BEFORE: Trouser-pounding phenom? Super-efficient knockout artist? Whatever the label, Kate swaggers into semis with the least amount of battle damage and the most amount of controversy surrounding any fighter. "Lesser women such as Rachel MacAdams are bemoaning my successes," Kate breezes in prefight. "It's to be expected. I'm the World's Sexiest Woman; soon to be bantamweight champion of the world, and poised to win the Oscar for my groundbreaking work in White Out. That's too much for any one woman - I know it's unfair - but my opponents need to accept my supremacy and try to live as best they can. Evangeline Lilly is soon to join the ranks of the disappointed. She is a little brute - I won't allow her to turn this boxing match into one of her meat-grinder sessions. I shall stitch her with punches, and outclass her. I will bring UK boxing to the forefront of the sport, erasing the failures of Catherine Zeta Jones and Liz Hurley. Mine will be a reign of..." on and on: you get the picture. Lilly comparatively concise after Kate's lengthy filibuster. "Umm...all I got out of that was that Kate thinks she's pretty hot stuff. Whatever: to me, she's got a little height to her, and not much else. I'll fight my way through to her ribcage and see what develops. I know what she THINKS she's going to do; I just don't see her doing it. Oh, and Kate? If you even LOOK at my trunks, I'll answer." Kate in purple Esquire bra and panties; wild tangly hair; small black work out gloves. Lilly in baby blue bikini with pink/white/mauve floral pattern; small black work out gloves; messy ponytail with strands framing face.

During R1: Kate pivoting crisply clockwise around jab/hook-off-the-jab combos: tidy execution keeping Lilly at bay. Evangeline patient, turning, crouching: dukes at brows as she bobs and weaves. Becks pumping out a high work-rate - touching Lilly, turning her: not a lot of damage done but Kate keeps the fight mid-ring, uses her legs, turns Lilly's right flank to engineer tactical first round points.

R2: Lilly spitting out a stubby double jab, stepping-to Kate, cutting off the ring. Beckinsale forced to ropes, suffering her first smiting rights and lefts across the tummy as Lilly bores in. Kate: grimacing; reaching for Lilly's head or arms. Evangeline stamping on the spot, raising her elbows to shove Kate off; using shoulders to bump; using head to grind underneath Kate's chin. Withering punishment for Beckinsale: she slows Evangeline, but can't stop her from digging up ribs/tummy/tits through 2.

R3: Kate pumps more jabs, stiffer jabs, hook-and-pivoting clockwise with crisp, wheeling turns. Beckinsale upping her output, working hard: she's peppering Lilly, clouting and sticking at her while turning 'Vangie's right flank. Lilly staying compact, bobbing low, weaving side to side in her crouch, but unable to penetrate. Constant Lilly pressure forces Kate to execute at the limit of her performance envelope, setting a new Beckinsale punchstat personal best for punches thrown...it's enough to contain Lilly, keep her suppressed through 3.

R4: Lilly bobbing up and down; jitterbugging with her feet; jabbing to Kate's tummy - anything to work inside on Beckinsale. Kate tight-lipped, standing ground: she's looking to catch Lilly uppercuts on the way in. Toe-to-toe fighting as the girls clash heads, stroke each other hooks: Beckinsale stumbles away from hot-tossing two way, showing peek-a-boo guard off the ropes Lilly jabbing to close, then working flanks: brawny, batting right/lefts tic-toc off World's Sexiest ribs as Kate takes it behind the elbows. Sneaky little right uppercuts as Kate leans back into ropes, but it's not enough to punch Lilly off. Evangeline secures position, digs in, begins the hard work of reducing Kate's torso to rubble with steady shove-n'-slug. Bell: Kate panting - she pushes Lilly in the back when Evangeline turns away, prompting referee intervention.

R5: Kate punching off the pivot - jabs and hooks: she's got that right hand holstered. Minute mark, Becks shows her class: left jab sets up tight, biting hook, followed by a jerking little hesitation left uppercut, startling Lilly to chin. Evangeline momentarily wobbly-butt: she covers up earmuff, grunting as Kate dips-left, lifts a pair of tasty left uppercuts to the Lilly breadbasket. Kate opening up from there, tattooing Lilly with drilling one-twos, cuffing double-hooks while pivoting left. Beckinsale on her toes, turning her foe, shouting "HA-H! HA-H!" as she gets off stiff left hand techniques. Lilly pasted - bobbing and crossing her arms, trying to get underneath Kate's work, but catching tart lefts and rights off her face. Through 5 see-saw rounds, Kate's secured a slender lead going into the second half.

