BOXING AFTER DARK

Jessica Biel vs Brittany Daniel (I) by simguy 11/13/01


Risky venture means nothing to two up and coming blondes eager to put 
each other into perspective. Daniel taking a break from her crusade 
to flatten quality brunette chests - "I've got a Langton rematch 
locked in," says Daniel. "That's money in the bank. I've wanted 
Jessica for a while and HBO's offering us the date - why not pad my 
stats?" Biel the WB's hottest prospect, growing into a lean, sinewy, 
young version of Charisma Carpenter also hungry for the comp, 
"Beating Brittany puts me right in the picture. I wouldn't say no to 
Hu, Fishel, or Richards if the opportunity came up as a result."
Confidence of youth - Jessica in red bra style bikini long straight 
frosted hair, Daniel in black bra style bikini, short blonde tousle


Rd 1: Both girls out with low left hands, right hands at the mouth, 
but Biel lankier, probing and swaying with the left - Daniel more 
compact, keeping the left tight to her body. Brit taking advantage of 
Biel's lazy jab, stepping inside it, dipping the shoulder and 
bouncing that snappy hook off the lean torso of her foe. Daniel 
doubling up TO JESSICA'S FIRM BREASTS laying the groundwork for a 
long night. Biel scores late with limber lateral movement and a 
licking jab - good tactical first for Daniel.


Rd 2: Jessica doesn't want Daniel touching her body! Biel's legs on 
show this round as she dances, changes direction, pokes lead rights 
off her front foot, falls away to leave calling card hooks on 
Daniel's ear - Brittany coming up short as Jessica manages the ring 
beautifully. Shutout Biel.


Rd 3: Jessica changes up, goes flat footed and shows Brittany she's 
not afraid to trade up close and personal. Biel not as compact or 
mechanically sound as Daniel with her punching, but she's got a nice 
easy whip delivery with the left, uses her left elbow and shoulder to 
push off with and leans in with stinging right hands that Daniel's 
not picking up well. Brittany dutifully licking her left hand up 
across Biel's rigid abs late, but Daniel fields a few too many clean 
rights on her chin to take the round.


Rd 4: Brittany more aggressive this round, nicely stepping inside 
Jessica's jab, biting her HOOK TO BELLY AND BREASTS as Biel gives 
ground. Daniel stepping with Jessica, keeping the pressure on, really 
pounding those jugs with curling lefts, and hammering the waistline 
with beef from both sides. Shutout Daniel leaves Biel flushed and 
wincing at the bell.


Rd 5: Jessica really showing nice variety - staying one step ahead on 
the chessboard. First minute a leggy Biel picks her battlegrounds, 
keeping Daniel at bay with the jab. Second minute - Jessica trades 
toe to toe, lashing her longer-limbed punches up against Daniel's 
glossy flanks, but using nice shoulder rolls and blocking in close to 
minimize the return damage. Final minute, Biel sets down on punches 
and backs Daniel up with clanging lefts and rights, punches 
splattering up and down Brit's sides and surprising her jaw from out 
wide. Satisfying contact puts a grin on Jessica's lips - Daniel's 
turn to grimace en route to her corner.


Rd 6: Pendulum swings Brittany's way - once again timing the Biel 
jab, stepping in to the body, then brawling Jessica back after 
landing thick combinations to body and head. Nice contrast - Biel's 
lashing, licking strokes versus Daniel's digging, snapping delivery. 
Biel retreating much of the round, getting outgunned, but down the 
stretch she shows her talent: fading Daniel's rights, Jessica rolls 
with a cross, slings back a vicious right on the mouth and puts 
Daniel wobbly butt in a heartbeat. Brittany reeling on the spot, 
covers up hurt as Jessica slashes away with licking lefts and rights 
to the bell, stealing the round.



Rd 7: Best two way action of the fight - girls taking turns, mixing 
up punches to head and body like two seasoned veterans. Biel taking 
some of the heart of Daniel with Hearns like pumping left hooks from 
outside - just hoisting those punches up into the breadbasket. Daniel 
sharp and mean-spirited with crisp hooks to body and jaw, doubling up 
on the punches to send Biel staggering sideways. Judges like the 
rangy power of Biel - hard right hands are lumping pretty Daniel up 
on the left side of her face.


Rd 8: Another wide-ranging, two way round - neither girl really 
successful in imposing her will to this point. Brittany committed to 
breaking down Jessica's body - has the supple blonde leaning forward, 
mitts up high and suffering on occasion as the rib and breast work 
starts to wear. Biel pounding lanky jabs, slinging rights upside 
Daniel's head, and her own rangy hook underneath is putting groan on 
Brit's lips as well. Judges think Daniel got more done this round - 
but it's very competitive stuff.


Rd 9: Jessica's legs still lively despite the punishment to her body 
- she takes over the round with Ali-esque dance, surprising lead 
right hands, swatting left hooks to the ear, and a flicking, stinging 
left jab at odd intervals. Daniel following, obviously not reading 
her opponent's reach very well - Biel's surprising Brittany with 
flush connects from outside. Shutout Jessica Biel.


Rd 10: Jessica running out the clock, hands low, making faces as 
stoic Daniel walks her down. After missing most of the first minute, 
Daniel stays composed, steps into a chopping right on the chin that 
connects as Biel pivots away, then twists her hips into a monster 
left hook that bashes past Biel's outstretched arms and drapes 
Jessica helpless on the ropes. Jessica in bad shape - eyes wide and 
fearful, legs locked as Daniel squares up to finish. Brittany 
beautiful on follow up - heartless hooks bash away at weeping ribs, 
shattering right hands punish shiny face - Biel covering up and 
getting ransacked. Final minute, Jessica starts to bob and weave a 
little at the ropes, getting Daniel to miss and a huge exchange of 
hooks puts BRITTANY WOBBLY BUTT! Daniel stunned - Jessica badly 
worked over - Biel lumbers off the ropes with curling lefts and 
rights, banging Daniel back to center ring. Brittany breaking down, 
takes crashing, wide lefts and rights on the jaw that leave her 
stupefied, but the bell sounds to save both participants from further 
torment. Comes back a close UD10, Jessica Biel!



Hard fought, competitive outing from both girls - could have gone 
either way. Biel managing to show more dimension than her young rival 
at this point - banging with the harder punching blonde, outboxing 
her, punching Brittany's body effectively. Daniel left with a bitter 
taste in her mouth - she's just not convinced.
