BEFORE: "I know she's been very reluctant to face me," confident Cole says of Charlize in prefight. "And that's ok - I get it. I'm not some typical ingenue she can steamroll: I've got over 50 fights, and I've been a legend-killer my whole career. Theron knows what I did to Jenny O'Dell, and she's scared that could be her, and you know what? She's right! When I look at Theron now, I see mileage. Miles and miles of hard, hard road. When I think of the sheer number of punches she's taken, I get a warm glow inside, 'cause I know there's no way her legs are as fresh as mine. At some point in our fight, all those punches are gonna catch up to Theron, and she's going to start tanking. She'll know it, I'll know, and you guys'll know it to. That's when I'll put the finishing touches to her and get her done up right for you guys! My little gift to boxing: Charlize Theron on a stretcher!" Theron's first move at podium: handing Cole a signed 8X11 headshot, to chuckles from press row. "Kid's got a way with words, I'll give her that," Theron breezes. "Look, I know Taylor's good. I do think she exaggerates her role in Jenny O'Dell's retirement, but whatever: Taylor did do work there, and I won't take that away from her. But here's the thing: it excites me that she's good. It excites me that they're ALL so good in the lightweight division these days. It's exciting for me to be the underdog again - not scary, because I only see the opportunity in front of me. Many of you don't think I can get past this girl: she's too young; she's too aggressive, too hungry, and yes...many of you think she's too hot for me. That's fine - think what you want before hand, but when I take Taylor Cole down in the ring? I want you to recognize MY aggression, MY drive, MY heat and hunger. Girls like Taylor Cole are bringing out the best in me, not shoveling dirt onto me!" Taylor in purple bandeau bikini; small black gloves; long black hair loose. Charlize in seafoam green bikini; small powder blue gloves; hair in smooth french twist.

During R1: Much stalking and feinting as girls negotiate postion, angle and distance. Theron circling the ring, bouncing herself off ropes, being leggy and loose - casting Taylor in the role of cautious aggressor. Maybe a little TOO cautious - Cole coming forward, but forced to deal with a pesky, flicking blonde jab and sudden, slicing slap-chop right hands off the shoulder...Cole unhurt, but generally reactive in the first.

R2: Ka-BOOM! BLONDE GIRL DOWN! One moment Charlize is coming in off her jab - next moment she's on her face midring, seemingly fast asleep, courtesy a crashing Taylor Cole thunderclap left hook! Cole jogging to neutral corner all excited...big smile turns to a frown as CHARLIZE BEATS THE COUNT! Blonde a shabby wreck, pushing herself up off her tummy, reeling sideways into ropes, head lolling, but ref gives her 8 and waves Taylor on in. Theron glassy-eyed, forming hurting earmuff with butt-in-ropes for support, 'cause HERE COMES COLE! OH LORD, THE BEATDOWN! Taylor pushing her hands on CT to set, then HURLING home righty to ribs; popping hips-right and REEFING in the hooks to flank. Taylor beating Charlize behind her elbows, making her scream in pain, then pushing her upright as blonde girl wilts forward. Taylor leaning in, pasting CT righty across the face - brunette punching her way past limp blonde guard, belting Theron's Oscar-winning head back over top rope, then pushes on her to stack. Cole's body lathering up with sweat - her back shiny as she POURS in the hurt to CT's waist and flanks - it's just one girl taking another out back the woodshed and showing her some hate. Theron groggy, lips parted, eyes in distressed wince - she's tying up in spots, getting pushed off and battered as she covers up...pure survival tactics from Theron. Down the stretch, left uppercut Taylor Cole: BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Jolting shot straightens Theron up, then drops her to haunches-and-palms, her head drooping as she sobs on the spot. Bell: Cole pounding her chest with right hand and screaming down at battered goddess...Academy seconds rush the ring to help a stunned Theron back to her stool!

R3: Theron wincing, shabby, but alert...legs about 75% there as she begins a clockwise step-and-poke routine. Boxing 101 from CT - right hand at her chin as she doubles the left jab chest/face - just a chippy little stick, keeping Cole off balance. Taylor looking to finish, lunging for Theron, but getting pre-empted...blonde able to place the jab accurately, and drop a few choice short right hands to chin as Cole's rushing forward. Plenty of brawny clinches for CT...she's tying up, waddle-walking Cole to ropes and pinning her down for ref's break...veteran blonde runs the clock, gets herself together and keeps Taylor off the scoresheets in the third.

R4: Theron backpedaling under pressure, stops; rips the tidy right uppercut clean to chin as Taylor's pouring in and DOWN GOES COLE! Taylor picked up hard, dropped to all fours by a timing-counter...Theron grins down on the strut past, appreciating Taylor's trembling back. Cole up, buzzed but alert, lifting mitts to chest to await CT at ropes. HAMMER AND TONGS! Blonde wades in, sets up off brunette bow and starts throwing hands: Cole in the pocket, covering up at her temples, then blasting back in spots. CT keeping weight on right (back) leg while pinging out pesky left hands - just tapping and cuffing at Cole's beautiful face, keeping her occupied then PASTING her straight right hands to chin, or wide, rubber-hose right hands to flank-rib. Every once in a while, Theron will dip the left shoulder, shift weight to left (front) leg and feed Taylor a limber, whacking left hook across the midsection - blonde girl really getting hips/back into these succulent left hand licks. Bell: Cole battered, but unbowed, holding Theron's gaze as girls stare each other down.

