Before: Donna working with Eggert in camp, comes into the fight as well prepared as anyone ever has been for Raitano. Nat looking vulnerable for the first time in her last outing, but still possesses the incredible quick power punching that should prove decisive. D'Errico not the pushover she once was, but still a big underdog nevertheless. White bra, light blue bikini bottoms for Donna D, Black bra, red bikini bottoms for Natalie.

During R1 D'Errico boxing smart, gets off first, puts a quick one/two on target then clinches to frustrate Natalie early. Raitano not jabbing, not getting off, drops the round, but is never hurt as D'Errico just concentrating on containment.

R2 Raitano getting to D'Errico's midriff with wide right hands early, but Donna D fading away behind a screen of swatting jabs, has Raitano tentative. By the final minute, D'Errico is flashing combinations against Natalie, freezing the brunette midring, and a brisk right on the mouth, left on the jaw, right uppercut puts Nat on her backside with a surprised expression. Up quickly, Raitano doesn't look hurt, but her footwork is betrayed early - she's squaring up too much.

R3 Donna counterpunching beautifully, rolls with Natalie's murderous overhand right, then comes back with a short right hand of her own into the brunette's taut midriff or teeth. Raitano eating several of these compact rights, goes wobbly butt early, and is in full retreat by the middle minute. Crowd roars and D'Errico batters Natalie to the ropes with straight lefts and rights, then digs in to work the brunette's sides with chopping body shots. Raitano standing in, doesn't seem to know what to do as she starts to soak up unacceptable punishment at the bell.

R4 Natalie with an early series of rushes, once again peters out, and looks confused as D'Errico picks and pats, clinches, then opens up with combinations. Stung often by counterpunches, Nat looks hesitant to throw the right, and D'Errico goes to work on Raitano's eyes with a punishing jab. Down the stretch, D'Errico bangs Raitano's mouth piece out with a beautiful hook, then rocks the brunette to the ropes with a straight right hand on the teeth. Raitano going groggy, covers and takes again at the bell as D'Errico swarms.

R5 Natalie finally on the board, gets inside D'Errico's jab and hammers the waist line with wide left hooks. D'Errico soaking it up, forced to clinch, and isn't as active as she takes the round off.

R6 Donna tries to re-establish her hit and clinch, but Raitano won't have it, moving her head under the one-two and coming back with explosive hooks out of the crouch. D'Errico pulling straight back is starting to get tagged, and doesn't look as confident as she did at the start.

R7 Donna D slipping Nat's right, starts to dial in with the left hook, hurting Raitano to the ribs and jaw with precision bombs. Midway through the round, a wild Raitano right misses over the top, D'Errico weaving beneath, then turning over the slick hook to nearly force Raitano to one knee. Donna sliding to her left, rips the left uppercut in between the mitts from Raitano's side, and Natalie is busted up, unable to deal with the angles. Raitano splashing to the ropes, is helpless as D'Errico pours on wide lefts and rights, but the blonde a little too exuberant. Raitano punching with Donna and a collision of simultaneous left hooks sends D'Errico staggering back. All Raitano to the bell as drives her shoulder in to take D'Errico ropeside for a beating. Donna hurt, does not recover during the break.

R8 Vintage Natalie Raitano as she smears D'Errico along the ropes, smacking wide lefts and rights to the hips, going southpaw on the inside to rip the right uppercut into Donna's face. Withering pressure wears Donna down by the final minute, and Raitano puts D'Errico on all fours with a savage bashing of hooks to the liver. Donna D survives the round, but she finally looks ready to go.

R9 Donna's legs are shot she retreats, pushing out the don't-hurt-me jab and finally lolling on the ropes as Natalie piles on. The punches pour onto Donna's battered body as she huddles forward - shoulders, biceps, tummy and breasts all clubbed numb as Natalie finally exerts her will. Raitano gnashing her teeth through bruised lips, pumps punches from bell to bell with no signs of let down - a battered and exhausted Donna slumps in her corner.

R10 Donna out with her hands low, tries to poke a punch from her hips, but Raitano lunges in, sweeping the right hand over the top to flatten D'Errico against the canvas. Sprawled on her back, Donna can't get up, as Raitano wearily pumps her fist. KO10 Natalie Raitano.

After: D'Errico succumbing to exhaustion as much as anything else, simply had no more to give as Raitano overwhelmed her. Natalie's face a pulpy mess, clearly shows the wreckage of a tough test, but a win puts her in line for something big.
