Before: "Give her a butt whipping!" Stacy says when asked what the plan for Ali is. "She's old news and she knows it. And she also knows the NEW news is ME. She used to be the gold standard, but she's looking a little chipped and scuffed - really more of a pewter standard now. I'll add to her woes, give her a good dose of Stacy Keibler magic, and move on from there!" Landry pursing lips, nonplussed by a once-compliant Keibler's new-found 'tude. "Stacy needs to be rudely treated," Ali says sternly at podium. "Something long and thorough - a real good touch-up. Her legs are magnificent - anyone can see that - but you get north of her hips and the quality drops off dramatically. Her torso's brittle - those long arms are gangly and inefficient: once I compress her, I'll take my time, get 'er done right. I'm gonna bank punches in Keibler for next time, you know what I mean? Give her something she can really remember. It's time to wipe that stupid grin off her face and replace it with something more suitable." Stacy in vivid metallic hot pink bikini; white gloves; blonde hair beach-loose. Ali in gold bikini, black gloves; hair in loose brown tangles. ASIDES: Kathy Heigl getting into it with Ali at times throughout prefight festivities - Keibler enjoying the shouting, when not trying to antagonize Landry herself. On fight night - Louisiana-girl Ali parades to ring flanked by New Orleans Saints special team players, carrying Saints banners on poles.

During R1: Stacy loping forward, backhanding out pesky jabs, leaning into rights, clawing come-back hooks across Ali's midsection: Stacy very busy for a tall girl. Landry with hands down at her sides, tempting Stace to head-hunt: when she does, Ali's employing slip-and-counter, scoring to blonde ribs/head with either hand. Ali perplexing her blonde - sliding away, showing the head, then taking it away: Keebs giving up her height, walks into a number of crowd pleasing single shots. Points secured by the half-way mark: Ali starts to slip-n'-clinch: wrapping Stacy up around the ribs, walking her to ropes for breaks. Rough-house in the clinch: Ali bumping shoulders, slamming forearms to ribs/biceps/pecs. Ref doesn't like it; Ali doesn't care; Stacy gets scrubbed for points in the first.

R2: Same again - Ali showing low-hands, but springy legs - edging away as Stacy comes forward - ducking the rangy blonde assaults - countering swat, head or body, either hand. Stacy scowling, coming forward strong: her right hand is missing over the top, but that good clawing come-back hook IS taking Ali to tummy/tits. Landry getting the sterner clout however - really moving Stacy's noggin with right hands, or thumping lefty into her ribs. Again, after midway point: Ali starts to walk Stace into clinches, bodying her to ropes, scuffin' and bumpin'. More warnings for Ali: this is very cheap work in the grasp - but Landry's putting mileage on golden-brown torso while neutralizing Stacy's fabled legs.

R3: Ali continues to execute: slip-n'-counter early, taking the steam out of Stace; slip-n'-clinch late, controlling what's left. Keibler grumpy, straining against her tormentress in the grasp: Ali generally securing her girl in under Keibler's arms, getting underneath, controlling taller vixen. Ali holding and hitting at ropes: left arm wound round Stacy's back; left arm shrugging in short, stuffing leather belly/ribs/pecs. Stacy pushed, bumped and mauled at ropes: she's game - trying to wedge her forearms in on Ali's shoulders to push her off, then looking for rangy dip-n'-rip uppercuts. Landry not untouched, but she's getting tummy all over her blonde, smothering her through 3.

R4: Stacy adjusts, stops slapping backhand jabs, starts really snapping 'em instead. Stace in forward aspect - weight on golden left leg; right heel up off canvas: she's punching Ali off, spreading her out. Rangy right hands still not landing flush, but Ali covers up in respect: plenty of pageant-winning tummy for Keibler's hook to claw at. Keibs rotating clockwise, extending on her shots: Ali forced to bring her hands up to guard stiff jabs - she's no longering countering. Landry trying to weave forward, get penetration: nothing doing against that pumping blonde poke. Casual damage done to Stacy's ribcage as she stabilizes her front: Ali punished out on the end of Keibler's rangy punches.

R5: More Keibler, better Keibler. Stiff jab continues to vex and control Ali midring. Hard, slinging rights spook Ali, forcing her to cover up and duck - leaving her stationary for Stacy's limber left. Keibs digging in thick, strapping hooks behind Ali's right elbow; carving lashing hooks across trembling Ali Tummy, and; DIGGING a snappy left uppercut breasts and chin on Ali. Landry picked up HARD at times, rocked out of her stance: Keibs hopping forward with a sunny expression, loving Ali's distress. Landry in full retreat, just trying to steer clear of ropes as Stacy walks her down big-girl.

