Intro:
Tonight is one of the biggest nights in both Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kendall Jenner's careers, for the seventh time they clash in the ring, with Kendall defending her FCBA lightweight title, Mary wanting to claim that elusive fourth title to further her legacy as the greatest fighter not to be in the Hall of Fame, along with both wanting to prove they are the best in this rivalry once and for all.
Starting all the way back in 2017 in a Santakini bout that was also for the lightweight title, these two have knocked lumps out of each other over the last four years, while they have mostly been friendly rivals, when that bell rings neither has held back, with the result being they are tied at three wins a piece, someone is going to be leaving not just with the title, but also the added humiliation of having to tell the world that the other woman is better then them as agreed by both fighters.
Before the fight took place, the day before both women met up on the press conference stage, Mary headed on wearing a navy blue dress with silver trim and matching heels, Kendall stepping on the opposite side wearing a red dress with matching heels, along with the lightweight title on her right shoulder, the fighters meeting at the center of the stage, eyes tensely locked as cameras flash, fists are raised for the face off as neither really blinks.
Once all that is done they hug each other, a few words being said quietly enough that the cameras don't pick it up, a nod is exchanged when the hug ends, with both women heading behind their designated tables with their pictures hanging up behind them.
Mary is first to be asked to say how she is feeling, she answers with a smile "well I expected a month ago that Taylor Swift would be the one sat in that seat over there, so it was a nice surprise when Kendall rung me up and after we exchanged stories of how things are going, well you can see where we ended up" there's a few chuckles as Mary winks.
She then continues by saying "This wasn't an opportunity I could turn down, fighting Kendall is special in itself as she has become a great rival in the ring, not quite Yvonne (Strahovski) great, still great none the less" grinning as Kendall laughs shaking her head.
"No need to insult me by saying I'm not as good as Yvonne, last I checked she isn't sitting here with this title in front of her" Kendall interjects, tapping the title she has placed on the table in front of her, Mary gives her a rye smile, Kendall knowing Mary is very close with Yvonne, while her own relationship is best put as frosty with the blonde bombshell.
Mary replies "you are right that it's you sitting there, I think I can happily say that the world will prefer seeing you on your knees admitting I am better then you then the other way around" Kendall now the one to smile, though it is looking a little forced as her fists clenched.
Then they relax as she returns fire by saying "the only ones who want that are those that are jealous I am so successful, I am the dominant champion, the face of the FCBA, one of the pound for pound best, most importantly I am going to be the youngest Hall of Famer, unlike a certain somebody who will just have people pitying them for not being smart or good enough to make the Hall of fame" that makes Mary grit her teeth as she stares angrily back, it's bugged her and her fans that even with her legendary career, she won't be able to tell her family she has a spot in the Tractorpull Hall of Fame.
First Mary then Kendall stands up, Mary telling her opponent "I can't wait till tomorrow when I finally show you that for all your bluster, you were never in my league Kendall, you might make the Hall of Fame but you'll always have the knowledge that I beat you more then you beat me" Kendall clenching her fists looking ready to charge Mary as their coaches work to stand between them.
"Oh Mary you are mistaken, like your career will be forgotten about, the fact you beat me three times will be forgotten too, all anybody will remember is the night I made you my bytch!" Kendall fires back, both women make a move to go for each other, luckily for the FCBA committee the coaches along with their mangers stop any fighting for now, it's clear this is simply war for both till one stands over the beaten body of the other, they storm off the stage at separate ends as Kendall grabs the belt off the table, carrying it beside her hip as she furiously talks to her management team about Mary.
Fight night, the crowd is already chanting for both fighters after the scheduled fight is announced over the PA, FCBA management has security on hand for any of the two fighters stablemates coming to try to stop the added stipulation taking place, someone is going on a walk of shame and will be humbled by their rival tonight.
First through the curtain comes Mary with coach Virginia Madsen beside her, Mary is wearing a red sports bra with white trim, matching trunks, red shoes with white laces, white gloves, while her hair is tied into a ponytail with a white ribbon, she looks all business as she jogs down the aisle, getting into the ring she nods to her fans, looking deeply focused that she will become a four time champion tonight.
Here comes Kendall being led out by her coach former champion Alessandra Ambrosio, who is holding the title up for the fans to see, cut woman Eva Carneiro follows behind them as Kendall walks to the ring wearing a white sports bra with black trim, she has a black ace badge on her left bra cup, white trunks with black stripes down each side, matching shoes, black gloves, her hair is in a ponytail too, she climbs through the ropes into the ring locking eyes with Mary, tapping her cheeks to psyche herself up.
