Thanks to FightFan for this repost.

Before: Sporty brunettes keenly aware that this bout is perceived as a body double bout - winner comes away the 'real' brunette, the other some kind of faded carbon copy of the original. Identical styles, athletic physiques make this a pick 'em struggle, with the winner likely to be the girl who wants it most. Casino crowd of 300 catches the action in auxiliary ball room. Diane in spaghetti strap black sportsbra, red nigh cut aerobics bottoms, Brooke in spaghetti strap red sports bra, high cut black aerobics bottoms. Ponytails and forelocks for both girls.

R1: Diane wins the mind game, crossing Brooke up by coming out slugging, and she tags Langton with a series of curling right hands to the eye, putting Brooke on the defensive. Diana chasing Brooke all over the ring, breaks Langton's form down with pressure, and snaps off vicious, rising lefts and rights from her hips as Langton catches. As dust settles, Diane has her girl cut, wide eyed, and worried at the bell.

R2: Lane taking a little off the fastball, stalking and stepping with Brooke, and the two put on a masterful display of flat footed boxing with slick upperbody movement - each girl missing more often than not. In the final minute, Diane switches emphasis from Brooke's head to her body and rakes the brunette's ribs with several satisfying left hooks to steal a close round.

R3: Athleticism reigns again as the girls close to within medium/close distance, standing flat footed, but neatly slipping and punching in quick combinations. Taut stomach muscles rip into view as each girl twists and bends at the waist. Diane with a nice step in move, plants her shoulder into Brooke's stomach, then spins off to turn Langton at center ring. Brooke pivoting, catches the crisp one-two as she squares up, just a half step behind Lane. Langton getting a little puffy around the mouth as Diane begins to separate herself from her twin.

R4: Lane with another wonderful change of pace, comes out like a miniature Gena Lee Nolin, hurling right hands, bending low on the follow through, and uncoiling back with snapping left hooks to hurt and bewilder Brooke Langton. Brooke on her heels, simply overwhelmed, drops straight back and takes punches every step of the way. Lane driving Brooke to the ropes, squares up and puts together blinding lefts and rights, her fists carving up Langton's defense in blurring arcs and THE REF JUMPS IN!! Brooke Langton, punched groggy is saved from further abuse as Diane Lane jumps for joy.

After: Pick 'em bout winds up one-sided whitewash as Diane proves the original. Langton simply caught trying to guess with Lane and getting smacked silly in the process.
