Thanks to Ginny for this repost

Henstridge at the dais with shit eating grin and Cuban cigar - she's enjoying new-found notoriety. "I'm bringing down the house of KruZher all by my lonesome!" brays the challenger. "Stackin' 'em up like cord-wood. Heigl's punching meat - everyone knows this - I want to warn everyone now: this won't be for the feint of heart. When I touch a girl up - she stays touched." Katherine pleasingly plump at the big weight, unperturbed by the hard-core rhetoric. "I've been around enough to know big talk means big fear," purrs the champ. "I'm comfortable at this weight - it's not even my best weight to be honest, but you can sacrifice a little speed at middle and it doesn't hurt you. Nat's got those big legs, but she's a lightweight up top. I'll hurt her." Nat in metallic blue bikini, slashes of white running through - Katherine in black crop top T-shirt (tight, tawdry), high waist black aerobics bottoms (snug).

Round 1: Nat looking for overhand rights - Kat smart as she ducks inside rather than away, countering with thick rights straight to the body, getting her weight behind the blows and driving Henstridge back. Nattie so wild and long with her punches, she's making Heigl look like Claire Danes in there - Kat able to see everything, slip in low, deposit her body shot and back her girl up for points.

Round 2: Nat's gotten it out of her system - little smarter this round. Jab long and strong - she's got stick, Heigl has to block respectfully outside. Shorter, straighter right hands, threading it through the guard, testing Katherine’s chin, moving HER back this round. Heigl not the same fighter on her heels - she's chipped away at, forced into retreat, but doing a good job with a blocking defense - not hurt as Hennie rolls to a bully's shutout.
Round 3: Spirited trade at arm's length, favors the lankier Henstridge and end of min.1 she catches ALL of Heigl's chin a crashing right cross. Kat's knees give out, she sags, straightens, clatters to her right - Nattie pursuing off the left shoulder, jabbing, jabbing and NAILING another right hand from the sheer angle, driving Heigl to ropes. Nat squaring away big girl - pushing her left hand in to brace Kat, then drifting in the right hand, hammering a dazed, stunned patina onto Heigl's face. All chin from Kat - she's in stupor, taking blows with her back to the ropes, but refusing to go down - Hennie sniffing in contempt as she looks over the wreckage at the bell.

Round 4: Heigl roars back! Nat opening up wide to finish - Kat with her wits about her able to duck inside the strokes, drive right hands blunt into Henstridge's bony torso and put her ropeside. Hennie doesn't like the big girl inside - Kat tall, but fights compact, staying low, keeping hands free, rotating her shoulders and WORKING in there! Janet screaming encouragement - she's finally got this kid moving her hands and staying busy when she gets in position and it's very effective. Hennie discouraged, riding long arms around Heigl's back, giving away tender ribs and pain-wracked belly to Kat's hungry fists.

Round 5: Hennie shopworn, mouth open - she's walking to her right, away from Katherine! Heigl the huntress now, stalking Nat, stepping in and pitching overhand rights against blonde's left shoulder to guide her to the ropes, then weaving her head to get past the panicky jab. Kat on the inside, head on Nat's chest, hands free - Heigl just belting that body, wearing out the tall girl. Nat wobbling, reeling - right arm listless across Kat's back, Heigl just feasting on those right side ribs the hooks, getting a clubbing right to jaw and chest - she's loving it in there! Accumulation has Nat breaking down - chin shots are leaving her windblown, she's cringing from the body shots and HENSTRIDGE GOES DOWN! Nattie sinking to her haunches, crying tears like any beat-down bully, hugging at herself and it's OVER! Katherine Heigl defends her titles AND KruZher honor - KO5 Heigl.

After: Natasha disgraced - all the bluster gone - she came swaggering in, she goes limping out as a consistent, busy body attack and short right hands to the chin break her ALL the way down. Great fight for Heigl - at 140, she's got that little double chin thing happening, trunks bite into her waist in a pleasing way, she looks smooth, but she's strong in close, busier than a lot of the tall ex-models - maybe she's not such a joke after all. "Katherine 'No Joke' Heigl," says Kat, "I like it! You know, after what Nat did to Charlize - really just a heartless, one-sided mauling - somebody had to step up and take care of business. People better tread lightly when they get in with Theron because I've got her back and I won't have her treated shabbily." Brooke Shields isolated and held back by KruZher security - they don't want another one of her staged 'scenes' to upstage the champ.