The referee gets the belt off of Alessandra, showing the crowd the belt before bringing the fighters to the middle of the ring, there's a tense state down as clearly neither will give an inch tonight, told to touch their gloves, they more swipe then give a solid touch up, returning to their corners, ready to start 10 rounds of FCBA lightweight title action.
Round 1:
"Ding!" Out they step ready to fight, trading jabs as both respect the others talents, trying to find gaps in the others defenses, the duelling chants ringing out already as the tempo starts to pick up now with Mary edging in closer to work.
Crouching under a straight from the champion, Mary drills in a left/right straight into the body of Kendall, a left cross catches her to the side of the head, Mary doesn't move too far back as she looks to stay in close range, knocking back Kendall with a short uppercut.
Controlling the middle of the ring now, Mary is the one making the breakthrough with her punches landing more crisply of the fighters, Kendall on the back foot not looking so comfortable, being bashed around her guard when the challenger opens up her elbows with short hooks.
Pushing back Mary to open up more space, Kendall catches her challenger with a double jab to the top of her head, then sidesteps her to counter with a right under the left eye of Winstead, Kendall finishing the last minute of the round on the front foot now, landing some nice combos to snap back the head of Mary.
Who has to be happy of her opening round performance when the bell dings, Mary setting her stall out why she will be the champion by the end of the fight, Kendall being told to open up more, use her long legs to control the distance better, Jenner nodding as she stares hard across the ring at her opponent.
Round 2:
Now warmed up they both are throwing more punches in volume, Mary coming out strong with several good short hooks testing the body of the model, Kendall seems to be predominantly focused on the head of Mary as she responds with several one-two combos when she sees a gap in Winstead's defences.
A short left cross catches Mary trying to close the distance, with Kendall landing a straight to snap back the challengers head, Mary needing to cover up more tightly as Kendall begins to let her fists go more, sneaking in some shots to the chest of Mary to push her back onto her heels.
Mary manages to dip under a right cross to hammer in two short left hooks to the body, just missing with an overhand right as Kendall gets her glove up in time, a straight pops Mary on her nose to slow her charge down, coaches furiously yelling instructions as they watch the action starting to go a little more back and forth.
A double jab catches Mary out, with a short right hook turning her head, Mary finding herself being driven to the ropes with about thirty seconds to go in the round, Kendall using her left to keep that guard up, the right slamming into Mary's stomach till the round comes to a close.
A strong counter argument there from Kendall why she is going to keep the title, Mary now the one getting some advice from Virginia, Mary listening intently as Kendall is getting a drink, Alessandra praising the improvement of Kendall after that slow start to the fight.
Round 3:
Both are planting their feet more when they sling in jabs, Kendall trying to use her slight reach advantage to dictate the tempo, Mary though showing her experience to time some beautiful attacks, like when she deflects a straight to bang in one of her own to the chest of Kendall, a short left hook follows to turn the Girls Friday fighters head to the side.
Kendall soon finds herself powered to the ropes, Mary with her head down working the flanks of the champion, getting pulled into a front headlock, which earns Jenner a warning when they are broken up by the referee, Mary grinning as she knows she is getting to her opponent.
That grin disappears when Kendall buries a left/right combo square into the face of Mary, back now goes the challenger as Kendall lands a follow up three punch combo, switching her targets nicely as the stunning model reminds her for why these past several months she has been on top of the mountain.
The exchanges are getting more heated between them, Mary waving Kendall to bring it on, Kendall nodding in reply as they slug it out at midrange, Kendall letting her emotions get the better of her as Mary baits her in, a missed right as Mary slips it leads to a counter right into the abs, followed by an overhand left into the jaw of Jenner.
Who soon finds herself being driven onto the ropes by the challenger, Mary mixing up her punches to stop Kendall protecting herself as easily, an uppercut knocks back the head of Kendall just before the bell rings, Mary getting the lions shares of chants as she returns to her corner, crowd love her and how she is taking the fight firmly to Kendall.
Round 4:
After being told off by her coach, Kendall isn't standing her ground as much, more exchanging with Mary before using that famous leggy footwork she has to get out the way of a hook then counter with punches onto the cheeks of Mary.
