Before: At the pre-fight presser, the Champ Mary Winstead is meeting Fates Boxing’s Emily DiDonato for the first time. Emily is eyeing Mary warily, but Mary is a jovial mood.

“You have had 69 fights in 5 years, but never one with me, Emily, I do admire a hard working and obviously successful fighter, but I am a little disappointed this has taken so long,,” Mary says.

Emily manages a cautious smile: “It wasn’t by design, I assure you, but I have to say that having the title belt on the line makes this special.”

“You seem a little nervous, Emily,” Mary says, “I know I have a reputation for not respecting models, but I’ve had enough experience with you Ladies of the Runway to have changed my opinion. All I have to do is look at your record and know you the Real Deal at Lightweight and a worthy opponent for me. Say, I did catch you smothering out that Valerie What’s-Her-Name at the mini-PPV. I was hoping you would use a Body Saddle on her. Long legged models make great mounts.”

“I was making a point about post-fight humiliations,” Emily said, “I trust you got my point.”

“I am not that easily intimidated,” Mary says with a shrug. “You worried about the post-fight? I promise it won’t involve a Body Saddle or you wearing a French Maid’s Costume. I think a Walk of Shame would be perfect. I’d be so cute hauling around someone two inches taller than me.”

“I am not that easily intimidated either,” Emily retorts, “but I meant what I said then: You humiliate me in the post fight and you will pay—eventually.”

“I’ll take my chances,” Mary says, “but I am actually looking forward to this fight. I brand new opponent is exciting to me. Please be worthy of my interest.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that,” Emily said, “I am plenty worthy of your interest.”

“We shall see,” Mary said, “see you in the ring.”

After: Mary warmly congratulated by teammates Alexandra Daddario and Sophie Turner. Mary climbs turnbuckle and raises her arms to salute her cheering fans. She hobs down and her her gloves removed. By this point, she can see that Emily DiDonato has been revived on her stool. Mary strides across the ring.

“OK, Em, time for you take a walk with me,” Mary says.

Emily scowls: “All right, all right.”

Emily gets up and Mary gets an arm around her waist. They take their stroll, but they are barely half done when Mary reaches down and grabs the back of Emily Emily’s purple panties. She yanks them in a wedgie that has a protesting Emily on her tiptoes as they finish the walk. Emily is seething as they reach the Fates corner. She angrily pulls away from Mary.

“I warned you not to humiliate me!” Emily cries. “You went and did it anyway! I swear I will get you for this!”

Mary smiles: “How else could I be sure you’d want to fight me again? It will have to be after my title run. You’ve had your shot, but the year is young. There will be an opportunity for revenge-- eventually.”

“You better believe it!” Emily shot back.

“I’ll be waiting. Oh., and another thing—great fight Emily—you’re really good. Keep fighting, you’ll get this belt from somebody else one of these days,” Mary said and moved away.

Emily looks more than a little dumbfounded: “That girl really is nuts--I can’t wait to fight her again!”
