Before: May/December dance: both girls upbeat, positive coming in. Katie well rested after several developmental bouts - she's ready to take a step up and handle cougar-Courtney's business. "I want to make up for what happened against Garth," says Holmes in prefight. "To me, it's the same fight, except this time I'm truly prepared and ready to take the next step."

 

Smith just as convinced she'll turn the ingenue back after a better-than-expected performance against rugged Dani Fishel. "Dropping Fishel proved I have more than enough for somebody like Katie. I'll punch her to the body, do harm - I'm fully expecting to run Holmes out of the ring."

 

Katie in royal blue skirted bikini (recent movie) - Courtney in black Hanes cotton undies (bra and panties). Small gloves both vixens.

 

During R1: Courtney rings Katie up a looping right hand on the temple - long brunette stork-stepping around hurt in opening moments. Bruising blonde follow up: Smith ripping Holmes to the ribs and waist as Katie covers up, wilts back-on-ropes. Katie recovering nicely down the stretch, spreading Courtney out with a harsh, scolding stick, creating a little distance as Smith backs off, conserves energy.

 

R2: Katie stomp-planting her left foot as she spears the jab: loud banging noise on the canvas as Holmes commits to the punch. Nasty surprise for Court - Katie pounding blonde between and above both eyes, popping her in the mouth - stiff, unforgiving poke has Smith backing off, circling warily. Courtney sharpshooting to tanned young ribs in spots - ducking in and sweeping rights above the hip.

 

R3: Katie's stick no-joke: she's a little robotic with it, but it's a banging, long-limbed poke that's finding Smith's brows and nose. Katie's footwork improved: she's slidestepping backward, pivoting left, pushing off the back big toe for power on the stick. Holmes also using her left to cup Courtney's head, steering her for sidesteps - good rangy stuff. Smith the boss when she can edge inside Katie's left and hook her breadbasket - blonde combinations dominate as Holmes covers up and looks only to disengage when inside.

 

R4: Katie peppering the jab, stabbing it, keeping Smith occupied and turning the blonde midring. Courtney closing up her stance, left across her body, right under her chin, bobbing, weaving, trying to edge in close with her shoulder to Katie's chest. Holmes form degrades the closer-in Courtney gets: to get Smith off her, Katie's slapping and pushing brushing lefts and rights while stepping out. Court crouching, slipping blows - getting out-tossed by a wide margin, but midway through, she times a clanging hook to Katie's right temple to once again unhinge long brunette legs. Lack of pursuit sees Holmes right the ship, but she's a hunted beauty in the last minute as Court stalks for points.

 

R5: Katie recomposes herself, gets back on Courtney's face with that darting, drilling stick, moves off at angles: textbook distance boxing. Holmes basically one handed, jabbing with the left, pulling Courtney's head down with the left, occasionally hooking Courtney's shoulder or ear - Katie keeping the right hand at her cheek out of respect for Smith's sudden hooks. Court crouching, bobbing under stick, trying to shift inside and work - but she's rarely in position - Katie able to work hard, score points with the stick and keep her distance through 5.

 

R6: Shutout Holmes - partly Katie, partly Courtney responsible. Smith making Katie miss with cutey-pie upperbody moves and good head movement, but blonde not letting her hands go. Holmes busy pumping stick, stepping rangy and she's gradually lumping Courtney up as 1 in 3 pokes cracks home. Katie's legs strong, pivots looking more comfortable, more natural at times as she sidesteps, guides Courtney past with that cheeky left hand behind the head.

 

R7: Katie sets down, starts to kick Courtney's ass a little this round. Hard right hand off the jab stuns Smith, backs her up in first minute. Holmes stalking along the ropes, ringing her jab off Court's brows, banging back the head, starting to break Smith down. Final minute, good anticipatory footwork sees Katie hop back from a lunging Smith attack off the ropes: Holmes walking Smith's chin into a surprisingly rigid counter-hook, sending blonde reeling sideways to the adjacent set of ropes. Ref rules it a knockdown as the ropes deemed to have prevented Court from falling - Smith stomping her foot in woozy protest at the call, buttocks jiggling angrily in black cloth. Katie mopping up less effective - she squares away and swishes lefts and rights, mostly arm punches: she's more effective operating out in space with the opponent cooperating than she is getting big on the ropes.

 

R8: Courtney getting inside more consistently - Holmes spending longer stretches covered up, leaning forward and giving away her lats on the cheap. Smith businesslike, moving her mitts - she's rub-a-dub-drubbing those abs little tapping lefts and rights, ripping a more serious hook in behind Katie's elbow to bend Holmes a little, move her grudgingly to her left.

 

R9: Same again only Courtney's starting to pick Katie up with uppercuts on the inside as well. Holmes taking a comprehensive beating at this point, leaning forward behind her guard, letting Smith get off: Courtney's small, hard mitts sounding out bright and sharp against Katie's tanned, toned flanks, flat tummy, slender arms.

 

R10: Same again, only Courtney's now using her uppercuts to shrug-chug away short to Katie's jugs, humbling them, THEN picking up Katie's chin at close range. Holmes finally clinching - does two things: 1.) Stops Courtney from punching, 2.) Ref's break recreates distance - Holmes can force Court to pay the toll to get back inside. Smith still the boss, collapsing distance and enjoying herself - but aside from the odd ill hook or left uppercut she's just tapping and touching in there - nothing Katie can't handle. Smith outworks her girl to the bell, lifts her mitts and hoots - frown lines on Katie's forehead as she anxiously awaits the decision. Comes back one point duke: KATIE HOLMES!

 

After: Holmes hugging her trainer and looking shocked - 10-8 7th gives her the edge as Smith is sent away fuming. Coming together for Katie - she's got a jab, and a jabber's footwork outside - if she can learn to hold on the inside and force the fight to be won or lost outside, she can be effective. Smith her own worst enemy tonight and veteran knows it: she's was bossing Katie down the stretch, had her hurt on a couple of occasions and didn't press the pace.
