BEFORE: Julianne Hough's been fighting with elite form: this fight designed to see if she's actually an elite fighter. "To me, I was elite the moment I got my first FCBA fight," Hough breezes in prefight. "You look at Bell - recent champion, terrific fighter...I'm better than her in every metric. I'm realistic though: you guys need to see me pummeling her senseless before you'll give me my due, and I'm fine with that. One Bell-shaped heap of rubble, coming up!"

KBell not amused...Kristen enjoying something of a career renaissance in and out of the ring...she has no time for upstarts. "Hough needs to know where the ceiling is," Kristen says frostily at podium. "She's too cocky - dancers always are. Well, there's a reason most of us stock our sparring cupboards full of dancers: they last a long time while you're beating them down - you can really work up a sweat without taking much in return. Expect Hough to compete - and suffer - while I show her what this game's all about!"

Hough in red bikini from her last movie; short blonde fighting tousle; small red gloves. Kristen in baby blue bikini with quilted texture; small white gloves; hair in world's scrappiest ponytail with devil-may-care bangs.

During R1: Hot-tossing two-way as Hough elects to step inside and swap with former champ! Active, bobbing stances as girls dip underneath one another, dig up the body PIK! PAK! PEK! then form earmuff as the other girl has a go in kind. Fighter's jab as they step around, then it's back in with the tuff hook to breadbasket underneath; the chopping head punches in combination; the extra left hooks in batting succession to flank. Withering stuff taken well by both women...down the stretch, Bell finally separates when a flashy hook across the mouth startles Juli just long enough for Kristen to pump her tummy left/right. Hough gasps, clinches wincing, loses the round as a result.

R2: Hough took Bell's temperature inside last round: now Juli's on her toes, bippin' and boppin' about outside, darting in with flashing fists, escaping to either side. Bell duck-and-covers as Hough's making her strafing runs...Kris pelted, then answering late, unable to counter the tempo early. Blistering stuff starts to overwhelm KBell midring...she retreats to ropes, increasingly defensive as grinnin' Juli Hough hops after her all springy and lithe. Hough prepping with the jab in Kristen's guard, then tearing at her in flurries: wicked right hands taking Bell wide to leftside ribs; swift left/rights punching apart the guard; chopping rights penetrating, scoring on Krissy's face. DIGGING left hooks up under right breast hurt Krissy - Hough scooping at her blonde with the palm-up chop, bringing the mitt back quick to Juli's chest on follow through. Bell shaken repeatedly - forced to bail - sliding along the ropes with a pained grimace as Hough walks her down. Juli darting in and out, pouring on the hurt...Bell bobbing sadly, showing either earmuff or crossed-arms with back of right hand at left cheek/left hand tucked into right armpit, just weathering the storm. Late the round, it's all too much...Bell wearing down under the constant pelting rain...she bounces rump-off-ropes in earmuff, then drops to all fours, panting and shellshocked as Juli spins away yelping with delight. 10-8 Hough - dancer sends iconic blonde to corner with a dazed, punished expression through 2.

R3: Both girls boppin' on their toes, but Juli's attacking, Kristen's evading. Wide-ranging action circles the ring, bounces off the ropes as Hough scatters Bell. Krissy looking harrassed - she's quick enough to disengage, but she can't shake pursuit: Hough cutting off the ring, batting away tic-tac-toe, then giving merry chase as Kristen runs. Round ends to the sight of Bell sitting in ropes, stooping forward in earmuff while Hough pumps tummy hup-hup-hup, pushing on Kristen's guard to reset. Juli just grinning, working Bell over, then hopping away all youthful exuberance while Krissy slumps grumpy in ropes at break.

R4: Another round, another shutout for Julianne Hough - her legs dictating position, fists busy about the body of her foe, chopping hooks and right hands behind either protective elbow. Juli edging in with left shoulder, bumping into Krissy's guard while pivoting counterclockwise - she's turning Krissy, then strapping hooks thick to waistline. Bell trying to counter-pounce and engage midring, but it's not working: Hough too agile - dancing back from pressure, then darting in - rapid-fire batting combinations dousing Bell, forcing her to cover up. Julianne using the jab when she's pivoting off Krissy, just keeping Bell covered up - then it's in with the power - Hough pouncing, getting off robusto. Bell defending well in spots, getting lit up in others...she's busting up, looking discouraged, getting outboxed through 4. Hough full of sass after the bell - hands on hips, cocking head to one side, chirping: "Are you hurt? 'Cause you look hurt. Maybe you should lie down."

R5: Bell changes tactics, trailing a broken wing to lure Julianne to ropes...Hough happily obliges, hopping-to to administer finishing touches. It's an act...Bell comes alive in the pocket, fighting bitterly off the ropes, catching Hough again and again with little whirling counter-flurries, then covering up on either side. Juli sputtering, getting pasted - she's pot-committed, but encountering blistering resistance. Bell snarling, punching savagely when she gets off...midway through she slashes a right uppercut to Juli's chin; hooks Juli's chin and SITS JULI DOWN! Hough on buns-and-elbows, staring bleakly up in wonder as Bell's seething down...Kristen turns the tide with trademark handspeed, finally getting into her foe's legs.

R6: Juli bouncing on her toes, making a series of false-charges, then circling to her left, turning Bell midring. Kristen wary, dukes up, but measuring Juli with extended lefts: Bell wants to time her girl for a chopping overhand right. Hough dealing the odd straight right hand lead while she's wheeling clockwise, popping Krissy in the mouth: Bell triggering her overhand right a shade late in response. Minute mark - Hough steps in, ducks under Bell's right, straightens up into the world's shortest left hook - basically jumping into Krissy Bell's chin. DOWN GOES BELL! Kristen taking 100% of Juli on the button - head swiveling violently as legs stiffen, butt goes back, sending Bell crashing to her back, hands up above her head. It's over: Kristen Bell out cold as December, lips parted, eyelashes fluttering like hummingbird's wings. KO6 Julianne Hough in here-I-am fashion.

After: Hough grinning like a champ, accepting fawning praise from her entourage: it's the biggest win of Julianne's career, but she's downplaying the impact. "Beating Krissy Bell doesn't make me elite," Julianne says in postfight, "it CONFIRMS me as elite. I was the better woman coming in, and I'm damn sure the better woman going out. I'm flyweight-division 2.0: there's never been a woman with my blend of skill, speed, youth, looks, and marketability. Kristen Bell's what the division elite USED to look like: now it's just rubble at my feet. Sorry girls: it's the Julianne Hough era, and it's gonna stay that way for about 10 more years!"
