Before: Connelly meets the press, "No question about it, moving up is always a challenge, and I'm still getting used to the weight. I want to carry more muscle over 120 and that's a gradual process - I'm not just eating my way into the division like a Theron at welterweight. I want to be able last once I'm established. Average lightweights are like great bantam weights and they all want a piece of me. There are no easy passes and I don't expect Leoni to lie down for me either." Tea a similar physiognomy and style to the girls who have given Jen fits thus far - no shortage of tall, skilled fighters at sub 130. Jen in navy sports bra, red boy cut trunks, Tea in navy sports bra, navy stretch pants to the ankle.

During R1: Leoni on her toes, confident, rambling to her left behind a spicy flicking jab as Connelly stalks forward. Leoni able to pat down Jen's face with the quick mitt lefts - once, twice - then bound away - she's letting her legs set the flow. Midway through, Connelly bobbing, getting under the jab - Tea stepping into position, backhands the jab, bends into a spearing right down the pike. Connelly waiting for it, slips under the cross to the left, comes out of the crouch and NAILS Tea pulling back too late to avoid the counter hook on the chops! Leoni reeling back with her momentum, crashes to her backside at the ropes - eyes wide and wrecked - she clambers up the ropes to take a staring 8. Connelly with time on the clock, moves in with a measuring right and TORQUES THAT HOOK! Oh, Leoni's ribs - Tea folding forward face in her gloves, soaking up a withering bombardment to her right side and LEONI GOES DOWN! Tea sinking to her haunches, hugging herself and bursting into abject tears - she can't go on - KO1 Jennifer Connelly!

After: Connelly stomping and bellowing around the ring red faced with blood lust - answers critics with a resounding dismissal of trickster Leoni. "These tall girls have been hitting me with right hands," says a buoyant Jen in post fight, angling down with her hand to show the trajectory that's been featured against her, "so I knew Leoni would be looking for the punch. We've worked so hard on countering right hands with my hook that I could do it in my sleep and as soon as I saw her plant, I knew I had her." Key adjustment well made and most importantly - Jen carrying good pop once she had her girl set up.
