Before: High contrast bout in almost every way conceivable: blonde/brunette; youth/age; taller/shorter; leggy, rangy boxer/stationary, torso-bobbing rope-a-doper. "It's all about distance," Cerebral Carpenter analyzes in prefight. "Inside, she can't handle me; outside, I can't get to her. I'll make her give up her height, or I'll take it away from her - one or the other." Keebs focusing less on tactics, more on big-picture: "I can't wait to stretch Charisma!" Gushes the former Diva. "I was made to dominate girls like Charisma - this is gonna be fun. Reminds me of high-school!" Keebs in electric baby blue bikini; hair pulled back into loose twisty bun; white gloves. Charisma in purple bikini; black gloves; hair in loose tangles. Some pushing and shoving in prefight between Carpenter and Heigl - Kathy a notorious Charisma-buster, has trouble restraining herself whenever CC's swaggering in plain sight.

During R1: Crafty Carpenter slinks to midring - reaches in a long tummy jab, slides back to induce Keibler forward. Stacy oblivious, walks Carpenter down, following CC to ropes where Charisma settles in comfy. Carpenter with hands in a relaxed stack right atop left - torso tipping side to side, or rotating around as she sits in ropes, drawing punches from Stacy. Keibler accomodative - swatting and swiping away - missing - then getting smote hard in her armpits and ribs as Carpenter calmly drags single-shot lefts and rights into long blonde torso. Keibler repeatedly touched hard - she steps out of range, scowling - jabs her way back in close and attempts to scour, only to find herself taking hard lashes to the body. All CC till late - Keibler finally pouring a long, shafting right hand down the pike, crashing into Carpenter's chin and BUCKLING CC'S KNEES! Carpenter swooning into ropes - Heigl roaring to her feet ringside, bellowing "THAT'S THE WAY, KEEBY!" Stacy grinning - pushing her left palm into Charisma's left shoulder to stabilize her, then pouring another right hand down across chin. Carpenter desperately hurt - bobbing and weaving. She's trying to tie up around Stacy's hips, but Keibler scraping a rigid left uppercut in close discourages the practice, while setting up a steady stream of driving right hands. Bell: Carpenter's still on her feet - buttocks ringing in alarm; Stacy wheels away all squealing and happy as she steals the first late.

R2: Charisma's got no choice - she's forced to go out and get Stacy, can't risk hanging back and losing rounds to passivity. Keibler glowing, eyes dancing: she's circling left, parceling out a long jab, sliding back from Carpenter's step-ins, maintaining height. Midway through, CC bobs her way in, but eats the Keibler right uppercut - Stacy getting it short off her right foot, really picking Carpenter up hard. Charisma thrown back on her heels, but still savvy: as Stace moves in to finish - Carpenter able to duck-and-roll, get under the Keibler haymakers and swat heavy leather against blonde ribs. Stacy denied, forced to back off: Carpenter hurt, but proving dangerous despite. During the break - Keibler told to "Nibble at her cut," by Janet - referring to the hairline nick opened up on CC this round.

R3: Stacy jabbing at CC's hairline early: Carpenter slips underneath, walks Stace into a swinging hook/blunt right hand counter-combo that has blonde buttocks wobbling early. Stacy's turn to regroup - she gets on her bike, staggering away as Charisma stalks - but now it's Carpenter walking into trouble. Stacy's young legs able to shake off hard poke quickly: she regroups behind the jab, pouring in right hands to pound against CC's left eye. Wary cat and mouse thereafter - both girls hurt when they've come forward through 3.

