Thanks to FightFan for this repost.

Before: Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan constantly baited and harrassed by media - one tabloid running a series of "Pretty Kelly vs Trampy Lindsay" articles in weeks leading-up: Lohan actually finding refuge INSIDE the ring rather than out. "It's my sanctuary," a serious Lilo says of the squared circle in prefight - echoing similar comments made by Britney Spears over the years. "Outside of the ring, I don't know - it sucks a lot of the time - but when I'm fighting, everything gets simple. Once it's on, I can just forget about all the crap and take my frustrations out on some poor hag, and that's sweet. Kelly's chin is going be my therapist!"

Monaco champing at the bit - Lindsay Lo's a damn good payday for any flyweight and daytime/dancing star means to capitalize. "Somebody better tell this kid that nobody beats on Kelly Monaco," Kelly warns. "One look at us tells you all you need to know about this fight: bodies like hers don't beat bodies like mine. I'm put together, you know? I'm in better condition now than she is, and she's supposed to be prime beef. I'm going to expose this kid big time." Lohan in midnight blue bandeau bikini, tan UGG boxing boots, white gloves. Kelly in white bikini top, ruffled pink bottoms, white boxing shoes to mid-calf, white gloves.

During R1: Kelly on top with a pesky jab - Linds camping out behind her gloves, blocking, waiting. Kelly potshotting straight, slanting right hands down into Lilo's breadbasket - then back up top hook-on-the-ear: Lindsay backing up, scowling, looking a little sluggish early. Minute mark, ropes: Kelly squares away, eyes narrow - straight left/rights stamp away at Lilo's peek-a-boo guard. Lilo's defenses hold firm at the start, but volume starts to break down the guard - punches are squirting throw, bumping Lindsay's face. Lohan just sitting in the ropes, stooping forward behind her mitts, facing into blows: no head movement, just confusion as Monaco's POURING THROUGH! Kelly suddenly JACKHAMMERING away at Linday's face: there go Lilo's knees! Straight lefts and rights penetrate guard, spank face - poor Lindsay's taking. JUGG! With Lilo drooping and loosened, Kelly alters trajectory, stamping away crisscross to Lohan's bulging rack - Monaco baring her teeth, tearing away - body rigid as she ratchets away at the goods. LOHAN'S HURT! Lindsay not responding - shipping it from Kelly like there's no choice - crowd roaring to it's feet as Monaco POUNDS away majestic to the bell. Ref pushing hungry Kelly back - she's all snarling, eyes flashing, checking Lilo out for signs of quit. Lohan blubbering, shoulders up as she blinks around - nose bleeding: ingenue just got her ass kicked to the tune of 10-8 Kelly!

R2: Smart boxing, Lindsay? Yep - Lohan showing plenty of respect and savvy: right hand nice and high, lateral stepping to the right as she pieces out the jab and a wide, sweeping, lithe hook to keep Monaco wary. Kelly a little full of herself, stalking and trying to take Lohan out with one shot: Lindsay's legs maintaining distance as Lohan pings away from outside. Any penetration from aggressive Kelly: Lohan clinches, wrestling her buxom opponent to ropes and holding her tight until ref's break. Not a lot of flush contact, but Lohan stabilizes her front, gets herself together in a reorganization second.

R3: More cagey Lohan - kid showing good presence of mind by playing it safe while she's still a little shaky. Linds loping to her right, worrying Monaco with that whippy, rangy left hand - Lohan pinging out the jab, or lashing long, lazy hooks which are followed by short, jotting straight right pokes. Kelly stalking, still smells blood in the water, but she's allowing too many clinches: Monaco can get inside, but can't work as wiry Lilo gobbles her up. Sloppy stuff - crowd a little restless: Lindsay mugging and mauling her way to more points, evening up the cards in pragmatic fashion.

R4: Kelly regroups - KO isn't there - she gets back to boxing. Smart looking stuff midring - on a par with Danes/Gellar or Bell/Portman. Lindsay dukes-up - pinging, elastic jabs; lashing hooks; that straight, short right hand ticketed for Kelly's chin as Lohan leans in close. Monaco's jab more pokey and sudden, punching into Lindsay's breasts or body as often as brow - Kelly sidestepping left or right after touching her girl. Lohan mostly headhunting: Kelly's attack more balanced, featuring both hooks and slanting right hands to Lindsay's midriff. Neither girl wobbled, but Kelly's landing a drifting right hand over Lohan's guard to chin, and Monaco's thumping body work clearly having some effect by the bell.

