Before: Peculiar throw back to the jet-set era, small crowd of chic Euro-elites in attendance - girls brought in by yacht to an undisclosed mediterranean resort island. Fought outdoors high noon, Anna in black bikini top, black velvet boy cut bottoms, long blonde hair down, Casta in red bra style bikini, wooden hoops between cups and at the hips.

During R1: Sultry look as the girls stalk flat footed around each other, hands low, faces pouty and expressionless. Anna leans in to sweep a right hand to the body - Laetitia turns to take it on her hip, then lashes back a rising right across Anna's sleek stomach. Back and forth like this, girls lavishing each other with single shot strokes, just taking turns. Strange slogging pace, no defence - both girls trembling at the bell from taking almost everything thrown by the other.

R2: Supple slugging continues. Laetitia will lick a right hand up across Anna's stomach - Anna will clap a right hand across Laetitia's face, Casta will slap Anna's face - girls getting leather stupid but neither does anything to change the pace of mutual destruction. Round ends with both women pulling sling mitted left hands square to one another's tits - hurting pouts and meanspirited glares at the bell.

R3: More stalking, circling, posing, pouting. When they punch, it's lavish, inefficient whalloping - girls getting their faces and bodies spanked by loose limbed, slinging blows. As they start to stagger, girls touch each other's arms and shoulders, positioning each other for the next hurt. Casta the first to put punches together, licking a left across Anna's breasts, then clouting Anna's mouth with a sloppy right. Kournakova staring blankly as she sways at the bell.

R4: This whole 2 punch idea appeals to Casta as she starts to back Anna up under ponderous, but heavy right/lefts. Anna with her hands down, face clapped to one side, then the next - she falters back, then drives into Laetitia's belly with a thumping right hand - both girls fall in to one another's arms, numbly waltzing each other around when they aren't punching.

R5: Laetitia palms Anna's shoulder and clouts her lips a right hand. Kournakova reels in a blur of blonde hair, then pulls her right hand into Casta's breasts - it's mindless. Back and forth, legs are starting to buckle, faces are polished and sore, bodies are pinking up under the hot sun and the stupid give and take just goes on and on. Anna stops punching down the stretch as Casta's right hands across the face have the blonde swooning.

R6: Kournakova's starting to miss - Laetitia gathering the blonde up as she falls in then walking her back - model starting to muscle the supposedly stronger tennis/music video phenom. When they're not pressing each other into the ropes, they're standing in front of each other taking turns stroking it up. Casta consistently getting the better of it - Anna's hurting, walking away, giving up.

R7,8,9: Laetitia Casta walking Anna down now, palming and pushing the blonde, punishing her with the same sweatlogged punching that has characterized the whole bout. Anna's tits are repeatedly whalloped, Casta turning her shoulders into these juicy melon shots and breathing in the blonde's despair. Anna riding her arms on Laetitia, not even clinching - brunette's having no trouble fighting through the limbs. Anna often sits hurt in the ropes, leaning on Laetitia as Casta curls punches to the blonde's belly - Anna with eyes closed, mouth parted, just hanging on lightly outside the brunette's pumping arms. After nine - Kournakova's youthful face is bruised and punished - eyes glassy and Casta has absolutely plundered that golden torso with slathering punches. Kournakova quits on her stool unable to come out for the tenth - surreal UD10 Laetitia Casta.

After: Listless brawl plays completely to Casta's strengths - Kournakova showing none of the athleticism or creativity she had in dispatching the likes of Kiana Tom over a year ago. Casta takes the upset in stride, making up for the lost opportunity against Theron with this hamfisted beating of a beautiful blonde proxy.
