BEFORE: "I rate Laura a 6 for attractiveness - a 4 for fighting," Becks says briskly in prefight. Behind her - big screen slideshow slowly cycles through photos of devastated blondes Kate's claimed through the years. A smiling picture of Jenny McCarthy; slow-fade to a battered, disheveled Jenny Mac in a postfight; the word 'DEFEATED' slowly superimposing on the image before fade-to Kate Hudson, Jen Aniston, Lori Loughlin, Ashley Scott, and so on. "She's typical - a vapid American blonde like all the rest - she has no tools which can threaten me. As for her so-called 'looks' - she's bland, cookie cutter: I made a career of stealing auditions from such women when I still had to audition. Breaking this girl's heart will bring back fond memories for me!" Laura looking flabbergasted by Kate's pre-fight assault. "I don't think I've ever wanted to paste a girl so badly," Laura says of Kate at podium. "Maybe Serinda...it's close! Well first - I'm Canadian - but typical Kate not to know anything about anyone else. Second, I think she IS threatened by me - on every level. I've seen her wicked-witch glances at me - I know what they're all about. And third, I think as a fighter, it speaks volumes that this will be Kate's only fight at lightweight in ages - clearly she doesn't have as much confidence in herself as she'd like us to think. So I relish her attitude and I can't wait to punish her for it!" Kate in purple push up and panties from Esquire Sexiest Woman shoot; small black gloves; loose, long curly hair ala CLICK. Laura in midnight blue bikini from Into The Blue 2; small white gloves. Both girls arriving at the ring wearing long men's silk shirts over their fighting togs: lavender for Laura; shiny black for Kate.

During R1: Kate brawling/bodying Laura to ropes: brunette having her way early. Becks using forehead/raised elbows to push and prod her girl into position, then beating Laura's body. Becks carving in round, palm-down lefts and rights - chipping blonde ribcage - then digging close-in left uppercuts to tummy/breasts. Vandervoort grouchy, getting bumped and pumped: she can't get off the ropes, can't tie up. Midway through, Kate punishes Laura's breasts, then works to the face: hooks and uppercuts start to bang back Laura's head, rocking her world late. Heavy beating sustained by Laura down the stretch: right uppercuts loosening her, draping her on ropes; tight left hooks toggling her chin. Bell: Kate smoldering, pushing up off Laura and lingering there, forcing eye contact; Vandervoort frazzled, blinking...she knows she just got introduced to Kate Beckinsale Boxing big time.

R2: Fast-jab offence from wide stance, Laura - she's steppin' clockwise, peppering her foe. Kate keeping dukes at temples, elbows high as she turns and stalks. Sweeping blonde right spooks Kate, makes her duck: BITING left uppercut picks Kate up - Laura bending her back, weight on left (front) leg as she catches chin...DOWN GOES BECKINSALE! Gorgeous, sinewy lick a thing of beauty off the decoy right hand: Kate sitting in a puddle of shock, blinking in wonder. Creaky 8, Kate: Laura attacks the pocket via sidearm buggy-whip right hand loud in brunette left flank, followed by carving left uppercuts off left leg. Kate clipped and clipped again - she spends a rough second minute shipping it from Laura before stabilizing. Chopping receipts from Kate off the ropes make Vandervoort cautious late: cat and mouse as blonde girl stoops, jabs brunette tummy, trying to coax Kate out of her shell.

R3: Limber, lithe legs of Laura on show: she's circling left in wide stance, featuring a constant jab, keeping Kate out on the end of poke. Becks grumpy, turning, keeping her mitts up...she's blocking plenty of jabs, but getting scuffed up regardless. Laura deploying long, spearing rights down into Kate's ribs and stomach - taking advantage of Beckinsale's high elbows: Beckinsale grunting, trusting her body to take it rather than making any adjustments. Cruise-control third puts a fresh little smile on Laura's lips: Kate scuffed, disheveled, cranky with her corner for the break.

R4: Kate starting to time a short chopping right over Laura's jab...draws blonde into more toe-to-toe exchanges. Laura leaning in with dukes at cheeks/elbows pressed against her ribs: she's dipping at the waist, looking to lick uppercuts off the torso-bob. Kate's dukes at temples - she's chopping and clubbing at Laura in the exchanges - carving palm-down at the body, then coming back up top. Both ladies landing, but down the stretch...brace of short Beckinsale left hooks shakes Laura up, sends her wobbly-butt to her left. Kate steps-with, eyes hard as she jams out a stubby straight right to push Laura's chin down, KNOCKING LAURA TO HER BUTT! Blonde scooting to a halt...her turn to blink in astonishment, lips parted as she sits up pretty. Answer knockdown ties this thing up going into end of the first half.

