Pressly obviously relishing the 'rival badass' element of the promotion - fearlessly holding Brandy's gaze during tuff-girl staredowns and photoshoots. "I've bitchslapped a lot of FCBA punks," Pressly says in prefight, "Brandy's bitchslapped her fair share too - guess we'll finally see who's baddest after all. I get a kick out of how she tries to glare me down - I'm like all 'oooooh - you FROWNED at me - I'm SO scared'. Believe me, when we get to swappin', Brandy's going to look like yesterday's news in a hurry." Ledford with a gaudy record over the last 12 months - but most credible opponent might have been Tiffany Thiessen during that span - Pressly a big step up for veteran blonde. "Jaime's got a lot of people fooled," Ledford confides to BLONDE! magazine, "but I'm not one of them. When she gets hurt, she's gonna put on a show Katie Holmes would be ashamed of. Pressly's attitude is paper-thin and I can't be the one to finally expose her." Pressly in metallic hot pink bikini, Brandy in lime green bikini.

Rd 1: Pressly dominating with reflexes, legs as she roams ring, mounts darting rushes behind her jab. Jaime shooting in stick to Ledford's breasts and belly - jamming in thick, scooting back outside - Brandy late with the receipts. Ledford dukes up, elbows in, looking to edge in close and bang the ribcage - knows she can't compete with springy-legged Krusher on the outside.

Rd 2: Pressly with a shocking lead right over Brandy's left - quick clouting left on the teeth, pounding right on the mouth nearly puts Ledford on bended knee. Brandy shook, hands at temples, stumbling forward - Pressly happily walks her girl into a licking assortment of hooks and crosses, ribs and ears.

Rd 3: Pattern continues - Ledford slower, trying to close - Pressly much quicker, circling, initiating and escaping at will. Jaime thrusting to Brandy's body with the jab, getting in there stiff, stepping out, frustrating the older beauty. Pressly's lead right hands landing with alarming ease - clouting Ledford hard to jaw, buckling Brandy's knees - Jaime getting off with bandy-armed leverage and scooting to the side after clanging connects stake her to a 3 love lead.

Rd 4: Brandy jabbing to Jaime's chest, doubling up and spitting the stick - Pressly maneuvered to the ropes for the first time. Girls setting up toe to toe, heads and hands close together in a rubbing bundle of blonde - and Ledford's doing the work. Brandy with her guard on Jaime's, dips and works the waist, ribs with batting lefts and rights, brings hands back quick to guard up once again. Brandy doubling up the hook, licking it rib/ear - also showing a pretty left hook/left uppercut, picking up Jaime's face. Pressly just laying in, face behind her gloves, soaking it up in good shape, but taking a methodical thumping for no good reason as Brandy goes bell to bell.

Rd 5: Brandy jabbing, disrupting Pressly: older fighter using wiles, technique to offset younger beauty's impressive athleticism. More grinding head-on-head toe-to-toe as Ledford steps and bangs Pressly around the ring - Brandy patiently pounding both sides the ribcage, digging up the gut, picking up chin and swatting either ear with a constant, hard working barrage. Pressly seemingly careless - leaning forward behind her guard, occasionally easing her weight onto her right foot to pull hooks sharp across Ledford's face or breasts, easing onto left foot to chop in short rights to jaw. Ledford warned for straying into Jaime's trunks with hooks: borderline shots, not strictly low, not strictly sporting either. Girls glaring, exchanging words after the bell as tempers flare.

Rd 6: Jaime just so quick with that right hand - she's just standing in front of Brandy, threatening to jab her belly, when the right rifles in and down, putting Ledford wobbly butt just-like-that. Brandy's eyes brimming with pain and disappointment - she's had good consistency, but all the big, showy powerpunches have been landed by wiry Pressly. Jaime upping tempo - playfully tapping her jab into Brandy's high guard, just showing her stick upstairs, then DRIVING into breadbasket with heartless left hand thrusts. Pressly scoring, stepping out of range, sliding to the side and menacing Ledford from fresh angles - Jaime as sinewy and lethal on offence pound for pound as any girl in boxing. Brandy turning, guard up, looking like a sullen blonde pillbox as she tries to blunt and block the incoming, unable to get off with anything meaningful.

Rd 7: Jaime continues to harass and confound, working a merciless stick face and body to older girl: Brandy busting up around the eyes, bleeding from the nose, peering back in impotent rage at her tormentress. Jaime so smooth, generating licking leverage with her hips and shoulders as she turns through her shots, shifting weight from foot to foot, prettily turning her back ankle over on follow through. Ledford pelted, poked, stroked and clouted - holding her ground for the most part, but getting steadily reduced. Down the stretch, Pressly with a smoking right hand over Ledford's jab paralyzes Brandy with hurt: Jaime able to wade forward, licking lefts and rights in tight, swatting arcs to Brandy's face to drive Ledford queasy to ropes. Brandy staring, head lolling as back hits ropes - grinning Pressly stalking at the bell.

Rd 8: Jaime still dominant - Brandy stubborn, defiant, digging in and defending herself admirably all things considered. Pressly with skiffing, skidding jab up top just to set up a thrusting jab to Brandy's tits or pouting belly - Ledford's lips tight with protest as those body nibbles are adding up. Upstairs, Pressly boxing Ledford's ears at times, swatting either side of Ledford's head, then picking her up juicy the ringing left uppercut.

Rd 9: Brandy's been trying to time Jaime's right all night long - finally gets it right: Pressly jumps late - Brandy bends inside and kisses an intercepting right off Jaime's chin as Pressly's cross waves harmlessly over top. Jaime's legs suddenly de-boned - she spills into ropes, head giving a sea-sick loll - Pressly barely able to cover up before Ledford gets on her. Brandy hardhearted: veteran knows this is her shot to end it and she comes for Jaime with a vengeance. Brandy pitty-patting up top, just bumping Jaime's forward guard then REEFING hook to flank, digging in savage behind the elbow, bending Pressly forward with a piteous moan. Brandy arching her back to get uppercuts, brushing woozy Pressly back into the ropes, ringing her up, setting Pressly's eyelashes fluttering. Brandy merciless to the tummy, willing to stray into trunk if that's what it takes to get underneath Jaime's elbows. Ledford pounding the shoulders and biceps in tight, doubling and tripling up with either hand - Pressly leaning forward, mindlessly trying to ride it out: Krusher blonde's got grit to go along with the flash as she refuses to give in. Bell - Jaime swaying, badly used, but still serviceable: Ledford chest heaving, mouth breathing hard might have punched herself out.

Rd 10: Good competitive two way - Pressly with enough of the steam taken out of her that she has to stand and trade: Ledford arm weary, unable to hurt Pressly at this point - makes for good exchanges. Girls just working, taking turns, leaning in close with heads and hands, mindlessly tearing up chunks of belly, overhanging jug, innocent rib and tired chin in workmanlike cadence. Bell - both girls exhausted, glaring hotly at the other. Comes back UD10 Pressly.

After: Good rugged contest - Pressly's youth, speed and flashy attacks prevailing, but both women showed well tonight. Jaime a stinging puncher at 120, but unable to lay Ledford on her back the way those right hands probably would have a typical flyweight. Brandy outclassed and outboxed at times, but really working Jaime over in a 10-8 ninth showed she's not to be trifled with - Pressly's conditioning all that prevented the stoppage that round
