BEFORE: In 2001, Mariah Carey dealt Rebecca Romijn three consecutive, crushing losses - rendering the blonde temporarily hors de combat while making triumphant Carey the toast of the big-woman class. 2009: Mariah's a BBW for sure, but coming in at the heaviest of her career against a rejuvenated, motivated Becky looking for a career surge. "I've chipped away at those 3 losses," Rebecca grins in prefight. "I've gotten 2 of them back: now I'm going to pull even and hopefully deal chubby a blow she'll never recover from. This one's for my fans: I don't need Mariah, but I'm happy to give her to them. Happy Thanksgiving!" Carey refusing to discuss her weight other that to say she feels 'strong': she remains confident that Becky will never pull even in their rivalry. "She fears my power," Mariah shrugs. "Everyone does, but in Becky's case, it keeps her up nights. She's never been hurt before or since like the way I hurt her: that sticks with a girl. I'm gonna blow her doors off again, and just like those other times, I'm gonna vault back into the title picture as a result!" Becky in black cotton sport bra/sturdy panties; black gloves; golden curls in workmanlike up-twist, ringlets framing face. Mariah pudgy in brown full coverage, hipster-fit bottoms; brown thin-strap sports bra STRAINING to hold her in; frosted locks in braid with wispy strands framing face; black gloves.

During R1: Becky on Mariah with left jabs - sticking into tummy; poking at face. Mariah pouting - right at her cheek, left at her hip, flat-footed stance, trying to time Becky for a hook. Romijn reads well - moves to her left away from the hook, keeps the jab on Carey with flat spanking impacts. Midway through, Carey jiggles forward, hurling a right at Becky's head: Romijn steps inside it, allowing Mariah's punch to wrap harmlessly around blonde shoulders as Becky tucks a right hand snug to paunch. Becky in close, twists torso-right to steer left hook across Mariah's bulging twins: shoving right catches Mariah's chin as she's backpedalling, knocking her into ropes. Mariah sullen, breathing hard, dukes at shoulders: Romijn steps-to, tightening up stroke to chug lefts and rights into soft Mariah gut, cramping Carey up a-groaning. Mariah clinches; ref breaks: Becky circles back to midring, luring Mariah forward. Romijn playing it safe - measuring Mariah with extended left hand, then driving in PLOWING right hands down into jiggling guts. Carey grimacing in pain, exhaling through pursed lips...she's well and truly gut-punched by the bell.

R2: Becky flat-footed, but steppin' left: big woman gun platform stuff as she shells Mariah via spanking left jabs. Carey's tits come under heavy fire, then her face: she's flinching, turning, but more or less taking whatever Becky's tossing. Romijn leans in, plowing that straight right hand down into gut: pleasing tremble shakes through Mariah's creamy middle, driving her backward. Romijn greedy, electing to close and bang: big women baring teeth, slopping away crude, bashing rights and lefts at medium distance. Both score, but Mariah's hamhocks prove decisive - clobbering blows frequently punching Romijn out of her stance. Blonde slogging away in kind, trading brawny right hands, but standing right in front of Carey: Mariah simply getting the better of big-woman slugfest. Round ends to sight of Rebecca forced into cringing earmuff: Mariah having her way with blonde ribs via hamhanded lefts and rights at bell.

R3: Becky steppin' and a-jabbin' - spanking away on Mariah's zoftig jugs and still-cute face. Carey grunting, grimacing, turning to her right: zero footwork or footspeed from Mariah as Becky dominates outside at will. Once again Becks moves in to slug: Mariah catches her a clubbing left/right to jaw, punching Romijn off balance. Free-swinging melee all flashing eyes and swinging tits: big girls unloading thick n' sloppy, bashing each other in spanking exchanges. Final minute, Becky comes to her senses, disengages to regroup behind the jab: Mariah grows sullen again, lifting mitts to temples as she inches forward. Becky measuring with the left - leaving it extended - then driving in to PLOW that right hand deep to soft Carey gut. Cry of pain Mariah: she turns away to hug herself, doubling over and TAKING A KNEE! Carey suffering, blubbering: Becky rosey-cheeked, flushed with excitement at the pounding work she's been doing through 3.

R4: Carey slapping, swinging wildly, coming forward all jugs a-jumpin': easy for Becky to read-and-react, legging herself out of harm's way. Mariah stumbling past all tummy-bum-and-tits: she shudders to a stop, changes direction like a super-tanker, all huffing and puffing with effort. Becky circling - still flat footed, but Mariah's lumbering making Romijn look fleet: blonde girl having no trouble out-manoeuvreing her buxom foe. By the minute mark - Becky's pumping jab has Mariah covering up again, vulnerable to Romijn's plowing straight right blasts to the midsection. Carey cringing, crying out, hugging her body while retreating: she can't take the body punishment and both girls know it. Becky finishes up strong on Mariah, squaring up at ropes and punishing her. Carey grumpy, right hand at left shoulder, left across her gut, suffering at Becky slops robust rights and lefts across biceps/jugs/waist to bell.

R5: Same again: Mariah out of gas - brawling wildly in spots, but Becky always able to leg out of danger. Romijn retaining initiative with her jab: she's lumping Mariah's face up; touching Mariah stiff to jugs and tummy - really wearing the big girl out. Shafting long right hands to Mariah's midsection the real workhorse in this fight: Becky just plowing righty, punching the fight right out of Carey. Mariah wilting to ropes, wheezing through pursed lips: job of work for Becky to square up, pound away methodical rights and lefts to arms/jugs. Becky jabbing at Mariah's mouth to reset at times here: blonde girl knocking back her foe's face, then getting back to work on that curvy chassis.

R6: Mariah sullen, bruised...she's creep-stepping along the perimeter, stalked and harassed by dominant 'Becca. Romijn shadowing her foe - slamming out heavy left jabs to left shoulder/flank - just breaking Mariah down. Becky leaning in as it suits her - plowing that right down into gut when it's there; pouring the odd right hand in over Mariah's left shoulder to knock her into ropes. Carey blinking back tears - often just standing at the ropes with arms crossed, suffering Rebecca's touch up and down her torso. Becky well within herself - getting her balance together, punching strongly, never wildly: just a heavy sheet of shellack being applied to poor Mariah. During the break, Carey's had enough. Diva sputtering, cursing her trainer as she stands, tugs her gloves off...she's quitting! TKO6 Becky Romijn as outclassed and exhausted Mariah has a hissy fit in her corner.

AFter: Wild: cameras lingering on Mariah's meltdown as Carey's alternately crying or screaming at subordinates. Becky enjoying the show from across the ring, laughing and mocking Mariah's distress as blonde pulls even in the series. "She still hits hard," Becky admits in postfight, "but she's fat and out of shape. Mariah Carey can't be a serious player if she's only got the legs to go three rounds. Onwards and upwards for me. I've got one woman in my sights, and her initials are Charlize Theron. Can't wait to make her quit, too!"
