Thanks to Ginny for this repost.

"The hardest I've ever been hit was in a fight with Kathy Heigl," Charisma admits in prefight. "Lesson learned. The girl's jam-packed with power, so I have to make sure she can't set her feet properly to get off with all her weight. I can't let her extend right hands onto me either - I need to be getting under and into her. Inside, I can offset her strength and that's what I'll do: take it to the ribcage, stay tucked in, and use this blonde up."
Whole different press conference with Kathy H these days: full star treatment - Heigl still friendly with press, but not nearly as accessible as she was pre Knocked-up. "In the FCBA, as in life," Kathy grins, "strong girls take from weaker girls. This game boils down to strength: you can be as cute as you want to be in there; you can work your angles and dance, but sooner or later, it always comes down to beef. Carpenter's felt my power - she KNOWS she can't stand up to it, but she's starting to play the denial game with herself. I strip all that away from girls when I hit them - when I land my first good right hand, CC's gonna realize her tricks aren't going to cut it."

Carpenter in black Veronica Mars bikini with big gold attachments jugs and hips; black gloves. Katherine in baby blue lace push up; baby blue bikini bottoms with big white polkadots; white gloves; long low ponytail with frisky bangs framing face.

Rd 1: Pretty, thoughtful faces bright-eyed with concentration: girls are circling clockwise, slow-steppin' early. Kathy's right hand up, slight lean to the right as she steps in a heavy jab, looking to thump CC's upperchest. Carpenter's right hand under her chin, left across her body - she's showing the upjab - quick n' stiff - snappin' it tummy and head on Heigl. Kathy unleashing a few choosy rights: all slipped by Charisma - CC quick-clinching for ref's breaks right after. CC in charge, steering Kathy around, landing a few healthy, potshotting right hands to the full bow of Heigl's hulking bra-front; a few tasty, swipe left hooks in above the right hip to take a tactical first.

Rd 2: Heigl steppin' in that jab with authority - big spanking blows pounding at Carpenter's presented left shoulder, splattering against her upperchest. Heigl still leaning in with right hands - Carpenter still shoulder-rolling 'em or slipping underneath - but Kathy's denying the clinch with a quick, muscular palm-shove in Carpenter's shoulders. CC getting pushed around, held at arm's length - Heigl able to capitalize midway through with her first right hand clean to CC's jaw. Carpenter stepping in fence post holes, clearly buzzed - she staggers away, ducks down under a murderous right to gather Heigl up for a clinch around the hips. Resume - Heigl walking Carpenter down - jabbing that left arm and left breast of CC's: Charisma forced to ropes where she sets up supple - left across her body, right hand open at her chin. Kathy squares away, pressing the pocket - big, banging lefts and rights shelling Carpenter's hips and flanks; hearty palm-shoves in the shoulders to stack; thudding rights and lefts tucked tight to paunch. CC rolling and twisting, taking the edge off - but she's punished for big-girl points in the second.
Rd 3: Carpenter slips the first right hand she sees, answers back a short, swiping left to Heigl's liver: Kathy sobs out in shock, momentarily paralyzed. CC edging in close - left shoulder in Heigl's chest - Carpenter walking Heigl in a tight circle, pushing on her, chopping right hands at her, swatting and cuffing away lefts. CC often riding one hand around Kathy's back while hacking at her the free mitt - smaller girl using it to keep the bigger turning while smiting at her. Tuff, digging right/lefts curl off Kathy's paunch or solar plexus - beating the breath from her in pained shouts or grunts. Swabbing cuffs administered to that mouthwatering bra - just short, swiping lefts and rights clobbering breastmeat. Chin? Toggled and slapped, picked up via right uppercuts, clouted hooks - CC pummelling Kathy's body to set up choice licks up top. Heigl wobbly butt, sputtering - constantly held and hit and walked around - tribute to her curvy durability that she's able to soak up a sustained, compact pounding like this. Bell: Carpenter giving Katherine a cool, business like looking-over: Heigl open mouthed, hugging her ribcage and blinking back tears just dropped a 10-8 3rd without a knockdown. When Carpenter sits on her stool - trainer touches her cheek with his right hand, then holds right index finger up, saying: "More. All night. Just like that, Charisma."

Rd 4: CC choosing to engage midring: Carpenter deliberately staying off the ropes, refusing to rope-a-dope a beauty who has shown she can collapse defensive pockets with bone-crunching power. CC slipping her way inside, hands cute, palming at Katherine's hips or reaching behind her back, helping to muscle her around. Heigl working hard to tighten up - pushing her elbows down to get inside CC's arms. Thick n' sweaty in there - girls mouth-on-shoulder as they circle, buttocks trembling with the effort of holding canvas and manage opposition weight. Tidy chop-chop-swat inside - CC working off Katherine's ribs, hips and paunch; Heigl bumping with her shoulder to buy room for plugging left hands to CC's paunch and clubbing at Carpenter's flanks. Both women's breasts come under thudding scrutiny - tight-swiping lefts or rights followed by a smudging shoulder as girls swap in a phonebooth. Biceps also becoming targets as girls start to accept the reality of a protracted, struggle of attrition. Carpenter the niftier lass, blocking a higher percentage of Kathy's shots, or rolling 'em with that left shoulder: Heigl being all big-bodied, seems more available for CC's constant chopping. During the break - Theron's up from ringside, offering a few words of encouragement and leadership to a frustrated Kathy.

