Before: Hand picked Aniston fit’s the bill: Wanted, one very attractive, shorter, lighter blonde to take on, but not threaten one break through French import for the latter’s US soil debut. Marceau a legend on the continent, but it’s her first tine fighting under the bright lights of Vegas and she’s taking no chances. Aniston to be sacrificed tonight as Marceau’s physical advantages, coupled with supple moves and power simply outclass the game American. Marceau in black, very low cut on-piece, shoe-lace tied up the middle--Aniston in her Rolling Stone one piece tiger suit.

During R1: Sophie showing southpaw early, looking to scoop at Aniston’s belly, but Jennifer steals the show, rocking the French pastry with batting left hooks, and Marceau recoils in hurt to the ropes, Sophie very tricky along the ropes, tucks her chin, rolls with punches and begins to chip away with little counter shots inside, but down the stretch, a frenetic Aniston pounds away at the body to bend Sophie forward and Marceau begins to tremble as Jennifer threatens to bludgeon the brunette to her knees. Aniston swinging away after the bell, is pushed away as Sophie looks shellshocked.

R2,3,4: Sophie adjusting, looking to box before hunting the body, and she methodically picks Jennifer apart in these rounds Aniston’s shortcoming become obvious; Marceau luring Jennifer forward, catches the American with a curling little right hook, then ducks low as Aniston swishes away over the top, leaving herself open to Sophie’s come-back wide left. Marceau always right in front of Jennifer, but masterfully twisting and slipping out of trouble, backing away to her right, deflecting Aniston’s blows with her shoulders, and making Jenny pay with sweetly timed single counter shots to the head. Jennifer looking outclassed as Marceau sends her back to her corner just a little bit more discouraged each and every round.

R5: Sophie has Jennifer reaching, uncertain of herself, and the French girl begins searching for the American’s midriff with scooping left hands underneath, while chopping and pestering up top with the right hook on the ear, Aniston not reacting well to the southpaw movement, unable to catch Sophie flush, and getting beaten routinely to head and body. Final minute, Sophie chopping away Jennifer’s jaw with tight right hooks from the shoulder, suddenly steps into a murderous left wide to Jen’s gut that has Aniston doubled up in trouble. Jennifer gasping and shaky legged at the bell, and Sophie flashes that cool, vicious glare as she steps back from her prey.

R6: Marceau bullying Aniston, stepping calmly inside Jennifer’s panicky right hand to pound away at the stomach with those sweeping left power shots. Aniston hurting tremble-bodied, cringes back and gives Sophie the opportunity to measure her shots, Marceau splitting Aniston’s lips in the final minute with lead right uppercuts, smacks Jen to the ropes with a clouting left along the jaw as the blonde reels.

R7: Sophie continues to hunt gut, stalking, rolling her shoulders to comer inside as Jen flails away, then pounding with force and precision to fold the blonde up. Marceau so fluid, so smooth as she steps, slips and punches in one streaming motion, but in the final minute, Jennifer rediscovers her fury and comes out of her crouch with a stinging left hook. Marceau caught cold, staggers to the ropes, and the audience shrieks as Jennifer pounds the French girl dizzy at the bell.

R8: Sophie back in control, pays Jennifer back with cold ferocity, retreating to the front of the blonde, clipping Jen as she comes forward with that tight right hook, then advancing on Jennifer with wide left hands to the mouth, breasts and body. Aniston starting to go wobbly butt, clinching and tieing up more often as Sophie body shots wear down,. In the final minute, Sophie pawing with the right jab, scorches Aniston with a single, ripping left to the sternum, rolling Jen to her back at the bell.

R9: Sophie with a hurting Jennifer Aniston in front of he, continues the methodical breakdown, but Aniston won’t go quietly. Jen swinging wide with lefts and rights, begins to catch Sophie and Marceau’s deliberate plans become a desperate battle to land the last punch. Both girls rocked as each lands big sweeping lefts and rights, and in the final minute, Aniston catches Marceau with a cracking hook on the lips that wilts the French woman on stiff legs. Sophie unable to defend herself, stares dreamily as Jennifer pounds her eyes and mouth with driving lefts and rights and Marceau reels to the ropes! Sophie with her fists at her stomach, bending forward in a pathetic attempt to dodge punches, is torn apart as Jennifer surges to the attack. Lefts and rights club in on Sophie, pounding out her mouthpiece, bashing those eyes shut, and the REF STEPS IN!!! Sophie Marceau is stunned, beaten into a stupor as Jennifer Aniston pulls off the upset. TKO9 Aniston leaves Sophie distraught, and with a long transatlantic flight in front of her.

After: Shattering upset--but we’ve seen this all before: highly touted European comes to the big stage in America and freezes under the pressure and strange surroundings. Marceau admitting to being nervous after the fight, but it’s no excuse---she simply did not execute the way her fans have seen her in the past. For Aniston, unlikely win shows her new conditioning program is working--she took a good shot in this fight, and was till punching hard and fast late in the 9th.
