BEFORE: "Everything Yvonne has today, she took from me," Erica says quietly at podium. "Her ranking, her status...she got that by beating me in the boxing ring. Now it's time for me to take from her. I respect the hell out of Yvonne - she's the biggest threat to me of all the TV girls - but I'm not losing this fight. That's it guys - I don't want to talk a bunch of smack about Yvonne: I just want to knock her out!" Straho similarly composed...locked in competition with Erica in and out of the ring: Yvonne knows the score. "Every week, people compare us," Yvonne acknowledges. "When I started in America, everyone said the road to glory ran right through Erica Durance, so I've dedicated myself to getting her in trouble with my fists. She's struggled of late, but she's still one of the best girls out there. But when we get into the jungle, I'm hunting her, not the other way around. Deep down, Erica knows that. I've taught her." Silence as Yvonne descends the dais...Erica just staring straight ahead; press corp shifting nervously in their seats...lotta tension in the room even without flyweight-style histrionics. Durance in royal blue sport top; scarlet sport-bikini bottoms; yellow gloves. Yvonne in black lace bra/boy-leg panties; black gloves; hair in ponytail with bangs framing face. Girls touch gloves like pros...eyes frosty.

During R1: Stalking pressure from Erica; limber legs from Yvonne. Strahovski issuing check-jabs when she's circling or retreating...keeping Erica's dukes up/defensive. Straho stooping to jab-tummy; darting in and out: blonde girl announcing her quickness in taking command of ring with her feet. Nobody hurt: Straho directing traffic for points.

R2: Similar stuff - Erica forward, dukes at cheeks: she's looking to step-close, sweep the left power-hand to Strahovski's gut, then hook her righty up top. Yvonne denying Erica's program with legs...blonde girl lithe about the ring; darting-quick on the counter attack - keeping Erica out on the end of poke. Down the stretch, Yvonne salts away the round with a pounding left/right/left triggered straight off the shoulders to Erica's bulging top...Durance chest-smote onto her heels at bell.

R3: Leggy shutout, Yvonne Strahovski: Durance turning, bobbing, blocking, but unable to find good punching solutions. Blonde girl so swift and sleek - circling clockwise, slashing in off southpaw Erica's right shoulder - fitting straight right hands to right side of Erica's jaw, then scouring her in combination while disengaging. Durance taking hard poke well, but getting outclassed: she's just dropped the first three heats of this contest.

R4: Erica getting the right jab out - doubling it while scooting her feet forward...she's FINALLY able to slam that swinging left hand into flat blonde gut, putting a tight right hook on top. Three such attacks have Yvonna scampering: a fourth has her bunching up hurt from the body shot and staggering as the right hook clouts behind blonde left ear. Erica hopping into position (right foot forward) - she pokes a stiff straight left to left side of Yvonne's face; triggers a swift follow up left to the same place and BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Yvonne chopped to all fours, blinking and stunned: Durance smoldering, glaring down at trembling blonde back. Rickety 8 Straho: Erica moves in to bury a left hand into aching blonde guts at ropes...Yvonne absorbs, answers! Straho baring her fangs, lighting Erica up limber lefts and rights in rising trajectories...brunette face-punched onto her heels, forced to give ground. Durance ducking, answering left hands to body; curling little right uppercuts to chin in tight...blonde girl getting rocked as she's determined to fight her way off ropes. Crowd-rousing hammer and tongs...fighters taking turns lighting each other up in a furious display of willpower to bell.

R5: Strahovski rallies behind her jab/legs - loping clockwise to turn Erica's right flank. Durance rotating-with...stymied by Yvonne's movement as blonde girl moves away from the Durance left mitt. Swift blonde one-twos decorate Erica's right-side jawline: blonde girl placing that right hand in over Erica's right shoulder like a gem-cutter. Yvonne stabilizes her front, regains ring-command, initiative...Durance scowling, touched-up en route to her stool for break.

R6: Same again - stalking pressure from Erica yielding the odd thumping left hand to belly...but blonde legs and superior handspeed outside carrying the minutes. Yvonne's eyes hard as she works right side of Erica's face over...jabbing it, dropping in the swift right hands, then escaping 'round the flank. Durance grim in pursuit - tormented by a sleek blonde technician through 6.

R7: Erica finally cuts off the ring - looping her right hook wide to stop Yvonne's circling action. More toe-to-toe results, with Erica lowering her head and working tummy/ribs/tits with bashing combos: Yvonne gritting teeth, answering back left/right uppercuts in tight-curling swipes. Erica's basic plan: crouch forward behind a pawing right jab; bury the left hand deep to blonde tummy; twitch the right hook across blonde temple as Yvonne's bunching forward.

R8: Yvonne's legs finally a little weary: Erica's commitment to body paying off. Durance stepping to her right - getting her lead (right) foot outside Yvonne's left...brunette cutting off the ring, now dictating position to her blonde. Slight sidearm loft on those slamming left hands to 'Vonnie's gut: blonde girl gritting teeth, cringing forward on receipt, now just covering up rather than immediately answering. Bitter two way punching throughout the middle minute as Erica forces exchanges...Strahovski clipping away uppercuts-on-chin as she's stepping back to ropes. Final minute: Erica unleashed...brunette squaring away, getting after Yvonne in earnest. Left hands swing thick to blonde gut; right-handed clip-across hooks graze Vonnie's temple. Erica will vary her looks - pushing in with the left to measure, then torquing violently torso-left to hurl the right hook across Yvonne's front - clanging away to chin, rubberizing Vonnie's legs. Blonde girl staring, visibly breaking down...Erica's just piling on the hurt with nothing coming back. Hard right hook clips-across Vonnie's temple, finally unhinging her knees...blonde head lolling, eyes glassy as she falters on the spot, sagging back against ropes all helpless. Ref jumps in to abort Erica's coup de grace left: blonde girl cradled to safety the TKO8 victim.

After: Hard eye contact Erica to Yvonne as ring fills with the usual suspects: Durance letting 'Vonnie know that supremacy is still very much being contested by the Smallville Strongwoman. "Not gonna lie," Erica says in postfight. "I needed that. I needed to punch Yvonne helpless; I had to let her know that I could still do that. It wasn't so long ago that I was the most dominant lightweight champion in years, and I'm still the same fighter. Any girl who doubts that is more than welcome to find out in the ring, 'cause I'm back, baby!"
