Before: Intriguing match up--Banks one of the few supermodels to harness the potential of her lanky anatomy, can wallop with Deb, but can’t possible take it from the Leggy One. Debra really looking to separate herself from the wrestling side show--Banks is the big tine for any opponent. Tyra in black push up, leopard print bikini bottoms, Debra in battleship grey bikini.

During R1:  Debra eager to put mitt on chin, but Tyra coolly laying down the long jab, stepping to the side to blunt McMichael’s straight ahead charges. Deb shut out as she rushes repeatedly into the left hand--Banks keeping her distance, pumping out lefts--teeth clenched, lower lip protruding in that famous bitchy pout as she punches.

R2: Tyra keeps it up, legging around Debra’s left side away from that crushing right hand. McMichael landing with glancing blows, still having trouble with lateral adjustment, and the pesky jab.

R3: Tyra getting complacent, lazy with the dominant jab, finally gets caught a good right hand on the jaw, and those long legs go instantly flunky. Banks with a great job of octopus sing her way out of trouble with flagrant holding as Deb whines to the ref. Down the stretch, Banks able to regain form, circle keep her left hand in Debra’s face.

R4: Debra getting wild, a little desperate, but no more effective as Banks picks her up with the jab coming in, stops the blonde’s advance, then backs her off with the looping Buster Douglas right uppercut. Den getting flustered, hands at her chin, looking tentative for the first time in the bout as her headlong rushes have proved futile to this point.

R5: Debra muscling her way inside, finally gets in close, using her superior leg strength to walk Tyra to the ropes. Banks careful to clinch and pull Debra’s head down, but can’t prevent the blonde from banging hard right hands to her ribcage. Tyra grimacing at the bell as Deb finally gets on board.

R6: Banks a little reluctant this round, runs more than boxes early, but Deb equally ineffective in cutting off the ring. Latter half of the round sees both girls land tepid long distance potshots--neither committing as each takes a breather.

R7: Shutout Tyra Banks as she re-establishes that punishing jab, and Debra’s face begins to look shopworn, McMichael plodding now, not moving her head, hands dropping a little, getting punchy from the constant smack of Tyra’s left hand, Banks mixing in the right hand, whipping it hard against Deb’s jaw line this round to pound out the points.

R8: Debra showing a little effective aggression, walks through the jab, bodies up and muscles Tyra into corners. Banks ineffective with Deb fighting off her chest--Blonde has her way with thudding lefts and rights to brunette’s hips and ribs.

R9: Tyra with the increasing smooth shutout, now hitting Deb with everything in the arsenal, Blonde still plunging forward, but the uppercut now banging her head back and leaving her helpless for Tyra’s walk-away one-twos, Banks still stepping to her right, feasts on Debra’s swollen eyes with the jab, and in the final minute, a spearing right hand across the lips bashes Debra’s mouthpiece off her teeth.

R10: Debra looks a beaten fighter as she comes out to meet Tyra, but the two engage in spirited give and take at center ring as Banks slugs, waves Deb in for more. Down the stretch, Tyra backhands the jab at Deb, luring her in for a dazzling right uppercut that nearly sits the big blonde down, McMichael’s heart broken, she staggers to the ropes, and gets taken apart as Banks leans in heard right crosses to the bell. Deb woozy, shaken and defeated, coughs up a surprisingly one-sided decision to Champion Tyra Banks.

After: Banks with an impressive clinic on how to box a fighter, used her lanky frame to pitch a near-perfect game. Debra’s only highlight came from a single flush right hand, but  her inability to put punches together, or abuse Tyra with sustained punishment along the ropes resulted in disaster. Banks with one of her best efforts of late, dismisses Debra as a “hobo” after the fight.
