Results: Lookout Writing: Archer
Jessica: 41 YO, 5’4 (1.63 m), 5-0-0, 5 KO since 2017, The Dollhouse
Before: “This is going to be a real challenge of a fight for me,” Jessica Chastain says frankly as she and Laura Vandervoort stand before the media in the press tent. “She’ll be the biggest opponent I’ve faced and the one with the most experience, especially on sand. It will be a real battle, but I am not giving up my undefeated record without doing everything I can to add this one to it.”
Says Laura: “I haven’t forgotten losing to Katheryn Winnick. I want to show the Dollhouse I am still a dominating fighter on the sand. Maybe I haven’t been as active the last couple of years, but I have been trying to change that this year. Frankly, Jessica is doing very well for someone her age, now don’t look at me like that Jessica, I am just stating a fact.”
“I hear that ‘fact’ before every fight and here I am still undefeated,” Jessica retorts.
“Nobody with an substantial number of fights stays undefeated. Your first loss is coming. I just want it to be me and in this fight,” Laura says bluntly.
“I’ve heard that before too and you don’t scare me. I want to win this and I will!” Jessica declares.
The fighters soon head over to the ring. They have been wearing beach robes in the press tent and as they enter the ring, they remove them. Laura is in a blue bikini with blue gloves, her blonde hair in a ponytail. Jessica is in a leopard print bikini with white gloves. Her red hair is in a battle braid down her back. Virginia Madsen is Laura’s trainer and Rachel McAdams has accompanied her to the ring. Kristanna Loken is Jessica’s trainer and Katheryn Winnick is there as well. Laura and Jessica are soon in the ring giving each other tense looks as the ring instructions proceed. Tap of the gloves and the fighters head for their corners. The bell rings..
R1: Laura moves swiftly across the sand, but Jessica is first to lunge forward and stuff a hook into Laura’s stomach. Laura looks startled at Jessica landing the first punch. Jessica quickly follows up with a quick making left to the chin and then a shot into the point of Laura’s chin. Laura stumbling back and Jessica advances quickly, but Laura able to keep distance between them until she can steady herself. Then Laura digs in and Jessica finds herself fighting her way through Laura’s tough jab. Jessica not giving up as she is really working Laura’s midsection, but she is getting hit hard to the breasts and sides of the head by Laura. Jessica gets to Laura’s chin again and staggers her with a short hard right uppie. Laura in slow retreat, but Jessica banging her to the sides of the head forcing Laura to use her gloves to protect her noggin. Time runs out on a hard-fought round. Judges give it to Jessica Chastain but it is close.
R2: Laura seems more cautious in this round and Jessica is quick to try to seize the offensive. Jessica strikes at Laura’s body once again, but then tries to surprise Laura to shifting her attack to the head. However Laura seemed to be expecting the move, she ducked to dodge the incoming right and flashed back with her own right to Jessica’s jaw, Jessica is hit hard and staggers away. Laura slides around in front and fires at the drowsy Jessica. Jessica struck hard to face and head, is in retreat, trying to deploy her jab. Laura giving her no rest, pummels Jessica into the ropes and flails away at the trapped redhead. Jessica going face in gloves and taking a seat on the strands, just endures the shelling to the bell. She looks woozy as she finally leaves for her corner. Laura already marching back to hers knowing she has won this round wide.
R3: After hard work by the Dollhouse corner crew, Jessica Chastain comes out looking much recovered from the beating she took in the previous round. Laura is unpleasantly surprised when Jessica comes punching her way forward and gets a barrage of hook busting into Laura’s belly. Laura stumbling away trying to straighten up to counter, but Jessica pounding ripping uppercuts between Laura’s weakly held gloves and in her chin. Laura growing wobbly as she tries to back up and Jessica plants the ol’ one/two on her jaw. DOWN GOES LAURA! Laura sitting down, arms braced against the sand and looking up at Jessica in groggy wonder. Jessica hastens to the neutral corner. Laura sitting there as referee starts to count. Laura seems to be using the time to regain her senses and then rises to break the count at “EIGHT!” Action resumes. Jessica again pressing Laura hard. Laura fighting back with the jab does manage to hold Jessica off down to the bell, but that knockdown has ensured Jessica she will win the round wide.
R4: Laura seems determined to erase that knockdown with a vigorous attack on Jessica. Jessica not about to let this happen and fights back hard. The two circle each other in the stand, trying with feints and quick moves to sneak in good punches. Both working the head and chest of the other as they punch away. Jessica then goes to the belly, but is answered by Laura smiting the side of her head. The two getting very close and referee is careful to break it up when they get too close. Late in the round Laura makes her big move, swinging for Jessica’s head, but misses and gets it hard in the gut. Laura shudders but an instant later catches on the chin and Jessica goes wobbly. Two lurch towards each other but seem to be holding each other up rather than punching. Referee pushes them apart. Jessica and Laura try to shake it off, but then the bell rings. They exchange looks and then go quietly to their corners. Round goes as a DRAW.
Both Foxfire and the Dollhouse corner crews are kept busy during the break. They manage to get their respective fighters out for the bell, but both are moving a lot more slowly, Laura comes out of the sluggishness first striking hard with a driving right that catches Jessica between the eyes. Blow sends Jessica back on her heels, her arms seemingly frozen at chest-high—and Laura sees an opening! Sarah launching swinging right and left clubbing blows as Jessica stands before her. Jessica’s getting knocked nearly flat against left and right shoulders in succession. Jessica tries to swing at Laura but now Laura brings hammering right and left upper cuts into her jaw. Jessica’s right foot comes off the sand as she topples backwards and lands on her back, arms over her head. Laura hurries to the neutral corner. Referee comes in and starts to count. Jessica’s eyes flutter open, she rolls to one side and tries to push herself up, but she shudders and falls onto her side, laying there moaning softly as the cpunt plays out above her:
“SEVEN!”….”EIGHT!”….”NINE!”….”TEN!”… YER OUT!”
After: Laura Vandervoort raises her arm in a victory salute as Rachel McAdams, Dani Fishel and Virginia Madsen climb into the ring to congratulate her. Laura watches as Jessica Chastain is helped away by Kristanna Loken and Katheryn Winnick. Laura waves at Katheryn who scowls back at her.
“I’m going to have to fight Winnick again one of these days,” Laura tells the press, “Jessica was a lot better than I expected, but not good enough to beat me. I want to have another go at Katheryn. I don’t like having any opponent think her beating me would go unanswered.
As for Jessica Chastain: “Sure it was disappointing. I lost and I got to tell you I didn’t like it. Laura had a lot going for her: age, size, experience, but I did manage to knock her down. That’s something that encourages me even though I didn’t get the win. I’ll be back and back winning!”
Result can’t be said to be a surprise. As Jessica Chastain herself pointed out, Laura Vandervoort had a lot of advantages in this and was the undoubted favorite. Still, Jessica put up a very good fight and it should be good news for her Dollhouse managers. Meanwhile, Laura’s many fans are wondering when they’ll see their fav back in action this year. This was only her second fight in 2018 and one can understand why her fans aren’t happy. “No comment” is all Foxfire management would say.
