Charlize Theron vs. Kate Beckinsale (II) by simguy 11-6-04

Beckinsale decked out in tan riding pants, black silk blouse, black riding boots and riding crop - no secret what she's getting at. Prefight, podium: Beck takes the mic off the table and wanders over to Charlize' side of the dais, sitting on the table next to and in front of blonde, crossing her legs and speaking down to Theron:

"Charlie, Charlie, Charlie," Kate coos into the mic. “You must get tired of all the questions. 'Kate's so much smaller than you, so much weaker, how did she batter you last time?' But we know the answer don't we, sweetie? Deep down, you YEARN for a brunette to tame you, don't you? You want to be mounted, ridden hard, broken;  and when you saw me you just knew that rider had come at last." Kate draws the crop gently down Charlize' cheek: "I'm going here..." trails it lovingly down the top of Charlize' cream blouse. "And I'm definitely going down THERE - and there's nothing,  not a blessed thing, you'll be able to do about it."

Kate leans forward to kiss Charlize' hair and presses the mic to blonde's chest, amplifying the beat of Theron's heart THUD-THUD THUD-THUD THUD-THUD. Smirking Kate stands, saunters back to her side of the dais, leaving Theron trembling, cheeks blossoming crimson - first time in Charlize' life she's ever been rendered speechless in front of the press. KO prefight Kate Beckinsale - she carries the psyche war over into the ring and they'll be scooping Charlize up with a shovel.

Kate in scarlet bikini, ruffled edges on the top, ruffled bottoms, hair up - Charlize in cream bikini.

Kate brazenly staring in Charlize' eyes, licking lips lasciviously - Theron held in the cobra-gaze like a paralyzed bird.

Rd 1: Charlize spellbound - Kate steps-to and pounds a right to the face to start a romp. Theron stepping straight back, blinking in shock - walking barrage of jolting lefts and rights smash back Charlize' head, driving her ropeside. Theron staring, upright, not answering back - Beckinsale on auto as torso twists side to side, powering in straight lefts and rights. Theron's startled face getting spanked - crowd squealing as blonde appears mesmerized by punches. Katie goes jug with a vicious leer, slamming away criss-cross to Theron's perky tits - Charlize head lolling, knees knocking as she finally clinches for a ref's break. Beckinsale pushed back, but straining against the man's hand at her chest: Kate wants more. Beckinsale just wading in after the breaks, pouring herself at Charlize, not sparing the lash. Theron just standing and soaking it up like she has no choice - nose bloodied, eyelashes fluttering, mouth open. At the bell - delighted Kate yells, "There - you see!" pointing at Charlize' chest! The camera zooms in and sure enough Theron's nipples are hard with arousal after the special torment of Kate's punches!!! Charlize is mortified, on the verge of tears in her corner where Sharon Stone orders her, "Get a hold of yourself! This cow is nothing special - what's wrong with you?"

Rd 2: Charlize punching at last - Kate just wading in, easy to find with right hands. Beckinsale willing to take Theron's cross to close and land in combination, but it's a mistake - longer, strong blonde extending and intercepting, finding the Beckinsale chin again and again with crashing strokes - only a matter of time before brunette legs give way. Sight of Kate wobbly butt finally breaks the spell - Charlize snarling as she takes control, long rights over the top, whippy lefts underneath, scouring British belly and torso. Kate brave as always, fighting back hurt - she bangs away lefts and rights to discourage Theron's piling-on attempt at the bell.

Rd 3: Head on assault continues - Beckinsale convinced of her own mastery, but Theron resisting. Furious two way trade midring - Charlize loosening up, lowering her hands slightly - she's leaning in to carry a thick right hand to the breadbasket, leaning out to swat that hook upside the head. Kate chugging away with left/right lather - non-stop clubbing upside the head, shoulders and jugs - but Charlize managing the pressure better with her upperbody movement and timely hitting. Crowd enjoying the swap meet - but punch for punch, Katie's giving up too much beef. Beck's legs unhinge, start to wander - Kate's form starts to degrade, punches slapping and pushing as Charlize keys right hands on chin. Theron in a rhythm where she can ease in and crack that jaw a right hand any time she wants - Kate staggering under the blows, refusing to back off - it's suicide. Late the round, stream of Theron right hands to the chin finally unravels Kate - blonde sidesteps as Beckinsale stumbles past, clattering to hands and knees face first in the ropes. Blubbery Beckinsale trying to climb the ropes, but she's all used up - KO3 in ham-handed fashion - Charlize Theron!

