BEFORE: Scarlett playing split-the-middle with the Lookout tandem of Minka and Elisha...Johannson looking to use that epic rivalry to her own best advantage. "Lookout bantams're tuff," Scarlett acknowledges in prefight. "Stocky girls, very strong legs - similar to Jennifer Love Hewitt in a lot of ways. Minka's a little bit better boxer I think; Elisha's a bit more unpredictable...very little to choose between them. It's a fertile hunting ground, I mean, Minka alone is a proud girl - a former World's Sexiest...it'll be very interesting to see if I can break her spirit a bit!"

Minka excited at the chance to claim a big name. "We know Scarlett's moving against me largely because she thinks I'm pre-occupied with Elisha, but that's a mistake," Minka warns at podium. "Cuthbert's contained, I have her under control, and I've been looking for another opponent to take me to the next level. Scarlett's totally that girl: skilled, beautiful, a huge celebrity...she's going to make a nice trinket for me!"

Minka in electric blue bikini top/canary yellow bottoms; small white gloves; light brown hair in high pony with bangs bracketing cheeks. Scarlett in charcoal Dr. No style bikini; small black gloves; short copper curls a'la Avengers.

During R1: Scarlett quickly sliding into southpaw-advantage position: her right side hinging against Minka's left; counterclockwise rotation as Scarlett keeps her lead (right) foot outside Minka's lead (left). Kelly frowning with confrontation - hasn't had a ton of experience with southpaw looks...she's tentative, batting her left hand against Scarlett's right, playing red-head's game. Johannson happy to play patty-cake for a bit, then shooting that sneaky left hand through to Minka's left breast, or poking it to mouth - Johannson quickly recovering with a tight right hook, nipping Minka's left temple, then bobbing on the spot to slip Minka's receipts. Cutie-pie pivots complete the routine for Scarlett...she's sliding round Minka's left flank, turning Kelly midring...Minka flustered, trying to poke her lead right with mixed results in a Johannson first.

R2: Minka makes adjustments like a little champ, giving Scarlett problems this round. Kelly steppin' strong to her girl, shooting the lead right - she's punching at Scarlett's face, turning redhead to her left as she's bobbing/backing out. Little step clockwise puts Minka almost behind Scarlett - brunette fighting off redhead right hip/buttock, slugging from angles. Johannson has to scoot or take punches...Minka spitting jabs in pursuit, always rotating clockwise, keeping her lead (left) foot outside Scarlett's lead (right) foot, leading to good angles for Minka/awkward angles for Johannson. Scarlett hard to tag flush, but she's taking a number of right hands on right side of her face; suffering clubbing hooks in between her shoulderblades...ref issuing warnings to Minka for back-punching, but it's simply a result of Scarlett's own orientation and movement.

R3: Minka shooting lead rights; Scarlett triggering lead lefts as girls lunge in and out on one another midring. Not much contact with the power-leads, but girls settling into the "southpaw hinge" - Scarlett's right shoulder fronting on Minka's left. Good angle for Johannson...she starts sliding to her right, turning Minka counter-clockwise...Kelly shifting, taking Scarlett's left on left side of face; taking right hooks on left temple. Edging in close, Scarlett flips the outside-in right uppercut to chin - she's in shoulder-to-shoulder when she scores, crowding and bumping...Minka's off balance, unable to response. Scarlett jams the short left to left side of Minka's face; catches Minka an extra right uppercut; pivots counterclockwise, hooking Minka's left kidney with the right hand. POOR KELLY! Minka grimacing, getting touched up...she's turning, trying to get square, but Scarlett's too cute - standing so close, yet so far away - shoulder-to-shoulder, but just exactly where Minka can't get her. Maddening stuff - Scarlett deploying both her hands in tight chops and swats, putting Minka wobbly-butt, turning her, vexing her. Bell: snarky smile, Scarlett, lock of red hair playfully obscuring left eye; Minka frazzled, blinking; camera catches Elisha pursing her lips in disgust at Minka dropping a shutout heat to Scarlett.

R4: Minka wants to step-in and ram Scarlett that lead right hand...it's just not happening. Johannson's exquisite footwork completely in charge of Minka...redhead sliding into the southpaw hinge - left hand under the chin/right hand slightly outfront - Scarlett using that lead right elbow/shoulder to bump and steer her girl counter-clockwise. Defensively, Scarlett just too slick - standing in close to Minka but bobbing on the spot, pivoting around brunette left flank, keeping Kelly off balance. Offensively, Scarlett lighting Minka up: wicked outside-in right uppercuts catching Minka's chin again and again; short, stubby lefts to Minka's left cheek; biting right hooks chopping in above Minka's left hip. It's all too much - Scarlett turning Minka, picking her apart - pesky, tapping shots setting up wicked, hurtful licks...MINKA GOES DOWN! Kelly finally sputtering out of orbit, clattering back on her heels, before sitting groggily down back-to-ropes. Brunette astonished, blinking, mouth open as she tries to push up off her buns. Scarlett batting mitts together, happy in her work through 4.

