Before:” “Jlo a real pro these days: no tantrums following her upset loss to Halle Berry, just training, staying busy and looking to get better. “It’s not about ego any more,” Jen says in prefight. “I want to win another championship, then get out. There’s no easy way to take the belts: I need to fight good comp and work my way up. That’s what Gabrielle’s here for.” Union  a slick, flashy boxer—generally electing speed over power—but she’s confident she’ll add to Jennifer’s woes. “I’m faster and better,” Gabrielle shrugs at the podium. “Jen’s still attraction, but she’s playing a dangerous game: girls like me have been waiting for her to try to climb the ladder again, because we know what a juicy opportunity that represents. I feel I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by facing Jen—this could really be the start of something big for me.” Jen in slick powder-blue off the shoulder bikini (right shoulder bare); black Nike boxing shoes with white socks rolled down; black gloves; blonde hair back in tight French twist—flawless golden skin glowing, Gabrielle in red sports bra; red bikini bottoms; black gloves; black Nike boxing shoes with white socks rolled down; slick ponytail pulled back—revealing same high-gloss skin as Jen’s.

 

During 1,2: Jen stalking—hands moving from crossed-arm at the body to earmuff at the temples as she gets close, looking to bump-and-hook at close

quarters, Gabrielle negating third with her legs: she’s stepping out; sidestepping, pivoting; walking around. Gabby with the left at her waist, right at her chin, presenting her left shoulder to Jen and proving adept at trolling incoming shots, then countering off the slip. Jen moving in, but getting pre-empted: Gabrielle rolling to her right, then back into Jen with ripping right uppercuts; vicious left hooks in tandem. When Jen tries to locate Gabby with jabs, Union swats a hook off her hip, standing up tall on her right leg as she wipes Jen’s mouth. Gabby ablet to double up right hands and hook off the jab—sprucing Jen up, then stepping around her as Lopez covers up in confusion. Through two—angry mouse forming under Jen’s right eye and her beautiful face is busting up as Union’s flashy accuracy dominates.

 

R3: Jen able to close ground, grind foreheads with Gabrielle and engage her toe-to-toe. Withering trade—dominated by Jen—but Gabrielle highly competitive fighting Jen’s fight. Short-shrugging shots, plenty of shoulder-bumping/head rubbing as girls vie for position. Gabrielle emphasizing quick-jolt uppercuts, then tidying up combinations as Jen’s head pops up. Lopez pounding the ribs and tummy—principally hooks-off-the-bump. Pleasing symmetry of exotic bodies rotating in a phone-booth together: Near constant spank of leather on shiny beef.

 

R4: Gabby baits Jen in, rolls Lopez’s right hand. Comes back a ripping right hand uppercut to chin: Lopez mouthpiece flutters skyward as Jen’s put wobbly butt. Gabrielle’s shifting gears with Jen stooping forward in hurtin’ earmuff: Left uppercut (face); left hook (behind right elbow); left hook (right ear). Jen in swoon, ringing from the brisk technique: Gabrielle with lips pursed drops her left hand to her side, shifts weight to right (back) foot while twisting her torso-right—hesitates—then rips the right uppercut again, splitting Jen’s mitts to pound her face. Middle minute: all about Gabby working Jen’s body—walking Latina into thick, relaxed, strapping rights and lefts as Union retreats in good order. Down the stretch, Gabby gets back up top with NOTHING coming back from Jen. Series of drilling straight right hands and wide, whippy hooks has Jen staggering—bouncing ragdoll n’ sloppy off the ropes. Gabrielle finishes up with a glorious wrenching hook off Jen’s paunch; snap-hook up top to jaw; finishing right uppercut off the right foot and DOWN GOES JEN! Lopez sputtering to all fours: face busted up, eyes swelling, tummy panting in and out in shock.

 

R5: Shutout, Gabrielle Union. Jen plodding forward in a crouch: easy pickings for crisp-punching, mobile Union, Gabby making Jen walk through the jab, then picking Jen up the right uppercut off the right foot, then forcing her back with wide, slinging hooks. Gabby circling luring Jen forward, then beating her to punches. When Jen covers up peek-a-boo: Gabrielle spends a little quality time on the Lopez gut—really getting in there with thick hooks off the front (left) foot, Lopez’s beautiful face tragically beaten puffy, eyes busting up: she wanders back to her stool in a groggy haze.

 

R6:Jen stays on the attack, bobbing Gabby’s jab best she can, then hooking ribcage as distance collapses. Union electing to edge-in and wear Jen out, but it’s a mistake: Lopez clearly more effective when girls swap in shoulder-to-shoulder. Hard-working stuff as girls lean in together: shoulders hunched and rotating; punches short—all swiping or cuffing. Lopez gets her short right uppercut working inside—picking Gabrielle up and leaving her vulnerable to follow-on body hooks. Good round for Jen, sees her turn the tables, even punishing Gabby along the ropes for a stretch.

 

R7: When Gabby gets distance, uses her kegs, turns Jen around the ring: it’s Union’s fight. Lopez battered as she comes forward—she’s moving her head, but usually after eating a jab or pinging right hand. Jen continuing to place that hook in Union’s  chocolate-coloured tummy or glossy flank—Gabrielle completes work on Jen’s right eyes this round, closing it to a slit.

 

R8: Lopez SO determined—jabbing-with to take away Gabby’s jab, then ramming her forehead into Gabrielle’s clavicle. Lopez fighting effectively off Gabby’s chest—fighting free of clinches, keeping hands moving to the Union breadbasket, Jen brawling inside, pumping with both hands to tummy, then dipping her left shoulder, popping her hips to really sink the payoff hook home. Union mouthbreathing, looking a little ragged, spending much if the round fighting in spots off the ropes.

 

R9: Same again: Jen imposing her will inside. Lopez forcing Gabrielle to ropes, then pinning her down: no escape for Union as she digs in on apron. Grim toe-to-toe: Gabby dukes at cheeks, keeping her head close to Jen’s. then engaging in ruinous trade of short uppercuts and hooks. Lopez’s fight: the shorter the better—[punch for punch, she’s beating the points out of Gabby through 9.

 

R10: Lopez back on top, grinding on Gabrielle at ropes. Jennifer setting a workmanlike pace, fighting off Union’s chest. Softening up the midsection, then deploying hooks to flank. Union shabby—reaching to clinch around Jen’s elbow and hold her close: pace slows as Lopez takes time to push and wriggle free. Lopez on union bell to bell: Gabrielle sitting in ropes, absorbing tremendous punishment but bravely going the distance. Comes back UD10—1 point duke: Gabrielle Union!

 

After: Union ecstatic—leaping into arms of her trainer and carrying on: huge win for often overlooked exotique. Jen somber—face all busted up and hurting: she absorbs another loss after dominating the final 3 heats and taking 5 rounds overall: knockdown betrays her as 10-8 fourth proves decisive.