The challenger does sneak inside with a feint causing Kendall to move back too early, a right hook instead lands on her ribs, with an overhand left turning her head as again back goes Kendall onto the ropes, Mary loving working the body of Kendall till she is nudged off her foe by Kendall's right forearm.
Half the round gone with more back and forth action, Kendall looking cool and collected when she has room to work, Mary finding ways of closing the distance to force the inside fighting, where she looks more comfortable as she has more of a buckshot behind her punches to Kendall's sniper like shots.
As they have less then a minute to go, Kendall lands a stiff jab into the lips of Mary, then moves back out the way of a straight to bury a left across her face, suddenly now Winstead finds herself being driven onto her heels after an uppercut sets her up for another clean one-two combo into her stunning face.
When the bell rings with Kendall on top, Mary nods as she returns to her corner, knowing she had chances there to really grab control of the round, instead it's Kendall tying the scores up again in most peoples eyes, crowd excited to see what more is to come from these fierce rivals.
Round 5:
The tempo seems to be increasing as Mary is wanting to get in closer more, Kendall is responding by throwing more combinations, several punches from both knocks the other back several steps before they are beaten back, the "Let's go Kendall! Let's go Mary!" Chants are getting louder as the arena is electric.
Landing two hard body shots to Kendall to make her groan out, Mary has her left a little too low when a right hook slams into her eye, that backs off Mary as she blinks to try to clear it, lucky for her it doesn't seem to be swelling, problem is she has Kendall followed up with a jab/straight combo into her face to knock her backwards.
Dictating the action more from the middle of the ring, Kendall is throwing more flurries, forcing Winstead to cover up more tightly, Mary needing to clinch up when she takes a left/right cross combo around her guard, that has Alessandra yelling "you are hurting her!" Applauding her fighters work.
They resume soon enough with Mary showing Kendall she isn't going away so easily, ducking under a jab to hammer in two short right hooks to the ribs, then a short left across the boobs of Kendall, that surprises the champion as she yelps out, Mary not giving her much time to think about it, knocking back Jenner into a neutral corner in the dying seconds of the round.
As the bell rings it's another good round for Kendall, Mary still showing she is dangerous as she returns to her corner happy to hear her left eye is OK, Kendall on the other hand being told to ignore the sneaky shot, she looks to be seething as she taps her toes on the canvas.
Round 6:
Boxing around the middle of the ring, Mary maybe realising she needs to change the script a little, starting to use feints to throw off Kendall's timing, a left cross smacks the champion across her jaw after Mary dodges out the way of a right cross.
Back goes Kendall onto her heels as Mary works away, an few short cross punches send sweat off the brow of Kendall, with a short right busting her bottom lip, Mary getting lots of praise from her coach as Kendall now is shelling up to protect herself as best she can from this charge.
A few straight punches into the tummy makes Kendall fire back, with a left cross catching Mary as again she lowers her guard while focusing on beating Kendall up, a left hook follows to now knock sweat flying from Winstead, who back tracks away from the ropes.
Back to the center of the ring they go, fists flying as one fighter gets on top, then one little mistake leaves them open to a counter attack, when they fall into clinches both are starting to use dirty boxing tactics, Kendall rabbit punching to the back of Mary's head, Mary responds with kidney shots, earning them warnings from the referee.
Going into the home stretch of the round, Mary catches Kendall with an overhand right to the chin, back goes Kendall onto the ropes as Mary bullies her to them, the bell rings with both fighters taking a deep breath as they walk to their corners, putting it all on the line to get the win.
Round 7:
When they work away at the start of the round, Kendall moves back out the way of left cross, landing a right onto the chin of Mary to turn her head, a left hook around the eye causes Mary to cry out as she backs off.
On comes Kendall as she has Mary backpedaling to the ropes, a left cross sends sweat off the head of the challenger, who needs to hold onto Kendall to stop the assault, the Kendall fans in full voice as they watch her press Mary's back over the top rope with her right forearm under her chin, Kendall warned again by the referee that next time she will lose a point.
As they resume Mary is starting to get some rhythm going again, till she eats another flush right to the chin, wobbling back the Foxfire fighter as Kendall is showing her she can hurt her, Mary needing to hold onto Kendall again, forcing them to be broken up again.
Herded around the ring as she shells up, Winstead can't get out from behind her gloves, though she is at least protecting herself better, taking most of the punches on her gloves or forearms, when the bell rings it has been a torrid round for Mary, who sits on her stool shaking her head, Virginia telling her "it's gutcheck time now" Mary thudding her gloves together to show she still wants to fight.
