Before: Casta in her first title romp - French slugger leaving the friendly confines of Europe to challenge on US soil, brings more questions than answers to the fray. Laetitia with a heavy slogging right hand and stubborn tenacity in many situations, but Elizabeth a lathering type puncher with stops over the best fighters in the business - Shannon enters every inch the queen tonight. Elizabeth in pale blue bra and panties, Laetitia in brown bra style bikini.

During R1: Crowd roars early as Casta strikes the first blow - loading up and clocking Elizabeth a swinging right on the jaw - Shannon rocked to her right, comes right back and promised slugfest explodes midring. Laetitia reaching with her left to measure, then plowing away with wide rights, shooting to the ribcage as well as the jaw and getting nice spank off the champ as Elizabeth takes on leather. Shannon absorbing punishment well, gets it going at the half way point, slapping at first, then really getting churning leverage into whippy lefts and rights, swaying her body side to side to crank it home. Casta starting to shake as her jaw takes strokes and LAETITIA'S HURT! Elizabeth breaks into smile as she pours it on, now carving away, battering the French girl to the ropes - Casta staring, hands at her stomach, punches bursting off her stunned face and CASTA IS DOWN! Laetitia beaten to her knees at the ropes, slumps to her right hip - busted up and leaking from the eyebrow, Laetitia's a pathetic sight as she stares around the ring, lolling head heavy on her neck. It's over - Elizabeth lifting her mitts and strutting, licking her own blood from a cracked lower lip and grinning ear to ear. KO1 Shannon Elizabeth.

After: Artless brawl leaves Casta dazed and battered as Shannon unleashes hell, simply punching her way past the French supermodel. Laetitia goes out on her shield, choosing to find out the hard way what Elizabeth's all about - talk about a long, lonely plane ride home. Crowd roaring "SHANNON! SHANNON!" in appreciation of Elizabeth's populist style - the banger is back big time with this truncheon job.
