Before: Comeback trail for both women after long lay offs - career set backs both in and out of the ring. Berkley in the best shape of her career since showgirls - a big and fit welter for this fight, grinning and giving a good double-keg bicep pose on the scales for the press. Not so Connelly - Jen back over 120, soft, eye popping curves at this weight, but she's always needed to be hard to be effective. Jen dismissing the chub as a factor - it's true she's got the better skills, and she'll need them - Big Liz can bang. Liz in gold curls, hair back in a messy ponytail, black string bikini top, gold bikini bottoms, gold gloves, black shoes - Jen in navy sports bra, red boycut trunks, ponytail.

 

During R1: Connelly sluggish early - she's letting Liz walk her down and get off first. Berkley palming up with the left at Jen's shoulder, drifting heavy rights to the chin and falling in to body the brunette back. Amounts to holding and hitting from Liz as she slugs and walks her girl all around the ring - sporadic action.

 

R2: More of the same from Liz - Connelly not giving the bigger girl any angles, not jabbing, and worse, hardly moving her head. Berkley pitching and falling in - it's sloppy stuff, but Connelly's giving ground. Midway through, Jen sets her feet and lathers at Liz' gut with a suddenly savage hook - Liz all flashing eyes and snarling lips as she backs away hurt, but no follow up from Jen. Liz able to tie up and slug, bodies Jen into the ropes at the bell.

 

R3: Liz back on top, riding her left over Jen's shoulder and stuffing right hands into the gut or tight to the face, always crowding in on follow through as Connelly gives it up. Jen with her white back against the ropes, getting cuddled and clobbered - eyes are starting swim as Berkley's weight, punching all starts to take effect. Grinding body on body shutout for Liz as she leaves Jen open mouthed and hurting at the bell - cheapest of cheap shots after the bell as Liz helps herself to crotch with the heel of her right hand - gets a stern lecture on sportsmanship from the ref.

 

R4: Connelly just fading to the ropes, covering up, pushing and struggling against the bigger woman's arms and body in constant contact inside. Berkley loving it - she's abusing Jen in rough clinches, putting her body on, slugging hard to the head and body, breaking the brunette down. Jen still very effective with multiple hooks when she triggers them - but offense very infrequent from her. The farther out front she gets, the more brazen Liz becomes, digging hooks below the beltline, using her left elbow liberally against Jen's face as Berkley pushes off, and of course the omnipresent holding and hitting. Deep discouragement on Jen's face as she is clearly exhausted - somebody didn't do their roadwork for this fight.

 

R5: Connelly's legs buckle early as Liz skids a hard right hand off the brunette's forehead - Berkley chasing with thudding lefts and rights as Jen stumbles sideways to the ropes. Berkley smiling, letting 'em go as the smaller woman takes a seat on the middle strand - hamhanded power to the sides and across the back set up the occasional clipping Foremanesque right uppercut and Connelly finally wobbles to one knee in a daze. Berkley clubbing Jen upside the head when she's down, prompts the ref to push the big blonde back and wiggle a finger at her. Connelly up at 8, but she's dead woman walking. Berkley caves in Jen's defense with a walking right hand between the gloves, driving the brunette hard into the ropes - Connelly in stupor, gloves limp at her lips as Liz bashes away with clubbing lefts and rights to the ears and jaw. It's too much - ref jumps in to stop the bludgeoning - TKO5 Elizabeth Berkley.

 

After: Jennifer Connelly cudgelled senseless, helped from the ring after 5 one-sided slugging rounds from a jubilant Liz Berkley. Liz having her way with a smaller, out of shape brunette - but she milks it for all its worth in hopes of setting up bigger things at 130. For Jen, a little less belly, breast and butt and she can be a force again with her body attack - sub 120's her best bet.
