Before: Cosmo sponsors a special shoot, flying the girls to an exclusive, undisclosed locale, for a private bout which will be published in the pages of the magazine as a photostory. Setting appears to be tropical, with a ring set up on a beach somewhere. Banks the favourite in black push up bra and leopard print bikini bottoms against Romjin in white lace bra and panties.

During R1: Round threatens to be dangerous but both girls escape big hurt by narrow margins. Each sets her stance wide, sweeping left hands at the face, then leaning in behind looong straight rights - Banks aiming for Romjin's ribcage, while RR spears at Tyra's luscious face. Each slugs herself off balance, then recoils in a hurry as the other tries to land - making for good pictures, but tepid contact. Banks takes the round, landing the better quality blows.

R2: Becky tastes the supple power of Banks this round as Tyra able to get good leverage on her right hands to the body. Romjin buckling slightly, bringing her arms in, feet together, stops punching and Tyra takes over. Banks with slapping left hands, sets up the better executed right to bang Rebecca onto her heels. Becky looking to counter but not pulling the trigger. In the final minute, with Banks legging around the stiff looking blonde, Tyra comes over the top with a crushing right to the temple and sweeps Rebecca to her backside. Romjin hurt, blubbery, manages to beat the count, but she's on shaky legs. Tyra with a long, rising left hook, paws at Becky's pert breasts, then wades in with the wide right hand, smashing through Romjin's guard to bust the blonde up. Romjin's collapse is predictable, pathetic - she reels around Tyra as the brunette swings away with looping blows, and a final rising right hand caroms off Rebecca’s cheek to spin her sideways to the ropes, then down to her hands and knees. Romjin quits on all fours, punking out rather than taking more abuse from dominant Tyra.

After: Final shot shows Tyra in the traditional victorious model pose, one arm around Romjin's waist -displaying the blonde trophy to the camera. Banks with the perfect smile, Rebeccah looking away from the camera with a distracted "get me out of here" look. Another easy punch out for Banks, who continues to look the class of the supermodel field.
