Before: “I like to think of this as ‘Christmas with The Carolina Cyclone and The Santa Barbara Slugger,” Mary Winstead cheerfully. “I just know it will be a lot good boxing and fun. If nothing else it will be drier than our last fight that Boxing on the Beach in 2017 where you knocked m into the ocean.”

“Hey, you yourself said it was a fair knockout, but I think I could do without having to drag you out of the surf again,” Katy Perry said agreeably.

“And it will be the rubber match between us. I’d beaten you back in 2015,” Mary said.

“How could I forget? I lost my Lightweight Title to you. I have to thank you for this chance. I thought after I my title shot in April I wouldn’t be getting another opportunity this year,” Katy said.

“I just wanted to see you in a Santa-Kini and if I could sweeten it up with a title shot, so much the better,” Mary said. “I do hope you’ve picked out a cute outfit.”

“Trust me. I love a sexy Santa outfit. Just be sure you’ve got something that won’t be too outshone by mine,” Katy teased.

“Oh, I’ll do my best,” Mary said.

There is much interest as the two fighters and their entourages approach the ring. Both are wearing Santa hats but their ring attire is concealed beneath faux fur trimmed Santa robes, It is only in the ring that they slide out the robes to the cheers of the arena crowd.

“Very nice, Katy,” Mary pronounces.

“They will look so good when I pose for the victory picture of the Santa-Kini Winner of 2018,” Katy says confidently.

“Hmm,” Mary says thoughtfully.

THE WINNER AND STILL FCBA LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD DEFEATS KATY PERRY KO8!

After: Mary warmly congratulated by trainer Rachel Nichols, Alexandra Daddario and Laura Vandervoort join in. Mary smiling, waving to the fans as she walks the ring by herself. She stops by the Front Street corner where Katy has been revived and is now being tended to. She and Katy exchange kind words and hug. Then MEW spots Yvonne Strahovski come to the ringside and crouches down to share a hug with her best friend. Finally, the happy and smiling MEW rejoins her Foxfire friends and they all head to the locker room. Word has it that Foxfire owner Marvin Fox has organized a big holiday blowout for the whole Foxfire crew. They certainly have much to celebrate tonight.

The fight itself was an excellent one. Katy Perry tried hard, but that darned Winstead durability came back to bite her. Katy had seemed to be wearing MEW down over the first 5 rounds including a R5 shutout. Yet clawed her way back over R6-8 to finally put Katy down for the count in R8. Another impressive victory for Foxfire’s hard fighting lightweight no word who will get the next shot at the champ, but they should know Mary E. will not give up the belt without one terrific fight! Meanwhile, a frustrating loss for Katy Perry. She fought well most of the way, but when Mary made her late rounds comeback, Katy couldn’t stop her and lost her title shot. However Katy remains one the best lightweights out there and she looks to remain in title contention as 2019 dawns. All in all, a fine night for FCBA Lightweight fans and it promises more good fights in the year to come.
