Before: Ledford stepping up in class - she's built her comeback on the backs of willing, but undergunned rookies and ingenues: Campbell an experienced former champ with a no-nonsense, tough to negotiate style. "I think Brandy's really relied alot on intangibles," says Neve in prefight. "She's intimidated a lot of these kids, confused them, fought in spots. None of that is going to work against me. I'll make Brandy fight for all three minutes, every round, and we'll see if there's anything more to her than a mean stare-down." Brandy in neon orange bikini, Neve in cerulean blue.

 

During R1: Neve bodying up, walking Brandy to ropes, works Ledford over bell to bell. Patient, suffocating attack - Neve fighting off Ledford's chest, piling into the belly, bumping up with her guard or shoulders, investing in smashing blows to ribcage for the long haul. Ledford gloves at her temples, mouth open - she's trying to ride it out, looking for spots, but unable to get her butt off the ropes in a squashing Neve Campbell first.

 

R2: Neve hard into Brandy again, bodying up, legs stomping hard to drive Ledford to ropes - Campbell sets up to work her girl over. Neve riding her guard into Ledford, smearing her sideways to the ropes, then punching her back and belly while crowding in close. Neve on Brandy's luscious jugs, shrugging up in there, pressing close on follow through the smother the receipts. Brandy all stacked up, mauled and bullied through the first two minutes - gets a breather with a blatant dip n' rip hook to Campbell's trunks. Neve sobbing aloud, doubling up - ref jumping in to give Campbell a break, but it serves to rejuvenate and steady Ledford instead. Brandy boxing out the clock midring behind her jab, looking for new ways to manage Campbell's pressure.

 

R3: Neve crowding back in, bulling Ledford to the ropes, shouldering her upright and getting immediate working woman's justice with a pounding left square on the trunks. Grim trench warfare as Ledford grinds tousle with Campbell, reaching in under Neve's arms to spread her out a little, then jerk up into breasts and belly tight n' tasty at close quarters. Neve not discouraged, answering back with thump to Ledford's throbbing ribs - brunette deliberately putting mileage on vintage blonde chassis through 3 hard working heats.

 

R4: Neve relentless, but Brandy proving a fighter. Ledford meeting Neve midring and punching-with, gets the better of the brunette in a series of tangy exchanges - blonde more accurate, better defensively as she collects Neve's chin short right hands and crisp hooks. Ledford chipping the short-arm jab, stepping right - she's turning Neve a bit this round, bodying-on and walking the brunette - snatching at patches of exposed rib and tummy in between brawny clinches and shoulder bumps. Girls falling in, but not wallowing in one another's arms - a moment's struggle then they're back at it, digging without pity to one another's bodies.

 

R5: Bump n' grind midring, staggering counterclockwise rotation as girls lay in, swap it up. Ledford starting to get some things: right uppercuts on the chin; doubled up hooks ear and liver; turning Neve with crafty pushes or pulls on the elbows. Campbell's output dropping slightly as punishment accrues. Down the stretch, Ledford with her left shoulder in Neve's chest, putting right uppercuts and hooks together slick: swatting left on the ear, digging left to the liver and NEVE TAKES A KNEE! Campbell gasping, wincing in disappointment - supreme satisfaction on Ledford's face as she downs the younger beauty in gruding toe to toe.

 

R6: Brandy bouyed, takes it to Neve: Campbell's back touches ropes for the first time in the fight. Neve laying in sweaty, looking a little drained - Ledford bodying up, pushing and mauling, tucking in tight behind the elbows or scooping tummy - blonde just putting her hands all over brunette now. Brandy checking Neve's chin sneaky uppercuts at intervals, but not getting greedy - Ledford just keeping it on Campbell, weighing her down, punishing her - it's a good consistent rub down.

 

R7: Hardhearted give and take midring - Brandy trying to discourage Neve - Campbell catching a second wind and refusing to give any more ground. Heads in close, legs straining to hold position, both girls can just rest a cheek on a willing shoulder and dig away mindless hooks to pain-wracked bellies inside. Slowly but surely it's Neve - fight drifts agonizingly to the ropes where Ledford is stacked up - Campbell head down, works hard to pound away arms, ribs and tummy to the bell.

 

R8: Ledford visibly wilting, mouth open - pace and punishment finally getting to her. Neve walking Brandy straight back: blonde legs can't hold their ground. Neve ruff with her head, rubbing it back and forth under Brandy's chin, palming blonde biceps back, exposing breadbasket to more and more abuse. Healthy helpings of jug being taken - Campbell able to get up into that rack at will, crowding in with her body to smother the receipts. Ledford struggling to get forward off the ropes - she's really being overpowered at this point.

 

R9: Exhausted Brandy Ledford waits in her corner rather than contest Neve midring - Campbell marching in, setting up shop on Ledford's chest and going back to work. Steady thumping bash of Campbell's clubbing rights and lefts, interrupted only when she lays in or pushes up on drooping blonde. Brandy crossing her arms or draping on the ropes face-in-hands: she's clipping nuisance uppercuts or slapping at Neve's sweaty waist, but all the sting is gone from blonde mitts. Campbell chesting up at the bell, punking Brandy eye to eye: tough for Ledford fans to watch their girl get a bit of her own medicine.

 

R10: Neve marches on Brandy stacks her up in her own corner and goes bell to bell the clearly dominant fighter at this point. Brandy stooping forward, drowsy, eyes half shut - she's just reaching around Neve's elbows, trying to glom on and slow the pounding. Campbell steady, not wild, pouring it on Brandy with hearty thump, but everything's short, heavy and professional. Bulging Ledford rack flattened just because Neve can - it's a heartless exhibition of smash-mouth boxing. Bell: Ledford standing but weak-kneed - Neve peels off beaten blonde, lifting her mitts and strutting. Comes back UD10 Neve Campbell.

 

After: Cougar gives former champ all she wants through 6, forcing Neve to her knees and leading her on the cards, but youth is served down the stretch. Campbell's indomitable will the decisive factor - even when hurt she pressed the pace on Ledford, confident those aging legs and heaving tummy would give way in the end.
