Before: "I respect Neve," Lilly says in prefight, "but she's standing between me and my title. That's not a place girls want to be. I know Neve's a determined and strong woman, but I'm sorry: I'm getting her beat, and stepping over her to Jenny. That's just the way it has to be." Campbell bright-eyed at the podium: she's been angling for a Lilly fight for sometime, only to have it come to her unbidden. "The difference between me and Evangeline is that she's only thinking of Jenny, while I could care less about McCarthy and the belt," Neve explains. "The title is great to have, but at this point in my career, it's about measuring myself against the best. I acknowledge Lilly's a special fighter at this weight, and I want in with her - simple as that. It's a big enough fight for me personally, that I'm setting aside my differences with Allison Mack to once again have her act as my gym-controller and chief sparring partner. I know I need to get the hardest sparring I can find for this fight, and with Allison, I know I'll get the kind of preparation I'll need. After that, it's up to me, and I can't wait for the test." Lilly in purple tank top and panties; small black gloves; messy ponytail with strands framing face. Campbell in blue/white horizontal striped bikini; small black gloves; hair in messy short ponytail - strands framing face.

 

During R1: Neve with a good stiff jab: Lilly repulsed early as Campbell steps-left. Minute in, Evangeline's own jab's finding the mark...she's starting to weave Campbell's poke - getting to ribcage with stroke. Stabbing palm-down right shakes Neve in the stomach; quick-bite hook up top toggles Neve's chin; quick hop-in follow up right hand punches through Neve's guard, driving her backward. Final minute: Lilly establishes on Neve's chest, grinding her with classic high-octane, non-stop pressure. Neve butt-in-ropes, grimacing as Lilly pounds paunch and jug; rips uppercuts and hooks to chin; pulls at Neve's guard and pushes into her to reset.

 

R2: Neve featuring the jab - ramrodding it against Lilly's sturdy guard: Campbell with initiative as Evangeline's leaning forward. Quick left uppercut badgers Lilly's jugs; VICIOUS hook follow up bites deep to Lilly's liver and EVANGELINE'S HURT! Campbell just PARKING that shot home: instant cringe from Lilly as elbows come in, torso lurches forward as she backs away. Campbell struts to her foe, stepping into her with a tight-arc swinging right sidearm to stomach: Neve deliberately staying on that super-conditioned body. Lilly's turn to suffer on the ropes: she's grimacing - left arm across her body; right hand palm-out at left cheek as she dips and rolls. Neve squares away - palming and shoving Lilly to stabilize, then whacking away shivering, straight arm licks to either hip and flank. Thudding beatdown loud and sustained, but Lilly resilient enough to absorb, and answer late, avoiding the shutout with brave toe-to-toe swapping at bell.

 

R3: Lilly getting Neve early - jabbing to Campbell's chest, then featuring that savage, palm-down thrusting right into breadbasket. That sets up Lilly's quick-swipe hook-to-chin - followed by the swift hop-in straight right to mouth: Neve punched back off her heels, driven to ropes. Lilly driving in, muscling her way to Neve's chest - bumping Campbell shoulders, palming her hips. Lilly a little bull Neve's china shop here: pulling Neve's hands away from her temples, wrestling her arms apart. Clubbing, chopping blows from Lilly take Neve on her jawlines, in her jugs. Digging, 5 punch combos drum at Neve's tummy, bunching her forward. Campbell mouthbreathing, dazed by the bell: Lilly just pummelling her, then stacking her up, then pummeling her some more in systematic fashion.

 

R4: Lilly driving Neve to ropes: Campbell unable to hold canvas in early going. Evangeline so thorough, so busy, so systematic. Head lowered - she establishes inside position, fighting off Neve's chest, putting head on either Neve shoulder. Punches dig repetitively at Neve's belly - just pumping sequences of 5,6, and 7 stuffing lefts and rights - Lilly just lowering her head, blazing away. Punches smash at Neve's breasts as Lilly comes off the belly - leaning onto right foot to get left hooks or left foot to get right hands. Pulling at Neve's guard and pushing in on her - Lilly's able to free up the head - clouting and clubbing Neve about her ears and temples. Just a brawny job of work - bell to bell. Campbell slumped against ropes - doing her best to tie up - but she's having NO luck either escaping or countering.