Round 8:
Kendall comes out looking to hurt Mary again early, this time the tables turn after Mary boxes off the back foot blocking several blows, she crouches under a straight to come up with an uppercut that wobbles back the champion to her heels.
Nearly shoving Kendall through the top and middle rope as she tackles her into the ropes, Mary makes up for the last round by beating Kendall with a flurry of punches, Kendall now the one needing to hold on for dear life, being clearly buzzed by the uppercut.
When they resume fighting the Winstead fans believe again judging by the loud chants, Kendall being pressed around the outside part of the ring, landing a few jabs before being caught with an overhand right to the chin, a left hook busts her bottom lip as both now have blood trickling to their chin, Mary is starting to maul Kendall in corners and on the ropes.
Less then thirty seconds to go Kendall is holding onto Mary, long toned legs get tangled up and they both tumble to their sides on the canvas, some shoving as they try to get up, blaming the other for the fall as the referee has to break them up and help them up, at the bell Kendall has suffered a shutout there in most peoples eyes, Alessandra now needing to give a rallying speech, both fighters coated in sweat, breathing harder as they are in the deep waters now.
Round 9:
Roles reversed as Mary now looks for the stoppage, Kendall seems to have gotten her head sorted though, leading to some more heated exchanges, Kendall taking a right across her bottom lip to start her blood dripping again, Mary getting clocked with a right hook under the left eye, opening a small cut there.
Doubling up her jab to the cut, Kendall is making Mary cry out as she backs off, a short right turns Mary's head as blood and sweat flies off, A LEFT HOOK LANDS TO THE CHIN OF MARY TO SEND HER TUMBLING DOWN TO HER BACK!
A loud roar rings out as Kendall raises her right fist into the air on her way to the neutral corner, 1...2....3... Mary turns to all fours slowly, blood trickling to the canvas from her cut, 4....5....6.. Pushing to her haunches, Mary blinks to clear her head, 7....8... Pushing to her feet, Mary raises her fists as she nods that she wants to fight on, ringside doctor checks her cut and gives her the OK.
Still half the round to go, Kendall driving forwards, Mary shows she is still in this by ducking under a jab to hammer in two short right hooks under the ribs of the model, Kendall catches Mary with a short left to the side of her head.
Mary clinching up as they head into the final moments of the round, referee needing to break them up as both grapple, nearly tripping again, at the bell Kendall has made a big statement, returning to their corners with both having their hands on their hips, they both get cleaned up with Mary needing extra attention for her cut.
Round 10:
Before the bell both women are waved to the middle of the ring, there's a tense touch of gloves with both nodding to each other, showing respect to their opponent, then walking back to their corners as the crowd roars for both fighters.
"Ding!" Off they go with Kendall doubling up her jab, aiming for the cut early on, Kendall maybe getting too one dimensional though as Mary slips under one to hammer in two hooks, taking two short cross punches to her head, forcing Mary back to the outside.
Slinging in straight punches as they look for one big punch, Kendall landing a one-two to knock back Mary towards the ropes, when she closes in Mary uses her left forearm to nudge Kendall off balance, AN OVERHAND RIGHT SMACKS KENDALL ONTO HER CHIN, SENDING KENDALL TUMBLING ONTO HER BACK!
Mary's fans roaring as she heads to the neutral corner, eyes shut hoping this is her chance to get her title back, 1...2...3.. Kendall groans as she blinks on her back, 4...5...6.. Slowly sitting up rubbing her jaw, 7...8.. She pushes herself to a knee, 9.. Then beats the count, fists up though she looks shaky, maybe getting the champions benefit as she is allowed to fight on.
Both women clash at the center of the ring, with Kendall not landing as cleanly, Mary dips under a straight and lands an overhand left that sends sweat flying as Kendall is rocked backwards, driven into a neutral corner, Kendall is being hammered, her guard is shot to pieces! REFEREE HAS SEEN ENOUGH! WITH THIRTY SECONDS TO GO THE FIGHT IS STOPPED! KENDALL JUDGED TO NOT BE DEFENDING HERSELF!
Winner and new FCBA lightweight champion! Mary Elizabeth Winstead TKO Round 10
After:
For the fourth time in her career Mary Elizabeth Winstead has climbed to the mountain top, she fights back tears as she looks at the referee to make sure she wasn't seeing things, Virginia rushes into the ring to embrace her from behind, yelling "you did it! You f**king did it!" Both so emotional.
