       [font=arial]Joe Rogan:  Well we have just a couple more bouts
       before the main event. These bouts have been incredible with the
       fighters showing incredible heart.  We hope that this next bout
       will answer the call and be an even better bout.  The
       blindfolded girls are in the ring and the referee has them in
       the center of the ring giving some last minute rules and
       regulations before turning them loose for battle.[/font]

       and [/font][font=arial]No Good Nick[/font][font=arial], Lauren
       is a rising star with youthful energy. A dancer and yoga
       enthusiast, she brings flexibility, balance, and a surprising
       tenacity for someone her age.[/font][/li]
       [li][font=arial]Style:[/font][font=arial] Speed-driven. Lauren
       will rely on evasive movement and high volume combinations to
       outwork opponents. While lacking raw power, her endurance and
       unpredictability are assets.[/font][/li]
       [/list] [font=arial]Pre-Fight Odds & Analysis[/font]
       [list]
       [li][font=arial]Odds:[/font][font=arial] Kathryn Newton (-150)
       vs. Lauren Donzis (+125)[/font][/li]
       [li][font=arial]Analysis:[/font][font=arial] Kathryn’s
       experience, strength advantage, and maturity give her the edge.
       However, Lauren’s youthful energy, speed, and light-footed style
       could frustrate Kathryn and turn the tide if she can avoid big
       shots and stick to her game plan.[/font][/li]
       [/list] [font=arial]Strategic Considerations[/font]
       [list]
       [li][font=arial]Kathryn’s Approach:[/font][font=arial] She
       should use her size and strength to pressure Lauren, cut off the
       ring, and go to the body early. Targeting the midsection will
       drain Lauren’s stamina and open up headshots in later
       rounds.[/font][/li]
       [li][font=arial]Lauren’s Approach:[/font][font=arial] Movement
       and pace are key. Lauren must stay outside Kathryn’s power
       range, use angles, and pepper her with combinations. Frustrating
       Kathryn with speed and flurries could tilt the
       scorecards.[/font][/li]
       [/list] [font=arial]Round 1[/font]
       [font=arial]The bell sounds for the first round and Kathryn
       Newton storms out of her corner like she’s on a mission. She’s
       clearly bigger, stronger, and knows it. From the opening
       seconds, she muscles Lauren Donzis into the ropes, ripping her
       with left hooks to the ribs, then pivoting into looping rights
       to the midsection. Lauren tries to circle, but Kathryn cuts her
       off with a stiff jab that snaps her head back.  Kathryn seems to
       be firmly in control.  [/font]
       [font=arial]Midway through the round, Kathryn drives a hard
       right into Lauren’s belly, doubling her over. The crowd roars as
       Kathryn slams a left uppercut into Lauren’s breasts, sending the
       smaller girl stumbling back into the ropes. Kathryn pours it on,
       slamming punches into Lauren’s body and chest, clearly trying to
       break her down early.[/font]
       [font=arial]Lauren clinches to survive the final seconds.
       Dominant start for Kathryn.[/font]
       [font=arial]Score: 10-9 Kathryn[/font]
       [font=arial]Round 2[/font]
       [font=arial]Round 2 begins and the action continues.  Lauren
       comes out trying to jab and move, but Kathryn walks through it.
       She’s aggressive, bullying Lauren around the ring, pinning her
       in corners and hammering her ribs and sternum with merciless
       body work. A savage right hook digs into Lauren’s liver, and she
       cries out before backing up into the ropes again.[/font]
       [font=arial]Kathryn targets the chest—Lauren tries her best to
       cover up but a left hook to the right breast, right straight
       down the middle into the solar plexus. Lauren gasps and holds,
       and the ref separates them.  Lauren is in real trouble here.
       [/font]
       