Rd 5: Carpenter nestling inside, squirreling into Katherine's embrace and somehow getting nudging, shrugging, swiping work done. CC warned for holding and hitting, but she's unrepentant: Carpenter walking Heigl around in the clinch, keeping blonde just slightly off balance. Kathy grunting, frowning - often just reaching around Carpenter loosely, allowing Charisma to dig at paunch and 'plexus with chugging little hup-hups. Theron screaming "UPPERCUT" from ringside, and Heigl responds - alarming Carpenter at times with muscular, rising rights in close. Another tidy, sweaty round for CC: she's putting hands on the bigger woman, controlling her, wearing out the body and distributing punishment hip to head through 5.

Rd 6: Much better round for Heigl as jab buys her some much-needed breathing room. Kathy shelling Charisma's left bicep and breast with brawny poke - CC shying away, scowling as she circles. Carpenter crafty here - lowering her left hand to tempt Kathy into extending on the right: CC wants to slip her way inside but Heigl not playing. Kathy stays discplined - working behind a sledgehammer jab, stepping around her girl, drawing warnings for pushing Carpenter in her shoulders to deny CC the inside. Slamming jabs to Carpenter's breasts landing like most girls' power punches - CC wincing, occupying more of the perimeter, less of mid ring as Kathy walks her down.

Rd 7: Slam-bang two-way as Charisma edges in past Kathy's jab, engages blonde toe-to-toe. CC dipping side to side, bouncing her fists off either Heigl jawline - blonde startled, but too big and strong to be moved back, despite the clean clout received. CC throwing a meanspirited left shoulder into Katherine's jugs, mopping up a right uppercut to chin then a tight hook to paunch before clinching-and-turning Kathy: wonderful, supple combination work in the trenches. Heigl snarling, refusing to be dazzled - she bashes away at her problems, ignoring CCs hard-to-find chin to belt at her flanks, arms and jugs. Kathy doing a nice job tightening up stroke and fighting CC's fight: Carpenter more efficient and cuter, getting the better of it - but Heigl's putting plenty of ham on target in a brutal 7th.

Rd 8: Carpenter setting the agenda: slipping in close, wriggling and writhing for position, stepping Katherine around while reaching 'round her back. Heigl frowning, working hard - she's beating Carpenter about both hips and fitting thick right hands into the Carpenter paunch. Both girls drawing warnings - CC for throwing aggressive left shoulders to mouth and jugs; holding and hitting; Heigl for palm-shoving and riding her left forearm up on CC's neck to push her off. Mouthwatering stuff for fans of cramped, belly-to-belly action - girls pushing and straining, then swatting and licking at any opening. Both women investing heavily in one another's biceps and pecs - constant clubbing attrition taking some of the steam out of the punching all around. Carpenter still the classier vixen - tuff enough to absorb what she has to; wily enough to collect the extra touches in the exchanges.

Rd 9: Carpenter in close again - crowding, smothering, turning her girl. Heigl grimacing from the chops above her hips, the constant bumping-up of her tummy, the cruel scrubbing of her breasts. Kathy palming at CC's shoulders, trying to negotiate: meanwhile, Carpenter's banking touches. Second minute Kathy palming up, stepping back - she rips a short, innocent-looking right uppercut but CARPENTER'S HURT! Tidy chin-clip unhinges Carpenter's knees, sets her buttocks a-wobble - she stumbles forward glassy eyed, face forlorn. Heigl stiff-shoves Carpenter with palms on both brunette shoulders - guiding her past: CC stumbling sideways, hits ropes loose and shabby. Heigl stepping in from outside Carpenter's left shoulder with an extended, spearing right scraping across mouth and a BOOMING right cross. Head-toss Charisma Carpenter - she's stooped forward paralyzed, out on her feet and DOWN SHE GOES! Heigl blowing forelocks off her eyes as she stumbles away - CC's on her face and ruined. KO9 in sudden, shocking fashion - Katherine Heigl!

After: Perfect game-plan, perfectly executed for Charisma Carpenter - well on her way to a decision victory when the equalizing might of Kathy's right hand puts in an 11th hour appearance! Gorgeous curvy contest a decadent viewing experience - CC/Heigl still one of the tastiest matchups in boxing. Ugly scene in the aftermath as a woozy Carpenter is brought around on her stool - Heigl, backed up by the full might of the KruZherZ stable, approaches - demanding smother-right: met full on by Jenny O'Dell, Britney and the rest of BSE. Officials intervene before bench clearing brawl can erupt: tensions running high due to the thudding intensity of the fight.
