Before: Brook cutting weight, coming in strong and lean - she's impressive and confident at the podium: "It's important to be in condition for Erica. She's a tremendously energetic fighter and you need to be in shape to compete with her. Ultimately, my jab and power will solve her, but I mustn't let her set the pace. Control first - then dramatic victory - that's my plan." Durance up for the challenge - she recognizes the importance of the fight in positioning terms. "It's dangerous to fight Kelly when you're not the champion." Erica explains. "You want to show that you belong in contention, but at the same time, she could very easily punch you OUT of contention. I love it though - Kelly's a great challenge, and the more competitive the fight, the better I like it!" Erica in crimson Smallville bikini with navy bottoms and crimson belting; white gloves; ponytail with swept bangs. Kelly in scarlet bandeau bikini with asymmetrical torn skirting; black gloves; pretty, curly ponytail, curls framing face.

 

During R1: Durance robusto to Kelly's ribs - ratatat lefts and rights shaking Brook in her stance. Kelly dukes up, elbows in...she's backing up grudgingly, suffering to the ribcage. Minute in - Brook tries to jab Erica off: Durance slips the poke, answers back a plowing right to chin: Kelly's head turns hard to starboard - she spins a quarter turn to her right and she's DOWN! Brook panting, on all fours, pretty eyes blinking...she beats the count for a cringing 8. ERICA POURS BACK IN! Durance all eyes blazing: torrential softening barrage launched against Kelly's ribs, then Erica's bashing away up top. Erica straight-backed, pressing out straight left/right crisscross combos - shelling Kelly with palm-down strikes guard and skull. Brook a helpless vixen, slugged up against the ropes - she takes a rude beating, firms, then STARTS SLUGGING BACK! Brook into Erica with a swinging right to paunch; looping left hook up top: grunting Erica giving ground as Kelly wades forward. Short right hand stepped in by Kelly to Erica's chin: Durance backpedaling to midring, hunted by vengeful Kelly at the bell!

 

R2: Erica robust to Kelly's ribs/flanks: Durance FURIOUSLY at her girl as Brook covers up. Kelly buffeted - hands up, elbows in - she's secure, but she can't get into her stance, can't answer back. Erica's non-stop punching short, biting, chopping - she's savaging Kelly's ribs, trying to loosen up the guard to get at those jugs. Brook wandering about in a fog, shipping leather - only in the final minute is she able to slug back via rights to body/hooks to head.

 

R3: Same again - Erica's plan becoming clearly visible as she douses Kelly with volume. Brook elbows in/hands up/chin tucked - she's buffeted around in little baby steps, suffering heavy torso shellack as Erica pours it on. Durance bearing her teeth, punching Kelly's ribs/arms/tummy - just short, biting, snatching lefts and rights at close range. Whenever Brook's guard loosens, Erica's hooking British breasts. As before, Kelly able to stabilize late and slug back: still no jab or straight right hands from Kel as she can't get her stance together for those punches.

 

R4: Kelly gets the jab on Erica midring, renegotiating terms. Durance punched on her chest and face: she covers up, weaving torso outside - looking to counter Kelly's poke with that swift right hand. Minute in, Brook detonates her first right cross off Erica's chin...THERE GO ERICA'S LEGS! Durance buzzed, staggering back all bendy-knees: she stabilizes, crouches low as Kelly wades in swinging. HAMMER AND TONGS! Erica ripping to body and head, both hands...she beats Kelly to punches, slugging the Briton back on her heels. Spurned, Kelly roams to her right, gets her feet organized, pounds out stiff jabs: Brook slowly re-imposing order as Erica can't penetrate. Seething stuff: at the bell - girls glare darkly at one another, chests heaving.

 

R5: Kelly jabbing Erica into compliance. Components coming together for Brook: wider stance; right (back) heel up off canvas; weight on left (front) leg as she pulses out the poke. Erica's weight on back (right) leg as she leans away swatting at incoming stick: she's weaving torso, trying to time Kelly. Brook punishing Erica's jugs - jab pounding home thick and spanking, pancaking those puppies...then the short, drifting right cross pours in, spooking Erica back. All Brook: very patient attack, extending on her punches - she's looking good through 5.

