What started out as a somewhat laid back Hollywood cocktail party rapidly escalated into name calling and taunting when Lela Rochon began nicknaming Valerie Bertinelli 'Lil Twink' over and over as they were facing off in their first official meeting ever. Each was familiar with the other but it quickly became obvious that neither had a great deal of use for the other.

“You know ‘TWINK’," continued Lela. “I have to wonder how you ever did as well as you did in show biz.”

“Well, what's YOUR claim to fame there hotshot?” countered Valerie. “I don't see any academy awards hanging around your neck!”

“Listen there twink,” fired back Lela. “What I will do is hang your little ass out to dry. Want to taste some leather in the ring with me? I'm in a bad mood and fixing to kick some ass anyway. Might as well be yours... twink!”

Valerie was game although her old pal Bonnie Franklin didn't like the looks of this at all. She warned Valerie that she might be getting in a tad too deep. Lela's almond shaped eyes were glowing in a menacing way and, at the same time, enticing Valerie to show what she was made of and Valerie accepted.

Two months later they were in the ring at Caesar's palace. Valerie took off her robe and had on nice blue briefs which showed some good solid legs for a now 44 year old. 40 year old Lela wowed ‘em in her white bikini. It was time to 'get it on'.

Round One
“C'mon twink, lemme see that spirit,” taunted Lela as she fired a solid left to Val's face. Valerie came on with a good body attack with her fists shooting like pistons into Lela's gut. Lela winced. “How's that for some Twink shots there Rochon?” smiled Valerie. Lela unloaded a left/right combo and sent Valerie down on her ass. Valerie was up but knew she'd been hit. She stood toe to toe with Lela in the middle of the ring and the ref had to pull them apart as both scored with savage head shots.Lela wins round one.

Round Two
Valerie is told to 'take charge' and she bores in again with an aggressive body attack as her fists find their mark in Lela's midsection again. Lela bends in pain and Valerie tags her hard with a great right uppercut. Lela stumbles backwards but does not fall. She responds by lending a powerful left hook to Valerie's jaw which makes Bertinelli's legs buckle. The crowd is eating all this up. Lela hammers Valerie again with combinations to the face and Bertinelli's face is swelling. Lela is confident but Valerie is soldiering on. Slight advantage in round two to Valerie.

Round Three
They keep on hitting each other and Lela's face is swelling up as well. This little 'Twink' is a real handfull. Valerie mounts yet another body attack. Rochon is feeling the blows as Valerie doesn't miss. Valerie is disciplined and, time and again, slips Lela's hard punches. They battle furiously and sweat caroms off of Valerie as Lela nails her hard with a vicious right cross to the jaw. Valerie's head spins. This is the shot that was carried in the morning edition of the L.A. Times. Rochon clobbers the game Valerie who is getting a bit arm weary now. She’s beating Bertinelli to the punch but Valerie has enormous pride and fights on. She’s finally hammered to the canvas for an eight count but the crowd is pulling for her as she drags herself up.

Round Four
Both gals are in deep respect for one another now. No more 'twink' stuff from Lela as she absorbs four clean blows from Valerie. Lela stumbles slightly but she stays up. Suddenly, Lela’s mighty right strikes paydirt in the form of Valerie's jaw. Valerie is glassy-eyed as she backpedals and Lela connects with a big left hook, then a right cross! Valerie's legs are bowed and buckling as she’s literally out on her feet. Valerie throws punches at a non-existent target as Lela sidesteps, then watches as Valerie topples over, straight down to her knees, then pitches forward on her face…out cold!

The crowd cheers lustily as Lela administers smelling salts to her beaten opponent. “Hey Gal, great fight!” she says to Valerie. “You got game lady!”

“Thanks,” replies Valerie. “Congratulations. You won and I'll put your robe on for you.”

Valerie does this in a gesture of being a good sport, then stands next to her conqueror as more pictures are shot of them. Bonnie Franklin is proud of her television daughter who gave it her all and came up short. Lela leaves the ring after Valerie, her gloves raised high. It's been a hard earned, but satisfying, win for her.