R5: Laura proving disciplined, getting right back to the wide stance/lateral movement/swift jabbing look. Kate perplexed: Laura's longer, quicker than expected...Beckinsale turning, stalking behind raised mitts, but not getting off. Laura circling - issuing jabs to midsection as well as up top; bending in to stroke that sidearm buggywhip right to Kate's ribs/gouging, vicious left uppercuts off left leg. Kate chopping back in spots, trying to catch Laura counter-combos: blonde's higher work rate and zesty delivery woos judges.

R6: Kate doubling up her jab, closing, fighting off Laura's chest more often, enjoying her at ropes for long stretches. Kate rough inside - drawing warnings for tousle-scrubbing/hard elbow prods/shoulder bumps - but she's getting it done in Laura's body. Vandervoort grimacing - frequently punched to a seat in ropes: Kate making it her business to own Laura's torso through 6.

R7: Kate punishing Laura's ribcage hooks early; Laura backing up, mouthbreathing. Chopping right hand turns Laura's chin, locks up her legs: BLONDE GIRL DOWN a minute in as Kate strides by, seething. Laura up at 8, blinking away hurt: Kate immediately on her with a barrage to ribs - lefts and rights pum-pum-pummeling svelte blonde. Right uppercut brushes Laura back blinking to ropes: chopping right hand makes sure of Laura's face, turning it aside; short-chop left adds to facial reconstruction. Kate in there chugging, landing on Laura's pretty face with both hands in quick, clouting bursts and LAURA GOES DOWN! Blonde girl bludgeoned to her knees...brunette walking away hands on hips, huffing and puffing with her exertions. Gut check Laura: she beats the count, blinks back tears, digs in. Vandervoort's sinewy legs hold her up under determined siege: Beckinsale just squaring away, lowering her head and having-at those glorious blonde ribs. Bell: Kate digging in late insurance - ref pulls her away as Laura hugs body, sits in ropes all trembling and tender.

R8: Cue Rocky theme: Laura shakes off the hurt, gets back into her wide stance, using leg and jab to pick Kate apart. Becks in high guard, but getting repeatedly jabbed to her mouth/breasts/tummy...frustration growing as she just can't break blonde form. Kate lunging forward, trying to close: Laura lithely back from her, then turning her flank, re-establishing order with the jab. Wide, sweeping rights from Laura force Kate to duck into short, abrupt, NASTY left uppercuts: Laura arching her back, planting weight on left leg as she snaps these babies in. Withering stuff...Kate growing groggy as round/punishment progresses: she finally succumbs to a limber left uppercut - gobbling it, then wobbling hurt to all fours! Laura shouting down in triumph - pushed back by ref: her blood is up as she gets one knockdown back at least.

R9: Becks busting up, discouraged: she's looking sluggish, once again encircled and vexed by leggy, jabbing blonde. Laura swiftly about her business - jabbing the body, jabbing the head - stitching in and out ala Sarah Carter: Kate's fists holstered for the most part, holding position at her temples. Laura deploying straight, spearing rights down into Kate's body, or wide, buggywhip rights into the flank: blonde girl getting payback to the body, stiffening up Kate's 30 something legs. Bell: Kate mouthbreathing, glaring with mix of frustration/hate; Laura glares right back, nostrils flaring. Two of the prettiest faces in boxing lumping up nicely through 9.

R10: Kate's tired, vexed: Laura's at her with vigor. Becks trying to lunge in, looking to force exchanges of combinations: Laura scampering away from pressure, circling, curling back in, punishing Kate the jab. Laura masterful the way she slow-plays wide right hands at Kate's head - getting her to duck: jagged left uppercuts lick at brunette chin, cleaning her up, putting her wobbly butt. Crowd roaring as Laura gets excrutiating left uppercuts to Kate's chin midway through: Beckinsale curvy legs/underated buns hold her up as she's tested. Down the stretch, Laura has Kate out on the end of poke: blonde girl doing as she pleases - landing to head and body as brunette guts out the round. Comes back UD10 draw: both girls pasted puffy.

After: Beckinsale fuming - majestic body aching, Worlds Sexiest Face all touched up...she had her hands full with a young, rangy blonde tonight. "I bet she respects me NOW," says an equally scuffed up Laura V in postfight interview with BLONDE! Mag reporters. Laura still getting Enswell pressed under her left eye as she speaks: "She's very good - very rough and sneaky - but I felt I was the better boxer. My corner reminded me to stay disciplined and focussed, because she was catching me with stuff...we always wanted to get back into our stance, work the jab and make her gamble. If she hadn't put me down that extra time in the 7th, I would've had her, 'cause I OWNED her after that!"
