Before: Wilson mopping up the greats of the 80s, looks to be too strong, fit and fast for Carter. Lynda coming to fight, continues to make weight and look terrific in camp, but she'll have to recapture former glory to compete for a dime against Peta. Wilson in black 2 piece aerobics gear, Lynda in red 2 piece jockeys.

During R1: Lynda probes Peta's defenses with a long jab early, finding Wilson hittable, but Peta comes back with driving right crosses that soon have Carter on the run. Chasing down Carter, cutting off the ring, Peta hems her into a corner, goes to the body with driving straight right hands, then doubles up the jab to pave the way for the payoff right cross on the mouth. Carter spilling to the ropes, slides awkwardly down to her butt, arms looped over the middle strand and a dazed look in her eye. Bell sounds to save the gutsy brunette who is helped to her corner.

R2: Lynda showing why she's a hall of famer, using a well timed jab to disrupt Peta's slightly robotic attack. Carter flicking the range-finder off her hip, uses a nice little step to the right to neutralize Peta, as Wilson reaches ineffectively with right hands in response.

R3: Peta stepping up the pressure, gets back on Lynda's body, heaving in that booming right hand to the ribs. Carter sucking it up, bending at the waist and coming out of the crouch with batting left hooks, competes, but drops the round.

R4: Lynda luring Peta forward, moving to the right away from Wilson 's monster right hand, and using that incessant jab to good effect. Wilson blocking the jab but not getting off, shows a bad habit of picking up Carter's left with her own right. Lynda sees it, and takes advantage, dropping a big right hand on the exposed chin as Peta bites on a feint. Wilson staggered, as Lynda gets terrific extension on the punch.

R5: Wilson 's fortitude tested for perhaps the first time in her career. Still a little wobbly, she walks Lynda down, but can't cut off the ring as the crafty brunette leans into those lanky jabs, steps around the blonde, and potshots with banging rights as Peta wanders in. Wilson taking a great punch in this fight, but digging herself a hole on the cards.

R6: Peta back on track, forces Lynda to trade mid ring, and the blonde's edge in strength, handspeed apparent. Carter reduced to covering up and loading up with looping right hands, trying to time Peta - Wilson banging away with harmful work to the waist, and stern right crosses to the jaw.

R7: Carter boxing brilliantly, lifting that backhand jab off her hip, twisting into well timed rights that catch Peta full on the face as she tries to square up on the brunette. Carter mugging Wilson late as the blonde covers up and leans in - Lynda hoisting loud lefts and rights into Peta's ribs, pumps a satisfied fist at the bell as Wilson shakes her head en route to her corner.

R8: Lynda's legs finally look their age as she spends most of the round leaning in with Peta, getting walked back to the ropes and taking booming body shots as Wilson gets off with batting lefts and rights. Carter's punch output drops for the first time, and she finishes the round seated on the ropes, trying to snipe uppercuts as Wilson works side to side.

R9: Peta getting stronger, pounding Lynda to the ropes with straight right hands, then going to the body as Carter tries to rope-a-dope. Carter soaking up bombs on her arms, hips and ribs -Peta now patiently bodying up, wrestling her way past Lynda's arms, and digging to the body, cracking to the head with short, clubbing blows.

R10: Lynda doesn't look right - hands low, mouth breathing, and Peta looks ready to fight another dime. Wilson stalking, embarrassing Lynda with flush lead right hands from right in front, no jab necessary to land. Carter reacting too late to the punches, retreats to the ropes, covering up once again as Peta leisurely bodies up. Wilson pushing on Carter, then stepping out to get full extension on banging lefts and rights to the pale midsection of her foe. Lynda in dire straights, legs locking, defense drooping. A crunching straight right bounces of Carter's sternum, and Lynda wilts, suddenly helpless. Savage beat down as Peta clubs left hooks, and drives in with murderous right hands to overwhelm Carter. Lynda beaten to her backside in the corner once again, this time unable to get off her butt. KO10 Peta Wilson as she saps Lynda of her will to go on.

After: Peta taking a haymaker in the 4th, shows a tremendous chin and heart to go along with her athletic skills. Lynda with some veteran savvy had the youngster frustrated over the first half, but time started to tell after the 7th as Peta ground down and halted her famous foe. Wilson continues to roll against the big women, prompting speculation of who might step up against the young phenom.