Kendall meanwhile leans against the turnbuckles with a hollow look, eyes staring at the canvas as blood drips from her nose after the beating she took, Alessandra makes sure to console her fighter, holding her close as she strokes her hair, not caring about getting blood on her top, only wanting the best for her friend.
Both women are helped to their corners, getting cleaned up as the two camps couldn't be more opposites right now in demeanor, Mary buzzing as she chats to Virginia, wanting the belt around her waist already, Kendall silent as she gets her nose patched up, wondering what could have been tonight.
Soon enough Mary heads to the middle of the ring, getting the title belt wrapped around her toned waist, instead of getting her hand raised though Mary has a debt to collect, Alessandra not looking pleased when Mary comes to their corner, Kendall for the first time since the end of the fight speaks, saying "a deal is a deal" getting helped up off her stool by Winstead.
On the lap of shame they go with Mary wrapping her right arm around Kendall's waist like she is a trophy wife on show, the crowd chant Mary's name as the two fighters talk a little, Mary admitting "you nearly had me a few times there Kendall, you are hard to keep down" with Kendall smiling a little, replying "hard to keep down yourself Mary" both looking at each other with small grins, showing a little of the friendship they had before the bell rung to start the fight.
When the lap comes to an end the microphone is placed in Mary's hand, she tells Kendall to get on her knees, the defeated fighter glumly nods as this is the last thing she wanted to do tonight, microphone placed in front of her, Kendall grits her teeth before telling the world on pay per view "Mary Elizabeth Winstead is superior to me in every way, a better boxer... A better woman" Kendall dips her head down as that certainly hurt her pride.
Helping Kendall up, Mary gives her a quick spank with her right hand on her bum, telling Kendall "you'll be a champion again someday kid, just haven't got my talent" grinning as she sees that has fired up Kendall, maybe there is more to this story then just the best of seven.
Heading out the ring with help from Alessandra, Kendall will need to dust herself off, come back refreshed after a long hard run of fights, she has scratched and done everything to keep the title, maybe Kendall's next milestone is going for the Hall of Fame, though that is at least a full year away.
In the ring Mary stands in the center with her arms flexed for the cameras, suddenly gold confetti drops over her as she laughs, dancing in the confetti like a kid on the first fall of snow, her friends applauding and chanting that they love her, Mary truly is one of the greatest not to be in the Hall of Fame, never count out the legend to go on a long run with her latest title run.

Half the round gone with more back and forth action, Kendall looking cool and collected when she has room to work, Mary finding ways of closing the distance to force the inside fighting, where she looks more comfortable as she has more of a buckshot behind her punches to Kendall's sniper like shots.
As they have less then a minute to go, Kendall lands a stiff jab into the lips of Mary, then moves back out the way of a straight to bury a left across her face, suddenly now Winstead finds herself being driven onto her heels after an uppercut sets her up for another clean one-two combo into her stunning face.
When the bell rings with Kendall on top, Mary nods as she returns to her corner, knowing she had chances there to really grab control of the round, instead it's Kendall tying the scores up again in most peoples eyes, crowd excited to see what more is to come from these fierce rivals.
Round 5:
The tempo seems to be increasing as Mary is wanting to get in closer more, Kendall is responding by throwing more combinations, several punches from both knocks the other back several steps before they are beaten back, the "Let's go Kendall! Let's go Mary!" Chants are getting louder as the arena is electric.
Landing two hard body shots to Kendall to make her groan out, Mary has her left a little too low when a right hook slams into her eye, that backs off Mary as she blinks to try to clear it, lucky for her it doesn't seem to be swelling, problem is she has Kendall followed up with a jab/straight combo into her face to knock her backwards.
Dictating the action more from the middle of the ring, Kendall is throwing more flurries, forcing Winstead to cover up more tightly, Mary needing to clinch up when she takes a left/right cross combo around her guard, that has Alessandra yelling "you are hurting her!" Applauding her fighters work.
They resume soon enough with Mary showing Kendall she isn't going away so easily, ducking under a jab to hammer in two short right hooks to the ribs, then a short left across the boobs of Kendall, that surprises the champion as she yelps out, Mary not giving her much time to think about it, knocking back Jenner into a neutral corner in the dying seconds of the round.
