Emily Didonato
vs Kelsey Merritt
results by Lookout/Words by OddManOut
Before: It’s pretty common for O&E to schedule a rising rookie against a top-tier fighter at the start of their sophomore year. And it has been successful, sometimes spectacularly so: Claire Holt running the table in a big-girl bantam round-robin, Olivia Holt flattening Kristin Kreuk both stand out, certainly well enough to keep at it. This year Emily; usually to be found battering the Tiffany elite, has practically inked in a best of 7 with Courtney Tailor, specifically challenged Kelsey: “I’m looking to complete the set! I’ve beaten all the O&E lights, and there’s no reason to stop now!”
Kelsey playing the “act like you’ve been here before” card well: “She fought twice as many fights as I did last year, but she lost three times as many fights as I did. I’m ready for this, I can take her!”
Ringposts in sand setup. Emily entering painted a green, gold and purple bikini, hair loose and swept over the left shoulder, white gloves. Kesley with a turquoise and yellow “crochet” pattern bikini, hair long and loose, black gloves. Both fighters barefoot on the sand.
R1: Emily taking the fight to Kelsey’s corner, quickly gets herself wrapped and spun, then worked over bell to bell by a very efficient, hard punching rookie this round. Body and head, Merritt banging that belly then doubling up the left hand to pop up Dido’s head--it’s a punishing way to start a 10 round fight. Emily bloodied in the nose, worked over in the midsection, gets sent to her room without dinner as Kelseey can’t disguise the smirk.
R2: Emily back out hard, shaking off the damage and she nails Kelsey with 2 right hands in quick succession to put Filipina butt on the turnbuckle. Didonato digging to the breadbasket with churning shoulder action, then coming up to wallop those tits and MERRITT’S HURT! Kelsey breaking down, looking to clinch, Emily just brawling he back into the corner, ladling on the hurt, legs set strong, working in bursts. Late in the round, girls trade right hands to the body, left hands on the chin an Merritt nearly goes down--eyes wide and stupid as Dido snarls, almost pulls the trigger late.
R3: Kelsey dips under Emily’s right hand, comes back with a rolling hook o the chops, Dido's turn to funky foot backwards. Merritt hard-eyed as she steps close, jams a downward chopping right onto Emily's mouth, dig-digs her belly a hook and nails her a hard right cross as she falters straight back, hands down. Didonato dazed on the ropes, right hand up, left low--she closes up her stance as Merritt climbs onboard. Classic Jenny O'Dell-type scrubbing—Kelsey’s scalp rubbing hard against Emily’s face and upper chest, palms and shoulders shoving, chugging, clubbing assault--short and thick up the middle, or bashing flat 'round the sides, Constant pounding assault leaves Didonato slack-jawed, throbbing as Merritt goes bell to bell--struts back to her corner beaming.
R4: Kelsey with the bounce--jabbing Emily to chest, stepping perky to the right, leaning in with her peek-a-boo guard to draw right hands, slipping them, answering with crisp hooks. Didonato a little shopworn--she's swinging hard but having trouble labelling the unusually elusive Merritt. Down the stretch, Kelsey walking in, swinging away left/right to the gut when Emily finally catches her a juicy clock on the chin. Merritt wobbly butt, staggering back on her heels --she's suddenly destitute as Dido regroups, comes for her hungry. Emily wading in hands at her chest and waist level--she's just stepping and lashing, swivelling Kelsey's head side to side as she totters backwards in stupor. Didonato steals a Merritt round with late power.
R5: They punch, they slide into one another’s arms, they take turns walking each other back for breaks—fight slowing down as brutal back-and-forth takes its toll. Single haymakers are shaking both women to the body, Emily with low-slung right up into the tummy, Kelsey with a prepping jab to chest and a step in hook to the ribs. Agonizing stuff—shimmering slick bodies embracing, then parting, each looking to find the off switch on the other. Second minute, girls get to hooking and KELSEY REELS BACK! Merritt gets the worst of a torrid trade in lefts, Didonato hopping forward with an overhand right that just brushes lips as bundle hits the ropes. Kelsey slouching, lifting her mitts to her face, just riding it out AND EMILY UNLEASHES! Dido pinning her ears back, gambling on a finishing burst and she’s LIGHTING MERRITT UP! Gorgeous, soul-sucking rights and lefts up underneath, getting ribs under her elbows, sitting Kesley hurt in the ropes. Body work loosens Merritt up—Didonato standing up in her stirrups, lugging punches up into overhanging shelf of jug, then stepping back to clout that face. Rich, stroking lefts and rights, Kelsey just star-struck, leaning back against the ropes, hands at her chest, head being swiveled to and fro and MERRITT MELTS TO THE SAND! It’s another slam-bang slugfest as we’ve reached the middle of this card with a KO 5 for Emily Didonato!
After: O&E’s self-appointed nemesis plants her foot on Kelsey’s painted chest raising her gloves over her head. Emily rubbing and grinding her foot on Merritt’s breast, rubbing a bare-patch before planting her foot on the bottom rope. She’s giving the crowd the chance to snap photos of her foot with Kelesy’s paint on the bottom of her foot!
