BEFORE: (Figure this took place a few weeks ago as part of Candi-prep for Grace Park)

Prefight Victoria Secret style. First - full televised fashion show with all the models. Second - Lima and Swanepoel both wearing jeans and the 2 million dollar diamond encrusted VS pushups for their podium-talks - talks which inevitably break down into hair pulling/pushing/slapping/squealing matches so picturesque as to be virtually indescribable. And third - oh lord, third: the weigh-ins: each girl standing nearby, arms crossed, looking sour as the other is weighed - leaning in to double-check the official's work - scrutinizing every square inch, clicking tongues at imaginary bits of 'flab', the mere suggestion of which inevitably leads to more squealing and brawling. Sure - they say stuff - but it's immaterial: it's all about the weigh-ins with models.

Candice in purple satin-finish push up and panties trimmed in frilly pink lace; white gloves; long blonde hair in sensuous tangles. Lima in scarlet satin finish push up/panties trimmed in frilly black lace; black gloves; tangly-curl hair loose. Girls pouting and giving fierce looks during ring instructions - it's basically a pose-down as each tries to get the camera to close-up and stay on her. Do they touch 'em up when asked? Don't be ridiculous. Lima shouts "NEVER!" causing Swanepoel to roll her eyes and wave her palm at her nemesis.

During R1: Teeth bared; hair wild; girls lope together, seething. Lima with a wide, amateurish right takes Swanny loud in her tummy, at the cost of a pushy right in the mouth from Candice. Candi swings a wide left, slapping LIma across the face: Lima swats down and out with her left in reprisal, slapping offending blonde breasts. Swanepoel hating the touch of LIma on her jugs, draws her right elbow back, then plunges a shoving right into Lima's belly: blonde girl's lips curled off her teeth; lock of hair dangling over right eye as she scores deep. Lima groaning, pitching forward like she's been hit in the stomach with a medicine ball: Swanepoel tries to follow up another swinging left but wraps the punch around Lima's head-and-shoulders instead. Stumbling, hugging, girls stagger to ropes - Lima pushing her way into the clear, dropping the right to her thigh, then heaving it up and around to smite Candice across the face: blonde head pitches to her right, hair tossing, face pinched as her left drapes over Lima's right shoulder. Lima tries to follow up a slugging left but winds up just pushing with it as Candi gets her right up to block. Sloppy slugging - Lima atop Candi - neither girl productive as the models are too close, just pushing and scrubbing on each other. Ref's break: seething beauties couldn't be more picturesque - looking like a couple of gypsies fighting for a husband. Back and forth - long, lean bodies straining - high pitched voices crying out, wailing, panting; gorgeous faces pinched with effort or pain as each has her moments at the other's expense. Bell: girls entangled - Candi atop Lima, bending her back over top rope as ref moves in.

Round-card girl prances around with a big number 2: Swanepoel up off her stool, pushing the girl, berating her - Giselle quickly through the ropes to get the flustered girl out of there. Ambrosio given the task of carrying the cards, to avoid any more hassles. Models!

R2: Oh those seething looks - the blazing eyes, the bared teeth: fighters don't even have to throw punches to cause excitement. Candice thrusts a kinda/sorta straight right down at Lima's tummy, winning a bark of outrage from Adrianna. Windmilling lefts and rights slap back from Lima - clouting Swanny across her face and breasts - turning her around with a squeal and driving her off. Candi's corner screaming "BOX GODDAMMIT! CANDICE, BOX!" Academy trainer ill amused at Swanepoel's return to VS tyro technique. Sloppy slugging sees Candice wrap right arm around LIma's head - fighters tumble into ropes: Candi switches, looping her LEFT around Lima's head, while cramming slender-limbed rights into quivering brunette tummy. Lima sobbing out - sitting in ropes all breathless and whining: ref pulls Candice off, warns her for holding and hitting. Resume, Candice manages to straighten out a left jab, punching Lima on her face, disorganizing her: Swanepoel leans forward all bendy-backed - right hand up...she slap-chops down and across Lima's front, striping breast/ribs/tummy to win a cry of dismay from Lima. Adrianna hugging her body, turning right and stumbling away: Swanepoel all frisky, hopping after her with right hand well behind, delivering a running right roundhouse PAK! in between Lima's shoulder blades (commonly known as the 'withers' in model parlance.) Lima crying out - head back, hands up at her shoulders, wrists bent back, she stumbles chest-first into ropes. bleating in pain. Lima with right arm looped over top rope, hunkering down: Candi roughly pushes the brunette square to ropes, bending her over the top strand before hauling the right hand well back, then PLUNGING it deep to gut! Lima pitching forward with a sob - hair obscuring her face/tumbling across her breasts. Candice crying out "HAH!" as she plows her fist home - head up high, face glaring exultantly into crowd. Candi lost in Lima-hate - lifts hands high above her head, bringing both slamming down hammerfist style onto Lima's slender back - bludgeoning brunette to her knees! Ref pushes Candi away - Adrianna wailing, arching her back on her haunches, lifting her tear-stained face to win the hearts of the officials. Ruled a foul: Candice warned, pushed to neutral corner as Lima's given time to get herself together...Adrianna blinking tears away prettily, giving Candice just the hint of a smile over the ref's shoulder: Swanepoel stamping her foot, enraged that Lima's theatrics would get her out of the jam!

R3: Girls swinging away mindlessly midring - big, wide lefts and rights, slapping and clouting. Girls panting, stumbling - locks of hair in furious eyes as fighters stagger about. Pushy jab for Candice nudges Lima backwards by her face - Swanny having some luck just stepping forward, keeping her left in LIma's face, prodding her to ropes! Lima frazzled - touch of rope at her back makes her punch her arms forward on reflex: Swanepoel bends low - right arm well back behind her...she rises gracefully from the crouch, twisting torso-left, hauling that right up and around in a hilariously telegraphed roundhouse that nonetheless lands flush on chin, ending Lima's night in a thunderclap. Swanepoel swinging herself off balance - stumbling forward into ropes as Lima's slopping down and to her left...blonde girl almost standing atop fallen brunette back as Lima relaxes into stupor. Bendy KO3 for Candice - she's laughing, pushing hair out of her eyes as she looks down at sleeping LIma until ref clears the area.

After: Lima rolled to her back and gently brought round: sight of her coming-to - groggily throwing punches off her back, then breaking down into sniveling tears has Candice clapping her hands close to her chest, looking delighted. HBO quickly slotting in the Swan Lake tape and dispatching extra security ringside: ring is chok-a-block with heartless Victoria's Secret models and Academy officials - Swanepoel's licking her lips and looking for more...Lima's helpless, blubbering...this can only get meanspirited from here...
