BEFORE: Perhaps no fighter in boxing more scrutinized, more criticized by her rivals and peers than Brooklyn Decker. From the "old firm" of Crawford/Banks/Romijn et al howling about lack of dues-paying, to young lionesses like Upton or Tonkin harping on Decker's "protected" status, to stable-irritants like Swan, big Brookie D faces fire from all fronts. "It really doesn't bother me," composed ultra-blonde smiles at podium. "I can only fight one girl at a time, but I'll get to everyone eventually - once I start flattening out the competition, the chatter should die down. The thing is, I truly believe I've got a "Hundred Year" body, so obviously I'm going to draw a lot of fire. But when you talk about who the next Theron is going to be in terms of a two-division, dominant Great Blonde who can take the sport to the next level, I think the discussion boils down to one name: Brooklyn Decker. I've got all the respect in the world for Milena Govich, but she's just a girl. I'm a phenom. Huge difference."

Govich amused - even bemused by Decker's calm, serious discussion of herself as a once-a-century type genetic monster. "You know - Brooklyn's got a lot on her plate," Milena says at podium. "I can see how being a constant target - even in her own gym - would distort a girl's point of view. I mean, can you imagine Serinda Swan glaring at you while you eat or do a weight-check? That's gotta be a distraction. Add to that she's moving up in weight, and I'd like to think in class as well, and you've got a young fighter who's under a terrific strain these days. I'm just thrilled that I'm getting a chance at the big blonde trophy-names now. I worked long and hard to get into position to claim girls like Charlize or Brooklyn - I'm getting the fights now - and I just want to collect the baubles, you know?"

Brooklyn in yellow bikini; white gloves; long blonde hair kinky-damp from shower. Milena in bright royal blue bikini; white gloves; long black hair kinky-damp from shower.

During R1: Gun-platform front for Brooklyn: she's shelling left jabs/dropping in heavy right hands, trying to tag Milena midring. Govich weaving underneath, pounding the ribcage right/left, then fighters close, work, tie up for ref's break. Meaty work on the inside - girls tummy to tummy, walking each other around - ref reefing at rounded biceps to pull 'em apart. Decker gradually taking charge - the jab landing heavily to Milena's face, then as Govich wades inside - blonde-girl loops left arm around Milena's head while backing up, twisting both women chest-first into ropes for break. Brookie warned for the headlocks as she grinds out a muscular first round.

R2: Same big-girl slogging pace - Brooklyn laying down her jab midring: Milena either jabbing or weaving her way past to engage on the inside. Brooklyn employing the same tactics as she backs to ropes - looping the left arm around Govich's head/attempting to twist her into awkward stalemate...leads to struggle-for-position at ropes as Milena tries to stay atop her girl. In the grasp, Milena's right hand pushes up under Brooklyn's left elbow, shoving that arm up over Govich's head, freeing Milena up to land thudding right hands to ribs/jug, punishing Brooklyn until she can tie up. Balance of attrition going Govich's way: she's bossing Brooklyn at ropes; smothering escape attempts; getting blunt right hands into expensive blonde chassis.

R3: More Milena-on-Brooklyn violence - Govich extending her time-of-possession dominance on ropes. Brooklyn grimacing, pushed flat-back to ropes with Govich fighting off blonde chest...brunette just pumping fists to blonde tummy/wrestling free of clinches as Decker tries to bog brawny brunette down. Brooklyn's left-arm headlock neutralized as Govich pushes it up and over her head, then plows away righty on the cheap, scoring heavily against ribs and jug until Decker can tie up. Brooklyn cupping hands at Milena's ears, pulling the head down: Govich beating at belly, then looping-brawny over top Brooklyn's arms...Decker able to blunt the damage, but it's bruising Milena-Govich attrition at its thumping best.

R4: Brooklyn stepping in the poke - left hand smashing at Milena's face or guard - blonde girl able to punch brunette to a halt outside, then step clockwise, turning the Govich right flank. Milena frowning, bobbing on the spot, trying to work her way inside...she's successful in spots, but Brooklyn making it expensive, punishing Govich on the way in, then tying up as fighters stumble to ropes. Decker fighting to negate rather than win on the apron - she'll trade short n' sloppy inside, then tie up, content to hold Milena for ref's breaks. Govich still a brute at times - bashing at blonde biceps when Brooklyn covers up; shoveling home right hands to gut as Brookie's trying to glom-on...but over all, blonde girl doing a good job of minimizing brunette chances in a moneyball fourth.

R5: Same again: that heavy, surprisingly accurate jab of Decker's; Milena walking through the fire to fight off blonde chest; girls working brawny inside - meaty arms and shoulders writhing; backsides shuddering as feet step for position; fighters stumbling to ropes, tumbling along cables, exchanging top-position in the grasp. Brooklyn acquitting herself well in the slop: punishing points accruing to the jab; fighting Milena to a standstill inside, then tying her up. Govich grumpy, pushing off at the bell: Brooklyn doing a lot of holding and hitting, being unexpectedly beefy and calm despite considerable tummy-to-tummy pressure from Milena at times.