       [font=arial]Late in the round, Kathryn lands a vicious right
       hand that sends Lauren reeling into the turnbuckles. Kathryn
       stays composed, methodical, like a predator picking her prey
       apart.  [/font]
       [font=arial]Score: 10-9 Match Score: 20-18 Kathryn[/font]
       [font=arial]Round 3[/font]
       [font=arial]The next round begins with the bell.  Both are on
       their feet and Lauren shows heart and fires back, landing a
       sneaky counter hook that snaps Kathryn’s head around—but
       Kathryn’s smile is menacing. She walks through it and batters
       Lauren with a brutal combo: left to the ribs, right to the
       stomach, left hook to the breast, uppercut under the
       chin.[/font]
       [font=arial]Lauren folds over and Kathryn uppercuts again into
       her chest. The smaller fighter is clearly hurting but refuses to
       fall.  Lauren falls into the ropes and the two exchange a few
       punches and Lauren lands a very stiff jab but Kathryn continues
       to move forward with her own jabs and landing a couple of razor
       sharp hooks to the body.  [/font]
       [font=arial]Kathryn taunts, “Thought you had this, huh?” before
       jamming a glove into Lauren’s belly button and twisting her hips
       on a looping left hook to the liver. Lauren sinks into a crouch,
       arms crossed low, breathing hard.  The referee begins a 8 count
       but Lauren is saved by the bell. [/font]
       [font=arial]Another dominant round.[/font]

       [font=arial]Round 4[/font]
       [font=arial]The bell sounds for round 4.  Kathryn looks to be
       slowing slightly but still vicious. She traps Lauren again and
       digs with both fists, pounding her ribs and breasts in a brutal
       flurry. Lauren’s body is red and swelling; every punch lands
       with a heavy smack that echoes. Lauren fights back gamely trying
       to gain some momentum.  The two trade punches and Lauren seems
       to be making good contact with her punches while Kathryn
       suddenly seems to be the one in slight trouble.[/font]
       [font=arial]Near the end of the round, Lauren slips a right and
       lands a counter left hook to the jaw! It staggers Kathryn! A
       buzz runs through the crowd as Lauren throws a three-punch
       combo—left to the cheek, right to the ribs, and a nasty left
       uppercut into Kathryn’s chest. Kathryn shoves her away but now
       looks slightly winded.  The bell saves Kathryn from a lot of
       punishment[/font]
       [font=arial]Lauren’s first sign of life.[/font]
       [font=arial]Score: 10-9 for Lauren Match Score: 39-37
       Kathry[/font]
       [font=arial]Round 5[/font]
       [font=arial]When the bell sounds for the next round Lauren looks
       revived but now its time to test her heart.  Kathryn resets and
       opens up again, furious from that last shot delivered by Lauren.
       She drops her head and hammers Lauren’s belly with short,
       chopping rights, throwing with mean intentions. Lauren backs up
       but fights back from the pocket landing some quick body punches.
       This is a toe-to-toe round now.[/font]
       [font=arial]Kathryn lifts Lauren off her feet with a right to
       the pit of the stomach, then follows it up with a left hook that
       bounces off Lauren’s bra. Lauren clutches and gasps but throws a
       gutsy counter that catches Kathryn square in the nose!  The
       crowd acknowledges the effort by both girls as both are scoring
       with some effective punches.  The battle continues with both
       slowing a bit but the effort is still to win the match by both
       girls until the bell sounds to end the round.[/font]
       [font=arial]Both women are marked up now—Kathryn’s nose is
       bloody, Lauren’s torso looks battered and bruised.[/font]

       Kathryn[/font]
       [font=arial]Round 6[/font]
       [font=arial]The round begins and Lauren opens fast and lands a
       low blow—borderline beltline—but the ref lets it slide. Kathryn
       snarls and charges in, throwing wild punches, but Lauren is
       slipping more, countering with smart uppercuts to the belly and
       looping hooks to the chest. Kathryn staggers back but quickly
       dances back in.  [/font]
       [font=arial]Kathryn lands a stiff right that rocks Lauren’s head
       back, but Lauren is answering with combinations now—jab to the
       lips, straight to the sternum, hook under the elbow.  Kathryn
       throws a weak jab that catches Lauren’s chest followed by a
       combination that staggers her smaller opponent.  Lauren fights
       back with some punishing blows landing a short jab followed by
       another combination of heavier hooks to the body and face.
       [/font]
       [font=arial]Momentum is shifting, and Kathryn’s slowing
       noticeably. The crowd starts chanting “Lauren! Lauren!” and as
       the bell announces the end of the round, the two clinch and
       Lauren wrestles Kathryn into the ropes as the referee tries to
       separate the two.[/font]

       Kathryn[/font]
       [font=arial]Round 7[/font]
       [font=arial]Both ladies are on their feet taunting one another
       as the bell sounds to begin the round.  Kathryn comes out trying
       to reassert dominance, jabbing to the face, then smashing a
       right glove into Lauren’s belly. But Lauren’s guard is tighter
       now. She eats a shot to the chest and then lands a huge right
       hand to Kathryn’s temple! Kathryn tries to work her jab but
       cannot seem to work in a combination as Lauren retaliated with
       some hooks to the body.[/font]
       
