BEFORE: "It's a good time to move on Summer," veteran Julie assesses coolly in prefight. "She's hurting emotionally after Laura; she got bullied, really worked on, and I doubt she's all the way back from that. Sucks to be Sum, but I'm pouncing while the pouncing's good!" Glau glowering throughout prefight: she knows Vandervoort's put her on a bit of a bubble here. "It's important to turn Julie back," Summer acknowledges, "because she's being opportunistic, and you can never let vultures get to you. And that's all Julie is: a vulture." Julie in baby blue lace bra and panties; hair in ponytail with strand-bangs bracketing face; small white gloves. Summer in black bra style bikini; small black gloves; hair in loose/soft curls. Sidebar: in negotiations for fight, Team Benz had suggested white-fur rabbit-belt mitts: Summer vetoed, saying - "No: I want her to cut." Harsh!

During R1: Summer uncharacteristically aggressive - wide stance - reaching out with left hand to peck jabs at full extension to Julie's face. Slinging, elastic right hands follow in fluid succession: Julie blocking, retreating to ropes against Summer's lanky reach. Routine, rubbery one-twos keep Julie occupied upstairs: hesitation left hook off the one-two BITES a chunk out of Julie's sternum a minute in, buckling her knees! Benz hurt...Sum patient: long arms reach in one-two; lashing hesitation hook tests Julie's body again; one-two peppers at Julie; hesitation hook taps across Benz' brow...Summer's rangy fists a constant menace. Benz frowning, blocking/rolling in the pocket...after two minutes of getting raked, she jots a straight right to Summer's chin - getting it again a moment later: Glau forced to back off as Julie's fully recovered from early difficulty.

R2: Sum reaching out that looong left arm - patting a jab against Julie's breasts; flicking it again to mouth from the extended arm position. Benz frowning, trying to negotiate distance, but Summer's always got something nibbling at face/worrying at jug, keeping Julie defensive. Off these nuisance pokes and flicks up top, Summer's getting whippy leverage on buggy-whipping right hands above Julie's left hip, or gouging left hooks to tummy/ribs...Sum with weight forward on left leg, just reaching out and getting touches. Benz trying to lunge for her rival, but Summer's too bendy: Glau leaning onto back (right) leg just out of range, often fetching Julie a trailing hook just to keep blonde girl wary. Down the stretch - Sum attacking Julie along ropes: Glau's rangy one-two gets blocked up top; hesitation hook rips at Julie's breadbasket, sitting blonde girl into ropes with stricken expression at bell.

R3: Julie chopping out her jab while stepping counter-clockwise...Sum turning, reaching on right hands: blonde girl able to walk brunette into short, chopping rights to chin as a result. Sum touched up, coming forward...Julie able to work at closer ranges, putting punches together against tummy/tits/chin. Midway through, Summer's badly rocked when a Benz left hook turns Glau's chin hard to port: Summer's turn to stumble to apron, looking frazzled. Julie patient, smart on follow up - occupying Summer via the jab up top, but leaning into pounding straight right hands down into midsection. Summer grumpy at bell: hard-spanked amidships and wobbly butt through 3.

R4,5: Active rounds featuring two way work after moments of maneuver: Summer in leggy circles; Julie cutting off the ring, jabbing her way inside. Glau tightening up stroke as Benz closes: Summer's dukes at chin/elbows in - she's curling uppercuts in licking strokes, then reaching down and to the left to strap in rangy hooks-to-body. Julie choppier with her shots - often landing one-two short-n'-tuff to Summer's face. Benz also putting consistent investment into Glau's breasts - hooking at them; slap-chopping 'em righty from close range. Tough to score, competitive rounds...judges give Julie the 4th, Summer the 5th.

