Less than 24 hours earlier, Jennifer Dooley was sobbing uncontrollably as she watched her fiance Ricky Hatton being knocked out cold during his fight with Filipino Manny Pacquiao.
But after the boxer was given the all-clear following hospital treatment, the couple decided to make the most of their time in Las Vegas and indulge in a spot of sunworshipping on Sunday.
While Ricky may have lost the Light Welterweight Fight, the 30-year-old can console himself with having a stunning girlfriend, who turned heads in a skimpy black bikini yesterday.

Model figure: Jennifer showed off her toned physique in a black bikini and slingback wedges at a pool party yesterday
Former college lecturer Jennifer, 30, showed off her tanned and toned figure at a pool party at the MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas - the same resort where Ricky fought Manny hours earlier.
The former brunette beauty is now a blonde after dying her hair earlier this year and appears to enjoy the sun giving her a golden tan, in contrast to her famously pasty partner.
At first Jennifer covered up slightly with a patterned sarong around her waist, but joker Ricky soon decided it looked better on his head.

R&R: Jennifer was clearly relaxed on Sunday after a stressful Saturday
The couple were joined by friends and family, including Ricky's parents Ray and Carol, his brother Matthew and his girlfriend Jenna Coyne - who was photographed comforting an anguished Jennifer ringside the night before.
Jennifer, who has lived with Ricky for four years, will no doubt be talking to Ricky about his future in boxing after he received calls to quit following his devastating defeat.
She admits she gets incredibly 'emotional' in the run-up to a big match and always fears for his health.
The couple have known each other since they were five years old, but started dating around five years ago when they were reintroduced to each other by Jenna.

Jennifer famously quit her job at Manchester College of Art and Technology to support Hatton ahead of his only previous defeat to Floyd Mayweather in December 2007 when her employers wouldn't give her to time off to join him in Vegas.
After getting engaged on Valentine's Day this year, the pair are now in the process of converting a £750,000 house in Hyde, Greater Manchester, into a £3million palace with a swimming pool and games room.
They have said they will only marry after Ricky retires, but following the outcome on Saturday, that may come quicker than he originally anticipated.
After leaving hospital last night, Ricky said: 'I was hit a lot. The last punch which put me out was a great shot.
'I know I’ll be OK. I have felt worse after 12 tough rounds.'
