Fight carried on PPV as part of Theron's exclusive HBO deal - now viewers can buy any Charlize Theron fight anywhere in the world. Soon, even sparring sessions and just basic workouts will be offered as Charlize squeezes every last nickle out of her adoring public. Kelly earning herself this chance with a competitive showing against UK rival Catherine Zeta Jones - Brook trying to shake that page 3 stigma and make herself a respectable commodity Stateside. "She's come a long way," Brook's trainer, a no-name blonde beach fighter looking for Hollywood exposure herself tells reporters. "She basically paid her own way here, started getting into pick up fights on the beach and we've sort of accepted her as one of our own. I'll tell you this - if Charlize Theron thinks she's getting stay-busy work with Brook, she's going to be sorry. Kelly's learned to believe in herself on the beach, and she's serious about making noise in the Show." Theron totally blase, often sending spokespeople in her stead to press conferences - but she's resplendent during weigh-in, showing up in shape, ready to scrap. "I like to think I've got a little more pride in myself than Zeta Jones," says svelte Charlize of her prime condition. "I'd never let myself go the way she does in between fights. My fans love to see me in shape and that's what it's all about. As for Kelly - she's glove-fodder for sure, but just look at her: I haven't carved up a beauty this succulent since showing Ali Landry the ropes a few years back." Unusual promotion in that press junkets are all in the US, while the fight will take place in London, England. Theron willing to globe trot, taking the circus across the pond to fight Kelly in her own backyard. Charlize in cream bikini, Kelly in mauve push up underwire bikini, curly brown ponytail.

Rd 1: Charlize establishing her bona-fides - the legs, the loose, rangy hand placement (like a salsa-dancer, hands open, chest and stomach height), the smooth punching, the gliding movement punctuated by sudden, slashing attacks. Brook comparatively rigid, obviously nervous - dukes up, stepping and turning, not cutting the ring off. Theron tarting Brook up from outside, circling and placing shots - nice sliding right hand midway through gets around Kelly's left wrist, rattling British legs as Brook soaks up the shock. Breezy shutout Theron - as they pass, she snaps a backhand slap off cheeky brunette buttocks like she owns them.

Rd 2: Kelly getting the jab out a little more, locating Charlize in the upperchest - leads to some grooving exchanges with both women landing right hands. Theron a little surprised - Brook sneaking the right cross of her shoulder and landing stout to blonde chin - Charlize turning slugger a little bit to discourage this kind of thing. Sporadic action, but both pitching with bad intentions by the final minute.

Rd 3: Kelly's here to fight - backing Charlize up and scoring points this round. Brook getting a firm right hand to chin, using her jab to stabilize Theron - Charlize leaning back to take the edge off it, but clipped nonetheless. Brook closing distance, licking long-armed wallop to golden-brown waist and ribs - Kelly with a distinctive way of lifting her punches into Theron, letting glove linger on flesh for a moment to really sink it in. Charlize fighting off the ropes, gloves at temples, supple and relaxed - but British beauty stroking flanks and breadbasket to good effect. Down the stretch, Brook even brazen enough to start nudging Charlize with the extended left elbow - jostling and propping her - Theron outraged at the bullying posture taken by the brunette this round - some shoving and glaring after the bell as blonde won't stand for it.

Rd 4: Enough's enough: Theron gets rugged. Blonde wades into brunette with sweeping right hands curled flat on the belly, Charlize rolling her shoulders to back brunette up with licking lefts and rights to the ropes. Mission accomplished, now it's Theron getting big, pressing her shoulder to chest to budge Brooke back, pulling at her arms to disorganize the defence, then bashing away at unprotected goods. Theron helping herself to pale British gut, but the prize is a little higher up - Charlize migrating north to start a systematic, thoroughgoing bombardment of those luscious D cup treasures. Brook head down, gloves up, biting down on sobs of torment - Charlize back straight, tight smile as she works to dig her fists up and in with short, merciless thrusts. Charlize loosening the guard with lathering hooks to the hip and across the belly, weakening Brook, then back to jug with compact, shoulder-shrugging glee. Theron lapping it up, not shy about bodying up to reset her girl, keeping her pinned and suffering at the ropes. Bell to bell Charlize - she treats herself to an appreciative look as Brook sags hurt in the strands, hugging battered bosom.

Rd 5: Conflicted Theron corner - Janet wants Theron to box, but Charlize waving her off, telling coach, "I got this - don't worry. She's all used up." Theron wading back in like a middleweight, greasy body on body, walking Brook into the ropes, patiently wrestling her down, propping her up, then going back to work. Charlize slopping on punches like her gloves are full of wet sand - lifting and lugging fist into jug, tummy or flank - beating Brook into glassy-eyed compliance. Kelly groaning as Charlize wedges a fist in between hip and ribs. Kelly moaning, draping herself off Theron's neck as blonde spends a little quality time on tummy. Kelly sitting into the ropes, baring her throat in abject humility as Theron leans close, belting away left/right, just pulling her fists into Brook's throbbing hooters at will. Another roasting shutout Charlize - tears spilling down Brook's face as Theron stands up at the bell, shaking her head in admiration at the devastation she's wreaking.

