Before: Long-awaited showdown for two former sparring partners: mutual respect, but a lot of pent-up tension giving edge to with promotion. “We’ve sparred on the ‘Galatica’ set.” grace explains in preflight, “so I know Tricia’s moves, but we’ve never really gone at it. Producers on the show have made it very clear what I can and can’t do in sparring--I’ve definitely had the cuffs on when I’ve worked with her, so this will be the first time she’s tasted my power full on, Look, I’m just going to say it: Tricia’s overrated, in my mind, she’s still a model, you know? Models gets knocked out when they fight it is for Trish. “I’m curious about Grace, I want to see what she’s got, but I don’t think this even CLOSE to the toughest fight I’ve had. I’m battle tested--I’m coming off a Charlize Theron fight, but I’ve warred with Ashley Scott and Alana De La Garza, For Grace to dismiss all that is a big mistake for her.” Grace in black bikini top, yellow bottoms, puncher’s ponytail, small black gloves--Tricia in metallic baby blue bikini, small white gloves. Unflinching stares midring as girls touch ‘em up--both trying to win this thing with their eyes before ever using their fists.

During R1: Grace hopping-to: dukes chest high, left hand pawing to measure--she wants to drive in righty, set up inside. Helfer silky on her right, elbows in, hands out to either side in gentle gull-wing--little head feints giving Grace pause. Tricia backhanding her jab--just a little tap as she steps, then she’s leaning in torso-first, pulling the right hand into Graces body, lashing her the hook up top, changing direction to pivot to the left. Helfer a master at brushing decoy punches in combination to set up the one she wants: a biting hook tight to the chin; a licking left uppercut tucking right to the solar plexus, park stationary, making herself VERY available for tall girl’s punching--Gracey rocked in first minute, keeps  trudging forward. Midway through, Tricia feinting, feinting, brings the hesitation right onto Park’s chin (HOO!), leans onto the back (right) foot to clap a caressing hook across Gracey’s jaw (HAH!) and PARK GOES DOWN! Grace astonished--struggling up from all fours and nearly going down again--she’s wobbly butt, swaying for 8 at the ropes. ON COMES HELFER! Tricia loping in, lick-licking right/lefts on the waist, coming up hooks-to-chops and PARK CATCHES TRISH A HOOK! Helfer staggering back foggy-eyed on her heels--Grace snarling, wading forward--Park bands, pulls a looping right over top and NAILS blonde skull as Tricia’s backing straight up. Helfer stepping in fence post holes, guard forming a long V with her elbows together at her belly, hands either side of her face: park stepping in HOISTS away lanky to the ribcage, abdominals. Rich, reefing work--Park DIGGING into tanned blonde muscle--clouting and strapping away. Helfer stunned, leaning forward in the V, just soaking up shots at the bell. Grace eyes blazing: she got dropped, but came off the canvas strong to turn Helfer’s big 10-8 into a routine 10-9.

R2: Tricia getting counseled to box, use her height--Helfer cooperates. Tricia e-z loping right, eyes smoldering--she bats out the jab, or stoops and backhands it to tummy--deceptively lazy stuff, just trying to draw Grace out. Park keeping her dukes higher, showing more respect--she’s punching back from too far out, coming up short, Trish in command--she can sway in cobra-like on her front foot, touch and brush nuisance body blows, then look to torque on real business up top, leaning back onto her right foot to change distance on Park. Sinewy, sleek style has park mesmerized--she’s standing around, posing, watching Tricia as opposed to going right aftet that ribcage as expected.

R3: Helfer sinuous to her right, feinting, bringing a half speed right hand over the top to set up a gorgeous, cranking left hook up underneath, spanking that bad-girl off Gracey’s midsection. Park cramping, grimacing: Helfer’s hitting her harder than expected, being more elusive than expected--Grace tentative, late with her punching. Helfer leaning her torso in and out, strapping and licking punches onto Park--she’s starting to stroke Grace hard--small mitts biting into firm waist, bouncing off hard skull. Midway through, Park’s tired of being strafed--she rushes blindly forward, thrusting straight punches--Tricia backpedaling in good order, evading the work, then placing an exquisite counter0right uppercut to chin as Park tumbles in. PARK’S STUNNED! Helfer with a greasy sidestep, guides wounded Grace face-first to ropes--shows good sportswoman ship by using her left hand to push against Park’s left shoulder, putting Park’s back to ropes for the face-to-face beat down. CRASHING RIGHT HAND belts Park’s face hard to starboard--dukes to her chest as head cranks ‘round: Gracey’s out on her feet. Proud Asian beauty dug in grim--she sags into ropes, eyes staring and HELFER’S LATHERING AWAY! Tricia’s lips tight as she strokes hooks, pounds crosses, batting Gracey’s face hither and yon and THE REF STEPS IN! TKO3 in decisive fashion, Tricia Helfer.

After: Park’s body shivering in spasm as she stands in the ref’s arms--she’s tremble bodied in the aftermath of being taken apart by Tricia. Helfer beaming, but composed: she expected to win and she’s not rubbing her foe’s face in it. “Grace underestimated me,,” Tricia says in post fight, dabbing at her chest and face with a white towel. “She thought she would just walk me down and beat me up, but I wasn’t about to allow that. When I dropped her I the first, I could see it in her eyes: she wasn’t emotionally prepared for how hard I punch. She’s a good fighter, but she didn’t threaten me, I hate to say it, but I outclassed Gracey tonight.” Park sullen, banged up, deeply demoralized: TKO3 definitely not in her fight plan tonight. “I don’t think the weight was a problem,” Park says in response to a Tractorpull query. “Maybe I should have tuned up at lightweight before getting in with Trish, but I’m tall--I’m like a Jolene Blalock--I can carry the weight when I need to. She hurt me early and that really upset my plans--I didn’t feel like I could pressure her the way I wanted after that, and  I didn’t have a Plan B. I take my hat off to her: Tricia’s the real thing--she was the better woman tonight.”
