(Downunder Boxing vs BBU Independent)
(4-8, 3 KO vs 2-0, 2 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins tries to reboot her career in beach boxing rules but Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader carries all the hype and wants to showcase her talents in Australia as well: "I'm going all network, baby! There are so many models making serious noise in celebrity boxing these days I simply can't sit on the sidelines and watch them take all the attention away! Bianca Balti learned it the hard way last time out and now I'm here to destroy Jenny Hawkins! I mean, it's not 2004 anymore! Her peak is long gone and hell, I want a piece of Krystal Forscutt next!"

Jennifer is bemused to hear those comments but she admits Brooks isn't a genuine free agent punchbag who came over for the paycheck: "Look, I know she had like two impressive wins so far. Big deal. She's arrogant like all those SI models usually are. But I'm gonna wipe that arrogant grin off her face tonight! And then she can go after Krissy! That's if she doesn't board the first plane back to USA!" (laughs).

Jennifer Hawkins wears a white bikini set with pink trim & pink gloves. Long blonde hair loose & straight. Brooks Nader wears a white bikini set & red gloves. Long dark brown hair loose & straight. Both women are barefoot. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Jennifer comes in hot to set the tone on home turf however Brooks weathers the jabbing storms and responds over the top with great success. She nails the blonde on the chin several times before looping a brutal crosser on the brow ridge to wobble the older woman back. Hawkins slumps on her heels and quickly becomes a stationary target as Nader unloads the trucking mode and pummels her from both sides to assume full control. Ugh! Jennifer scowls in pain when she eats another nasty cross on the lips and just can't swing back at the charging American. She gets pounded back to the ropes come the final minute and bellows out behind a tight earmuff while Brooks keeps piling more jabbing pressure to let the entire Bondi Beach know she means elite business here tonight!

Round 2:
Jennifer tries to match the brunette's jabbing intensity but gets outworked in close range and eats more punches up the middle as the American barks in her efforts to completely overwhelm the local favorite. Hawkins gets stuffed behind another earmuff over as she's unable to keep up with the charging foe and spins to the side when Nader rattles her with a right hook on the temple. Ugh! She drops her arms too low and gets whacked on the chin before kicking up sand in hectic retreat. Brooks reaches after the reeling blonde but just can't land her punches in the second minute. Meanwhile Jennifer looks happy to avoid the rush and lacks the response desire, she bides her time on the ropes but has to soak up more slugging once Nader squares up to her. This time the exchange is fairly equal and Brooks doesn't quite like it as she gets pulled back by the ref at the bell.

Round 3:
Brooks flies with a couple of nasty hooks but eats a crunching uppercut on the jaw and Hawkins gets back to business drilling her boobs to change her fortunes. She lifts the brunette's rack into her chin and rifles a left hook on the temple to send Nader slumping on her heels. Another left cross finds the nose and bursts the American's nostrils into a blood-seeping shock! Uh-oh! Here comes the Aussie power as Jennifer bangs more head shots while Brooks remains stunned by the sudden injury. Her head snaps back repeatedly and she's bundled back to the ropes where she disappears behind a tight earmuff and allows Hawkins to blow into her exposed midsection instead. Heavy slugs punish the brunette but she hangs on until the bell as the partisan crowd fully enjoys Jennifer's unexpected comeback!

Round 4:
Jennifer wants more slugging success and pounces on the seemingly wounded American, she nails Brooks on the jugs again but gets countered from the inside as the Sports Illustrated model steps into a big right hook to shatter the blonde's jaw! Ugh! Hawkins wobbles forward and eats another uppercut blast before Nader loops a left cross on the ear... DOWN GOES JENNIFER!!! The former Miss Universe crashes down on her backside and all that comeback hype goes up in smoke! Brooks yells out at her foe but there's more work to be done as Hawkins gets up at seven. She remains a little subdued after that knockdown and doesn't react fast enough when Nader WHACKS her with a left/right stinger on the jaw. Ugh! Another big left on the ear renders Hawkins numb and she doesn't even register the next uppercut on the jaw that SENDS HER CRASHING DOWN ON HER BUMS again! Ugh! And this time the Aussie stunner gets laid out for keeps as she drifts into the knockout daze with her eyes closed! KO4 Brooks Nader!!!

AFTER: Brooks is still upset over that nasal injury in the third and she knows she got carried away by the early success in this bout. It's fortunate Jennifer couldn't cash in on that one agressive push that exposed the SI model but Sarah Cumming refuses to put much blame on the American brunette: "She's still young and has to learn how to react to adversity. Jenny is a solid gatekeeper these days but not as fearsome as before. She got laid out but she's still a crowd favorite on the Bondi and of course she will be back! Meanwhile Brooks can focus on Krystal Forscutt! You still up for that one, B?", "Of course I am! Bring that bytch over here!", Brooks is no short of confidence she can double down on the ACB faithful. Stay tuned for this one later this month!
