Before: Portman brazenly calling out the classiest blondes in the division, gets an answers quick as Danesw all too eager to comply. "She's got a little Britney Spears Syndrome," quips Danes, "Natalie thinks money wins fights, when, really it's the other way around. She's improved a lot, which is to say she;s become a mediocre boxer and I think this fight will demonstrate that all too plainly." Undoubtedly a good test for Nat--Danes pretty much barring the door for any ambitions Portman might have at 110. Natalie in red bikini, head braided, bunned back, Danes in black bikini.

 

R1: Portman coming forward, elbows in, stabbing out straight shots, keeping that right hand at her cheek as she slices forward. Danes more supple--palming Natalie's chest and arms. sliding off to the side, bending at the waist, pivoting around that lead foot. Nat doing most of the effective work, but midway through Danes slipping and bobbing, makes Portman miss half a dozen chopping shots then wallops the brunette's jaw a slinging left out of the crouch. sending Natalie wobbly butt a few shaky paces. Portman recovers well, Danes not pressing the advantage, but Claire steals a brunette round with the well-placed counter.

 

R2: Claire continuing in a selective, defensive mode, maybe a little too patient as Natalie outworks her. Portman on wide spread feet, right hand up, shooting jab, straight right hands--she's not doing much damage, but she's keeping Claire off the score sheets this round.

 

R3,4: Danes shifting so smooth from defensive to offense, making Natalie miss, clouting her a loose-limbed hook or skidding straight right, then taking over as Portman covers up, Danes putting together several lathering sequences throughout these rounds, working the Portman waist as Natalie stands with guard high, finishing up witrh scoring blows on the chin around the brunette's wrists. Natalie steadily beaten up for 6 minutes--tentative with her punching as result of sharp, accurate counters from the blonde.

 

R5: Natalie shows heart, doubling up on thumping lead rights between the breasts to back Danes up early. Portman working very efficiently, curled forward slightly, shoulders hunched, pnches are straifht, compact and she's putting them together to break down Dane's D a bit. Claire taking more punches than she has, but seemingly unfazed.

 

R6: Natalie's best round--Danes getting nailed right hands on the mouth and chest as she backs ip and looking surprised at the touches. Claire getting cut off, forced to trade--young brunette equal to the task as slender bodies hunker down to torque in whippy wide hooks and slashing right hands. Spanking back and forth, slender bodies shining up under hot light, neither girl givingt ground as Portman gets the better of bruising trade.

 

R7: Portman emboldened, starts leading with hooks and crosses and Danes has a field day off the counter. Claire's timing exquisite--she's running Natalie into stiff right hands, clapping left hooks, just beating the brunette to punches as Portman walks into trouble. Danes pivoting away low around that lead left foot, pushing her elbow onto Portman, nudging and jostling the brunette as her legs start to shake. Portman struggling valiantly but its' all falling apart--when she leads, she gets picked apart--when she covers up--Danes steps in and gets off with those licking 5 and 6 stroke bursts head and body. portman all tuned up at the bell--ugly red blotches about her ribs and lowerr back testimony to the work of Claire's fists.

 

R8: Natalie strokes back! Portman absorbs her beating well. comes out sharp, jabs Danes off balance and lands a banging right cross to start off the round. Claire stubnorn, taking Natalie's resistance personally--more slender limbed slugging as the girls takes turns lathering away with multi-punch licks. Punching continues on after the bell--both girls jazzed from harsh contact.

 

R9: Danes elbows in, bending at the waist, pivoting loeft--she;s got Portman winging and missing and 30 secoinds in a vicious left hook counter swivels Portman's head, leaving her destitute. Natalie stunned--Danes gets heartless, Claire with her elbows pinned to her flanks--she's punching with her torso, swishing and swatting lefts and rights, beating Portman to the ropes and POURING it on. Claire just a-swabbing away--Natalie swooning, gloves weak about her ears, helpless to stop the punishment and the REF STEPS IN! TKO9 Claire Danes.

 

After: Danes struts away from a battered Portman--Claire smiling, nodding in acknowledgement--just a very professional dismantling of a game opponent. Afterwards, Claire shocked to learn this fight TIED going into the ninth--Natalie's honest work ethic keeping pace nicely until the sudden finish. "I'm just glad I stopped her," breaths a relieved Claire, "I can;t believe they were thinking of robbing me like that! Portman's a nice little fighter, but come ON. I was hurting her throughout the fight, really punishing her--there's no way she was hanging even with me." Portman all lumped up and definitely looking the worse for wear--but she's gracious in defeat, "Danes really taught me somethig tonight. I think I showed I can compete at the highest level of the division and I know Claire and I are not done with this." Comparisons not loost on boxing insiders--Danes pushed Kelly Packard for room in this division--Portman looks to be doing the same, with similar contempt from the woman on top.
