Before: "A lot's been made of TE's involvement with Laetitia," observes special commentator Catherine Zeta Jones, "personally I don't know if it helps Laetitia, or Charlize more. The particular skill TE seems to impart is the ability to absorb an atrocious amount of punishment relative to your opponent and I'm not sure that Casta needed any help in that regard. Charlize should trounce Laetitia handily - I know I would. No excuse for an elite fighter to stumble here." Theron echoing Zeta Jones' confidence in prefight, "When you sign to fight a limited girl, it is difficult," Charlize laments, "maintaining focus during camp is critical. Also, there are so many things I can do with Casta - it's going to be crucial that I settle on one course to victory and follow it." Casta for her part coming in fit, using a lot of chopping-down-tree hand gestures and smiling confidently - no sign of intimidation in the young Frenchwoman. Black bikini gold strings for Charlize, red bra style bikini Laetitia.

 

During R1: TE influence right away? Laetitia jabbing with Charlize, worrying that left tit while taking Theron's stick in the mouth - girls just rotating clockwise midring. End of the first minute, Casta bends in a jamming right over Theron's left shoulder - squaring Charlize' feet up with the blast - Casta's momentum carries her body into Theron's side - French girl shoves the blonde off in a rickety wobble as Charlize shakes her head. Laetitia walking her girl down: at the midway point, girls get to slugging each other in the body - Casta works her way up Theron's torso belly, breast and CHIN! Laetitia capping off a thumping series with a scorching right across the mouth, sending Theron sputtering to the ropes all glassy eyed and swooning! Down the stretch it's CASTA! BIG right hands on the left eye - Theron taking punches, going groggy, stumbling to her right as Laetitia HARMS her along the ropes. Charlize hitting the corner in a daze, taking punches, then palming Laetitia out by her shoulders - Casta just re-jigging, wading back in and looping right hands over the top as Theron sways back, letting leather explode off her beautiful face. At the bell - Charlize is ALL busted up - leaking badly from a gash over the left eye, legs locked, upper body swaying limp on her hips - Casta with a rare smile pumps her right fist like a tennis player after a huge point. Scored 10-8 without a knockdown - Theron boozy to her corner.

 

R2: Grier slapping Theron's face, desperate to bring her around, finally squeezes the cut to bring moans of pain and fresh consciousness to Theron. "Baby, you got to go after her now," says Pam - Theron off her stool with steel in her eye. Charlize flat footed, doubles up her jab, steps in with a slappy hook to the chest, then bodies up to shoulder the brunette back - Casta on her heels, not as effective. Midway through, Charlize is dialing in - she's stepping right, jamming in a stubby lead right on the jaw, then torquing her lithe hips into slashing hooks, following through tight with the fist up around her right ear - Casta starting to wilt as whippy haymakers bash hard against her skull. Down the stretch, Charlize feeling it - Casta getting rung up over and over - Theron able to step in and out, draw the jab or right hand and counter with vindictive glee with that sizzling, rising hook. It's all too much - head swivelling hook catches Laetitia as she loads up her right hand - brunette corkscrews to her hands and knees in a haze. Charlize nonchalant en route to a neutral corner, casually bangs her knee against Laetitia's temple, drawing a drowsy whine of protest. Casta takes a tipping 8 - Charlize comes rocketing in with a hurtful overhand right to the sternum - blonde bodying up hard on follow through to take her girl to the ropes. Charlize pulling out with Laetitia in disarray, LICKS that hook across the model's face and Casta spills to the canvas! It's OVER - devastating KO2 leaves Laetitia Casta slumbering on her face as Charlize stomps away in anger.

 

After: Vengeful walk of shame for Casta - Charlize' left eye effectively closed - she guides her victim around the ring with an arm around the waist, Theron's teeth clenched, bitter resentment clear on her lips. Charlize' haters have to give her credit - Theron all but out after a shellacking first, sucked it up, came stalking back and banged away to victory with a hastilly improvised back up plan.

 

"She looked shaky to me," says Jones of Theron, "the way she was taking punches worries me - she may be leg-shot, the way she was tilting out over her feet. You have to wonder about Charlize' reflexes when Laetitia Casta can hit her so easily - there may have been a price to pay at welterweight after all."
