BEFORE: "You know, Benz is one of those slick, poised veterans who can be a real threat in the ring," Lilly acknowledges in prefight. "She's not overpowering in any one area...don't think she can hurt me...but she COULD manufacture points and maybe win a stinker, so it's a different sort of challenge for me. She might be the smartest fighter in the division, and tests like that don't come around every day." Benz a prohibitive underdog coming in, but she's very upbeat about her chances. "I go back to Lilly's work against Britney," tape-hound Benz relates. "Evangeline never looked good attacking Brit's flexible pocket, and I think you can argue that Lilly has avoided Spears ever since. So there's a chink in Evangeline's armor; something there I can exploit. I'm not going to be able to hit her like Missy Peregrym did: I've got to rely on timing and scheme for power, but I CAN hurt her - I'm convinced of it!" Lilly in pea green sport top; baby blue bikini bottoms with navy swirl pattern; small powder blue mitts; long curly hair back in scruffy ponytail. Benz in pink stretch-cotton yoga top with thin straps; tight grey yoga shorts; small black gloves; hair in scruffy ponytail.

During R1: No-nonsense Lilly stubby-jabs Benz to ropes, begins immediate operations to reduce blonde pocket. Benz: scowling; left shoulder pointed at Lilly; right just inside left shoulder; left across her gut. Blonde bobbing in the pocket, getting left shoulder into Lilly's body to lever her off; blonde leaning into ropes with right shoulder - bending at the waist to slip-and-roll Lilly's right hands...only the hook's really getting through, punishing the Benz breasts. All Evangeline as Benz proves hard to hit clean, but available for energy-draining flanks-and-arms strikes.

R2: Same tactical dispositions as Lilly quickly jabs Benz to ropes, then processes the pocket; Benz in slick closed stance, slippin' and rollin'. Lilly: bobbing on the spot - constantly bumping-guard with her forehead, or knuckling at Benz in rhythm with thump-thump punching. Lilly chugging in rights and lefts to waistline/hips, really working Benz over: thudding body shots prompt blonde clinch at minute mark as Julie feels the heat. After ref's break, Benz elects to maintain the pocket: legs are dug in at apron, but torso is flexible. Lilly's attack spreads from the waist/belly to encompass flanks and arms again: full-spectrum torso-pounding shaking Benz in her stance. Down the stretch - Lilly bobbing and belting robusto when suddenly...slip-and-roll counter right hand from Benz catches Lilly perfectly under the chin! Evangeline clipped...back (right) knee buckles, touching down briefly...she straightens right back up, but ref quickly bodies her into ropes for a standing 8! Julie stalking past, checking Lilly's eyes: blonde girl steals round with flash knockdown, leapfrogging into the lead via 10-8 second!

R3: Benz spitting jabs, competing midring, peppering Lilly, forcing her to bog-and-block. Lilly circles to her right, turning Lilly's left flank, then spots her short, straight right hands down the pike. Evangeline getting face-spanked here - Benz' small mitts kissing off the edges of Lilly's pate, brows and cheeks...Julie just working behind the jab, nibbling her brunette. Takes Lilly a couple of minutes to cut ring off and bank hooks-to-gut: by then, Benz more than comfortable drawing Evangeline into clinches to run the clock. Julie building a cutey-pie lead on all cards through 3: Lilly frowning, looking a little frustrated on the walk back to corner.

R4: Lilly spitting stubby jabs, upping her tempo: Benz quickly driven to ropes and placed under siege. Julie cute and slick - rolling shots with her left shoulder; bobbing-and-rolling in the pocket; pulling Evangeline into head-and-arm clinches...but Benz simply unable to counter effectively. Astounding pressure mounted by Lilly...clever brunette ignoring Julie's hard-to-find chin in favour of sustaining a constant pounding hips/tummy/ribs/arms. Julie mouthbreathing at bell, looking a little frazzled through 4.

R5: Benz in closed stance, fading to ropes, luring LIlly forward...blonde girl executes exquisite counter-right hand as Lilly's moving in - rolling right with Lilly's right hand, then coming back underneath with slick right uppercut to chin. LILLY'S WOBBLY BUTT! Ringing blast to chin picks Evangeline up out of her crouch...she blunders out of orbit, stumbling to her left into ropes as Benz rotates out from underneath. Julie now on top, eyes pitiless: couple of sorting jabs push at Lilly's breasts, then Benz bends in righty upside the head! Evangeline in stupor - arms crossed at her body, eyes staring...Benz letting hands go head and body both, trying to numb Lilly in the pocket. Evangeline worked over - she's hurt, not reacting well at first - just moving her hands from crossed arm to earmuff and back again as Julie belts away. Down the stretch, Benz' fury abates and Lilly's still there: brunette able to tilt forward, hook blonde gut and start toe-to-toe trading. Julie astonished at Lilly's recovery rate...blonde legs back to midring, disengaging as Evangeline looks ready to rumble! Benz ahead through 5, nibbling and vexing to good effect at the half way point.

R6: Lilly shakes off hurt, gets back to business - very conscious of moving her head while spitting jabs as Benz' crafty counters have earned respect. Julie driven ropeside, methodically processed: blonde looking disheveled, mouthbreathing as Evangeline sustains a withering tempo. Julie not as elusive as had been: hooks find her chin as Lilly bobs up out of her crouch; clubbing right hands start skidding off Julie's left shoulder and into her left ear/cheek. Lilly bobbing, working up and down, bumping and jostling Benz with head/shoulders/knuckle-pushes/elbows...Evangeline just throwing a blanket over Benz and breaking out the crow-bar here. Bell: Lilly making hard eye contact as Benz sags against ropes, looking spent.

R7: Lilly pours it on, flooding Julie's pocket defences at the ropes with insane, non-stop, withering pressure. Thumping right/lefts to belly cripple Julie, bunching her foreward: Lilly now reaching in under Benz' arms, ragdolling her to ropes, and getting Benz out of her closed stance into a more open, squared-up look. Lilly bobbing and pounding and jostling...Benz visibly unraveling, no longer able to manage the incoming. Thumping body attack sets up hooks and clubbing rights about the head and shoulders...Julie loosens at the minute mark, slumping helplessly against ropes, her hands dropping to her belly...Lilly merciless, hooks Julie sleepy across the mouth; smashes a right off Julie's forehead that puts blonde girl out on her feet...ref jumps in to gather Benz up before she can fall. TKO7 Evangeline Lilly in ferocious fashion.

After: Lilly hugging and chatting with Julie in the aftermath - clever blonde veteran worked the Spears routine to good effect early, but without the Spears power, Evangeline proved irresistible. "She's definitely as tricky as promised," a relieved Evangeline Lilly says in postfight. "She surprised me - got into my legs a bit with those sneaky right hands of hers, but I just powered through. End of the day, Julie's a true bantam, and I just don't think any true bantam can handle me!"
