Before: Krusher newcomer Dawson talking tuff in prefight. "I will mess O'Dell up," Rosario crows. "No blonde bimbo stands up to Rosario Dawson punching - I'll have Jenny out of there in no time." Dawson fit, sleek - rare physical challenge for fitness gal Jenny. "If she fights half as big as she talks, I'm in trouble," quips the blonde. "Rosario's great in the gym, I mean, just look at her - but we're not hooking up in a pose-down. I've paid my dues on the beach and in the FCBA - Dawson better bring more to this fight than her mouth or she's going to get hurt."

Jenny in pale blue bikini, Dawson in leopard print bikini, halter style top, ring connection, slick ponytail.

During R1: Jenny concentrating, up on her toes popping jabs, straight right hands as she scoots to either side. Dawson snarling, pursuing but not cutting off the ring at all - tell-tale sign of street instincts failing a girl in the squared circle. O'Dell keeping it brisk - being first, never standing in front too long, giving Dawson plenty of angles. Final moments - Jenny steps in and dresses Rosario up a gaudy mix of lefts and rights waist and ears: Dawson back on her heels, scowling as Jenny pockets a classy shutout first.

R2: Girls trade shearing rights, come-back hooks and JENNY GOES DOWN!!! Shattering blast torques Jenny's head, drops her hard to her left shoulder - mouth piece flying out of her mouth as she thunders against canvas TERRIBLY hurt. Jenny ragdoll, pathetic as she scrambles to her feet - head lolling, dukes up at her mouth: legs aren't there as ref gives her 8 and WAVES ROSARIO ON IN! Dawson grinning malevolently - Jenny helpless, digs in to receive perhaps the worst beating of her distinguished career. Dawson lusty to the waist - thick, shellacking rights and lefts off Jenny's taut flesh. Dawson hateful to jug, stepping to the right and hook-hook-HOOKING Jenny's rack, pounding those defencless blonde hooters with biting left hands - Rosario exhaling "HAH! HAH! HAH!" as she gets off. Dawson clubbing atop the head, on the jaw, shifting her weight from one foot to the other as she POURS the punishment to Jenny. O'Dell reeling, sliding numb along the ropes - Rosario stepping with, looping lefts and rights on in sheets and JENNY GOES DOWN! O'Dell pounded to her right side parallel to ropes, rolling to her back, head lolling gently side to side - she mindlessly grabs for rope, groggily hand-over-handing herself to her feet. Dawson crowing, exhorting the crowd with aggressive head nods - arms outstretched wide as she prances like a latter-day roman gladiator. Jenny at the bell: bleeding nose, eyes puffing up like inner tubes, mouth open in shock; Dawson loving it - bellowing "NOT EVEN TIRED JENNY - NOT EVEN TIRED! ALL NIGHT LONG BABY!"

R3: O'Dell shaking off the ref and ringside physician, grimly digging in her heels when asked to quit on her stool. Jenny ramshackle, but serviceable - dukes up, shuffling gait as she advances to meet Rosario midring. Dawson grinning, scooting-to, dropping the right low to load up, then sweeping it: Jenny able to slip under, hook the ribs, fit her right hand to sleek mocha belly, then clinch. Sloppy stuff - Jenny holding and hitting in the clinch, refusing to release until ref tugs her arms clear - then she stalks to her right, trying to coax life back into her legs. Dawson snarling, pouring herself at Jen - O'Dell pre-empting Rosario the jab, Jen moving her head well, countering to the body both dukes and hanging on for dear life - punch n' clutch Cat Bell herself would be proud of. Good recovering round Jenny - Rosario squandering herself in brawny, brawling rushes, smothering herself as Jenny walks her into clinches.

R4: More of the same - Jenny getting good leather onto Rosario's ribs, finishing every exchange with a clinch. Dawson clearly frustrated - punching at Jenny's body around blonde's extended arms as O'Dell holds for breaks. Jenny's jab constantly renegotiating terms with Dawson, preventing Rosario from setting and reefing the way she wants. O'Dell crafting her second straight round - still hurting and beat up, but thinking in there, being the experienced vixen, finding ways to bamboozle Dawson through 4.

R5: Rosario up off her stool, bouncing gloves off her firm belly to disparage Jenny's efforts down there, then Dawson storms across the ring to continue the assault. O'Dell crouched, chin tucked, dukes at cheek - she's sliding to her right, then fading - using her feet just enough to keep Rosario from setting. Dawson reaching with shots, absolutely no respect for Jenny - O'Dell shying away from the heat, potting her jab, releasing straight right hands only when they're a sure thing. Midway through, both girls miss right hands, both come back hooks and ROSARIO GOES DOWN! Concussive blast a mirror image of the shot that put Jenny on hurt street in the second - mouthpiece punched off Dawson's teeth and sent across the ring - she sprawls on her back, arms stretched out starfish. IT'S OVER! Jenny chest heaving, eyes glaring from the neutral corner - she takes a sweet, sweet KO5 in vindictive fashion.

After: Dawson brought around in stages - all fluttering eyelashes, parted lips - gingerly moved to her stool and tended to - she's a 180 degrees from the brash young bully who had been having her way with O'Dell just a few minutes ago. Jenny battered nearly unrecognizable, gutting out some nightmarish minutes to overhaul her cocky young foe - it's a watershed performance for the increasingly polished blonde.

"I was hurt," admits Jennifer in postfight, eyes now closed to slits. "To be honest, I thought I was going out - I forget the round - but then the bell rang and I got myself together. I just worked this girl - one minute at a time, tied her up, touched her body, clawed my way back in. You all know I respect my opponents, but as far as I'm concerned? Rosario's a gutless bimbo. One punch - that's all it took to expose this tramp - one good shot and she couldn't take it. She picked the wrong girl to trash talk in a debut - takes more than a bad attitude to make ME roll
