Before: Cat Bell shrugging off advice to take it easy coming back from Theron heartbreak--jumps right back in with maybe the hottest up-and-coming blonde this side of Molly Sims, “I’ve watched Tricia with interest,” admit s Cat in preflight, “she’s been very well-managed, positioned just right, matched well--you have to give her credit. I’ve read a lot of fan polls suggesting that people think Helfer would give me all I could want apartment or boxing, and that’s certainly a consideration in making this fight, I have to admit, I was a little put out when Tricia got leg attention just for wading through Allen, Scott and Keibler: seems to me I’ve got a pretty nice set of wheels too. I’m just going to say it: Tricia Helfer’s the most overhyped peroxide rookie I’ve ever seen--including Theron. You guys know I’d never trash talk a girl, and I’m not really blaming Helfer for BLONDE! Magazine’s excesses--but seriously: this bubble needs bursting big time.” Speaking of BLONDE!--they’ve sharpened their knives for this one seeing a chance to pile on in the wake of Theron’s heart pounding victory, “We used to joke about Cat Bell being the place where blonde hopes went to die,: laughs one contributing editor, “but Trish Helfer’s stepping up at just the perfect time to push bell to the sidelines, Cat’s reeling physically and emotionally and beating her will give Helfer the profile she’ll need to call Charlize out with authority. We view this as nothing short of a coronation: this fight marks the end of Cat Bell as a front line fighter and blonde-stopper!” Tricia in metallic baby blue bikini, Cat in FHM white bikini, white gloves both vixens.

During R1: Tricia: supple; loose limbed; graceful, loping footwork in a gentle counterclockwise wheel around Cat. Bell: dukes at temples; stomp feinting, gauging the reactions. Helfer initiating--jabbing in long and tart against the front bars of Cat’s guard, then licking a sleek hook on the ear. Bending into a looped right hand pulled tight upside Cat’s head, licking body shots in combination--blonde’s broad shoulders rotating, gloves lapping at flat brunette tummy. Strapping body shots--big, stroking rights tearing at belly meat; tuck-tucking hooks fat and loud in above Cats right hip: Tricia turning her hips seductively into her shots--sleek, lashing delivery, Bell rigid, blocking, pounding out a flat, straight jab to Tricia’s face, bringing hands back quick--Cat just trying to impose terms, getting outworked, but measuring her foe with calculating eyes, Trish upbeat at the bell, grinning into her corner shrugging as if to say :I’ve got this!” Bell stoic--taking on water, nodding in conference with Syren like it’s another day at the office.

R2: Tricia initiating again, loping around Cat, attacking her with zest: Bell defensive--stout, high guard presenting her proud waist as a target. Helfer getting on Cat now, punching more, punching harder, pulling harder, pulling her strokes into Bell and starting to move her with buffeting impacts up top. Bell snug n’ safe behind that guard, but not answering back--Helfer showing the wiry power that’s stopped so many lanky-bodied women this year and she’s getting to Catherine Bell. Supple, stroking body work really tearing up Cat’s pouting tummy--brunette starting to bend forward and give up her flanks--Helfer lashing away hooks, even scouring across the lower back at times. Tricia getting strong in a way pundits didn’t predict--pushing Cat roughly in her shoulders and backing her up--blonde walking Bell down, pouring it to her. Down the stretch, ripping body  blows bash  off the flanks and tummy--Helfer’s hands low, swinging fro the hips as she twists her sinewy torso--CAT BELL’S HURT! No one punch doing it, but Bell’s crippled, badly underestimating sleek blonde’s lanky power. Round ends to the sight of a wincing Cat Bell clinching up around Tricia’s ribs: anxious blonde shifting her hips back, bashing away both mitts above Cats shiny hips in the grasp at the bell.

R3: Tricia flowing at Cat now, feeling the moment: she’s lathering Bell into stupor! Helfer twisting to the left to pull that low-slung right into Cats ribs, twisting right to haul home the left--great shellacking licks all supple hips and shoulders propelling the blows. TRICIA HELPING HERSELF TO JUG! Cat getting a little ragged, rack going ton sale as Helfer torques thick left uppercuts into the goods--blonde smiling wide as she’s taking whatever she wants and TRISH HELFER GOES DOWN! Bell crouched, coiled, taking punishment but she answers back a SHRIEKING counter hook on the button, swiveling curly blonde head and dropping Helfer to her back in a hurting bundle of sinuous arms and legs! Tricia ruined by the shot, achily trying to roll onto her hip--she gets up off her knee, but pitches forward into the ropes still wildly spasmodic below the waist, Ref letting Trish gather herself for an 8 at the ropes--blonde musty-eyed,  dukes at her lips--she stares forlornly as CAT MARCHES IN! Bell cold-eyed, gutting Tricia with a how-you-like-me-now right/left on the waist, then palming her upright for more body work. Savage, savage stuff--Cat riding her left hand on Tricia’s right shoulder, stabilizing blonde for murderous right hands up underneath, Crunching, brutal body shots--Bell ripping ‘em with hips and legs working like camshafts on a sweaty, perfect punching machine, it’s all too much--ref rushes in to save a floundering Tricia Helfer--Cat Bell stalks away the TKO3 victrix!

After: Cat Bell does it again--how many proud young hopefuls have stepped up against Cat bell only to be hurled back in devastation? Trish meekly protesting the stoppage, but what else could the man do? Helfer too fine a talent r be potentially ruined by a sustained Cat bell bludgeoning he HAD to stop it,. Cat her usual complimentary self in post fight: “Right away I saw she was cute, sort of like a Liz Hurley offensively, but I was finding her with my jab and I knew I could time her. She hurt me to the body and Syren and I both agrees we better not taje any chances--first opportunity to chin check her, I went for it and fortunately for me, she couldn’t take the pounding.” Cat, Cat: how does Tricia stack up against the rest of the blonde class? “You know, she’s a fine, blonde fighter--no question about it. Could she beat Charlize right now? I don’t know about that, but I do know she’d give Theron hard, hard rounds for sure. Definitely a distance fight. Theron probably takes a weak, stinky decision.” Me-OW!
