Before: "Has Jessica won a fight since she was named Sexiest Bimbo, or whatever?" Garner cracks wise with press, earning pursed lips from Biel. "Seriously - this girl has been exposed big time. Good - not great, but good - boxers have taken Jessica apart with sound fundamental technique - and that's it. That's the key to her. If she can't overwhelm you with speed and athleticism, she doesn't really have much in the way of a plan B."

Biel also having her fun as Jennifer's expense - pinching some flab at Jen's hip during weigh-in, clicking her tongue in mock disapproval. "Garner's worked hard to get herself back into shape," Jessica allows, "but she's no where NEAR where she needs to be to get with me. She's as soft as I've ever seen her - I thought she was a freakin' mud wrestler at the first press conference - so this is going to be fun for me. I've always had too much for Jen even when she's at her best: I'd say she's 75% back and that's just not good enough."

During R1: Biel swiftly, aggressively at Jennifer: Garner covering up dukes at temples, elbows in, planted solidly to receive. Slashing potshots, Jessica: strapping hooks across Garner's pale paunch; swiping right hands skidding across the guard - Biel loose n' snappy with her delivery, left across her body, right under her chin. Second minute, Garner comes out of her shell, countering off the block: she hooks Jessi's teeth to pre-empt a Biel hook; she uppercuts Jessi's chin the right hand, turns it over to clout Jessi a doubled-up right on the ear; hooks Jessi's mouth again, then doubles the left hand down into Biel's liver to put Jessica groaning, wobbly butt and on her heels. Jessica stepping out and circling with a frown: sharp Garner punching in combination tarting up the sexiest woman on Earth in a crisp first.

R2: Biel attacking again: Garner presenting that Winky Wright front, looking to block, stand strong in the face of Jessica's aggression. Biel with vicious, swiping potshots - that limber-limbed hook slicing across the waist; swat-right hands up around Jennifer's ear - Garner keeping dukes tight to her cheeks or temples, weaving her torso to block and roll. Second minute - Jennifer dropping a heavy jab onto Biel - stepping it in to bang back Jessi's head - poke sets up a blunt right hand to chin, staggering the Sexy One yet again. Biel pouting open-mouthed as SHE covers up earmuff, tilting forward: Garner edging in on her front foot to clean up on rightside ribs with heavy-cranking hooks loud to flank.

R3: Jen walking Biel down, banging away that heavy jab - Jessica concerned, scooting 'round the perimeter, looking a little gunshy and punished. Loping lateral movement buying Jessica a little room however - she's able to turn Garner's flanks, keep her back off the ropes, feint and change directions on Jen. Down the stretch, Garner hangs a jab - Biel makes her pay: sharp, shocking counter-right hand bingo onna chin puts Jennifer wobbly butt midring. Slashing follow up to waist - Biel getting in there with wince-making rip - getting whippy leverage off swiping shots with her elbows in, torso turning into licks. After three - both beauties scuffed, stung, feeling one another's power.

R4: Little more caution from both vixens. Biel picking her spots to edge in and swipe - she's making a consciencious effort to strap Jen's body, doubting the brunette's conditioning with every stroke. Garner maintaining her guard, blocking most anything above her belly button - she's jabbing Biel hard to the forehead and cheeks, looking to hook off the stick as she steps forward.

R5: Classy technical chessmatch continues - Biel lithe, prowling on the outside, eyes narrowed in concentration as she looks to slash in off angles and potshot G. Jennifer compensating for her foe's sheer velocity with timing and judgement, using the jab to channel and control Jessi's pace. Garner's offence basically left handed - it's the jab, the hook, and short, jagged left uppercuts when Biel's close. Jessica's freer with her hands, really going to the Garner midsection with zest, and also crowding effectively: when Jen closes the guard uptop, Jess can edge in with her left shoulder/forearm, right palm to push Garner into ropes. Puts Jen at a disadvantage - if she tries to punch out of it, she's in a bad position; if she just stands there, it looks like Biel is bullying her and bodying up like the big girl.

