COVER: Left: Diaz, gloves raised, smiles in a red bikini. Right: Landry, smiling in the same pose in a sea foam green bikini. Headline in red: BATTLE OF THE CHAMPIONS!

COVER STORY: Lightweight champion Cameron Diaz and welterweight champ Ali Landry will have nothing but bragging rights on the line when they meet on pay-per-view, but that's more than enough! Our experts break down the fight and make predictions about who'll come out on top!

THE REAL PEOPLE'S CHAMPION! (Picture: Glau rocks Beckinsale along the ropes.) Summer Glau proves her wins over Swan and Spears were no fluke, stopping Kate Beckinsale to defend her bantamweight title and cement her status as feel-good story of the year. Our experts discuss the fight and how Glau must deal with the looming challenge of Hall Of Famer Eliza Dushku.

SPLIT DECISION! (Pictures: Side-by-side: Left: Seyfried stands over Hatcher, who lies face down at her feet. Right: Benz stings Miller with a right hand as the referee prepares to move in.) Front Street claims a second victory in a row in a stable war with The Academy, as its fighters amass a 3-2 record against Team Theron, but The Academy sweeps two from Empire to take a 4-3 decision in the overall event. Our panel discusses all seven fights and whether the war between the stables is finally over. Hint: we think not.

MISHY RISES FROM THE ASHES!! (Picture: Williams lands a booming right to the head of a wobbling ScarJo.) After a series of tough losses to younger fighters that had her reeling, Michelle Williams stops Scarlett Johansson to reclaim the flyweight crown!

DANI DERAILS D-TRAIN!(Picture: Fishel lands a thudding shot to the breadbasket of Danes.) Maneuvered out of the title shot that went to stablemate Mishy, Claire Danes is battered by Dani Fishel!

ERICA BREAKS THROUGH! (Picture: Strahovski wobbles after a solid right from Durance.) Erica Durance ends her slump in style with an impressive eighth round TKO of former lightweight champ Yvonne Strahovski!

CAN SONG BE STOPPED? (Picture: Brenda batters Fox against the ropes.) Brenda Song, now with the backing of BBU-America, has her sights set on nothing less than the flyweight gold, and, with her first round destruction of Megan Fox on the heels of wins over Spearritt and Chabert, our panel says she's getting dangerously close!

THAT'S THE SPEARRITT! (Picture: Hannah stings Hudgens with a right to the face.) Talented blonde Hannah Spearritt shows she belongs among the flyweight contenders by derailing rising Vanessa Hudgens!

THE NIGHT THAT SPLINTERED SCEEJ BOXING! Picture: Nolin lies flat on her back on a pool table as McCarthy looks on.) Jenny McCarthy knocks out Gena Lee Nolin in the St. Patrick's Day Pub Brawl, and may have destroyed Sceej Boxing in the process! Our experts discuss rumors that Gena wants out...and wants a rematch!

IT'S ME OR JESSICA!: (Picture: Cuoco and Biel face off listening to the referee's instructions before their most recent fight.) With Jessica Biel down, Kaley Cuoco makes her play for the alpha role at Medallion Boxing, but is she overplaying her hand? Our panel discusses the situation and whether it's still possible for the two beauties to co-exist!

BACK AT THE TOP OF HER GAME! (Picture: Warren lays on her back as Righetti looms over her.) Amanda Righetti wipes out Warren and dominates Prepon. Is Landry next?

BLAKE BANGS BACK!: (Picture: Vergara on her back, hands above her head. Lively with both hands thrust in the air looks on.) Blake Lively rallies back from a disappointing loss to Gemma Arterton with a second round punchout of Sofia Vergara.

HURRICANE HARNOIS HAMMERED!: (Picture: Beth on her back, hands at her chest as Chabert smiles above her.) Former champ Lacey Chabert rallies to stop Beth Harnois in three!

NOT YET, ALY! (Picture: Michalka lies at Lilly's feet.) Evangeline Lilly turns back Aly Michalka with a sixth round KO and lays claim to an opportunity to regain the bantam gold!

THE HOTTEST STABLE IN THE FCBA!: (Picture: Left to right: Serinda Swan in a white bikini, Grace Park in a yellow one, Nicole Scherzinger in sky blue, Katy Perry in lime green, Shakira in leopard print, the Grand Wizard, arms crossed in a Jared Sullinger jersey, .Amanda Seyfried in a purple bikini, Britney Spears in hot pink, Gemma Arteron in orange, Ke$ha in gold, Brooklyn Decker in silver, all soaking wet save Wiz.) There's no place in the FCBA with more heat per square inch than the Front Street gym, where you can't get the girls of Front Street and Hour-Glass dressed for the beach without tripping the sprinkler system!

PAYING THE PIPER! (Picture: Vaugier on her haunches in front of a hard-eyed Perabo.) Piper Perabo continues climbing the bantam rankings with a fifth-round KO of Emmanuelle Vaugier. Why our panel suspects her voice mail is not full of messages from other contenders.

CUTHBERT POUNDS OUT LOVE! Picture: Elisha works Hewitt's rack.) Elisha Cuthbert keeps her momentum going with an impressive fifth round TKO of Love Hewitt!

SORCERESS TOO MUCH FOR YUSTMAN!: (Picture: Helfer lands to Odette's chin.) Tricia Helfer's impressive work against Odette Yustman is doubly bad news for the lightweight division. Not only is the Sorceress as slick as ever, she's vowing to be much more active!

BATTLE OF THE KELLYS: (Picture: Minka bangs a right through Carlson's guard as the referee moves in.) Minka Kelly shows class, guts in a sixth round TKO of tough Kelly Carlson!

IN THE WEEDS?: (Picture: McCord blasts Knightley with a left hook to the chin.) With all the focus on Dobrev and Michalka, AnnaLynne McCord quietly rights the ship with a ninth round TKO of Keira Knightley, and our panel says it would be a mistake for the top flyweights to lose sight of AnnaLynne!

POINTY'S CORNER: Poindexter Del Crunchy talks about the on-going cricket world cup. Who knew there WAS such a thing?

ALSO: ELODIE FREGE: The French stunner has changed stables, but will the move change her luck? BLAST FROM THE PAST: PRISCILLA BARNES talks about her boxing career and her brutal best-of-seven defeat at the hands of Suzanne Somers! AND: OLIVIA MUNN, the FCBA's loose cannon on her destructions of Michalka and McCarthy and her plans to bring the rest of the FCBA's blondes to heel!
