Before: Carpenter a late sub for a supposed injured Krakowski—Knowles okays the tune up, happy for the extra work, “Jane wants to take a look at what’s comin’—no problem with me!” Beyonce chirps. Carpenter soft, but strong at lightweight, much more experienced than her young foe tonight and she’ll need to be. Knowles the naturally bigger woman, getting better as she sees more comp and anxious to make an example out of a name opponent. Beyonce with slick low blonde ponytail, green bikini top with gold loop between the breasts, yellow retro cut bottoms, yellow gloves, Carpenter in blonde bob, pale blue bikini top, silver loop between the breasts, navy bottoms.

 

During R1: Carpenter shook up by early hook on the moth—Beyonce catches her again with the hook as Charisma stumbles, juts misses a third—Carpenter woozy to the ropes. Beyonce big on the body, squaring up. giving it hard to either side of Carpenter’s ribcage—CC covering up, finally clinches for breaks. Carpenter hurt, but restarts midring behind the jab—Knowles taking on the teeth, walks in and eats a crashing Carpenter right hand on the chin—BEYONCE’S WOBBLY BUTT! Knowles stepping in fence post holes—Carpenter pushing her I the shoulders, baby stepping Beyonce backwards—right hands on the chops, left hands in the gut. Knowles digs in—Carpenter pinning her ropeside, heads and shoulders in tight. Beyonce bumping for punching room, right hand at her cheek, outworking Carpenter in close quarters with a series of gut-pumping lefts at the bell to pull out a queasy-close first.

 

R2: Carpenter looking sluggish, not recovering as well as Knowles—Beyonce in a crossed arm stance, bobbing up and down as she sweeps hard lefts and rights wide—CC caught by a concussive hook high on the head goes rubbery-legged again and has to lean against the ropes. Beefy Knowles follow up, squaring away, pounding the Carpenter midsection, forcing hurting clinches from a shopworn Charisma. Knowles taking pride in bodying up, walking Charisma back to the ropes—Carpenter known for her leg strength, getting pushed around like a shopping cart tonight and she’s visibly disturbed by it at the bell.

 

R3: Carpenter showing the jab—fight gets easier. Knowles following, right hand up to parry, left across her body—Carpenter just feeding it out there, keeping Beyonce outside, setting her up for flush right hands that test youngster’s chin. Knowles having her moments when she can hop in close—bruising work to Carpenter’s ribs has the blonde tieing up shamelessly. Carpenter turning her foe, using her legs more this round—ekes out the points.

 

R4: Carpenter starting to dictate pace—stealing initiative with her jab, bodying up to stuff tummy with hooks, pivoting to the right while judging Beyonce a left elbow and jamming at ear with the overhand right. Knowles getting through on ferocity alone—angrily hunting Charisma down, bashing at the arms and hips of her girl—Carpenter slick with her defence in tight, turning her shoulders, interrupting Knowles with the jab, clipping her clean with swatting little counters in close. Knowles gets a lesson—she’s getting off, but not getting clean touches—Carpenter picks her apart shoulder to shoulder.

 

R5: Carpenter sells it likes she’s gong to be supple and reactive inside, shocks Beyonce with a vicious right uppercut to put Knowles on one knee seconds in. Beyonce up quick, but reeling to the ropes—she’s glassy eyed, bad disoriented as the ref checks her out, Gut check time for Knowles as carpenter breaks out the bat—professional licking administered to ribs, belly and breast—Carpenter bracing with her left shoulder and elbow, clouting Knowles with raking hooks, then turning on short right hands clean to the face. Beyonce’s strong legs prop her up, but her defense is shabby, arms crossed, facing into punches—when she’s hurt, she’s just standing there to soak up more.

 

R6: Carpenter out to roll up her girl, and Beyonce shocks her with stubborn resistance. Knowles bodying up, walking Carpenter slowly to the ropes and pinning her—Carpenter not used to getting muscled like this. Knowles methodical, heavy with her work—pushing and palming Carpenter, beating belly with both fists, dipping and ripping to get the right uppercut in—Carpenter goes sullen with punishment. CC sagging in the strands, hands at her cheeks—whatever Beyonce wants, she takes. Final minute—Carpenter stooping forward at the waist, not answering back—Knowles just PUMPING  in right hands in around the elbow, finally dropping a sobbing Carpenter to all fours. CC beats the count on pride, but she’s swaying in the wind.

 

R7: Girls tie up high, Beyonce bellies Charisma one step at a time across the ring to the ropes. Carpenter forced to fight off her heels, grimacing at Knowles opens up, shovels in her punches to the midriff, clubs in the blows up top. Carpenter shows her experience, bouncing off the ropes, shoulder rolling Knowles’ wide swings, just touching Beyonce’s back and midway through, Carpenter bends to her right, pulling a swatting left across Knowles’ jaw to put the kid wobbly butt once more. Beyonce hurt, but too strong to be backed off, stands right in the pocket, gets her body on CC keeps working albeit at a groggier pace. Carpenter visibly discouraged at the bell—Knowles is sponging her biggest shots without a backward step at this point.

 

R8: Knowles shoving the right hand over Carpenters extended left,. Unhinging Carpenter’s knees, sending CC sideways. Knowles beefy at the ropes, lifting Charisma’s torso up, thumbs grinding into chest to get room, then cramming in the leather downstairs. Carpenter wilting, pushing, covering up, not punching much as Knowles bullies her. Sweltering beat down bell to bell and down the stretch: Knowles hooks the belly, hooks the belly, hooks the face and sends a startled Charisma sliding to her left along the ropes, CC takes a dazed knee rather than  duke it out—Knowles grinning, standing over her girl and taunting the veteran to get up.

 

R9: Girls wrap up, Knowles’ legs beat Carpenter’s as Beyonce slowly walks Charisma back. Carpenter with her butt ion the ropes as it has been too often tonight—she’s still cute in the inside, rolling and defending well, but Beyonce slamming away relentlessly,

pushing and propping to reset, careful not to smother herself on her exhausted foe. Carpenter achy, ashen faced at the bell—Knowles wheeling away all smiles, romping on Carpenter and loving it.

 

R10: Carpenter unpacks the jab midring, doubles it up, steps to the left—Beyonce crossing her arms, looking tentative as she tries to time her way in. Works for most of the round but final minute: Knowles countering with right hands brings Carpenter up short—CC falls in to clinch, gets caught the hook and starts to collapse. Knowles smart, giving ground in good order, letting CC stumble into punches—thumping lefts off the belly, tight right uppercuts, shoulder-turn left hooks to the cheek—CARPENTER GOES DOWN! Knowles sashaying away with hands high as CC takes a boozy 8. Beyonce piling on all smiles, beats her stupefied foe senseless to steal the round—Carpenter just tilting on the ropes out on her feet, Comes back a bruising duke, Beyonce Knowles.

 

After: Sopping beat down suffered by Carpenter, who had her moments in this fight, but couldn’t sustain the necessary pace. Knowles just walking through Carpenter’s best—Beyonce hurt several times, but refusing to let the veteran chip away at her confidence. “Man, I just took it all away from her, didn’t I?” Knowles trumpets. “She tried to box me, she tried to slug me—I just slapped her down whatever. She kept trying to walk me back and I’d stack her up—and she couldn’t believe it!” Charisma badly beaten in this fight, looking and training lie an aging fighter these days, face tells the tale: Carpenter hollow eyed in defeat. Krakowski next for Knowles—Beyonce finally making moves at sub130.
