BEFORE: "No British girl is equipped to handle me," Aly shrugs in prefight as if she's recounting the Laws of Thermodynamics. "There's nothing in the gene pool over there that could prepare them for me. First there's the "hotness shock" of seeing me on the scales for the first time - British girls aren't used to my brand of heat. Then there's the fighting, baby - the funky style - all that power and speed in one glorious package...these girls just aren't built to deal with the Full Michalka. Good against Beckinsale won't get it done."

Blunt unfazed by Aly's provocations: pretty Brit a woman on a mission coming off the Dormer set-back. "Once upon a time, British fighters tended to be under-trained, very conventional opponents who weren't fit competition for American starlets," Emily allows at podium. "Those days are over. I'm as well-conditioned as any American girl, and I daresay as well schooled in fighting arts. I'm motivated to stay in the upper-echelon of the bantamweight division, and beating Aly allows me to outflank Dormer to maintain my standing. For Aly, I'm just another import waiting to be beaten. But for me, Aly is a must-have blonde, a must-win fight that keeps Natalie in her place and allows me to retain the strategic initiative. Once you've done the math, you see what she's up against...and it's a lot."

Emily in black bikini; blonde hair in twisty-bun with strands framing face; black gloves. Aly in purple bikini; black gloves; golden ringlets loose and reckless.

During R1: Aly on her toes, hands down around her waist - loose and relaxed as she circles clockwise. Emily dukes up, chin tucked, elbows in, walking Aly down, stepping in a stiff left jab to tits, then hooking off the jab, catching Michalka to chin as Aly's pivoting. Aly jotting the up-jab, parting Emily's mitts, spanking face - Michalka flicking the left hand out with a slick backhand action. Sudden slap-chop right hands from Aly complete the picture, slashing at Emily's face as Blunt doggedly gives chase. Tactical first - Emily trying to establish her hook; Aly's legs winning the points.

R2: Em steps in the stiff poke to tits, quickly turns over a short left hook, thumbside-up across Aly's chin: Michalka spills to her left along ropes, well and truly struck. Blunt scoot-stepping in - jabbing Aly to pate; beating Aly a thumping right/left to waist; bobbing for a hesitation-beat then ROCKING Aly a tidy hook to chin. Michalka sprawling against ropes, lashes fluttering...she staggers to her left, hands up/palms out blocking Emily's follow-on punches then pulling Blunt into the head-and-right-arm clinch. Ref's break frees Aly to lope counterclockwise back to midring: Emily walking Michalka down, hunting the body with roundhouse rights or left hooks, but Aly's getting herself together. Michalka showing her athleticism, chopping nifty one-twos while backpedaling, scoring cleverly upon Emily's face to spoil pursuit. Aly with rising hooks off her hip clouting Emily to jaw, then pivoting-left around the score. Blunt unhurt by this stuff, still aggressively pursuing, but failure to cut the ring off allows Aly's lithe legs to run out the clock.

R3: Aly still bouncy in wide stance, still roaming clockwise, but also setting down a bit more, looking to punch-with. Emily welcoming the contact - jabbing-jug to start; hooking chin, and mixing in the odd hot right cross up top. Aly flinching back on her hips, leaning away from Em's right hands, countering with the hook-and-pivot routine, startling Emily with crafty slap-chop rights that start at Aly's tummy, end on Emily's chin. Blunt's best punch still the hook when she can step inside Aly's flicking jab and catch Michalka before she's out of range, but Aly's ring-command still decisive on judge's cards. Bell: Aly thrills the crowd with a leggy "Aly shuffle" en route to her corner.

R4: Blunt stiff-jabbing to jug, flashing the short right cross, bobbing-then-hooking up out of her crouch, catching Aly to chin as Michalka's rotating clockwise. Aly shaking her head "no", laughing off the clouts - but Emily's getting onto her blonde, using a pounce-step to close, then hooking hard...Michalka taking a good shot as she's wheeling about midring. Blunt deploying the wide right roundhouse low-and-away, hitting Aly in flank or hip, then rising up into her hook...Michalka constantly leaning backwards, trying to avoid Emily's spicy licks. Down the stretch, Emily lands a stout left hook as Aly's backing away...Michalka bouncing into ropes, regrouping, but Emily able to step into a better position, pushing out quickly with both hands, then BELTING that hook: clean, clouting blast to chin swivel's Michalka's head and SENDS HER DOWN! Aly sitting in a puddle of shock, back to ropes, palms on canvas...she's a blinking beauty, trying to figure out what happened as bell sounds to save her.

R5: Aly still loose-limbed, hands down around her waist...she licks and slings supple right uppercuts/swatting left hooks while traveling into south-side ropes. Emily blocking shots all cold-blooded efficiency, stalking her girl laterally. Aly bounces off ropes, looking to lope clockwise: Emily steps-right this time, cutting off the rotation, ushering Aly into north-side ropes. Aly looks to hook cute off the bounce: Emily ducks under the swatting shot, rising up into a CRACKING hook to chin, spilling Aly spellbound to her left along ropes and MICHALKA GOES DOWN! Aly stumbling to knees-and-face, then rolling over her right side onto her back...she's shellshocked, eyes shut, knees up, hands palm-up around her head and it's OVER! KO5 Blunt in shocking fashion as Aly can't get off her back!

After: Stunning victory for Emily Blunt puts her right back in the front rank of bantie contenders; Dormer marking the occasion ringside with a non-plussed smirk, arms crossed in tight disapproval. Emily beaming, face scuffed but glowing with triumph in postfight. "Credit to my trainers and fight-planners tonight," Emily graciously allows, "we had Aly well scouted, and knew the hook was key. She's hard to hit with right hands, but the main challenge is getting range - she's tall, very mobile, but we had the solutions tonight. I'm very satisfied: this is a top win for me, a signal to one and all that I'm serious about claiming an FCBA championship!"
