MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD VS ADRIANNE PALICKI
“Santa-Kini Bout”
(Sceej Boxing vs Foxfire Boxing)
Writing: Archer Results: Lookout

Before: “I want to welcome Adrianne to ‘Santa-Kini Boxing’. Some may think it is a gimmick but since my first bout in 2007, I have been involved in 4 and didn’t actually win one until I knocked out my good friend Yvonne Strahovski. So there is hope for you yet,” Mary Elizabeth Winstead cheerfully tells a crowd of reporters. (Mary is showing her Yuletide spirit with red leather shorts and a tight fitting SANTA-KINI FIGHTER 2014 top).

Adrianne (who is in green short shorts and tee shirt that says SANTA-KINI FIGHTER 2014) smiles with equal good cheer and says: “Thank you, Mary, I think those a pretty decent odds especially since I knocked you out the last time we fought in 2009. That wouldn’t be why you happened to think of it, would it?”

“Oh, you beat me. Why it must have slipped my mind, lots has happened since then,” Mary says with tongue-in-cheek. “Hopefully lots more will happen when we’re both in our Santa-kinis.”

“I do love the way you say that word,” Adrianne says, “I know you like saying it, but I think you should be prepared for another disappointment. One of us is going to lose and I don’t intend for it to be me.”

Come the night of the bout, the two ladies come down to the ring in Santa hats and thigh-length Santa coats. Upon entering the ring, a valet removes the hat and coat for each fighter leaving the fighter resplendent in a Santa-Kini. Mary’s is a shiny red satin bra an briefs with white faux fur trim, across the bottoms written in flowing letters is MEW. A MEW monogram is on the left breast cup of her bra. Black boxing boots and red gloves with a big red bow binding her pulled back hair completes Mary’s attire.

Adrianne’s features a white bikini with red faux trim and across her bottoms in red lettering is ADRIANNE PALICKI. Adrianne wears black boots, green gloves and has a big green bow holding back her hair. Both ladies are cheerful and look eager to have-at each other.

R1: Mary gets off to a smooth start, moving quickly across the ring to hammer Adrianne in close from the start. Adrianne fights back with a determined jab that knocks Mary’s head back, but Mary starts moving her head evasively to counter the jab and gets some nick hooks into Adrianne’s midsection. Fighters commence to circling each other, staying close, and looking for openings. Adrianne tries some quick hooks to Mary’s abs and then tries to force some uppercuts into Mary’s jaw. Mary evasive here and rattles Adrianne.s teeth with a quick straight right on the chops when Adrianne’s guard gets a little too low. Mary pushing forward varying her attack with shots to the belly and head. Adrianne not backing off, but she’s definitely getting the worst of the exchanges. No dangerous punches landed as the round ends, but Mary is a clear winner on points.

R2: Mary and Adrianne still fighting close. Adrianne much more active this round, banging Mary to the body with strong hooks as Mary presses forward. Mary taking the punishment to land on Adrianne’s head and she is sending tremors through the Sceej boxer’s body with several of these noggin knockers. Adrianne grimly hanging in and she really pounding away at Mary’s belly and then works her way up to belabor the Winstead rack. Mary grimacing as her hooters are pancaked, but she strikes back and lands a beaut of a straight right between Adrianne’s eyes. Adrianne stumbles back from this and Mary darts in trying to follow up, but Adrianne’s tough and Mary gets battered by Adrianne’s defensive jabbing. Mary circles, trying to get Adrianne from a surprise angle, but Adrianne blocks her until Mary does finally land a powerful hook to the belly that makes Adrianne gasp and bend forward. Mary bangs a couple of quick lefts and rights off Adrianne’s skull, but then Adrianne pulls back so quickly Mary’s big right hits only empty air. Mary unable to close on Adrianne after that and has to settle for winning the round, though by a close margin.

R3: Adrianne fighting harder now as she tries to wrench the offensive away from Mary. This sets up a furious exchange in the center of the ring. Really great punching as the two circle, move in and out. Adrianne starts out with a return to Mary’s body, but soon reveals her real interest this stanza is Mary’s jaw. Mary’s not backing down from the challenge, trying to maintain control of the action, but her jaw is being hit again and again from left and right as she tries to use her offense as a defense, but her cheekbones are reddening and red spots are appearing on both jaws. Mary finally has to get her gloves up higher and Adrianne is more than happy to pound Mary’s pudding the rest of the way, though Mary is jabbing back now and bouncing shots off Adrianne’s forehead.

R4: Adrianne using movement and her longer reach this round as she circles Mary and looks for opportunities.

She then braces herself as Mary comes thundering in ready to finish the job. Adrianne shaken, but determined digs in behind her jab and meets the Winstead offensive punch for punch. She manages to slip a overhand right in over Mary’s gloves to smack her nose.

Adrianne hunching over from the repeated impacts she is being forced back towards the ropes. Adrianne tries to slide her way passed Mary, but Mary blocks her way and now she’s finally getting in punches in over and under Adrianne’s weakening upper guard. As Adrianne’s butt hits the strands, Mary moves in to keep the blonde hung up while thundering punches into Adrianne’s gut.

She makes an all-out effort early in this round and Adrianne is fighting desperately to keep her from doing it. Still, Mary able to bounce punches off Adrianne’s head and she keeps up the pressure with single-minded focus. Then Adrianne suddenly makes a move to right as though to try to escape. Mary lunges to block her, but in doing so she lets her guard weaken and Adrianne suddenly swings a left hook through a gap and cracks it off Mary’s jaw. Mary reeling and Adrianne is on her with a frenzied series of lefts and rights that have Mary’s head bouncing alarmingly. MARY GOES DOWN! One second, Mary is backing up, the next her legs stiffen and she crashes back like a felled tree! She lands on her shoulders, arms flung out and legs up in the air before crashing to the canvas! Mary’s eyes are fluttering as the referee starts to count. Mary tries to rise. She manages to roll onto her side, but then just as the count reaches “…NINE!” she unexpected collapses on to her back again and it’s OVER!

The Winner: KO9 Adrianne Palicki!

After: Adrianne wearily raises her arms in victory, but looks concerned about Mary, but the Foxfire ring crew revives her with some smelling salts and then helps her to her feet. Mary looks downcast, but nods her head at Adrianne in acknowledgement. Adrianne hurries over to hug Mary and then let her be taken away for a post-fight check.

“Wow!” Adrianne tells the press, “Anybody who thinks these Santa-Kini fights are some kind of joke had better re-think that now. This was one of the hardest fights I’ve been in and it feels really good to have been able to beat someone as tough as Mary Winstead. What a night!”

Later, after assuring the press that the post-fight check showed no long-term problems, Mary tells the scribes: “That was nice of Adrianne to say. I will say that it was close, but she was just a little bit better than me—tonight. It was disappointing to lose, but I gave it all I could so I have nothing to be ashamed of and I’ll just start getting ready for my NEXT fight.”

Very exciting fight from two fine young boxers. It was close on the cards when Adrianne brought the bout to a decisive finish.
