Before: “I’ve heard she doesn’t like to the chest, and her tummy’s soft,” Elisabeth chirps in prefight, eyes bright. “Perfect! I know I’m tougher than her, and I don’t think she wants a brawl, so I’m going right at her and make her work. She’s all about pillow fights and sleep-overs, and that’s not going to cut it at the FCBA level.” Lively tossing her luxurious golden curls, flirting with the press - Blake acting like the favourite even though it’s her debut contest.  “For Elisabeth, this is one-off - she’s seeing it as a chance to get a win over a rookie,” Blake explains at the podium. “For me, this is the debut fight of what I intend to be a very serious - and very productive fighting career. I look at Foxfire as my personal set of stepping stones: I’ll punch Harnois to sleep, then I’ll take it to Winstead, and I’ll finish up with the beating of Laura. These three girls are going to be my ticket to credibility - I’ll be stacken’em up lie cord-wood!” Lively in fun green bikini with bronze medallion connections at hip; yellow gloves; unruly blonde curls. Beth in black bikini with tie-sides; white gloves.

During R1: Lively loping around, left at her thigh/right at her tummy. 'Beth more responsible - dukes up at eyebrows, face set in stern scowl, Lively all gangly - leaning in and slopping the right hand onto Beth; twisting to pull a lanky hook across. Beth blocking Blake's early offerings, feeling the heft - stepping out and around, testing Lively's legs. Lively listing the left jab off her hip, pushing it to 'Beth's jugs: not much snap on that poke - Harnois immediately dropping ringing right hands over top Lively's jab to answer. Slightly girlish look to the action - Blake pushing her punches and negligent with her hands; Harnois a little more polished, timing her punches, getting her weight behind right hands and landing several firm shots to Blake;s jaw, taking the first by wide margin.

R2: Blake the aggressor in first minute again - lanky swinging rights; curling, licking hooks; pushy jab - not much of it, Harnois timing the Lively jab, dropping crisp, short right hands over the top, scoring to chin, staggering Lively at will. Second minutes sees Harnois take the initiative from Lively - outpunching Blake and backing her up; 'Beth twisting her jab into Lively's breasts, visibly discouraging tall blonde. Final minute - Harnois bends in, ringing several cracking right hands off Lively's chin. Willowy Blake getting her head pounded to starboard, her hands stacked at her tummy as she takes.  Bell: Blake glassy-eyed, wobbly butt - she's hurt, confused, on the verge of going down as Harnois looks her over with satisfaction.

R3: Blake shaky off her stool—hands still low: she’s lifting her punches off her thighs, slopping ‘em onto ;Beth with bandy-armed wallop, Hard punching, but easy to read: Harnois keeping her dukes up, blocking shots, stepping to her right and looking to clean up right crosses on Lively’s available face, Midway through—Lively pushing that girlish jab: Harnois willingly gives up her breasts in order to lean in and plow a right hand clean to chin. LIVELY’S HURT! Blake punches a quarter-turn to her right—she covers her face with her hands stumbling and stooped over. Harnois snarling, pours in over Lively’s flank, punching right hand after right hand to Blake’s ear/neck and BLUDGEONING BLAKE TO HER KNEES! Lively sniveling, weepy—she’s up, reeling at 8. Harnois colour-high,  stomps in, cleans up, Lively butt in ropes/ face-in-gloves, suffering as Harnois squares away butt-back, back straight, shoving lefts and rights into Blake’s quivering tummy and ribs. Bell: Lively drops her hands, revealing tear-streaked cheeks. Harnois openly grinning—handing out the most one-sided pasting of her career through 3.

R4: Blake tentative, face lumping up nicely - she’s still pushing out the jab, still got the right hand low as her tummy. Harnois stepping to right, dukes up - she’s waiting on Blake's jab, taking the smudging impacts on her breasts, but landing much tuffer right hands to cheek and chin in trade. Blake's head tossing aside - she's facing into shots, getting clocked, hands stacked right atop left her tummy. Lively's willowy, lightweight chassis proving durable as Harnois slams away for more points.

R5: Blake pushing out the jab to Elisabeth's breast, taking hard, joyous right hands to jaw in exchange. Minute mark - Harnois getting the better of things when she wanders onto a rangy Lively right uppercut: both girls surprised at the lanky wallop - Harnois stumbling back a step. Lively encouraged - she steps in, leans forward, slings a right to Harnois' mouth: both girl trade hooks tart and clapping to jaws. Rangy brawling erupts - Lively curling a supple right uppercut and finishing with the hook; Harnois chopping both hands straight onto Lively, pounding Blake's breasts and face. Lots of poorly balanced shots, spruced up by the odd tart clout - both girls rocked at points and Lovely takes her first points in helter-skelter action.

R6: Harnois comes out more patient - dukes up at temples. She leads the jab, doubles it in workmanlike fashion; chops the straight right: chops the straight left, backing Lively up with dutiful face-punching. Blake so available - mouth open, taking punches on her mouth and both eyes - she's  backing up in disarray - blonde curls obscuring her face. Lively unable to punch with any authority backing up - pushing, don't-hurt-me punches only as Harnois walks Lively down for points. Bell: 'Beth pumping her fist, grinning en route to her corner - she's back in control.

R7: Harnois walks onto that rangy Lively right uppercut: Blake encouraged, stepping in to fetch 'Beth an extra right cross as Harnois' stumbling back to regroup. Pushy jab brushes 'Beth's lips, then her chest: Blake leaning in and cleaning up a CRACKING right cross, turning 'Beth to her right and scattering her to the ropes. Harnois hurt, covering up, face-in-gloves, her right hip slumping on ropes: Lively baring her teeth, squaring away and going at Harnois with gusto! Lively's long barms chugging back and forth - punches taking 'Beth in her back and tummy: Harnois crying out, cringing as Blake plows away. 'Beth turns, reaches to clinch: Lively impatient, wriggling in the grasp as ref issues break. Harnois mouth-breathing - shying away to her right along the ropes: Lively leans in, drives a harpooning right down to the Harnois tummy, spanking it loud as 'Beth sobs, slumps into ropes. More lanky romp from Lively: she squares away - hair in her eyes as she lashes her arms back and forth - fists taking 'Beth in her tummy, trunks, and ribs. Ref steps in with a warning, but lets it go after separating the fighters: Lively's just spraying shots, not intentionally fouling Elisabeth. Blake breathing hard - she lifts a jab, punching 'Beth on her left eye, then leaning into a drifting right cross, catching every little bit of 'Beth's chin. Harnois stiffening in a slight crouch, hands in loose frame at her cheeks: Blake slings a right uppercut, neatly smiting Elisabeth's overhanging face. Extra insurance right uppercut misses as Harnois swoons forward and GOES DOWN! Beth sprawling tummy-down, eyes shut in a little KO’d frown and IT'S OVER! KO7 - Blake Lively.

After: Lively glowing - preening about the ring and posing hands-on-hips for photographers as poor Harnois is scraped up and tended to. Blake cruising past the Foxfire corner, blowing kisses to her blubbering adversary, winking at fuming Foxfire fighters who don’t appreciate the Lively Parade. "That’s Beth taken care of - as promised," a scuffed up, but exultant Lively crows in postfight. "Line the rest of them up - I'll knock them all down. Wnstead and Vandervoort will make a nice set, and I'd put Mischa Barton and Hilarie Burton in the class as well. With those girls all under foot, you won't have to wait long to see me in ranked competition, and then, you know - a title shot."
