Before: "It's not just about beating Kate," a serious Sarah C says at the podium. "I have the chance to break the spirit of their whole squad. I'll batter Kate and deflate the HMK bench - really suck the wind out of their sails. And, I'll give my own girls a boost in the process; we'll finally see that I'm the heart and soul of Foxfire - the real leader. Breaking Kate Bosworth is just one piece of the puzzle." Bosworth unruffled in rebuttal: "Might wanna try the decaf there, Sarah," Katie quips. "Seriously, she's right about one thing: opening the series is a big responsibility - I think we're both looking to set the tone. Unlike Sarah, I don't see an opportunity to crush Foxfire with my performance: I know this fight's going 10 hard rounds, and the girl who's done the best cardio's going to win. It's about consistency, preparation and conditioning - not about aggressive grandstanding." Sarah in gold bikini; long low ponytail with bangs framing face; small black work out gloves. Kate in black bikini; small black work out gloves.

During R1: Darting in-and-out - both girls quick on their toes, baiting-and-switching midring. Carter slashing in early, pressing the pace: Bosworth composed, sliding back from pressure in good order, balancing herself to counter. Midway through - Kate lures Sarah into pouncing: Bosworth fades it, walks Carter into a firm hook-to-chin - sending Sarah stumbling to her left. Carter dismayed, shaken - good short lick has her legs rubbery. Sarah runs the rest of the round - Kate cautiously shadowing, but taking no risks to get Carter into more trouble.

R2: Same quickness - combatants twitch-feinting each other - stepping out to walk-around - pounce/counter-pouncing each other. Not a lot of clean contact - very lithe competitors anticipating each other well, either legging out of harm's way, or slipping shots on the spot. Sarah a little busier - touching up Katie's ribs with batting combos at times: Bosworth outworked while looking for another clean chin-check.

R3: Kate presses - jabbing Sarah to the perimeter, stalking her. Carter scowling - loping to her right - ponytail tossing side to side as she stays nimble. Bosworth jabbing to Sarah's body - stepping in for sudden bursts of leather: Carter bouncing back into ropes, elbows in, twisting-with the incoming. Bosworth in complete control through 2 minutes - gets a dose of her own medicine late. Sarah at apron, slips under a Bosworth right - coming up on Kate's right flank and hooking Bos wide in the back. Kate turning to square-up - trades hook/right hand with Carter with Sarah in much better position: BOSWORTH GETS DROPPED! Bang-bang punching on the face stuns Katie, sitting her awkwardly down with left arm on bottom rope for support.

R4: Kate recovers well, but Sarah's regained initiative. Carter aggressively across the ring, eyes hard, menacing Kate in puncher's-crouch. Bosworth defensively cute in her corner - backing into one set of ropes, repelling from there to adjacent ropes - slipping punches and nipping back short, swiping shots in receipt. Carter nibbled about her hairline and eyebrows, but staying on top - entire round plays out in the HMK quarter of ring - Carter cutting off Kate's escapes, driving her back into ropes - stroking her body. Sarah unleashing her first buggywhip right hands against Bosworth's ribs: smarting blows bringing up painful pink blotches on Kate's pale torso.

R5: Sarah aggressively at Kate again - Carter looking to extend the engagements and trade; Bos looking to disengage, walk Sarah into hurt. Carter hunting Kate, forcing bitter bursts of two-way combat all around the ring. Slender vixens remain elusive even at close range: both adept at changing level with torso-movement; twisting to roll-with incoming; slipping under shots and slashing back. Cruel licks now accumulating on both ribcages as girls recognize the difficulty of head-hunting. Carter the busier - always stepping-to and walking Kate down: Bosworth looking a trifle vexed - unable to dictate terms through 5.

