My takes on this set
. Definitely some tough choices in here that I didn't expect to be as tough to choose as they were. Another great set though!
Maisie Williams Vs Kirsten DunstWinner: Maisie Williams - As de Trixah said "Kirsten is soft, Maisie is tougher". I completely agree and though I'm hesitant about that half a foot size different (Also like de Trixah), I think Maisie's tough enough and energetic enough to eventually overwhelm her larger opponent. I think Maisie's in better shape, faster, tougher and much more spirited then her opponent would be. If this fight had been with Dunst 10 years ago, I would've gone with Dunst but now, I think Maisie's just too frantic and Kirsten can't keep up. Maisie wins after getting Dunst on her stomach, Williams on her back with a handful of hair, delivering strike after strike until the exhausted Kirsten has to give up.
Melissa Fumero Vs Sarah HylandWinner: Melissa Fumero - Yay, a Fumero win! I love Fumero, but unfortunately can't see her winning too many matches against some of the stiff competition in these sets. I think Hyland gives her a little bit of trouble at the beginning by fighting dirty, but Fumero overcomes and eventually dominates Hyland. Fumero's height, tenacity and discipline lets her take advantage of Hyland's mistakes, force her against a wall and smother her out between her chest. (A bit of revenge on Fumero's part after Hyland's dirty tricks).
Sara Jean Underwood Vs Zoey DeutchWinner: Sara Jean Underwood - I didn't think I'd have a tough time with this pick and I actually overthought it a bit before coming to my senses. I think Underwood takes this one handily. And even though I don't think I'll be able to say that about Sara often in this series, I think against Deutch she's got it. Zoey just seems a bit too timid and unsure of herself to win this match, especially against someone who seems as confident as Underwood. I think this is a good but short fight, where when Underwood takes control it's game over for Deutch. Sara traps Deutch between her legs, squeezes tight and the faintheartedness of Zoey leads her to tap.
AnnaSophia Robb Vs Kylie JennerWinner: AnnaSophia Robb - Now this might be controversial because of Robb's very small size and super small frame, comapared to Kylie's larger curvaceous build, alongside her fairly large height advantage. But I think Robb takes this. I really had to think on this one though. But I think Kylie's just too apathetic and indifferent to win this fight against an opponent that I think would be the exact opposite. I just see Kylie entering this match, expecting to win and being overwhelmed quickly by Robb's energy (Similar to Maisie). I do think there's a point in the match where Kylie wakes up and starts fighting back with a bit more urgency, but I think once she gains control back of the match (Presumably after throwing Robb around) that Kylie once again assumes she has it in the bag. And Robb seems like she has a never say die sorta energy, where she just keeps coming back and eventually takes control of the match again. Plus I don't see Kylie being strong enough to do much damage besides throwing AnnaSophia around. So I see this being fairly long, with a Robb-Jenner-Robb ebb and flow to the end of the match. I see Robb sinking in a sleeper hold, hopping on Jenner's back and despite Kylie slamming her against the walls, Robb doesn't let go and Kylie submits once she realizes Robb probably won't let go.
Vanessa Hudgens Vs Iggy AzaleaWinner: Iggy Azalea - Augh, I want Hudgens to win. I think she'd put up a hell of a spirited fight, but Azalea's just too big. Slim, petite Hudgens vs the curvaceous, larger Azalea.... I just don't think Vanessa can win this one. Maybe in a best of 10 series, Hudgens sneaks one or two, but Azalea is just too big and too strong to lose too Vanessa most of the time. After enduring a spirited assault by the fiery, out to prove something Hudgens, Azalea takes control of the match and never lets it go. After trying to get Hudgens to submit with a bear-hug and a series of hard slaps from a mounted position, Azalea throws Hudgens around out of frustration by her opponents hair. Azalea takes the simple way out, sitting on her opponents face, Hudgens too exhausted to fight back or slip out and forced to submit before she loses consciousness.
Katy Perry Vs Selena GomezWinner: Katy Perry - I like Selena, but she's not winning this one. I think she surprises Perry, who comes into this thinking it's not going to be much of a fight and gets one. But Perry overpowers her slim opponent after a lot of resistance from Gomez, who fights back with some fiery Latina spirit and anger. I can see Selena dishing out a lot of hard slaps that only piss Perry off. Gomez tries for a bearhug, but her chest is just overwhelmed by Perry's. Perry slips her leg behind Selena's and trips her to the ground, letting Perry fall straight on top of Gomez, her buxom chest bouncing into Selena's smaller one. Gomez has the wind taken out of her and Perry pulls her in between her chest by her hair while she's recovering. It's over after that, though I see Gomez being petty and scratching and slapping her opponent before submitting.
Maya Hawke Vs Rebecca FergusonWinner: Rebecca Ferguson - Oh no question Rebecca. Hawke's bigger and has a good mentor in Uma, but she's too young and naive to deal with Ferguson. Plus Hawke's just too timid to take full advantage of her height advantage properly and Rebecca picks her apart like it's nothing. Ferguson uses her small size and quickness to her advantage, plowing Hawke into a wall, tripping her to the ground and pulling her by her hair in-between Ferguson's legs. Once those are snapped in, it's quick. Hawke doesn't have the fortitude to fight out or last too long and taps quickly to Ferguson's powerful thighs.
Alexis Ren Vs Dakota JohnsonWinner: Alexis Ren - So I've cooled a bit on Ren ever since putting her at No.1 in one of the original lists. But I haven't cooled on her enough to think she loses to Dakota. Poor Dakota, I really don't see her winning too often. She just seems too timid (Like Hawke) and indecisive to beat someone who seems as confident as Ren. Plus Ren is in crazy shape, (Johnson's in great shape too but not quite that level). I think Ren and Dakota have a surprisingly great fight though, where Dakota tries her best to prove people wrong but just can't outlast or outpower the stronger, faster Ren. Alexis get's frustrated that the match takes longer then she thought, unable to put Dakota away (Because I do think besides her fitness, Ren isn't especially strong, just tenacious and limber). Ren get's Johnson on the floor and decides to finish it with some underhanded tactics, grabbing Dakota's underwear and giving her a wedgie so bad it would make any bully blush. Dakota can't take the pain and gives verbally.
As always, I'm looking forward to the next one!