R6: Ali jabbing-with, taking the punch away from Stacy: blonde bogs down as brunette beats her to the punch, then jams a stubby right on the way in. Punch n' clutch seldom seen from Ali, but she's managing it beautifully: neutralizing Stacy's jab, catching her a right hand, then bodying up to maul her. Keibs fretful, grimacing, pushing on Ali with raised forerms: brunette getting in underneath, powering her blonde to ropes. Sumptuous body work done as Ali fights in close: rising lefts and rights beating Stacy in her lungs, softening her up. Long stretches of Keebs stooped forward in earmuff, butt-in-ropes, gasping as Ali pumps up and in.

R7: Same again - Ali completely taking Stacy's jab out of the equation with her own - touching Stace in her body as girls poke simultaneously. Stepping inside, Ali's sneaking that short right onto Keibler's jaw: Stacy's legs taking it well, but she's accepting the terms, unable or unwilling to disengage. Inside, Ali systematc: savaging the gut/waist; breaking down the ribs; smashing those fleshy pecs. Keebs suffering: slumped in ropes, torso drooping forward as Stace shows earmuff. Ali on top, crowding, pushing in - then shoving home the hurt underneath. Keebs whimpering into her gloves, getting bullied. Ali mopping Stacy's collarbone with her forehead side to side - hands alternately pushing, holding, or digging. Bell: Ali makes a show of pushing up off steaming blonde meat - hard eye contact lets Stace know all about it.

R8: Bitter two way fighting - most of it midring. Keibs giving up her height, leaning forward to get left shoulder in Ali's chest: she's looking to brawl. Landry takes the terms, grinds it out shoulder to shoulder... but this is very determined Stacy. Keibs bearing her teeth as she dips left shoulder to lick left uppercuts - snatching at tummy/tits/chin. Landry clipped, clouted, but holding fast: she's back at Stacy's waist/flanks swipin' and a-swattin' - tidying up the torso. Ringing chin-checks from Ali the difference in a close round: she's getting 'em tidy as she dips to either side, pulling short shots onto jaw. Stacy's long legs soak 'em up, but gaudy, eye-catching connects give Ali a close heat.

R9: Same again: bitter in-fighting - Stacy willing to give up her height to swap wallop toe-to-toe. Keibs a little more artful this time - frequently reaching for the back of Ali's head with the left hand, pulling it down for controll. Stacy dipping, ripping rangy uppercuts body/tits/head: Landry frowning, getting picked up hard in spots. Stacy forward with rough shoulder bumps, or aggressive forearms braced against Ali's shoulders: blonde able to get separation in close, then work. Landry swatting back, but she's getting outworked: Stacy's limber, energetic work carries the round.

R10: Stacy pulling Ali's head down lefty, smoking her righty: Landry's cranky about it, badgering ref to make a call. Stacy re-works the jab, using it in close to spread Ali out, then leaning into clean up right crosses: Landry finally getting tagged flush to her jaw as rangy Keibler dials in. Bad moments midway through for Landry: she's put wobbly butt, seriously unhinged by a series of slinging Keibler rights: Ali stumbling into ropes, immediately pulling blonde into clinch for ref's break. Systematic work from there - Stacy on Ali: Landry butt-in-ropes, showing earmuff, looking for weary clinches to slow things down. Stacy tireless, lashing left/rights against the waistline, looking to chop Ali in two. As Landry folds forward in pain, Keibs looms over top, going at the flanks with brutal arms-akimbo tic-toc. Stace getting in there flat-knuckle with her elbows out to either side - tucking in snug behind either Landry elbow. Bell: Ali blinking back tears, thighs trembling; Stacy chesting up, shouting "IT'S ALL ME!" in Ali's pinched face. Decision comes back all Ali however: UD10 Landry.

After: Keibler distraught - emotional girl felt she'd done enough to win: she probably finished stronger, but coughed up too many rounds along the way. "I'm a blonde-stopper," Ali shrugs in postfight, dabbing at her face with white towel across her shoulders. "With all the smoke Cindy was blowing at the gala, people forgot about who the boss brunette in this thing really is. This tournament has always been mine to win or lose. Looks like I'll be doing more of the former, fellahs. Somebody get Stacy some ice for her ribs."