R6: Sarah attacks, outclasses Kate. Carter's pounce electrifying Kate - Bosworth struck by lead right hands or whippy hooks as Sarah gambles early. Kate showing earmuff, bending forward behind her mitts: Sarah deploys savage buggywhip right hands in above Kate's left hip - hitting slender blonde with wince-making thump. Bosworth's stoic face breaks, betraying body-hurt as she shies away grimacing: Carter hopping-after, eagerly seeking fresh contact. Kate hurt midway through by a slicing right to her left eyebrow: Bos able to tough it out at the ropes, clinch for ref's break and compose herself. All Carter to the bell - Kate doing well to refresh her legs, run the clock to yield the shutout. Big grin Sarah - flashed first to the HMK bench, then to her own cheering section en route to her corner.

R7: Sarah feints, Kate bites and Carter scores a ringing bait-and-switch right hand on left eye, buckling Bosworth's legs. Kate driven to ropes - she covers up face-in-gloves, elbows in - she suffers terribly as Sarah squares away to bat shivering lefts and rights against lithe Kboz torso. Breathless Kate able to clinch for ref's break - circling off the ropes: her mouth's open, left eye swelling as she legs away. Sarah in hot pursuit - body-jabbing Kate to ropes, then clawing at her in supple combinations - ponytail twitching across her backbone as fists flash against defensive Kate. Bosworth hurt - rolling punches at the ropes: she's not answering back, starting to get worked over as Sarah romps bell to bell for back to back shutouts. PONYLASH! Demoralized Kate breathing hard at the bell, totally unprepared as Sarah whirls away, drawing that breath of blonde hair across Bosworth's tender face.

R8: Sarah mounting aggressive, full-on attacks now, pressurizing Kate to ropes and fighting her there. Bosworth digging in, baring her teeth: Kate showing tremendous resilience, getting herself together. Bitter, flyweight hammer and tongs: Sarah snarling as she lathers her foe, body and legs humming with effort: Kate covering up to absorb, then lashing back, stroking Sarah across her abdomen or occasionally clouting her face. Vicious, tearing stuff - the girls so lithe and lean - bending, twisting, straightening up pretty into some shots; curling down low into others. Sarah encountering fierce resistance, but matching it with tremendous determination: Carter able to outwork Kate again as small mitts bounce off taut bodies bell to bell.

R9: Kate firming - able to stay off the ropes and engage Sarah in lively, darting combat midring. Girls feinting, then coming in - each leading with hooks or crosses in hopes of hurting the other. When both elect this strategy, clean contact doesn't happen: only when they close to work at each other toe-to-toe do gloves clap and bite with venom. Glorious stuff down the stretch - both women digging at each other's midsections, then curving in short-arc uppercuts through the middle. Bell: they're still at it - clawing and lashing away at each other until ref takes a hand.

R10: Sarah feints, Kate bites: Carter's right hand clangs home to chin, nearly sending Bosworth to her knees. Kate staggers out of it, tries to lift a left uppercut into Sarah's stomach as Carter's rushing in: Sarah's overhand right chops to chin, swivelling Kate's head, sending her ropeside. Sarah's eyes ablaze: she squares away, elbows close to her body as she churns punches, looking to lather Kate into submission. Bosworth battered and buffetted, but rolls out of it and COMES BACK PUNCHING! Kate snarling as she hoists a right uppercut to Sarah's ribs, then hooks Sarah's mouth late. Carter rocked, tries to regain control with slugging lefts and rights - gets beaten to punches and STAGGERED! Sarah's hurt, loose, swaying slightly; wobbly-butt Kate staggers off ropes, helping herself to Carter's chin with free-swinging clout! Carter's flabbergasted - on her heels - pushing back weary arm punches and PASTING KATE'S FACE! Bosworth willing to be cuffed for the chance of continuing her own torrent of wallops either side Sarah's jawlines. BELL! Reeling beauties still at it - slapping each other with open-gloves as ref moves in. Comes back UD10 wide - Sarah Carter!

After: Carter crying out "YES", clenching fists at her chest in exultation: she rips Kate Bosworth for 8 rounds with one even as Bosworth is simply outfought much of the night. Kate's spirited tenth denies Foxfire that hoped-for dampening effect - but the happy, jumping mob around Sarah is clearly bubbling over with enthusiasm. Carter grants momentum to her side, carving up a very good HMK fighter to open the series
