LIU/CARTER - Liu guilty of aggressive over-reach, trying to burn Foxfire for 2 consecutive losses. KO6 via Sarah's right hand and sizzling set-up combinations puts Lucy in check.

Song/Kreuk - Krissy's skill vs Bren's unorthodox power...Song would enjoy the balance of trade on this night, issuing a particularly savage drubbing in the 10th to salt away this decision. Kreuk showed wiry toughness to go along with her guile however, taking Bren's worst and possibly setting up a rivalry-to-watch for the future.

Michalka/Shay Mitchell - Shay Mitchell stepping up in class along with the rest of the PLP, taking on the cream of the bantamweight division. AJ would win the UD10, but this was a hard-knocks affair - plenty of big-bantie toe to toe and life or death exchanges. Mitchell proved she belonged, battering Michalka to her knees to nearly pull off the 10th round miracle come-back.

Olsen/Nikki Scherzinger - Nikki unleashes her most vicious punching since doing-down Jessica Alba. It was a harder, nastier Scherzinger than we've seen, employing fouls and merciless aggression in lashing Lizzie into the KO9 stoppage.

Danes/Hewitt - 1 point decision goes to Claire, telling you what kind of back-and-forth battle for supremacy this was. Jen knew what she had to do - take Claire to ropes and maul her. Just a bit more mauling and Hewitt would have had the upset. Danes showed she's not just a mid-ring sorceress: plenty of shoulder-to-shoulder exchanges proves Claire's a solid presence at bantam.

Markle/Morrison - For 3 minutes, it looked like Markle/Bellisario 2, with Megan overwhelming Jen to the body, dropping blonde-girl twice in a romping first. Morrison proved a gritty pro however - boxing her way back to par, then closing the show in the third on a demoralized Meghan with roughhouse right hands out of the wrap. TKO3's the verdict: Markle needs to manage energy if she's going to be a 10 round fighter.

Jaimie Alexander/Paulina Gretzky - Fans of Gretzky's youtube channel are used to seeing the juggy young blonde slugging starlets senseless from the mount on various beaches...but this would be a different venue altogether. Despite roaring out of the gate and nearly finishing Jaimie in the first, Paulina would falter, and in the fifth, a grimly determined Alexander would stalk her blonde, hooking Gretz to sleep for the KO.

Underwood/Shakira - Everyone knew what to expect from Shakira: boundless energy and forward-thrust until either she or her foe was vanquished. The mystery was Underwood. Would she emerge from a lengthy re-tooling lay-off much improved, or same-same? Evidence suggests that Carrie's a more professional product now than she was - managing Shakira's blitz with deft hook-and-pivot footwork, and proving a tidy, if not overpowering puncher. UD10 Underwood well-deserved...should be an interesting 2014 for Carrie 2.0.

Holt/Bennet - Give Bennet credit: she didn't want to be babied, and got right in with one of the hottest hands in the division in Claire Holt. All even through 8, Holt would pull away over the championship rounds to hammer out the UD10, but it was a fight that left both girls stunned and bruised in the aftermath. Chloe proved she belongs; Holt showed undiminished momentum in chalking up another beautiful victim.

Wilkinson/Seyfried - Wind 'em up and let 'em sock. Punches flew for 6 minutes, and when the dust settled, Seyfried was asleep, and Kendra was crowing. KO2 KDub.

Munn/Macadams TITLEBOUT - Rachel proved a Foxfire blue-chipper, drawing on years of class and sturdiness to bully the bully in this one, leaving Munn a KO8 former champion with a breathtaking finishing flurry at the ropes.

Britney/Vandervoort - Spears showed tactical flexibility, coming forward rather than lying back on the ropes; roll-countering Laura heavy right hands; taking Laura to ropes and working her over at every opportunity. Didn't come cheap - Laura dropped Brit in the sixth and had Spears hurt - but Britney kept her cool, executed her plan and took the UD10 to the pay-window.

