Before: Heinous mismatch--flyweight Monaco much shorter, a scrappy enough little brawler who once bushwhacked Alyssa Milano, but this is a whole different matter. Cuoco one of the biggest, most athletic bantams, a young up and comer on the rise, could have gone pro as a tennis player and has many more money-rounds in the ring under her belt: do the math. Monaco in black push up and panties, Cuoco in tawdry pink cotton camisol, bare belly, pink cotton panties.

During R1: Give Monaco credit, she’s looking for Cuoco’s chin with sweeping haymakers early--Kaley easily out of range with leggy footwork, like she’s moving around to hit forehands from the baseline. Cuoco creating distance, fading the aggression, but not countering--Kaley jabbing occasionally to touch Kelly’s face, but nothing serious. Kaley not mixing it up, breezes to a technical shutout without putting anything on Monaco--Kelly simply unable to collapse distance in the first.

R2: Kelly forced to press--plays right into Kaley’s hands. Cuoco able to touch the jab and hop to the side--Monaco blazing away but coming up short--she’s starting to reach. Minute mark--Kaley fades, then darts in with a punishing lead right as Kelly’s weight out over her feet--satisfying pop on the jaw has Monaco stepping fence post holes for moment. Second minute, Kaley stick and moving very prettily--tarting Kelly up, stepping to the side--suddenly blonde shows jab, steps and gets that vicious hook instead! Thunderclap impact--Kaley moving gracefully into the punch, getting her hips and legs behind a short, crunching shot--Monaco caught flush, head to torqued--she’s out instantly, then rolls catatonic o her back. Sensational, but heinous nonetheless, KO2 Kelly Cuoco.

After: Cuoco unashamed, grinning, getting her back slapped as poor Kelly is brought around in stages in her stool--some ringsiders laughing at the startling effect of the smelling salts. Too much physical advantage for Cuoco--even if Monaco had been able to reach her, you wonder if she could have moved Kaley. Tragic, but slaughter is an occasional side effect of the carnival we like to call the FCBA.
