"I can't wait to punch Carmella De-cheesy out!" Jaime chirps, reacting to prefight hype suggesting Decesare's had Pressly in her sights for some time. "There's no way this kid belongs in the same ring as me - for her to be calling me out like this is suicide. Been a long time since I've really unleashed on a chick in a boxing ring, but Carmella's got something special coming." Decesare stepping up in class, but that's been the HMK way of late. Carmella elaborates: "I know Jaime's the top of the food chain below 120," Decesare admits, "but that's exactly why I want this fight. People have been gossiping that I'm choked about Scarlett getting a title shot and winning it before I did - but if anything, I'm INSPIRED by her, not jealous-of. I'm not going to play it safe when Scarlett's ripping the belts off Eva's waist, then turning around and defending them against DANI FISHEL of all people. Jaime better get used to me, because I'm here to stay and eventually, I don't see there being enough room in the FCBA for both of us!" Pressly in silver bikini, small black work out gloves. Carmella in punching pink bikini, white-belted bottoms, small black work out gloves. During ring instructions - Jaime actually growls: "Don't you make eye contact with me, girl," prompting referee intervention as Decesare won't back down or show deference.

Rd 1: Carmella: closed stance, left shoulder pointed at JP, left hand dangling low, right fist cocked beneath the chin. Pressly: forward stance - weight over the front (left) foot - hands loose, left at her hip, right at her chest. Decesare creep-stepping right, bending at the waist - all about slipping Jaime's right hands, rolling blonde jabs. Jaime feinting, looking to lead cobra-tongue rights and follow-up hooks - leaning back, then swaying forward to change distance. Sporadic contact, but Decesare getting all the touches - her silky defence and sly counterclockwise rotation causing Jaime to over-reach - brunette timing gorgeous straight hands and lashing hooks off the slip to clout Pressly's mouth with authority for a potshotting, shutout first.

Rd 2: Same postures/looks - both girls sinewy, athletic, using the ring. Decesare bending low in her closed stance, edging into Jaime and shouldering her off with the left arm; bending at the waist, rolling shots. Pressly more dynamic, leading rights, clawing lefts, then briskly sidestepping to turn Carmy's left flank. Decesare getting scuffed up - Jaime's nipping, darting punches more accurate, timing better in the first as blonde refigures her geometry in the second.

Rd 3: Jaime pressing the action - still darting in and out, leaning forward and back, leading sneaky right hands, mopping up hooks. Pressly wrong-foots Carmella early, influencing Decesare out of her closed stance: blonde takes the opportunity to put a vigorous chamois wipe on Decesare's award-winning rack, flurrying brunette to ropes. Carmella teeth-bared, frowning - Pressly's handspeed in combination about the best division has to offer - Decesare having trouble reading/reacting with any mustard. Another sporadic round of stalking, feinting - sudden bursts of productivity followed by long stretches of picturesque manoeuvre.

Rd 4: Jaime settling in - she's working at a comfy tempo, dictating the minutes, darting in and out, constantly harassing Carmella and keeping her under threat. Decesare doing a good job with that shoulder roll - not a lot of clean Pressly connects - Decesare looking very professional as she slide-steps around, lures Jaime in, ducks under Pressly's punching, puts the left shoulder into Jaime's tummy and eases her back on out. Not a lot of sharp contact, but Pressly's winning the rounds - HMK corner telling Carmella: "Baby, I need you to be jabbing - don't let her jump in on you like that. And right hands baby - she's coming in naked: you test that chin of hers, you hear?"

Rd 5: Carmella responding wonderfully to instruction: very coachable girl doing exactly as suggested. Nice firm up-jab off the hip - not always landing, but right away Pressly can't just dart in with lead rights. Slidestepping away and to the right walks Jaime in - Carmella turning on her hips, timing Pressly with right hands out of the closed stance, pre-empting the quicker blonde with sheer guile and judgement. Jaime not hurt, but rebuked and disrupted - she's sent frowning, shutout to her corner as Decesare proves a supple boxer in the fifth.

