Thanks to Ginny for this repost.

Heigl camp upbeat, champing at the bit - long-sought after KruZher goal of adding a second big blonde lightweight to throw at Cat Bell appears to have been achieved. "Charlize already has Bell outwomaned," Heigl assures reporters, "but getting me in the mix means we'll be rolling Cat up on all fronts! I've had brilliant scouting reports on her, and I know Bell can't weather this sort of attrition - there's nowhere left for her to go but down!" Cat used to KruZher crosshairs - she's been turning back exquisite blonde comp all year long, looking to add Katherine to the growing list of beaten and disappointed. "I was stronger than Tricia or Molly," Cat explains, referring to her triumphs over highly touted up and comers, "but Heigl's a different breed of Kat. I won't be stronger than her - she's a full-fledged welterweight - I'll have to box her smart, keep her out on the end of my jab. I can't let her get that pudgy body of hers on me - just pushing and straining against that brute will wear me down. I'm looking forward to the physical challenge - I know I'll have to execute to perfection because Katherine Heigl can make you regret the smallest mistake!" Bell in electric blue bikini - Heigl in beige crochet bikini, long blonde curls back in a low ponytail, wavy bangs framing her face.

During R1: Heigl hyper-aggressive - rushing Cat to ropes, spraying her with punches - good swarming stuff but Katherine not getting big-girl leverage on these wild shots. Bell calm, covered up soundly on the ropes - she's rolling, riding it out - finally edging her left shoulder into Kat's chest, pivoting righty 45 degrees and stepping into open canvas. Heigl giving reckless chase - getting her body on Cat and leg driving her hard to ropes - Bell keeping elbows in, chin tucked, just managing the beatdown, not opening herself up to answer just yet. Bell: Katherine glowing, seemingly unaware that Bell's avoided the worst of the storm.

R2,3: Bell takes mid-ring with long strides, keeps it with a popping, disruptive stick. Cat leaning forward, doubling up on rifling jabs - nice bashing impact against Heigl's face has her double-clutching, constantly resetting herself on the outside. Bell pivoting left, front foot in a bucket - she'll drag the front foot whenever she slides backwards: Bell always in position to punch. Cat picking spots for the right hand - just well timed, accurate blows, finding the jaw - Heigl taking them well, but Bell ranging her foe nicely these rounds. Most of the heavy lifting done via the hook downstairs: Bell with the right at her cheek, cranks away with licking, strapping shots, working paunch and ribs, then easing onto the right (back) foot to haul hooks across jug. After three, Heigl's shiny faced from poke, tender-ribbed from body blows: it's classic Cat Bell systematic action.

R4: Heigl storming in, heedless of the consequences - Bell calmly folding the blonde into sloppy clinches, backing into the ropes for ref's breaks. Cat casually, effortlessly restoring order with that sparkling jab - mean-spirited, straight poke making a mockery of Heigl's defense. Kat blinking, glaring after face-spank - she's pawing her own jab, late on her receipts, seems confused. Late the round, Bell working behind the jab bends into a glorious right cross boffo on the jaw: Heigl baby stepping sideways, momentarily wobbly butt - she takes it standing up, but she's knock-kneed at the bell.

R5: Heigl straightening out her jab, trying to work her way to Cat's chest and work on her inside - Bell doing a nice job of clinching in close, boxing outside, keeping her back off the ropes. Heigl landing some brawny right roundhouses to Cat's ribcage with a beefy thudding impact - Bell answering like a pro, working Heigl's body in turn via the hook. Down the stretch, girls starting to work jug as crowd noise rises - sensational late strapping action as buxom beauties plant, start lapping it up with rising lefts and rights to hulking, heaving racks. Tempers flare after brisk spanking trade - ref intervenes to enforce the bell.

R6: Heigl wants more jug, bodies up to rush Cat ropewise in first minute, muscling her way in, shrugging short to rack as Bell struggles to clinch. Ref's breaks eventually free Cat up - she's able to circle to mid-ring, banging away on Heigl's face the jab, easing onto her right foot to walk Kat into stroking hooks midriff and melons. Down the stretch, Bell fluid, economical with her footwork - she steps right and lights Katherine up a HUGE right cross exactly where she landed the last blockbuster. Heigl put wobbly butt, staggering sideways and rocking on her heels momentarily, but refusing to go down: KruZher lass able to absorb Cat's hardest blows through 6, but big damage IS getting done.

