Before: Debbe Dunning on Beyonce’s puncher’s chance: “You know, you get I with Cat bell and you think, ‘She’s not stronger than me—she’s not faster than me—so why am I losing?’ It’s technique. Catherine is the most technically sound fighter in the FCBA and that’s including Charlize, that’s including Garner, but fighters like me and Beyonce are actually in a great position to beat her. We don’t try to win minutes—we’re not going to try and match wits with her. Beyonce’s going to punch as hard as she can, as long as she can and if she connects? She’s going to hurt Cat and cat bell is not as tough as she likes to think—you tap her on the chin and she WILL go. My own concern is Beyonce’s conditioning. She’ll come out like a house on fire, but Bell will be working her body, draining the power and Beyonce’s GOT to hurt her while the hurting’s good. Me—I’d still be dangerous late, but if Knowles can’t do some serious damage over the first half, Cat could eat her up down the stretch,” Cat Bell in white FHM bikini and long hair, Beyonce in gold bikini, slick low blonde ponytail.

During R1: Strong early rush from Beyonce has cat backing up—Knowles welting wide punches to the ribs and grazing the chin. Bell imposes a little order with her jab, keeping the fight in the center of the ring, stepping to the left to turn the bullish blonde. Tactical first to Cat.

R2: Bell strong to midring, early with the jab—key weapon against Knowles keeps her off balance, pre-empts her, confuses her. End of min.1, Bell drops a choice right cross off the jab, checking Beyonce’s chin—Knowles floundering on the spot for a moment and Bell immediately goes body with beefy intentions. Bell thumping away to thick of Knowles’ paunch backing the sexy singer to the ropes—B with the fight’s first woozy clinch for a break. Cat walks to midring, starts it all over with the jab, patiently circling, touching B head and body—Knowles wings a right hand over top the stick—Cat fades back, counters with a cuffing hook to the temple and Beyonce’s in trouble AGAIN! Bell back to the body with Knowles wounded, covered up—B just stooped over, gloves at her temples—Cat leaning in, arming pumping back and forth as she tears up the tummy on a hurting Knowles.

R3: Cat so veteran, so cool—she’s jabbing up top to get control, stepping around to make Beyonce move her feet, then she’s jabbing tummy to draw a right hand from the blonde. Knowles obliging, wings the right—Cat anticipating, bounces back from it, immediately clipping the temple a saucy, loose-limbed hook, sending Beyonce stumbling to her left. Bell with an up beat, methodical attack, working behind her jab, lumping up Beyonce’s beautiful face through 3.

R4: Cat systematically braking Beyonce down—jabbing her relentlessly, stepping deliberately, but never standing in one place too long. Midway through, cat gets rhat crashing right cross off a screening jab again, lifting Beyonce’s front leg off the canvas—Knowles stunned: Cats cute to go to the body. When Knowlesy’s hurt, she just stands there, gloves at her temples—Bell able to lean in on her front foot, beat the ribcage and breadbasket with unholy rights and lefts, then step back out behind a covering jab. All Cat bell through 4—Knowles taking Cat’s best shots and surviving, but veteran brunette piling up an impressive lead on all cards.

R5: Shutout cat Bell. Cat just diligently working b over from the outsider, pounding away jabs to the upper chest and face, tapping jabs to the body to see if she can coax a right from Knowles, looking for the slashing right cross, Cat smart—she’s always looking to set Beyonce up for a damaging powershot upstairs—then and only then will she risk closing and going to her foe’s curvy midsection. Knowles eyes still alert, mouth fixed in a snarl—she’s coming forward, but can’t clear her holsters as Cat has her completely outclassed through 5.

R6: More Cat. Heartless jab lumping Beyonce up around her eyes—Knowles taking more and more off her face as her gloves droop a bit, spirits begin to nag. Bell rotating left, massaging her girl into defeat with the constant, sharpshooting attack. Down the stretch, Cat feather-dusting belly with the jab, setting Knowles up—B lunges with a hook, missing but surprising Cat, getting her reeling awkwardly and KNOWLES CASHES IN! B over with the walloping right hand on the cheek—popping flush shot and CAT GOES DOWN! Bell ragdolled parallel to the ropes, on her back, gloves at her forehead as she tries to deal with the pain. It’s OVER—WAIT! Bell beats the count, swaying dazed on trembling stems—bell sounds—Beyonce stamping her foot and shaking her head in disappointment—Cat survives the 6^th!

R7: Beyonce buoyed—sight of Cat on  the canvas has pumped life into Knowlesy’s legs. B swinging hard to the head, getting bell backing up—blonde able to stampede brunette to the ropes and really shovel on some punishment. Cat upright, wary, hands around Beyonce’s ears—brunette just controlling her girl in tight, looking to smother anything up top. That’s ok with Beyonce—she POUNDS away t exposed ribs, creamy hips and taut waistline, occasionally trying to loop around Cat’s extended arms up top, Bell grunting, absorbing a tremendous bombardment to her body, but she’s poised, limiting Beyonce opportunities and getting away with veteran holding on the inside.

R8,9: Classic Cat bell late rounds—Knowles has taken a tremendous punch to this point—Bell doesn’t even try to hurt her—just stepping around the jab, using the ring. When Cat throws hard, it’s always a quick jab to the forehead, step-in right hand thick on the paunch, hook on the paunch, bob and jab out. Knowles puffing through her mouth, swelling up around the eyes, visibly slowing down—Bell’s tightening the noose through 9.

R10: Anyone who thought cat Bell wouldn’t try to close the show doesn’t know this girl. Beyonce able to mount a couple of early slugging rushes—Bell gobbling up the charges with her legs, turning at the ropes, regains control with her jab and midway through—she lights Beyonce up HUGE the fishhook left hook off a jarring right hand! Knowles stepping in fence post holes, badly shook and FINALLY SITTING DOWN IN A FOG! Cat bell chest heaving in the neutral corner as a shellshocked Knowles takes 8, willing herself to go on. Bell bodies Beyonce into the ropes, then squares away to deliver, blonde crossing her arms plaintively, staring into punishment—Bell just strapping in shellack, letting her hands go, really pouring it on to get Knowlesy out of there. This goes on, and on, and on. Ringsiders screaming for it to be stopped—Beyonce busted up, sliding to her right along the ropes—Cat stepping with and slamming away her hardest rights and lefts, shifting weight fro one foot to the other as she pulls home the haymakers. Bell sounds—Knowles beaten unrecognizable—Cat pulls back to stare in awe for a moment, then hugs her foe in congratulations—it’s UD10 wide Cat Bell.

After: Knowles looking that one clean shot, got it, but just couldn’t punch Bell’s ticket—Cat orchestrating a splendid boxing/body work masterpiece. 6 shutout rounds maybe an FCBA record. Knowles 17 minutes into the fight before mounting her second successful offense of any kind—this was complete tactical dominance from a classy brunette. After the 7^th, Cat’s merciless body work had taken its toll, rendering Knowles a caramel coloured husk there to be beaten—only Beyonce’s fighting heart refused to allow the knockout as Knowsley straggles to the finish line. “When you’re fighting a puncher, you want to limit her opportunities,” breezes Cat in post fight. “Obviously, we had great success doing that. Beyonce was very tough, she was very dangerous even late in the fight, but I just wasn’t letting her get set and get any looks at my chin. She reallywasn;t able to get off tonight, thank goodness!”
