Before: Semi-private bout in an undisclosed Malibu beach house with indoor gym/ring. Stone’s operation all the way--her friends, her judges, her house--Stowe in tough and on the road. Madeleine in black push up red bikini bottoms, Stone in white push up, navy bikini bottoms.

During R1-2: Classy stuffy from both women. Neither girl blazing fast, but technique is polished with attention paid first to form,. Power second. Sharon takes the first, Madeleine the second in very close tactical rounds, jabs predominating.

R3: Sharon sees Maddy likes to pick up the jab with her right palm, leaving her chin exposed to hooks, and Stone goes to work on the weakness with a vengeance. Midway through the round, Sharon hooking off the jab. CRACKS Madeleine a beauty double left hook, leaving Stone stunned and absolutely defenseless. Stone working methodically, sets down on her punches, and rips to the body and jaw with hooks, belting Stowe to the ropes and pouring it on with long armed combinations to the bell,. Stone shocked that Madeleine didn’t take a knee--Stowe vacant-eyes as she survives the round in terrible shape.

R4: Madeleine not the same girl who started the fight, reacting late to Stone’s attacks, and Sharon begins to bang the doe-eyed brunette’s head with jabs, hooks at will. Sharon working her girl to the ropes, patiently potshots with spearing rights to the body to soften Stowe up.

R5: Shutout Sharon Stone, and she pours on a brutal beating in the final minute in an all-out effort to stop her foe. Madeleine helpless in the corner, gloves in front of her face, is belted sideways to the turnbuckles as Stone cranks those merciless hooks--Sharon setting her feet to crank lefts, busting Stowe up with her very best stuff. Bell sounds--Madeleine glassy-eyed and soaking up shocking abuse--Stone looking almost in awe as Stowe staggers back to her corner.

R6: Stone a little arm-weary, and here comes Madeleine. Stowe flat footed, badly beaten upside the right side of her head, digs into Stone’s body with drubbing lefts and rights, forcing Stone to trade at medium distance. Stone pulling straight back and eating right hands, finishes up defending on the ropes as Stowe gets off with workmanlike lefts and rights.

R7: Stone with the stick, but those legs look tired, and Madeleine slows the blonde with thudding left hooks to the waist. Round progresses, Stone getting progressively beat up, and a gorgeous left hook, right hand on the blonde’s chin has her wobbly butt. Stowe pouring it on, bashes out Stone’s mouthpiece as Sharon falters beneath a series of clubbing lefts and rights. Stone standing lock legged with her back to the ropes, gloves up, taking punches and looking  ready to go at any moment.

R8: Maddy falling in with Stone, goes to the blonde’s tummy with hooks, but the brunette looks shot now--merely swatting at belly instead of committing. Stone gritting her teeth, allows the clinch as the girls output drops, but it’s Stone down the stretch with some clouting right hands inside to finish the stronger fighter at the bell.

R9: Shutout Stone as she re-establishes the jab to keep Stowe off her, and midway through the round, that heartless hook staggers Maddy again, as Stone doubles up on the blow, Stowe tragically hurt, reels to the ropes, and stares pleadingly at Sharon as the blonde wrecks brunette with relentless hooks on the jaw to the bell. Stowe spitting blood, once again refuses to drop as Stone tells her to quit in frustration.

R10: All Madeline Stowe, or what’s left of her as an exhausted Sharon Stone sits on the ropes, puts her face in her gloves and gives up her body to the brunette’s slapping arm punches, Stowe open mouthed, lolls on Sharon, patting at her ribs and tummy, palming up ion the blonde’s biceps to prevent her from spinning off the ropes, and keeping her head on Sharon in the clinches, Controlling round for Stowe, but it’s not enough. Unanimous duke Sharon Stone.

After: Stowe soaks up Sharon’s best in a very competitive dime under tough conditions. Stone incredulous that Madeleine finished the fight, and Stowe is not invited to the post fight party, Madeleine shows that Texas tough heart, but maybe too much chin for her own good as Stone had the brunette out on her feet from the third round on.