R5: Cole forward behind her jab, striking Theron across her waist/chest as blonde girl's backing up. Charlize retreating to ropes, holding a very high guard, laying back on the strands...she's inviting Taylor to simply wade in, lower her head and wail away to body. Cole obliging - enjoying many 4 and 5 punch whirling bursts - just smashing away at hips/ribs/paunch until Theron elects to spin out of trouble. Down the stretch, Cole walking CT down for the shutout...blonde girl retreating while pinging jabs off Taylor's mouth, then dropping in a slick pull-counter right - lifting the punch up from tummy-height and hacking it down across Taylor's mouth to PUT COLE DOWN! Charlize brightens at the sight of Cole on all fours again - blonde lifting both hands above her head, gloating down. Cole beats the count swaying/blinking...SO disappointed to have let Theron steal the round late.

R6: Theron now boxing-lead - hopping forward in her stance - backhanding in the left jab while weight's on front (left) leg; shifting weight to right leg to cuff a little left hook across; pinging the jab from the backleg, then leaning forward to deliver the driving right. Cole scowling, getting touched up...brunette frequently going to a right-hand-at-left-eye/left-hand-under-right-elbow look to block the incoming. Belly exposed, Taylor is there for whacking lefts and rights as Theron lashes in sidearm rights, or gouges in dip-n'-dig left uppercuts downstairs. Bell: CT looking over Taylor's bruises, purses her lips in mock sympathy.

R7: CT jabs Cole to ropes, works her over as Taylor forms tight hands-at-temples peek-a-boo guard. Theron flat-footed, bending at the waist...she's pestering with the jab - tapping at Taylor; knocking at her; cuffing her hooks, then PLACING heavy right hands wide-n'-whippy to the body; tipping torso-right to whack the left hook snappy to body as well. Cole grimacing, under siege...she'll hack back clubbing shots from her temples, catching Theron hard rights and lefts about the cheeks, but blonde girl won't back off. Theron just working, varying speeds on all punches to keep Taylor guessing, scoring body and head throughout the round. Bell: Charlize steps back, puts thumbs together like she's framing Cole in a picture, then shouts: "Cut! Print!" Cole? Fuming, hurting.

R8: Exact same thing - Theron jabbing Cole to ropes, standing off brunette bow and working rangy from middle distance. Cole in that rigid earmuff, hacking back in spots, but it's CT being relaxed, staying busy, touching her girl, mixing in hard licks with pesky stuff. CT's hands chest high as she works - left hand constantly prodding, cuffing palm-down hooks; backhanding pesky jabs - all to set up the thudding right hands to body, or the withering hooks downstairs. Cole busting up nicely - often catching CT some cracking good shots to cheekbones, but rarely following up as blonde keeps the jab in brunette line-of-sight.

R9: Same again, only this time, Cole loops in overhand righty to put Theron wobbly butt, forcing blonde to clinch rather than punch. Taylor wrestle-reversing Theron into ropes...leads to sloppy holding and hitting as girls thread left arms under opposing rights, digging away righty underneath. Fight tumbles along ropes girls alternate top position...ref rarely issuing breaks since fighters are working in the grasp. Cole able to jam away right hands to jaw while wrapped up in the semi-clinch...Theron trying to hide her chin by dipping her head down past Taylor's left shoulder in the scrum.

R10: Cole bullying CT to ropes: accidental headbutt clips CT under left eye; pair of tuff right hands tucked into her tummy puts blonde butt in ropes. Cole mauling inside - reaching under Theron's arms to stack, then brawling away - hitting Charlize with as much forearm and fist in close-quarters slugging. Charlize frowning, sullen from sweaty rough-house: she's leaning back into ropes, fitting Taylor for close-in right uppercuts as brunette's always pressing weight-forward. Sloppy, tummy to tummy mauling - Cole writhing to maintain top position, tying Theron up, pinning her, pushing her, then punching her. Blonde frazzled, worked over this round, but smart enough to tie up around Cole's head or arms to slow pace...Cole takes the 10th, but it's UD10 Charlize Theron.

After: Charlize immediately fronting on Cole after having arm raised in victory...CT nodding, taunting, making sure Taylor heard the scores as sullen Cole fumes in response. Officials intervene as termpers flare...Theron laughing off Taylor's threats while in-ring interviewers get organized. "So much for the 'mileage'," Theron breezes, face scuffed and puffy, but spirits soaring. "She knocked me clean out in the second round - don't remember getting up or finishing that heat, but when I came-to in my corner, I knew that was her best stuff, and I'd survived it. See, that's not mileage, that's experience. I know when a girl's moved all-in too early, and I know how to take advantage. I wore her out because I CHOSE to take her deep: could have finished her of course, but she earned that beating from me tonight. To all the other young guns, I say 'Who's next?' Taylor's as good as anyone under 30, and look what I did to her: RUINED!"
