Posted  by Simguy on Wednesday, 15-Sep-1999 21L10:06

Before: no rest for the wicked--Electra right back in action after rutting the boots to Dani Fishel--Jantzen Athletic Wear couldn’t be happier with the performance of their champion. Hatcher putting on 5 pounds to face Electra--doesn’t punch as well at bantam as she does at lighter weight, but Carmen not exactly granite chinned. Carmine her purple two piece aerobics togs, high neck, Hatcher in red beach volleyball bikini.

During R1: Electra with the early offense, looks to sweep in low on Teri, and body up, keeping the fight inside Hatcher’s reach. Teri no effective inside, clinches and pouts as Carmen beats her body with right lefts and rights,

R2: Hatcher ready this round, lets Electra in, then clips the stacked brunette with right uppercuts inside to hurt the champ early.. Hatcher trying t load up on right hands as Carmen backpedals, but Electra still moving her head makes Teri miss. Rest of the round all Electra as she sweeps in behind a looping right to the body, then fights off Teri’s chest to wobble Hatcher’s long legs at the bell. Draw.

R3: Carmen doing a nice job of pressuring Teri. Smearing Hatcher along the ropes, Carmen with her chin on Teri’s shoulder, pumps away downstairs at a leisurely pace, content to control he opponent. Teri can’t get off, clinching Carmen around the shoulder, swatting at the champ’s hips around Electra’s arms.

R4: Teri with nice backpedaling footwork early, walks Carmen into the first serious straight right of the fight. Electra passes the test, but she’s wobbly butt the rest f the round, Teri jabbing Carmen’s jugs, whipping the right hand to the jaw, and elbowing Carmen across the lips at the bell to take her first round.

R5: Teri comes out the bully, able to leg around a tentative Electra, spank the jab, and come over the top with right hands, Electra turning with the punches, still takes the odd right flush on the side of the head,  and doesn’t look right this round, Hatcher mauling in clinches, once again cracks Carmen with a late elbow to draw a severe warning from the referee.

R6: Teri going after Carmen’s midsection with those lanky left hooks, but Electra counters out of a crouch with a hook on the chin that shuts Hatcher down. Toe to toe, Teri seems weak limbed, pushing her punches as Carmen looks to bang back with much harder single counters,

R7: Teri boxing beautifully, legging to her left, right hand flaring out the side as she jabs, Hatcher looks like a fencer as she spears Carmen repeatedly with lefts throughout most of nthe round. In the final minute however, Carmen times the jab, bobs under it, and bangs a hard right hand off Teri’s ribcage to send Hatcher wobbling to the canvas, Hatcher up at 8, but tremble-bodied, and Carmen moves in like a big woman, shoving Teri to the ropes, cudgeling her breasts with shorts lets and rights, then teeing off with whipping left hooks to the chin, Hatcher spilling to the canvas with seconds left in the round, is dazed when saved by the bell.

R8: Carmen feels it--she happily walks Hatcher down, pushing the slender brunette around, and plowing the body with big hooks early. Hatcher on the ropes, open mouthed, hair in sleepy eyes, is worked over like a chump as Carmen indulges herself. Carmen turns her shoulders into short clubbing lefts and rights, thumbs up, across Teri’s breasts, bringing a pout of pain to the brunette’s face--but no punches in response.

R9: Teri with a last gasp, comes out swinging for the fences, and Carmen puts on brilliant display of defensive footwork. Electra holds her opponent to a virtual shutout, laughing as she slips beneath, or sways away from Teri’s erratic punching. In the middle of the round, Hatcher misses a hurling right hand over the top, and Electra comes back with a sweet wide left to smash Teri to the canvas. It’s a sadistic game on Electra’s part, as she lets Hatcher exhaust herself with missed blows to the bell.

R10: All Carmen Electra as the champ concentrates on landing picturesque single shots. Hatcher no longer a threat, talking bombs that wouldn’t have come close in the first, Electra straightening up into her signature uppercuts to the belly, smiles to see the pain on Hatcher’s face as she slugs Teri up in her toes. Potshotting, leaping blows to the final bell, as Carmen thrusts her fists in the air, no doubt about the decision:  Unanimous duke Carmen Electra.

After: A lot of people lost a lot of money on this fight as East Coast bettors take a bath on Hatcher. Electra taking Teri’s best shots in the 4th, never looked back as she treated Hatcher to an exquisite beating. “I could have knocked her out anytime.” Carmen admitted, “but then you guys wouldn’t have gotten to see as much as me.” Teri badly battered--yet more evidence that she needs to fight a junior bantam or below to be successful.
