Before: Garner continuing her goodwill tour of fringe lightweights, keeping sharp while acquainting herself with different looks and styles in the ring. Graham a lanky blonde stylist with good range and decent wheels, probably doesn’t have the pop to the body to really slow JG down, but is a threat to beat the over/under.

Jennifer in neon blue bra style bikini, Graham in white Dr. No knockoff.

During R1: Jenny sets the tone with a dazzling lead right hand, chopping it off the hop to chin and sending Graham crazy-legging to her right. Garner consolidating the rest of the round smart—nimble-footing behind her jab to gouge in under Graham’s bony ribcage with either mitt, systematically taking the spring out of those long shanks. Garner coming in behind her jab, but has the knack of tapping a jab as she steps out—prevents Graham from mounting any kind of response. Heather shutout, looking punished, definitely outclassed in the first.

R2,3: Jenny so thorough, so methodical—she could take liberties in there, drop her hands, lead with power punches, showboat—but she treats Heather like she’s Cat Bell in there. Garner spending the early part of both rounds fencing jabs with Heather, getting position in the ring, testing the blonde’s defences. Right hands slide into Graham’s ribs as the rounds progress—drawing achy winces , cringing body language from Graham. Combinations punctuate both stanzas—Jenny letting her hands go once Heather’s covered upp and broken down—brunette ratatatat-like-that, leaving Graham dazzled aqt the ropes, lumping up through 3.

R4: Jenny hooking off the jab, stepping into Graham to shoulder her back, but Heather’s got some tricks left. Midway through, Heather fades the stick, drops a lanky right over Jen‘s hook and gets surprising wallop onto Garner’s jaw. Jen steps in a pothole, retreats with a glassy look as she tries to get it together. Tentative follow up from Graham, pawing Jennifer with the jab, pressing it against the shoulder or chest, not wanting to gamble. Garner leggy around the perimeter, sacrifices the round to clear the cobwebs. Girls touch gloves after the heat—Jennifer acknowledging Heather’s work.

R5: Business as usual—Garner the boss midring. Heather has a nice jab, but it’s slow compared to jenny’s decisive, shocking stick—blonde busting up, can;’t get out of the way of Garner’s rangefinder. Right hands flow to the body, followed by jagged left hooks in behind the elbow—Graham twitching, bunching up side to side as she is harmed downstairs. Once the hands come down—Jenny putting punches together on the head, batting her girl around, stepping to the side—never in position to take a desperate receipt by accident. Graham woozy, stung at the bell—Garner slaps her rump en route to corners.

R6: Jenny stomping forward fencer style with a doubled up jab, dabbing it body and head—Graham in confused retreat, hounded to the ropes early on. Garner jabbing up the middle, then stepping to the side to hook and cross off either Graham shoulder—blonde decidedly meek at this point, face in her gloves, bent at the waist, just riding it out. Sustained body punching in the second minute has ringsiders shouting in sympathy—Graham groaning, slumping into the ropes—she’s finished, but the ref won’t stop it. Jenny’s got her foe crippled, she squares up to finish and it’s a brutal bombardment at the ropes. Straight lefts and rights shred the defense, pounding back Graham’s head, leaving her stupefied. Jen graduates to the wide left hook, straight right hand, clocking the mouthpiece off Graham’s teeth—blonde’s head lolling and jerking on limp neck—where’s the ref? Garner machine-like—muscles of her shoulders, back and stomach rippling into view as she generates torque, punching and punching and punching her way into what’s left. Graham ragged to the bell, busted up and defenceless—she staggers to her corner and promptly quits on her stool—TKO6 Jenny G.

After: Day in the office for Jen Garner—she’s animated, chatty with her trainer as gloves are removed, seemingly indifferent, maybe not even realizing  the punishment she’s just meted out. Graham battered beyond recognition, given smelling salts and checked out by ringside physicians—constant peppering of Jennifer’s fists making a ruin of the once-pretty girl, BLONDE! magazine condemns the bout as “heinous”, labeling Garner “the worst bully since Cat Bell.” Graham quoted in the article: “Jennife4r’s just heartless. I fought her with everything I has and she didn’t even acknowledge ne after the fight. It’s like I was just there for her to use and discard—like some thing. Jennifer Garner had better watch out—after that Daniel thing and now me…somebody’s going to teach her a lesson.” Jenny reportedly shocked upon reading Heather’s comments—never her intention to make Graham feel the way she did, but that’s what total ring supremacy will get you: bitter resentment.