R6: Early pressure from Lilly fizzles at the end of Kate's jab: Beckinsale showing a classy stick, strong legs as she pivots-and-pokes to perfection. Midway through, Kate scoring beautifully: left hooks off left jabs, followed by the slightly delayed left uppercut. Sharp, straight right hands shafting in, punching clean to Lilly's face...EVANGELINE'S ROCKED! Peppering accumulation building up - Kate picking Lilly's guard apart, scoring from just outside Lilly's right shoulder. Gut-check Evangeline as she grows confused: sturdy legs/toned body holding firm as Kate has her best moments yet. Down the stretch, Beckinsale snarling, eyes feral as she rips and plows at Lilly - hard, hard punches banging back Lilly's face, or digging into her ribs. Evangeline stumbling, punched out of her stance and simply wandering under fire: crowd squealing in anticipation of another upset as Beckinsale unleashes. Bell: Lilly cut at the hairline, swaying, but standing and defiant...goes at 10-8 Beckinsale without the knockdown.

R7: Evangeline steely-eyed, batting her mitts as she rises from her stool: she greets Kate's opening jab with a roaring overhand right and DOWN GOES BECKINSALE! Crowd on its feet...Kate on her back, picking her head up woozy...Lilly glaring, nostrils flaring, answering with VIGOUR to open the 7th! Becks beats the count shabby, blinking and snivelling as ref wipes her gloves on his shirt, then it's Hello Lilly as Evangeline wades on in. DONNYBROOK! Kate bares her fangs, fights desperately off the ropes...crowd in hysterics as young Lilly lays siege, but at a fearsome cost. Glorious back and forth: Lilly clipped via right uppercuts and savage left hooks; Beckinsale shudderiing under salvoes of clubbing lefts and rights launched to her flanks/tummy/chest. It's Beckinsale's finest hour, but there's too much Lilly coming at her: final minute sees Beckinsale cover up weepy and overwhelmed, slumping to a seat on ropes. Lilly digging at her prey: brutal right hands over and over behind left elbow; left hands beating in above Kate's right hip. Beckinsale doubled over, shuddering under the onslaught: Lilly hammers away to bell - ref has to pull seething canuck off her foe. During the break, Kate getting rubbed down, doused with water as corner tries to revive her: Lilly pushing Becks past her limits through 7.

R8: Lilly's into Kate's reserves: you can see it. Becks able to pivot-and-jab for a minute, but she's punched and hounded to ropes thereafter...sets up grim shove-n'-slug as Lilly establishes position. Evangeline fighting off Kate's chest - constantly shoving on Kate, shouldering her, propping her - all that jostling setting up brawny, digging body-clout. Beckinsale mouth-breathing, shabby - hair obscuring half her face as she grimaces, tries to tie up. Lilly slowed at times, but she's able to punch her way out: 'Vangie doing a great job keeping her hands free, denying Kate ref's breaks.

R9: Beckinsale hollow-eyed, distraught as Lilly takes her to ropes early. Evangeline establishing position - pushing and propping at Kate to get her upright and disrupt the guard - then it's a clubbing torrent of brawny, bashing body blows. Kate battered about her tummy and ribs: she sags against ropes, one or the other arm draped around Lilly's shoulders as Evangeline's pumpin'. Lilly reducing her foe, then coming up top with ripping little right uppercuts or blunt little hooks: Kate's beautiful face lumping up nicely as Lilly cleans up through 9.

R10: Kate battered, but proud: she shakes off her trainer, electing to soldier on. Lilly eyes-bright: it's all going her way now as she drives Becks to ropes. OH a huge right hand clobbers Kate's head back over top ropes...she slumps forward limp, sponging up a pair of thumping lefts in her stomach that buckle her knees. Lilly bodying up, bracing Kate against ropes, then processing her: Evangeline just a brawny little bull in there - feet planted, backside ringing, shoulders rotating as she pumps in punches thumpthumpthump. Chugging abuse to lungs has Kate sobbing: she's a helpless vixen at this point, too proud to submit, too weak to turn Lilly back. Kate's curvy legs hold her up: she proves durable as Lilly romps to finish line, bruising up the World's Sexiest torso with hardhearted determination. Bell: Lilly still pounding away for insurance - ref pulls her off as Kate hugs her body, sits in ropes, visibly agonized. UD10 Evangeline Lilly.

After: Kate actually ahead through 7 - outboxing Lilly as promised - cutting and hurting her...but in the end, Evangeline's conditioning proves too much. "I wore her out," Lilly says with a pretty shrug, blue eyes sparkling. "To be honest, she gave me much more than I was expecting. She's tough, she's got a strong will, and I hate to say it: she's probably the best fighter I've faced in this tournament. I think her attitude's holding her back: if she had a little humility, maybe she'd work on the few things she needs to get even better. But that's her problem: I'm through to the finals, and that's all that matters!"
