REQUESTED BOUT

Before: Two evenly matched midcard brunettes with the potential t crack the top ten given some consistency. Lane the more compact style—everything is short punches following jerky bibs to either side while Jeannie is the more fluid, looser limbed girl. Lane with the flat footed stance has more power, but this one’s a pick’em down the middle, Faux Indian bikini and moccasins for Tripplehorn, black bikini, white sneakers for Lane.

During R1-3: All Diane Lane as she banks round after round to open the fight with constant pressure. Tripplehorn on her bicycle early, wants no part of the chopping windmill of lane’s fists, and runs herself right out of the scoring with lack of aggression. Neither girl hurt: Jeannie due to defensive movement. Lane due to Tripplehorn’s reluctant attack.

R4: Diane finally cuts off the ring and hems Jeannie into one quarter of the ring, bobbing to either side and slashing with short lefts and rights ala Sumya Anani. Midway through the round, Lane misses the right hand, but bends back into a short left that rocks Tripplehorn back to the ropes. Jeannie hurt, Lane going to work with slicing lefts and rights, but Tripplehorn’s subtle defense in close is exquisite. By the final minute, Jeannie is tagging Lane with counters, and she lights Diane up with that slick left hook, putting her wobbly butt with a minute left on the clock. Not known for her power, Tripplehorn nonetheless puts a merciless beating on Lane. Shredding her with fluid combinations, one punch flowing into the other in such a way as to set up the left hook power shot. Lane shellshocked at the bell, drops hger first round in the best two way action of the fight.

R5: Jeannie takes over the momentum of the match with that licking jab, changing speeds on it, and constantly turning it over into that machine like left hook, dropping Di quickly to all fours for an 8 count. Diane comes off the canvas strong, going to Jeannie’s body with clubbing lefts and rights, but Tripplehorn keeps her composure, fighting slickly off the ropes, and jerking Diane’s head around with well placed counters. By the final minute, Lane is staggering and eating hard leather once again as Tripplehorn simply wears her down with flush connects to the chin and ribs.

R6: Lane now looking sluggish, shopworn,  wades forward as Jeannie dances, fighting on her toes, swatting at Lane with 3 and 4 punch combinations, then skipping away to reset. Lane following, continues to get caught by that sweet left hook, and she isn’t taking the punch well any kore. Jeannie finishes strong, pinning Lane to the ropes and working her over with slick combinations to the bell.

R7: Tripplehorn walks confidently out of her corner, arms at her sides, leaning towards Lane and bending her back effortlessly to make the brunette miss. More of this taunting action follows, until a single wide left from behind the hip sweeps Lane to her hands and knees as Tripplehorn dances away. Diane beats the count, and stumbles forward into a loose limbed barrage of uppercuts and hooks as Jeannie looks to finish. With Lane’s head snapping dangerously back and forth, Tripplehorn steps into a crushing right uppercut, lifting Di onto her toes, then dropping her slowly to one knee in a haze for the second knockdown of the round. Lane is clearly out of it, but she struggles to her feet once again only to meet with the will o’wisp as Jeannie circles and pops the jab. At the bell, a swollen faced, dazed Diane Lane returns to her corner, and upon consultation with her trainer and physician, elects not to continues to the fight. Jeannie Tripplehorn records the 7th round stoppage, beating a very game Diane Lane into submission.

After: Tripplehorn not a big puncher, but from the 4th round on was hitting Diane with an avalanche of powershots, in particular the very smooth left hook which finally overwhelmed Diane. Lane tough as they come, simply couldn’t continual pounding, and Jeannie is delighted with having made another woman quit. It’s a consummate performance for Tripplehorn, offense and defense, body work as well as head hunting.
