Before: Larue’s last two fights lasted a combined 120 seconds--Jewel no stranger to the sudden stoppage herself--it’s a power punching glamour match up. Eva would seem to have more variety to her game, but Kilcher’s simple approach no less effective--one right hand from Jewel can paper over a multitude of mistakes in a hurry. Eva in red bikini, gold belly chair, wet curls, Jewel in pale blue bandeau top, navy bottoms, tight ponytail. Girls get Face on face for the stare down as neither wants to give the other any psychological edge.

R1: Kilcher unveils a sinister new technique, drawing on old time boxing for her inspiration. While Larue looks to carve out space with the jab, Jewel staying low, launches back with crushing right hands directly over the brunette’s heart--over and over again as Eva circles. Larue grimacing, feels the punches in her legs as Jewel backs her up for most of the round. Down the stretch, Eva touching up the jab, drops a slinging right hand on the jaw, slaps a left hook across the lips and drops another right hand on the eye to PUT JEWEL DOWN! Kilcher coughing up a round she had dominated, sways drunkenly on all fours and barely beats the count. Larue sending Jewel back to her corner for some smelling salts, jumps out to an early lead.

R2: Shutout Eva Larue. Heartpunch can't hurt you if it doesn’t land and Larue puts on a classic boxing clinic wheeling around her stick, touching up Jewel’s pretty face and scoring clean right crosses almost at will, Kilcher still wobbly butt from the stunning conclusion of the first, can’t get her legs under her as Eva coasts to points this round.

R3: Eva spending a minute on Jewel’s face, ramming the jab hard against those beautiful eyes, twisting the knuckles into those smooth cheeks, Jewel breaking down, plodding forward, still moving her head, but Eva finding her with tragic ease. Midway through, Eva fades the right hand, drawing Jewel forward, then pounds a crisp lead right counter onto the jaw, bending down on follow through then driving up with her legs into a short left uppercut, Head swivel Jewel--KILCHER TAKES A KNEE! Jewel glassy-eyed, beats the count, but she’s gut check territory, Eva spearing a series of lead right hands backs Jewel up to the ropes, then CRANKS a left hook to the jaw that stupefies the solid blonde, leaving her drooping to one side, hands lifeless out front of her body. Eva pouring it on, lets her hands go with that merciless Trinidad smooth--snapping lefts and rights into the head until Kilcher crumbles to her left hip and elbow. Agonizingly, Jewel climbs the ropes, fighting through the KO daze that claimed Eva’s previous opponents and beating the count on rubbery legs. Eva comes in again, but seems a little  punched out--Jewel able to cover up and take her beating to the bell.

R4: Eva piotshotting now, weight on her front foot, calmly ramming Jeweel’s sleepyt face with lead rights, sliding back a half step to pick Kilcher up with left jab. Larue with her fists out front, loose and smooth with her flicking combinations, just biting her fists into Kilcher’s bruised features as the blonde tries to regroup. Midway through the round, Larue lights Jewel up with another sensational multipoint orgy, bouncing Kilcher’s head on its neck, but Jewel refuses to quit. Down the stretch, Jewel’s firing back, driving in off that back foot to plow right hands into Larue’s heart once again, leaving Eva with a trembling lower lip at the bell.

R5: Shutout Eva. She’s just outclassing Jewel-0-using her height, judging distance beautifully, snapping punches in bunches off that front foot, hen sliding back to swat Jewel with short left hooks whenever Kilcher pushes forward. Eva loves the lead right, spanking it hard against the face, speed bagging it backhanded across the lips then slapping with the left hook. Down the stretch, Eva beats Jewel to the right cross--Kilcher’s punch sailing harmlessly over the top as her legs go dangerously at the bell.

R6: Out of the blue--Jewel posts a shutout, Eyes swollen to slits, hands low, Kilcher sucks it up, walks Eva down and pounds away with straight right hands to the heart and consecutive hooks to the t the waist and jaw. Larue stunned by Kilcher’s vitality, retreats around the ring to finish up the final minute with her butt on the ropes, hunkered down and taking as Jewel stands up to deliver. Kilcher really feasting on gut, spanking that left/right hard to the waist--Larue crumpling forward doesn’t want to expose her chest as she gasps quietly under the barrage.

R7: More competitive round as Jewel seems to have taken all Eva has to offer--Larue fighting a series of rear guard actions, scoring flashy combinations, but arm punching sand quick to bail before Kilcher can get set. Jewel still crunching home the straight right to the body, but she can’t close the distance to get in the second an third shots she needs to wear Eva down. Round to Larue as her legs win another round for her.

R8: Eva SCORCHES Jewel a wicked right hand lick to start off the round, pounding the punch in from Jewel’s left side--and Kilcher keeps on coming. Larue discouraged, loses a series of grueling exchanges that eventually sees her ropeside--and Jewel gets her head on Larue’s chest for some heavy handed gut work. Larue grimacing, trying to push Jewel off, but the blonde too entrenched, shoving and bulling her way inside and stuffing her mitts into Eva’s flat tummy. Eva with no choice but to stand and slug shoulder to shoulder--crowd on its feet as the girls hammer away in a frenxy at the bell.

R9: Larue back on her toes, now totally committed to stick and move--Jewel’s chin dictating Eva’s tactics, Kilcher coming forward, right hand at her cheek, left across her body, bobs and weaves, occasionally landing single shots to the body, but she can’t line Eva up. Larue happy to work behind her jab, steer the blonde and pocket the points.

R10: Eva looking to avoid mistakes, feeds Jewel jabs, circles, turns Jewel at the ropes and clinches whenever Kilcher gets inside, Jewel gets inside, Jewel stomping forward, has a few good moments when her bashing swings wide to the ribs seem to have Eva frozen, but larue always able to fight, move or clinch her way out of trouble. Round ends with eva bouncing away, hands in the air as time runs down--comes back a wide UD10 Eva Larue.

After: Larue dumping the kitchen sink on Jewel in the first half, ruined her blonde but couldn’t stop her--second half all about damage control and containment as Eva cruised to a clear decision. Kilcher beaten beyond recognition, but certainly paved the way for future opponents of Larue with incapacitating heart punch--nasty little surprise providing many awkward moments for classy Eva in this one. Still, Larue with too much leg and handspeed passes her stiffest test-she’s on the cusp of big money bouts with the glossiest names in the business after years of paying her dues in relative anonymity.
