Before: GLN anxious to redeem herself, and Farrell seems made to order, Terry a tall, slender orthodox boxer, with questions about her durability. Nolin pretty frank about using Terry to get back on track. Farrell using Gena as a stepping stone in turn—another upset win puts Farrell in the hunt. A lot of pre-fight talk about Nolin’s rough house tactics—Nolin claims they won’t be needed I this fight., Gena in yellow bikini black mesh to high neck, Farrell in royal blue bikini, high neck.

During R1: Gena opens with a front choke, folding Terry over, walking her to the ropes and ketting go at the referee’s break with a little lace job underneath, Farrell flustered, blinking, looks for payback, but the early action is all swamp wit Nolin holding and filibustering. Midway through the round., Farrell finally disengages, takers a half step back and walks Gena inton a rising right hook-uppercut and NOLIN GOES WOBBLY BUTT! Farrell slapping the taste out of the blonde’s mouth has Gena helpless mid ring, and she starts to work the long jab, dancing clockwise and touching Gena as Nolin turns, trying to block. Farrell pocketing the points leaves Nolin fuming at the bell.

R2: Gena clinching around the waist—girls nearly corkscrew to the canvas as they tumble in one another’s arms. Once again, midway through the round, Farrell gets distance, and times Gena coming in with a beautiful short right hand, getting the long body behind it and GENA GOES DOWN! Nolin on her butt looks stunned—Farrell showing tremendous sock early, and Gena takes 8. Now it’s on as Terry wades in, and Nolin hunches over, right at her chest, looking to snare the brunette with the left and hold her for a leaning right hand. It’s Nolin’s kind of warfare as Terry gives up several looping rights on the cheek—but they don’t erase the knockdown.

R3: Gena still trying to come forward, now leery of Farrell’s height, just reaching in with the left to Terry’s belly to get the range, Midway through, with Nolin inching in, Terry scores another clubbing right hand, catching Nolin behind the ear and sending the blonde stumbling in a semi-circle, Farrell getting onto her toes, shows Gena the stick the rest of the way—Nolin obviously confused—not wanted to get whacked, but getting nibbled to death if she stays away.

R4: Gena finally shows up, slinging right hands over Farrell’s jab, stepping in and letting her hands go when she’s inside the brunette’s reach. Terry getting wrong footed, backing up, trying to push Gena back and it’s not working., Shutout Nolin.

R5: Nolin finding the range with the right hand, begins leaning in to the punch to connect hard with the side of Terry’s head, Farrell trying to jab her way out of trouble, but it’s feeding into what Nolin’s doing--Gena has the rhythm, and is dictating, bouncing Terry around the ring this round.

R6,7,8,9: Terry Farrell puts on the boxing clinic everyone’s been waiting for, getting up on her toes, pushing the jab into Gena’s face and circling well outside as Nolin just can’t get through. Gena trying to force the action, trying to turn into right hands, but she’s coming up short as Farrell pokes her on the end of the left hand. Terry not feeling any pressure, able to flare the right picturesquely out to the side as she jabs—it’s pretty stuff. Nolin covering up, ducking, but simply unable to make headway gets buried in these rounds and is looking at a horrible points gap going into the tenth.

R10: Cue low blows—Nolin goes out to touch gloves for the final round and suckers Terry to the crotch, getting her shoulder into the brunette’s chest and digging furiously until the ref breaks. Farrell gasping, hurting—and Nolin pours it on. Terry sliding along the ropes, hands at her stomach, taking right hands as Gena steps and slugs with the brunette to the corner. All Nolin as she makes the most of it, bashing her fists against Terry’s sides, then palming the shoulder to straighten the brunette for crashing right hands on the face. Gut check time for Farrell as she starts to got out, Nolin just beating her with crude right hands AND TERRY GOES DOWN. Nolin landing chap left/right off Terry’s groggy face with the brunette on her haunches—ref steps in and Farrell gets the long count. Terry climbs the ropes to survive and Nolin wades in to savage her for in the final seconds. Terry swooning, seated on the turnbuckle, gets shredded as Nolin twists her lanky frame into murderous lefts and rights, but the bell sounds to find the brunette still on her feet. Decision comes back another upset—UD10 Terry Farrell.

After: Nolin claiming victory, demanding a recount and threatening legal action as a battered Terry Farrell is helped from the in. Still KO was Gena’s only by chance after pissing away the fight—where was that stuff earlier? Farrell with another shocking performance squeezes past Nolin with early power, late boxing, and plenty of heart in that last round.
