Before; It’s not hard to see why heather begged to be matched up against protected prospect Denise Richards. Every time she looks in the mirror and sees those little character lines at the corner of her eyes and mouth, Heather Thomas know that a new generation of starlets has replaced her, and that many young fans may not even know who she is. Richards has looked awesome beating up hand-picked ham-and-eggers, and clearly has little respect for whatever is left of the archetypical blonde legend Thomas, The stare-down between these two makes Leonard/Hearns look like a love-in.

During R1: Denise comes out lean and lanky, flicking out a straight, but predictable jab. By the second minute, Heather has I t timed, and is able to get to Richards’ smooth midriff with left hooks, and come over the jab wit right hands to the jaw, A double left hook has Richards momentarily disoriented, and Thom as shows she still has the hand speed, stepping to the right and dribbling Denise’s head with a snapping 3 punch combinations. Richards clinches, but gives up the body as Heather rotates gher shoulder into punishing blows to the bell.

R2: All Heather Thomas as she feasts on a weakened, and clearly confused young brunette. Richards half a step too slow, gets hit flush with heather’s educated jab, and overreacts to Thomas’ feints. Heather moves in and works the slender midsection, getting her world-class hips into every punch. Shutout for Thomas as she goes chest to chest with Richards at the bell, smirking into the brunette’s face as Denise is visibly intimidated.

R3: Heather walks through Denise Richards this round, POUNDING the midsection with batting lefts and rights, then shoving the brunette off balance to set up chopping right hands, Midway through the round, Heather steps to the right, smokes a short right in over Denise’s left shoulder, then pounds a whipping double left hook to Richards’ face. Denise wobbles to the ropes, helpless, and Heathers dorsal fin pops into view. Merciless battering on the ropes leaves Denise helpless, and the ref stops the carnage with a minite left on the clock. With the KO, Heather pits on the sexiest “I beat her, and it was soooo easy” victory walk anyone has seen in years.

After: Richards badly exposed as a one-trick ingénue who needs a lot of work. Thomas just too hard, physically, and psychologically for the young brunette, and clearly enjoyed pummeling Richards just a little too much.
