BEFORE: "Yeah, I know exactly who Erica Durance is and how tough she is," a confident Daniella says in prefight, "and I wouldn't have it any other way. Honestly, I see the candy-ass way girls like Anna Torv or Jill Wagner pussyfoot around and it makes me sick. I'm here to fight - I don't want some cup cake easy-bake debut: I want the toughest girl they can get for me, and Erica's about as good as they get! I'm jumpin' into the deep end of the pool, and I'm lovin' it!" Durance upbeat, enjoying Daniella's 'tude at podium. "I do see a lot of similarities between us," Erica says, in response to running commentary on how Ruah might be the new Durance. "She's very brash turning pro: so was I. She's very rangy and physical; I came into the pro's with top-echelon physicality as well. I remember when I came in, I actually wanted Jennifer O'Dell for my debut, and she was the best lightweight going at the time, so I think I know where Daniella's head is at. If our bodies cancel out, then I look for my experience to take the fight from her, but I won't take anything for granted. Anyone can see this kid's a fighter!" Royal blue sports bra/crimson sport-bikini bottoms/yellow gloves for Durance - hair in dark brown ringlets. Ruah in gunmetal blue sports bra; grey stretch cotton bikini bottoms; white gloves; hair tied back off her brows.

R1: Durance out-jabbed at the open as Ruah finds her mouth once, twice, then Daniella's downstairs, working the waistline right/left/right. Erica brings elbows in, holding fists at cheeks: Danielle edges her left shoulder into Erica's guard, shoves her back, hooks her tummy, clubs a looping right to left ear. Erica rallying, trying to issue: Ruah narrow-eyed, pounding at Durance's breasts left/left/right as Erica's trying to open up. Durance forced backward again, caught a hook across her mouth...she's frowning in confusion, feeling intense pressure early. Ruah rangy, relaxed, keeping elbows in, dukes up, leaning forward/twisting on her hips to paint Erica with ringing shellack. Bell: Durance soundly outboxed, outhit...she goes back to her corner with some things to think about for the second.

R2: Same tight, elbows-in guard for Erica as she takes midring, eyes intense. Erica calm in the pocket, parrying Ruah's thumping jab: hook receipts from Erica short, clouting, taking Daniella in her breasts, mouth. Daniella knocked off stance, forced to regroup...Erica steps-to and encounters FEROCIOUS volley-fire to the body - Ruah just laying in rangy rights and lefts to offending waistline. Durance digs in, returns fire in kind - splendid spanking back and forth beats both womeh breathless. Down the stretch, Ruah's form a little loose on wide punches...Erica able to dip inside with dukes at her cheeks, counter short n' vicious hooks to body, then bobbing up top to hook Daniella's chin and DOWN GOES RUAH! Perfectly timed, crisp left hook sends Ruah scooting to her rear: she's up quick, but looking startled at bell.

R3: Ruah composed midring, feeding Erica that long, pounding left, keeping Durance covered up tight. Ruah dropping right hands off the third or fourth jab - blocked - but finishing up a gorgeous left uppercut in Erica's midsection off the front (left) plant-leg. Durance wincing in pain, feeling the heft of Ruah's leather: Daniella cold-blooded, sidestepping her girl, shelling her jab, seeing if the right hand can get in and finishing up those withering lefts in the body. Textbook stuff - Ruah showing class and wicked rangy leverage...she's got Erica shut down, covered up and taking tuff through 3.

R4: Pendulum swings back to Erica. Elbows in/hands at cheeks - she tic-toc weave in under Ruah's jab, comes up hooking to Daniella's jugs, punching latina onto her heels. Weaving inside, Durance able to snap off thudding combinations, hammering Ruah body/head/chest. Daniella taking a good shot, but backing up, blinking: her turn to feel the heat as Erica walks her down. Durance keeping in touch with the jab, but always weaving in close to get her work done: Ruah's covering up earmuff, keeping elbows in and letting punches test her torso in the fourth. Frowning glares all around after the bell - both ribcages/flanks pink and glowing after shocking abuse both ways.

R5. Hard fought two-way round - both vixens having their way at times. Ruah popping her hips, lashing the body lanky rights and lefts: Erica tight-lipped, grunting into her gloves in receipt. Durance doubling up the jab, weaving her way in: SHE'S hooking the midsection well, then pummeling her way up-torso, showing compact, quick hands at closer quarters. We're seeing a heavy jab, a classic latina hook and slinging overhand rights from Ruah; a swift double-jab, tidy combos to the body and tightly-clipped uppercuts inside from Erica.

