BEFORE: Study in contrasts going in - Aly all big, bold, brassy, cocky, friendly with press; Rachel self-assured, quietly confident, more business-like in demeanor. "Aly's an imposing bantamweight," Rachel admits in prefight. "Easily the most physical presence since Missy, with Missy's size and strength, but faster, less predictable and more agile. Frankly, it's a hell of a challenge...which is why I've brought in a special consultant to give me deeper insight into Aly's game. Come on out here AJ!" Aly's sister AJ Michalka emerges from behind curtain, giving a little sheepish shrug to gobsmacked Aly before taking a seat on the Foxfire side of the dais. It's a classic Rmac psyche job, rendering the normally bubbly Aly mute for several moments before rebuttal.

"I WAS fighting Rachel because I need more elite scalps on my record," Aly manages upon composing herself. "But she's gone and made this personal. Now it's about pain for Rachel; making Rachel feel and look old in that ring. If it was your job to make me mad, Rache: mission accomplished. I'm gonna embarrass you in this fight. Then it's gonna be lights-out, baby." Prim smile, cold eyes from Rachel...she's in under Aly's skin from the outset.

Michalka in purple bikini; black gloves; blonde ringlets loose. Rachel wearing Laura V's lucky midnight blue bikini from Into the Blue, auburn hair up with ringlets framing face; powder blue gloves.

Noteworthy staredown/ring instructions...Aly warming up on the spot - slapping her thighs; jumping up and down; shaking out her quads; sexy-dancing all hips and shoulders on the spot, showing Rachel a HUGE, here-I-am smile like the boxing equivalent of Michelle Jenneke...Rachel singularly unamused at the youthful exuberance. Staredown segment goes viral on youtube in days to follow.

During R1: Rachel mounting pressure early, storming forward via straight left/rights. Aly lithe, fading back in good order, walking Rachel into a quick-chopping right hand pull-counter - Aly spanking on Rachel's face like a mini Charlize Theron with the slick, stitch-quick delivery and DOWN GOES MCADAMS! Rachel sputtering to hands-and-haunches, eyes wide...Michalka strutting like Jagger to neutral corner, throwing hair off her shoulders, tossing arms out to the side and dropping her head back to radiate magnificence as poor Rachel's pushing up off the deck. Upon resumption - Rachel's hurt; Aly's stalking her...blonde girl menacing redhead all along the perimeter. Michalka sleek, supple in her stance - left hand dangling, right at her chest as she stoops forward...she'll feint, then jab jug; feint, then twitch the lead right cross to mouth; she'll extend left to push at Rachel's forehead, then bend in to lash the right hand buggywhip to body. McAdams breaking down, wincing and grimacing as she steps to her right along ropes. Cruelly, Aly will grin and taunt: "C'mon Rache...take a shot" - mugging forward with her chin...woozy Rachel will try - coming up short on counter hooks or uppercuts - then pay dearly as Aly drills home pinpoint counters to head. Down the stretch, Rachel looks to make a round-saving rush, but once again, Aly's sleek legs absorb the pressure, backpedalling effortlessly to draw Rachel on, this time into swiping hook-on-chin action. DOWN GOES RACHEL! McAdams dropped to all fours at bell...prancing Aly all sunny and untouched, strutting to midring, taking a strong A-frame stance, crossing her arms all Disney-Gangsta after lighting a former champ up 10-7.

