BEFORE: "Cassie's a bytchy little whiner," Amy Jo shrugs, candid as always, "but from what I've seen, she's the most talented of the new girls - on par with Hayden, obviously - since she battered Hayden. Thing I don't like is how she's been getting away with murder and nobody's really drawing a line in front of her and telling her 'this is as far as you go.' I'm definitely going to draw a line in that ring, and show this girl her limitations." Scerbo scowling prettily as usual, anxious for rebuttal. "I've got respect for Amy Jo," Cassie admits at podium, "she's like a Hayden with brains - but she's also way, way too old to compete in this division. I'm planning a beating that will strip away her dignity and show her that it's time to hang 'em up. I can't be satisfied with anything less than an Amy Jo Johnson retirement!" Amy Jo in yellow bikini top/sturdy green bottoms twist-tied at right hip; small black gloves; frisky gym-rat ponytail. Cassie in white sport-bra/shades of blue splash-print bikini bottoms; small white gloves; hair in ornate french braid (classy/slick/functional).

During R1: BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Exchange in chopping right hands sees Cassie's right (back) knee give way and touch down: she pops back up, but she's blinking in alarm. Amy Jo a-grinnin' - she pours into Cassie's generous rack, giving those ingenue puppies a pounding, backing Scerbo to ropes, then reefing hooks to waist as Cassie cringes forward behind mitts. First minute hell on earth for Cassie, but second minute sees her trade viciously off the ropes - hooking her way into the clear and opening up the canvas. Jitterbugging footwork; stabbing/stubby jabs as Cassie scoots in and out - turning Amy Jo midring, touching her up. Bell: Hard look of respect from Amy Jo as Cassie fights hard under adversity; Scerbo scowling/pouring on the stomp back to her corner.

R2: Withering one-twos from Cassie vs lean-away check hooks from Amy Jo: Amy J gets tagged a clean right to chin and THERE GO HER LEGS! Johnson stepping in fence post holes, grimacing as Scerbo goes breadbasket via vicious, ripping hooks off the front (left) leg: Johnson backing away in pain. Cassie stays on body - scooting in and out with those bouncy feet - thumping right roundhouses off Amy's left flank; digging up Amy's tummy hooks. Scerbo's footwork SO energetic - Amy Jo turning in earmuff, hunkering down: she can't draw a bead as Cassie stitches in/out. Down the stretch, lunging Scerbo right checks Amy's chin again: Johnson's legs spasming, sending her reeling to ropes...Pasting follow up sees Scerbo flurry majestically with both hands blazing/teeth bared. Goes 10-8 without the knockdown: Amy Jo busting up, staring in shock at blonde sock.

R3,4: Cassie spends 6 minutes humbling Amy Jo with hand-and-foot speed: little blonde scooter just too kinetic. Johnson keeping dukes up - face grim as she digs in/turns on the spot: she's rarely ever seen a little bouncer like this. In/out stubby jabbing to body and head; sweeping right roundhouses thumping off leftside ribs; scouring hooks digging tummy/ribs/flanks - often as Scerbo's executing clockwise pivots. Straight-poke receipts from Amy Jo die on Cassie's mitts, or miss her ever-bobbing head. Blonde youth trumps brunette experience as Amy Jo basically concedes the minutes - just reading her girl/getting the timing down.

R5: Amy Jo finds an answer: timing jabs. Amy taking a little half-step back in anticipation of pressure - tapping Cassie jabs-to-pate as blonde scoots in - then beating Scerbo to follow up flurries. Scerbo not shutout, but she's being steered into punching lanes - briskly touched up after Amy Jo's jab sets the table. Action is sporadic - coming in bursts - both girls pitching: Johnson's ring generalship finally trumps Cassie's ballistic attack.

R6: Stalemate evolves...Amy Jo creating gaps/timing her jab onto Scerbo's forehead/flurrying with Scerbo: both girls land punches. Even stevens until late: Cassie dips torso-left, places a sumptuous left hook firm to liver...Amy Jo gurgling, cringing, forced to cover up hurt rather than answer. Cue follow up: Cassie punishes Johnson's body with an assortment of heavy right hands wide/digging left hands gouged up the middle...she's still bouncing mitts off meat after the bell.

R7; Cassie circling, scooting in and out - legs springy, feet jitterbugging, hands up, punches sudden-and-pounding. Amy Jo parrying shots off her gloves, keeping hands up, maneuvering away from pressure: older gal doing a good job preserving herself, denying most combat on Scerbo's terms, walking blonde in and making Cassie fight for points. Scerbo's the aggressor though: judges see it, recognize it on the cards.

R8: Amy Jo's jab knocks at Cassie's face, blunting blonde attack time and again. Johnson able to two-jab Cassie while rotating clockwise: blonde getting a dose of her own medicine as brunette shows angles. Cassie jabbing back ferociously, looking to close and get off: Amy Jo still reluctant to stand in and bang - often denying offers to exchange. Pinpoint potshotting plays to Amy's advantage late: she places a clean right hand onto Scerbo's chin, turning blonde head sharply (and very visibly) aside near bell.

R9: Amy Jo pouring in 3 punch combos: jab; right hand stubby up top; left hook bouncing off liver. Scerbo grimacing, shying away...she's hurt in her body! Amy Jo hopping-to, walking Cassie down: brunette diligent about her blonde's torso - bouncing both hands wide off flanks, looking to pick Cassie up uppercuts jug and face as Scerbo's bending forward. Pressure from Amy Jo: she forces Cassie to fight grim little engagements all along the ropes - brunette forehead to forehead with her blonde, punishing Scerbo's body. Bell: extra left hook finds Cassie's tummy a smidge late - she's stamping her foot, howling up at ref as Amy Jo rolls veteran eyes/shakes veteran head in disgust.

R10: The poise of Amy Jo - staying within herself - boxing Cassie early, walking aggressive blonde into traps, discouraging her, then taking the fight to her as blonde attacks wane. Amy Jo stalking Cassie - jabbing her, hooking her body, stepping into her with left shoulder and bumping her off. Scerbo sulking/scowling - she's puffy from punishment, mouth breathing...it's not how she imagined herself coming in. Nothing fancy from Johnson - calm pursuit, no stupid risks: she's working Cassie's midsection and flanks over, then crowding close to jerk uppercuts preparatory to clinching. Bell: pumping right hand finds Cassie's rack just a smidge late...ref separates little wildcats as grinning Amy goads her disappointed foe. Comes back UD10...draw!

After: Cassie sulking prettily, glaring around, bytching about the officiating/judging...expected romp to victory turned into grim struggle for survival tonight as Amy shows her quality. Johnson non-plussed - she's disappointed as well: "I saw myself stopping her late," Amy Jo says in postfight, hands on hips, face puffy. "I just thought I was too much for her, but she shocked me with her toughness and determination. She LOOKS like the kind of girl who'd crap her pants if you slapped her face, but she's really the sort to come back at you with both hands whirling. Very quick, hard hitting little fighter. I underestimated her a bit and she stole minutes from me as a result."
