I didn’t win them all, but I won a lot of them. I have been here this long because I don’t let slumps discourage me. Sure I lost 3 fights this year, but I did beat Elizabeth Henstridge.

THEWINNER KATHERINE MCNAMARA DEFEATS ASHLEY BENSON TKO6!
After: “’RED KAT WINS BY TKO’, now that’s a headline I would love to see,” a very happy Katherine McNamara tells the press in the aftermath of her dramatic win. “She got me down, but I survived and I beat her into a stoppage. Wow! I can’t wait for my next fight! I am rolling now!”
It’s later that Ashley Benson talks briefly with the press: “I know I had that girl, but I let her get away. This kind of loss hurts more than the punches. No, no, I’ll be all right in a few days, but right now I am not happy. ‘Red Kat’s good, but she shouldn’t have been able to beat me. Excuse me, it’s time for me to go.”
Ashley Benson’s distress at the loss is understandable, but Katherine McNamara showed she can take a beating and come back to win. This should greatly encourage her Fates Boxing management as they seek to groom her career. They seem to have built a good foundation, but fans will be watching to see where she goes from here. Meanwhile, Ashley and her PLP management will be regrouping. Ash has been through tough times before and gotten through them. Her stable and her fans hope that will soon be the case once again.
