Before: Heigl taking the path of the warrior—no pork-barrelling in THIS title reign. “When I hammered Charlize to the sidelines,” says Kat in prefight, “It should have been apparent to everyone that I mean business. I want to separate myself from lame-o champions like Charisma Carpenter and that means: Cat Bell, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Garner. Well I’ve KO’d Bell, beaten Theron into a slobbering wreck and I’ve saved the best for last. When I take this particular scalp, there will simply be no denying

That I rule this division with an iron fist!” Garner giving credit where credit is due” “Obviously, this isn’t the soft-tub-of-goo Heigl everyone’s been punching around the last few years: this girl’s definitely gotten her act together. They say becoming champion makes a girl 50% better and I believe it in Katherine’s case—she’s very a very confident woman right now and confident women are dangerous. She’s big, she’s strong, she’s

durable—I’m coming prepared to work hard every minute of every round to break her down.” Heigl in beige crochet bikini, blonde curls back in messy low ponytail—Jen in electric blue surfer chick bikini (shoulder straps), short battle braid.

During R1: Girls pound jabs like power punches. Heigl: right at temple in Jewel Kilcher frame defence—jamming out the left as she steps, bringing the mitt back to her hip, the  raising it to her cheek for the next jab. Jen: moving her upperbody more, more apt to double up the jab, spitting it body and head. Jen sees Kathy bringing her jab back low and scores with stamp-straight right hands on the left eye, ringing Heigl up early. Pinpoint Garner punches, superior footwork guide former champ to early points—she steops around, bangs away, keeps her distance.

R2: Exact same—Heigl coming forward, giving up stout body jabs, spanked to the face crisp Garner counter-right hands—Kathy getting touched up and turning midring. Heigl swinging heavy right hands to Jen’s hip, pounding a muscular jab up the middle, but not busy enough—Garner keeping the action midring, circling her foe, getting off sharply and stepping away from receipts. Both girls calm, deliberate—nothing wild or hurried—Jen’s just more efficient through 2.

R3: Heigl listening to her corner, bringing the jab back to her eyebrow now as she steps Garner down—blonde marching forward behind that frame defence to cut off the ring better. Garner giving ground, then flurrying off the ropes, spinning around Katherine to keep clear of the apron. Rigid, ratatat blows from Garner—mostly blocked—but banging out loud up and down Heigl’s plush torso. Kathy relentless, jabbing to Jennifer’s chest, walking her down—final minu8te see Heigl landing a BOOMING right amidships that locks Garner’s knees up. Kathy in close behind her guard, dips left, picks Jen up a shrugging left uppercut, dips right to pull the left hook across Jens right cheek and GARNER REELS TO THE ROPES! Jennifer stunned, staring—she earmuffs up, stoops forward and EATS A THICK RIGHT UPPERCUT! Heigl arching her back, picking Jen up the right uppie between the mitts—glorious shot puts Garner wobbly butt. Heigl pushing in on Jen’s chest to stack her up beefy—champ consolidates in challenger’s waistline with big fat sock—clumping lefts and rights have garner groaning forward at the bell.

R4: Heigl takes over, ramrod jab startling Garner, banging her head back, leaving her staring in confusion. Thudding sidearm rights to the ribs/stomach, landing loud and wet, sending shock through garner’s stout frame. Muscular palming and pushing—Heigl getting on Jen, walking her back, crowding her to the ropes. Cudgeling beatdowns along the apron—Jen tilting forward, gloves at temples—Heigl bashing away biceps, back, shoulders, ribs, skull. Down the stretch, Kathy hoisting right hands up underneath like she’s swinging sandbags into Jen—taking Garner in the solar plexus—series of pumping blows dislodges Garner’s mouthpiece! JEN TAKES A KNEE! Garner gasping, right hand protective at her temple as she steadies herself a left hand in the ropes—Heigl looming over top, nostrils flaring—ref eases her back as Kathy breathes in the hurt.

R5: Jen Garner answers and answers with vigour, Jennifer hurt to her body, but stout-legged—she steps to spots, walks Katherine in, then outhustles her with ringing lefts and rights in compact bursts. Swivel pivots to either side—garner staying close to her opponent, just turning either flank, then digging to Heigl’s body: Kathy’s ribs and tummy starting to pink up nicely. Heigl grimacing behind her high guard—she’s walking Jen down, but giving up torso to do it—Jenny really tearing it up two handed down there. Garner looking for short right uppercuts off the step-right—fitting’em in snug, then going jug with robust scrubbing action, swishing away left-right. Heigl on her heels as JG chops into chest—pelting jug-mug puts champ’s back on ropes for the first time tonight as challenger romps to the bell.

