After the boxers' info was shown, an introduction movie played. The introduction movie showed how Gabby Jay was working as a waiter at a café near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. He then saw a poster that read: "Join the WVBA today!", and feeling the need to take up boxing, he went to the Glass Joe School of Boxing and managed to graduate after defeating Glass Joe.
The scene then cut to the boxing ring, where Gabby Jay was ready to fight Klaas. "Ooh, un nouveau boxeur pour tester mes compétences! Cela devrait être amusant!" (Translation: "Ooh, a new boxer to test my skills on! This should be fun!") Gabby Jay spoke before the match started.
"Fight!" The referee exclaimed as the match started. Klaas proceeded to throw a few punches at Gabby Jay, hitting the Frenchman in the head as he exclaimed at the punches he took.
"Ça fait mal..." (Translation: "That hurt...") Gabby Jay remarked before he threw another punch back at Klaas, which he managed to block easily. Klaas then threw a few more punches at Gabby Jay as the Frenchman exclaimed once more at the blows he took. Gabby Jay then jumped back to use his signature Taunt Punch.
"Allez, allez!" (Translation: "Come on, come on!") Gabby Jay exclaimed before jumping forward to land a punch on Klaas, but Klaas countered by hitting Gabby Jay in the stomach, knocking the Frenchman down instantly as he fell forward on his stomach. The referee then stepped forward to count down on Gabby Jay.
"One! Two! Three! Four! Five!" The referee counted down before Gabby Jay proceeded to get back up again.
"Je n'ai pas encore fini!" (Translation: "I'm not done yet!") Gabby Jay declared as he got back up to fight again.
"Come on, come on! Fight!" The referee spoke as the fight resumed.
"Laat maar zien wat je in je hebt!" (Translation: "Show me what you've got in you!") Klaas told Gabby Jay in his native tongue, Dutch. Gabby Jay then proceeded to throw another jab at Klaas, but Klaas dodged and threw another round of punches at Gabby Jay. The bell then sounded, signifying the first round of the match ended.
The scene then cut to Klaas and Gabby Jay sitting in their respective corners. "Laisse moi gagner! J'ai perdu tellement de fois, j'ai oublié ce que c'est que de gagner!" (Translation: "Let me win! I've lost so many times, I've forgotten what winning feels like!") Gabby Jay told Klaas as he awaited the next round to start.
"You can say what you want about Gabby Jay, but the sucka's determined. Let's try to make his determination his downfall." Doc Louis instructed Klaas.
"I get what you're saying, Doc. I'll do the very best I can to use that to my advantage." Klaas nodded.
The second round of the match then started, and Gabby Jay proceeded to wave to the audience, and received a mixed reaction of cheers and boos from them. "Mets tes mains ensemble pour moi!" (Translation: "Put your hands together for me!") Gabby Jay happily told the audience before turning his attention back to Klaas.
"Fight!" The referee told the two boxers as they engaged in battle once more. Klaas proceeded to throw another round of punches at Gabby Jay, managing to earn a Star Punch. Klaas then proceeded to throw said Star Punch at Gabby Jay.
"Oh, non!" (Translation: "Oh, no!") Gabby Jay exclaimed in horror as he took the Star Punch to the face and was promptly knocked down. The referee then walked up to Gabby Jay once more to count down.
"One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight!" The referee counted down before Gabby Jay got up to fight once more.
"Un autre tour!" (Translation: "Another round!") Gabby Jay declared as he proceeded to use his Taunt Punch once more. "Allez, allez!" Gabby Jay exclaimed once more as he jumped forward to land a punch on Klaas, but just like before, Klaas managed to knock him down instantly with a blow to the stomach, sending the Frenchman to the mat, flat on his stomach. The referee then walked up to Gabby Jay once more to count down.
"One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!" The referee counted down before Gabby Jay got up one more time.
"Nog niet genoeg gehad?" (Translation: "Haven't had enough yet?") Klaas asked Gabby Jay as he proceeded to land another flurry of punches on the Frenchman before the bell sounded once more, signifying the second round has ended.
"Mon médecin m'a conseillé de prendre ma retraite, mais je ne le ferai jamais! Pas avant de gagner un match de plus!" (Translation: "My doctor has advised me to retire, but I never will! Not until I win one more match!") Gabby Jay declared as he awaited the third and final round to start.
"Gabby Jay is in no hurry to retire, Klaas. So hit him so hard he's forced to retire." Vinny instructed Klaas.
"I got it, I got it." Klaas nodded at Vinny's instructions. The third and final round then proceeded to start. Klaas stood up from his corner, pounded his fists together and walked up to Gabby Jay.
"Fight!" The referee told the two boxers as they engaged in combat for the final round. Klaas found at least three weak spots on Gabby Jay to gain three Stars to execute a 3-Star Punch. Gabby Jay then proceeded to prepare his Taunt Punch.
"Allez, allez!" Gabby Jay exclaimed once more as he prepared to execute his Taunt Punch, but Klaas knocked him out with his 3-Star Punch, sending Gabby Jay flying through the air as croissants scattered across the ring and Gabby Jay landed flat on his back, groaning in pain.
"Knockout!" The referee declared, signifying that Klaas had won the match.
"Ja! Gelukt!" (Translation: "Yes, I did it!") Klaas cheered in celebration over his victory over Gabby Jay.
Later, after the match, Klaas met with Doc and Vinny backstage. "Woowee, Klaas, baby! You really showed that sucka what for! How about we schedule your match with the next challenger same time next week?" Doc asked Klaas.
"Sure. I enjoyed that last match. See you then." Klaas smiled as he began to head to his dressing room.
"I've got a good feeling about Klaas, dad. He might just be the next WVBA champion." Vinny told Doc with a smile.
Doc smiled and nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I've got a good feeling about him too." He agreed.
