8 Round Seniors Bout

Before: Welch climbs back into the ring against the larger, stronger Lange for what could be a huge mistake. With nothing left to prove, Raquel Welch 99 bears little resemblance to the woman who danced her way to victory in the sixties, slugged her way to glory in the seventies, and upset the best of the 80s to put her stamp on female celebrity boxing for all time. Age, and the weight of countless struggles against the world’s most beautiful women through 3 decades have left Welch dangerously vulnerable, especially to big hitters like Lange. Raquel in a tight short sleeved powder blue t shirt and bikini bottoms--Lange in white bra and panties at the Las Vegas Hilton.

During R1: Crowd moans as Lange busts Raquel up with the opening punch, a crushing short right uppercut to the face that has Welch wobbly butt from the get go. Raquel finds a seat on the ropes and looks to cover up as Jessica wades in. All Lange from bell to bell as she works Raquel over with thick-fisted ferocity. Jessi all booming single punches, pounding a left into the gut of Welch, then laying in with a shoulder to set up the clipping right uppercut, then bodying up to push Raquel back for more. Heartless beat down leaves Raquel’s face a battered wreck, and her body trembling from the force of dozens of pounding haymakers.

R2: Welch somehow out for the second round, quickly fades to the ropes and cover sup,. Jessica methodical even cautious, reaching in with the palm of her left hand to pull Raquel’s arms away before sailing in with the right to the body and head, Jessica’s punches land with sickening force, and Welch seems content to lay on the ropes, soaking up the abuse.

R3: Raquel propping herself up against the ropes, waves Jessica in, and the blonde goes to work. Jessi probing and pulling with the left hand, occasionally leaning into the sledgehammer right to the chest or face as Raquel sluggishly accepts her fate. Welch counterpunching off the ropes midway through, surprises Lange with short left and right uppercuts, and down the stretch, Welch with some well-timed hooks actually stuns Lange with the left hand counter. Jessica clinching at the bell, shakes her head as Raquel pats at her kidney.

R4: Jessica looking a little drained, nevertheless has no difficulty standing in front of Raquel and drilling jabs as Welch lays on the ropes. Welch catching most of the incoming as Lange doesn’t double up the jab, but a few well-placed wide rights to the pudgy midriff have Welch in pain at the bell.

R5: Raquel on the ropes, lures Jessica in once again, and once again, the aging brunette shows flashes f skill in cleverly counter punching Jessica with sharp left hooks  inside. Welch punching inside Jessica’s right hand staggers the blonde repeatedly, and midway through the round, Welch clinches and muscles Jessica to the ropes, Raquel fighting off Jessica’s chest pounds away with combinations to the midsection as Lange takes to the bell.

R6: Lange doesn’t fall for it this time, staying well outside as Raquel plays possum on the ropes. Jessi with the right hand taped to her cheek. Pokes and prods with the left while Raquel looks for countering opportunities.

R7: Welch starting o look badly fatigued, lays on the ropes with her hands low, bending back fro Jessica’s punches. Lange sensing the moment, lets her hands go  and Welch can’t pull the trigger to counter. A booming right uppercut, all shoulder, lays Raquel back against the ropes, swooning helplessly as Jessica pushes and slugs with wrecking ball right hands.

R8: Raquel Welch is a battered mess, sitting on the same patch of rope she has throughout the entire fight, hands out front of her face, and Jessica Lange steps into a beautiful short left uppercut to bring another groan out of the crowd. Raquel stunned, stands on instinct as Lange reaches back to drift the belly with clubbing right hands, bringing Raquel forward. Punching to Raquel’s head, Jessica keeps everything short and compact, ringing Welch up with the biting uppercut and swatting hook, then shouldering the brunette back into the ropes to get at that sweet midsection. Welch beaten senseless as Lange works with thorough determination, but she goes the distance. Lange with a big hug after the round, helps the beaten Raquel to her corner--unanimous decision Jessica Lange.

After: Welch would have been better served going down to stay in the first, than stay in for all 8 rounds of this beating. Lange herself was staggered in the 3rd and 5th, and fought hurt for most of the fight, but Welch could do nothing to capitalize as blonde’s heavy hands simply beat the fight out of her.
