Before: “I’m not afraid of fighting JMD, or of Camila,” Katherine declares. “It was always something we were going to try, and now’s as good a time as any.” Still, it feels like this is a change of pace to try to break her out of a 1 for 4 slide.
“Kat’s never been breast-smothered before,” Camila notes, “so it’s good for her that she’ll be getting one from a fully-trained opponent!” O&E’s acquisition of a fourth JMD tiara last month, matching legendary JMD powerhouse JKO’s performance, makes her the betting favorite, but Camila’s 1 for 3 summer finds her also in need of cementing her reputation as a top-tier fighter.

Katherine enters wearing a white sports bra and orange trunks with white gloves, hair shoulder length and wavy. Camila enters in her signature black high-waisted bikini, black gloves, hair back in a battle pony.

R1: Camila bouncing to the attack, hopping in with her jab, then putting bang-bang combos together. Katherine fadiing the pressure, then sidestepping - occasionally stooping to reach jabs into ‘Mila’s tits, keeping her honest. All Mendes in hot pursuit for two minutes: she's not landing anything clean against McNamara's slick slips and pivots, but the pressure's undeniable. Late the round, Katherine suddenly lets hands go - punching-with Camila midring, surprising the brunette toe-to-toe. McNamara up on her toes as she turns a swift palm-down hook across Camila's mouth: MENDES IS ROCKED! ‘Mila put wobbly butt, blinking rapidly, stumbling backward as Kat looks to pile on. Flurry chases Mendes to ropes; short right cross turns her head...then McNamara is up and in those hanging jugs, hookin' 'em senseless. Crowd on it's feet; Camila wilting into ropes, lips parted in astonishment: Katherine steals the round late, claims heavily against jugs at bell.

R2: Two way flurry midring - girls getting off short n' swift to opposing racks. Camila up on her toes to turn over a palm-down hook, turning redhead chin...KATHERINE'S LEGS GIVE A SHIMMY! McNamara stoops forward in woozy earmuff: Mendes clips a tidy right/left uppercut sequence off jugs, clipping forehead on followthrough. Trade in stubby right crosses goes 'Mila's way; Katherine battling through adversity, but she's getting all scuffed up, brunette VERY cute here walking redhead into clipping, chipping little uppercuts and hooks to body & breasts. Rounds ends to the sight of McNamara butt-in-ropes again, fighting hard from a peek-a-boo guard, trying to punch Mendes off her. Stiff ginger resistance prevents any kind of finishing run, while Camila stays atop Kat at bell.

R3; Camila initiates, fight, and wins little set-piece exchanges all around the ring: girls bobbing and rolling on the spot, hands up/elbows in tight to bodies. Not much to hit - both girls digging hooks in behind right elbows, or working tidy right/left uppercuts against opposing racks. Mendes bouncing a right hand off McNamara's hairline at one point, and jabbing her mouth stiffly at another, just doing enough to edge the redhead out. Importantly, anytime Katherine reaches under ‘Mila's arms to get tummy to tummy and work from the clinch? Mendes either disengages to scamper away, or hangs on tight for ref's breaks.

R4: Katherine pouting, but punching, sliding back in a bouncing stance; fitting Camila for pre-emptive straight right hands off the shoulder. Mendes relentlessly boring in, creating turning battle off the ropes. McNamara keeping her distance, bouncing her fists off ‘Mila's head and shoulders, brunette bobbing, encroaching, applying pressure with her legs. Down the stretch, Kat stepping backwards shows her class and exquisite timing, walking Mendes onto a glorious right uppercut to chin that SENDS MENDES TO CANVAS! Awkward sprawl as ‘Mila's back knee gives way, pitching her chest-first to canvas: Katherine exhausted, mouthbreathing, walks to neutral corner hands-on-hips as Mendes gathers herself up.

R5: Camila with her head up, punching crisp from her shoulders - straight lefts and rights criss-crossing against Katherine's face, beating her shiny. McNamara bobbing on the spot, showing crossed arm or earmuff as she's moving her head: they’re timing each other now, hopping into short little hooks to chin that drain the hope from each other's legs. Every once in a while, hopping hooks will destabilize one or the other, her knees will bennnnd, then straighten as she staggers away forlorn, tears brimming every time she can't bear-up under the other's thunder. Midway through, Camila hooking wide for ribcage, Kat jabbing-jug: both girls turn into short right hands to chin and DOWN GOES MENDES! Back knee gives way again, turning ‘Mila to her right, then pitching her to her chest...she's crying quietly with right cheek down, eyes closed, body still and it's OVER! Mendes just can't get off her tummy: KO5 in rollercoaster fashion Katherine McNamara in her JMD debut!

After: Camila slumped against ropes, Katherine standing right there, spitting out her mouthpiece, using her teeth to gnaw the tape off her gloves. Hungrily—she tells the ref “Get her gloves off.” Mendes just slouching, eyes half shut, sullen, lips parted, her arms limp as the ref’s tugging at mitts. McNamara finally doffs her mitts and leans in, reaching for ‘Mila’s damp skull, Mendes still wears her right mitt as ref staggers back.

Kat brutally simple with Camila, roughly clamping her face to jug in a secure lock: left arm snug behind the neck; left hand clutching right bicep; right hand gripping a fistful of damp hair atop ‘Mila’s skull. Poor Camila’s gloved right hand paws at McNamara’s shiny lower back, helpless: it’s just ginger giving it to brunette, all one way.

No resistance from Mendes butt in ropes, she sits and soaks, sopping up jug from Kat. McNamara resting her left cheek against ‘Mila’s head, just letting muscular arms and bulging breasts do the hard work of putting Mendes all the way out. Feeling her foe relax and soften, Katherine finally releases—stepping aside to let sleeping brunette tumble face-first to canvas. Signaling for the tiara, she has herself crowned posing with her foot on Camila’s upturned buttocks.
