Katheryn Winnick versus Jaime Pressly

BEFORE:
A second Doll on tonight’s PPV and this promises to be an intriguing fight when two veteran actresses enter the ring. Katheryn Winnick on a roll recently, taking out dangerous opponents like Jenny McCarthy and Margot Robbie, whereas Jaime not so lucky, having not won a fight since 2015.

Winnick starting the press conference off with a few words acknowledging this imbalance between them:

"I'd like to start by thanking Jaime for accepting my challenge. She hasn’t been as active as I have these last two years, and I respect her for wanting to test herself even at 41… we're quite similar in that regard. As for Jaime as an opponent, I'm finally fighting someone my age!” the blonde lets out a laugh. “So that's an improvement! But she still has that scary physique she's been known for, even at 41, and after giving birth… that's just crazy. Anyone with that kind of body is dangerous, and let’s not forget that this woman is a Hall-of-Famer whom I really want to try and take down. I'm confident that I can, but we'll have to wait and see. I've got some surprises for her, that’s for sure,” Winnick ending off with a smile and wink.

Jaime meeting that smile with a grin of her own, looking sensational in her American-striped bikini top and hot denim shorts, flipping her blonde hair back in waves of confidence.

“Winnick’s right about one thing - we may be the same age, but I’m still plenty dangerous. But yeah, finally a woman that gets me. I accepted this challenge only because I feel that I have a fair shake at flooring Katheryn tonight. I know she’s good, but she’s not THAT good. We’ll see who’ll be the one left standing by the end of ten rounds!”

Girls get into each other’s faces at the podium, hands on hips, sizing each other up. Kat Winnick dressed in her traditional black and white sports bra and tights, blonde hair tied up into a ponytail. Both women shaking hands now, but once they get into that ring, they’ll be exchanging mostly fists.

Later, explosions fill the stage as Kat is the first one out to rock music and fireworks. She strides down the ramp with a long white cape flowing out behind her as she waves to the fans on her way to the ring. Jaime not to be outdone, all American country music blasting from the speakers as she struts out from behind the curtains in a black bikini, covered partially by a black satin robe. With a hand raised high in the air, she jogs her way to the ring where she unrobes to reveal her fit, muscular body – the fans cannot ignore the blonde’s impressive physique even at 41 and the Hall of Famer is earning some loud cheers here tonight.

Referee runs through the rules of this engagement in the ring, and it looks like we’re in for an all-out brawl! HERE we go with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!

ROUND 1:
Winnick starting the fight with a wall between herself and opponent, keeping her arms locked in and barely taking any steps forward. It’s worked for her in the past, so there’s little reason to change her defensive favouring. But this gives Jaime plenty of room to engage her at will, slapping jabs into her arms most of the time, but some of the time also managing to sting the face and body. Katherine still busy figuring out this Hall-of-Famer and how she ticks, but she does so at the expense of her own aggression. Second minute sees a wild flurry from both girls landing fast, mutually assured destruction as they both tag the face, but shortly after, Kat goes back to hiding behind her gloves, allowing Jaime to steal this round by her constant harassment of the Doll throughout.

ROUND 2:
Winnick has all the power and tools to make short work of her opponents - she’s done it plenty of times before and shouldn’t be afraid of playing to her strengths, but Jaime might be a different story – with over 60 wins under her belt, this woman knows her job in there. Jaime fired up as well as she comes in hot, throwing plenty punches aimed at Katheryn’s head, hoping to score an upset this early in the fight. But Winnick holding on, absorbing to her arms, before unleashing a right hook straight into the side of Jaime’s face, which sends the blonde sprawling! OUCH. Jaime getting a first-hand taste of her foe’s power as the blow almost cleans her clock and rotates her 180 degrees! Jaime goes sailing into the ropes, now the one forced to cover up her face, in a desperate dash to stay afloat. But HERE COMES WINNICK, sacking the belly with low hooks to the side, pounding on Pressley’s pristine abs like they’re not even supposed to be there! Jaime in all sorts of trouble as she gets folded over repeatedly, her upper guard starting to break as well when Winnick goes up top in between the body blows, takes her arms apart with ANOTHER hook that crashes into the side of the head, sending the poor girl DOWN to the mat!

Good god! It’s a KNOCKDOWN for Katheryn Winnick in the second minute of the second round! The audience is on its feet as Winnick huffs and puffs above the squirming blonde below her feet. Jaime shell-shocked and on her side, one hand clinging onto the bottom rope, her eyes wide and mouth open but no words are coming out. Referee counting above her bit by bit, but it’s no use - Jaime doesn’t make it back up to even to her knees as he hits the 10 count! It’s over before we knew it!

Official Decision: Katheryn Winnick defeats Jaime Pressley via KO2!

AFTER:
Winnick with a DOMINATING performance here as she raises her hand to her fans, smiling widely at this unexpected win this early. It looks like she barely broke a sweat in there, still having the energy to jog around all four corners of the ring, acknowledging everyone who’s supported her over the years. She may appear modest in this victory, but the fans don’t have to be on her behalf, giving her a standing ovation for her excellent performance tonight!

Not only that, Katheryn actually going over to Pressley to see if she’s still alive and kicking. The Doll helps the Hall of Famer up to her feet, before they share a brief embrace with their foreheads pressed together, mutual respect on display for such a lopsided affair.

Later, a beaming Winnick speaks to reporters outside the ring: “I feel amazing. That was a big win for me...obviously. But to be honest? I think I got lucky tonight…I trained hard for this fight and was expecting it to go the distance, but…I’ll definitely take a round 2 KO.” The victorious blonde chuckles. I’ll take them any day!”