       [font=arial]Kathryn stumbles back and Lauren presses her
       advantage—vicious body hooks, uppercuts into the ribs and belly,
       and a brutal breast shot that leaves Kathryn open.  Kathryn uses
       the ropes to her aid holding her up and she is able to land some
       body punches of her own to Lauren’s ribs and breasts.    [/font]
       [font=arial]Late in the round, Lauren drills Kathryn with a low
       left hook that buckles her knees. Kathryn clinches and takes
       deep breaths, eyes foggy.  The referee works to break the clinch
       but the two box their way out of the clinch as Kathryn landed a
       weak overhand right to Lauren’s head.  Lauren retaliated in kind
       and the bell rang to end the round. Neither wants to stop and
       the referee has to get between the two to separate them[/font]

       Kathryn[/font][font=arial] — but Lauren is coming on

       [font=arial]Round 8[/font]
       [font=arial]Before the round, Lauren’s team is all over her to
       get more aggressive or she would lose.  When the bell
       so[/font][font=arial]unds, Lauren opens with a body blitz—left,
       right, left again, all into the stomach. Kathryn winces and
       bends over. Lauren loads up and hammers a right hook to the side
       of the head—[/font][font=arial]DOWN GOES KATHRYN![/font]
       [font=arial]The referee warns Lauren about low blows.  Kathryn
       is on all fours, gasping, face bruised and dripping sweat. The
       ref gives her a count… she rises at 8![/font]
       [font=arial]Lauren storms in, throwing absolute bombs—hooks to
       the body, uppercuts into the chest, a chopping right hand to the
       liver! Kathryn drops again to one knee! The ref starts the count
       at 1... 2... 3...[/font]
       [font=arial]Kathryn grabs the ropes and hauls herself up at
       9![/font]
       [font=arial]T[/font][font=arial]he ref checks her—she nods,
       barely able to raise her gloves. The ref
       hesitates—[/font][font=arial]Lauren screams “NO WAY YOU STOP
       THIS!”[/font][font=arial] and shoves past, demanding the fight
       continue. Kathryn covers up and survives the storm. The
       [/font][font=arial]bell rings, saving Kathryn.[/font]

       [font=arial]Round 9[/font]
       [font=arial]The bell begins round 9 and though Kathryn is
       glassy-eyed she is still swinging. Lauren slips a jab and
       crushes a hook into Kathryn’s ribs, then goes low again,
       hammering the lower belly. Kathryn groans—then
       [/font][font=arial]BAM![/font][font=arial]—a huge overhand right
       knocks her back into the corner.  Lauren dominates the action
       landing punches at will and Kathryn cannot cover up or protect
       herself fast enough to stop Lauren.  [/font]
       [font=arial]Lauren attacks like a beast—slamming fists into the
       body, uppercutting the breasts, pounding the solar plexus.
       Kathryn is overwhelmed—then LAUREN DROPS HER with a short right
       to the chin![/font]
       [font=arial]Kathryn hits the mat hard—but the bell rings at 8!

       [font=arial]Kathryn staggers out—barely able to lift her arms.
       Lauren sizes her up, then launches into a savage final assault.
       She pins Kathryn on the ropes, throwing punch after punch into
       her chest and belly, ignoring defense. Kathryn groans,
       mouthguard hanging, trying to clinch.[/font]
       [font=arial]Lauren takes a half-step[/font][font=arial]
       back—[/font][font=arial]then drills a thunderous left hook deep
       into Kathryn’s belly button[/font][font=arial]—a perfect, brutal
       body shot.[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN COLLAPSES[/font][font=arial].[/font]
       [font=arial]She falls face-first, arms clutching her stomach,
       legs twitching. The ref waves it off

