Before: "Scared? Why would I be scared?" Lightweight AJ says when asked about her welterweight opponent. "I spar with welterweights all the time because lightweights can't go rounds with me - so punching Milena will be like coming home! I'm not worried at all about her size - this is the kind of girl I'd fight in a bearhugging contest, or straight up wrestling - whatever. Besides, my manager has always said that I'm going to have be willing to move up to get fights occasionally: I don't have the luxury of dictating terms in negotiations. We'll see how big she REALLY is once I hit her." Govich thought of as the underdog despite significant advantages in mass and height - but Milena understands the betting. "People think of me as a pro-style wrestling specialist - they're not used to seeing me with the gloves on. I've always been told that I'm too slow for the FCBA, but I look at girls like Katherine Heigl or Brooke Shields and they've just done just fine without blazing handspeed. I'm big and I'll fight big - we'll see if AJ can handle it." Cook in pale green cotton sport top with thin straps; shades-of-green floral motif bikini bottoms; yellow gloves; blonde hair simple, straight, tucked behind ears. Milena in black bra and boy cut panties; black gloves; black hair simple, straight, tucked behind ears. Girls touch gloves without animosity - each just curious to see who's better without a lot of guff.

During R1: Cook up-tempo - jabbing to Milena's body: Govich' dukes up, taking on her tummy, waiting her turn. Cook moving left around poke, completes one circle around Milena, then begins wading into big-girl midriff with short, clubbing rights and lefts. AJ pounding her fists against stout ribs or thick waist, bringing her mitts back to her own chest to reset, slugging her way forward as Milena grunts, takes, retreats. Ropes: Govich upright, grimacing; AJ's methodical hammering of big-girl torso has Govich paralyzed. Blonde pushing her head in between brunette guard, pulling Milena's arms down - Cook doing a nice job mauling and brawling the bigger woman, fighting comfortably off Govich' chest. Midway through, BIG right uppercut flips Milena's head back: she's rocked, slumping forward behind her mitts - curvy legs holding her up. AJ redoubles efforts, body humming as she braces feet wide, pounds away on the arms, lats of her foe, trying to break down the guard. As Govich wilts - AJ's able to penetrate, hooking jug with impunity - really getting in there snug with short, clouting lefts. All Cook to the bell - Milena proving big-girl durable, but absorbing a fearful pummelling to her limbs and torso in a thumping Cook first.

R2: Midring - Cook anxious to get back to work, runs into a short, sneaky right hand as girls fall in. Milena gets her palms on AJ's shoulders, shoving smaller girl around, then pushing her off, stepping into the vacated space: Govich coming forward, shaking off Cook's hard work in the first round. AJ having trouble standing her ground when Milena gets off first: Govich able to fall in behind right hands, palm-up, push AJ around, then walk her down. Girls frequently trading thumping right hands to sturdy guts, then bump each other off shoulders: Govich generally coming forward after the exchanges. Cook frowning, not used to being treated like a shopping cart - she gets a dose of the sheer muscularity of ponderous Milena through 2.

R3: Two way slugging, girls settling into their respective rhythms. AJ's hands much quicker, footwork more useful - she's able to drive into Milena's body, pounding big brunette with short, clouting rights and lefts, working up-torso from the waist to encompass Govich' biceps, pecs, ribcage and rack. Milena frequently extending her open left hand to palm at AJ's head or shoulder, preparatory to leaning in with a short right cross - then falling in with her body to move Cook back. Milena frequently missing with right hands inside; she rests her right forearm on AJ's back after throwing. Corner screaming at Milena to bash at Cook's arms whenever AJ covers up - but blonde's doing most of that kind of thing, simply outworking Milena with thudding volume.

R4: Cook breathing hard: she's throwing a ton of punches trying to keep Govich occupied. AJ attacks again - belly jab leading to clubbing assaults against Milena's prepared defences: blonde wallop clapping against biceps/flanks; uppercuts scraping against the front bars of Milena's sturdy forearms; muscular, plugging rights tucked into firm brunette tummy. Thick resistance of Govich's sturdy frame evident when Cook connects - shockwaves sent through blonde arms, back and buttocks as her punch digs into beef. Milena grunting, cringing slightly: Cook proving she's got welterweight power packed into that compact frame of hers. Down the stretch, AJ coming forward eats a short, shrugging right uppercut: immediate spasming in blonde legs forces her to clinch or go down. Govich twisting AJ in the grasp, bodying her to ropes: brunette stuffing in rights and left to body, slugging around extended blonde arms as Cook hangs on for ref's break.

R5: Cook still buzzed - Milena finally able to be first with consistency, get her body on AJ and walk her to ropes. Cook covering up earmuff, stooping forward behind mitts: blonde having her own sturdiness tested this round as big brunette squares away. Nothing fancy - Milena's feet wide, lips pursed as she leans side to side, pulling huge, Foremanesque wallops into AJ's trembling frame. Loud spank sounding out from Cook's chassis as Milena beats at her - slamming blows taking AJ in her flanks, smacking against bicep, skidding off shoulders and scalp. Milena methodically working side to side for the most part, but occasionally stooping, reaching in under AJ's arms to stack her up: Govich seeking plugging right hands to AJ's midsection while snaking the left arm round Cook's back. Ref issuing breaks whenever Cook can glom on: she's a banged up beauty, doing well to manage the punishment and get out of the round without taking a knee.
