Before: "Two disgraced warriors," chirps special commentator Lisa Rinna, "one chance for redemption - I love it. Famke's probably had the higher-profile career: she had that classic series against Peta Wilson; she took a title late in her career and she holds a good win over Tricia Helfer. Henstridge probably had the better potential: she's bigger than Famke, more powerful - but for whatever reason, Natasha never really seemed to put it all together. I know Natasha in particular was deeply humiliated by the way she went out against Mandy Moore, and I think she might be the hungrier girl in this contest - she's my pick to put the finishing touch to Famke." Janssen in white tank top and panties; scruffy bed-time ponytail with messy bangs; white gloves. Nat in baby blue tank top and panties, white gloves; scruffy ponytail.

 

During R1: Upright stances - right hands close to mouths, left hands lower but nearby, ready to jab. Elbows in, chins tucked, eyes scowling fiercely as vixens circle clockwise. Sharp, stiff jabs setting up short, heavy right hands - then both vixens looking to dip-right to pull the mop-up hook across. Good just-in-time movement - neither girl real fleet of foot, but both showing economy of footwork. Nat will jab her way in - Famke will slide back from the pressure, bobbing her head, then hooking back hard to back Henny off. Workmanlike first tactical, thoughtful, hard-punching, defensively sound as girls box at range midring.

 

R2: Shutout Henstridge - she's walking Famke down behind a thudding jab - just patient blonde pressure. Janssen scowling, stepping to either side, looking to negotiate Henny's pummelling stick with educated footwork.

 

R3: Much more spirited tussling - gunplatform shelling from both beauties. Strong, pounding jabs setting it all up for both vixens - they're taking turns forcing the other back, then cashing in lusty right crosses, strapping left hooks. Defense still very good - girls covering up at temples, moving heads: some strong shellack being well defended in long-limbed exchanges. Both vixens leaning in straight shots - great leverage as long bodied gals generate harpooning impacts. Famke a little busier, taking canvas away from Henstridge and starting to put a heavy jab down into Henny's body as well.

 

R4: Same again - lanky lasses pounding away on prepared defenses - great stand and deliver shelling. Natasha joining in on the body punching trend - slanting the odd straight right down into Famke's sternum - hooking Famke thick in her flank. Henny stepping into Janssen and muscling her for the first time: blonde bodying brunette off her stance, pushing her around the ring. Fight still taking place midring - action proceeding in orderly punching turns: Henny busier, doing more, ekes out another close round.

 

R5: Famke dominates bell to bell. Janssen's jab punches back Nat's face, breaking down Henny's defence for the first time: brunette right hands streak through to chin and body, chasing Henstridge to ropes. Famke walking Nat down, punishing her as Henny covers up earmuff: strong brunette minutes featuring steady, clobbering work, head and body. Famke stalking her prey along ropes - pinning Henny down with jabs, leaning in the right, finishing up the hook. Midway through, Henstridge beaten to an exchange off hooks and badly hurt: follow up rights and lefts batter her to hands and knees. Janssen mopping up strong down the stretch, staying on her girl, starting to muscle Nat big-girl with palm shoves and rough shoulder bumps setting up wallop. Henny wobbly butt to her corner, badly shaken.

 

R6: Henny stabilizes her front: pace slows midring - girls falling in and resting after punching. Ref issuing breaks - women separating, taking deep breaths, stepping around with wary eyes. Henstridge the stronger girl in the clinch - she's walking Famke around, pushing her to ropes for breaks - Janssen can't add to her big fifth round.

 

R7: Famke's jab slicing through - she's starting to punish Henny's face, busting up those chiselled cheek bones. Janssen's right crosses penetrating, ringing Henny up to chin - Famke also shooting the right down into Henny's sternum to good effect, gutting blonde as she's stooping forward behind her mitts. Janssen's hook up top getting blocked by Henny's temple-high right: Janssen's starting to adjust with left uppercuts instead - splitting Henny's mitts. Janssen pushing Henstridge in her shoulders - brunette emerging stronger from the exchanges, shoving blonde back and walking her down.

 

R8: Pendulum swings back to Henny: now HER jab starts to dominate, punishing Famke's angular bone structure. Famke bearing up well under hard rights to her chin: Janssen crouching and covering when hit, but standing upright under withering fire. Henstridge batting her hook against Famke's flank and tummy - nice, fat strapping shots starting to beat the breath from Famke - forcing her to clinch for breaks, face stricken.

 

R9: RIGHT HAND, NAT HENSTRIDGE! Famke well-stroked - torso reeling on her hips, legs rubbery, dukes at her temples. Nat workmanlike, licking her lips as she bats hooks against her foe's ribcage: Famke groaning, reaches in to clinch. Henny walking Famke down, jabbing her heartlessly to face: Janssen busting up, hands dropping as heavy blonde hands start to find the mark. Nat unable to sustain her great start however: Famke stabilizes her front with stiff, stiff jabs in the third minute, shutting Nat down and forcing HER to cover up as Janssen puts 'em together groggy at the bell.

 

R10: Strong, ponderous, heavy-handed turn taking continues midring. Both girls a little rickety from punishment, digging in flat footed, hands at temples when it's not their turn. On offence, women pump jabs, try to force the right hand up the middle, then club away thick hooks - back and forth, back and forth, they slam away. Slow clockwise rotation a natural consequence of the 3 punch rhythms. Defences sturdy, most punches at least partially blocked upstairs. Goes to the cards - both women exhausted, badly busted up as they wait side by side for the decision. Comes back UD10 - draw.

 

After: Hardfought, well-made match as the women extend each other - but has either got enough left for a serious run at big-girl comp. "You know - they fought their hearts out," says Rinna in postfight. "But they both looked shot to me. Their hands are really slow - but look how beat up they got anyway. Somebody needs to take these girls aside and tell 'em that it's over - it's time to move on and let the next generation take over."
