Before: Fight took place during the filming of the latest Bond film. “The World is not Enough”, Richards long hailed as a potentially great up and comer, suffered from being overmatched early in her career, but came into this bout a talent ingénue who had paid her dues. Marceau, bigger, stronger, and with that sneaky Continental style trated her opponent with total, and some felt, inappropriate disdain in days leading up to the bot. Marceau in black push up, black belly dancers pantaloons, Denise in green shorts, black sportsbra, ponytail..

 

During R1: Denise attacks with gusto, charging the ring, tackling Marceau into a corner, and unleashing an unlikely brawling barrage which simply overwhelms the French stylist. Marceau covering up, turns her shoulder  and dips under a lot of leather, but Richards’ early flurries keep Sophie under wraps, and unable to mount much offense. Sophie does some business late, but is clearly surprised by Richards’ ferocity.

 

R2: Richards continues on the attack, shedding her rep as a boxer to put 2 fisted pressure on the French beauty. Marceau once again hounded to the ropes, tucking her chin, rolling with and slipping punches, Richards showing good fitness, sustaining a punishing pace, digging lefts and rights to the brunette’s waist when head shots don’t seem to land flush. Marceau clipping little southie uppercuts off Denise’s face in the final seconds, but can’t get off the ropes. Feverish punching after the bell, and Richards is pulled off as Marceau glares.

 

R3: Denise charging in again, eyes bright with violence, but Marceau now seeing the big picture. Sophie moving laterally, stays off the ropes—she’s still not doing much offensively, but Richards can’t hem her in, and Sophie is able to clinch, slowing the action and frustrating the busy American. Marceau lulling Denise with a maddening slip and clinch non-fight for 2 minutes, but in the final minute, with Richards plowing recklessly forward, Marceau springs her trap. Retreating, Sophie nails Richards with that sweet, tight right hook—all shoulder, and Denise collapses forward. Marceau with a torreador’s spin, puts Richards on the ropes, and hammers at the girl’s belly with that crushing rising left, Richards in pain, huddling over as she sits on the ropes, and Marceau able to chop at the ear with the right hook, dig to the tummy with looping lefts, and gutshot Denise spills face forward to the c canvas, Gurgling in agony, Denise can’t get off her back, and Sophie stares in fascinated cruelty at her victim.

 

After: Win shows some that Marceau has arrived, but subsequent disappointment against B class Americans leaves many doubters. Richards becoming a solid pug—may never reach easy projected heights, but she’s not an easy mark for most.
