Before: Kbell battling the 'S' word in prefight. "I wouldn't say I'm slumping," Kris shrugs defensively. "It's the flyweight division - I've been fighting top 5 names and dropping close decisions. I probably should have beaten Mish - it was that close - but what's done is done. I'm focused 100% on getting Kate in trouble. She's rickety - ready to go: I've got an idea about her chin I want to test out and I think you guys'll love what I come up with!"

Bosworth eager to add to Kristen's woes: Bell still a marquee name despite recent setbacks, and Kate's always looking to pounce up the ladder. "I feel like I probably haven't gotten the respect I deserve," says the willowy wonder at the podium. "I've got wins over the best girls out there - yet they consistently rank higher than me. Hopefully, when Bell goes to her knees in this fight, people will start giving me some credit for what I'm doing at 110."

Bell in pale blue/white squiggly print bikini; small white gloves; sporty beach ponytail. Kate in midnight blue bikini; small white gloves; slicker/longer ponytail.

During R1,2,3: Tremendous class, skill, speed - both girls putting on a slick clinic early. Bell: eyes bright with focus - crouching/bobbing; right at her chin, left across her body - she'll bring that left elbow up to ward off punches. Bosworth legging 'round - circling Bell - trying to keep shorter vixen at arm's reach with a stiff, penetrative stick. Kate twitching into sudden right crosses, then scouring at Bell's ribs via gouging, lanky left hooks/uppercuts. Bell quick-twitching the right uppercut in close; raking hooks across Kate's waist and ribs. Brisk work, high work-rate, ponytails tossing as girls dart in and out, touching each other up. Each round close - Katie takes the first, Bell the next two.

R4: Bosworth rangy, walks Bell onto the clipping right uppercut: while Kristen's righting herself - Bos hops in on her toes, tucking a tidy little hook in onto Bell's chin. Kris chopped clean, reels backward into ropes: Bosworth with free rein, steps-to to apply vigorous lather. Good stuff - Kate all wiry, body and legs rigid as she lashes punches across Bell's head and shoulders. Small mitts sounding out cruel against KBell PIK! PAK! PAK! - Bosworth scouring her girl. Bell able to answer in the final minute - punching out of the crossed arm to move off the ropes. Bosworth eyes-narrowed, circles midring, patiently touching Bell the jab to the break.

R5: Bosworth hops in that short, whippy hook - catches Bell clean as she's trying to duck down - KRIS ROLLS TO HER BACK! Bell all stretched out, caught SO perfect: Bosworth dimpling up as she grins, struts to neutral corner. Kbell up at 8, but swaying: she digs in at apron, forming a ragged earmuff with which to receive Bosworth. Kate with plenty of time on the clock, ranges in with her jab, sets her feet: she's very patient applying polish to hurting Bell. Bosworth weight on front (left) foot as she stays busy - knuckling at Bell's shoulders to stabilize her before snatching at her. Chopping little rights upside Bell's head; nasty, jerking little left uppercuts across the lips, under the chin, dug deep to ribs. Bos ripping a satisfying hook to Bell's firm little paunch: small glove biting in, then bouncing off as Bosworth brings it back with a snatching snap. Katie with hands relaxed at her chest, putting combinations together, staying on Bell. Long, long minutes for Kris as she sits in ropes, soaks punishment, and tries to roll-with best she can.

R6: Bell hops in - similar short, muscular hook carried compact to Katie's chin: Bosworth stumbles back in awe, suddenly wobbly butt. Kate in sputtering retreat, eyes blinking: she's hurt, trying to leg out the minutes. Bell frowning, lips tight in pursuit - she's turned the tables, just trying to crowd her taller foe and work on her a bit. Sporadic stuff as Bell pounces upon Kate all around the ring, ripping away at her in combination until clinched, spun, or otherwise evaded.

R7: Bosworth firms - sets down in her stance to punch harder with Bell. Kris bobbing and weaving, looking for hooks: spirited back and forth as shorter girl presses longer girl around the ring. Bosworth on front (left) foot, putting short, ripping licks together: Bell lumping up as Katie's clever fists find the mark. Bell hardly shutout: she's hopping in with hooks, working hard off Kate's chest, tidying up breadbasket, breasts and chin in combination. Bosworth often clipped a forget-me-not shot when she's backing out; Bell often intercepted a right hand on her way in. Close, hard fought round of classy, compact punching - goes to Bosworth by one single blonde hair.

R8: Bell gambles, breaks through Katie's defenses to score with hooks. Hooks to the midsection; hooks behind the elbow; hooks upside the head. As Bosworth wilts, retreating in wonder - Bell's upon her hungrily, stepping-with and getting off. Short, chopping lead rights often set it all up - Kris drilling sleepy Kate on her face, stunning her. Midway through - Bosworth in ragged retreat: Kris sells the jab, hooks off it instead, stepping in and cleaning up every square inch of Bosworth's chin. DOWN GOES KATIE! Long, lean blonde crashes to her back, blinking up at the lights in anguish: Bell's eyes blazing, nostrils flaring as she stomps to neutral corner. Kate bravely off her back - woozy and hurt at the ropes, but she digs in, no longer able to leg away from punishment. Bell steps-to, dips her left shoulder, weight on left (front) foot as she cocks her body to deploy ripping hooks. OH THE HUMANITY! Bell just setting and digging - bouncing that small mitt leather off Kate's tortured ribs with dreadful rip-snatch delivery. Bosworth open-mouthed, on the verge of collapse - BUT SHE JUST WON'T GO! Kate rallies late, clapping away on Bell's chin with rangy little uppercuts in close, then trading whippy hooks as both blondes get their chins toggled late. Bell seething at the break, searching out Kate's eyes for signs of quit: Bosworth reeling, but defiant, holds her gaze.

R9: Bell has another strong minute of pursuit - but Katie's catching a second wind. Bosworth wheeling to her left, working the jab: she brings Kris to heel, starts to take the play away during an intense second-minute renegotiation. Bell blundering into short right hands and hooks on her face, then missing or stalling-out as Bosworth pivots to safety. Kate keeping the left hand on Bell - jabbing her, hooking her - then placing quick-twitch right hands bingo on the chin. Down the stretch, Bosworth channels Lohan - easing in close on front (left) foot, popping hips-right and tucking a bloodcurdling little left uppercut in under Krissy's right breast. Sob of agony, Kristen Bell - she backs away suddenly shabby, hugs herself and GOES TO HER RIGHT KNEE! Bell's face pinched in agony, lips back off her teeth as she cringes on bended knee: Bosworth hardhearted on her way past, looking the other blonde over.

R10: It's just too close - both ponytailed vixens give it all they've got. Bell risking chin-checks by hopping in lead hooks, pressuring Bosworth around the ring. Kate pumping her jab, busting Bell up, walking her into shots: she too looks to hop-in hooks, getting the same succulent whip-leverage to chin as does Krissy. Pleasing back and forth as Bosworth uses the ring, constantly changing angles on Bell, systematically outboxing the determined little former champ. By the end, they're strapping each other without restraint - each taking flush strokes to jaw, each getting off with brisk, crisp, professional form. Goes to the cards, comes back a hard fought Draw.

After: Just nothing to chose between these two tonight - class answering class as each girl matched the other's moves all night long. "I'm disappointed," a scuffed up, drained Kris Bell admits in postfight. "I really wanted to knock Kate out, and I think that might have effected my decision making somewhat. I got a little hook-happy - because I was hurting her with it - but I could have boxed better in space, made her give up her height better. I was anxious because I didn't want to lose again, and that tightness probably held me back tonight."
