BEFORE: Sarah Carter banned from all prefight sessions as per Meester's negotiated demand: Leighton and Hayden determined to have a civilized contest. "Everybody has a ton of respect for Hayden," Leighton allows, "but she's very beatable for an elite fighter. Seeing her now, I had forgotten how little she is - truly a tiny fighter. I WILL find ways to hurt her, and I will come away victorious!" Hayden keeping her cool in rebuttal. "Leighton's fought her way out of the pack to distinguish herself at flyweight," Panettiere admits. "She fought Sarah tough, and we've seen enough to know that Leighton Meester is no cupcake, but she's forgetting one thing: I lost - badly - last time out - to a girl I should have dominated. Someone has to suffer for that, and sadly for Leighton, it's going to be her." Panny in bikini with horizontal bars of alternating shades of hot pink; small white gloves; hair in tidy battle bun. Leighton in green lace push up; bright orange bikini bottoms; small black gloves.

During R1: Leighton fits Hayden for monster hook early: Meester weight on front (left) leg - arching her back into it - left elbow close to her body as she jams mitt to chin...Hayden sent skittering backward to ropes, hitting ragged - sturdy legs hold her up as Meester pours on in. Cue beat down - Meester on Panettiere: Leighton punishing Hayden along all four ropes. Leighton taking care to punish Hayden's jugs via withering hup-hup; Leighton jerking in hooks to waist; Leighton lathering her foe's flanks - carving at ribcage via palm-down ferocity in behind Hayden's arms. Scouring stuff - Hayden proving her stubborness by never taking a knee, but she's beaten pillar to post by an energetic Leighton. Crowd roar at bell brightens Meester's features: she's flushed with success, sending Hayden hurting and bewildered to her stool.

R2: Hayden shakes it off, gets down to business. Jitterbugging footwork scoots her in and out on Leighton: Meester retreating behind raised guard, clearly spooked by Hayd's hurtling velocity. Hayden deploying power: wide, sidearm right hands bouncing off ribs; gatling-gun straight lefts and rights pounding at Leighton's prepared defences up top, startling her. Meester's receipts tepid and late: Hayden bouncing and buzzing around, issues return-of-serve shutout through 2.

R3: Meester trying to box, scowling as she tries to find Hayd with jabs. Panny's scooting, jitterbugging footwork and bobbing head movement confounding Leighton...Hayden continuing to land swinging right hand leads to tender brunette ribs - really working over that left hip area. Hayden deploying stubby-jabs to good effect: pounding at Leighton's bra; jackhammering her tummy; splitting mitts to knock back face. All Hayden until Leighton walks her into that biting hook again, late: Panettiere sent sputtering on her heels to ropes...opportunistic follow up flurry lathers her for points as Leighton steals the round!

R4: Meester sticks with the jab until it starts finding Hayden's hairline. Right hands follow in chopping little arcs; slapping hooks thereafter skid off Hayden's right temple. Leighton moving her hands, getting off and getting out: Meester starting to use her own legs to baffle Hayden's footwork. Panny unhurt, but touched up and pre-empted: she's thoughtful en route to her stool for the break.

R5: Hayden so quick with her hands and feet: she dips and darts in and out - tattooing Leighton combinations head and body...Meester scowling as punches bounce off her head and shoulders tic-tac-toe. Midway through, Hayden darting in with the sidearm right wide to the ribcage: Leighton cries out, cringing forward behind her mitts. Hayd's eyes light up: she bounces another right off the same spot; scrapes the left uppercut off the top of Leighton's scalp, then quickly doubles the left hook down sweet to liver. LEIGHTON GOES DOWN! Gut shot little beauty drops to all fours gurgling: Sarah Carter up out of her seat at ringside, shouting: "KICK HER IN THE RIBS, HAYD!" Weeping 8, Leighton: nobody blinks away tears prettier than Meester. Hayden upon her with vengeance - pressing the attack now rather than bopping in and out. Panny pushing in - stocky legs stamping for traction - shoulders/extended elbows levering Leighton upright to expose her torso/waist to punishment. Brutal, chugging shove-and-slug shows Hayden at her best - just stacking and processing a ragdoll brunette through 5.

R6: Leighton hurt, wincing, but rallying...using her legs to buy herself recovery time. Hayden scooting to cut off the ring - she's in and out on Leighton, bouncing heavy single shot rights or lefts off either flank - patiently breaking Meester down to the body. Leighton grimacing, but holding it together - she'll step out, retreat behind her jab, change directions...anything to take the edge off Hayden's relentless pursuit.

R7: Hayden up-tempos: Leighton wilts. Meester grim faced - fighting off the ropes: Panny constantly throwing to the body - bouncing either hand loud off ribs/tummy. Leighton growing sluggish - legs stiffening: she's in tight peek-a-boo, trying to clip Hayden uppercuts, but bringing mitts back quick to defend. Right hand after right hand from Hayden hammers at Leighton's unprotected left flank: Meester gritting her teeth, suffering these shots while protecting her head. No one punch does it, but down the stretch, Leighton slowly sinks to canvas, panting on all fours from sheer attrition. Hayden breathing hard, hands on hips: hair's coming out of the bun, framing her face in blonde strands. Ringside, Sarah Carter shrieks: "KICK AT HER!"

R8: Leighton rallies, hooking off her jab, pivoting round her hooks. Hayden pin-pricked, fended off: she's getting nibbled while trying to find a finishing position with her feet. Meester doing it with smart left hands for the most part - but startling Hayd with well chosen right hand choppers flat to face: Meester wins the round, stabilizes her front as Hayden can't pile on.

R9: Hayden jabs Leighton to ropes, places her under siege. Meester gritty - she stoops forward butt-on-ropes, hands at temples, looking to swap shots. Hayd: banging out straight-arm lefts and rights to waist/flanks; curling up underneath with fishook left/rights to Leighton's breadbasket/tits. Leighton: chipping away tight-clipping uppercuts, picking Hayden up on her chin/in her tits. Dig and bump, dig and bump - girls in there panting, working hard as small mitts bite and bounce. Hayden's bun continues to unravel, framing her face in sweaty blonde brackets: Leighton fighting grimly, but unable to punch her way off ropes. Down the stretch, exhausted Meester once again slow-wilts to canvas, sobbing and shuddering on all fours. Hayden mouth breathing, face swelling, hands on hips as she walks away.

R10: Leighton gathers herself, rallying once again off the canvas: it's a gutty performance for outgunned little brunette. Hayden's pursuit slowing: Leighton's first with the jab, then sidestepping Hayden, opening blonde up for stitching combinations. Panettiere blocking, turning - not getting off as consistently, but still applying constant pressure with her feet. Meester doing a nice job touching Hayden, keeping her at arm's length: Leighton chisels out a nicely crafted 10th, but downcast expression tells the story at the bell. UD10 Hayden Panettiere.

After: Hayden searching Leighton out to congratulate her - former champ awfully impressed by Meester's resolve tonight. "She's not just a New York debutante in there," Hayden quips in postfight. "WAY tuffer than I thought she'd be - and very skilled: I can see how she was able to outfight Brittany Snow. HISC fighters are what I like to call 'two knockdown girls' - meaning they quit after 2 knockdowns, but Leighton was still competing hard after every setback. I'm still not sold on her attitude sometimes, but I'm totally sold on her game: Leighton Meester can fight!"
