Before: Victoria’s Secret becoming a player in celebrity fight productions, puts two of its best tighter for another catalogue shoot tie-in. Diaz looking t build momentum, has a particular distaste for Ghauri who offers the same sort of exotic look as Yamila--models being particularly sensitive to similarity. Ghauri essentially unknown, but confident during pre-fight, boldly predicting a painful knockout of Yamila. Yam in black lace bra and panties with inlaid flower pattern. Yas in white bandeaux bra and panties.

During R1: Lanky models step out, hands bobbing and loose. Yas strikes first, swinging right over top Yamilia’s extended left and bashing Diaz’s head back for a stunning opening blast. Yamila on queer street. Yas happily lowing away with condor rights and lefts. Swinging haphazardly as Yam steps back. A clouting left across the lips stuns Yamila again, and she scoots to her butt with a blank expression. Climbing the ropes, she beats the count, but looks panicky as Yasmeen wades wades in again. Ghauri smiling as she whips wide lefts and rights against the cringing Yamila, cracking her fellow model on the cheek with wild elbows at the bell. Ghauri leans in, licks Yamila’s bruised cheek after the bell as Diaz is helpless against the ropes.

R2,3,4: Yamila answers the questions put to her by Yameen’s fists, with gritty survival first boxing to take the lead on the cards after four. Diaz shaky in the seconds ticks out the jab and posts a gritty shutout as Yasmeen runs into the punch all round long, Yamila getting her legs back, able to trade one-twos from long range with Yas in the 3rd and 4th, and gets the better if Ghauri, book ending the exchanges and cracking Ghauri in the mouth with payback elbows after the bell

R5: Yamila has the range now, unfurling the long jab into Ghauri’s chest, and snapping out the long right cross to bang back Yasmeen’s face early. Ghauri looking wobbly butt, begins to step straight back, and Yamila steps into the breach, leaning into searing right hands, sweeping wide with the left. Ghauri cuts inside the mouth, looking a little shopworn at the bell as she returns to her corner with a concerned expression.

R6: Yamila shows that Monzon-like combination punching ability early, spanking back Yasmeen’s head with a left/right/left straight up the middle, and Ghauri takes a knee! Yasmeen up at 8, but glassy-eyed, and Yamila stepping, drills the right hand to the solar plexus, immediately dropping Yas to her backside with a groan. Yasmeen in bad shape, struggles to her feet with plenty of time left on the clock. Yamila pouring on thr abuse, pin wheeling long arms as Yas cowers in the ropes, Fists club down on Yasmeen’s shoulders and head, until Yamila holds with the left and cracks short right hands which  look suspiciously like elbow strikes to the face of the battered Ghauri. Ghauri slips to all fours, and Yamila stuffs a right hand into the sweet spot between the hip and ribcage before stepping back. Yasmeen again beats the count and is saved from further torment as the bell rings. Yamila strutting back with raised fists as Yasmeen’s corner goes to work.

R7: Yasmeen answers the call this time, clinching the overanxious Yamila, and bogging the other brunette down in trench warfare this round. Ghauri’s legs shot, but she initiatives bitter action in close where neither long-limbed model is particularly effective. A banging right uppercut elbow to the face jolts Yamila’s head back, and she staggers into power punching range, allowing Yasmeen to bend into a crashing overhand right and Diaz is HURT! Diaz with her hands at her chest, leans sideways to he ropes, stares pleadingly ay Yasmeen as Ghauri flails away to the bell. Both girls on the verge of oxygen debt--faces battered beyond recognition by flush power punches all fight long.

R8: Exhausted, flat footed warriors stumble out to circle with fists at chest level, bruised faces, hollow expressions. Yasmeen begins with a tired jab to the face, begging to be countered, but Yamila can’t pull the trigger, Over and over, the slow, heavy jab sounds into Diaz’s face, putting a sleepy haze on Yamila as Yasmeen dictates, Yamila clinches as her legs begin to give way, but Yasmeen steps back, chugging away with rangy uppercuts, scraping her fists along Yamila’s long torso, and banging back Diaz chin. Yamila stumbling forward, taking left and right uppercuts, finally gives out, collapsing to the canvas as Yasmine can’t get off her hands and knees, shaking liker a new-born colt as the ref counts ten. Ghauri crying tears of relief, pulls  Diaz to her feet for the traditional model’s walk of victory.

After: Diaz showing the humiliation of the post-fight display as Ghauri walks her slowly around the ring--bitter contest pushed both girls to their limits and beyond. Even non-fans of model boxing purchase the video and catalogue accounts of this exciting slugfest I record numbers, making mini-stars out of both women for the time being.