Rd 6: No-name blonde perking Kelly up - "Remember when Alison Armitage was hitting you low and the ref wasn't doing anything? Remember how you gutted it out and rolled her up? Gimme some of that right now!" Charlize cocky, smiling off her stool - wades back in - slobberknocker breaks out midring. Girls chins up, chests out, swinging hard - good smashing action as right arms collide and shiver, wide lefts stroke unprotected jaws and ears, statuesque legs give ground in stroking two-way. Slower, more ponderous action than we're used to seeing from Theron - she's surrendered to the slogging, just trying to fit her fists in heavy to the opponent's flanks or torso and Kelly's doing the same. Brook able to land right hands across the tip of Theron's chin, able to lug heavy leather up underneath and trade a bit to the tits - Theron still getting the better of it, but Kelly refusing to be bullied this round.

Rd 7: 2 minutes of bruising, flat footed, I'll-hit-you, you-hit-me. Girls locked in a little world of their own, just trading leather. Theron will drop her hands, twist her hips and swing a limber right hard and flat against the midsection, then cover up as Kelly pulls a hook off her hip to Theron's ear. They'll trade rising rights up into tender jug, then clout each other's chins slinging hooks. Brook dropping her hands and swinging from her hips - getting limber body lean as she picks her right up off her thigh and carries it into Theron's jaw. Charlize more apt to cover up and block on occasion - blonde's attention to detail pays off late. Down the stretch, Brook stepping and swinging lusty - Theron gloves at her cheek, bobbing low, letting punches miss over top, times a Brook right hand with a slip, straightens up, leans back and gets a short counter hook to jaw - unhinging long British legs. Kelly reaching to wrap up around Charlize waist, but not hugging up tight - blonde grinning as she's able to jam swinging lefts and rights above the hips, across the back as brunette bends forward in exhaustion.

Rd 8: Wet, slobberknocking action continues - spilling sloppily along the ropes, girls reaching left hands around the opponent's waist to plug her with free-swinging rights, girls falling into each other after laying down heavy haymakers from either side. Pell mell sprawling action - Janet screaming instructions from the corner - Theron willfully ignoring it - blonde completely overcome with slug-lust. They finish up in a neutral corner, each leaning forward, hoisting up thick, rolling lefts and rights into pain wracked bellies and pulsing ribs at the bell. Charlize feeling her oats, chests up and lets achy Kelly hear all about it.

Rd 9: Janet hands on hips, furious - Theron may as well be mudwrestling for all the science going on in there tonight. Crowd pleasing stuff - not too fast or frantic, girls looking to wallop each other, then fall in, wrestling and struggling to topple the other into the ropes, then heap on extra until the ref can interfere. Girls constantly at each other - when they're not punching, they're straining to body up and impose their weight and wills, and this round, it's Kelly. Theron being pressed to the ropes and Kelly's working her out of the wrap - using the left to anchor Charlize around the body while the right plunders gut and jug, then wrapping up right to slug away lefty. Charlize looking shopworn, limp in Kelly's grasp, slumped at the ropes, not struggling back - by the midway point brunette's really slopping home hurt and the crowd's on it's feet. Down the stretch, Charlize looking pale and clammy - tieing up around Kelly's neck, trying to smother - brunette able to keep long arms free and plug away on that world-class torso to the bell.

Rd 10: Charlize is DONE! Blonde open mouthed, hair wet, obscuring half-closed eyes, she lolls on the ropes exhausted, waving Kelly on in. Brook hungry, strides forward and gets caught a GORGEOUS sneaky right hand counter as Theron bounces herself off ropes to get it. Charlize playing possum, luring her girl in - nice spin-move puts Brook ropeside and blonde's having at her! Charlize flurrying gut with rolling lefts and rights, stiffening Brook, stooping her forward - blonde arm-curls lefts and rights to the overhanging ledge of Brook's hooters, just flattening those babies with the heels of her palms. Brook groaning, reaching around Charlize athletic hips - blonde pounding away hips and back with illegal palm-strikes, further stiffening and crippling her girl. By the midway point, it's a muscular rout - Charlize bodying Kelly back and lathering on, or when Brooke tries to clinch, punching around the outstretched arms, never letting up. Woozy Kelly's legs starting to give - she's sliding along the ropes - Theron stepping with and sustaining a murderous torrent of slicing, stroking punches - hacking down, hoisting up into the fading British beauty. Down the stretch, Kelly just trying to make it to the finish line - Theron determined to deny her and BROOK SPRAWLS TO THE CANVAS. Charlize stepping back, still punching as Kelly goes out and stretches prone, fast asleep on her face. Mauling KO10, Charlize Theron.

After: Charlize beaming, strutting hands high - she carries this thing right to the bitter end, giving a hopeful young foe a glimpse of the finish line, then snatching it all away with seconds left in the 10th. Brook brought around, she's woozy and helpless when a gloating Charlize hugs her up off her stool, right arm firm around the waist for a heartless walk of shame. Boos cascading down - Brook winning a lot of fans with her plucky effort tonight - Charlize showing up a brave opponent with the boastful celebration. "I don't know what all the booing's about," Theron blinks innocently, "getting walked by me's something Kelly can tell her grandkids about - it's like getting my autograph! Overall, I wanted to get some work in, and yes, that meant carrying Kelly tonight. If I'd gone all out in those midrounds, she never would have survived it. I constantly had to rein in, reminding myself not to overdo it, just keeping her hurt, giving her a little line, reeling her in. Janet got a little excited there, but it was a fun fight, an easy fight - if I'd gone to my A game, these fans would have been cheated." Jones livid, unavailable for comment - Charlize indulged herself tonight and despite the bravado, took some shots that could have led to disaster if Kelly had been able to consolidate.