R6: Julie yanks back the initiative, jabbing Summer to apron, staying atop her methodical. Benz: head lowered/chin tucked; left hand reaching 'round Glau's right shoulder, preventing escape; right hand clubbing helpless breasts; smiting chin; working the ribs. Glau getting bruised up: she's elbows-in/dukes-up, butt-in-ropes for the most part, sponging up Benz' offerings. Final moments feature concussive punching from Julie as blonde girl squares away, works sleek brunette waist LEFT/RIGHT/LEFT/RIGHT/LEFT/RIGHT at bell. Julie pushes off, whirls away as gurgling Summer hugs battered guts, slumping on ropes in the aftermath.

R7: Julie pressing her attack, getting terms at close range - blonde girl able to press her head against Summer when Julie's not punching. Glau proving willowy-tuff - keeping elbows in/hands up, licking back curling uppercuts or swiping hooks ear-to-chin on Julie. Systematic stuff from Benz: right/left cutting across Summer's waistline; digging hooks scrounging for points in Summer's ribcage; slap-chop rights taking inventory of Summer's breasts; ringing hooks and stubby right hands scoring to Summer's jawlines. Glau absorbs, fights back in spots, but she's looking disheveled and cranky during break.

R8: Same again - Summer standing in with Julie, licking and lashing shots back at blonde tormentress - but all fighting taking place at close range as per Julie's insistence. Benz taking Summer's uppercuts inside in exchange for hacking shots back and forth across breadbasket - Julie just cutting her fists palm-up across flat belly, wearing Summer out. From there, it's: digging left uppercuts up under Summer's right breast; hooks and slap-chop righty for Summer's jugs; clubbing clouts about Glau's head and shoulders. Advantage Julie: she's using Summer up in the exchanges.

R9: Summer lopes to her right, re-establishing distance this round: whole different fight at Julie tries to press forward against Summer's rangy jab. Glau rotating, keeping her distance for first minute as Julie walks into touches...when Benz backs off to regroup, Summer's hopping forward in wide stance - reaching in that pesky left jab; slinging home the long righty; hesitating as Julie crouches in earmuff, then PAK! Summer feeds Julie the hesitation left hook wide n' whippy to body. Benz grumpy, lips tight, eyes narrowed as she tries to find answers: Summer has her leggy way bell to bell.

R10: Julie taking a page out of Mish Williams' book - getting a rolling start before the bell as ref's back is turned...Glau tackled into her corner before her stool's totally removed from ring! Julie taking no chances - smearing her supple foe against ropes, securing Summer before holding and hitting her. Summer whining in protest, trying to wriggle her arms in under Julies and push her off...ref finally issues break to end the mauling. Minute mark - Summer stepping to her right along apron - Julie shadowing her...Benz pawing the jab, threatening jug, obliging Summer to block, then RIGHT HAND JULIE BENZ! Julie bending in and down, PLOWING Summer a straight right poke flat to midsection. Glau crying out, sitting stricken in ropes: she's hurt, desperate to clinch. Julie muscling Summer into ropes, bullying her, jostling her...blonde girl patient - knows she's got control: she's bodying Sum into ropes, pushing left shoulder into brunette breasts, then slugging Summer right hands to midsection to keep her cranky. No-frills Julie taking no chances: left arm in under Summer's, holding Glau steady; right hand shoving into bendy brunette body/jamming onto jaw in tight...Glau too proud to quit or go down, but she's hurt, and she suffers for her bravery. Bell: Julie makes sure of Summer with an extra right buried deep to sleek Summer tummy - ref pulls blonde girl off with a pointless warning late. Comes back UD10 Julie Benz.

After: Scrappy fight both ways: Julie figures out the enigma of Summer, slowly imposes will over the latter half of fight. "You could hear my fans at ringside shouting 'Dig at her tummy, Jules! Dig at her tummy!'" Benz chuckles in postfight. "So everyone knew what we had to do. Against Summer, you need to take her legs away as soon as possible. You can't wait on her or she'll potshot you, but that's easier said than done...took me a couple of minutes to work my way in on her so I could take charge. She's whippy and it hurts when she lashes punches at you, but she's not strong: you need to get hands on her; put tummy on her; make sure she's feeling you all the time. She was pretty combative, I'll give her that - don't think Laura broke this girl's spirit...but I was the better woman tonight, no question."