       [font=arial]WINNER BY 10TH ROUND KO – LAUREN DONZIS[/font]
       [font=arial]Post-Fight Interview – Lauren Donzis (Following 10th
       Round KO Victory Over Kathryn Newton)[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial]Lauren, first of all,
       congratulations on the win. That was a wild fight. You looked in
       serious trouble in the first half. Did you ever think you might
       not pull it out?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] [smirking] No. Not for a
       second. Look, yeah—she came out swinging. She’s bigger,
       stronger—she [/font][font=arial]should’ve[/font][font=arial]
       finished me. But that’s what separates me from girls like
       Kathryn Newton. I don’t fold. I
       [/font][font=arial]adapt[/font][font=arial]. I
       [/font][font=arial]learn[/font][font=arial]. And when I saw her
       punches start to slow and her breathing get heavy? That’s when I
       knew she her ass was mine.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] So you were confident even
       in Round 4 when you were rocked?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Oh, absolutely. I knew I
       had to weather the storm. That’s what champions do. And let’s be
       honest—she used up everything in the tank trying to take me out
       early. I took her best shots and smiled through them. That body
       work? It hurt, yeah. But I was never gonna let her see
       that.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial]Some critics are calling
       this one of the best comebacks of the year. What was the turning
       point for you?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] [grinning] That eighth
       round. That first knockdown? That was a
       [/font][font=arial]message.[/font][font=arial] I went to the
       body because I knew she couldn’t take it for ten rounds.
       Everyone thinks she’s all muscle and power—but when I got in
       close and started hammering her ribs, her gut, her boobs? She
       ****. She didn’t have a Plan B.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial]There’s been a lot of talk
       about your comments toward the Disney Princesses stable. Do you
       want to clarify anything?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] [laughs] Oh, I said what
       I said. They’ve been coasting for years off hype and social
       media smoke. They’ve got the Hollywood clout, the red carpet
       looks, the Disney backing. But when it comes to actually
       [/font][font=arial]fighting[/font][font=arial]? Most of them are
       soft.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] So, let’s go down the list.
       Dove Cameron?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] [rolling her eyes]
       Nothing special. Looks good on Instagram, sure. But I’ve seen
       her fight. She’s flashy until you punch her in the ribs, then
       she’s all clinch and panic. I’d break her in five.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Joey King?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Weak. Straight up. She’s
       scrappy, I’ll give her that, but scrappy don’t win against
       skill. She leaves her body open all the time. Easy
       target.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Bella Thorne?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Overrated. Loud. She
       tries to act like this unhinged badass, but when the pressure’s
       on, she crumbles. I’ve watched her gas out mid-fight and get
       bailed out by the bell more than once.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Debby Ryan?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Another one riding on
       name recognition. Hit her once in the liver, see what happens.
       You’ll be picking her up off the mat.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial]Olivia Rodrigo?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] [smirks] That that's
       someone who I really want to get  into the ring. Listen, after
       beating the snot out of Sofa Carson, Dove thought I held onto a
       triangle a little too long and got in my face when Olivia jumps
       me. [/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] I don't remember it quite
       that way. Didn't  she shove you?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Whatever, it was a super
       cheap shot but guess what? After a little scuffle Olivia left
       with a fat lip. Next time she  will need a stretcher. [/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] That’s a long list you’re
       calling out.[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Good. I
       [/font][font=arial]want[/font][font=arial] all of them. Line
       them up. I’ll take on the whole damn Princess roster. This isn’t
       a fluke. This isn’t a lucky punch. I just came back from the
       dead and knocked out another big mouth. This proves everything.
       I'm 3-0 against the Princesses. 3 and 0![/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Do you have a specific next
       opponent in mind?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Anyone who wants it.
       Dove, Olivia, Joey, Miley.  I'm there for anyone who steps
       up[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Kathryn said in her
       post-fight comments that you only survived. That next time, she
       finishes you. Response?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] [leans in] She had her
       shot. She hit me with everything she had. And where is she now?
       On the floor, curled up, grabbing her belly, eyes rolling. That
       wasn’t survival. That was
       [/font][font=arial]conquest.[/font][font=arial] She lost. End of
       story.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial]Any final words for the
       Disney Princesses?[/font]
       [font=arial]LAUREN:[/font][font=arial] Yeah. You’re all on
       borrowed time. The world sees it now—you’re what, 0-3 at Sin
