Before: Both woman show up in terrific shape for this bout, looking like soft, slightly pudgier versions of their former selves. Henner talking a lot of smack before the fight, feeling that she is the only real celebrity in this fight – and it’s a common enough sentiment whenever TV journalists are involved. Joan all business during pre-fight, promising to put Henner down. Lunden in white jogbra, teal Adidas terrycloth trunks, vs. Marilu in black top, red bottoms.

R1: Henner on top of Lunden early, swings away from close range, backing the blonde up with sheer heat. Lunden does a good job picking off most of the blows, and by the end, has found a sweet spot for her left hand counters, banging the punch solidly off Marilu’s wide open jaw.

R2: Joan takes the fight to Marilu’s soft body, and the brunette simply stops punching. Lunden able to lean on Henner, put her head on Henner’s chest and pound away with workmanlike blows to the pudgy midriff. Henner wobbly-butt midway through the round, and finishes on the ropes with a grimace of concern as she holds Lunden around her upperback and neck.

R3: The woman fall together, and Marilu snaps Joan’s head around with a wild right hand. Henner slow to follow up however, and Joan circles, gets her legs back, then dips back inside to work the body of the actress. Lunden known for her temper, pounds mercilessly at the red trunks of Henner, putting the actress on her toes with several fouls. Punching after the bell, the women must be separated by the ref.

R4: Toe to toe trading is sustained for almost a minute until Marilu’s will cracks. She staggers away, unable to take the head, and Joan stalks after her, looping in hard overhand rights to hurt Henner. Chasing the brunette to the ropes, Joan pounds the gut with swinging lefts and rights, then stuns Henner with a shoulder butt – right cross combination. Marilu staggers forward, badly hurt, and Joan stacks her up with another shoulder, capping off with the short left hook. Henner drops as though shot, and can’t beat the count. Stunning KO for Joan Lunden.

After: Marilu positively sheepish after getting beaten like a red headed step child by the deceptively rough blonde. Lunden a solid senior package just too rough for Marilu in the trenches.
