Before: Smoldering rivalry emerging as one of boxing’s best--both girls able to get to the other at any time, neither able to gain complete separation from the other thus far. Jones showing brazen confidence, immediately accepting Ryan’s rematch challenge and predicting another blow out. “Jeri Ryan is an open book to me,” purrs Zeta J in preflight, “She’s a robot, there to be hit, and her chin is not of the highest quality, I now no longer look simply to beat Jeri--I need to lay her down--it’s what I demand of myself when we clash,” Ryan exposed by right hands over her low left last time out--adjustments can be made, but will they? “I won’t underestimate her again,” says Jeri. “Jones can place a right hand and hurt a girl, but that’s all she’s got. I take that away from her and she’s mine for the night.” Jeri in red bikini, CZJ in black string bikini.

During R1: Jeri stuns with the JAB early, banging back CZJ’s face, freezing her feet--Ryan able to step into a short, blockbuster right on the chin, shove a compact left sticky to the sternum and JONES GOES DOWN! Seconds is, CZJ huffing and puffing, scrambling up off the canvas--she takes a gasping 8 and on comes Jeri. Ryan stalking at the ropes--pulverizing Joe Louis short right on her ear, whistle-stop left sticky to the paunch--Jones’s legs give a shimmy as she sits into the ropes. Ryan getting rigid leverage, standing up tall, lowering her mitts and digging right/left/right into Jones’ pale ribs, beating bone beneath the breasts and JONES GOES DOWN! CZJ sobbing for breath on all fours--Ryan’s legs strutting across the view on television with Jones mouth open and on comes Ryan. Brutal tracking attack from Ryan, edging in off Jones’ left shoulder--jolting jab on the cheek, slamming short right hand upside the head, mop-up hook thick in the sternum--Jones shying away along the ropes, crossing her arms in complete break-down. Final minute--HARD right hand on the jaw turns Jones around, sends her wandering, face first to the ropes where she clutches the top strand like a life-preserver. Ryan stalking in, vicious right to the small of the back renders Jones legs inert--brunette slumps into ropes, holding herself up and it’s a sickening beat down from there. Ryan just stamping her fists into the limp body, working her way up the left side and getting everything on a short right hand to the left side of the jaw. Jones spasms, topples back parallel to the ropes and this thing is over. Brutak, cudgeling KO1 Jeri Ryan.

After: Uncanny parallel to Louis/Schmelling continues--Ryan repaying her KO in kind with as vicious a punching performance as ever has been seen in the FCBA ring. Zeta Jones simply stunned by the power, numbed by it, then annihilated by it--heartless blonde hammer-blows sticking thick to the body and cracking unopposed to the head--a glorious Jeri Ryan outing. Ryan not forgetting Jones’ little post fight parade last time out--blonde has to prop and walk the broken brunette--Catherine’s head lolling badly as she weeps piteously, clutching at badly bruised ribs, even as Ryan pulls arms away occasionally to reveal purpling flesh. These girl aren’t just fighting each other--loser of these cvontests is being devoured.