 

R5,6: Lilly starting to pull away: she's drowning Neve in work rate; dominating ring position; dictating terms. Campbell muscled to ropes, then systematically abused: Lilly SO strong when she's in close, working stubbily, pushing and bumping and mauling for slugging room. Constant pummeling of blows beats at Neve's pain-wracked tummy, throbbing ribs, aching breasts. Neve busting up some from the clobbering shots upside her head - Lilly occasionally bending her back to clip home the odd short, vicious uppercut inside to Neve's beautiful face. Just steady sheets of Evangeline - Campbell baring her teeth, hooking back in spots, trying to stay covered up - and when that doesn't work - trying to tie up. Lilly refusing to give up position: she's got Neve ropebound, and she's diligently breaking this proud brunette down. After 6, Neve disheveled, brows swelling: she's woozy, but making defiant eye contact as Lilly gives her that chilling once-over, checking for quit.

 

R7: Lilly viciously at Neve, punching her to ropes, then mauling her anew - constantly working on Campbell either bumping or slugging. Lilly adding murderous bicep punches to the mix - turning on flat-knuckle wallops to either Campbell arm - beating down the resistance. Neve baring her teeth, leaning back into ropes and getting uppercuts: she's taking Lilly in her jugs, on her chin - punching bitterly for respect. Intensity builds to fever pitch - crowd roaring once they're both in high gear, just RIPPING each other cruel blasts. Down the stretch, Lilly in a bobbing rhythm that sees her dipping side to side, catching Neve short, powerful lefts or rights on the jaw out of the crouch. Blows add up - Neve goes limp: she slumps into ropes - eyes glassy, body suddenly relaxed. Lilly opening up the floodgates just as bell rings - bringing in the ref. Campbell jiggly-thighed, blinking wide eyed and stunned en route to her corner. On her stool, ref asks her if she wants to continue...Neve replies "Need to. Ask HER if she's had enough."

 

R8: Neve weight on left (front) foot, popping hips-right and lashing glorious hooks up into Lilly's ribs: Evangeline grunting on receipt, momentarily cramped up on approach. Lilly bravely pushing through the bodyshots, answering back robust combinations to Neve's belly and ribs: shoulder-to-shoulder hammer and tongs erupts Campbell's resistance stiffens. Hardest two way fighting of the night as Lilly strains to work forward - bumping and bobbing on the spot, then pounding away from her crouch; Campbell covering up, absorbing, then answering back. Both women POUNDING rack in spots - unusual for these girls - but they're getting up in there all hup-hup as the other grits her teeth and suffers.

 

R9: Lilly fresh, vigorous, relentless: Neve's bitter determination in the 8th has left her drained. Evangeline driving forward, owning Campbell at ropes: Neve just sitting on cable, hands at temples, lips pursing as she absorbs clout while crouching/rolling slowly. Campbell taking hellish punishment now - pounding drubbings along both her flanks, on her arms, breasts and ribs...then she clinches, open-mouthed on Lilly's shoulder for ref's break. When the breaks come - Neve moves along the perimeter - trying to use a screened right hand as a sneaky interceptor. Lilly just stalking - jabbing Neve in her left shoulder, walking her down, pushing in on her and pouring on the volume. Bell: Neve drenched in sweat, exhausted, battered badly about her face and body. Another frosty once-over from Lilly as Evangeline looks for signs of collapse - finding nothing.

 

R10: Neve draws on unguessed reserves - leaning into ropes for support and fighting a savage battle for 10th round respect. Lilly attacking early like she wants to close the show - but ripping hooks to her body and jaw have her bobbing and covering - even backing off at times. Campbell bellowing "COME ON!" waving Lilly back on in: Evangeline accommodating - bobbing forward in crossed-arm, looking to lash wallop out of the crouch. Murderous action as Lilly storms Fortress Campbell: Neve dug in, using the ropes to help her slip-and-counter; Lilly tireless, pouring on the heat and ripping at whatever's left of Neve. Hammer and tongs as neither girl spares the lash: comes back UD10 the hard way, Evangeline Lilly.

 

AFTER: Campbell beaten unrecognizable - swaying on her feet when she embraces Lilly in the aftermath of this gorgeous slugfest. Evangeline lumped up herself, chatting with Neve for a moment before cameras and business take over from mutual admiration. "I didn't want a war," Lilly winces as her ribs are tensered up on camera, "but Neve wasn't cooperating tonight. Obviously, we gave Jenny exactly what she hoped for: Neve hurt me to the body, and ribs heal slow - but I'll be ready for the title bout. I just couldn't stop her - I don't even think she took a knee tonight. When Neve Campbell sets her mind to go the distance, it's very hard to persuade her to do otherwise!" Campbell paying the price for her stubbornness: collapsing on her stool, wincing in pain as HER ribs are buttressed. it's another in a long line of brutal wars of attrition on the resume of this savage-brawling phenom.