After: Pent up release from Theron as she screams, struggling to get at Beckinsale while Stone wraps up around the waist and holds Charlize back. Beckinsale definitely has SOME hold on Charlize, but not enough to render blonde catatonic - Theron simply punching hard through the middle, using Kate's forward momentum against her and bashing brunette senseless. Revenge tour going well - Charlize mopping up some of the smaller fighters to have taken advantage of her doldroms this year - answering Kate a good indication that Theron's mental focus is back.

********

At the Postfight Press Conference: Charlize briefly analyzes the fight, then is asked, “What was wrong with you in the first round?” She explains she has no recollection of anything from the time she left her dressing room until the second round…and has no explanation for what happened, either in the prefight or the first round. She does say she can’t understand what happened to Kate Beckinsale, “…who I once thought of as a friend. I’m the one who gave her the opportunity to star in ‘Pearl Harbor’; if it wasn’t for me pulling out of that film, she’d still be just another anonymous actress like those WB girls! As for me being afraid of her or intimidated, that’s a load of rubbish!”

Before she can amplify her remarks, Sharon Stone gently elbows her aside and says, “I don’t know what was wrong with Char at the beginning. I’ve never seen her like that in a prefight setting - and to have it happen with someone like Beckinsale; well, that’s very disturbing. But you all saw Charlize responded well after 'giving away' the first round and she showed why she's a champ. She decked Kate easy once she got going and made this a laugher!”

A Tractorpull stringer piped up, “What was Sunny McKay doing running around outside the ring between the first two rounds?”

Sunny straight-arms Sharon to one side, leans into the mic and purrs sexily, “I fixed what was wrong, that’s why Charlize won! Some Witch - or Son of a Witch - cast a spell on her before the fight; THAT’S why she looked so lost. As soon as I saw her in the prefight conference I recognized the problem. While Beckinsale was yakking and tormenting poor Charlize, I just stepped up behind her and snipped off a lock of her hair. She never even knew I was there. Then I went back to the dressing room and whipped up a special anti-voodoo ‘white magic’ potion. By the time I got back, the fight had already started so I circled the ring three times clockwise, then reversed course and went three times anticlockwise. By then, the bell rings and Charlize wanders back to her corner in a stupor,” Sunny continued.

“Stone doesn't know what 's wrong but I come over and tell her, ‘Have Charlize to drink this…(two fingers of a purple liquid in shot glass). Stone balks but I insist. Stone figures I’m a flake….”

Just then, Sharon Stone interrupts, “…albeit a sexy flake…”

Sunny winks at her and goes on, “But she’s s desperate and while we’re arguing, Charlize mumbles, “Gimme…I trust you Sharon and I trust Sunny completely and utterly. She tosses it back in one gulp and in a few seconds, she’s good as new! Charlize was obviously under a spell, but I’ve broken it forever and everyone saw what happens when Katie meets Charlize if they’re both at full strength!”

Then Charlize returns to the mic and concludes her portion of the press conference, “I really was - and still am - confused about what happened, but everything feels great now. I loved what it felt like to batter Kate and I’m pretty sure Sunny is right, someone who doesn’t want me to succeed was using Black Magic against me, but that won't happen again…Sunny won’t let it!”

After Charlize left, Jessica Lange took the podium and praised the newest KruZher, Jessica Simpson for her performance in her debut match “I don’t have to tell you all that Jessica is not only an awesome physical specimen, you can see that for yourselves, but she’s also one of the smartest women in the FCBA with an IQ of over 160! We prepared her perfectly for Monaco and she executed both her game plan - and Kelly - as designed. You’re going to be seeing some great things when Jessica Simpson’s in the ring in her tiny bikini and it won’t be long before she’s wearing a third piece to her fight ensamble…the flyweight title belt!”

Asked to comment on other fights, Lange offered praise for Laetitia Casta’s victory over Nicole Kidman, saying the KruZherS like and respect Laetitia and can’t wait to get her back in the ring as soon as possible for a rematch with Mandy Moore! Neve Campbell also came in for some accolades from Lange who said, “Neve’s victory didn’t surprise me in the least. She’s a tough competitor who always is a threat against any bantam and a lot of lightweights as well. Dushku was just fortunate that Campbell was prohibited by the rules from using her scissors!”