R6: SHOCKINGLY hard, slinging right hand flattens Erica's rack early: she's stunned, on her heels, staring when a follow-up wide hook slaps her mouth. Erica swaying on the spot, deeply confused: slinging right clobbers her chin aside as Ruah leans in and down, getting her back into crashing wallop. DOWN GOES ERICA! Splashy knockdown puts Durance on her back...crowd in a frenzy when she doesn't immediately make a move to rise. Durance beats the count shabby, laying on ropes in rigid earmuff as HERE COMES DANIELLA! Ruah smart with hurt prey, cudgelling Erica's waist right/left/right; dipping her right shoulder in hesitation, then triggering the jagged right uppercut between Erica's mitts. Durance' face kicks back from her gloves, lashes batting: Ruah's hook curls across, clouts the chin aside, shooting Erica's mouthpiece into the crowd. Durance sliding hurt along ropes, curvy legs holding her up...Ruah stalking with eyes-blazing, hooking from Erica's left to take her deep to belly. Erica groaning, folding forward: Ruah steps in close, hooks those jugs, then dips left to reach a hook thick behind Erica's right elbow. Durance clinches, legs shimmying: she's desperately hurt, feeling Ruah's power in the sixth!

R7: Ruah the aggressor, jabbing Erica's forehead, then pouring the long right hand into the Durance sportsbra: crashing whacks to jug loosen Erica, driving her ropeside. Ruah walking Erica down, squaring up on her: Daniella getting big - pushing Durance upright by her shoulders, then lambasting that waistline those thick, rangy rights and lefts. Erica stooping in agony: Daniella propping her upright with chickenwinged left elbow, then continuing the massive body shellack. Durance keeping elbows in/hands up, rolling torso in the pocket: Ruah also with elbows in, getting legs/hips/back into all her shots for maximum leverage. Down the stretch, Erica nipping back short left uppercuts off the ropes manages to keep Daniella honest: Ruah taking clean on her chin with no visible effect on her legs, though her punching is pre-empted.

R8: Ruah wading into Erica via wide right to the ribs, then a gouging left hook to sternum, backing Durance up. Erica grimacing, stepping back in good order, walking Ruah in, hooking her breasts, then her chin in rapid fire sequence. Erice keeping elbow in tight, rolling in the pocket at rangy Ruah wraps haymakers around Durance' shoulders: Erica able to work inside Daniella's reach, fitting her for tidy little uppercuts to chin. Erica rolling and punching in rhythm, just getting touches...RUAH GOES WOBBLY BUTT! Daniella's eyes suddenly moist, her legs rubbery...she slaps a wide left hook (blocked) and eats a crunching, short-short left hook on the chin as Erica steps inside to get it tight. DOWN GOES RUAH! Daniella spilling onto her back as Erica insures the knockdown by carrying her body into her rival...Ruah all rickety getting up, gathering herself for 8. ON COMES ERICA! Durance giving Ruah a taste of her own medicine, squaring away to hook the gut, loosening Daniella up in the pocket. Ruah stunned, sitting in ropes, trying to cover up earmuff as she stoops forward...Erica heartless, whacking the girl a chopping right behind left elbow, then a hacking left behind right elbow; short right uppercut to breasts; short left dip-and-rip uppercut to sternum underneath; clipping right uppercut off the overhanging face and DOWN GOES RUAH! Daniella bellying in - she's a tragic sight trying to push herself off her chest, eyes all glassy and forlorn. She's up at 11, swaying back into ropes all buzzed and helpless as ref hugs her to safety. KO8 in last-woman-standing fashion, Erica Durance.

After: Durance battered-but-jubilant in victory, grimacing as she lifts her arms so her ribs can be tensered in the immediate aftermath. Classy Durance has a hug and words of encouragement for a still-woozy Daniella Ruah...Latina was ahead going into the 8th as the cards are revealed. "Whew!" Erica exclaims in postfight. "They said she'd be a test, but wow: girl's got sock. A little sloppy in spots - I was able to exploit the holes in her delivery, but Daniella's a tough, tough cookie. A little seasoning and this kid could be a killer...maybe even another me, in a few years!" Ruah garnering buzz with the performance, rumoured to already be tapped for management and with upcoming fights against Wagner, Garrett and possibly Eva Larue, she could be busy for a while