R2: Rachel proves elite. Job 1: shake off the hurt and regroup like a champ during the break. Job 2: pressure smart behind the jab - stubby poking Aly face and tummy, driving her to ropes. Job 3: work when Aly lays back on cables in full head-protect earmuff. Rache crowding in close with head on Aly's chest, nullifying Michalka's agility - pounding the waistline and ribs both mitts to take a little spring out of those lethal blonde legs. Michalka arrogantly giving up her tummy, letting Rachel wail, then tying up...ref issuing breaks, pushing Rachel back to reset. McAdams maintains pressure - jabbing Aly into ropes; stepping into a thumping right hand low to left-side ribs; crowding close with head-on-chest while busy hands bang away. Michalka increasingly disheveled, flustered...she's tying up head-and-elbow on Rache, getting ref's breaks, but redhead keeps tempo high, maintains position, continues to punish the Michalka torso. Down the stretch, Rache scrapes away tight right uppercuts in close, shaking Aly up...Michalka elects to slug off the ropes, trading a loose right uppercut for a SLAMMING right cross to her chops...blonde girl hurt, sprawling loose on ropes. Aly folds forward behind her mitts...Rach accepts Aly's head onto her chest, dips left and fits two SNUG left hooks PIK! PIK! in behind Michalka's right elbow...BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Aly dropped cringing to all fours, eyes shut tight, teeth grimacing...Rachel finds liver at bell to claw-back one knockdown through 2.

R3: Aly: wide stance, back (right) heel up off canvas; right hand up high, palm out; left hand low, palm-down as Aly's leaning forward. Rache stooping forward in earmuff, but wary...Michalka stitch-quick out of her stance snap-darting that right hand to Rachel's hairline; up-jabbing Rachel's chest - blonde legs stepping Aly out and around all lithe and slick. McAdams not shutout...clever veteran bobbing her head well, picking her spots to stubby-jab in and whirl to the body...blonde showing more respect now by immediately disengaging and sidestepping rather than retreating into ropes and giving up her tummy. Aly's round...the legs, length and darting quickness making negotiations extremely tough for Rachel.

R4: Same as the third - Aly with the high-low hand position, the wide stance, the springy legs...she's just stitchin' and swipin' - one or two punches, then shifting to fresh canvas, resetting in position to walk Rachel in. McAdams wary, keeping a tight earmuff and bobbing on the spot...very difficult for her to close and get much work done as Aly dictates through 4.

R5: Same again...Aly menacing Rachel with the high-low, forward-leaning aspect - quick-stepping out to reset in fresh positions all around the ring. Rachel held at the end of Aly's darting licks...redhead rushes frequently pre-empted by straight-pinging right hands to forehead, or cutey-pie hook-and-pivot routines from limber Aly. Terrific eye-hand coordination for Michalka as she lands deft timing-strikes to Rachel's pretty face; great chin showed by McAdams as she lunges into lickin's through 5.

R6: Aly in forward aspect still, but peskier with the left hand...she's pepper-flicking her jab, nibbling at Rachel's head and guard, setting up that sidearm buggywhip right to redhead lats PAK! Aly rotating clockwise around her jab, counterclockwise after slapping home the right to Rachel's body...redhead constantly adjusting her feet to stay square. From the midway point on, Aly starts coming in off the jab - bolo-punching the right uppercut to Rachel's midsection, then leaning away hands-low as McAdams deals with gut-ache. Aly frequently dangling hands at her sides - playfully lifting one or the other to push on Rachel's guard, then slap-clouting her the free mitt. Rachel spitting back jabs and straight right hand receipts...Aly tick-tock weaving this work with her long torso side to side, using her hands to slap aside any shots ticketed for her body. Down the stretch, Rache over-extends in pursuit, eats a perfectly timed, limber left uppercut off the thigh as Aly arches her back, pops hips-right to tug Rachel's chin. McAdams stepping in fence-post holes, eyes frowned shut in pain...bell sounds as Aly's making giant circles with her right arm, getting ready to administer a circus punch.

R7: Rachel rallies from hurt again, comes out focussed. Spitting double and triple jabs get Rache close...she tucks the right hand up into Aly's ribs, then whirls away lefts and rights to torso until Aly can either clinch or escape. Michalka rushed, frowning...she can disengage, but she's missing her potshot counters, allowing Rachel to get inside and work. Fight travels the ring, hits the ropes...shorter Rachel doing a good job of always being on top - pushing Aly's hips; throwing the left shoulder into Aly's tits; grinding away head-on-clavicle while fists pump paunch. Michalka grimacing, grumpy, tying up behind elbows...she's getting harassed/outworked as Rachel executes her fightplan.

