Emily DiDonato: 28 years old, 5’10,” 11-5 overall with 11 KO since 2017, 1-2 JMDD, Fates Boxing

Before:

Emily DiDonato looks to get back some momentum after her loss to Upton and takes on fellow Sports Illustrated model Julie Henderson in the latter’s FCBA debut in a JMDD match in Sin City itself, Las Vegas. Henderson doesn’t appear nervous in her interview and shows off her personality quite well.

“I know that Emily’s had a great 2019. But here’s the thing – I’ve been preparing myself for the FCBA for a long time. I saw the other SI models getting their calls and now it’s my turn – and I am going to seize that moment, lay waste to Emily and show her that her jugs can’t compete with mine, and start making some noise,” Julie emphatically declares before the fight.

Emily is dead serious in her interview, clearly feeling like she has something to prove after losing to Upton last month. “I don’t care that she’s an SI model or my size, maybe even bigger. I am going to take care of business and get back on the winning track. Julie is in my way, and that means I am going through her.”

Come fight night, the crowd in Las Vegas is already boisterous before the women come out from the back. Julie Henderson is announced first and as she steps out in front of the crowd, the crowd cheers. Henderson wears a blue and pink bikini set that shows her cleavage and leaves little to the imagination. Her gloves are solid pink and her blonde hair is up in a ponytail. As she walks towards the ring, she wears an intense look on her face as her breasts are bouncing up and down with her movements.

Once Henderson settles in, the announcer introduces Emily DiDonato and the brunette emerges from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers as DiDonato comes into the light, wearing a tight-fitting purple bikini that shows off her figure with matching gloves, her hair up in a bun for the fight. DiDonato strides to the ring confidently, showing off her long legs and toned body and curves to the crowd as she gets to the ring.

The two women go breast to breast as they stare each other in the eye as they stand at the same height. The ref coaxes them to back off from each other as he briefly goes over the rules before asking them to touch gloves. The two cock their heads slightly and after a brief pause, reluctantly touch gloves before the ref calls for the bell.

Round 1:

Julie Henderson wastes no time in introducing herself, immediately firing off powerful lefts and rights whose power catch Emily off guard. The blonde Henderson catches DiDonato in the breasts and then plows into her body, wailing away on DiDonato’s ribs as Emily desperately tries to prevent Julie from getting her into the ropes in the first minute, but a quick straight right from Henderson to DiDo’s mouth drops Emily back into the ropes! The rookie fighter is taking it to one of the best lightweights, and she is showing no signs of stopping as she pounds Emily as the brunette is in the ropes. The Texan rips rights and lefts across Emily’s breasts and ribs until DiDonato can finally clinch and force the referee to break the two models apart. After the break, Emily stays away from Henderson, but when she jabs out, she usually gets the better end of the trade. However, Julie doesn’t want to let Emily start gaining ground, and she darts in and punches Emily from close range, pancaking Emily’s jugs at the bell before smirking as she walks back to her corner. No question about this round, Henderson wins it wide as she takes it to DiDonato.

Round 2:

Julie bounds out of her corner and looks to pick up where she left off, keeping up the tempo and driving hard punches at Emily’s body. Henderson makes contact early, laying into Emily’s toned model body, but DiDonato shows her grit as a good lightweight and drives hard blows into Henderson’s body. The rookie fighter tries to avoid yielding ground, but all she ends up doing is taking two hard blows to the mouth that draw a bit of blood and now Julie is backpedaling with her guard up as Emily repeatedly tags her with punches to her ribs. DiDonato hammers Henderson into the ropes and absolutely wails away on the Texan’s jugs. Henderson has trouble clinching and DiDo lays on the hurt until Henderson finally wraps her arms around the brunette and clinches. After the break, Julie keeps her distance from Emily, but the brunette from New York still makes solid contact with her punches and Henderson only lands a pair of counters that don’t even phase Emily. The bell rings and Emily goes back to her corner knowing that she evened it up by taking the round on points, wide.

Round 3:

DiDonato seems to have found her groove in the second round and continues it into the third, starting off with a series of feints that completely fool Henderson and leaves Julie with several punches to the face. Julie decides to plant her feet and fight back and lands a punch into DiDonato’s rack and a follow-up to her mouth, leaving the brunette furious. Emily and Julie start going blow for blow as neither woman is backing down from their opponent. Both 5’10” models lands solid shots, but DiDonato lands a beautiful cross that makes Henderson shaky and

DiDo follows up into her body, driving fast lefts and rights into Julie’s midriff and seems to be unable to land a punch in response. Henderson decides her only recourse is to clinch, but Emily makes that difficult as soon as she senses what Julie is trying to do and backs off, firing punches at a greater distance to make it harder for Julie to clinch, clipping the Texan’s chin with two straights. Henderson scrapes together some semblance of offense just before the bell, but she barely seems to hit DiDonato’s body and Emily barely reacts. To the surprise of nobody, Emily takes the third and is in a commanding position heading into the fourth.

