Charlize Theron vs. Gena Lee Nolin (XIII)

 (REEBOK/PARAMOUNT WELTER TITLE UNIFICATION) by simguy 7-26-03

Before: Classic FCBA rivalry - throw out the statistics, this thing's all hate and personality driven.

"Charlize can't stand the fact that GLN is considered one of her greatest rivals," says one BLONDE! magazine contributing editor. "She just can't accept Gena as any kind of a threat or equal and it wrankles that their names are still linked in a lot of people's minds."

Nolin making weight and looking great - cushy, but firm - she's nodding, smiling, slapping her left bicep in pre-fight - all big bad blonde.

Charlize not playing the weight game: "I'm not going to beat Gena by being bigger than her - I'm going to be better than her, faster, prettier, smarter. I'm going to carve it up on this turkey and maybe get it through to her once and for all that I'm the mountain she just can't climb."

Theron in cream string bikini, Italian Job ponytail - Gena in sturdy white bra style bikini, battle braid and messy fore-strands.

Rd 1: Gena flat footed, moving forward, pushing a brawny left to measure and trying the overhand right like an axe murderer early. Theron raising her arms and legging back - reading the punches well, using the ring. Charlize dancing left or right, changing up directions, flicking jabs, slicing lead rights, not sticking around for the receipts. Theron's legs keeping her safe - she's not hurting Gena, but she's swatting and poking, nibbling effectively, keeping her distance and fading the haymakers well.

Rd 2: Charlize shows she's been watching tape - accepting Gena's monster bull rushes body to body, retreating into the ropes and holding the big girl for breaks. Nolin frustrated by the tactics, but can't get unstuck - Theron able to regroup at midring, get sexy behind her jab, leg away from heat and pick her spots to slap her opponent's face. Charlize looking to sneak in a slick lead right from the shoulder, bending into the shot, timing it under Gena's big overhand - Nolin painted up through 2.

Rd 3: Ain't broke don't fix it - Charlize dancing, lithe on the outside, sidestepping and turning Gena, embarrassing her below the waist. Midway through, Nolin with a series of clubbing overhand rights drives Charlize to ropes as Theron defends high - Theron turning to her left and Nolin leans into a CREAMING right that finds the chin over Charlize' left shoulder. CHARLIZE ON HER BACK! Dropped like a rock, lying stiff, parallel to the ropes, hands at her sides as she stares upwards - OH what a shot! Nolin exulting around the ring - thumping her chest - her back is turned as Theron somehow climbs the ropes to get to shaky feet. ON COMES GENA! Nolin storming in from the neutral corner, bodying woozy-shabby Theron into the strands, wrapping her in a brawny left arm and plundering what's left with heartless, hamhanded rights. Charlize taking in the body with a blank, cramped expression, just staring, mouth pouted open with boozy little whimpers. Charlize taking to her tits with no expression, wilting into the ropes, trying to keep her feet. Nolin palming Charlize' ribcage to brace her, then drifting her chin lefts and rights, falling in on follow through, pushing and jostling to reset. Swarming brawl leaves Theron swaying, in tatters, but still around at the bell.

Rd 4: All Gena Lee - Theron's legs are gone - she's wounded prey along the ropes. Nolin stepping with and walloping right hands over the top - Theron blocking them with desperate raised lefts but being clobbered into the corner. Nolin marching on devastated blonde, bodying up, wrapping up either her right or left to work the free mitt plugging to body or short to jaw. Theron limp, but rolling with punches - some defensive sensibility as she ties up, clinches around Gena's brawny arms, does what she can to survive. Frustration evident late as Nolin can't get Theron out of there - she puts her right shoulder into Charlize while tieing up Theron's right arm, stacks her in the corner and drives the point of her right elbow into Theron's sternum. Hacking cry of pain from Charlize as she slumps - Nolin bodying her back, smothering her wide-body and fitting a mean left hand wedge into the trunks while screening the ref. Charlize sobbing out, eyes closed as she clinches up around Nolin's neck - Gena grinning as she buries her face in Theron's long neck, going to the belly with a brawny 2 fisted knead at the bell. Ref pulls beefy Gena off and NOLIN LANDS LATE! Cheap, cheap left hook catches and dazes Charlize at the bell - stern finger waggle from the official, because hitting after the bell is wrong.

Rd 5: Gena marauding, smiling, hounding Theron. Charlize getting a little leg back - she's reeling slightly when she has to bail on Gena's right hands, but the jab is back, starting to track Nolin, pre-empt her. Final minute sees Charlize stand her ground, time a few of those sneaky right hands inside Gena's rights - it's risky, but Theron ducking low on follow through gets away with it.

Rd 6: Theron in retreat, batting at Gena's swinging punches, luring Nolin across the ring. Charlize turning at the ropes, pretty to her right, licking a come-along hook against Gena's jaw as the big girl lumbers after. RIGHT HAND! Theron stops, drops in a bending right on the chin and GENA'S HURT! Nolin staggered, walking into a wallop - she's stunned. Theron flat footed but springy legged, taps a jab to Gena's nose while shifting right and CRACKS ANOTHER RIGHT HAND UPSIDE THE HEAD! Nolin standing there, getting shellacked, hands out stupid - Theron stays on her. Jab to the belly and another drifting right hand across the mouth - Nolin finally baby-stepping backwards, blinking into the punishment. Charlize punching off the hop - chopping the left, chopping the right, driving Nolin ropeside. Theron squares away, eyes blazing - Nolin murky, still pushing her arms out pathetically while butt-riding the ropes - Charlize lets her hands go. Long, licking lefts tear away at Gena's right eye, rifling right hands between the eyes, bending right hands against the jaw - Theron getting lashing leverage, twisting her torso and hips into the punches - it's hellishly beautiful to watch. Nolin just hurt and not responding - digs in her body get her to flinch, stiffen, punches on her head have her swaying but not going down - it's a brutal, brutal beating and THE REF STEPS IN! Gena Lee beaten raw, in stupor, doesn't know what's happened - TKO6 Charlize Theron!

After: Sobbing release from Charlize as she drops to her knees, hands reaching to the sky - so hurt herself, so ready to go under Gena's pounding - Theron pulls out a remarkable all-or-nothing effort to use Nolin up with a ferocious squall of punches. Nolin out on her feet when a rampaging Theron comes for her - no love lost tonight.

Nolin gets draped chest first on the ropes so Charlize can treat herself to those heavy, meaty buttocks with clapping rights, but that's the warm up. Nolin's jammed chest-first into her corner, left leg propped in the middle strand as Charlize clambers up and poses over her back, gloating and roaring at an appreciative crowd. Theron taking the time to pack Gena backwards into the turnbuckle, re-prop the leg and climbing to pose again, stomach hard against Gena's slackened face. On and on, Theron at her most sickening, Nolin slackjawed and helpless to prevent the torment.