R8: Aly in forward aspect, hands low...she'll lather Rachel supple rights and lefts off the hips while backpedalling, but once Michalka's back hits ropes, she covers up and Rachel takes over, beating blonde body until clinched. Crowd-pleasing rhythm and styles...Aly flat footed, turning her body into lithe, clouting rights or lefts as Rachel encroaches...blonde spanking her redhead's ribs or ears while stepping back in good order, getting legs and back into shellacking wallop. Rachel weaving through the storm, jabbing to chest en-route, then working hard as Aly backs into ropes...redhead plowing blonde tummy left/right/left, then coming up top via close-range, scraping uppercuts to test Aly's guard. Down the stretch, Aly's not even clinching - just dropping hands to sides, tucking chin behind either shoulder and rolling Rachel's shots. McAdams hitting a lot of arm and hip against the Michalka pocket-illusions...Aly licking back the odd limber uppercut as the lays back into ropes, or stooping low to put a shoulder in Rachel's gut, nudging her backward. Bell: McAdams finally tags Michalka a stout right to jaw in close, stunning her blonde...redhead follows through with a late left hook to breadbasket that has all of House Bazz on it's collective feet, shouting for justice. Tough to score round probably tips Rachel's way: she's working hard whether she lands or not...Aly doing a lot of cutey-pie defensive showboating.

R9: Grim, attritional fighting as Michalka looks to impose size and rangy goodness via heavy handed step-and-slog...Rachel looking to worm inside, pump away close to tummy or tits, then seeking to exploit any fatigue as Aly's pulling away hands-low. Aly laying in with left shoulder, pushing on Rachel...blonde holding her mitts in loose stack right atop left at her tummy - twisting her torso side to side to slop wallop to Rache in close, or arching-back to rip left uppercuts. Rachel frequently showing crossed-arm as she bobs on the spot, then answering back ferocious hooks/short-jamming right hands...landing more and heavier to Aly's head now, while continuing to invest mightily in torso. Bruising back and forth...girls just pushing and stumbling around with one another...Michalka's weight of wallop proves decisive by the slenderest of margins.

R10: Aly stepping back while trying to fit Rachel for uppercuts...redhead pouring forward, staying low, driving blonde-girl to ropes. Minute mark, Aly attempting right uppercut off the ropes eats a CRASHING right across the chin...side-to-side head-snapping buckles Michalka's right leg, slumping her woozy into ropes. Rachel looking to finish - her left hand extends to push on Aly's right shoulder as blonde girl's left arm attempt to tie up around Rachel's head...McAdams denies clinch, loops right arm over Aly's left for a partial connect to cheek in brawling, mauling rough-house. Michalka hurt, sliding along ropes, trying to push Rachel off even as McAdams strains to push in...leads to sloppy brawling, holding and hitting. Ref keeping a close eye, but both girls working more than resting or clinching...fighting-in-a-phonebooth as Rachel keeps her head on either Michalka shoulder, daring Aly's uppercuts while plowing away tummy/ribs. Down the stretch, Aly's giving up titanic walloping shots upon either side of her head...curvy legs sponge it up as Michalka sits in ropes for support, then answers back the rangy right uppercut to pick Rachel up tuff. Bell: girls are engaged in mindless hammer and tongs, just a-sloppin'...ref pulls 'em apart for the decision. Comes back 5 rounds a piece - extra knockdown for Aly takes it for her CLOSE.

After: Rachel grimacing at the announcement, shutting eyes tight, tilting head back as Aly's arm is raised. Michalka puffy, beat up, but jubilant...she survives a vaunted Rachel Mac body attack, digs out a spirited victory to claim an elite name. "Just another step up the food chain, boys," Aly grins in postfight, glorious shiner starting to close her left eye. "Rachel was tough - tougher than expected. Normally when I light a girl up early like that, they quit, but this woman doesn't roll like that. Obviously they got good intel out of AJ, which I'm still pissed about - but that's Rachel McAdams all over. She's one of the headiest girls in the game and when you fight her, you need to expect the unexpected."
