BEFORE: Lightweight super-powers collide: all part of Yvonne's "isolate Kelly Brook" strategy. "A lot of people are saying that this fight is for the real lightweight championship," Yvonne says in prefight, "and I agree. The winner of me and Erica will be impossible for Kelly to ignore, which is why I'm taking the risk now - to surround Kelly Brook and take away her legitimate options. But I can't look past Erica Durance: if I lose, my whole campaign to get Kelly back in the ring will be ruined!"
Durance also recognizing the special nature of the bout. "If you can have a super-fight between TV girls - this is it," Durance smiles. "I love huge events - and you can't always get an Yvonne Strahovski in the ring when you want - it's like she said, if there wasn't a sweetener in the pot for her, she probably wouldn't take the fight. I think she IS looking past me though - Yvonne's a little obsessed with Kelly and that's going to bite her in the butt, because when you take the ring against Erica Durance, you need to be 100% engaged, or you're gonna get 100% beat!"
Erica in royal blue sport top; crimson bikini bottoms; yellow gloves; hair in perky ponytail/swept bangs. Yvonne in metallic teal bikini; white gloves; hair in long low ponytail with whispy strands framing her face.
During R1: Stiff blonde jab pounds at Erica's top; whistling Durance right-hand receipt just grazes Yvonne's cheek as she's circling away. Strahovski back at Erica with the stiff jab/right hand combo; Durance hooking the ribs, trying for a clubbing overhand right. Back and forth, sizzling stuff - Straho using her legs outside to circle-and-curl-in on Erica: both beauties letting hands go in rapid-fire exchanges. Yvonne separates herself on the strength of one sequence: torrid, free-swinging lathering of Erica's ribs - Straho's arms shivering upon slamming contact, momentarily bunching Durance up.
R2: Straho pumping the jab early, humbling Erica's rack: Durance gets the timing right on a blunt right hand counter to jaw that has blonde girl stepping in fence post holes. Muscular follow up sees Erica pound Yvonne to ropes via walking-barrage of left/rights to ribcage: Straho forms peek-a-boo pocket, torso rolling off ropes. Cue beatdown: Erica squares away - pumping the jab to prep, then she's leaning in with thudding rights, placing 'em in the waist, or wide to the ear/jaw. Yvonne attempting to spin out of there: Erica reaching in, bodying her blonde down, keeping Straho pinned, then pushing free of her clutches to avoid ref's breaks. Punishing, relentless stuff - Durance systematically beating down Yvonne's defences until STRAHOVSKI TAKES A KNEE! Yvonne flushed, panting - easing herself to right knee...better that than potentially succumbing to Erica's power early.
R3: Strahovski leggy, trading space for time to get her self together: Erica in hot pursuit. Yvonne hard to corral: she's changing directions; bouncing off the ropes to billiard-ball herself around Erica; lowering the left shoulder into Erica's midsection, then turning her on the spot before disengaging. Durance relentless though - dukes at her chin as she walks Yvonne down - digging both hands tuff to ribcage at every opportunity. Both girls get some of what they want: Yvonne denies Erica any decisive battle; Durance continues to bang her foe's sleek chassis with hands like medicine balls.
R4: Straho jabs Erica's face, then her tummy - stepping away from receipts and walking counterclockwise, scowling over her left shoulder at Durance. Erica pursuing, but failing to cut off the ring: Yvonne's jab dictating, scoring - touching Durance up face/rack/tummy. Straho nimble, quick - able to dart in, touch the belly, dart out: Durance having a tough time pulling the trigger. Down the stretch, Yvonne's right hand springs off her shoulder to turn Erica's chin aside: Durance forms earmuff, stooped forward in shock. Lathering blonde body-wallop ensues: Yvonne leaning in, swinging almost straight-arm lefts and rights at Durance' ribcage as Erica's left arm extends, trying to wrap around Yvonne's hip without success. Torrid pounding paralyzes Erica - her extended left opeing up her torso: Straho's beating leaves Durance panting, wobbly-butt at bell!
R5: Strahovski circling around her jab: eyes frosty as she triggers poke, pounding at Erica's face with stiff connects. Durance lifting mitts to temples, pursuit slowing: she's being jabbed into compliance. Yvonne stoops, reaches left jab to tummy - circles around the score - feints Erica - then jabs tummy again: blonde girl in control. Durance eventually coaxed into parrying the body jab, exposing her chin to that streaking Strahovski right cross! Gorgeous connect midway through - Yvonne bending in with the punch, pursing her lips as she turns Erica's face to the right: Durance' strong legs hold her up, but she's wobbly butt again. Yvonne immediately to the body soon as she's got Erica hurt: blonde girl lashing her foe without mercy - swinging lefts and rights at ribs with an almost straight arm delivery reminiscent of - hate to admit it: Sugar Ray Robinson! Bell: Seething eye contact, Yvonne to Erica...
