BEFORE: "We haven't been looking at a lot of tape on Landry this time," Bridget reveals in prefight. "We know who she is; how she fights. No - this time, my guys have had me watch a lot of postfight footage of girls who've just BEATEN Ali...Theron talking about how yummy it was to batter Ali on the ropes; Talisa Soto so excited when she upset Ali; Liz Hurley laughing at Ali's frustration. There's a great interview with Jenny O'Dell where she's talking about career highlights, and she goes way in-depth about breaking Ali's spirit best-of-7: I've probably watched that 50 times! We wanted to change the image of Landry in my head from this legendary hall of fame champion, to a girl who's basically a trophy victim; a prize worth fighting for. We changed my mindset for this fight, and I think things will be very different this time out!" Landry non-plussed at Regan's effort to dredge up painful memories. "Well, it's a novel approach, I'll give her that," Ali quips at podium. "But studying what my opponents have said and felt should underscore the fact that I always come back. I find ways to win when other women would quit or wear down. If Bridget's seeing me as a trophy, I think she learned the wrong lesson from her tape-study. She should have learned that beating me is special, because it's rare...and it's rare for a reason." Ali in gold bikini; black gloves; hair in loose dark tangly-curls. Bazz obtaining the original Dr. No white bikini (1 of 3 worn by Ursula Andress during the film) for Bridget; white gloves; glossy black hair in tangly-curls.

During R1: Regan dukes at temples, cautious on approach: she yeilds initiative to Ali who directs traffic via stiff pageant jab. Landry getting off strong outside - popping the jab loud against prepared defences; stepping into hook/right cross combos bang-bang off the guard; feinting on the lean-in, then cuffing paunch the hook. Regan out on the end of it, blocking most, absorbing some...patient Landry just circling at will, going through her checklist, collecting touches for points in text-book fashion.

R2: Bridget engages in gun-platform shelling midring: girls in strong, flat-footed stances, standing tall, issuing jabs like broadsides from opposing man-o'-wars. Both faces spanked back by crashing poke - girls pivoting clockwise one step at a time, resetting, then pounding away. Slowly but surely, Landry takes control - pumping her jab to upperchest as well as face; dropping in right hands straight off the shoulder; hooking gut. Ali's incremental progression gradually shutting Regan down: Bridgy finishes up in rigid earmuff, sponging punches at bell.

R3: Same stand-and-deliver boxing: girls just exchanging artillery fire from well dug-in positions. Regan spreads out her jab this round - targeting Ali's pecs as well as face; doubling up poke to startle Ali to mouth. Regan dropping in sledgehammer rights from the shoulder - Ali covering up to receive on the block, but she's still shunted off-stance, allowing Regan to come forward a step. Regan getting to Ali's body late via spearing, straight right hands poured down into stomach...Bridgy collecting opportunistic hooks when grimacing Ali backs away from these tuff body shots.

R4: Ali lays down a thumping carpet of howitzer jabs - masterful stuff as she slow-pivots clockwise, gently turning Bridgy while shelling her stupid. Regan in earmuff - crouching to move her head, but Landry's all dialed in: Ali banging away face-and-pecs - busting Bridgy up despite the guard. From the half-way point, Ali's stepping in strong off the jab - dipping left shoulder/tucking left hook in thick behind Regan's right elbow. Bridget's legs give a shimmy when struck thus: Ali sending a meassge to champ's firm young body through 4. Concerned Regan trainer during the break tells her: "You gotta answer to the body Bridge - don't let her bully you down there. No free touches!"

R5: Ali steppin' and a-pokin', fighting a pageant fight all straight-backed/flat-footed in power-jabbing stance. Sweet left hands finding Bridget's face, busting up her left cheek, lower lip: there's blood on Bridget's mouthguard. Ali hooking off the jab, catching Bridgy to right ear; chucking in the short right tuff to Bridgy's breasts; Landry shortening up as she starts to push forward. Regan outboxed early, but firming late: Landry running into THUDDING right hands to left shoulder and belly, then rocked onto her heels when exchanging hooks. Regan's face all ferocious...Ali takes the round, but Bridgy's temper's finally engaged.

R6: Regan forward off the jab via PLOWING right to breadbasket/short hook across tits...Landry backing up, frowning. Ropes: Landry fighting off the apron, under siege...Regan pumping in straight one-twos up top, then dipping torso-left for a look at Ali's ribs - digging in a short left uppercut behind Landry's right elbow, just beneath right tit. Landry grimacing, feeling Bridgy's weight of shot: Landry trying tentative right uppercuts, then trading hooks, getting knocked back into ropes as Regan dominates the trade. Successive left uppercuts to under-jug region have Landry gasping: bright-eyed Bridgy notices. Down the stretch, Landry tilting forward behind her mitts, butt-in-ropes: Regan squares away, belts the bodkin with both hands spank-bouncing hot off Landry's ribs/flanks to bell. Ali ashen faced, steadying herself with left hand on top rope before trying to walk back to her corner.

R7: Regan jabs Ali into compliance as both girls pound away left hands up top: Landry forced to cover up earmuff, retreat into ropes. Regan stepping-to, feeding Ali the tuff right hand to paunch, followed by chopping left to jug or jaw - trying to slug apart the defences. Ali covered up tight, elbows in: job of work for Regan to slam away on flanks, getting Landry's legs loose at the knee. Regan working hard, then pushing Ali's shoulders to reset her in ropes...starting to be one-sided shove-and-slug as Landry's not answering back. Regan demolishing Ali to body, numbing Landry's legs, then working right uppercuts through the middle to get Ali's face off her gloves. LANDRY'S UNRAVELING! Ali sleepy-groggy, lips curled off teeth thanks to that devastating body work...Regan just workin' it now, pushing on Ali, feeding her harm to the midsection; digging left uppercuts to under-jug; ripping right uppercuts to chin; finishing with hooks. No one punch does it, but steady accumulation of shock reduces Ali in stages until RIGHT UPPERCUT/LEFT HOOK REGAN! Landry swooning back into ropes off the double-shock to chin; extra left hook pounds the mouthpiece off Landry's teeth and DOWN GOES ALI! Slow-slide to her left deposits Landry on left shoulder - she rolls to her belly, stretched out flat with left side parallel to ropes. Regan jumping for joy, jogging to neutral corner...Ali Landry fast asleep, magnificent golden-brown body lying still for the 10 count. KO7 in come-from-behind fashion for the winner and STILL champion, Bridget Regan.

AFter: Regan erasing the points deficit, finally getting out of pageant mode into processing mode: it's a thumping note of supremacy for a young champion still just spreading her wings. "Controlling the welterweight division boils down to two things," a busted up, but upbeat Regan gushes in postfight, "placing Amanda Righetti in check, and dominating Ali Landry. I didn't do that last year: this year, I've 'topped the triangle' on those two, and I've staked my claim. The division is mine now - I've taken it from Amanda, and it's time to start erasing her name from the record books!"
