Before: Special Commentator Catherine Zeta Jones can’t wipe the smile off her face, “I can’t help myself—this fight is such a guilty pleasure to watch. Two plodding America sluggers, both just leading with their chests and heaving away—this going ti be a great action fight. This really proves you don’t have to be great fighters to have a great fight--well matched ham-and-eggers can provide just as many thrills as the skilled fighters—more, for my money.”

Jenny “Big and Strong” O’Dell, BLONDE! magazine’s Fighter of the Month, hottest young prospect in the country gets her heart’s desire as an angry Cat Bell answers the call, “Of the three,” says Jenny, referring to Zeta Jones, Judd and Bell, “Cat’s the one I think can really do a number on, I think I’m going to surprise the others, but Bell I really think I’ll punish—I can’t WAIT to get at her.”

Bell nonplussed by the blonde’s unprofessional displays and exuberance during pre-fight junket, but brunette finally loses her cool as O’Dell confronts her in the scales. Girls in two piece undies—Jenny getting in Cat’s face, grabs fistful of waistband and pulls Bell snug—Cat immediately shoving back and all hell breaks loose as the girls are separated. “Jenny’s got what she wanted,” vows Cat, “I’m hurting her tonight.”

Cat in dark tinted leopard print bra style bikini, Jenny in tan twist tie top, dark brown bikini bottoms.

During R1: Systematic Cat in action. Hard spiking jabs between the eyes early—backing Jenny up. By the midway point, Cat mixing in the pulverizing right hand, putting the hook on top--O’Dell HAMMERED sideways, sent reeling as Bell walks her down without expression. Final minute a bludgeoning up against the ropes—O’Dell crossing her arms, bending forward at the waist, mute with pain as Bell bats away at the flanks with rib-rattling power. O’Dell wobbly butt, wide eyed at the bell as Cat stomps back to her corner with a punishing shutout.

R2: Jenny showing a good composure, comes out wary, dukes up, but determined to hold ground and come forward. Blistering two way trade midring as girls get shoulder to shoulder, hooking one another heartlessly to the breasts, tapping chins with sharp right hands. Bell’s defense the difference—she’ll step around Jenny’s left shoulder, step out behind the jab, change up distance and pace—both girls throwing the same—blonde’s connect percentage significantly lower.

R3: Bell drilling jabs to the forehead and between the eyes to start every round--O’Dell on her heels, completely ineffective when she can’t come forward. Cat methodically working the ribcage, chest and chin of her foe, right hands and hooks flowing off the spearing jab with sickening leverage. Jenny showing great heart as she stands in and takes--she’s lumping up nicely through 3.

R4: Jenny coming forward with a Mickey Ward look, gloves at her head, walking through Bell’s punches, then slamming away to the brunette’s ribcage as Cat is forced to the ropes. O’Dell with her palms on Cat’s shoulder, pushing and jostling, then slugging hard to the waist, bra and mouth. Bell covering up, shaken repeatedly as Jenny bites into her sides with shattering hooks and wide right hands—brunette clipping little counter uppercuts out of her high guard just to keep Jenny honest. Blonde bangs out a hard working round and lets Cat hear it after the bell—prompting referee intervention.

R5: Bell shakes off the body work to take the scalpel to her foe this round. A solid first minute of pounding jabs up the middle drives O’Dell to the ropes. A heartless second minute of shive and slug—Bell brawny on her girl, using her forearms and shoulders to prop Jenny up with, then LASHING away to the waist, twisting her body into withering strokes that have the blonde buckling forward, Down the stretch, Cat has Jenny breaking down badly and brunette puts it all together. Heartless body shots set up clipping uppercuts—Cat getting her back into the punches, picking up Jenny’s face with shattering impacts. At the bell—a stunned and defenseless O’Dell sways up on the spot as Cat chests up, forces eye contact.

R6: JENNY BRAWLS BACK! A badly battered O’Dell comes out determined to back Cat up—forehead to forehead, girls trading cracking lefts and rights in close and blonde forces brunette in stages to the ropes. Jenny staying on top, rubbing her face into Cat, pushing and palming to set up desperately digging body shots, Bell seated in the ropes, not punching back—she’s getting numbed by the bombardment and O’Dell’s having her way. Down the stretch, Jenny able to pick Cat’s drowsy face up with tight right uppercuts, then get low to prop the brunette up and back with her left shoulder for more abuse. At the bell, it’s Jenny stacking Cat into the ropes, forcing eye contact and brazenly taunting the woozy ex-champ: “How’s THAT feel Cat? Baby, how’s that feel?” until the ref peels her off. Both girls looking shopworn through 6.

R7: Jenny coming for Cat, reaching with a stabilizing right to set up those cranking hooks ti the belly and robs. Cat boxing sharp, using the jab to make O’Dell pay for real estate, then stepping around to make the blonde move her feet. Jenny lands the harder shits, but Cat’s dictating terms, steering the blonde around the ring, touching her up with consistent work outside.

R8: Bell banging Jenny into stupor with hard hearted jabs to the eyes—O’Dell swelling badly, not seeing the outcome, pretty head snapping back as she stubbornly tries to come forward. Bell able to break Jenny down with the left, then pound her face with perfectly placed right hands—TE trainer Syren wincing in the corner as Cat is just DRILLING her foe with malicious blows between the eyes, O’Dell staggering, hurt repeatedly this round but refusing to go down or give up—she’s making Cat fight for every inch of canvas as the brunette constantly works the blonde to the ropes then piles on until Jenny clinch.

R9: Catherine Bell systematically polishing up her foe, doubling and tripling up the jab to constantly catch O’Dell by surprise, stepping to the right and dropping the right hand in wet to the face, finishing up shivering hooks to the breadbasket that fold the blonde forward into bt5he brunette’s arms. And still Jenny’s punching back in spots—O’Dell winning fans as she takes shattering sequences of lather from Cat, staggers back, then drowsily comes back forward to dig at Bell’s midriff. Rounds ends with Jenny stacked up and helpless at the ropes, staring as Cat pancakes her tits with machine like lefts and rights.

R10: Girls trade hooks and CAT GETS HURT! Bell unhinged at the knee, suddenly drowsy, Hands extended and Jenny POUNDS away at the brunettes pleading face.. Lefts and rights bash off Cat’s head, Bell staggering backwards as Jenny walks her down behind a churning barrage and CAT GOES DOWN! Bell stampeded to her behind at the ropes=-eyes vacant, clearly in shock—she does well to beat the count. ON COMES JENNY! O’Dell bulling her way into Cat, reaching under the brunette’s arms, chesting her heavy into the ropes, then cudgeling away with pumping desperation. Bell open mouthed, hurting—she’s tieing up, slowing Jenny down, getting referee’s breaks. Jenny wading, pitching right hands at Cat’s head, then jamming away two handed to the breadbasket as Bell sits in the strands looking to clinch. Bell to bell beat down handed out—Cat just digging in and gutting it out. Comes back UD10 Cat Bell by wide margin despite Jenny’s last minute heroics.

After: Pre-fight animosity momentarily forgotten as Cat gives Jenny a warm, exhausted hug, chats encouragingly to the young blonde who gave a TE style effort tonight. Jenny beaten almost unrecognizable simply refused to submit despite being outclassed and battered much of the evening. “I have to take my hat off to her,” says a grimacing Cat Bell in post fight, she got under my skin with her pre-fight crap, but she’s an emotional girl and I see now how that translated in the ring. Jenny just fought for my respect and won it—she’s a strong, strong kid who’s going to be a handful for anyone. I like her against Zeta Jones—I really do. I think she's got too much heart for Catherine.”
