she bounces forward weight on front (left) leg, she'll pick the left hand up and drop jabs onto Emily, pelting her until a sweeping right from the thigh breaks the pattern. Blunt wide-eyed with all the reads she's forced to make, but battling back well in spots: straight-sticking jabs do land on Olsen's face at times, and Blunt's strapping the ribcage to good effect with either hand in a hotly contested 6th.

R7: Olsen dipping and slipping, hands dangling at her sides as she stoops to reach jabs to Emily's tummy, or lifts the left hand up to knock-jab Em's pate. Blunt looking to counter-off-the-block, tempted by the seeming availability of Olsen's head, but 1 minute in...slinging right over Emily's probing left crashes onto British jaw, PUTTING EMILY DOWN! Blunt dropped to right knee/right hand by shot she doesn't see: delighted Olsen skips away, preening in neutral corner as Emily rallies off the deck. Olsen wades in to finish, encounters stiff resistance...girls fight pate-to-pate with Emily digging in desperate off the ropes. Liz can't close the show...Blunt giving good as she gets as fighters crowd close with left shoulders/elbows, bumping each other about, then strapping in thick. Bell: Olsen still at Emily - ref pulls Academy phenom off her foe as tempers flare all around.

R8: Spitting jabs/crisp right hands drive Olsen to ropes early...she tries slugging off her hips, but gets drilled one-two clean to chin...LIZ GOES DOWN! Olsen spilling forward, rump-high on knees and elbows...Emily snarling, stomping angry-butt to neutral corner as she gets the quick answer-knockdown. Frazzled 8 for Liz, Emily wades in...CLAMBAKE! Blunt trying to finish Liz; Olsen dipping side to side, heaving haymakers off her thighs; both girls dipping torso-low to shoulder the opponent in the body, then slug off the bump. EMILY GOES DOWN! Looping right behind the ear drags Em out of orbit, scattering her to all fours facing ropes...excited Liz straddles British back, looming forward and shouting "GET UP!" Ref sorts Liz away; Blunt climbs ropes...British girl glassy-eyed, bottom lip trembling because she's SO disappointed to have given back the points. ON COMES LIZZIE! Emily forms face-in-gloves/butt-on-ropes...Liz crowds close - touching left hands to right shoulder/ear, then DIGGING left hooks in behind British right elbow. Blunt's trim legs hold her up, but she's trembling, blinking away tears at bell...Olsen showing emotion with a furious expression back to her corner!

R9: Spirited Emily takes the fight to Olsen, jabbing American girl to ropes, then engaging. Blunt bending into chopping rights; lifting left uppercuts to body off her left (front) plant-leg. Olsen grimacing at the determined touches, but battling back...supple vixen able to slug effectively while laying back in ropes, twisting her torso into wallops off either thigh. Bitter uppercuts to the body take their toll on Liz late...Emily just getting up and in there snug, shoving home the harm from close range, beating Lizzie breathless by the bell. Ref forced to pull seething Blunt off: Emily lost in Lizzie-hate through 9.

R10: Liz with that knocking drop-jab while she's rotating clockwise; stepping out; limber Ali-shuffle; swinging right hand as Emily's momentarily mesmerized by leg. Blunt swept across the chops by insolent right hands, but taking them well...she jabs to locate Lizzie's chest, then drives-through on sturdy right crosses to chin. Back and forth - both girls opening up - even though Academy corner is screaming at Liz to box out the clock. Down the stretch, Liz flat-footed, dukes chest-high/elbows in...she's shimmying her shoulders, giving cute little angles to slip Emily's shots, then cuffing back compact clout from either hand. Blunt punched cleanly upon her face in the dying moments - Olsen grinning as she outhits her opponent at the bell, then raising her mitts above her head/nodding confidently in Emily's face at the anticipated verdict. Comes back UD10 Elizabeth Olsen, just as she expected.

After: Blunt staring, stunned, puffy in defeat...harsh lesson tonight dished out by an unorthodox Liz Olsen who would not be denied. "I think my legs got inside her head a bit," Olsen grins in postfight. "She's a girl with a lot on her plate - scheming to take down Beckinsale; worried about Natalie Dormer...I don't think she was as focussed as she could have been coming in. I just relaxed and had fun, you know? She was easy to hit, easy to confuse...I just felt like, if I dictated position to her, there wasn't anything she could do to hurt me. Knocked me down once, but I wasn't HURT hurt. As you saw, I got up and made her pay for that, and actually, me getting up probably broke her heart in this fight, 'cause I don't think she wanted any more after she saw my courage!"
