Before:

Flyweight action sees Katherine McNamara and Camila Mendes stepping foot in the ring. The two girls have met once previously and McNamara won in the JMD fight. Mendes is still furious about her foe’s victory and subsequent tiara crowning, and vows revenge.

“This is not a JMD fight, but Kat is going to think it is one afterwards when I beat her.” Camila declares. “She will be sorry for that tiara and her JMD action.”

Katherine laughs, “You’ll be sorry when I beat you a second time.” McNamara then lunges after Mendes, and security steps in to pull the two girls apart as no love is lost between the two flyweight girls.


Come time for the fight, Mendes is introduced first, the Odds and Ends girl wearing a black sports bra and matching trunks with white gloves. Moments later, McNamara makes her way to the ring, wearing an orange top with matching gloves blue bottoms. The two girls stare at each other and refuse to touch gloves, forcing the ref to call for the bell.


Round 1:

The two flyweights begin the fight by circling each other, jabbing to probe the other girl’s defenses. Mendes lands the first blow and follows up with a left to younger actress’s ribs, but McNamara comes back with a right that clips Mendes in her face, knocking the older fighter backwards. Kat steps forward and digs in two sharp lefts to Camila’s torso, forcing the smaller girl to clinch before Kat gets too many blows in. The two girls start circling each other again, and McNamara is throwing the jabs as Mendes focuses on keeping her guard up. The Odds and Ends girl finds her counters as the round progresses, though McNamara winds up and lands a big right into Mendes’s torso, drawing a groan out of the older fighter as time in the round expires.


Round 2:

Mendes is quick out of her corner, baiting a jab from McNamara. Camila backs away from the blow at the last second, baiting Kat to jump forward. Mendes hammers a left into the redhead’s flank, putting a wince on McNamara’s face. Camila follows up with a right to the redhead actress’s face, knocking her backwards and forcing Katherine to put up her guard. Mendes works around McNamara’s guard, tagging her body. Kat backs up and puts her reach to use, keeping Camila at a distance until the raven-haired actress times the redhead’s blows and knocks her into the ropes. McNamara finds a solid right to Mendes’s torso, but the redhead is forced to clinch as Mendes overpowers McNamara. The referee separates the two girls and the two circle for the remainder of the round. The bell rings and the second round goes to Camila on points.


Round 3:

Mendes picks up where she left off, absolutely pounding McNamara’s body to start the third. Kat struggles to trade back at first, but she finds a big right into Camila’s body to turn the tide. McNamara goes to her jabs as Mendes drops backwards, and Mendes is forced to plant her feet and go for the clinch for a break. Kat goes for a right out of the break, but Camila is ready for it and slips the strike before connecting with a right to Katherine’s jaw, knocking the redhead backwards. McNamara covering up as Mendes advances, tagging the redheaded actress’s body and working her backwards. Katherine keeps her guard up, but Camila’s early efforts are paying off as she fights from close quarters to the bell.


Round 4:

Camila goes right back to where she left off in the third round and starts tagging Kat’s body. McNamara comes back with a big right that clips Mendes’s ear and briefly knocking the other actress off balance. McNamara pounces and drills Mendes in her ribs before clipping her in the chin, knocking her backwards. Camila drops back as on comes Kat, the redhead using her extra reach to bully the shorter girl backwards. Mendes plants her feet and lands a blow into McNamara’s face, forcing the taller girl to drop back, and now it is Camila who is stepping forward. Camila gives Kat a shot and the redhead retreats, gloves up. Mendes goes for another right but McNamara is ready and counters with a left that clips Camila in her chin. McNamara steps forward but the bell rings. The fourth goes to McNamara on points.


Round 5:

Katherine hitting her stride as she charges out of the corner and socks Camila with a right that sends her staggering backwards. McNamara surges ahead and buries two lefts into Mendes’s body as Camila plants her feet and trades with the redhead, getting the bigger girl in her body. The two girls trade a flurry of blows until Kat connects with a big right into Camila’s midriff and Mendes is forced to clinch. The referee steps in and when the fight resumes Kat goes right back to punching away at Camila. Mendes’s guard shows signs of weakening as McNamara hammers blows into her opponent’s torso and gloves. The redhead slips a right through to Mendes’s face, knocking the older fighter backwards. Kat steps forward again and nearly goes down from a right hook out of nowhere! McNamara is sent reeling by a haymaker from Mendes and the bell rings to save the redhead. Kat is clearly struggling as she gets back to her corner despite winning the round on points, and Camila may have done what she needed to to turn the fight.


Round 6:

The two actresses step out of their corners to start the back half of the fight and McNamara is clearly hurting from the previous round. The redheaded actress is nearly stationary and Mendes takes advantage, the former champion absolutely hammering every inch of legal flesh of McNamara’s body. Kat connects with a right jab to Camila’s face, knocking the older actress backwards, but the Odds and Ends fighter comes back with a right hook that spins Kat’s head! McNamara stumbling backwards, her guard faltering as Mendes slams her gloves into McNamara’s protection. Kat goes for the clinch but Camila avoids the clinch and connects with an uppercut that drops Katherine to the canvas face-first. McNamara’s not moving and the ref takes one look before calling for the bell. Your winner by KO6, Camila Mendes!


After:

The ref barely called for the bell before Camila sheds her gloves and flips Kat onto her back. McNamara groans as Mendes drops onto her stomach, the redhead slowly returning to consciousness.

“Oh honey, you’re back with us,” Camila coos, “Time for some payback.”

Mendes presses her chest into McNamara’s face, smothering out the redhead. McNamara weakly flails her arms with the little strength she has left before her arms fall back to her side. Camila holds the smother for a few seconds longer, not satisfied with how quickly Kat passed back into unconsciousness before she disengages and stands, planting her foot on McNamara’s body as she basks in the crowd’s noise.

“I kept my word,” Camila tells the press, “I got my revenge and made sure Kat knew it. There are consequences for jugging me, and I proved it tonight.”