R4: Charisma attempts to lure Stacy to ropes: Keibler wise to the trick - stoops, reaches in long, stiff tummy jabs, then leans out of range, scoring cheap points. CC waiting as long as she can, then coming forward out of necessity: Stacy loping back in good order, forcing Charisma to weave through the jabs and sizzling right crosses. Keebs turning at the ropes, walking Charisma forward: blonde masterful controlling distance, using her legs, maintaining her height. Down the stretch, Carpenter's ripped a hard left uppercut coming in, then a downward slashing right across her left cheek - putting her wobbly butt. Stacy able to consolidate big-girl - stepping-to CC with arms akimbo - slugging flat-knuckle lefts and rights in behind Carpenter's elbows as brunette's drooping forward. Tic-toc punching a devastating sight - Stacy's crook-armed blows plowing into firm Carpenter flanks, paralyzing Charisma in her crouch. CC mouthbreathing, pained: left eye's closing and now she's sporting body punishment from a lanky power puncher through 4.

R5: This is the game: CC lures Keibler to ropes at the beginning of rounds; Stacy has to pursue, hoping to get touches without being countered. If she can - then suddenly the onus is on CC to come forward, where Keibler can backpedal, be tall and look for power potshots. Plays out beautifully for Keibler this round: she stalks Carpenter to ropes - jabs her tummy and breasts as CC's dipping and twisting. Touched up for a full minute - Carpenter has to come forward: Keibler lures her to midring, starts punishing her jabs/long right hands. Down the stretch, Carpenter crouching forward, arms crossed against her body, head waist-high on Keibler: Stacy looming over Carpenter with fists curled tight to chin. Keibler dipping to either side, lashing either hand to CC's hips, bringing the mitt back quick to chin. Keibler dipping, ripping short, fish-hook uppercuts off CC's scalp or taking Carpenter inside her shoulders: Stace always bringing the fist back quick to guard her chin. Mic picks up Stacy singing the words to "Womanizer" under her breath as she punches in-tempo, grunting and digging at Charisma for a shutout fifth.

R6: Carpenter increasingly forlorn - falling behind on the guards, busting up, breaking down. First minute - CC in her peek-a-boo defence at ropes, rolling torso on her hips as Stacy reaches in long, stiff touches to jug and tummy. Keibs lopes out of range with a cruel grin as poor, tired Charisma lurches forward: Carpenter dismal with punishment and frustration at this point. CC bobbing in crossed-arm stance, head waist high on Keebs: Stacy tightens up stroke, curling her fists into her chin, looming over Carpenter and getting to work on her. Fierce dip-n'-rip diggings from Stacy - tight delivery as she snatches at Carpenter's hips and flanks, or licks up underneath to pick up those jugs. Keebs bringing mitts back to her chin, stepping around crippled Charisma, looming over her. Carpenter listless, not punching back - just stooping forward on the take. Stacy occasionally opening up to lash a sidearm buggy-whip right hand against Carpenter's flank - or strap a whippy left hook up underneath - all the while half speaking/half singing the insistent "Womanizer" tune - punching to the beat. Goes on and on - poor Charisma slowing, taking terrible punishment in her flanks/across her back: she finally reaches down with her hands, lowering herself gingerly to all fours. That's it - Charisma tragically beaten tonight, can't go on. KO6 - Stacy Keibler.

After: Keibler hopping around, yanking at her mitts to get 'em off - then she's quickly into Charisma, bulling the still-panting and demoralized veteran onto her back. Carpenter groaning as she's bowled over - eyes frowned shut, lips curled off her teeth in a bytchy snarl: Stacy pours her length across CC's plush chest, scissoring up brunette right arm between those 41 inch legs, gripping brunette left wrist in both hands. Keibler's long frame goes rigid as she applies cross body - Carpenter moaning, gulping her tired hips in a feeble attempt to buck Stacy off. Slow, degrading using up of a wonderful brunette: CC on her back - her knees up, feet pushing against canvas as her body weakens, her tummy pulsing in and out with exertions. CC turning her hips side to side, legs bicycling and thrashing - to no avail. Stacy crowing, turning her head to smile brightly at CC as agonized Charisma begins to shudder into wracking sobs. Officials finally able to pry strong-gripping blonde off her prey, but not before CC sheds exhausted tears of protest.
