BEFORE: Scerbo a brown belt Tae Kwon Do artist; star of Bring it On films and gymnastics show Make it Or Break it: could she be Hayden 2.0? "I'm not afraid to label myself a Hayden-buster - make that THE Hayden-buster," confident Cassie says in prefight, "but I'm really so much more than that. I respect Hayden and don't want to dis her...but she's just another obstacle to me. Girls like Brittany have been trying to push Hayden, but they just don't have the oomph. I've got ballistic power the FCBA has never dreamed of: a legit gymnast/celebrity with bottomless cardio and bone-crunching pop. Brittany's about to come in second place...hard!" Snow rolling her eyes: far as she's concerned, she's the only Hayden-buster who counts. "In case Cassie hasn't noticed - and it doesn't sound like she has," Brittany sneers, "SHE'S here as a tune-up for ME: we don't need to hear her wannabe aspirations. She's a cute little nobody I'm gonna showcase on: nobody gives a hoot who or what Cassie Scerbo is!" Scerbo in royal blue sport bikini with bra style top; hair in high ponytail with bangs framing face; small white gloves; dark tan. Snow in white bra style bikini; white gloves; hair in loose curls. Seething stare down: aggressive little blondes glaring at each other with heat.

During R1: Brittany looks to dominate debuting fighter early: right idea; problematic result. Snow batting mitts off sturdy Scerbo meat, but Cassie answering right back: crowd-pleasing spank of small gloves on tight bodies erupts loud and rapid. Snow redoubles her efforts - hup-hup-hupping to Cassie's sturdy ribs in close: Scerbo able to take it, pump it right back to Brittany's astonishment. Cassie very compact, landing overhand rights off Brit's chin while dipping down: rookie's coming forward, pushing former division fighter of the year back. Ropes: Brittany grimacing...she's punching hard n' short to Cassie's midsection and jugs, trying to bang 'er back, but Scerbo won't have it. Cassie's tanned legs shred up strong as she holds the canvas she's taken: head lowered, shoulders rotating as she pumps digging lefts and rights to Brittany. There they stay - little patch of canvas at the ropes a few feet from Snow's corner: Scerbo eventually shutting Brittany down and enjoying her in one-sided fashion to the bell.

R2: Snow hard-eyed, frowning with concentration: she jabs from the crouch, skidding fist across Scerbo's scalp as Cassie's bobbing underneath. Fresh body-wallop from Scerbo - hooks and right hand roundhouses thumping LOUD off Snow's ribcage: Brittany driven back - even when she connects on a stubby right uppercut to chin. Ropes: Snow bracing herself, reaching under Scerbo's arms; Cassie squirms in the grasp, writhing HER arms down inside Brittany's - outmuscling Snow and keeping her ropebound. Chins nestled on each other's left shoulders; left arms in underneath opposing rights - the girls stamp for balance on the spot, digging short, stuffing right hands into firm tummies/flanks. Snow grumpy - unable to push her way out of there, or get the better of the body-bumping. Scerbo stays on top, jamming away short right hands to Brit's bodkin, outworking Snow for more points. Bell: scathing eye-contact from Scerbo has Snow blinking...Cassie SO aggressive through 2.

R3: Snow fits Cassie for a stubby right cross midring - halting Scerbo's forward progression for the first time. Come-back hook turns Scerbo's chin aside...she's forced back, eyes blinking rapidly. Snow tight-lipped, eyes bright: she hops close, tucks right hand to tight blonde guts, then throws her shoulder into Scerbo's chest, knocking her backward. Cassie driven to ropes and punished: Snow bouncing an assortment of short, withering lefts and rights off her foe's head and body. Scerbo momentarily stymied, but rallying: she crosses her arms against her body, takes some shots, then starts answering! HAMMER AND TONGS! Stocky flyweights plant and pitch - each girl landing ruinous, muscular clout...but it's Cassie stepping forward off ropes. Savage brawling ensues as Brittany digs a line in canvas and commits to it...only to be rooted out and forced back to a SECOND line, then a third. Steady progression sees Cassie eventually work Snow to far ropes: Brittany issues fight's first true defensive clinch for ref's break. Scerbo bright-eyed again, eager: she's shaken off Brittany's power and renewed the offensive - reaching under Snow's arms to walk her into ropes. Grinding work out of mutual wraps: girls holding each other close with the left arm, while pumping away righty. Brittany grimacing, lips curled off her teeth in pain: she's fighting her fight, working hard, but simply unable to faze little dynamo Scerbo.

R4: Cassie forward, getting off brawny: Snow visibly discouraged as she can't hold canvas. Brittany slugging it up shoulder to shoulder - she's swapping left uppercuts and short right hands, bouncing fists off Cassie's head and body...trouble is Scerbo's doing the same only double! Scerbo backs Brittany to ropes, shoving and jostling before ripping away to breadbasket: groaning Snow really giving way, ties up for break. Ref pushing Scerbo back, but she hops right back in to continue the siege: Snow can't got off the ropes. Cassie warned for ram-stamping her fists flat down onto Brittany's quads: poor Snow whining in protest at the brutal charley horsing. Steady punishment accrues to Brittany: she's covered up peek-a-boo, stooping forward listless off the ropes, really sponging it up from tireless Cassie. Round ends to the sight of paralyzed Snow in forward stoop, accepting a series of muscular hooks in right armpit/side-boob...Cassie just weight on left leg, lips in tight smirk as she gets off to bell.

R5: Snow mouthbreathing, busting up: nothing in her arsenal has shifted Scerbo thus far. Swift exchange in right crosses/left hooks sees Brittany take hard to chin...she totters backward, in tears as her back hits ropes. Cassie pouring in...carrying her right hand deep to breadbasket: malevolent smile on pretty face as she doubles poor Brittany up "UHHH!" Cassie reaches under Brittany's arms, stacks her upright, works out of the wrap: left arm securing Snow around the back, slumping her forward for pumping right hands amidships. Crowd electrified - Scerbo just so kinetic pumping the leather to Brittany: very reminiscent of early Hayden. Snow coming apart at the seams, growing limp in Scerbo's arms: Cassie constantly having to stack up and reset, propping Brittany for more. Scerbo alternating - wrapping Brit first with the left arm, then with the right: equal opportunity slugger digs with vigour from either side. It's all too much...Brittany going out on her feet...mouth open on Scerbo's shoulder, eyes closed...ref finally realizes it and moves in. Brutal TKO5, Cassie Scerbo.

After: Savage stuff: Scerbo circling the ring all blazing eyes, tanned thighs, gymnast-tight buttocks - coming back to weepy Snow to show her a thumb-across-the-throat gesture (ed. note: that's an instant fine): Cassie posting a titanic debut against a good solid blonde who's generally not thought of as stepping stone material. "I want to clarify what you guys just saw" Scerbo says like a girl used to owning the room - chest still heaving with excitement. "I just made an entire class of flyweights obselete. It's not just Hayden: it's Song, Hudgens, Snow, Bell, Kreuk, Meester, Lohan if she still counts, Simpson when she makes weight - you know the girls I'm talking about. 2010's not going to be the year everybody thought, because nobody saw me coming. As for Hayden - I do respect her, but she knows as well as i do how similar we are. There's only so much spotlight to go around, you know?"