As the bell rings it's another good round for Kendall, Mary still showing she is dangerous as she returns to her corner happy to hear her left eye is OK, Kendall on the other hand being told to ignore the sneaky shot, she looks to be seething as she taps her toes on the canvas.
Round 6:
Boxing around the middle of the ring, Mary maybe realising she needs to change the script a little, starting to use feints to throw off Kendall's timing, a left cross smacks the champion across her jaw after Mary dodges out the way of a right cross.
Back goes Kendall onto her heels as Mary works away, an few short cross punches send sweat off the brow of Kendall, with a short right busting her bottom lip, Mary getting lots of praise from her coach as Kendall now is shelling up to protect herself as best she can from this charge.
A few straight punches into the tummy makes Kendall fire back, with a left cross catching Mary as again she lowers her guard while focusing on beating Kendall up, a left hook follows to now knock sweat flying from Winstead, who back tracks away from the ropes.
Back to the center of the ring they go, fists flying as one fighter gets on top, then one little mistake leaves them open to a counter attack, when they fall into clinches both are starting to use dirty boxing tactics, Kendall rabbit punching to the back of Mary's head, Mary responds with kidney shots, earning them warnings from the referee.
Going into the home stretch of the round, Mary catches Kendall with an overhand right to the chin, back goes Kendall onto the ropes as Mary bullies her to them, the bell rings with both fighters taking a deep breath as they walk to their corners, putting it all on the line to get the win.
Round 7:
When they work away at the start of the round, Kendall moves back out the way of left cross, landing a right onto the chin of Mary to turn her head, a left hook around the eye causes Mary to cry out as she backs off.
On comes Kendall as she has Mary backpedaling to the ropes, a left cross sends sweat off the head of the challenger, who needs to hold onto Kendall to stop the assault, the Kendall fans in full voice as they watch her press Mary's back over the top rope with her right forearm under her chin, Kendall warned again by the referee that next time she will lose a point.
As they resume Mary is starting to get some rhythm going again, till she eats another flush right to the chin, wobbling back the Foxfire fighter as Kendall is showing her she can hurt her, Mary needing to hold onto Kendall again, forcing them to be broken up again.
Herded around the ring as she shells up, Winstead can't get out from behind her gloves, though she is at least protecting herself better, taking most of the punches on her gloves or forearms, when the bell rings it has been a torrid round for Mary, who sits on her stool shaking her head, Virginia telling her "it's gutcheck time now" Mary thudding her gloves together to show she still wants to fight.
Round 8:
Kendall comes out looking to hurt Mary again early, this time the tables turn after Mary boxes off the back foot blocking several blows, she crouches under a straight to come up with an uppercut that wobbles back the champion to her heels.
Nearly shoving Kendall through the top and middle rope as she tackles her into the ropes, Mary makes up for the last round by beating Kendall with a flurry of punches, Kendall now the one needing to hold on for dear life, being clearly buzzed by the uppercut.
When they resume fighting the Winstead fans believe again judging by the loud chants, Kendall being pressed around the outside part of the ring, landing a few jabs before being caught with an overhand right to the chin, a left hook busts her bottom lip as both now have blood trickling to their chin, Mary is starting to maul Kendall in corners and on the ropes.
Less then thirty seconds to go Kendall is holding onto Mary, long toned legs get tangled up and they both tumble to their sides on the canvas, some shoving as they try to get up, blaming the other for the fall as the referee has to break them up and help them up, at the bell Kendall has suffered a shutout there in most peoples eyes, Alessandra now needing to give a rallying speech, both fighters coated in sweat, breathing harder as they are in the deep waters now.
Round 9:
Roles reversed as Mary now looks for the stoppage, Kendall seems to have gotten her head sorted though, leading to some more heated exchanges, Kendall taking a right across her bottom lip to start her blood dripping again, Mary getting clocked with a right hook under the left eye, opening a small cut there.
Doubling up her jab to the cut, Kendall is making Mary cry out as she backs off, a short right turns Mary's head as blood and sweat flies off, A LEFT HOOK LANDS TO THE CHIN OF MARY TO SEND HER TUMBLING DOWN TO HER BACK!
A loud roar rings out as Kendall raises her right fist into the air on her way to the neutral corner, 1...2....3... Mary turns to all fours slowly, blood trickling to the canvas from her cut, 4....5....6.. Pushing to her haunches, Mary blinks to clear her head, 7....8... Pushing to her feet, Mary raises her fists as she nods that she wants to fight on, ringside doctor checks her cut and gives her the OK.
