Before: “I am fine,” Mary assures press and public, “people should know by now that Mary Elizabeth Winstead is tough and I bounce back from a fight. So I don’t want any more talk about me and Taylor Swift. I am focusing on THIS fight and defending my title against Eiza. Eiza’s won 5 of her last 6 fights plus I have never fought her before. So Eiza is an unknown opponent except for tape, of course, but you can’t really know a fighter until you’ve faced her in the ring. But that’s Eiza’s problem, too, so I’m not too worried about that. I just want fight a good fight and hold on the title belt.”

Says Eiza Gonazalez: “This is my first title shot and very excited about it. I’ll be facing a really tough opponent in Mary Winstead, but I have been fighting so well lately that I believe I can win this fight. I think the title belt would look very nice around my waist.”

“But it looks even better around mine,” Mary interjects cheerfully.
