Before: "First Taylor, then Jenny," Katherine grins, recognizing the muscular achievement such a schedule represents. "They said it couldn't be done, but I'm smashing my way through these beach tramps. I know Jenny's tuff and everything, but look at me: I'm too much woman for this girl. That's my whole strategy - be too much and overwhelm the other girl. Before she knows it, I'll be champion, and I'll probably have a little extra somethin' special for her in the bargain!" Wink, wink. Jenny O'Dell non-plussed, unfazed by Heigl-want-to-smash bravado. "I know what I've got in front of me," Jenny admits, "and the fighter I saw demolish Taylor Cole has to be taken very seriously. Heigl has tremendous momentum on her side - we saw the same thing with Jennifer Garner when her movie career started to take off: box office success can make a girl more confident and dangerous in the ring. I have to take that confidence away from Katherine early - remind her that she's just another girl, show her that she's nothing special. That's a tall order, but I'm up to it. And don't think I haven't noticed the veiled threats of post-fight adventurism from Heigl's camp. Lohan's not the only BSE girl who'll tear it up after a knock out win, Kathy!" Heigl in white bikini with multicoloured flower petals along the decolletage, white gloves; long low ponytail ala "Knocked Up" with bangs. Jenny in vivid baby blue bikini, white gloves.

 

During R1: Girls straight legged, flat footed - right hands at cheeks, left hands pumping VERY hard jabs up top. Jabbage bounces off brow and forehead as girls pivot-step clockwise - both reloading and ramming mechanically to jug as midring fencing heats up. Heigl the first to mix in right hands - straight, jamming blows from her cheek to Jenny's face, then Heigl jerks the short, shoving left uppercut off her front (left) foot to Jenny's chest. O'Dell grimacing, giving ground: Kathy very effective here with the long, pounding right hand followed by short, gouging left uppies or tight-swatting hooks into the O'Dell chest or tummy. Jenny backed to ropes under pressure - arms up to block, rolling the incoming: Kathy eyes bright as she shells away strong, straight lefts and rights, mitts bouncing off tanned shoulders, blonde skull at the bell. Heigl brightening, skipping away, kissing her right glove and waving to the crowd en route to her corner.

 

R2: Midring, hard jabbing from strong stances: Jenny pounding her way past Kathy's guard to take the initiative. O'Dell leaning in the right hand now, scoring to face, then mopping up that short, tucking left hook to sternum off front (left) foot. Very compact bite on the hook bunches Kathy up: Jenny just chopping it in - no backswing - fist palm-up as it digs into golden-brown midriff. Kathy grimacing, on her heels - she hits ropes, covers up earmuff, tilts right onto Jenny's jerking left uppercut, bunting Heigl's face back. Hard-chopping right hand swings in clean; muscular, clubbing hook: Jenny taking it to big girl at the ropes, clobbering away on Kathy's skull. Heigl digging in wobbly butt, baring her teeth, lifting arms to block: Jenny lowers head, rotates shoulders, bounces both hands off stubborn midsection to cramp Kathy forward. Jenny methodically to jug - crowd starting to roar as O'Dell piles up hard, pancaking blows: Heigl groaning as Jenny pummells rack with chugging delivery. Kathy's hurt, but too big and strong to go down: she grimly covers up - tilting backward and forwards at ropes, suffering as Jenny works her over upstairs and down, but making it to bell. Jenny smouldering, chest heaving - she looks her challenger over before turning away, tallying up the damage.

 

R3: It's like they trained together - similar strong stances, straight legs, both committed to straight, professional punching in combination. Heigl's jab suppresses Jenny's this round: O'Dell's getting parried and blocked - Heigl's slamming through clean, punching back champ's face with SPANK. Middle minute - Kathy lands a tidy right roundhouse across gut, straightens to hook Jenny inside her left shoulder - champ stumbles back on her heels, looking a little ragdoll. Kathy jabbing her way in, stepping smartly-to: sharp right cross paves the way for that short, jerking, nasty left uppercut into Jenny's sternum. O'Dell ropeside, dukes at temples: Kathy pushes up left shoulder/open right palm, then twists, chops that brutal left hook palm-up to Jenny's stomach TUPP!. O'Dell visibly hurt to her body: Kathy picks her up a muscular, short left uppercut to chest, draping champ upright on cables - leans into a plowing right to swivel Jenny's head. O'Dell swaying here, keeping hands up, rolling sadly as Katherine piles on down the stretch: Heigl shovelling it onto Jenny now - strong, buxom lefts and rights bashing away chest, shoulders and scalp to bell. Heigl nostrils flaring, eyes glaring - chests up on Jenny, making the champ take weight until ref moves in. "Too strong, Jen!" Kathy chirps over official's shoulder.

 

R4: Kathy's pounding at Jenny up the middle: jabs, right hands, then in with the short, jagged left hook or uppercut off the front foot. O'Dell cranky - head routinely jarred, body repeatedly cringing up - she's stepping out, circling with a concerned frown as Heigl walks her down. Kathy as patient, thorough as we've ever seen her - walking Jen down, but jabbing her to prep, leaning into brutal right hands, but never overcommitting - just sumptuous, sharp punching, head and body. Late the round, Jenny makes a nice little adjustment with her feet: half-step back when Kathy's jabbing, just changing up distance a smidge - O'Dell able to make Heigl miss short, then catch her in return.

