Before: Intense negotiations form the backdrop for this bout, with Carter getting the big ring and full 10 round distance while agreeing to small gloves and a complicated revenue sharing scheme proposed by Hall’s lawyers. When it’s all said and done, carter enters the better overall boxer, but Hall a strong candidate all around, and eager to get into the celebrity boxing mix. Red adidas terrycloth trunks, black jog bra, long smooth ponytail for carter, teal adidas trunks, white jog bra, hair up for Hall.

During R1: Carter immediately taken aback by Hall’s apartment tactics in the first. Slipping a thumb into the waistband of carter’s trunks at her right hip--Hall controls the action inside, turning her brown shoulder into tight right hands to the jugs, stomach and jaw of Lynda at very close range. Carter baffled, slaps with her left hand, but can’t set her feet as Hall tugs her off balance, and the rights of Deidre outweigh the lefts of Lynda by a wide margin. By the final minute, Carter is captive to the ropes, drawing her arms in, tucking her chin down, and taking right hands to the body band breasts as Hall nholds and hits to the bell.

R2: Carters trainer reads her the riot act and she comes out much sharper this round. Swatting away Hall’s grasping left hand at her trunks, Carter steps left and established the trip hammer jab to the daytime stars face. Hall quickly falls into the role of pursuer, and carter boxes sweetly, setting some devastating right crosses midway through the round to put a wobbly butt on Hall. By the final minute, Carter’s setting her feet, pounding a Hearn’s left hand to the soft brown gut of Hall, and coming over the top with lashing right hands that have KO intentions, Shutout round for Carter as a bruised and discouraged hall shakes her head in the walk back to her corner.

R3: Lynda’s legs are winning this fight as she steps around Hall, feet wide apart, rocking easily back from Hall’s pushing jab, while, painting the blonde with smacking left jabs to the face. As `Deidre’s form breaks down, carter exploit’s the openings with a shooting right hand straight to the sternum or chin. With a minute left in the round, Hall starts to stagger, gloves at her face, and Lynda steps into the blondes body with pounding lefts and rights, 8 unanswered. Punishing body shots break Hall’s resolve as she sinks to one knee and waves off the fight. Wonderful stoppage for Lynda carter as she leaves Hall in tears in the center of the ring.

After: All that apartment wrestling guile wasn’t enough as Hall’s plodding footwork left her vulnerable to the very proficient Carter. Carter calls it an “easy fight” afterwards to the outrage of Hall, who claims an injury in training prevented her from shining, Publicists take it from there as the war of words lasts longer than the actual fight.
