Before: Fan favorourite Carpenter back after a long layoff and pregnancy—pretty stiff test for a comeback bout. “I feel great,” says Charisma in prefight, “Vicki’s tough, but she’s limited—I think my skills and smarts will more than compensate her for her muscle.” Pundits reserving judgement—CC on the wrong side of 30 at this point, involved in some unbelievable WB gym wars during her career—you have to wonder what she’s got left. Pratt establishing herself as best-of-breed by beating Cori Nadine—she’s champing at the bit to jump Charisma in. CC in baby blue bikini top, pale green bottoms—metallic pink bikini Vicki.

 

During R1: Charisma slow and supple, pointing the left shoulder at Vicki, trying to smooth around the blonde, trying to finesse her, Pratt dukes up, stepping forward behind a blocky jab, then jamming away right/left at Carpenter, Vicki not picky—she’ll hit shoulders, arms, ribs when she can’t find tummy or jab, Pratt with rigid, muscular side to side punching action, hounding and pressuring Carpenter around the ring for points.

 

R2: CC more or less looking to counter at this point—edging away from Pratt in the closed stance, hoping to turn on a timing right, but Pratt’s not having it. Vicki jabbing crudely, but very effectively, negotiating Charisma to the ropes and corners, Vicki getting low, dipping side to side to pull in jagged body shots—she’s consistently, deliberately banging breadbasket, doubting that Charisma’s all the way back downstairs. Carpenter leaning away onto her right foot at the ropes, tucking her chin, rolling punches—offering only apologetic counters and midway through, she takes a breathless knee, mouth pouted open from blonde body work. Pratt smiling happily, anxious to push back in and pound away—Carpenter clinching, hanging on to the bell.

 

R3: Vicki strong across the ring, showing the stubby jab—Charisma closing up the stance, leaning away—she’s not her old aggressive self in the face of abrupt punching fitness fury. Early ripping blow blows have Carpenter’s butt in the ropes, torso stooped forward—Vicki lights her up a clanging right uppercut that has the crowd hooting. Carpenter stunned by the shot, posing for a moment, then pitching to her hands and knees as Pratt swings away over top. Charisma badly hurt, mouthpiece dangling half out of nerveless mouth—she wants to continue, but her legs won’t listen. KO3 Vicki Pratt.

 

After: Carpenter desolate as her gloves are removed, barely landed a punch in getting welcomed back to the FCBA a cocksure blonde power puncher. Pratt just doing what she does—stepping to a girl and putting constant jarring leather on meat—CC not ready for that kind of heat yet. Vicki all smiles, mugging for the camera—fight proves that she’s more than a stepping stone for former greats looking to reclaim past glory,
