Before Maxim/FHM money behind both girls, but Stevens basically working the British circuit, brought in for a splashy Cuthbert debut showcase. “She’s the next Alyssa Milano,” brays one Maxim spokesman of Elisha. “Kid’s a crowd pleasing banger, she’s got bantamweight power, and she’s got the kind of chassis that puts fans in the seats.” Rachel low key, but confident in the wings--she still remembers the hype surrounding her own ring debut, and the subsequent hush when reality sank in. Stevens in cotton two piece undies, blue top, red bottoms, frosted hair, Elisha in black bikini, tawdry see-through orange, cropped tank top over top.

During R1: Girls pitching right hands facing into the blows. Rachel driving Cuthbert backwards as both jaws get tested. Punishment on the ropes for Elisha-she’s digging in and slugging, but getting worked over, Stevens compact, pressing up with her head and guard, getting hard hooks and short uppercuts into Cuthbert’s quivering belly, bulging jugs.

R2: Both girls guarding up ion the other, pressing and nudging, but Stevens doing all the punching. Elisha leaving in, gloves on cheeks--Stevens methodical, working the gut, clubbing the flanks, clipping tit and chin on the inside. Rachel pretty as she gets off, using an extended left elbow to measure her girl, snapping brisk punches in, stepping around to get Elisha’s feet shuffling. Bell sounds: Elisha’s face concerned eyes staring--Rachel’s putting in good minutes.

R3: Elisha combative, she wants to mix it up and Rachel’s obliging. Girls cuddling up on each other, cheek to cheek, pulling each other’s hands down and shoulder-butting, but nobody’s clinching or looking to rest. Cuthbert’s bravery costs her--Stevens able to get a booming overhand right as she ducks down, pulls it over top. Pounding contact on blonde face and that body work has Elisha grimacing at the bell.

R4: Shoulder to shoulder, short clubbing lefts and rights, Stevens banging away ears and body to drive Elisha ropeside. Stevens shouldering and palming, gets a little distance, bends into that clanging overhand right and CUTHBERT’S DOWN! Blonde head blasted back--Lishy out for a sec, dropping to the canvas and curling onto her side as Rachel straddles, taunting the blonde to get up. E beats the count, but she’s drifting--Rachel’s got 2 minutes on the clock. Heartless beating--ref issuing breaks. Stevens blowing hair out of her eyes and stomping back in--she’s giving Elisha no respite. Stevens loving it, backside jiggling as she works, feet widespread, upper body brawny on the wilting blonde, Cuthbert occasionally sobbing out “UHHHH!” and doubling over from body shots--crowd groaning in sympathy.

R5: same story--Rachel hungry, bright eyed, anxious to get back on her girl--Elisha ragged, wobbly butt but defiant--she’s determined to give Rachel rounds. Pro-Cuthbert crowd reacting whenever Rachel tees off with that clobbering overhand right , or digs loud hooks to Cuthbert’s trembling midriff, Elisha’s punching back in spots, but it’s hurt her more than it is Rachel: Stevens hammering away at the openings as Cuthbert stands right there, back to the ropes, pushing mindless leather. Cuthy sent to her corner shabby--looking like she’s been kicked out of bed.

R6: Sensational two way punching--hardest fought round of the fight, Midring, girls going forehead to forehead, pressing guards on one another, taking turns with God-awful rips to perky tummies and scrounging at offending cleavage--shots so short they’re catching plenty of shoulder and forearm on follow through. 3 breathless minutes--Stevens back to the ropes for the first time, shes starting to cover up as Elisha unleashes. Furious punching after the bell on an unresponsive Stevens: Cuthbert determined to make up the stagger.

R7: Pace leaving Elisha winded after the blistering sixth, she comes out, flat, exhausted--Rachel’s still punching hard, Stevens muscling up, putting blonde butt in the ropes and breaking out the baseball at. Quiet stretches with Rache bodying up on Elisha punctuated with sudden digging body shots and loud shouts of pain from the blonde--crowd groaning in sympathy as Cuthbert buckles time and again. E avoiding the shutout late with tepid work--Rachel having no trouble keeping her girl pinned to the ropes at the point.

R8: It’s a beating now and Rachel’s going for it like a dog on pot roast. Cuthbert windblown, extending her arms stupidly while punches bash of her face and breasts stumbling forward into Rachel’s thumping body shots--Stevens apparently insatiable when it comes to punishing Elisha. End not in doubt--blonde trying to smother but getting stacked up by punches--Rachel moving her hands, beating her girl about the belly and breasts with relentless zeal until a dazed Elisha Cuthbert sinks to her hands and knees. Lishy trying to rise but she’s all smacked up--ref waves the massacre off as Rachel jumps for jiggly joy. KO8 Rachel Stevens.

After: Cuthbert blubbering, batter4ed and bewildered as she sobs to he corner, asking for answers. Stevens getting the hugs and congratulations she’s always wanted--big PPV win for the Brit one of her best and most thorough career performances. “I’m so thrilled to have been able to welcome Elisha Cuthbert to the FCBA,“ crows the chesty popstar. “I can only hope that she goes on to have many, many more frights like this one.
