Before: Landry feeling pressure - Hall-of-fame bound brunette starting to be targeted by the young and fierce at 130: something's got to be done about it. "I'm not ready to step aside," Ali says simply, anticipating press questions. "I'm still the hottest of the hot, best of the best - I'm not ready to concede a damn thing to these girls. Prepon's a classic ugly duckling - I know what she wants to do to me - I've been beating back this kind of woman my whole life. 09 isn't going to be the year of Moore, or Bjorlin, or Prepon, or any of the new girls: it's going to be back to the future boys. I'm making a statement on Laura that's going to remind all these clowns who's alpha at welter." Prepon grinning, antagonistic with Ali during all joint photo-ops: young Krusher beauty refusing to buy into Landry's world view. "Ali wasn't even all that good when she was 'Ali Landry' - you know? And she hasn't been that girl in a long time. This woman across the dais from me is a stepping stone now - she's here so I can move up. That's her role, and the sooner she accepts that, the easier her transition to washed up old sash-stuffer will be." Prepon in shiny ice blue bikini; white gloves. Ali in gold bikini; black gloves. Ali turning away when ref asks girls to touch 'em up during instructions.

During R1: Rolling start, Landry - she's already at midring as Prepon's seconds are exiting: Ali atop Laura in Krusher corner. Bombastic body punching - rude rights and lefts - shock Laura's waist: Ali in close, swinging tight-arc roundhouses in thumping fashion. Landry pounding away for multiple scores, then shouldering Laura off into turnbuckles: Ali big and brawny, staying on Laura, going right back into ribs and waistline with thumping roundhouse action. Prepon astonished, but rallying: she hunches forward, joins in the fun, answering back rangy, bandy-armed roundhouses to Ali's flanks and waist, trying to trade punch for punch. Not working - Landry with good position on top - bumping and jostling Laura into turnbuckles, then going to work on her: Ali bringing much more weight to bear on her shots, shaking Laura, breaking her down. Minute mark - Prepon's mouth wide open - she's starting to loosen, sag forward behind her mitts. Healthy right uppercut to solar plexus convinces Prepon to take a knee: panting Krusher trembling as Ali backs off all hard-eyed, nostrils flaring. Preps takes 8, stands: Ali quickly upon her with a thudding volley to midsection, then a roaming barrage up-torso to concentrate on jugs. Ali hatin' on Prepon's rack - tremendous short-shrugging hup-hup delivered - Prepon beaten up against turnbuckles, gurgling as Ali belts away. Laura badly loosening at 2 minute mark, mouth open, eyelashes fluttering - she slides along ropes to her right, trying to get out from underneath, but Ali steps-with. Landry brutal, methodical, working upstairs and down now - gloves bouncing off midsection, then checking either jawline as Ali stays compact, muscular, fighting briskly off Laura's chest. Prepon in swoon - slumping against ropes - extending arms to push Ali off: Landry punching past Laura's limbs, ringing her up to chin, buzzing her knees. PREPON'S SWAYING! Ali humming, punching at a constant rate - pageant winning backside tense with the effort of staying balanced - voluptuous body tight as Ali twists and switches into ruinous lefts and rights. PREPON'S GOING DOWN! Laura drooping forward - slumping as punches club at her ribs, off her head and shoulders, plow into jug. Ali close, but not smothering herself, just chugging away all blazing eyes and bared teeth. No one punch does it - Laura Prepon wilts forward, nosing into canvas under Ali's consistent thump. Long blonde stretches out on her tummy, relaxes into KO. KO1 in bludgeoning fashion, Ali Landry.

After: Landry seething - stepping away from blonde rubble to make eye contact with collected Krusher might at ringside, drawing her thumb across her throat as Theron and co. jump to collective outraged feet. Laura horribly beaten - just a tremendous, non-stop, all-in slugging performance from Ali Landry tonight reminds one and all of what she's capable. "I told you Laura didn't belong in the same ring as me," Landry declares in postfight, cheeks flushed with victory. "I took it all from her - belly, breasts, chin. I got to see the look of helplessness in her eyes as she was going under, and when she weakened, I poured it on to finish. You people think I can't still shovel on the hurt? Think again. Any time I want, I will light it up on these girls. ANY time."
