Before: Krista coming off a career-defining win against former champ Cat Bell, looks to add to her skyrocketing credentials with a another win against steep comp. “It’s unfinished business between Jeri and I,” says confident Kris. “couldn’t quite get to her earlier, but now that I’m cleaning up the division, I’ve got a free night. With Ryan and Bell on my resume, you can’t say I’m not the best lightweight in boxing right now.” Ryan scoffing at Allen’s lofty self-assessment. “Krista catches Cat with a miracle flurry and suddenly Allen’s boxing royalty? I don’t think so. I’m glad she’s swollen headed enough to take this fight--by the time she comes-to, she’s going to realize what a disastrous mistake it was!” Allen in black sports bra, red Calvin Klein boy cut cotton trunks--red bikini Ryan.

During R1: Allen showing leg early, stick and moving--Ryan applying stalking pressure with hardhearted intentions. Midway through, blonde catches up, fixes Krista a bracing jab in the chest and ROCKETS that quick right hand stroke off the shoulder. Appalling head-snap, Krista--feet stamping in fence post holes--she covers up stunned at the ropes as Ryan marauds on in. Jeri batting flank with straight arm rights and lefts--knuckling her left had against Allen’s forehead as the brunette doubles forward, then picks Krista’s face up pretty the curling right uppercut. Jug muggage? You bet--Ryan going there with hooks at the bell to put a woozy put of pain in Allen’s face.

R2: Krista pounding away with some choice, potshot ting right hands, riding ‘em in over Jeri’s jab, then dancing away to use the ring, Ryan coming forward on the stalk, but Allen too cute this round-pesky long jabs, well placed right hands keeping the blonde off balance. Allen doing a nice job exploiting Jeri’s stick even bending her knees and firing a right straight into Ryan’s ribcage.

R3: Jeri shaking off Allen’s leather, setting a murderous pace, menacing Krista around the ring with the constant stalking pressure. Kris getting her right hands, but not really committing to the punch: she’s already stepping away as she gets off. Ryan banging away on the upper chest and lips of her girl with long, harsh jabs, steering Allen to the corners--Krista doing a nice job of popping the right uppercut, spinning to the left to keep her back off the strands., Round to Ryan.

R4: Another fairly close round with Krista getting her touches--but Ryan’s the clear aggressor and harder, more determined puncher. Allen targeting Jeri’s eyes with the jab, but eating stick in return--blonde really stamping home the left, keeping the brunette in retreat.

R5: Allen;s legs finally lose some spring--she’s lolling on the ropes more., setting up to slip and clinch--Ryan walking her down, pounding jabs to the chest and sitting down on tearing rights aty medium distance. Midway through, Ryan detonates a crashing cross off Allen’s chin--brunette ALL shook up, reaching hurt to clinch as Ryan piles her heavy into the ropes. Jeri cleans up: muscular beating to her girl’s sides as Allen folds forward, then bashing away across the lower back, putting tremble in Krista’s curvy legs. Allen blinking back tears at the bell, starting to look shabby: Ryan got to her big time that round.

R6: Krista shows some grit--stepping to spots, trading with Ryan and showing she’s got some pop, Jeri fielding dangerous, clean right hands on her chin as Allen walks into fully extended crosses--brunette landing, pivoting left, often around a cuffing hook for good measure. Jeri punching her right down into Krista’s torso, then turning over the hook, but it’s Allen’s round--good pre-emptive punching and fine footwork the difference.

R7: Jeri doubles up the jab, then slams a withering right hand straight down Broadway--she;s got Allen wobbly butt at the ropes with a TON of time left on the clock. Ryan reaches a hook to the body, gets it to the head, then picks Allen up the curling right uppercut, stunning the brunette all over again. Jeri muscling Krista’s arms to the side, then rampaging to rack--big bashing rights and lefts hammer home, sitting Krista boozy t the ropes. Allen being bullied, sobbing--she reaches for Jeri’s hips to clinch--blonde pounds away past the extended arms as the red move in to break. All Jeri Ryan--pressing the attack, jabbing and stepping with as Allen tries to slide along the ropes--heaving right/left to the flanks and waist, then looking for uppercuts--she’s tuning this girl up. Krista’s beautiful face all smudged and busted up at the bell: Jeri rewarding her with an icy glare before turning away.

R8: Krista showing heart--she’s standing close to the ropes, trading cresses and hooks with Ryan, and punch for punch--it’s a mistake. Jeri just belting it out Krista in hardhearted exchanges--roping her hook across ribs and jugs, planting her right on Krista’s jaw, shaking those world-class legs. Allen teeth bared, fighting hard, but she’s losing velocity--Jeri able to bend in and out, changing distance while maintaining her strong punching stance to pound out the points.

R9: Krista going for broke, nailing Jeri a sneaky lead right, then getting it again as the blonde backs straight up. Jeri stalking forward, but getting potshotted--brunette spending up her legs to get mobile, keep her back off the ropes and circle her quarry. Ryan busting up some around the eyes as Krista extends on pretty right hands and sparkling jabs--blonde happy to keep up the pursuit as she sees the mileage on Allen’s legs adding up. At the bell, Ryan’s shiny ,but Allen’s exhausted, sobbing for breath in her corner.

R10: Hard fought finale, both girls want to be the one to finish strong, Kissing right hands lance back and forth, girls bending in with their crossing punch, then leaning out to get the hook--dangerous back and forth as slobber knocking connects add up. Even, blistering stuff till the final minute--who wants it more? Its Jeri backing Kris up with a right on the mouth, followed by a stroking hook--Allen’s back hit’s the ropes as she can’t stand her ground. All Ryan to the bell, helping herself to that pain-wracked waist, digging her fists into the meat, then clubbing away up top. Krista turtling, turning to present her left side to her foe--Jeri pounds away brutal right hands to the back, tight lefts to the gut as she mops uo the dregs at the bell. Come back UD10 wide, Jeri Ryan.

After: Tough schedule comes back to haunt Krista Allen-perhaps she was a bit full of herself after dismissing Cat bell, lots of close rounds pulled out as Jeri’s power proved decisive: time and again Allen just couldn’t take the withering trade, limping to the bell while Ryan romped, Kris with some good ideas--getting the right hand over Jeri’s jab, but not gambling enough to make it pay. Takes courage to get Ryan into trouble and Allen clearly didn’t want to take risks that might have gotten her stopped. Ryan superb offensively, grinding a very mobile woman down with hearts topping body work, progressing to the chin at every opportunity--she’s back in fine form with this outing.
