Before: McCarthy’s strong showing against Lopez gets her this prestigious bout, but she enters a 3-1 underdog on British books. Plenty of trash talk before hand (de rigeur for Jenny) but it’s more than gamesmanship—Demi has little regard for the Playboy bimbo and says as much in the press and during pre-fight.

Moore wears a black string “Striptease” bikini, white sneakers and socks, white gloves, Jenny to wear blue and pink floral push up bikini, white sneakers and socks, white gloves and short, curled hair.

During R1: Jenny light Demi up with her first punch, a looping overhand right out of the lights that lands awkwardly on Moore’s temple. Demi’s legs lock, and she’s cut over the  left eye as Jenny goes ballistic. Only Demi’s fighting sensibility and upperbody movement save her from complete first strike annihilation as jenny wades in, breasts heaving side to side as she slugs both hands in a horizontal plane. Demi absorbs shocking abuse this round, but by the final minute has her legs underneath her, and is countering hard to the blonde’s midriff. Nice round for McCarthy as she smiles at the bell.

R2: Jenny comes out swinging for the fences, and Demi has little trouble backing off, or slipping the wide punches. Jenny settles into a flat footed stance and the girls exchange smacking hooks at close range, Demi digging predominantly to the belly. Moore takes the round as McCarthy looks flushed at the bell.

R3: Jenny actually opens with some stick and mover this round, trying to tempt Demi to open up, but Moore sticks with her game plan and cuts off the ring, puts her head on Jenny’s chest, and makes the blonde fight inside. McCarthy going toe to toe with \Demi does surprisingly well. After the bell, Demi relaxes, and jenny jerks a short right hand into her groin—all hell breaks loose as corners flood the ring, the ref holds Jenny in a tight bearhug, and the fight is delayed several minutes.

R4: Strong round for Demi Moore as she bodies up on Jenny and uses her powerful legs to walk the blonde into the ropes. Moore very patient, very methodical, digs in around Jenny’s elbows to get at the body, uses her head indiscriminately, and scores with short uppercut up the middle to shut Jenny out this round. Jenny appears to be wearing down as Demi hasn’t given her room to punch much of the night.

R5: Demi comes out banging hard again to the body, ripping left hooks across Jenny’s ribs. McCarthy, cheek to cheek with the brunette, churns back and this round is a stalemate for the first two minutes as jenny refuses to be bullied. In the final minute however, Demi uses her shoulder well, knocking Jenny back just far enough to score with snapping hooks inside. A clouting left to the jaw twists Jenny’s head to the side, and she falters to one knee. McCarthy survives, but she’s breathing from the mouth and looking desperate as Moore walks her down and thumps her to the bell.

R6: Moore saunters across the ring to body up again—and walks right into another moonshot right hand from McCarthy! Demi sprawls to the canvas, badly rattled as Jenny shows stinging one-punch power. Moore gets to her feet, and Jenny pours into the breach. Holding Demi’s head down, Jenny jerks short right uppercuts to the brunette’s mouth and eye. Jenny taints Demi as she holds the brunette behind the head, her lips brushing Demi’s cheek as she sprews venom at close range. Jenny uses the elbow viciously to the forehead of Demi and pounds away at the brunette’s hips and trunks along the ropes. Demi is dazed, barely able to protect herself as Jenny savages her. Of the legal tactics Jenny employs, the bombing right hand is the best, crushing Demi’s head flat upon her shoulder on several occasions. Moore’s strong legs see her to the end of the round, but she is devastated by the viciousness and the effectiveness of the blonde’s whirlwind attack.

R7: McCarthy comes out barely able to lift her arms this round, and Moore extracts her revenge, fighting off Jenny’s chest to pound the gut with both mitts. Demi is most effective when she can use her forearm and put punches together at close range, and jenny can only roll with the punches as she gets her wind back this round.

R8: Demi bodies up early, but midway through the fight, a jerking one-two o the crotch buckles Demi and Jenny steps away and to her right. With tomahawk swings, she brings the right hand down over Demi’s left shoulder, and Moore seems hurt, turning slowly, trying to grab. Jenny steps into Demi as Moore tries to clinch, and hammers a postcard right uppercut to the chin of Moore. Demi folds into the blonde, lightly hugging her as she slides to the canvas. McCarthy steps back and Moore falls to her face. KO Jenny McCarthy as Demi lies on the mat for several minutes afterward/

After: Huge victory for McCarthy, and a setback for Moore who had wanted to put together a little unbeaten streak and take s hot at Jamie Luner. Jenny’s fouling is not all random wildness—her constant and personal violations wear on the opponent’s psyche as much as her body, and combined with surprising offensive skills, Jenny is perhaps one of the most underrated celebs going.
