Before: Daisy coming in curvy, making welterweight easy after toiling mostly as a lightweight on the Miami circuit over the lasts couple years - Fuentes insists she's fit and ready for FCBA comp. Tyra ready to expose that notion - Banks with maybe the best right hand in the division anxious to test Daisy's chin after the long lay off.

Daisy in lemon yellow bikini - Tyra in black Victoria's secret push up, leopard print trunks. Banks carried to the ring on the back of some poor blonde forced to wear the VS Body Saddle - Tyra regal, smug, perched on another girl's back.

During R1: Contrast in styles: Tyra loping footwork, leaning in over her front foot with majestic long right hands; Daisy bringing her feet with her, getting closer before releasing on shorter punches. Tyra's jab a nasty scolding poke when she uses it: snap off the hip. Daisy's jab more conventional, pounded out from the shoulder, right hand at her cheek as she looks to weave in, hook or drop the cross off the stick. Fuentes getting an especially evil body shot on Tyra - just a short hatchet-chop right hand above the left hip - debilitating late as Banks grimaces, backs away momentarily discouraged. Daisy with a frothy swinging hook bats Tyra's face aside, chases it with a go-home right cross and BANKS HITS THE ROPES HURT! Tyra blinking, stunned, saved by the bell - Fuentes glaring, nostrils flaring as she drinks in Tyra's shabbiness.

R2: Daisy systematically taking it to Tyra - not much rust for Fuentes early as she's the tighter, more disciplined, more effective vixen. Daisy stalking Tyra, crouching, moving her head well - Banks can't get her jab on Fuentes, won't release her right hand as a result. Daisy chopping and hooking at Tyra's waist, forcing some shaky Banks clinches this round - Tyra in grudging retreat, puzzled, looking for answers.

R3: Consistent, professional Daisy - she's hounding Tyra. Fuentes locating T with a pesky jab in the chest, coming over the top right hands, then she's in close, able to outwork Banks toe-to-toe. Tyra doesn't shy away from hot-licking trade, but her bandy-armed uppercuts, swiping hooks and looping right hands are slower, less effective with Daisy crowding. Fuentes chopping away to ribcage, jaw and jug, bumping Banks back with ruff shoulders, forcing her to ropes. Final minute a solid Latina beatdown - Banks face-in-gloves sullenly rolling, sponging it to the body, twitching and cringing as Fuentes has her way to the bell. Three straight Daisy: Banks in a b###hy funk, turns on her corner, ragging on her trainer even as he's trying to ice down her eye.

R4: Tyra finds a lead right, drilling Fuentes coming in, then smartening her up a licking, rising left hook. Daisy wobbly butt for the first time tonight, crouches hurt behind her guard, soaks up the best body shot of the night by Tyra as Banks leans in, cranks hook to flank. Banks in a loping, potshotting rhythm, able to ramble right on widespread legs, find Daisy with a pawing or looping jab, then lean into right hands with plenty of supermodel behind them. Fuentes hurt early but shaking it off - she's defensive rest of the way, respecting the power, dipping down to slip the right hands but not answering as she gifts Tyra the shutout.

R5: Hotly contested opening moments: Tyra bouncing a right hand off Daisy's chin; Fuentes ripping a hook to Tyra's waist, then doubling to get the left uppercut clean on chin; Tyra with a scorching right uppercut, dropping her left to her side as she commits to the punch; Fuentes crowding in close, packing a slutty right to the sternum, then hacking it down on Tyra's left hip. Withering back and forth visibly slows both women, but down the stretch: Tyra steps straight back, hands down and eats a drilling right/left off her mouth. TYRA GOES DOWN! Fuentes grinning, 'stumbles' forward to trample-stomp her fallen foe - Banks immediately screeching at the ref to protect her.

