(UNIFIED LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE BOUT) by Simguy 12-29-00

Theron admitting, "Dina's the most dangerous challenger I've had in a long time. She's like a Gena Lee with brains - I have to respect her. I also LOVE the fact she can challenge me as an equal. Too often I've had to carry the likes of Bell or Nolin for the sake of the promotion. I need to put Dina on ice as soon as I can - I can't play with her." Meyer basking in the glow of her savage demolition of Terry Farrell has pundits and fans buzzing. Boxing certainly didn't work for Farrell, yet Charlize probably doesn't want to trade licks with the curly haired destroyer - interesting problem for a lightweight champ unused to puzzles.

Dina in grey stretch cotton Everlast sports bra, black high cut aerobics bottoms, blonde curls drawn back; Charlize in white sports bra, white high cut aerobics bottoms.

Round 1: Charlize pulls away from a whistling Dina right hand - champ's eyes widen and Theron won't make a serious offensive move this round. Meyer stalking, hurtling into vicious overhand lefts or rights - offense is her defense as Theron peels away, trying to establish order with her feet. Midway through, Dina misses a lunging right, comes back with a crashing left to the jaw - Theron's head spins and she spills to the ropes in trouble. Meyer finally able to square up does savage work to the body - Charlize with palms extended to keep Meyer off her, but Dina fights through it, PULVERIZING THERON'S BRA and chiseled abs and ribs with cudgeling force from both hands. Theron trembling at the bell, but smacks gloves with Dina in acknowledgment of the challenger's work this round.

Round 2: Theron once again on her heels, bailing awkwardly as Meyer's pressure puts the champ in reverse. Charlize trying to leg back, use her jab to set something up, but Meyer keeps collapsing her defense, rushing in, catapulting punches over the top with KO written on every blow. Charlize getting nicked but doing a good job of rolling with most of it. Down the stretch, Theron steps back in good order, fades a Dina right hand and comes back with a stuffing right on the mouth, pushing Meyer's chin in and DINA IS HURT! Meyer stumbles backward as Theron gets her body in behind the shot, steals a Dina round with the opportunistic counter.

Round 3: Charlize now leading - getting her jab into Dina's face. Meyer still wants to come forward but she's getting timed, pre-empted. Theron throwing straight rights off the jab, finishes up with a biting hook that skids off the top of Dina's head. Midway through, Meyer backing up uncertainly - a relaxed Charlize steps in with a quick one-two straight to the mouth - Meyer's butt shoots back as she nearly drops to her knees. Dina at the ropes covers up, looking to grab and hang on to the bell.

Round 4: Both girls have tasted it from the other - mutual respect evident as they circle mid-ring, taking turns assaulting one another with multi-punch bursts. Charlize staying tall, working behind her jab, slinging straight right hands up the middle - Dina crouching low, working around the sides, happy to dig at the ribs when her head punches come up short. Theron giving ground late as Meyer starts to really sink hard shots into those perky tits, forcing Charlize butt against the ropes at the bell.

Round 5: Dina with that sweeping right haymaker to the body, buckles Theron's legs and has the champ grimacing early. Charlize out over her legs, reaches to grab - Dina slugging heartlessly around Theron's outstretched arms, POUNDS PUPPIES UNTIL THERON GOES DOWN! Charlize on her knees, taking ragged breaths, shakes her head and gets to her feet. On comes Meyer. The middle minute sees the curly headed banger walk Theron down all over the ring; winging blockbuster lefts and rights from her hips. Charlize pulling away but GETTING CLIPPED ACROSS THE BREASTS and ribs starts to break down. Final minute ugly - Theron staggering at the ropes, pushing Dina back by her shoulders but Meyer keeps coming. Vicious blows to the waist, clubbing smashes across the face - Charlize going sleepy - pushing her challenger back then covering up as Meyer wades back in. Down the stretch, Meyer stomps in, bounces a brutal straight RIGHT HAND OFF CHARLIZE' LEFT BOOB, drawing a sob from the blonde! As she stiffens, Meyer's follow-up left uppercut sweeps the mouthpiece from Charlize' mouth and SHE DROPS TO ALL FOURS! Theron a pathetic sight climbing the ropes and lolling helpless in the corner until the bell sounds. Ref bodies Dina back as she closes in for the kill - hungry to finish.

Round 6: Charlize beaten unrecognizable in the last round - lopes out for the sixth, but nearly falls as she tries to step around Dina. Meyer pouncing at the first sight of weakness, winging lefts and rights - Charlize desperately slipping as she retreats, turning her shoulders with the punches until she hits the ropes. Crowd screaming as Meyer bodies up and GOES TO THERON'S BRA with awful driving right hands. Theron gasping, lolling forward - Meyer shoving her off, pressing a left forearm against the champs chest before hacking down with a chopping right to the side of her jaw! Theron going out on her feet, eyes closed, mouth open and Dina pours it on! Short curling lefts and rights bash face - Theron soaking it up as her head dances, punches crashing home with sickening force AND THE REF STEPS IN! Meyer leaping for joy as she pounds Charlize out in six. The winner and NEW lightweight champion - Dina Meyer.

Theron ranSACKed by a hungry, hungry challenger; her face a purple punished mass, her body black and blue. Meyer giving Theron as bad a beating as the storied champ can recall. There's a peculiar, animal ferocity to Meyer's attack - spectators can't take their eyes off her when she starts to unload and strong opponents are being reduced to rubble with alarming thoroughness. Theron congratulating the winner in the ring, and telling reporters confidently she wants a rematch - but its Dina's night. In days to follow, analysts sift through the carnage to come up with Meyer-beating strategies - maybe a crowding body attack as she looks like she needs to extend on her punches, or a Marceau like toreador treatment, but nobody's certain. Theron definitely hurt Dina and had her on her heels early, but that fifth round was one of the most one-sided beatings Charlize has ever suffered. Slugging doesn't seem to be the answer - at least, not for Theron
