Before: Meester reportedly taking short money just to make this rematch: she's desperate for Brittany. "It just kills me that because of the last fight, people think Brittany's better than me," Leighton explains, big brown eyes wide with angst. "That really bothers me, because everyone in boxing knows Snow got lucky - but she's been milking her win like a little whore ever since. That result won't stand: I'm better, and I'll prove it." Snow upbeat, relaxed - thumb firmly pressing down on Meester in prefight conferences. "I'm loving this rematch," Brittany smiles. "My manager says Leighton's the best target in my demographic and that if I can kick her buns every few months, then that's what I should do! After this fight though, I think that'll be it for Meester. She's pretty and quick, but she's not tough enough - doesn't have the heart for this. Leighton's the kind of girl who needs her friends to soften you up first before she moves in. Sucks for her that it's just the two of us in that ring." Snow in ivory white lace push up; white bikini bottoms; white gloves; tan UGG boxing boots to midcalf. Meester in emerald lace push up; fun, jazzy print bikini bottoms (greens, yellows, mauves, blues); black gloves; tan boxing moccasins to midcalf.

R1: Snow wades into Meester, backing brunette up a series of tight-arc rights and lefts to lungs in walking barrage. Leighton hits ropes, clinches; ref's break. Another barrage up the middle drives Meester across ring: ropes; clinch; break. By minute mark - Leighton's getting the jab out, turning at the ropes to keep her back free: Snow gradually being jabbed into compliance, forced to cover up and crouch. Down the stretch, Leighton stepping confidently midring - popping poke, moving to either side as Snow bobs/blocks/takes. Rapid fire one-twos from Leighton impressive: lips curled off teeth; firm body hardening as she tenses on delivery; piercing, straight punches partially blocked by Snow's high guard.

R2: Leighton quickly in charge via the jab: Brittany crouching down, dukes at temples, trying to weave-under. Meester's eyes intense; right near her mouth; left chest-high, triggering out stiff poke. Meester sliding to her right, keeping the jab on Brittany, then fitting her for straight, jarring right crosses poured in smooth over Snow's left shoulder. Series of ringing connects to chin - little Brittany turning into Leighton's right hand again and again: Snow starts to unravel. Half way point - Leighton shifts right, drops the one-two tart to chin: BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Quick knocking strikes shake Brittany, then put her to all fours: Leighton breezes past, glancing down pretty. Snow takes 8, comes off ropes in earmuff: Leighton jabs the guard; steps in close for a short right uppercut mitt-splitter; turns over a compact hook (palm-down) and BRITTANY'S DOWN! Tic-tac-toe brunette punching puts Brittany on her buns: little blonde blinking up in astonishment, seated with legs in a widespread A, hands behind her on canvas.

R3: Snow a little ragged - uncertain: Leighton ups tempo. Meester finding Brittany's face with jabs - then leaning in to gouge hooks to midsection: Snow grunting, stooping forward behind mitts in pain. Meester senses hurt, stays in close: she's looming over Brittany, shoulders rotating to propel short-shrugging hup-hup into blonde tummy, jugs. Snow baby-stepping forward, absorbing: Leighton working hard, backing up in good order, letting her blonde stumble into hurt. Snow answering in spots, but Meester viciously countering: Leighton baring her teeth and tearing off combinations to keep Snow covered up. When Snow's not trying to punch, Leighton's comfortable edging in - chin against blonde scalp while busy fists chug up underneath. Bell: Snow blinking back tears; Leighton brightens at the sight.

R4: Leighton quickly atop Snow with the jab - really knocking Brittany's face back off her gloves as blonde head movement now non-existent. Snow stumbling forward, wanting to punch, but Leighton denying Brittany access inside. Meester showing the class to touch Snow while backing up, then showing the aggression to come forward and outwork her: Brittany getting chewed up coming and going. Down the stretch, Leighton snapping off combinations after jabbing: Snow's a confused beauty, covering up earmuff and crouching forward. Meester steps in close, pumps a right in under Snow's left elbow, sending a shimmy down Brittany's legs. Leighton tilts to her left, both hands lightly atop Snow's head to hold her down - then it's a digging left hook in behind Brittany's right elbow. Snow's crying, cringing: Meester tilts to her right, smiling as she digs another right hand up in underneath while riding left hand atop Brit's head. Tilting left, Leighton rides her right hand lightly atop Brittany's head; picks her up a short, clipping left uppercut, punching Brittany flush to face. Sputtering descent, Brittany Snow - first to all fours, then to face-and-knees as her arms give way, lifting her butt into the air as grinning Leighton struts past. That's it for Snow: she sits back on her haunches, hugging herself in tears. KO4 Leighton Meester.

After; Resounding, redemptive victory, Leighton Meester: she shows sharp punching, impressive skills for a young fighter as Snow looks a plodder in comparison tonight. Meester radiant - beaming and flashing those happy doe-eyes, dark-tanned skin glowing as she struts around: Snow a stark contrast, miserable and blubbering on her stool. LEIGHTON WANTS MORE! Meester pushing her way through Snow's people to help Brittany up: stunned, weepy blonde tugged out for a scalding walk of shame...with a twist. Leighton with an arm around Brit's waist initially, then ordering Snow to stand behind with one hand clutching Leighton's waistband. Meester slow-struts with Brittany trailing her - sniveling blonde's right hand holding Leighton's bottoms by the waistband as Leighton waves/blows kisses with both hands. BLONDE! Magazine heatedly denouncing the so-called 'prison-walk' as Meester co-opts a little tradition from the US penitentiary systems for her own purposes.
