Before: "Ali Larter taking a championship was like a wake up slap in the face," Erica admits in prefight. "She's a rival - she's a poor-man's Erica Durance - and I have to stay busy to keep pace with her. Cook's a nice fighter - like a young Jenny O'Dell - I expect good rounds out of her until I get on top and break her down." Cook upbeat: every ppv appearance a feather in fresh young blonde's cap. "I know Erica's a big step in class for me," AJ allows, "but she's a goal for me - a measuring stick. You guys might not see it, but I've been closing the gap on girls like Erica. By the time I'm done in this game, I'm going to have wins against Durance - big, decisive wins. Maybe I'll get a good start on that in THIS fight!" Cook ship-shape in crisp white sports bra; shades-of-blue wave-print bikini bottoms; white gloves; smooth low ponytail. Erica in baby blue Smallville bikini with yellow strings; white gloves; curly ponytail and unruly bangs because she's just so feisty.

During R1: Classy, well conditioned lightweights set brisk pace. Durance stepping in, testing AJ's midsection via cranking hooks - pumping a couple in, then looking to swipe a hook across Cook's face while shifting weight to back (right) foot. AJ dukes about chest-high - chin up and out - but her springy legs and clockwise pivoting helping to keep her jaw out of trouble. Cook shoving a jab from her chest into Erica's - straight poke, a little pushy rather than snappy - but she's following with a smooth, sneaky right hand, frequently punching Erica on her mouth. Durance harder-hitting, more aggressive - but Cook getting touches, spanking away in lively sessions all around the ring.

R2; Cook with a robust tanning of Erica's waistline: spanking rights and lefts startling Durance, forcing her to cover up midring. Cook scoring to flat tummy, stepping out: blonde ponytail tossing - eyes wide and bright - she's showing a classy leg; tidy combinations; and fearless attitude. Cook carrying her hands a little low, chin a little high - but blonde's pre-emptive aggression to brunette body, coupled with smart footwork makes it tough for Durance to chin-check her blonde.

R3: Durance steps up the pace - using her jab more consistently to range-in, preventing Cook from potshotting. Ringing exchanges: cook covering up earmuff as Durance whacks away rights and lefts up-torso and down - then AJ answers. Cook brazenly, willfully hooking Erica's world-class jugs: Durance's brow darkens and she answers hotly, muscles of her back and shoulders shredding into view as she bats flanks. Erica salts away the round with firm right hands: two straight up the middle, knocking back AJ's face; one chopped over AJ's left shoulder as Durance sidesteps right for a cute angle. Erica making scowling eye-contact; AJ's lips tighten in a you-don't-scare-me line.

R4: Midring: AJ scores with batting lefts and rights to the waist - her elbows in, weight on front (left) leg as she shocks Durance. Erica buffetted soundly about tummy and ribs - she steps out with a pair of pinging jabs, showing more respect than anyone expected. Cook aggressively forward - face very intense: she's bringing the fight to Erica, confounding pundits at this point. No other way to say it: Cook pursues Erica around the ring, engages her, outfights her in a series of ringing toe-to-toe exchanges. Bell: Cook chests up, making brazen eye-contact; ref steps in as Durance's temper starts to boil.

R5: AJ on top with spitting jabs, then a crisp right cross - ringing blows finding Erica's chin and backing her up. Durance fielding firm clout, retreats to apron - jabbing as she backs up to prevent an AJ blitz. Cook eyes wide - SO intense: she's pumping her jab, working the left hand to Erica's chest, then dropping crisp right crosses with increasing accuracy to Erica's chin. Durance clipped again and again - facing into the blows: Erica lumping up in these moments, getting outhit. Latter half the round - Durance jabbing, covering up, then stepping in to crowd her blonde: Erica electing to test AJ inside, bumping heads and shoulders with her. Cook backing up, but competitive: she's throwing her left shoulder into Erica's mouth or chest, refusing to be bullied. Durance compact - leaning in with gloves at her mouth, looking to snatch at AJ's body with either hand, then smothering the receipt. FURIOUS exchange at the bell as girls hustle for points: AJ landing lefts and rights to Erica's eyes; Durance punching her left hand straight to Cook's mouth - right hand wide to blonde chin. Ringing!

R6: Girls hop-to - legs taut and strong - dukes up: turning into a hot-tossing, classy scrap as Cook pushes Durance to up her game. Good stiff jabs - girls staying at medium range - locating each other with left hands up the middle. Erica re-establishing a cranking double-hook off her front (left) leg, just bounciing her mitt off AJ's firm tummy. AJ trusting her body - she counters with straight, oily-smooth left/rights up the middle, neatly pasting Erica's face and steadily busting her up. Erica taking a lot of face-punching so far, but walking through it: Durance paying the price to do yeoman's work downstairs.

R7: Furious, withering exchanges. Erica setting a blistering pace, trying to exhaust AJ - but Cook won't fade, matching gym-rat brunette move for move. Erica frowning, lips curling off her teeth when she commits on hooks to AJ's body: whacking smack of those blows thudding out loud on camera. AJ absorbing, legs holding firm when Erica's digging in - then blonde pounds back up the middle - straight one-twos pasting at Erica's jugs and face. Late the round, girls trade blistering right hands to chin, then back with ringing hooks: both finally have to step back, shaken by the exchange.

R8: Erica pressing the pace. She's hurting: left eye swelling badly, face puffy - but she's coming forward, jabbing rigidly while keeping right hand high at her cheek. Durance' jab starting to do more than range-find: AJ's head jerking and kicking back - lips parting, reactions fading just slightly: Erica's connect percentage creeping higher as AJ's increasingly stationary. Exchanges are still sharp, tangy affairs: AJ willing to hook-with Erica and trade right hands on the button - leading to several thrilling slugfests. AJ's back touches ropes for the first time - Erica looking like the stronger vixen as she pushes Cook to bounce her off the strands before pounding at her.

R9: Durance walking through AJ's jab, doubling her own jab in exchange: both women doing gorgeous face-punching with the left hand. Cook still fighting hard, but Erica clearly dominating the exchanges, trading punch for punch then stepping forward as AJ retreats. AJ's face showing concern: she can't escape Durance, can't hurt her - she can punch-with her, but always at a deficit. Erica putting exclamation mark on a good round with a robust pounding of her foe's ribcage and waist; whacking rights and lefts cramping AJ up, rendering her helpless at the bell.

R10: Erica across the ring quickly, jabbing into AJ, then crouching, edging in, pushing Cook to the apron near blonde corner. Entire round plays out in that quarter of the ring - AJ trying to step around Durance without success - frequently being thrown back into the ropes by dominant brunette. Erica's jaw clenched tight, eyes blazing - she's just digging in - leaning in on her front (left) leg and putting both hands on AJ in whacking bursts: great, thumping display from prime brunette. AJ refusing to punk - she covers up, absorbs a beating, then slugs back in spots - denying Durance any real chance to pile-on. Erica throwing more, landing more, controlling ring-position - but AJ's will unbroken, fists still flying at the bell. Comes back UD10 Erica Durance.

AFter: Durance the winner - but so's Cook to some extent: blonde wins the first half, comes up a little short down the stretch and gives Erica a whale of a hard-fought dime. Durance showing class - hugging AJ in the aftermath and chatting about the fight - brunette giving Cook all kinds of props for a much tougher night than expected.