Rd 6: Jaime judging distance nicely - just nipping Carm with cute hesitation right hands off the front (lead) foot, hopping to the right to claw the come-along hook against Carmella's pate. Hooks finding Decesare's breasts and stomach - and Jaime's looping a wide, sidearm right into the small of Carmy's back, spanking it in snug against the curve just above the buttock. Decesare wincing, stepping away, glancing frostily at the ref: you can't punch a girl in the base of her spine. Pressly also starting to body-snatch a bit - stooping, reaching the jab into firm, flat Playmate tummy, then scoot-stepping away from receipts. Bell: Jaime smiling, strutting to her corner - she tells trainer - "I've got this thing," upon arrival at her stool.

Rd 7: Jaime dictating, penetrating with darting attacks, moving in and out, jumping to the right to come up behind Carmella's closed stance. Decesare scowling - she's not getting hit much - doing a very nice job defensively - but she just can't get her gloves on Jaime. Decesare late with counters, jabbing at the wrong times - brunette obviously spooked by the lightning attacks and flanking manouevres of the veteran blonde. Bright spot for Carmella sees her lead a straight right hand square to the breasts of her opponent: Jaime answering immediately with a cuffing, buffetting brace of lefts and rights upside the head, getting the better of the trade.

Rd 8: Carmella working SO hard - trying to backhand her jab up and out, trying to time Jaime for right hands coming in - but Pressly just too damn quick and practiced. Pressly victimizing Carmella's jab by slipping inside it and answering simaltaneous hooks on the mouth - Decesare buffetted out of her stance, sent reeling off the dramatic clouts. Pressly's body-jabbing giving way to more muscular flurries to the ribs and tummy - often cashing in on jug with a saucy swipe from either hand. Jaime taunting, dropping her hands, bending forward and leering her face at Carmella: Decesare tentative, wanting badly to smite that face, but knowing it's a trap. More Pressly points - Carmella getting dinged and nicked - still to be badly hurt as Jaime plays the percentages through 8.

Rd 9: Carmella creep-stepping right, flopping out the upjab off her hip, baits Jaime in and times her beautifully for that greasy right hand out of the screen. Pressly NAILED jumping in - her own right sailing over top and she CORKSCREWS INTO THE MAT! Blonde sprawling picturesque on her back, face contorted in pain - Carmella jogs to neutral corner, heart POUNDING in her chest at the sudden opportunity. Pressly fights off the hurt, rallies for 8, but she's shabby - brunette comes for blonde as Jaime digs in wounded at the ropes. LASHING BEATDOWN! Carmella all sinewy and sleek - left hand on her thigh as she probes Jaime's guard with a pushy right, then LICKING the left hook up and across to drape Jaime backwards. Carm leaning in close, lugging the right hand wide to Jaime's ear, then dipping right to pull the left up off the hip and around to clap Jaime's face. Supple right uppercuts carved through the middle - Carmella arching her back and licking the shot to Jaime's chin, picking the blonde up hard and rocking her against the ropes again. Glorious, stroking hooks - weight on the front foot, hips popping sweet to the right to power those babies through - Carmella just getting gorgeous lanky wallop out of her whippet-wiry frame. Down the stretch, it's all too much - Jaime face-in-gloves, wearily bending forward, leaning back - she wilts to all fours, panting from punishment as the ref pushes seething Carmella back. Decesare's dark eyes BLAZING, chest heaving - she's just put up a 10-7 9th to come ROARING back on the cards.

Rd 10: Girls trade zippy lead right hands, comeback with hooks and DOWN GOES CARMELLA! Jaime tucking her shoulder in behind the sweetest of tight, tidy hooks - torquing her wiry frame into the shot - Decesare CLOUTED with head-swivelling force, swooning to her back all stretched out and it's OVER! Heartbreaking KO10 - Jaime Pressly screeching down at sleeping beauty - bundled back by the ref before any shenanigans can result.

After: HEARTBREAK! Decesare's fans groaning in shock - Carmella boxing and slugging so well tonight, but finally going all-in with Jaime and getting caught by the quick-mitted blonde just before the finish line. Picture-perfect hook positively regal, beating Decesare's own hook by a fraction of a second and sprawling the dazzling young Playmate in cover-worthy fashion. "I told you she was a chump," says a bleary-eyed Pressly, still feeling the effects of her own near-disaster in the 9th. "I toyed with the kid - I gave her some rounds to work with - carried her as long as I could - but she was NEVER going to finish this fight. I just switched her off (snaps fingers) like THAT!" Carmella brought slowly around and tended to on her stool: she's crestfallen at having come SO CLOSE tonight. And Daniel Triumphant!
