Before: “All the comparisons are very flattering,” Larter smiles at the podium, “…for Jenny. I’d like to think I’m not just the ‘new’ Jenny O’Dell—I’m an ‘evolved’ Jenny O’Dell. We both started out as very balanced, versatile—but I’ve taken everything to a higher level. Just my gym workouts would leave Jenny breathless, you know? It’s my time to shine and put hurt on a former champ, Comprehensive beating: that’s the plan for Jenny O’Dell.” JOD highly amused—chuckling, shaking her head as she takes the mic. “Ali needs to adjust her fight plan from an offensive strategy, to a SURVIVAL strategy against me,” Jenny quips. “’Comprehensive beating’ sounds good in prefight—little tough to do when your butt’s jammed into the turnbuckles and you’re getting thrashed. Fine—you know: I don’t have to be friends with every fighter in the FCBA. Ali wants top get into this deep—that;s just fine with me. Too bad—she had a promising career ahead of her.”  Jenny in black SHARK bikini, small black gloves, gold belly chain. Ali in black push bra; leopard printy bikini bottoms; small black gloves. Girls go nose to nose during ring instructions—both radiating Alpha waves.

During R1: Similar aggressive stances—right hands at cheeks, lefts slightly lower an forward, prepped for jabbing; torsos in forward fighting crouches. Jenny knocking poke against Larter’s brow, then slamming a straight right flat-knuckle in under left breast: beefy impact draws oohing crowd reaction. Larter tight-lipped, absorbs shock, answers back a pair of rights to Jenny’s abdomen, then a gonging right upside the head. Jenny dukes up, rolling shots—she answers back thick amidships—drumming a succession of lefts and rights against the ribs and tummy as Ali keeps her mitts cheek-high. Larter back with a pair of scraping right uppercuts across Jenny’s front, then a clouting right wide to jaw, followed by a pair of crushing hooks to rack. O’Dell on her heels, blinking; she dips back in, carrying her right hand to the pit of Ali’s stomach, then easing onto back (right) foot while pulling the hook across Ali’s teeth. Back and forth—very crisp, hard punching in combination: both women fighting juuuust this side of reckless—it’s very disciplined, professional, up tempo fare. Bell: both girls shiny pink about the ribs, scuffed about the faces and trembling from the adrenaline rush of smiting and being smote.

R2: Big, banging whacks ring up Jenny O’Dell’s jugs—she staggers back aghast, then  bends in a looping right to jaw, backing a snarling Larter off, Girls circle—right, now using legs—each stepping in an easy range-finding jab. Slow lateral movement—girls just sliding their feet, eyes narrowing: both settling into a more sharpshooting posture than the hectic, hard-working look of the first round. Girls changing le el with supple torso-moves—Ali sleek as she jabs, then rotates her torso in a little circle to keep head moving. Jenny dukes up, looking things over—reaching out her jab to find Ali—wheels turning in both beautiful heads. Ali jabs, dips, rolls her torso then RIFLES the right hand! Sudden blast off shoulder straight n’ true to Jenny’s chin—O’DELL’S ON HER BACK! Thunderclap knockdown—punch erupting out of nowhere—just stunning Jenny to jaw, O’Dell in RUINS!—up on her elbows, mouth open—eyes glassy, legs outstretched. Ali jogging bright eyed to neutral corner, grinning at the sight of Jenny struggling up: O’Dell beats the count, but there’s no way the ref can let this go: THE REF LETS IT GO! O’Dell groggily pleading for fight to continue—gets a reputational continuance: Ali wades on in.

Spearing jab knocks Jenny’s head back over top rope—Ali stepping in with the shot. Larter pulls back so as not to smother herself—Hooks Jenny’s jugs, hooks Jenny’s jugs: nice tight, curling delivery as Ali rolls her shoulder into the motion. Jenny combative—waves a shabby right up top: Larter quick-rolls to her right to slip, answers back a jarring right uppercut to chin, spilling Jenny back into ropes. O’Dell out, but curvy legs holding her up—she stumbles along cables to her right, hands loose at he chest. Ali roaring in with a right, pounding Jenny’s face hard to starboard—Jenny’s hands stacked at her body—elbows up to either side. Another pounding Larter right catches Jenny flush—O’Dell skidding to her right, face woozy into punishment. Another right loosens Jenny terribly—body all slack and helpless and THE REF JUMPS IN! Ref hugging defiant Jenny to ropes, saving her from herself, Larter bellowing, beating her right hand against her chest: she climbs BSE corner, draws thumb across her throat in heat-of-the-moment exuberance. TKO2 in spectacular fashion—Ali Larter.

After: :Larter not known for gloating or meanspiritedness, gut the combination of O’Dell and Larter obviously bringing out the beast in Ali. After a few minutes of ring-milling—Ali pushes towards BSE again, clearly intent on WALKING Jenny O’Dell. Dim, banged up, humiliated Jenny lifting bare knucks to chest—she’s still swaying, blinking badly, but she’s prepared to go down swinging. Carpenter and Lilly manage their respective fighters as officials move in—hard feelings in the air as Ali’s shouting “I OWN YOU!” over top the crowd.
