Thanks to FightFan for this repost.


Before: "Whenever a Krusher beauty has to take on a TE tramp," Christie chirps in prefight, "we always know we're going to be the better conditioned, better prepared athlete coming in. That's a huge advantage in any fight - but especially now - with Janet back calling the shots - we've got TE totally outgunned at every position. We've got a new mantra in camp thanks to JJ, and it's: 'Champions Work The Body'. Just when Terry thought things were bad enough, now she's going to have to deal with me in her breadbasket all night long!" Farrell pursing her lips at the sauce - nothing quite like Krusher swagger to irritate hard working brunettes like Terry. "Somebody should tell Christie that I'm allowed to punch the body too," Terry quips, gently taking the piss out of her blonde. "Somebody should also tell her that it's well and good to SAY you're going to work the body - it's usually another thing entirely to do it. Here's an idea: let's FIGHT, and see what actually happens. You never know - sometimes, a pesky little thing like reality occasionally interferes with this trance-like state the Krushers are known for. See you soon Christie - here's a hint: bring sunscreen." Farrell waiting, waiting - Brinkley finally shrugs, shakes her head in confusion: "Because you're going to get burned," Terry concludes triumphantly. Terry in crisp white sports bra, royal blue bottoms with white belt; white shoes, no socks; white gloves; slick low ponytail. Christie in yellow sports bra, navy big-girl fit bottoms (more of a snug wrestling trunk); white shoes, no socks; white gloves; low ponytail with wispy bangs.

During R1: Stop and go engagements - Terry managing traffic with her jab, calmly intercepting Christie with poke, steering her into the right hand, tieing her up, walking her around for breaks. Brinkley rocked hard on occasion - coming in with no head movement, eating straight rights on her mouth - blonde big and strong, walks through it, but crowd reacting to Terry's crunching authority in a shutout first.

R2: Christie still coming forward, but jabbing-with now, taking her time: she's not trying to cover the gap all in one rush. Brinkley pawing or stabbing her jab, crouching, weaving forward - she's working her way in, then swinging a thick, sidearm right to Terry's paunch. Farrell jabbing Christie on her way in, but clinching once blonde penetrates - muscular, staggering embraces as both girls stamp for position. Brinkley the stronger vixen tummy to tummy - walking Terry to ropes and roughing her up before every ref's break with cheap forearms, shoulders and billygoat action. Rubbin's boxing - points to Christie.

R3: Hotly contested action midring. Girls operating out of flat footed, gunplatform stances - jabbing chests and faces, looking for right hands, then falling in to wrestle and maul big-girl. Terry's right cross still a menace to Christie coming in; Brinkley's rough pushing and pulling destabilizing Terry when the two lock up. Both girls getting things done, but down the stretch, Brinkley's able to establish wrap - riding her left arm across Terry's upper back, slumping her forward for a series of pumping right hands flat to midsection. Farrell groaning, momentarily paralyzed as Christie salts away the round in the dying moments.

R4: Christie starting to walk Terry down. Brinkley consistently enjoying a heavy right hand to Terry's waistline - occasionally doubling up on the punch while the left creeps around Terry's back to hold her in place. Farrell frowning, trying to create space - but Christie very useful with clinching and weight-bearing tactics - muscling Farrell to ropes and bullying her until ref's breaks. Farrell disheveled, frustrated, getting pressurized here. Bell: sunny smile Chris Brinkley - ponytail swaying happily as she struts back to corner. Terry cranky, wincing, looking touched up through 4.

R5: Terry more aggressive with her jab now - stepping it in with spearing intentions, really punching back Christie's head. Brinkley on her heels from poke - Terry able to flow forward with right hands, then put a body on blonde, taking Chris to ropes. Stop and go action - ref tugging big-girls apart, spreading 'em out - Farrell very workmanlike as she takes a little walk about to re-orient Chris, then targeting her from outside for the next drive. Terry working Christie to the perimeter - Brinkley unable to fight going backwards.

R6: Farrell just working the plan. Stepping, stooping, jabbing stiff to chest and face, backing Christie up and getting on top of her. Farrell getting a nice shoving right hand to the pit of Brinkley's paunch as the girls come together: Chris all cranky as she ties up, face unhappy over Terry's right shoulder. Constant ref's breaks - girls falling in together after almost every sequence - usually Terry bodying Christie to ropes. Brinkley fighting back in spots - often off the ropes: girls just hanging chins out over opposing shoulders, lifting heavy, strapping wallop into ribs and tummy in thick, sloshing sequences.

R7: Farrell continues to walk Christie down - Terry's jab punishing and polishing, paving the way for the rest of her agenda. Christie freezing after taking poke - she's yielding initiative, then just standing there as Terry bores in. Farrell able to land firm right hands to Brinkley's sturdy chin - tossing that famous face aside - then pile in. Plenty of big-girl mauling against the ropes - Farrell lifting long armed punches into Krusher midsection - then slopping wide, round punches in behind the elbows. Christie grimacing, suffering, but fighting back: Brinkley very brave under pressure, usually holding her own at the perimeter. Terry takes more points, but can't impose her will: Christie proving very stubborn tonight.

R8: Subtle change in the wind: action has the same stop-and-go rhythm - but now it's Christie walking Terry back, Christie making Terry take weight. Farrell pushed to the ropes and mauled - girls very strong legged, planting firm and leaning in with torsos to struggle chest to chest. Christie holding and hitting - controlling Terry with one arm wrapping, the other digging up underneath - blonde just methodically shoveling on shellack with thumping persistence. Farrell mouthbreathing, grimacing - she's fitting her right hand into Christie's body from close range, but the smothering distance is more to Brinkley's liking. Sloppy round goes to Christie as Terry can't get off the ropes.

R9: Similar stuff - Terry having moments midring after ref's breaks create distance - but she can't maintain it. Brinkley jabbing her way in, getting on top, unashamed to wrestle and maul, hold and hit: she's making this an ugly, sloppy fight. Terry staggering under the weight of Christie, trying to push her off, trying to stay off the ropes - but Brinkley always eventually able to bull Farrell to cables, landing cheap until ref tugs 'em apart. Brinkley body attack finally taking numbing effect - Terry very war-weary - pushing Chris back by her shoulders for breathing room, but blonde with the momentum, just wades back on in. Farrell sliding to her right at the ropes: Christie steps with, her chin out over Terry's left shoulder - blonde lifting heavy, looselimbed bodyblows into Farrell's undercarriage for beefy points.

R10: Poor Terry - she's just exhausted - eyes hollow, face dismayed as Christie wades on in yet again. Brinkley just sustaining the same slow, mauling pace she has all night - but it's constant - a constant drain on Terry's body and spirit. Farrell pressed to ropes and worked over - Christie moving her chin from one brunette shoulder to the other, hoisting punches up into the midsection and ribcage like she's swinging pales of water into Terry. Farrell groaning, tieing up, sagging back into ropes for breaks - she just can't keep Brinkley off at this point. Christie marches bell to bell on Terry, handing out a thick, one sided drubbing to take the 10th and the fight via UD10.

After: Terry chagrined, hands on hips as ref lifts Christie's hand in victory - Brinkley beaming, resplendent in victory as she takes Terry 6 rounds to 4. Don't look now - Brinkley's on a bit of a roll - ancient supermodel showing no signs of creakiness as she bludgeons and beefs her way through a wide open division. As the girls and media are milling about in ring afterwards - Brinkley passes by Terry's right flank and casually tosses a tube of Coppertone to Farrell. Christie grinning cheekily: Terry rolling her eyes, pursing her lips as Brinkley scores nicely in postfight.
