MCI Center, Washington DC:

Unbeaten female Laila Ali completely outclassed and outboxed Erin Toughill, winning by third round TKO. The bout was stopped with Ali brutally punishing Toughill on the ropes. Rather than attempt to defend herself, Toughill shelled up and turned her back on her opponent, in a move that has been compared to an MMA tapout. The time of the stoppage was 1:59. Congratulations to Ali, who adds the WBC super middle belt to her collection.

It should be noted that many of the people on the UG who had predicted a Toughill victory quickly changed their tones after the bout. A general theme of mockery has replaced the hero worship that Toughill enjoyed going into the bout.

Laughing at the fallen, embarrassed Toughill, who had spent the better part of the last two years calling her out only to give such a poor accounting of herself, Ali stated, "There's no tapping out in boxing."

Here is an example of Toughill's bravado before the bout:

The fight w/ Ali will happen this year. That dumb bitch is on crack thinking she can't find me. She obviously knows who I am and that's where we start. And if you bet against me just make sure you bet big so you lose all your money :) I'll be fighting @ the end of March so stay tuned. People thought Roy Jones could not be beat. People thought Muhammed Ali could not be beat. People thought Tyson could not be beat. Ali is none of those. It'll be a very good, competitive fight w/ two good female fighters and I wil be winning :) :) :)