R5: Same again - smart boxing, both vixens. Lilo's technique lankier - she's coming forward a bit more now, stepping Kelly down: Monaco more a sidestepper, working in and out, changing levels, trying to hit and run. Lohan's jab-accuracy comes up a bit this round, disrupting Monaco's attacks - Kelly slowly pressed to the perimeter as Lindsay gradually becomes aggressor full-time. Nobody wobbled, but Lohan lands that lanky, wide left hook/short, abrupt straight right combo to get Kelly's respect in the fifth.

R6: Even through 5, Kelly comes out strong, continues her winning ways in Lohan's midsection to crowd Lindsay against the ropes. Kel working her way inside Lohan's jab, fighting off Lindsay's chest: tidy combinations bouncing off Lohan's flat gut; shrugging swipes sampling Lilo-jugg; nasty, licking hooks taking Lohan in her ribs. Lilo grimacing dukes-at-temples, occasionally looking to cuddle-up, but not punching back much. Lohan not working hard enough in the trenches gets outhustled by no nonsense veteran.

R7: Kelly trying to intrude: Lohan trying to deny her. Linds doing well when she can extend the jab, engage Monaco outside and keep Kelly at arm's reach. Kelly doing well when she can penetrate, fight shoulder to shoulder and snap her combinations off Lohan's wiry torso. Crowd pleasing give and take as both vixens get off, but down the stretch - Lohan's pinging jab knocks at Kelly's mouth, startling her onto her heels, straightening her up. Short right hand bingo on the teeth pounds back Kelly's head: lashing hook follow up toggles her chin and KELLY'S HURT! Monaco suddenly destitute, stumbling back in disarray: Lilo hopping forward jugs a-sloshing - she starts raking Kelly lathering, licking hooks and jotting crosses to the bell. Kelly badly rattled, blinking in confusion: Lohan beaming, bouncing back to her corner as she finally puts some hurt on her ageless foe.

R8: Kelly shows resilience, shaking off Lohan's late surge, dampening Lilo's enthusiasm with a punishing round of body punching. Linds getting too close, then simply covering up peekaboo while Kelly treats herself to torso: Monaco's vicious, snatching combinations just beating the freckles off Lindsay's taut frame. Linds shaking under the impacts, inching forward throughout: eventually she'll clinch for a break, but not before Kelly's lit her up. Goes like that - Lindsay walking Kelly down, Monaco initiating torrid ratatat sequences, then Lohan cuddling for breaks in a stop-and-go 8th.

R9: Lohan's lathering hook takes Kelly in her side, then brushes her backwards: follow up right hand POUNDS off face, nearly dropping Monaco at the ropes. Lilo hopping forward off the success, twitching her hips-right and stroking Kelly another hook: another drilling right catches Monaco staring as Lindsay dials in. Lilo hasn't done much to the body all night, but she gets there now with strapping, rangy left hooks: Kelly cramping up face-in-gloves as Lohan tucks in thick behind that right elbow. Monaco's turn to clinch - pale face pinched with hurt: Lohan starting to look stronger as she walks Kel to ropes, pins her down for breaks. Emphatic Lohan ninth - she's hounding Kelly, maybe breaking her down as Monaco falls off the pace.

R10: Lindsay closes the show, comes on strong to chase Kelly around the ring in the 10th. Monaco looking a little shopworn, a little puffy and scuffed: she's scampering now, not looking to engage - clearly doesn't want any more Lohan. Lindsay the type of girl you cannot show reluctance against: Kelly's evasions breathing fresh life into Lohan's trim legs as kid catches second wind. All Lindsay all the time - not landing much as Monaco shamelessly scoots around - but Linds loping, letting her hands go in pleasing, rangy licks: E-Z shutout Lindsay Lo to take the 1 point duke.

After: Kelly discouraged, flustered: she knows this was a close contest and she coughed it up late. Lohan flushed - scuffed up herself and well touched by her opponent, but Linds showing elements of a complete game tonight: boxing with intelligence; slugging with authority; discipline when hurt and when romping. Sadly, not much work done on Monaco's feisty, underated rack, but as Lohan says, "It's tough to work a girl's juggs when she's running for her life. I wanted to stand and go with her, but Kelly only wanted to fight when it was easy for her. She pounced early - like cougars always do - and when I didn't fold, she quit. That's why I won: I discouraged her with my fighting spirit."
