Thanks to Fight Fan for this repost.




Before: Fight occurs during the 'Legends of Gymnastics" full contact tour. Svetlana, the scourge of American gymnasts for the last 10 years takes on the 20 something powerhouse Zmeskal in a classic boxer puncher confrontation. Zmeskal with one punch KO power in either hand anxious to lay out the occasionally fragile Russian while Svetlana puts on an ice cold facade during ring instructions. Navy crushed velvet leotard for Zmeskal, scoop front, cream and green leotard for Svetlana - high neck, six pack abs showing through the tight Lycra.

During R1-2: Svetlana one of the most fluid boxers in history, glides around Kim, slashing with left hooks and slicing with jabs, the left hand swaying in the space between the fighters, licking at Kirn's face at unpredictable intervals. Svetlana's hook seems to involve her whole body as her legs and hips curl into the lashing punches. Zmeskal for her part, crouching, chasing, all Tyson like rushes which are minimized by the smooth flowing Russian's footwork.

R3: Svetlana continuing to steer Kim with the jab, but it doesn't take much leather from Zmeskal to make this a fight. Midway through the round, booming body shots to the Russian's wasp waist nearly drops Svetlana, and she gets on her bicycle to run the rest of the way.

R4: Kim starting to get to Svetlana, hammering every punch into the Russian's body with bad intentions. A vicious right overhand to the chest sets up a jarring left hook which jolts Svetlana sideways, before she falls unceremoniously onto her butt - wide eyed with shock at the startling power of Kim. Bogi up at 8, covers up with her long arms and broad shoulders taking a merciless pounding to the bell.

R5: Kim's got the Russian hurting, and Svetlana's legs look shot as the American bullies her around the ring. Bogi with her back to the ropes, rips uppercuts in desperate loops as Kim bulls in, pounding away at anything Russian with her short, brutal hooks. Svetlana's high cheekbones begin to betray her this round, swelling badly after several clean connects from Kim this round.

R6: Kim continues the slow destruction of Svetlana, bullying the elegant Russia to the ropes, bludgeoning the waist, then looking to land the go-home punch on the chin as Svetlana bobs, leans and twists with the incoming punches. Kim walking through Svetlana's power punches, smothering the brunette for the most part.

R7: Kim walks Svetlana down, and the crowd senses the inevitable as the American chases the retreating Russian all around the ring. Svetlana backhanding Kim with slapping jabs from the hip as Kim comes bobbing in. Suddenly, with Kim reaching back for a right hand, Svetlana times the left hook counter. Whipping her body into the perfect punch, catching Kim on the side of the head, Zmeskal tumbles to the canvas as a million flashbulbs mark the occasion. Kim Zmeskal knocked cold, lies on her back, eyelashes fluttering as a stunned Svetlana looks on in wonder. KO7 for the ageless Russian, who pulls a rabbit out of the hat to stave off defeat, and a beating from Kim Zmeskal.

After: Reminiscent of Sugar Ray Robinson's one-punch KO over dominant brawler Gene Fullmer, Svetlana really relishes this trouncing of an old rival on American network television. Hard luck Kim continues her pattern of finding ways to lose, drops her third straight on the legends tour.
