R1: Dana boxing early with Helen, trades jabs, fights for position, then goes inside to work. Delany with her weight forward, has Hunt on her heels-Helen forced to clip her shots and try to catch Delany coming in, but redhead working the flanks, moving her head squeaks out the points toe to toe.

R2: Early boxing action dominated by Hunt this round as her jab shuts Dana down, Helen moving inside at the midway point rings up Dana’s ribcage with curling lefts and rights--Delany grimacing, backing up under pressure, but stays in contact, Grueling contest develops with the girls twisting one another off balance, jamming fists into bellies or ribs in cheek to cheek trading. Round to him in general. Helen able to get off then smother effectively—Dana looking distance at the bell.

R3: Dana wins the early jockeying for position phase, but as the fight moves inside again. Hunt takes over. Helen methodical, using a right uppercut in tight to stagger Dana repeatedly, hen draping the left around Delany’s neck to pull her off balance, fold her inti headlocks, and control for her in general.

R4: Delany turns puncher, anticipating Helen’s opening minute of boxing. Hunt stepping and jabbing.