R6: Tyra's legs shabby - she's flat footed, rooted to spots - Daisy's body work starting to take numbing effect. Fuentes able to jab, weave her way to Banks' chest, then dominate on the inside. Tyra's back to ropes, dukes up at her cheeks or around Daisy's ears, offering only desultory supple uppercuts or swiping hooks off the ropes. Fuentes tidying up, keeping a steady, stroking hook on Tyra's chest and right bicep, or tucking it behind the elbow. Fuentes short and hard with the right: chopping it atop hip, clip-swiping it to chin, picking Tyra up the uppercut. Tyra belted and worked over - mouth open in groggy stupor as she soaks it up - she's tender, wobbly butt and glassy-eyed at the end as Fuentes pounds out good minutes.

R7: The single-shot power of Tyra Banks. Fuentes overconfident, misreading Tyra's slouching posture and hang-dog expression - Tyra sliding away to her right, slaps Daisy a meek don't-hurt-me jab, then turns on a buxom right hand between the eyes, pounding the short shot home with vigour. Fuentes tottering back on her heels, blinking, then DROPPING TO A SEAT! Daisy blasted into stupor with one shot - Banks bellowing down and taunting as ref struggles to body her off. Daisy shakes off the KO but she's swaying hurt at the ropes: ON COMES TYRA! Banks snarling, lips curled back in her trademark snarl, she gets after Daisy with rangy, lanky-limbed goodness in a dreadful, sweeping flurry of lefts and rights. Tyra planted, pulling her right hand onto Daisy in looping arcs, remembering to lick the hook downstairs, then straightening Fuentes up with a shoulder - good beefy big girl beatdown as Banks strokes it up. Bell: Fuentes dreamy, staring - Banks shouting incoherently at her, once again forcing the ref's hand.

R8: Daisy showing Latina grit - she soaks up Tyra's best shots last round, comes grimly forward and gets it all back in the 8th. Fuentes body shots visibly crippling Tyra, bunching her up hurt behind her gloves - D just edging in close and ripping tidy rights and lefts to ribs, waist. Daisy's been clouting Tyra's knockers selectively all night: now she goes there with gusto, banging that bra to break Banks' spirit. Tyra driven headlong to ropes and punished there - Daisy plying her lanky-limbed foe hooks and crosses, touching the body to set up the head. Tyra rattled and shook all round long - long legs threatening to betray her, but they don't: Tyra suffers, but refuses to go down as hungry Daisy is pushed back by the ref at the bell.

R9: Daisy crunching her way into Tyra's midsection: sickening to watch. Poor Tyra sobbing in agony - she just can't take those gut touches anymore - she turns, wilts sideways into ropes, eyes pleading, crying freely now. Fuentes storms in, pulling overhand rights onto Tyra's ear, hooking her amidships then picking her up left uppercuts - Banks in trouble as she's brushed upright against the ropes. Torrid, cudgelling beat down issued: Fuentes letting her hands go - Banks breaking down, torso lolling forward. End comes as Fuentes is able to rip hook after hook up into Tyra's drooping body - Daisy able to set down and punch uncontested. Banks spills to her face and knees, buttocks in the air as she sprawls - KO9 in brutal fashion, Daisy Fuentes.

After: Daisy shakes the rust in grand style - survives a couple of scary moments to dominate a dangerous big-girl icon in Banks. Blubbering Tyra forced to stand still, bracing herself with a hand on the ropes as Daisy fixes Tyra's own Victoria's Secret Body Saddle to Bank's back: Fuentes taking her time cinching up the belly strap, checking the harness, tucking, tweaking, and tightening here and there before finally mounting. Saddle conformed so Daisy can sit with her knees resting above Tyra's hips jockey-style (feet tucking up under Daisy's backside rather than hanging out front): better control of the mount afforded by kneeling in a girl's back. Banks straining into the shoulder straps, trudging forward under Daisy's crowd-pleasing girth: cover of 'Supermodel Fighter' shows the scene with the caption "RIDDEN!" in bold red letters.
