BEFORE: "Sometimes, the best thing to do with these kids with the deep gas tanks is pounce right at 'em and pound 'em outta there ASAP," grins JMac in prefight. "I'm leanin' towards that, but you never know. If the kid's hinky early, using those long legs of hers - maybe I'll just outbox her. The thing is, Missy's never, ever taken anything like a Jenny McCarthy right hand bingo on the chin. I'm very interested to see what happens when she tastes my power for the first time. Very interested indeed."

Missy upbeat: Jenny's the kind of challenge Peregrym had despaired of finding at bantam. "This is going to sound horrible," Missy grins sheepishly at podium, "but I really, really want to punch Jenny helpless. I know! It's awful right? But she's just so yappy and in your face 24/7 - I would just LOVE to see her slumped and defenceless on the ropes - or lying on her back. LOVE!"

Missy in bright blue bra style bikini top; crimson bottoms; white boxing boots with tassles; white gloves. Jenny in scarlet bikini with big ring connection at left hip; black gloves; black boxing boots to midcalf with white cuff.

During R1: Walking barrage, Jenny: strong right hand lead; right foot steps forward; strong left hand - punches pounding off Missy's prepared defences. Missy hits ropes, dukes high: Jenny bangs the body right/left - hooks jug tidy - pushes the left forearm against Missy to stabilize. Hard overhand right clubs Missy's ear: she spins off ropes, backpedalling hard. Jenny in pursuit: she hops in the hard right hand up top, then hooks-to-jug: Missy chased to far ropes as McCarthy piles in. BANGING rights and lefts bounce of Missy tight abs, rigid ribs: Jenny's head lowered, arms a-pumpin'. That's the gist of the first two minutes: stiff-punchin' Jenny hammering Missy pillar to post, going body as Peregrym keeps a rigid high guard in place. Down the stretch, Jenny pounding Missy's tanned body: Peregrym starts chippin' the little uppercuts. Right uppie, left uppie; Missy clipping Jenny, picking her face up, then HOOKING THE TASTE OUT OF HER MOUTH! McCarthy wobbling back on rubbery legs - she's thunderstruck. Missy over to offence - weaving low while flowing forward, carrying the straight right hand into Jenny's belly, then straightening up, hooking Jenny's mouth with palm-down delivery. Mac staring, staggering backward: Missy hopping forward in her stance - deep-weaving to get the right hand, straightening up to get the hook. Jenny beaten across the ring, covers up hurt: Missy digs payback rights and lefts to Mac's firm torso - gloves bouncing off toned muscle at bell. Jenny wobbly butt, but sassy: she bats gloves with Missy, acknowledging Peregrym's blazing come back.

R2: Missy attacks: sweet brunette science at work. Stiff jolting jabs - MIssy's right heel up off canvas for thrust. That low-sweeping torso weave - Missy's head at Jenny's navel-level as Peregrym crams the right hand to tummy...then she's hopping in tall, hooking Jenny's jaw palm-down. Missy's legs taut and springy - moving her in and out as she changes up distance, keeping Jenny on the defensive. McCarthy driven backward, but answering in spots: furious back and forth exchanges see both women clapping away brisk side-to-side swattings, elbows in tight to shorten up stroke. Overall it's Missy: she's dictating terms through 2.

R3: Jenny with the strong-punching walking barrages driving Missy to ropes: Peregrym typically in very high, very rigid guard - girl's got 100% faith in that toned torso to sustain Jenny's punishment. McCarthy HAMMERING said torso: gorgeous right hand bouncing hot off Missy's flank; left hooks ripping at flat tummy. Working up-torso: MAC WANTS RACK! Jenny ferociously at Missy's firm young chest, surging in there with blazing side to side hup-hup - slugging apart Peregrym's guard. Missy pummelled about for two minutes: she slugs back late, trying to catch Jenny with those game-changing uppercuts. Forehead to forehead, body and head: girls tidying up brisk, setting a blistering pace as each pumps for points. Bell: Jenny hooks MIssy's tits; enraged Peregrym slugs Jenny a right to jaw; ref jumps in as Mac's laughing, getting under her foe's skin at last.

R4: Missy punishes Jenny. Clinical execution midring...Peregrym working behind the jab, really putting a stiff poke on Jenny. Mac's hands up, weight on right (back) foot - she's blocking shots, bending forward in earmuff at times: just can't find a penetration point. Peregrym weaving low to tuck the right hand to Jenny's tummy; straightening to hook Mac's mouth; turning over the right hand in tight. Missy hopping back in her stance - springy, long legs laying down a difficult challenge to Jenny's own toned stems. Mac lumping up: Missy's jab starting to poke holes in the guard; combinations breaking down the defences, forcing Mac into scampering retreats. Down the stretch, Missy: tart one-two freezes Jenny's guard; cranking hook bounces off Jenny's liver; little tip-right sets up hesitation right hand straight up the middle, punching Mac's head so she's facing ceiling. Jenny staggering back from the assault, blinking in astonishment as Peregrym lights it up at bell. Kate Beckinsale exultant, callng the fight for Sky TV in Britain: "That's it for Jenny - she's finished. I saw the same look in her eyes when I dismantled her: she's truly discouraged, shutting down. It's a treat to see!"

R5: Jenny woman's up: she's scuffed - nice little mouse forming under left eye, but she's at MIssy with the same walking barrage of sturdy, banging rights and lefts. Missy stepping back in her stance - weaving torso-right, then torso-left, then RIPPING the hook to Jenny's jugs: McCarthy grimacing but holding firm, hooking Missy's tits in reprisal, then trying for chin righty. Blistering toe-to-toe - both women setting and uncoiling on hard, single-shot licks: bashing blows skidding off scalps, slamming into chests and flanks, working through to jaws on occasion. Jenny working MIssy upstairs and down - gentle rotation counterclockwise a natural consequence of the slugging. Bell: McCarthy's stabilized her front, effectively outpunching Missy in a withering fifth.
