Before: "I was embarrassed last time out," Kaley admits in prefight. "I'm very greatful to Jennifer for this opportunity - not a lot of top names would give you the chance to redeem yourself against them - Connelly's the exception." Connelly dominating in one-sided fashion in the previous bout, battering and stopping Kaley in chilling fashion - what's in it for her? "When somebody's gunning for you, you don't avoid them: you take 'em head on. Kaley obviously thinks she can use me to get to the top: I'm going to have to be more thorough this time in convincing her otherwise. If I had Cuoco, I'd tell her to be patient - she needs another year at the Jenny Garth level, and THEN maybe some work at the Britney Spears/Dani Fishel level to complete her training. Rushing a girl in this league will ruin her. Kaley will get there - I really like what I see in Cuoco - but I don't think she realizes how much you have to sacrifice to make it in this game." Jennifer in Raquel Welch red push up and panties from 1967's 'Bedazzled' - Kaley countering in the famous Cynara battle togs - the very black push up and jazz print bikini bottoms which defeated Denise for the inaugural Apartment challenge. Suit originally bought at auction by a private collector in the 80s - now loaned for an outrageous rent to BSE for this fight.

During R1: Cautious boxing first - Kaley showing leg, hands low on the outside, but more responsible whenever Connelly's in punching range. Jennifer stalking, more flat footed, more set - using a seeking jab, looking to touch her way into combination-punching range. Cuoco's legs decisive - not a lot of contact as nimble blonde skirts the ring like she's running the baseline.

R2: Jennifer slowly cutting off the ring - professional stick to Kaley's chest, stepping over to hem blonde into the corners. Kaley with some cute moves, bouncing off adjacent ropes as she does a little box step around turnbuckles - but Jennifer zeroing in. Connelly landing both hands to the tanned midsection, keeping Kaley in front of her with the jab.

R3: Jennifer making it a smaller and smaller ring - Cuoco with those shifty bounce moves, spinning off the ropes and rotating out of the corners, but Connelly keeps negotiating her back in there. Midway through, Connelly bats a straight arm hook hard to the flank, gets it again, then turns the hook over on Kaley's temple - Cuoco's legs give a shimmy - she leans into the ropes fully defensive. Kaley bending at the waist, covering up - Jennifer systematically handing out a spanking - shivering hooks up and down the flanks, well-timed short-arm right hands skidding off Kaley's face, splitting blonde guard. Cuoco shaking her head, disappointed in herself: Jen's doing it to her again.

R4: Professionalism of Jen Connelly. Brunette able to jab Kaley into position for a clanging right on the chin - Cuoco walking away then stumbling as delayed effect of clout hits her in the knees. Cuoco ropeside again, elbows in, hands up, rotating her torso, lifting that left elbow up as she twists, trying to lick back counter-hooks under pressure. Withering beatdown to the flanks and chassis - Connelly intent, weight forward, just laying her hands on Kaley in rhythmic fashion. Kaley fighting hard off the ropes avoids the shutout, but it's all red bra and panties through 4.

R5: Jennifer so methodical, so precise - she takes Kaley apart in vigorous fashion this round. First minute: Jab Cuoco to the ropes, cut off the ring. Second minute: beat Cuoco senseless to the body - rich, thick, tearing rights and lefts along the waist. Kaley's breathing hard, mouth open, legs stiff and shot beneath her. Third minute, pour on a beating: Connelly pinning her ears back, letting her hands go - she's getting tasty spank off bruised and shiny Cuoco-flesh. Poor Kaley no longer punching back, trying to stay shelters as she twists, shows either side to Jennifer, bends at the waist. Jennifer's withering body assault making Kaley's head availablel - blonde chin getting picked up harsh as Connelly pounds away. Bell: Connelly's eyes blazing, chest heaving, colour high - Kaley trembling but defiant - Cuoco taking the beating that put her under last time out.

R6: Sign of respect from Jennifer - she boxes behind her jab more this round, but keeps up a healthy tanning of Kaley's midsection to prevent those legs from rejuvenating. Some luscious shots landing on belly meat - Kaley having to hunch forward, grunting audibly as her ribs and tummy get stroked. Connelly stepping around rather than putting extra on, now looking for right uppercuts off the counterclockwise rotation.

R7: Kaley finally getting off again, fencing jabs with Jen, contesting the ring with her legs - Connelly moves to quell the uprising. Connelly so methodical tonight - she jabs Cuoco to the ropes, lands healthy right round punches to the body and soon has Kaley defensive again. Jen O'Dell ringside, hands at her mouth as she screams for Cuoco to punch - meanwhile, Jennifer's pounding away. Another brunette round - her sixth straight. Cuoco's ribs pink and throbbing, she's wincing on her stool but still combative - Jennifer calm, taking on water, nodding during instructions - veteran rolling youngster up on the cards.

R8: Second wind Kaley - jump in her legs as she pumps stick, moves to her right - Connelly a little surprised at the resilience. Jennifer stalking, hands up, parrying and blocking as she walks Kaley down. Cuoco with nice pre-emptive punches off the ropes - not hard, but buying her the millisecond she needs to sidestep and spin 'round Jen's flanks back into open space. Boxing round Cuoco.

R9: Jennifer out with renewed vigor - leading with right hands to jump in close, hooking above the hip and doubling up to the chin - Kaley stepping back in good order, arm-curl left uppercuts testing Jen's rack, clouting her chin as Cuoco falls off to her left. Spirited stuff some of the best two way action of the fight - Connelly looking to impose her will, Kaley denying it. Final minute - Kaley stepping right turns on a sudden right hand flush to the chops, stinging Jennifer, but not discouraging her - brunette continues to press behind her lathering hook. Kaley swiveling away in pivots, always in good position - she flashes the short right hand again, getting Connelly to flinch, then TORQUES into that athletic hook, 100% Kaley as she tucks her shoulder in tight behind the punch and CONNELLY GOES DOWN! Jennifer caught and dropped, floundering to her knees face first in the ropes and she's RUINED! Connelly destitute, struggling to climb the strands, falling back down, regrouping - crowd on it's feet as she's up swaying at 10 and it's OVER! Ref waves it off, hugging Jennifer parentally - TKO10 Kaley Cuoco!

After: Kaley's youth takes over - leaping and bounding, bawling, carrying on - apparently oblivious to the pain she's causing Connelly with the in-ring jubilation. Jennifer fully recovered and gracious enough to offer some comments in post fight. "Umm - the right hand can be a Kaley killer and I didn't throw it like I wanted. I got careless with her, but you saw it: I dominated this kid all night long and she tagged me lucky at the end. There's no other way to describe it - she caught me a lucky punch and saved herself from a 9-1, maybe 8-2 butt-whipping. Two fights with this kid and she's held her own MAYBE 4 or 5 minutes. Kaley owes me. I have to talk with my people, but I want a rubber match - we'll see if Kaley's got the guts to give it to me." Cuoco deferring to her management on the rematch talk. "You know, that's totally up to my guys - they know what's best for me, but personally? Jen gave me a fight when she had me down and I want to do what's right. If you had told me last year that I'd be fighting Jen Connelly in a best of three series right now? I'd have laughed in your face. I'm on top of the world right now!" Gotta be the suit, right? "You know, ever since Jennifer got that Bedazzled two piece, she's been unbeatable," Cuoco grins. "We looked high and low for a little equalizer and I'm thrilled with it: this Cynara look was made for blondes and I really think it took some of the wind out Jen's sails when she saw it. When we did the big reveal, it was like KA-POW! And you could just see it in Jennifer's eyes - she was like: 'whoa'."
