Before: Tyra trying to punk Torrie in preflight, glaring at the blonde from the podium, addressing her directly. “There’s only one true supermodel in the FCBA and you’re looking at her. What’re you supposed to be? A super cheese? Baby LOOK at me when I’m b###hslapping you! You Won’t last 3 rounds Torrie--you won’t last 3.” Wilson the polite southern girl, a little taken aback by the spite, but keeping her cool--she’ll let her fists do her talking. Tyra in lavender push up bra, leopard print bottoms,. slick ponytail, Torrie in baby blue push up, boy cut panties.

During R1: Banks’ lips curled back in a b###hy snarl,. Right hand at her cheek--she turns her hips and starts lavishing Torrie’s hulking jugs hook right at the open, Torrie joins in-- big girls going at each other’s tits like a couple of meanspirited bantams early. Tyra started it, but she doesn’t like it--Banks edges out, catches a long where-you-going? Right hand on the mouth as Torrie steps with. Wilson hounding Tyra, blonde with her dukes up, eyes intent--where Tyra’s all lank and slinging power--Torrie tends to be straighter, choppier, just dropping punches out of her guard onto Tyra’s chest and face. Efficiency prevails--Banks constantly beaten to the punch--Wilson staying disciplined getting the touches, knocking Tyra backwards at the bell.

R2: Banks using the up-jab off her hip, graceful, slinky--really snapping it out there, but she’s bringing it back low--Torrie showing good maturity by keeping her hands nice and high, blocking stick, leaning in and dropping right hands onto Tyra’s cheek in receipt. As they get into it--Banks get sloppy, riding her left on her thigh to drive home right hands, dropping the right as she pulls swinging hooks around. Midway through, Torrie slips a sizzling Banks KO right cross, both girls come back with tidy hooks, but Wilson’s finds chin and TYRA’S HURT! Banks loooong legs spasm and shake--she walks away rubbery as Wilson stalks after her, blonde chasing brunette to the ropes. Final minute good, solid clean-up--Wilson squared away, going strong at her girl, nice compact rights and lefts chopping down or pushing straight into Tyra, hammering past the wilting guard. Banks forlorn at the bell, shook this round, beat up--she’s shiny and rib-shot after 2.

R3: Banks back with that classy Hearns jab off the hip, sliding back and away after delivery, showing good respect for Torrie’s unexpectedly quick right mitt. Best ring generalship of the fight from banks so far, using her long legs to circle, sometimes stomp-feinting Wilson, then sliding away, spotting the left hand to belly, breast and face as blonde pursues but doesn’t cut off the ring. Final minute, Tyra plants and swings and EVERYTHING comes apart. Torrie beats Tyra to right hands as both girls lean in--Wilson ducking down and in on follow through--Banks corkscrewing, right knee touching down as her punch sails. Woozy 8--then Torrie presses in, chin tucked, hands up--she rides her forearms up on hurting supermodel, shoving Tyra ropeside, dipping and digging with jerky-pump lefts and rights amidships, then using brawny left shoulder-bumps to rock Tyra back, checking chin hooks and curling right hands, TYRA SWOONS TO ALL FOURS! Tyra down again, eyes hollow--she’s getting taken apart at this point, just trying to get to the finish line. Final moments--Torrie wading in and NAILING Tyra a lead right hand across the mouth--Banks tilting, head lolling--she rides a limp left arm over Torrie’s shoulder, semi-consciously trying to smother, but the blonde won’t have it, Bruising romp Wilson to Banks--Torrie just rotating her shoulders, digging into the lungs, coming up jagged to the chin--nothing back from Banks and THE REF STEPS IN! Juicy TKO3 from the ever-surprising Torrie Wilson.

After; Wilson a polite southern girl at the podium, but saucy in victory--she treats supermodel to a walk of shame, Tyra all gooey and stupefied as she’s shown all four corners at a slow strut. Banks with that whip-slinging power delivery the harder one-punch hitter--especially from the right side--but not accurate tonight--Wilson able to land cleaner, make more of her punches and take advantage of Tyra’s suspect chin. Wilson showing improved ring sensibility--moving her head, getting her range, her fight on Tyra and taking a strong middleweight apart tonight--Torrie just won’t go away at 140.