R6: More of the slop - Milena jabbing-with to gain entrance, then plowing a healthy right forearm to jug to ride Brooklyn rough to ropes. Govich squaring up strong, doing a better job of denying Brooklyn's reversal-attempts...blonde girl fighting off the ropes much of the round. Milena keeping hips back/head down - using the straight-arm left inside Brooklyn's right shoulder to pin her down - Milena's right hand down and reaching back, then pouring forward, hoping for chin. Blonde partially blocking these blasts, but it's disruptive - Brooklyn getting ragdolled into ropes, being bullied more than she has been. When Decker does manage to wrap up, Milena stays busy in the grasp - crossing her arms to crush Brooklyn's breasts; working the tummy via lapping left/rights. More often than not, Milena's slugging her way free of Decker's clutches, then marauding to jug - Govich deliberately pounding the rack in a bid to break big blonde spirits. Bell: Govich pushing off Decker all aggressive-sweaty, stomping confident back to corner...fight's all even through 6 rounds of big-girl slop.

R7: When Brooklyn gets the jab on Milena midring, it shifts all metrics in Decker's favour. Govich taking more to get inside - and when she gets inside, she's jab-softened, easier for Decker to control and work. Brookie's big right hand's been quite much of the night, but she starts landing it off the jab this round - catching Milena on the jaw as Govich closes. Govich still getting good work done on ropes, but so is Brooklyn - Decker able to twist-reverse Milena into ropes; Decker able to trade right hands to body while girls hold each other with strong left arms. Down the stretch, Brooklyn even being rough with Milena - left hand pushing Govich's face/head back over top rope, then shoving a bruising right forearm in payback to Milena's breasts. Bell: tempers flare as girls chest up all eyes blazing, nostrils flaring...ref easing big-bodied beauties apart.

R8: When Milena can slip the jab and take Brooklyn to ropes in good order, the metrics swing in Govich's favour. Decker suffering longer stretches of time with her back to ropes; Decker working harder to pull Govich's head down, or tie up her arms; Decker absorbing more right hands to midsection - giving up more jug to brawny Govich predation. Govich able to concentrate on punishing her blonde this round - pounding at the biceps as Decker forms grimacing earmuff; beating hips and flanks out wide; reaching under Brooklyn's arms to wrestle apart her guard/chest her deep into ropes. Decker a frazzled, cranky beauty, just trying to survive and blunt the implacable beat of Milena's onslaught. Fight's even after 8!

R9: Brooklyn: gun-platform stance; pumping jab in a POP...POPPOP rhythm while she shifts clockwise. Milena's face catching spank...she's blinking, reacting late with her head-bob. When Govich gets inside, she reaches sleepily around Brooklyn's waist/back...it's Decker the aggressor inside, palming up on Milena's shoulders - or even putting a glove in Milena's face - to shove her back outside. Decker slowly imposing will - shelling Milena outside; dropping right crosses after every few jabs. Govich sullen, spanked, crossing arms with right at left jawline/left at right elbow...she's just wading into range, then taking heavily upon head-and-shoulders. When Govich manages to close, Brooklyn's able to push her off brawny...Milena frowning crankily on her heels as Decker shows beefy. Steady, methodical work - Decker reducing Milena systematically...it's probably the most professional round of Brooklyn Decker's career as she sends Govich back to her stool wobbly-butt. Brookie up by a point, going into the tenth!

R10: Milena stubbornly forward, but sluggishly so: arms crossed, bobbing on approach, but rarely penetrating past Decker's jab screen. Brooklyn tired, but upbeat - eyes bright: she's loving the looks she's getting on Govich, really punishing the brunette outside. Midway through, blonde girl shows a dash of showmanship - flutter-flicking the jab at Milena's eyeline while sliding back in-stance, walking Govich into a GORGEOUS bolo right uppercut to chin! Shades of Douglas/Tyson...Milena picked up savagely hard, reeling back right-shoulder-first into ropes. Shades of Holyfield/Tyson when Brookie squares up - blonde girl bashing away at brunette jawlines with healthy, thumbside-up wallops - poor Milena stooping forward, mitts in front of her cheekbones, SPONGING UP THE HURT! Brooklyn POURING it to Milena...blonde girl applying shellack from a wide stance, weight on her toes as she leans into the work...Milena slugged from one foot to the other, staring in stupor. Decker breathing hard, sees the chin-blasts aren't getting it done: she pushes heel of left hand onto Milena's forehead, pushing her upright against ropes and PLOWING the right hand deep to tummy. Milena sobbing aloud, sitting in ropes: Brookie back to slugging thumbside-up wallop to chops, pasting the jawlines until Milena's eyes flutter shut. GOVICH WON'T GO! Milena just too strong to drop - Brookie bending her back into shellacking lefts and rights, trying to get Govich out of there...BELL! Brooklyn bellowing in Milena's vacant, slack-jawed face - just an inchoate scream of supremacy until ref pushes blonde girl away. UD10 Brooklyn Decker in breakthrough fashion.

After: Brookie bangs out a bruising duke against arguably the most bruising fighter in boxing...tremendous credibility boost to a girl who many have dismissed as just another SI cover-fighter. "Obviously, this is huge for me," an exhausted - but overjoyed - Brookie D gushes in postfight. "Beating Milena down really slaps the face of all my critics. It shows I'm not afraid to fight anyone - I don't care about risk reward, and I don't care about weight. I'll go up to fight any of the old-guard models if I have to; I'll meet Phoebe T at 130 if she wants - I just don't care. I just reduced MILENA GOVICH to stuttering rubble. I AM the next Charlize Theron, and Upton, Romijn - all of 'em - can go sulk for all I care!"