R6: Kathy so solid, stepping Jen down behind that bashing jab, presenting the tight frame D, issuing to the body as Garner opens up—it’s beefy, hamhanded two way in the sixth. Garner’s chassis being repeatedly shaken by bashing Heigl haymakers—Katherine dutifully hammering either flank, getting up underneath with uppercuts, showing more variety off the jab than expected. They’re laying in mouth-on-shoulders more—both women warned for bumping skulls in there—both reaching in under opponent’s arms to writhe for position, shoving in close-range hurt whenever possible, it’s close, hard to score stuff, but Heigl walking Jen to ropes and getting her, smothering her, pulling at her seems to be the bossier vixen through 6.

R7: Katherine earns clear separation, wading into Jen’s midsection with rich, thick, strapping lefts and rights, forcing garner to guppy-gulp for air, step back and regroup. Jen really getting stamped that heavy Heigl jab—Kathy nice and long with it, catching Garner when JG thinks she’s safely out of reach. Heigl munching into sturdy brunette ribs, digging up the lungs, and occasionally stepping into a very short straight-spearing right hand punch just beneath the heart, Garner sobbing aloud, backing away with a pained grimace from these heart-punches—Heigl gleefully taking vacated canvas with increasing confidence through 7.

R8: Jen Garner erupts! Doubles up jabbing with renewed vigour slows Heigl midring, forcing her to camp out behind her guard. Savage rips amidships—lefts and rights—bit into firm Heigl-flesh, cramping her up. Lusty uppercuts jerked short n’ sharp between the mitts straighten Kathy up, startling her and GARNER WADES INTO JUG! Jennifer backing Heigl up beefy, jamming short lefts and right square to rack—Heigl hits ropes in a fog, open-mouthed from the savagery. Halfway point: three straight jerking right uppercuts loosen Kathy up behind the mitts—she sags upright, staring and HEIGL’S HURT! Garner unleashes—TEARING at the champ body and head—putting clouting lefts and rights together in vicious patterns. Heigl staring, right at her cheek, left across her gut, freezing up as punches smash into and bounce off her face, shoulders, chest and turn. OH THE HUMANITY!—Jen Garner beats Heigl into stupor, tattooing her at the ropes, hammering her droopy from one foot to the other but THE CHAMP WON’T GO DOWN! Bell: Jennifer Garner SEETHING, nostrils flaring, chest heaving, arms humming—Heigl reaching her right hand to steady herself, bleeding from the nose swaying on the spot, but defiant: she’s just taken the best her challenger has to offer.

R9: Katherine relentless, cold-blooded as she stalks Garner, walks her down behind that heavy jab/frame defence look. Jennifer mouth breathing, going all-in in the 8^th—she’s hopping to the perimeter, shaking out her arms, desperately trying to revive dead limbs, Takes Heigl a minute and a half to cut off the ring, but she finally pins Garner down at ropes, jabbing her to stabilize, then fitting in cruel, flat-knuckled right sin under the heart like a heartless blonde stamping machine. Garner shuddering under the impacts, covering up and slumping in the ropes—she’s bringing her forearms together trying to close off the middle of her body: Heigl smashes away at the flanks. All Kat Heigl to the bell, ringing Jenny’s flanks, jerking zesty uppercuts—some of it blocked, but Garner basically stationary, right there for the murderous punching of the champ.

R10: Look at Heigl’s jab! Jennifer mouth breathing, trying to lope around Heigl—Kathy potting jen jabs on the mouth, actually knocks the mouthpiece free with poke alone! Second minute—Garner forlorn, sitting on the ropes, rolling and blocking—Kathy just heaping a beating, riding her left forearm on Jen’s upper back, making her feel weight. Scraping right uppercuts get to Jen between her mitts—Kathy carving’em tight off her right foot, just jerking away lusty and GARNER GOES DOWN! Another veteran knee—Jen in charge of faculties, but busting up and needing a break—she takes 8 with pursed lips, stoic eyes ad HEIGL MARCHES IN! All Kathy Heigl to the bell—palming Jen’s shoulders, reefing her amidships George Foreman style, pushing down on Garner’s upper back with heavy forearms to tire the brunette out even more. Big sloppy blonde beatdown to the bell—Heigl crudely, but effectively  bludgeons her challenger as Garner bobs and blocks sluggishly to the finish line. Comes back UD10 for the winner and STILL lightweight champ—Katherine Heigl!

After: More tears of jubilation—Katherine Heigl becoming one of those heartwarming stories as long time bridesmaid starts ringing up and turning back elite names in championship fights. Garner systematically hunted down and abused tonight—she’s hollow-eyed, puffy-cheeked in the aftermath, staring at the canvas and looking very, very, tender as she minces around. Heigl fortifying her position as boxing’s newest tyrant with a heavy-handed defense, offsetting Garner’s speed and skill advantages, imposing her own advantages on the challenger—it’s a terrific win for hard-working blonde.
