Before: High stakes eliminator - winner gets Charlize Theron and a lucrative PPV date. Judd bulking up for the fight, but gives away some height and reach to the naturally bigger Nolin - Judd's execution has to be razor sharp to compensate. Gena Lee in powder blue bikini, little hoops between the cups and at the breasts, Judd in dark chocolate bra style bikini, blonde tousle.

During R1: Ashley jabbing her way in, goes to the body with a stern double left hook, turning the punch over ala Angel Manfredy. Nolin wild throughout, missing over the top as Judd sees every shot, shows good head movement to stay close to her girl's body.

R2: Nolin using her legs a little more, opening up the ring, touching Judd with a slapping backhand jab and a looping, rising right hand. Judd not as aggressive - gives Nolin time to get set.

R3,4: Better pressure from Ashley, she's getting to Nolin's body with ridiculous ease, and staying busy once she's past those long arms. Gena Lee buckling on occasion as Judd reefs at her waist with thudding left hooks, then bobbing to make Nolin miss repeatedly. Gena finishing up both rounds with her back to the ropes, covering in desperation as Judd flashes surprisingly good combination punches in compact bursts.

R5: Gena's been missing over the top all night long - she changes up and catches Judd bending at the waist with a curling right uppercut - DOWN GOES ASHLEY! Stunning one shot power from Nolin has Judd wide eyed and wobbly butt - Nolin immediately piling on, rides her girl to the ropes and indulges in cheap practice - rubbing her forearm across Ashley's face, headlocking Judd in clinches and bending her awkwardly to one side. By the final minute, Judd has her act together, and she's dipping down, coming up with lefts and rights to the belly to back Nolin up at the bell.

R6: Ashley's on to something - early Nolin pressure fizzles as Judd dips to her left and right, ripping upwards with double left and right uppercuts in under the ribcage - a hurting Gena Lee doesn't like it. Judd walking Nolin down all over the ring and in the final minute - Judd smells blood. Uptempoing, she rips wide lefts and rights in around Nolin's elbows as the blonde crumbles to the ropes - sustained beat down puts Gena on one knee - Ashley bellowing with the payback knockdown at the bell!

R7: War is on - Nolin pitching in wild overhand rights, trying to come up underneath with slinging lefts. Judd reading the right, rolling with it and coming back with much shorter, straighter right hands to the chest and chin. Down the stretch - Nolin goes low with a punishing 3 punch combination, sending Judd reeling in pain to the ropes as the ref issues a warning.

R8: Ashley steely eyed, won't let the fouling deter her. Rolling to her right to evade Gena's wild right hands, Ashley is picking the big blonde up with short right hands on the chin, staying low and ripping to the body with that tight double hook. Nolin teary eyed at the bell as Judd shuts her down and batters her once again.

R9: Nolin leading with an outrageous headlock, turning away from the ref to lace Judd viciously to the eyes and refusing to release until physically forced by the official. Constant clinching, tackling and mugging from Nolin in the first minute, but midway through the round, Judd fights her way through the swamp to land once again to that tender right side with that insistent double left hook. Nolin's knees give way as she is SHOT! Gena floundering forward to clinch and Ashley NAILS her with a beautiful, tight right uppercut - Nolin swooning, arms reaching past Ashley as the sturdy blonde stands in the pocket to lick left and right uppercuts in tight and NOLIN GOES OUT! Gena Lee's head snapping, legs stiffen and she tumbles down Ashley's body to sprawl on the canvas. Stunning KO9 Ashley Judd.

After: Ashley wowing critics with a very measured, well executed fight plan. Working the body with a consistent hook - Judd took a lot of the fight out of Nolin over the first half - Gena's characteristic fouling began to appear as her legs started to weaken and when Judd answered the knockdown - you could see the panic in Nolin's eyes. Great effort for underdog Judd - proves she belongs - but Theron even bigger and more technically proficient than Gena Lee - Judd in tough on PPV.