       City VI? Kathryn was supposed to be their golden girl, their up
       and coming enforcer. And I broke her. Not just beat
       her—[/font][font=arial]broke[/font][font=arial] her.[/font]
       [font=arial]So go ahead, pick your best. I’m waiting.[/font]
       [font=arial]POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW – KATHRYN NEWTON (After 10th
       Round KO Loss to Lauren Donzis)[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Kathryn, tough loss
       tonight. You looked in full control early—what happened?[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [nods slowly, jaw tight]
       Yeah. I let it slip. No excuses. I dominated the first half. I
       had her right where I wanted her—backed up, gassed, hurt. Then I
       gave her an inch. And she took a mile.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Did fatigue catch up to
       you?[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] Not really. I mean,
       sure, it was a war, but I wasn’t exhausted. I eased up. I
       thought she was broken. I started thinking about the finish
       instead of earning it. That’s on me. I gave her life, and she
       capitalized. But let’s be real here—Lauren Donzis didn’t
       [/font][font=arial]outbox[/font][font=arial] me. She didn’t
       dominate. She [/font][font=arial]survived[/font][font=arial] and
       got her one shot. That’s all.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] She’s saying it wasn’t even
       close. That she knew she’d win all along.[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [laughs bitterly] Yeah,
       I’ve heard. Girl gets dropped twice in one fight, can barely
       stand after Round 6, and now she’s some unstoppable monster?
       Come on. She knows the truth. Her team knows it. That’s why she
       was crawling back to her stool more than once.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] She also said you were
       “folding like a beach chair in a hurricane.”[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [eyes flash] She said
       [/font][font=arial]what[/font][font=arial]?[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Called you soft. Said she
       took your best and smiled through it.[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [leaning forward, voice
       sharp] Let’s talk about soft. Let’s talk about a girl who
       crumpled from a left hook to the liver in the fourth and needed
       the bell to save her in the eighth and ninth. She got her one
       big moment. Good for her. But she didn’t walk through me. She
       didn’t control that ring. She held on for dear life and found a
       lucky lane when I got sloppy.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] You’ve been called one of
       the up and coming Disney Princesses. Now she’s calling out the
       entire stable. Dove Cameron, Joey King, Bella Thorne, Debby
       Ryan, even Olivia and Miley.[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] Yeah, I heard. She
       thinks because she got one win, she’s unstoppable. She beat
       [/font][font=arial]me[/font][font=arial], and now she wants to
       act like she’s conquered the whole kingdom? That’s just
       arrogance. Or immaturity. Probably both.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial]Any reaction to what she
       said about Dove?[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [nods slowly] I’ll let
       Dove speak for herself, but I’ll say this—calling her “nothing”
       is the dumbest mistake Lauren could’ve made. Dove may be pretty,
       polished, whatever people want to say—but she’s a killer when it
       counts. That girl trains like a machine. If Lauren thinks she
       can do to Dove what she did to me, she’s in for a painful
       wake-up call.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Do you want a
       rematch?[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [without hesitation]
       Hell yes, I do. But not out of desperation. I’m not chasing her.
       I’m [/font][font=arial]waiting[/font][font=arial]. Because she
       won’t keep quiet. And the more she talks, the more people will
       start believing her hype. And when that rematch comes—and it
       [/font][font=arial]will[/font][font=arial]—I’m not walking in
       there to box. I’m walking in there to end the illusion. Break
       her down and [/font][font=arial]shut her
       up[/font][font=arial].[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Some people think this loss
       takes you out of the top tier. That maybe the Princesses are
       slipping.[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [gritting her teeth] Let
       them think that. Let Lauren think that. Let the world write
       their headlines. I know who I am. And I know this stable. Joey?
       Bella? Olivia? Debby? Dove? We’re not going anywhere. Lauren
       beat one of us. Barely. If she thinks that means she can tear
       the whole house down, she’s got another thing coming.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Do you see her as a real
       threat now?[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] I see her as what she
       is: young, hungry, talented—but reckless. And worse, arrogant.
       She’s riding high right now because she pulled off the comeback.
       Good for her. But ask her where she’ll be in five rounds the
       next time I find her body with hooks and uppercuts. Ask her if
       she’s smiling when I drop her in front of her smug little
       entourage.[/font]
       [font=arial]ERIN:[/font][font=arial] Final thoughts?[/font]
       [font=arial]KATHRYN:[/font][font=arial] [leans in] This isn’t
       over. Not even close. Lauren Donzis may have won the battle—but
       the war she just started? That’s going to get ugly. And I
       promise you—when she meets the rest of the Disney Princesses,
       and when she sees [/font][font=arial]me[/font][font=arial]
       again—we’re not giving her the luxury of a comeback.[/font]
