Before: Sims on the bubble. Molly one of BLONDE! Magazine’s “brightest stars of 2003”, but setbacks in her last few bouts have many questioning Sims’ own big talk from last year. Rinna a feared heartbreaker--always lurking on the fringes of greatness, a tough, skilled free agent--she’s a bad risk/reward situation for any star. “She’s exactly what I need to re-establish my credibility,” says career-savvy Sims. “We’re both slender, tight lightweights, we’re both quick for the division--this is a great test and beating Rinna really says Molly Sims is for real.” Molly in black bikini, surfer chick bottoms--Lisa in sporty navy top, scoop front, bra style, red athletic bikini (like beach volleyball or triathlon look).

During R1: Sims leggy at the start--she wants this thing to be fought on the outside, darting quick-flicking jabs at Lisa’s face while circling. Rinna patient, dukes, parrying stick, stalking, jabbing to chest to cut off the ring--she’s perfectly capable of playing chess with Molly midring, but wants to force the action inside. After the first minute--Rinna’s got her way, backing Molly to the ropes where cheek-by-jowl slugging erupts. Rinna pressing the pace, rotating her shoulders, thump-thump-thumping lefts and rights brisk off the breadbasket--Simsy slumping forward, hands at her temples, soaking it up. Molly answering back with her own bursts amidships--nice pounding stuff, but Rinna won’t back off. Crowd pleasing back and forth, girls taking turns--Lisa digging in almost exclusively stomach, waist and ribs--Sims picking spots, slashing tight hooks to the ear occasionally in between lathering assaults to the body, Rinna’s fight--she’s imposing her will--Sims competitive, but getting the worst of it.

R2: Similar stuff--first minute, Molly’s trying to use her legs, spread this thing out, keep her distance, but Rinna’s stalking pressure reels blondie in by the 60 second mark Then in it’s tight n’ tasty at close range, neither beauty shying away from the blistering work rate, Sims with her back to the ropes, leaning in head to head with Rinna--not an ideal approach for the Mol, but she’s gritting her teeth and taking her turns, Mol with a slinging, smooth Bronco McKart delivery--pretty to watch. Rinna keeping her elbows in, dipping down and digging into Molly--lots of 3 and 4 punch clusters then laying in with her shoulder and head to smother. Simsy more apt to slash her punches rather than driving into Rinna: that’s the difference--Molly scoring flashy, slapping Lisa around the face, tidying up on her breasts, getting a nice slicing hook under the elbow--but Lisa’s punching is harder, more hurtful. Rinna takes points like she’s snatching food off Molly’s plate this round.

R3,4,5: Molly determined, fighting back, scoring, but it’s Rinna imposing her will and style on this bout, constantly forcing Molly to the ropes and working her over. Rinna’s body work has Simsy visibly wilting by the fourth: Lisa starts chopping at the head clubbing lefts and rights, twisting into tight uppercuts, all shoulder and back--Simsy’s not looking so good. Molly unable to get off the ropes, unable to employ her sleek wheels--all she can do is trade, work hard, and Rinna’s slowly but surely gobbling her up. After 5, body language says it all: Simsy’s shoulders slumped, face lumping up, eyes hollow--Rinna bright, aggressive in her corner during breaks, anxious to get back in her girl and apply the crop.

R6,7: Rinna breaks Molly’s wills these rounds--it’s a breathtaking sight. Sims’ legs giving way, spilling her along the ropes--Lisa staying on her, using jabs and raking hooks gather the blonde back in, then banging away. Lisa heartless to the body--gut wrenching, doubled up rights, dig-digging in, multiple hooks a-raking shoulder, ribs and liver. Sims’ defense getting limp--Rinna’s able to break it down with flurries, then pick up that chin with something serious--Molly not answering back, just sort of swaying, covering up hurt. Corner wants Sims to clinch, but she’s just not processing--Rinna getting in some highlight reel moments as she works Molly over bell to bell. Molly grimacing as she minces to her corner--taut, slender body throbbing and shiny from constant punishment.

R8: Sims busted up and broke-down--hands at her temple, body stooped forward--she stumbles forward as Rinna steps back I good order, walking the blonde into scorching body shots and vicious rip-uppercuts. End of minute one: Rinna steps back, eases Molly onto the left shoulder, nudges her back; right hand thick amidships, another right packed in tonight--Molly stiffens up rigid. Left uppercut swivels in, picking up Molly’s drowsy face, then a coldblooded left hook sweet beneath the elbow--Simsy groaning, folds sick to one knee--Rinna just dropping her hands and walking away all sweaty and confident. Ref counts 10 on a sobbing Molly--Sims just kneeling, weeping, unable to stand--it’s a devastating, systematic KO8 Lisa Rinna.

After: Big, big setback to Molly Sims--she enters the favourite and gets comprehensively dismantled by ruthless Rinna. Lisa’s done it before--girls who try to use her as a stepping stone often catch a beating in the process: Simsy joins those ranks. “She’s not strong enough,” says a very blunt Lisa, “she couldn’t hold me off. Sims can box some girls, but if you cab move and punch, you can wall her off and punish her--that’s what I did, She’s a slick and flashy puncher, the way she turns her body into punches and slices them, but she can’t hit a lick--I knew after the first 3 minutes I’d stop her tonight.”
