Before:  Ali feeling the heat. Gorgeous brunette looking vulnerable recently, tons of pressure from network and Maxim sponsors to produce and now she's got blondes stepping up in weight to challenge her. "Jeri's got rocks, I'll give her that,' says Ali, "but this is suicide for her. Now she's in with a girl that can out hit her, out box her, and outwork her on the inside. I think she's hoping I'll punch myself out, but honey, you got to be awake when that happens!" Jeri calm, cool, collected, knows what's she doing. "I carry 130 very easily, I didn';t have to do anything special to get here and Ali's tailor-made for me. This is a big fight for me, a fan's fight and I'm here to shake landry up." Jetri in red bikini, Ali pale blue lace push up and panties.

During R1: Ali quick-stepping to midring, Pageant Tactics 101 as she doubles up the jab, body and face, streering Jeri early. Ryan stepping out, parrying stick with an open right hand, lifting the snap-jab, off her stomach to Landry's chest. Landry separates late with some humming right hands, partially rolled by Ryan as she uses some old-school defense to take the sting out of the cross.

R2: Another tactical round, Ryan looking good as she boxes on the outside with a Miss USA and holds her own. Jeri trying to stalk behind her jab while Ali looks to wheel and turn--Ryan the aggressor, coming forward, right hand cocked but kept in the holster for now.

R3: Ali wins the first minute again--starting quick, patting Jeri down with bracing jabs--Ryan slower to get into the rounds, methodical, not wasting any energy, Landy changing focus late, jabbing upstairs, then shaking Jeri in the waist with snapping rights/lefts firm on the abdomen. Ryan taking it well, but not answering back as Landry moves ahead.

R4: Landry slowly imposing her will, Jeri in stalking mode, looking menacing, but not getting off--Ali's movement, unpredictable jab and well-timed right hands doing just enough to keep the blonde off balance. nothing fancy from Landry, but it's all classt--se moves so well for a big girl, bantam-quick hands batting out combinations, breaking down Ryan's defense slightly, Jeri's body and chin tested this round--nothing serious, but Landry's landing cleaner than she was.

R5: Ali wins that first minute, jabbing belly and face, sidestepping, turning her for. Ryan with her elbows in, hands up, just squaring up, walking her girl down, trying to jab with and get her distance. Ali having her way, really working her game plan to perfection the LANDRY GOES DOWN! Thunderclap right hand out of nowehere--Ryan just inching into range, patiently setting it up then cracking Landry across the chin drops the ex-champ to her back and Landry's HURT! Ali wide-eyed, head and legs up off the canvas, back and butt stay glued for a moment as she's all jerks and spasms, but she barely beats the count. On comes Jeri Ryan, big and brawny--palming her girl's bronzed shoulders back, setting up wide and HAMMERING AWAY! Nothing cute--blonde standing brunette up and beating her senseless with clubbing, artless lefts and rights, chin and jugs, and THE REF STEPS IN! Landry blown away, tilting forward, hands down, eyes closed, mouth open as the man gathers her--KO5 in spectactular fashion Jeri Ryan!

After: Ryan GLOWING, hoisted high on the shoulders of her cornermen--crowd going insane with chants of "JER-RI JER-RI"--Landry getting penlights on her pupils and smelling salts on her stool, Biggest win of Jeri's career? "I think so, yes," Jrri grins, "knocking Charlize out with one shot was sweeter, but they gave me short money for that fight, treated me like an opponent--I felt like it was her show and I spoiled it and lots of people thought it was a fluke. This was a dangerous fight both ways, it was a real event and I took Ali apart like a professional. So yeah, it's special."