 

R6: Erica doubling up her jab to close, then she's back at Kelly's ribcage with that ringadingdong torso attack. Brook frozen, covered up behind her mitts: thudding beat against her flanks loosens her, has her stumbling around. UPPERCUT! Erica finally splits Kelly's mitts, picking her face up: hooks follow, pounding at Brook's bulging jugs. Kelly beaten ropeside, starting to unravel: she's trying to maintain her tight guard, but Erica's punching it apart, then scoring head, chest, body. ERICA POUNDS JUG! Jackhammering straight left/right crisscross salvos hammer Kelly's breasts - Erica hup-hup-hupping with that palm-down, ramming delivery. Terrific volume punching puts Kelly wobbly-butt: she's forced to clinch down the stretch, mouth open moist on Erica's dominant shoulder.

 

R7: Kelly batters Erica - completely turning the tide. Jabs, right hands strafe Durance early - hurting her, backing her off. Kelly attacking in forward aspect - leaning out over her left plant leg - chopping overhand rights/left jabs/left uppercuts against Erica's defences. Middle minute sees Durance mount a weakened offensive: Kelly backing up, allowing Erica to punch, then digging back heavy, swinging right hands to paunch. Down the stretch, left hook tugs Erica's chin - her back (right) foot slides forward, nearly sitting her down, but she stumbles out of it, forming up ragged earmuff. Kelly jabs Erica to ropes, bloodying her nose in the process: HARD right cross rocks Erica's head back over top rope, slumping her in strands. Thudding beatdown administered as Kelly squares away, cleans up: Durance's curvy legs hold her up as she takes it hard to the body. Bell: Kelly plows home an insurance right hand across Erica's breasts: ref jumps in, bodying a seething Brook back. Erica severely shaken - steadying herself with left hand on top rope: it's 10-8 Kelly without the knockdown.

 

R8: Erica answers. Patient jabbing - Erica in slight stoop, right hand at her chin as she plies Kelly's mouth/tits stiff left pokes. Kelly eyes narrowed, jabbing in response: Erica quickly turning over the right hand to graze Kelly's chin, brushing Brook onto her heels. Erica forward behind spitting jabs, then driving straight right hands down into Kelly's body. Scoring downstairs, Erica hooks up top, backing Kelly up, ruining her stance. Brook's receipt sporadic - she's trying to fight backing up, having only middling success as Erica imposes will.

 

R9: Kelly catches Erica a short right cross to chin: Durance buzzed again, face pinched in shock as she ponytrots out of her stance. Brook stalking her foe cautiously - jabbing Erica into compliance, then looking right hand/left hook. Brook committing to a lancing, downward thrusting straight right to Erica's body: huge, spanking detonations off Durance's front, crippling the HMK enforcer. Erica groaning, stumbling, trying to keep her elbows in: Kelly walking Durance down, punishing her methodically, eyes hard.

 

R10: Kelly punishes Erica, walking her down all around the ring. Durance stunned from Kelly's heavy, thudding jab - Erica's face blank, pasty, lips parted. Brook taking canvas with measured steps - maintaining stance and discipline - she's driving in rights to body and head, cleaning up in combinations whenever Erica falters. Durance's tremendous condition allows her to rally again and again: every time she loosens or goes ragged, she's able to firm up, block shots, and leg her way to either side. Big, banging tenth goes to Kelly: fight goes to the cards, comes back hard fought UD10 draw.

 

After: Decision inconclusive, but pundits drawing a lot of conclusions from the ebbs and flows of the fight. "I love how Kelly was able to come back on Erica after such a strong start for Durance," notes one commentator for Celebrity ring. "It's very difficult to overhaul Durance - she's one of the fittest girls in boxing, and when she does damage early, she's almost impossible to catch. But Kelly kept her poise, got herself together, jabbed Erica into compliance, then really took her apart over the latter half. At the same time, you have to love Erica's fight plan for Kelly - and Brook going to her knees really gives Durance the most visible moment of supremacy in the bout. It's very hard to separate these girls after this fight, which I take to be an indication of Kelly's steady improvement."
