Before: Brief scuffling during prefight following a Clarkson comment on Erika's 'pudding gut' - "I hope she takes a punch better than she does a joke," Kelly quips at the podium once dust settles. "All I'm saying is, Erika's soft and I'm tuff: do the math!" Christensen ill amused, cheeks rosey red with anger at the dais. "I'm knocking Kelly out and that's all there is to it," Erika fumes. "She's a smart-mouthed little tramp who needs a beating. I just hope she gives me a few rounds to go at her good: no first round swan dives, Kelly - I want to work you over before you say goodnight." Clarkson in purple bikini, yellow gloves. Erika in vertical wide-bar bikini going from pale blue to deep violet; white gloves. Erika still hot under the collar during ring instructions, scowling, refusing to touch gloves with Kelly.

During R1: Buxom bombast from Erika: teeth bared, she's sailing into Kelly with wide-swinging lefts and rights, beating at Clarkson's flanks as Kelly covers up to ride it out. When Christiansen's done, Kelly comes out of her guard to bop back, taking Erika in her tummy-mound and jugs - swinging hopefully for chin as Erika's wide open. Christiansen's weight of shot prevails late: Clarkson finishing up the round tucked in behind her mitts, feeling the heft of Erika's punches bouncing off shoulders and flanks.

R2: Erika hurt Kelly early with a swinging right hand to paunch: Clarkson buckling, retreating to ropes as Erika walks her down. Middle minute shows Kelly at her feisty best - hurt in her body and pinned down at the ropes, she proves a little slugger, belting away tasty at Erika's tummy and jugs, giving every bit as good as she's getting. Christiansen won't be denied however - she stands her ground, swinging away mindlessly and eventually beating Clarkson into a defensive shell. Round finishes up with Kelly breathless, sitting in the ropes, hands up earmuffing her head as Christiansen belts away big-girl at the bell.

R3: Kelly's strategy starts to pay off as Erika's still coming at her wide, but fatigue starting to slow Christiansen's attack. Clarkson huddling in behind her gloves, then answering back stubby - she's punching-with and catching Erika on her face. Christiansen buffetted off balance at times, but always game - girls starting to fall in together, ride their guards into each other as each pushes the other around in between brawling exchanges.

R4: Kelly continues to make inroads. Clarkson sporting a stubby little jab now - right hand nice and high as she prods her left into Erika's cheek. Clarkson wading in with straight-chopping rights and lefts, backing Erika up with sheer ferocity: Christensen getting face-punched, stomping back on her heels a bit now. Kelly able to push Erika to ropes and fight off her chest: Clarkson just muscling side to side punches onto Erika's paunch, pounding the pudding as promised.

R5: Both girls tiring - leaning in on each other to push, walking each other around, riding guards into each other's shoulders. Both setting down and punching with heavy leverage more than volume now - Kelly loading up her hook while Erika's depending on thudding right hands. Close round, but no question - Christiansen's lugging underhand rights to the pit of Clarkson's belly are the heaviest blows of the round, shaking Kelly's curvy legs on impact.

R6: Li'l miss feisty, Kelly Clarkson, getting it done with sheer exuberance, beating Erika to punches and putting Christianson on her heels. Erika backing up is a helpless fighter - she's just got her hands up, trying to block shots as Kelly pours forward. Clarkson in a groove - stubbing out her jab on Erika's face, chest or guard, banging away the straight right, finishing up with the jab. Whenever Erika goes to ropes, Kelly pushes in to fight off the chest, hooking either hand to Erika's trembling middle. Christiansen huffing and puffing, wincing from the body work - she's pulling Kelly into clinches more and more often, trying to bog the little juggernaut down.

R7: Once again, Erika the bigger puncher, having her moments, but she just can't sustain her energy against non-stop Kelly punching. Clarkson taking a good punch, never getting discouraged - sooner or later her enthusiasm engulfs Erika, forcing her into retreat to ropes. Clarkson working hard down the stretch - mopping Erika's upperchest and shoulders with face; reaching in under Erika's arms, pulling at her hands to disorganize her guard; pumping, chugging and digging at the beef, making Erika soak it up to the body. Bell: Kelly peeling stickily off tired Erika - Clarkson bubbly, grinning en route to her corner. "I'm using her up!" she chirps happily to her trainer.

R8: Bell to bell Kelly - she has her way with Erika, working the actress over stem to stern. Christiansen just demoralized, stooping forward sullen behind her mitts, curvy body soaking up leather as Kelly beats her without pity. Tuff uppercuts take Erika in her breasts - she straightens up groggily from the blows, face all cramped and bytchy. When Christiansen lies back on the ropes, hands up: Kelly strafes her energetic, straight lefts and rights, bashing away at the defences. When Erika wilts forward behind her mitts - Kelly hooks her to the body, or dips-n'-digs either hand up underneath, taking Erika in her tummy. Bell: Clarkson bubbling over with puncher's glee - "PUDDING!" she shouts into Erika's shopworn, discouraged face.

R9: Erika responds to the taunting like a fighter, standing her ground, pushing into Kelly and making Clarkson back up for a change. Murky, sloppy stuff - girls falling in together, straining to walk the other back: more often than not, Christiansen able to struggle forward, eventually muscling Clarkson to ropes. Kelly still pitchin' off the ropes - choosing spots to uncover herself and slug. Erika slamming away beefy - really steering big, round rights and lefts into Kelly's flanks and tummy. Erika warned for pushing down on Kelly's upperback with one forearm while bashing away the free mitt. Christiansen's round her first in a while.

R10: Kelly just prodding her stubby jab at Erika's face, disrupting Christiansen, making her stand upright and back up: RIGHT HAND KELLY CLARKSON! Kelly steps in and fetches Erika a crashing right onna chops: Christiansen turns away, showing her back to Kelly while staggering hurt to ropes. Clarkson happily pouncing, bouncing mitts off backside and scalp as dazed Erika is hounded ropeside: Christiansen able to earmuff up and sit in the cables as Kelly unleashes. Unbridled puncher's passion the kind of thing we might see from a Dani Fishel or a crazed JMD'r who smells knockout - Kelly pinning her ears back and swinging away at her cringing foe. Christiansen solid as the Bismark, shipping a terrible buffetting and refusing to go down. Sadly, Erika does eventually turn her right shoulder into the ropes, giving up her left flank as she covers her head. She finishes the fight cowering thus - little Kelly baring her teeth, hustling punches into her foe with thump-thump right/left plugging action to bell. UD10, Kelly Clarkson.

After: Erika spent, hair dishevelled, eyes bleak with embarrassment as Kelly's hand is raised in victory. Christiansen just unable to match her kinetic foe's exuberant pace - Erika's big swinging heft not decisive as she fought much of the contest off her heels, or covering up. Afterwards - ring filled with entourages, officials and press - playful Kelly pinches an inch of flab at Erika's pale hip: Christiansen enraged and all hell breaks loose as fresh brawling erupts. Tawdry stuff - Kelly acting in good fun, but showing poor judgement as Erika reacts poorly indeed. "She's a sore loser," Kelly shrugs in postfight, "in more ways than one!"
