Before: "Well we can't BOTH be the hardest hitting lightweights in the game," joshes Jen in prefight. "Seriously - I'll give Jeri the one shot with the right hand, but punch for punch, I'm hitting harder, with both hands, more often and I'll stack my accumulation up against her single shot stroke any day." Ryan anxious to separate herself from Jen, recognizing the spotlight on this fight. "We're fighting under Biel/Pratt - you have to think the winners might match up, and I plan to be in that position. Jenny's a tough out - she's got some heart and she can stop you if she gets the jump - but she's not championship material yet and I'm going to hurt her to prove it." Ryan in red bikini, O'Dell in neon blue, twist tied top, white bottoms ring-connected at the hip.

During R1: O'Dell fluttering the jab, making Ryan blink, then labelling Jeri a looping overhand to begin festivities. Trademark walking barrage from Jen - clubbing lefts and rights driving Ryan ropeside - Jenny bulling in head and shoulders, shoulder-bump, shoulder-bump, then she's working hard to the midsection. Ryan clinching, staying calm - ref breaking 'em up - Jenny back in with a looping overhand right - blocked - but a clanging hook on the jaw that gets the crowd roaring. Jeri soaking up clobber with typical poker-face - but legs locking up early - she's unable to move off those ropes. Series of pressing O'Dell attacks, ultimately bogged down in Ryan clinches - but Jenny hounding and pounding, eager to get back on after every ref's break. Down the stretch - Jenny squared up strong, roasting Jeri's flanks with batting lefts and rights - Ryan hunched forward, elbows in, not answering back and RYAN TAKES A KNEE! Crowd whooping to it's feet - Jeri steadying herself with right hand on the middle rope - deep breaths, Jeri, deep breaths - she's composed, using the entire count to get herself together. Ryan up - sinking into the ropes to accept O'Dell's charge - bell sounds to end a storming JOD stanza. O'Dell pumped, grinning in her corner - Jeri getting perked up some ice-water in the face on her stool.

R2: Jenny stalking forward, fluttering her jab and looking for more looping right hands - but Jeri's got the straight jab cooking. Jenny startled and brought to a halt by Ryan's shivering stick - not just a set up punch for Jeri - she hurts girls with it. Ryan spends a minute bringing Jenny to heel, stepping left around the stick, feinting, then shooting spanking right hands straight between Jenny's mammoth jugs. O'Dell moving backward, not releasing her hands as Jeri imposes her will. Down the stretch - Ryan plastering O'Dell's upperchest that thumping jab, keeping Jenny's back to the ropes, then leaning into a whistling go-home right! Jenny with a quick slip underneath, back with a rolling hook and RYAN GOES DOWN! Jenny lumped up but loving it as she skips over Ryan's legs en route to neutral corner - Jeri badly blitzed, shaking her head as she struggles to rise. Shaky 8 Ryan - Jenny on like a freight train - girls trade right hands and O'DELL GOES DOWN! Jenny peeling back from the collision as both lean in with the cross - Jeri shorter and straighter, gets ALL of that chin and poor Jenny's laid out quivering on her back. O'Dell floundering, flopping, finally getting to her feet - SHE'S shook up - Jeri's shook up - they fall into each other's arms for a mutual clinch at the bell.

R3: Girls cooked on their stools, both getting smelling salts - both come out loading up and looking to end this thing as soon as possible. Ryan with the right at her chest, stepping into that thumping jab - Jenny adjusting with her feet, fading the stick, circling to the left, making Ryan shift her weight. Quiet first minute, but opening the second - an O'Dell right shaves past Jeri's lips - Ryan back with a ripping right and now they're turning on vicious lefts and rights toe to toe! O'Dell gets the rhythm, catching Ryan a bashing hook on the cheek - ruining Jeri's hook mid-punch - Jen able to pound a right hand off Jeri's face, squaring up Jeri's feet and the third hook has Ryan floundering! Jeri staggering forward - Jen stepping back in good order and CLANGING away - tidy lefts and rights under Jeri's chin, scrubbing the offending face side to side. Jen turns - Jeri crashes past her - Ryan almost dropping to her knees, but straightening at the ropes in time to accept Jenny's charge. O'Dell pounding away with clubbing rights to the ear, pushing and palming up, then churning away lefts and rights - Jeri soaking up shots, but gathering herself, shrug-slugging tidy lefts and rights into Jenny's hulking bosom and BACKING O'DELL UP! Jenny getting mugged, girls falling in mouth on shoulder and again reaching around each other almost grateful for the rest at the bell.

R4: Chests heaving, faces swelling up - Jenny breathless as she tells her corner, "I'm beating her down." Jeri tells hers, "She's hurt - I know it." Girls flat footed to midring, but alert - Jenny feinting groggily, moving her head and reaching out the jab to Jeri's ribs. Ryan missing the head with her jab, starts to jab shoulders and chest just to make contact - girls easing warily clockwise as they negotiate range on uncertain legs. Jenny first to bring a shout from the crowd as she pulls a hook short, but leans into a swinging right that bashes Jeri's head back, puts the long blonde on her heels. Jenny starting that walking barrage - Jeri leaning back, reeling before the fury, but stops suddenly, left hand at her ear as she leans forward to carry a thudding right to the pit of O'Dell's belly. Jenny stopped short, catches a hook on the teeth - SHE'S staggered, wobbly butt, but answering back with a shoving right to the tits, bumping Ryan to her right. Jeri clawing jug her hook, then pounding home a pancaking right across O'Dell's melons - Jenny brutalized, angered - she starts lathering ribs and tits to once again force Ryan backwards. Jeri stepping out - Jenny mightily overswings her hook, twisting out of position and Ryan POUNDS home a driving right behind the ear. O'Dell going down on her face as though struck by a sniper's bullet and it's OVER! KO4 in electrifying fashion - Jeri Ryan!

After: Replays show Ryan's eyes widening like saucers as she pulls the trigger on that final blistering right - Jenny vulnerable for just a split second but that's all Jeri needs to end a girl's night. Ryan on last legs, slumping in her trainer's arms - devastating fight for both women could have gone either way with bodies bouncing off the canvas the way they were. Fight drawing comparisons to the epic Famke/Peta wars for the dramatic ebbs and surges, and despite the fiery conclusion, both women did a lot to answer charges of one dimensionality. "Jeri showed what may be the best jab in the division now," says one BLONDE! correspondent happy to sneak a face-slap in on Cat Bell in oblique fashion, "and O'Dell's head movement actually set up one of her knockdowns with a slip-and-counter hook. That's pretty classy, considering the wallop being swapped." Indeed.