R6: Lead ping-ponging back and forth - girls engaging, disengaging, trying to change things up and get in one another's heads. Both leaning in with heads and looking to tie up - just to regain initiative or walk the other around, or change up the tempo. Loudest punches are Biel's strapping hooks to Jen's body: Jessica really twisting her torso violently with the shots, drag-snapping her arm to snatch as Jen's stubborn belly meat. Most prevalent, maybe most effective punch is Jennifer's jab - heavy, accurate punching to Biel's face, lumping the Sexiest Woman Alive up nicely through 6.

R7: Same stuff - impression is that Garner is commanding the ring, controlling if not dominating her girl with the jab and blocking a lot of Biel's receipts. Jessica more mobile, flashier - she frequently wows the crowd when she commits and rips - but it's mostly spot-work: boxing afficianados will recognize some frustration creeping in to Biel's game as Jen's no-frills defence pretty effective. Some tousle-grinding and pushing as the girls lay-in a little more: Garner looking to put a body on Biel and wear her down a little; Jess looking to get inside and out-hustle Jen.

R8: Early Biel rushes repelled - Jennifer punishing and rebuking Jess with that crunching jab, breaking her down. Second minute, Garner puts the right hand behind the poke, chin-checking Biel terribly: as Jessi's thinking about going down, Garner guts her once, twice, thrice via the hook, sending Biel groaning to all fours. Jessi panting, trying to rally: Jen strutting past, glaring down en route to neutral corner. Biel takes 8, sucks in a deep breath with shoulders up, then really responds like a champ. Garner forced to cover up earmuff and retreat as Jessica slashes a series of vicious hook/right hand combinations to refuse Jen's finishing run. Biel baring her teeth, circling and snarling - nice recovery off the canvas proves she's got plenty left after 8.

R9: Biel relentlessly attacking - using her crowding move to push Jen to ropes and pin her down, then stepping out to renegotiate terms midring. Garner poised, calm behind her guard - she's outworked early, but still blocking the majority of shots, and she's patiently whittling down the ring as frustration builds in her foe's heart. Down the stretch, sharp Garner one-two startles Biel, forces her to cover up: Jenny G steps in a jagged, short left uppercut, splitting Jessi's mitts and sending her wobbly butt to ropes. Biel dismayed, eyes moist - she was WINNING that round and now she's all hurt and ropebound. Garner mops up big-girl, stepping to Jessica and beating her flanks as Biel sits in the ropes and sulks in earmuff.

R10: Biel rolls to her right, getting her left shoulder under Jen's jab, then answering a looping overhand right to Garner's jaw to put JG wobbly butt seconds in. Gorgeous, ripping body attack beats Jennifer into astonished stupor: Garner forced to ropes, tilting forward mouth agape as she suffers some of the best, most concentrated body work of Biel's entire career. Middle minute, Jessi a little gassed: she crowds in with that shoulder push as Garner covers up - Jen wincing, trying to shake off those torrid body licks. Final minute one of the worst in recent memory for Momma Garner: Jessica lighting her up with limber, lashing wallop from either hand - big slashing blows curled from the hips, shredding Jen's heretofore disciplined defences. Jennifer out on her feet, sliding along the ropes in a fog - Biel pinning her ears back and just GOING at her nemesis - thrilling stuff as crowd roars to it's feet, urging Jessi on. Biel just putting crop to haunch, whipping her mount to the finish line: awe-inspiring heart from Jen Garner as she guts it out, curvy legs somehow propping her up as she eats a series of crunching right uppercuts from Jessi at the bell. Ref steps in as Biel chests up and bellows in Jennifer's staring, uncomprehending face. Garner getting salts and TLC on her stool as the verdict comes back UD10...JENNIFER GARNER!

After: Biel filled with puffy-eyed, scuffed-up outrage - yes she was poked and prodded, hurt on occasion and managed by her foe - but she just can't see the verdict. "Look at HER!" Biel screeches on camera, pointing petulantly into Garner's corner where Jennifer's receiving a penlight pupil-exam. "She can't even stand! I beat her to death to the body tonight - did the judges even count body shots? I can't believe this. I'm Jessica-Freaking-Biel and I can't get a decision over this has-been? It's a TOTAL conspiracy! I'm too sexy for the FCBA and this is how they're getting back at me!" On and on - Biel understandably disappointed, but murky ending aside - Jen's efficiency more than answered for Jessica's sizzle through much of the night.