R7: Heigl's jab starting to make inroads - not as educated as Cat's but it's a thudding, hateful poke when committed - Bell's forced to give ground. From the jab, Kat's getting swinging right hands against the ribcage and from THERE, she's getting the hook. Bell being bludgeoned above her hips, tilting forward and trying to clinch: Heigl discourages the grapple with short, shrugging jugwork exactly the way they drew it up in camp. Bell buffetted back, on her heels - Kat's walking her down second half the round, bossing her. Heigl stepping-to Cat, palm-shoving her roughly in the shoulders, banging her body, working her rack - Bell open-mouthed, feeling the weight of shot keenly through 7.

R8: Katherine Heigl surging, confident Cat can't hurt her - she's upping tempo, jabbing to find Cat, then hurling hard overhand rights to chase Bell to ropes. Cat spending more time covered up in the pocket, twisting side to side to roll shots - not clinching as effectively as Heigl's pounding jug-mug a constant threat. Heigl having success mauling Bell - reaching in on her, bodying her around, stacking her up. Succulent body punches smashing away at the Bell breadbasket and ribs - big healthy blows landing with thick, wet, 'CHUP! CHUP!' impacts. Down the stretch, visibly weary Bell looking to punch her way off the ropes: she tosses a right uppercut against a CRUNCHING Heigl right cross and DOWN GOES CAT! Bell crumpling straight down, knees hitting her in her chest and bumping her to an awkard seat at the ropes - Heigl roaring down, stomping to neutral corner all rippling thighs and backside: that's the punch she's been trying to get on Cat all night!
R9: Bell survives, but she's ramshackle: legs're shot, won't execute the necessary turning moves Cat needs and HERE COMES HEIGL! Kat wading into Bell with short, clubbing lefts and rights - walking barrage batters legendary lightweight to ropes, has her cringing, turtling in the earmuff. Heigl doubling up muscular on short shrugging right uppercuts, doubling up left uppercuts - dismantling Cat's tight defense, knocking back her face, pancaking those jugs. Slamming, bashing blows flat on the biceps - Heigl reefing away, curling her mitts off Cat back to a ready punching position at Heigl's chest - she's going all in and Bell's reeling! CAT'S HURT! CAT'S HURT! Desperately Bell reaches to clinch: OH THE JUG TAKEN BY HEIGL! Katherine helping herself with heartless, tight-carving rights and lefts, brushing Bell back in stupor against the ropes. HOOK/RIGHT HAND! HOOK/RIGHT HAND! Heigl's eyes alight - she's HAMMERING the legend, pounding away her hardest blows, working Catherine Bell over and THE REF JUMPS IN! Devastated Cat Bell cradled to safety - her eyes closed, mouth open in shock as she slumps in the man's arms. TKO9 in spectacular fashion - Katherine Heigl!

Afterward: Heigl doing the unthinkable, overturning a commanding 4 round lead of Bell's, working the older woman's body, climbing the torso and clanging away on chin to hammer an astonished Cat Bell out on her feet! Charlize Theron joins Heigl in an immaculate cream pantsuit, bedecked with gold bracelets and necklace - she's clapping, eyes beaming with pride at what amounts to a victory by the entire stable - so hard did everyone work with Katherine in camp to climb this particular mountain. Tension briefly flares when a giddy Katherine Heigl looks to apply the smothering touch to her juggy rival, but is stopped by Charlize - Theron patiently explaining to the full-bodied beauty how only Charlize and Charlize alone may walk or otherwise humiliate the fallen Bell. Heigl's done her job - putting serious mileage on Cat tonight - that's enough. Celebrations continue on after that - Heigl bubbly on camera in postfight. "Now I want Cat in a sauna-bout - can you imagine? Nothing uses a cougar up like sauna-heat, and I deserve it after what I did to her tonight. I took Cat's best shots - which honestly, weren't that much - and I battered her senseless! Now I know why Charlize wants to keep fighting Bell - beating her up is addictive!"
