Before: Semi-private bout sees two brawny gals get it on. Lange with more variety, and strong enough to stand in with Carson, but Lisa’s Tyson-like speed and power figure to be too much. Converted L.A. aerobics facility houses the ring and guests--LNC in red armless leotard, grey stretch leggings to the knee, Lange in blue adidas terrycloth trunks over white armless leotard, 8 round limit agreed to by both women.

During R1: Cocky Carson walks Lange down with a swarmy grin, but Jessica bangs the jab/cross routine off Lisa’s face, then clinches to turn the slugging brunette. Carson unable to set her feet, getting beat to the punch then tied up, looks confused early, and midway through the round, Jessica Lange begins HARMING Lisa with right hands. Carson wobbly butt, struggling forward as Lange calmly drills her straight to the face with icy right hands, busting Lisa Nicole up and leaving her defenseless, Down the stretch, all Jessica Lange as she walks Carson to corner then opens up, bringing the rising left hook into the mix, and Lisa is battered from one foot to the other, face blank as her head is smashed back from side to side and LISA NICOLE GOES DOWN!! Bleary eyed, LNC goes to all fours, searching pathetically for her mouthpiece. She beats the count, but the round ends to the sound of Lange’s bludgeoning fists pounding into the soft gut and torso of the brunette.

R2: Carson a battered shell of the woman who began the fight, blunders straight out and meets Lange at center ring with vicious short right hand that curls hard into Jessica’s sternum. LANGE IS HURT! Jessica wobbling clinching for dear life, is able to smother the still shaken Carson and work her over with uppercuts on the inside, fight bogs down into sporadic punching amidst extending waltzing as the girls clutch one another--slack-jaw and hurting to the bell.

R3: Lange’s big white legs still jiggling, but she plants the lead foot and jabs with authority, rejecting Carson’s half-hearted advances. Lisa dipping in, is punched back ghalf a dozen times, and fails to take advantage early. Down the stretch, the women fall in together, and Carson able to fight off Lange’s chest, pounding the blonde between the hips to take a close round.

R4: Jessica playing it smart, forcing Carson to eat a jab on the way in, pounding the short right and into the face, then clinching for a break. Lisa not busy enough, or elusive enough, simply  walks and falls in, allowing the clinch and getting walked around the ring. Carson’s left eye horribly swollen after 4 from countless flush Lange right hands.

R5: Lisa with a semblance of ferocity, swinging with fierce left/rights, but soon falling into the same old rhythm. Lange winning the tactical battle, using the jab to disrupt Lisa, the right hand to beat Carson to the punch, and the clinch to move Lisa’s feet. Masterful blunting of Carson’s attack so far from Lange.

R6: Carson slowing down visibly, mouth breathing as Lange bangs home that stiff left jab, takes a half step back from Carson’s right and counters with vicious right hands to the chest and chin--seemingly at will. Lange busing that little step back brilliantly has Carson walking into the right hand with head-jolting force.

R7: Shutout Lange as she has the bully hurting, beaten up, and uncertain. Carson shows no sign of the once-feared destroyer as Lange stalks, jams the jab home hard, and bodies up to walk Lisa into the ropes. Final minute sees Lange open up again, pounding Carson along the ropes. A savage rip to the gut brings Carson’s hands down and Lange is able to land another crushing right hand on the mouth to leave Lisa tremble-bodied at the bell.

R8: Carson wakes up, and Lange takes a holiday., Lisa finally able to move her hands, but she’s got precious little left as Lange sits on the ropes and coasts. Jessica clinching shamelessly with the lead on the card, pulls Lisa’s head down behind the neck, or holds Carson tight around the elbows as Carson fights off Jessi’s chest from bell to bell, Decision comes back the unanimous duke for Jessica Lange.

After: Carson leaves the ring in a daze, barely able to comprehend the thorough beating just doled out to her. Classic big bodied boxing from Lange, using just enough offense, exposing Carson’s walk-in style and putting hurt on Lisa early to take her heart out of the fight. Bullying the bully--without intimidation on her side, Carson came dangerously close punking out in this fight.