Still half the round to go, Kendall driving forwards, Mary shows she is still in this by ducking under a jab to hammer in two short right hooks under the ribs of the model, Kendall catches Mary with a short left to the side of her head.
Mary clinching up as they head into the final moments of the round, referee needing to break them up as both grapple, nearly tripping again, at the bell Kendall has made a big statement, returning to their corners with both having their hands on their hips, they both get cleaned up with Mary needing extra attention for her cut.
Round 10:
Before the bell both women are waved to the middle of the ring, there's a tense touch of gloves with both nodding to each other, showing respect to their opponent, then walking back to their corners as the crowd roars for both fighters.
"Ding!" Off they go with Kendall doubling up her jab, aiming for the cut early on, Kendall maybe getting too one dimensional though as Mary slips under one to hammer in two hooks, taking two short cross punches to her head, forcing Mary back to the outside.
Slinging in straight punches as they look for one big punch, Kendall landing a one-two to knock back Mary towards the ropes, when she closes in Mary uses her left forearm to nudge Kendall off balance, AN OVERHAND RIGHT SMACKS KENDALL ONTO HER CHIN, SENDING KENDALL TUMBLING ONTO HER BACK!

Slowly sitting up rubbing her jaw, 7...8.. She pushes herself to a knee, 9.. Then beats the count, fists up though she looks shaky, maybe getting the champions benefit as she is allowed to fight on.

REFEREE HAS SEEN ENOUGH! WITH THIRTY SECONDS TO GO THE FIGHT IS STOPPED! KENDALL JUDGED TO NOT BE DEFENDING HERSELF!
Winner and new FCBA lightweight champion! Mary Elizabeth Winstead TKO Round 10
After:
For the fourth time in her career Mary Elizabeth Winstead has climbed to the mountain top, she fights back tears as she looks at the referee to make sure she wasn't seeing things, Virginia rushes into the ring to embrace her from behind, yelling "you did it! You f**king did it!" Both so emotional.
Kendall meanwhile leans against the turnbuckles with a hollow look, eyes staring at the canvas as blood drips from her nose after the beating she took, Alessandra makes sure to console her fighter, holding her close as she strokes her hair, not caring about getting blood on her top, only wanting the best for her friend.
Both women are helped to their corners, getting cleaned up as the two camps couldn't be more opposites right now in demeanor, Mary buzzing as she chats to Virginia, wanting the belt around her waist already, Kendall silent as she gets her nose patched up, wondering what could have been tonight.
Soon enough Mary heads to the middle of the ring, getting the title belt wrapped around her toned waist, instead of getting her hand raised though Mary has a debt to collect, Alessandra not looking pleased when Mary comes to their corner, Kendall for the first time since the end of the fight speaks, saying "a deal is a deal" getting helped up off her stool by Winstead.
On the lap of shame they go with Mary wrapping her right arm around Kendall's waist like she is a trophy wife on show, the crowd chant Mary's name as the two fighters talk a little, Mary admitting "you nearly had me a few times there Kendall, you are hard to keep down" with Kendall smiling a little, replying "hard to keep down yourself Mary" both looking at each other with small grins, showing a little of the friendship they had before the bell rung to start the fight.
When the lap comes to an end the microphone is placed in Mary's hand, she tells Kendall to get on her knees, the defeated fighter glumly nods as this is the last thing she wanted to do tonight, microphone placed in front of her, Kendall grits her teeth before telling the world on pay per view "Mary Elizabeth Winstead is superior to me in every way, a better boxer... A better woman" Kendall dips her head down as that certainly hurt her pride.
Helping Kendall up, Mary gives her a quick spank with her right hand on her bum, telling Kendall "you'll be a champion again someday kid, just haven't got my talent" grinning as she sees that has fired up Kendall, maybe there is more to this story then just the best of seven.
Heading out the ring with help from Alessandra, Kendall will need to dust herself off, come back refreshed after a long hard run of fights, she has scratched and done everything to keep the title, maybe Kendall's next milestone is going for the Hall of Fame, though that is at least a full year away.
In the ring Mary stands in the center with her arms flexed for the cameras, suddenly gold confetti drops over her as she laughs, dancing in the confetti like a kid on the first fall of snow, her friends applauding and chanting that they love her, Mary truly is one of the greatest not to be in the Hall of Fame, never count out the legend to go on a long run with her latest title run.
