Before: Field (He-Man, former Solid Gold Dancer) best known for mismanaging her fighting career almost as badly as her acting career, passing on roles that made Ten Hatcher and others big stars, now fighting for table scraps at out of the way casinos. Unger, unable to translate her destruction of Gina Gershon into a meaningful payday stays busy but is clearly unhappy at the prospect of a Chelsea Field fight. Danger of a let down for Unger in a grungy, small ballroom venue way off the beaten track at the Minniwanka reserve casino. Light blue sports bra, Navy Speedo trunks for ponytailed Deborah, black sports bra, red aerobics briefs for Chelsea.

During R1: Unger looking sharp, tests the always toned midriff of her opponent with crisp lefts and rights, coming back with a flicking jab to the face. Field letting Unger's fists play across her stomach retreats in good order, picking off the facial jabs and looking for right hands. Chelsea trying to counter Unger's left with her right cross but it's a trap: Deb draws Chelsea's right, slips to her left and drops a sweet right hand on Field's chin. Chelsea topples backwards and sprawls with hands above her head, eyes blinking. Field gets to her feet, but the ref stops this upon seeing Chelsea stagger. Field pounded out in almost a minute even, sways wide eyed on the ropes as Unger exits the ring in disgust.

After: No electronic media present to cover this event, but Deborah pours her heart out to the loan print reporter ring side, bemoaning the politics that keep her fighting at the periphery of the sport. Subtext is Unger's fear that Field is the ghost of Christmas future for her if she can't get the big names in the ring soon.
