Before: twain a prohibitive favourite, comes in not only bigger than her opponent, but faster/better skilled. Still, Combs a feisty little slugger, throws punches in combinations, and has the ability to wear other girls down--remains to be seen if she can hit Shania often enough to take it out of her. Shania in black push up, leopard print bikini bottoms, hair up. Combs in light blue adidas sports bra, grey stretch cotton aerobics briefs, ponytail.

During R1: Combs knows she has to hurt Twain to have a chance, and the “Charmed” brunette bobs and weaves her way to close range, opening the round with big left hooks on the chin to stagger Shania at the outset. Twain wide-eyed and wobbly, bends side to side, moving her head, but Holly leaps into Twain’s body with both fists, diligently punishing those ripped abs with banging lefts and rights, Final minute sees twain bouncing back against the ropes to slip punches, but a crashing left hook on he teeth rolls her eyes back, and a bludgeoning follow-up left uppercut pounds out the mouth guard as twain collapses forward into a knock-down saving clinch. Shania badly rattled at the bell, suffers as Combs digs a late hook into her relaxed stomach after the bell.

R2: Twain’s legs shot, but she gets it done with hand speed and upper body cutey moves to outbox Combs this round. Twain with the extended left, poles and scrapes with the jab on Holly’s chin, whipping in the sidearm right hand, ducking on the follow through, and coming back with the crisp left hook to keeps Combs at arms length, Twain forced to fight inside on occasion does well, reefing Holly to the ribs with double left hooks.

R3: Combs stunning Twain again with a short right hand blast on the chin, has Shania weakened, but combs fails to capitalize as Twain dances on rubbery legs to clear her head, Twain able to fight well in retreat, ripping off slapping combinations to keep Combs occupied. Holly takes the round on the strength of her gambling power shots, and twains till unable to get her legs into this fight.

R4: Twain on the inside, trades body blows with combs as he girls lean I cheek to cheek. Not much clinching as both girls stay active, trading fiercely to the ribs and breast with short bursts, then covering up low to block the rfeceipt, Twain more active, peppers away with slapping combinations to the waist--not hurting Holly, but impressing the judges with the work rate.

R5: Twain up ion her toes for the first time, able to move in and out, puts her punches together while minimizing Combs’ chances. Combs starting to have trouble with the movement, walking into right hands while attempting to cut off the ring. Twain with that Tapia-esque footwork, dictates the round with authority.

R6: Shania with that extended left hand, pecks away at Hoilly;’s face and lips, then comes over with the snapping right cross an Combs staggers for the first time. Holly looking to clinch, but twain orderly in retreat, rings combinations off Holly’s face to bust the brunette up. Twain leading Holly across the ring, spins off the ropes behind a blur of left hooks, then repeats the process as Combs wobbles forward into punishment. Fight takes  on the look of a beating as Combs begins to field pounding lefts and rights flush on her face, despite her defensive bob. By the final minute, Combs’ cut over the right eye and rocking out of her stance as Twain gets off at will, twain looking to close the show, breaks Combs down with a luscious 6 hook sequence to the midsection, leaving Holly cringing in pain. Stepping right, Twain cranks hooks against Holly’s eye, pounding the little brunette in a semi circle, and Combs is helpless. Holly fading to the ropes with a glazed expression, and the ref jumps in to save her from further abuse. TKO6 Shania Twain.

After: Combs giving everything she had early, did enough to get twain out of her game plan through 4, but once Shania was able to get her legs back, Combs couldn’t cope, twain soaking up the smaller girl’s best shots, back  and posted an absolutely brilliant 6th round, handing out a vicious barrage of pinpoint strikes to the head to force a stoppage.