Brittany Snow/Lucy Hale - Breakout performance for Hale sees her hound a well regarded veteran into extinction. Hale working from the wrap like a little bully, punching right hands into Snow for the TKO6 romping win.

Fox/Shahi - Dressed like fighters from the 1920s, these two whippets would put on an old fashioned, throwback slugfest to the delight of the crowd. A slow start from Shahi saw her get dropped and battered in the first, but Sarah would rally to hold-and-hit Fox to sleep in the 9th. The girls were grabby with their small mitts, drawing a constant stream of warnings, but any ill-will was dispelled in a display of post-match class from the champion.

Dunst/Agron - Dunst has to feel like she's been carjacked - set up and taken out by a very shrewd Dianna Agron who won the fight, and took Kirsten's Rampant roster-spot in the bargain. It was another fight in which sleek, well-schooled boxers tended to dig out close, hard-fought points in the trenches. A close UD10 verdict would expose Dunst to a heinous post-fight stable-ejection slap-down masterminded by Natalie Dormer - a girl who has yet to suffer any sanctions for her increasingly sharp practices.

Dormer/Bellisario - A huge show-me fight for Troian coming off the most humiliating loss of her career. Bellisario would show the colours of a gritty, hardnosed brunette - going at Dormer with aggression from the outset; shaking off low blows and depositing her own; pursuing Natalie to ropes and showing extreme killer-instinct in finishing the fight TKO3. A post-fight forget-me-not elbow plunged into Natalie's tummy punctuated a very satisfying night for young Troian.

Wagner/Yustman - A strong start for Wagner faded in the face of Odette's tireless fitness. UD10 Yustman with a strong finishing round as it was all Odette late.

Bloodgood/Cassidy Freeman - Time runs out for Moon as she had Cassidy loose and ready to go in the 10th. UD10 goes to Cassidy, but there's little to choose between these two, and more to come. Amanda Righetti provided ringside commentary, heaping praise upon both fighters for providing some of the best action of the night.

Beckinsale/Alba - Beckinsale finally showing signs of age...Jessica able to impose will via a savage body-whipping to secure the KO5 win.

Portman/Johannson - Natalie with her back to the wall upped-tempo to outwork Scarlett UD10. Hard feelings in the aftermath: Portman rubbing Johannson's face in the loss a bit.

Bowden/Lively - Lively the proverbial "girl with a curl" who proved very good on this occasion, battering beautiful newcomer Bowden into KO3 defeat. Blake set to attend a compliance meeting at the FCBA standards-and-practices office, due to perceived "overkill" on a helpless opponent, when Lively propped unconscious Katrina up to feed her extra right hands for the finish.

Theron/Arterton - Arterton's a big strong brunette - just the way CT likes 'em, but after 13 rounds of overtime boxing, it was the golden legs of Charlize giving way twice to hand Gemma a bruising UD13 victory.

Blunt/Kelly Carlson - Blunt secures Alpha status at Rampant with a masterful, precision-punching KO2 battering of lovely Kelly Carlson, but a 2013 loss against rival Natalie Dormer has many pundits wondering if Emily has some cleaning up to do.

Rachel Nichols/Yvonne strahovski TITLE BOUT - Accused of being "soft on Foxfire" in some quarters, Yvonne Strahovski got hardnosed indeed, handing talented Rachel Nichols a devastating UD10 loss en-route to wrenching the title away from the redhead. Masterful stuff, punctuated by a shutout 10th that saw Yvonne have her way with one of the pound for pound best fighters in boxing.

Bilson/Meester - Shocking upset as lithe little Rachel steps into bigger Leighton and lathers her senseless for the TKO1 stop.

Vaugier/Holly Valance - Vaugier's made a career of beating up bigger women, but Holly's a slick stylist in her own right and had the answers on the night. Right to the body/left to the head had Emmanuelle wobbly butt at the ropes: clean up right hands did the rest as Holly records a KO10 in the final moments.
