All right, I guess an official rematch back to back doesn't make much sense - but I ran another sim with the exact same numbers, and did get a fight more along my expectations. I'll summarize the rounds for those interested.

R 1-4: All Charlize Theron. Over the first half, Theron is just as sharp, just as focused as she was in the first bout. All the same principles apply: moving Brooke's feet by influence as well as with pressure, walking Brooke into punches, jabbing constantly - not always damaging but more to keep Shields at bay. Charlize is able to drop the right hand several times during these rounds, putting Brooke wobbly butt throughout, but Shields soaks up the smaller woman's bombs and doesn't cave when the opportunity to do so beckons.

R5: Sure enough, Theron's work rate drops, she starts to stand and pose with Brooke, and Shields starts to get off. Shields starts to wear Charlize out with right hands, and pushes the blonde to the corner for a lengthy beat down, culminating in a clubbing right on the teeth which sees Theron take a knee. Charlize up at 8 and clearly a little dazed.

R6: Brooke going to the body as Charlize' legs stiffen. Theron holding, clinching as Brooke slugs, targeting the waist and arms of the blonde. A thudding left to the liver buckles Charlize' legs and she sits on the ropes, allowing Brooke to maul her with wide lefts and rights. Brooke methodically beating the arms and torso of the blonde, using her shoulder and forearms to lean on Charlize in between bursts.

R7: Another good Brooke round as Theron fights ear to ear with the big girl, and can't take the grind over the full course of the round. Wrestling up top, Brooke walks Charlize into the corner again, leaning and using her mass on Theron. Big booming punches on the biceps have Charlize starting to wince, and digging left hands to the pit of the stomach rob Theron of mobility.

R8: Charlize continues toe to toe, nifty combinations doing little to back Shields up or slow her down. Theron right in front of Brooke, is repeatedly hammered into submission as Shield artlessly clubs wide at the blonde's torso, and this round ends with Theron lolling on the ropes, covering up, and taking solid single blows to the bell.

R9: Brooke's arm weary after 4 solid rounds of offense, and Charlize shows she may have been playing a little possum as her legs show good spring this round. On her toes, Charlize posts a dazzling shutout this round, sticking the jab into Brooke's face at will, dancing away before the receipt, and scoring effortlessly with sharp right crosses.

R10: Charlize with another shutout, spinning Brooke, clinching on the inside, then stepping back at an angle to bat left hooks onto Shield's head and shoulders. Theron with good bounce in those legs, continues to get the angle on Brooke, stepping to the left and stuffing straight rights up the middle to harm Brooke in the late stages of the round. Shields finishes up a little punchy in going the distance with safety first Charlize in this one. UD Charlize Theron.

Overall, a better fight from a simulation stand point, as I tend to see Charlize being vulnerable to lapses during fights, but in this case, not so vulnerable as to really be in danger of dropping the decision. Brooke's offense was plodding, but effective, scoring the knockdown and working Theron over at points, but Charlize had the grit to withstand and recover. Charlize was hurt in the 5th, 6th, and 7th rounds, and couldn't sustain her attack, but once she regained her footing, the fight got easy once again.
