Before: Fought at Moulon Rouge in Paris—super model boxing much more chic in Europe than stateside. Masco coming to prominence on competitive losses to Gena Lee and Heidi Klum, is fed to Romijn as the latter keeps busy with this better than average tune up. Masco in royal blue bikini, white strings, Romijin in black push bra bikini.

During R1: Romijn opens with a plausible left hand, sort of unfurling the punch and stuffing it into Judit’s face, creating openings for the harpooning right hand. Masco with a rigid Euro-stance, fists tight in front of her face, gives up a long torso to Romijn who spanks away with the right hand on Masco’s bony rib cage. Masco actually to fight inside the final minute—long limbs awkwardly scraping uppercuts across Rebecca’s body as the girls lean in to the bell.

R2: Masco convincing Romijn to join her on the inside, and the lanky models club away with very deliberate action on their punches, uppercuts are articulated with exaggerated knee bends, shoulder motion and follow throughs while hooks land with whipping motion to the ribs as the girls rotate around in a tight circle. Romijn finishing stronger—busier, and often using the side of her fists in combination at close range while Masco covers up—bong elbow in.

R3: Rebecca starting to open up this round, banging the side of her right fist into Judit’s ribs, slapping with a left across the lips, then turning over the right into the hard right cross to repeatedly bang Masco’s head back. Judit still a one trick pony—gloves up, trying to walk inside, but Romijn simply buffeting her with slinging blows throughout the round.

R4: Romijn swinging away in horizontal arcs with her fists, sweeping Masco’s high guard out of the way and battering Judit senseless to open the fourth. Judit helpless, taking punches—obviously with no clue of what to do when hurt. Romijn ecstatic as Judit crumbles, connects with several illegal rights—the side of her hand bashing into Judit’s jaw, while the left more a timing punch, slaps at Masco’s face. Judit reels to the ropes, and the ref leaps in before Romijn can do any more damage. Impressive TKO4 Rebecca Romijn.

After: Great all around performance from Romijn, who lives up to her billing for one of the few times in her career, Judit willing, but alolowi9gn Becky to initiate all night long, and Romijn just buries the Spaniard with swinging blows.