Durance/Strahovski conc.

R6: Brutal, blistering toe-to-toe as Yvonne looks to grind Durance, only to find more resistance than anticipated. Erica baring her teeth, thumping right hands off Strahovski's midsection, then hooking her tight up top. Yvonne clobbered, but willful, standing in the pocket and lashing back wide to the ribs with both hands, then looking up top for chin. Both girls withstand gobsmacking knocks - crowd roaring as one other other absorbs - but neither wilts: it's savage, sustained ferocity. Erica a smidge tougher, more resolute, willing to take Yvonne's best shots in order to press the attack and come forward. Bell: Durance's scuffed up face triumphant - forcing jubilant eye-contact on a scowling Yvonne through 6.
R7: Girls continue to pound at each other without mercy or reluctance. Yvonne: left shoulder directed at Erica; left at gut; right stacked atop left, just under the chin...she's dipping at the waist, using her left shoulder/chickenwing left elbow to bump and nudge, setting up lashing swat-n'-cuff combos. Erica: dukes at temples...she leans in to bump her forearms against Yvonne, then she's hooking jug or tummy; hooking chin; chopping in blunt right hands. Torrid back and forth - maybe Yvonne a little slicker defensively, rolling the odd shot with her left shoulder - she just might be getting the better of too-close-to-call trading.
R8: Yvonne changes tack - assuming forward aspect, her right (back) heel up off canvas as she pounds left jabs. Erica in earmuff, looking to weave her way in close: Yvonne jabbing her, then ripping fish-hook left uppercuts off the front (left) leg, then cuffing left hooks while executing pivot-left maneuvers. One-twos up top from Yvonne, following by spanking left hooks downstairs: Erica getting belted, unable to penetrate. Masterful stuff...Straho's eyes narrowed, nostrils flaring - very intense here as she circles, manages her foe, picks Erica apart like a hardhearted blonde surgeon through 8. Bell: Durance bleeding from the nose, looking a little spellbound: the LOOK Yvonne gives her over the left shoulder as fighters pass!
R9: Again Yvonne elects toe-to-toe, determined to impose will: this time it works. Oh that whacking, free-swinging body assault: straight-arm lefts and rights shivering upon contact with ERica's aching ribs and tummy. Durance groaning - inching her way forward, extending her left arm to tie up: Yvonne able to lick away inside and outside of that arm, beating body. Strahovski pushing on ERica while sidestepping-right - blonde girl turning her foe, lashing her body, frustrating her spirit. Midway through, cleaving right hand chops in over ERica's left shoulder: Durance' knees give a shimmy as she stumbles forward in earmuff. Yvonne stands in the pocket, issues limber bolo right uppercut to Erica's breadbasket: brunette moans in pain, doubling up hurrrrt. Vicious buggywhip right hands, Yvonne Strahovski: she's angling in on Erica's left flank, chopping away at the hip/back and DURANCE GOES DOWN! Strongest legs in the lightweight division finally give way...Erica panting on all fours, face stricken...Yvonne shouting to the ceiling, her eyes shut tight, arms rigid at her sides. Durance beats the count shabby, slumping against ropes for support when Yvonne comes for her: Strahovski back to the body - blonde girl twisting side to side on her hips, lashing home the hurt as Durance grimaces, takes to bell.
R10: Erica sucking it up: badly worked over last round, she comes out slugging, pounding a terrific right hand to Yvonne's upperchest, knocking blonde girl off-stance. Slugging ensues: Yvonne ripping the right uppercut off her back (right) leg - using that chicken-wing left elbow to push Erica off. Durance lowering her head, mindlessly at her foe with bludgeoning lefts and rights to ribcage: Yvonne beaten breathless at points, her mouth open in pain. Yvonne sidestepping-right, getting an angle for that cruel buggywhip right hand above Erica's left hip: Durance sobbing aloud upon taking it, strong legs holding her up. Crowd screaming at the bell as classy, well-conditioned beauties empty their tanks: fight ends to the sound of both women landing hard, hateful punches body/head. Goes to the cards, comes back UD10...Yvonne Strahovski!
After: Crushing loss for Erica...her battered face SO disappointed - but Straho simply wouldn't be denied tonight. Yvonne sees Erica's pain and is immediately over to console her with a hug and kind words: fighters have nothing but respect for each other. "The body was key," Yvonne says in postfight - her own face puffy and sore from Erica's constant work. "If you don't win Erica's respect downstairs, she walks right through you: I couldn't let that happen tonight. Kelly Brook has nowhere left to turn - if she fights anyone else, she's ducking her number one contender, which is me! She could never have survived Erica's onslaughts tonight - it's time for Kelly to be exposed, and for me to reclaim what's obviously mine!"
