Before: Kind of fight fighters gossip about in gyms - well known that Connelly's career took off after upsetting McCarthy 2 years ago - insiders split down the middle as to how this fight shakes out. Connelly much improved over the interval and currently at a peak, but McCarthy with a hard charging style and big punch has added nuance to her game as well - it's two evolving girls re-testing expectations. Connelly in red string bikini, McCarthy in black bikini.

 

During R1: Jenny out hot to brawl - Connelly goes to the Cat Bell playbook, meets her midring and donnybrook explodes at the open! Furious trade - Jmac leaning into chopping overhand rights, mopping up the hook - Connelly with short right hands from the shoulder, turning over her own hook and MCCARTHY GETS ROCKED! Jenny Mac's legs bow out, lock up - she staggers away forlorn and Connelly pounces! JC switching to the body, leaning in close and HAULING in the leather - big, free swinging lefts and rights gutting McCarthy as she wilts to the ropes. Jmac sliding away, face shiny and stunned, thinks the burst is over, but Connelly stays on her - RIPPING at the body, lowering her head and WAILING her fists back and forth with rangy power. 6,7,8,9,10 shellacking body shots tear home - McCarthy FINALLY folding in to clinch, hanging on for dear life. Rest of the way a punishing Jen Connelly mop up - JC light on her toes, stubbing out her jab on the left side if McCarthy's jaw, dropping the little right hand and snapping off the hook from outside. McCarthy wide eyed, stepping gingerly at the bell, traces of snivel on trembling lips as Connelly backs down the bully big time!

 

R2: Mac shows her underated versatility - right hand tight to her jaw, she comes out pumping stick, staying in a tight crouch and unashamed to clinch up and walk Connelly ropeside for breaks. Change up in style pretty effective - Connelly waiting to counter big right hands that never come - Jenny Mac chipping and chiselling for points, getting a little of that body work back, and muscling champ along the ropes.

 

R3: McCarthy fencing with Connelly midring, jabbing to chest, looking to rock forward into tight overhand rights, then cover up tight on follow through inside. Champ on her toes, easy to her left - much improved lateral movement from Connelly as she shows textbook boxing form. Tactical stuff till late - JC bounces a short, pre-emptive right hand off Jmac's face to spoil a McCarthy right, then turns a clanging hook over to swivel blonde head and JENNY HOPS TO ONE KNEE! Delayed reaction as McCarthy steps away, realizes her legs are gone and stumbles awkwardly to the canvas. Connelly with an appraising look at the bell - Jmac honestly bewildered at how she's being hurt through 3.

 

R4: McCarthy tentative, high guard, hands moving from chest to eyebrows, jab off the temple, but she's not pressing the issue. Connelly getting her way outside, jabbing between the mitts, stepping easy to her left. McCarthy able to spot some firm rights straight down into Connelly's ribcage, but champ's controlling the quiet moments, dictating terms - taming Mac with poised, cool execution.

 

R5: McCarthy doubling up the jab, pitching a short, curling overhand right, bringing the right foot forward as she does, immediately twists into a brawling left roundhouse from the southpaw stance, stepping into orthodox stance as she comes forward - Connelly giving ground under the sudden heat. Jmac able to mount a few such rushes, skidding her fists off Connelly's skull, shoulders - Jennifer able to leg away from the full impact, but she's backing up and getting scuffed. Good aggressive round for Mac - plenty of fight left in the blonde.

 

R6,7: Connelly goes to a pulsating jab, winning these rounds classy with her feet and stick. Champ doing a nice job mixing up the rhythm with sudden little rights - Jmac routinely surprised by the tap on her face, sets her up for nice swinging hooks on the chin as Connelly swivels to her left. JC doing a little work on the Jmac rack these rounds as well, backing McCarthy up with crisp, curling lefts and rights rising on the inside - blonde with a stung look as brunette swats away at the goods. Connelly also conscientious about that body - McCarthy posing behind her guard, allowing champ to tidy up with heavy, swinging lefts and rights beefy around the elbows. Confident boxing rounds by a comfortable champ.

 

R8: Mac won't go away. Jmac able to press behind the stubby jab up the middle, punch out of the weave to get Connelly ropeside, then work her over a little this round. Mac palming up tough, shoving Connelly's back into the strands, then getting up into the lungs with hup-hup punching. Connelly on her heels, swatting back - she's just buying breathing room, can't get her butt off the ropes. Good bell to bell pressure, McCarthy.

 

R9: Connelly back to midring, pulsing the jab against Jmac's brows and chest, spotting little lead rights and ripping off the hook - nice bouncy footwork as JC gets off, steps lightly to her left. Mac setting down and throwing hard right hands to the body, landing the loudest shots of the stanza, but too infrequently - Connelly determining what can and can't happen this round.

 

R10: Both girls want to make a statement - fight ends as it began with a torrent of two way leather midring! Crowd roaring as girls tear it up, hooks and right hands and JENNY MAC GETS HURT! Once again, Connelly's hook lands flush after a blister of back and forth - Mac's legs give way, she steps out wonky - and Connelly ROPES her to the body hungry lefts and rights. Savage, long armed licks underneath beat McCarthy into the ropes - she's all loose and busted up in her torso, face in her gloves, lolling sideways on the strands. Connelly gets all she wants downstairs, then palms up, extending her arms as she steps out to boxing range and goes to work up top. Chopping rights set up the hook, then a quick backhand jab flick to reset - Connelly light on her toes as she bounces in and out, putting a beating on Jennifer McCarthy. Jmac recovering her composure, bending at the waist, looking to clip a counter hook out of the crouch, but every time she tries it, Connelly's left wins the race, getting satisfying pop off blonde jaw. Bell to bell shutout with power from Jennifer Connelly, puts a resigned look on Mac's face, leaves her wobbly butt at the finish. UD10 for the winner and STILL champ - Jennifer Connelly.

 

After: Connelly jumping out front and never looking back - spirited effort from McCarthy but blonde stood up to a pretty good beating tonight. Connelly showing all the tools - boxing pretty on the outside, slugging effectively, and doing some of the best body work of her career to change McCarthy's game plan right from the get go. "We definitely saw Bell/O'Dell as a blueprint for what we wanted to do with McCarthy," says a serene champ in postfight. "I played a little smash mouth with the bully early, beat her body to take away her power, and she was mine the rest of the night. You saw how faded she was in the tenth - those body shots killed Jenny McCarthy, just absolutely ate her up. I can't imagine what that must have been like for her."