R5: The heart of Minka Kelly! Badly outclassed for a couple of rounds, brunette gets after her redhead like a champ this round. Downward chopping left jab doesn't land for Minka, but it prevents Scarlett from sidestepping counter-clockwise...follow-on straight rights smite at Scarlett's right cheek thereafter, putting her on the defensive. Patient step-and-punch very authoritative for Minka...Scarlett forced to slide all the way out, then hop to her left - Minka imposing clockwise movement as a result. Kelly able to place the lead right head and rack...spanking Scarlett around the ring, walking her down. Down the stretch, Scarlett squaring up, forced to fight pate-on-pate with hard-working Minka: Kelly just chugging mitts to tummy/ribs hup-hup-hup, scoring well with a girl standing right in front of her. BELL: Minka upbeat, smiling for the first time en route to her corner.

R6: Minka with another minute of pressure, then wheels fall off the Kelly apple-cart. Scarlett working the southpaw-hinge to perfection from end of first-minute on...the tightly-turned punches from close range, the cutie-pie movement, the bobbing head. Minka cringing from tearing right hands above left hip; Minka's head flopping back from the outside-in right uppercut she can't see; Minka's knees buckling as Scarlett jams tidy lefts to left side of brunette head. Minka down in minute two - up quickly, but rattled. Minka down again in minute 3, and THAT has her lower lip quivering, eyes welling up...lovely brunette starting to get discouraged as heartless redhead really pouring on the class through 6.

R7: Minka recovers composure, but she's still in a jackpot: Scarlett setting up on Kelly's left shoulder, turning her counterclockwise, chipping away at her. Scarlett no longer trying for knockout - Minka's legs/resilience have proved themselves...redhead's just fighting to manage her girl to finish line. Kelly traipsing after Scarlett, never quite in position to land the straight right with authority; missing over the top with her left hook vs Johannson's clever bobbing.

R8: Same again - Minka working hard, competing, but Scarlett working sweet angles, dictating the points. Johannson placing a short left hand onto left side of Minka's chin while looping redhead right arm over brunette left...Scarlett snuggling in on Minka's left side, smothering brunette until ref's break. SO frustrating for Kelly...she wants to square up and bang it out and Scarlett just won't let it happen.

R9: Scarlett owning Minka with that sneaky left to chin/right arm wrap over Minka's left - redhead snuggled into her brunette, safe after scoring. Scarlett smiling in the grasp - Minka frowning...both girls know Johannson's effectively gobbling up the clock. Scarlett so clever inside - her right arm over-wrapping Minka's left; face in tight to Minka's left shoulder; left hand at Minka's neck, the forearm trailing down across Minka's left breast so Scarlett can push and nudge for control, or punch extra little nuisance-lefts into Minka's face! Scarlett walking Minka into ropes, bumping and vexing...Kelly just can't get her way. Bell: Scarlett checks a left hand ticketed for Minka's chin, swats a right on Minka's rump instead as girls part for respective corners. Minka arriving at her stool, suddenly shouts "SHOOT!" frowning like she's just struck out on 3 straight knuckleballs.

R10: Minka landing a couple of straight right hand leads...Scarlett unhurt, but persuaded to get on her bicycle...redhead leads her brunette a merry chase this round as Kelly's forced to gamble for victory. Minka needs the knockout...she's lunging for Scarlett, leaping into hooks, straining for right hands. Johannson running, giving away points for time and canvas...she has no intention of engaging. That's it - Minka can't trap clever Scarlett; Johannson runs the clock, lifts her mitts at bell, and waltzes away with a crafty UD10.

AFter: Minka heartbroken: Scarlett chatting with the brunette afterwards, giving her an encouraging pat on the rump and talking her through a tough experience tonight. "I really got into her head tonight," Scarlett smiles all breezy in postfight. "She just couldn't get set against me - never really threatened me. You know, I tested her legs, knocked her down a few times, but Minka's a very sturdy girl. I could see she just wasn't ready to go, so I had to dial it back and finesse her to the finish line. Feels great - anytime you can discourage a strong-willed, beautiful opponent in the ring, it gives you a boost!" Elisha absolutely SHREDDING Minka's performance on twitter, calling Kelly "an embarrassment", "weak-willed", "soft" - and worse! Whenever one of those girls loses, the other picks at her without mercy.
