Paula Patton vs Karen Gillan
(FCBA Independent vs Lookout! Atlantic Boxing)
(16-21, 15 KO vs 2-6, 2 KO)
Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago


BEFORE: Two guest fighters feature on the undercard and there's no stopping Paula Patton from making another swing at the established pecking order. Labelled as one of the best free agents in FCBA she has shaken off a tough loss to Tasya Teles and vows to upset the towering redhead Karen Gillan tonight: "Look, Karen has found a huge break in Hollywood lately but that's a false dawn! She'd be better off milking her Dr. Who fame over in the UK!" (giggles). "She's a lot taller than me but that means she's just gonna crash harder! These big girls always crash hard and well, Karen looks pretty soft in the gut so this is where I'm gonna POUND her!"

"Paula is a respected veteran but she'd be nowhere without the Upset of the Decade versus Righetti all those years ago. Her best days are over and everyone knows it! I made my name on BBC but hell, I love Hollywood even better! Hot redheads like me are always in demand and with the likes of Kate Beckinsale or Catherine Zeta-Jones not getting any younger, I was chosen as the new British face in Hollywood! Paula is jealous but she can't fool her birth certificate! I've waited a long time for another shot like this so I'm gonna make it count this year!", Karen Gillan sounds off pretty excited on the rebound after her initial Welterweight Revival bid fell short due to a KO10 loss at the hands of Sarah Lancaster back in 2015.

Paula Patton wears a black V-shaped one-piece swimsuit & orange gloves. Long black hair loose & straight. Karen Gillan wears a navy blue crop top, white hotpants & navy blue gloves. Both her top & gloves have a St. Andrew's cross painted on them. Striking red hair with auburn shade loose & straight. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

Round 1:
Karen's reach advantage makes all the difference in the opening round as Paula is forced to stay back and see her jabbing efforts barely graze the Scottish flesh. Karen doesn't dominate with raw power but you can settle down while preventing the other woman from making an impact herself and this is how Gillan carries on with the half-hearted attack that still leaves Patton on the back foot. The veteran American tries to find a hole in the Scottish defense downstairs but gets whacked over the top and only Karen's misplaced effort allows Paula to get out of there unscathed; the taller actress bounces off the top of Paula's forehead too often and when she finally nails her on the temple with a good combo it's too late to really make those punches count as Patton slumps on the ropes right at the bell and the ref has to drag Gillan away instead.

Round 2:
Paula lets it rip downstairs and catches the Scottish lass on the liver area which bends the taller actress to the side and makes her think better off it as the American sends in more promising assault to enforce a dominant close range stance. Karen struggles to adjust to the looming slugfest and eats a proper combo on the chin but Paula eventually powers ahead with the body assault and closes the younger foe down along the ropes. She whacks her around the elbows and there's not much room for Gillan to stretch the overhand response so she has to clinch the older woman but Patton still works the right hand to punish the belly button as the punches stack up into the Scottish gut! Uh-oh! Karen looks drained while taking the relentless body assault and slumps into a clinch in dummy fashion while Patton cleans out shop to win the round with room to spare.

Round 3:
More of the same in the third, Karen finds herself too slow to prevent Patton from blasting her tummy into a mush and gets beaten in a physical battle of attrition once Paula wrestles her butt-in-ropes. Phone booth slugfest gives the older woman a clear edge and she works the pale skin complexion of the Scottish babe into visible bruises while drilling it from both flanks. She headbutts Karen's boobs just to keep her down in a precarious position and the fans around the arena begin to wonder how long can Gillan withstand this slugging ordeal with Paula making her look rather pedestrian and out of her league right now. Karen clinches the smaller woman but she just can't stop leaking punches in the gut which triggers a wild ovation from the Patton fanbase when she drops a late uppercut flurry to sign off a dominant run. Lookout! Atlantic manager Nicole Richie slaps the redhead with a towel across the face during the break and Karen vows to make amends for this dry spell that makes her look like a random Dr Who companion rather than a genuine Hollywood talent indeed.

Round 4:
Paula sets up another body assault plan but Karen for once nails her on the overhand and scythes her across the nose a couple of times before looping a nasty hook on the temple. Ugh! This combo prevents Paula from enforcing the phone booth ideas and she has to use her footwork to work around the redhead's aerial bombs for remainder of the opening minute. Karen gets more aggressive and slowly backs the American onto the ropes while Paula fails to swing back at the Scottish lass and eats a brutal hook on the mouth that bends her to the side. Karen yells out in delight but duly proceeds to bury the older woman underneath a jabbing barrage which splits the ailing guard and has Patton's head rocking back & forth come the bell. Gillan rips another left hook right into Paula's mouth and the wiley veteran battles a significant swelling during the interval. She stares down the redhead in the opposite corner and you can tell she's downright furious right now.

Round 5:
Furious or not, Paula eats another scything double early in the fifth as Karen just blows right at her in swarming fashion to follow Nicole Richie's orders. Paula belts the redhead with a promising harpoon on the tummy but she doesn't produce numbers like she did in rounds two & three while leaking steady overhand blast instead. Karen works on the swollen lip spot and swivels Paula's head back & forth which renders the American really vulnerable here before one uppercut on the jaw too many sends her into a proper tail-spin. Paula tries to bide her time in mid-distance but Gillan has enough reach to blast a bomb on the nose that drops Patton woozy.. another wild swing finds the temple before a jackhammer right DRILLS the chin again... DOWN GOES PATTON!!! The veteran drops on all fours and appears to be shaken badly as she groans in pain... she sits down on her heels shortly afterwards but the count has reached six already and she makes a late effort to get up only for the gravity to take over... she cannot do it, folks! She slumps onto her backside and it's KO5 Karen Gillan!!!

AFTER: Karen yells out in delight while hugging Nicole Richie in the Lookout Atlantic corner but this was a hard-earned victory for the Scottish lass rather than a genuine slam dunk. Some experts might wonder if Karen owns a true knockout punch and whether she'd be able to turn this fight around if Patton didn't fight Tasya Teles just few days ago? Then again, every victory counts for the erstwhile Dr Who companion who offers a mysterious upside in a division always hungry for a new talent! Will she enjoy a breakthrough rebound in the ring similar to her movie career is still anyone's guess though!

Official Result: Karen Gillan def. Paula Patton KO5.