 

R5: Jenny slooowly wresting control away from Katherine as girls continue to trade savage, shelling salvoes midring. O'Dell's footwork subtle, but a difference-maker: anticipatory step outs, then frisky jabbing allows Jen to get the extra touches as Heigl's connects drop. Both women absolutely heartless to the midsection: tight, tucking shots - palm-up on the left hook off the front foot in close - gorgeous, compact work in tight.

 

 

R6: Sensational two way punching, glorious give and take - nothing wild or ill-considered. STIFF jabbing the rule, chased by spearing right hands, then jagged left hand techniques as the puncher leans in on defender. Both girls committed to offense, but both rolling punches very well - taking skidding blows off shoulders and scalps. Both looking to extend: when they're finished curling punches in close, they'll push the other off palms-on-shoulders, resetting the distance at jabbing range. Jenny's round - she's getting the extra touches, steadily outhitting the stronger blonde and landing almost as tartly.

 

R7: Kathy's legs buckle as Jenny scores one-two: fierce light in O'Dell's eyes as she hops into the weakness, chopping her hook into Kathy's sternum. Heigl groaning, stooped forward behind her mitts: OH Jenny stays on the body, hooking mercilessly at the waist. Thick, thudding connects have Kathy hurt, but can't put her down: Jenny dips her shoulder, heaves her challenger back outside to set up banging one-twos. Kathy shying away - defensively a little sluggish here - she's really getting face-punched hard, Jenny pounding away straight lefts and rights. O'Dell's conditioning a real factor - she ups her output as Kathy's reeling, walking Heigl down and hammering away non-stop: poor Heigl rolling-with, but slowly - she's bludgeoned bell to bell as curvy legs hold her up.

 

R8: Oh the pounding, stiff exchanges midring - wonderful stand-and-deliver boxing. Both heads bang back from crashing, well-extended punches: crowd oohing and ahhing at repeated contact which should be producing devastating results, but isn't. Both girls magnificently resolute tonight - taking huge punishment, momentarily showing weakness, but usually rallying to make the other pay. Late the round, Kathy separates herself with a withering right roundhouse loud to Jenny's breadbasket - sweeping punch has O'Dell backing straight away, exhaling hot through pursed lips. Katherine flicks jabs to hound, then drifts the right cross to jug, splashing away on Jenny's cleavage as O'Dell hits ropes. Shattering beatdown administered in the final moments - Kathy sweeping away lefts and rights - shifting weight, leaning side to side to pull the harm onto doubled up Jenny at the bell. Heigl turning in exagerrated fashion, grinning as her long ponytail - cool with sweat - licks feathery across Jenny's face. O'Dell standing there open-mouthed, eyes closed as if to say: "Oh no: she did NOT just ponylash me in front of God and the whole country. That did not just happen." Or thoughts to that effect. Kathy perky in her corner: "Did you see me get her with my ponytail?" she asks Janet J. Jones nodding brusquely: "Good girl - sit down - shut up. Here's what I want you to do..."

 

R9: Jenny tested, rallies, slamming back into Kathy's drowsy face to retake initiative. Heigl's upperbody movement almost nonexistent now - she's facing groggy into punches - Jenny just slamming blows in between and around Kathy's raised gloves. O'Dell's face tight with intensity, lips clamped as she pours her best at Heigl - crowd roaring as Jenny's right hands batter back Kathy's head; Jenny's left hooks tear at Kathy's underbelly. Heigl stumbling late, blinking in stupor - she's tieing up behind Jenny's arms, bogging champ down to get out of the round.

 

R10: Katherine clearly breaking down after so much bitter trading: Jenny hungry, alert, continues to push the pace on bigger woman. Heigl taking disasterous face-punches - head rocking and jerking - but she's standing up to it, stepping backward and firing back in spots. Jenny unleashing now - still tucking in torrid short hooks off the front foot, but also leaning to back (right) foot to curl hooks around, following up with her left hand at her right shoulder. Heigl sporting raccoon eyes, mouth open, her punching lose steam - but she won't punk. Even when Jenny tries to pound Kathy's jugs into submission late, Heigl stiffens, answers shrugging lefts and rights to O'Dell's heaving rack to back champ off. Bell: Both blondes reeling - earning a standing 'O' for the blazing combination of professionalism and savagery in fearful symmetry. Comes back UD10 close - for the winner and STILL champ, Jenny O'Dell.

 

After: Heigl distraught, tummy trembling as tears build - one of her cleanest, technically best performances goes for not as Jenny outworks her for the belts. O'Dell badly banged up herself, approaches Katherine in the immediate aftermath - hugs her, then holding Katherine's arms - Jenny shoos away the press so she can have a moment with her challenger. Heigl unable to make eye contact, nodding, sniffing: we can't hear it, but Jenny's clearly giving her strapping young challenger all the props in the world. "I just told her that she had me hurt several times and that I thought she'd fought the best I'd ever seen her," Jenny tells press in postfight. "I wanted to go down so often - I don't know how I didn't - I don't know how SHE didn't! We just slugged the guts out of each other and if I was better, it was by this much (holds up fingers close together). Honestly - that was everything I could have asked from a challenger, and my hat's off to Katherine Heigl."