Round 4:

Emily confidently starts the fourth round with powerful straights, looking to nail Julie in the mouth, but when she punches out, Julie dodges out of the way and pops a quick right into Emily’s rack, souring Emily’s mood. Henderson starts getting into her own groove, jabbing at DiDonato as both women have the same range, but this time, Julie is the one landing her punches and moving her opponent backwards. Henderson lands a quick one-two pair into DiDo’s chest. Julie looks to continue her offensive streak and drives a hard right at Emily’s head, but it barely grazes the brunette’s ear. Emily quickly repositions herself to Julie’s left and pumps two quick rights into her body, getting Julie to back away from the brunette. DiDonato pursues Henderson, lashing out with lefts and rights, but Julie blocks most of them with her guard and starts working Emily’s ribs, closing distance to punch DiDo’s ribs and then backing out. Emily lands some good counters, but at the end of the round, Julie reversed Emily’s momentum and took the round on points, close.

Round 5:

Both women emerge from their respective corners for the fifth, and Julie wastes no time in going after Emily, pounding the brunette’s body early on with punches that Emily seemingly can’t answer. Every time DiDonato tries to counter Julie, the blonde halts DiDo’s response with a well-placed punch to either Emily’s chin or chest, buying her the time to back off. Emily charges after Henderson after being stopped for the third time and DiDonato’s aggression catches Henderson off-guard. Emily drives lefts and rights into Julie’s midriff and chest as Henderson keeps her guard up high. Julie makes a quick dash to her right and then absolutely pounds Emily’s chin with three quick punches, and now Henderson is on the move. Emily punches back at Julie, but Henderson dodges and catches DiDonato in the nose with a right that knocks her into the ropes where Henderson opens up on the brunette. Henderson unleashes a beating on DiDo’s rack and body as the brunette can’t seem to find a counter and goes for the clinch, trying to ride out the storm. The referee separates the two women and they start circling each other. Henderson the one who is taking the initiative, punching at Emily and landing hits – but DiDonato forces her to take a hit every time she deals one. Julie ups the tempo and aggression, hitting harder and getting closer to Emily – and BOOM – DiDo crushes a right hook into Julie’s jaw – DING! The bell seems like it saved Henderson from an onslaught from Emily and Henderson looks wobbly as she walks back to her corner. Julie took the round on points, but that last punch from DiDonato seems like it did a lot of damage.

Round 6:

While Julie took the previous round, she took a nasty punch from Emily at the end of the previous round and she is still hurting from it as winces when getting up from her stool. Meanwhile, Emily bounds out of her corner with time to spare and when Julie gets up, Emily takes it to the blonde, powerful lefts and rights coming from Emily and landing on Julie. Henderson has her guard up, but DiDonato is picking around her guard and making Henderson give up her body. Emily turns her attention to Julie’s midriff and her punches drive the air out of Henderson’s lungs and draw moans out of the blonde. Julie tries to punch Emily back but she whiffs badly and DiDo nails an uppercut that nearly drops Henderson, leaving the opposing model on wobbly legs. Henderson desperately tries to throw herself onto DiDonato in the middle of the ring and clinch, but Emily pops a left into Julie’s nose that stops her in her tracks and leaves her stunned as a trickle of blood flows out of Henderson’s nostril. DiDonato then connects with a massive right hook to Julie’s jaw and down goes the blonde! Emily retreats to the corner as the ref starts to count. Julie’s eyes are shut and this one is over – your winner by KO6, Emily DiDonato!

After:

Emily screams, “About time,” as she’s declared the winner, gets her gloves off, then goes straight to a semi-conscious Julie who is sitting up but clearly dazed. DiDonato then gets in Henderson’s face:

“You have a lot of fight in you, Julie,” Emily tells her, “But you can’t hold a candle to me and you will learn why my jugs stopped your jugs tonight.”

“Upton showed you don’t have the tits for JMDD, I’m not afraid of you.,” Henderson forces the words out of her mouth.

DiDonato stares at Henderson and then unleashes a nasty right to Julie’s body, sending the blonde back into agony. Emily then drags Julie over to her corner before removing Henderson’s top and pulling Julie into a standing breast smother. Brave rookie Julie struggles in Emily’s cleavage as she refuses to stop fighting but slowly fades. Julie’s face slowly slides down from Emily’s rack to her toned stomach to just above her bikini bottoms. Emily steps away and Julie falls down into the turnbuckle as the triumphant brunette then poses for the crowd, adjusting her bikini top to show off her cleavage.

Afterwards, Emily grabs a microphone: “Despite what everyone has said, no, Upton did not end me. I’m still here, taking names and winning fights. Don’t worry – I’ll be coming back for my revenge against Kate. But until that day, you best believe that I am going to keep on winning fights in the hopes that one day, I will be lightweight champion.”

DiDonato drops the mic having announced her focus for the near future, and struts out of the ring.
