Before: Battle of hard-hitting bantams features wildly contrasting body types and styles. “Grace can’t hurt me,” Brittany confidently assess in prefight, “She’s an odd duck—lanky pressure fighter—but she just doesn’t have the raw beef to threaten me. I feel good about this match up: KO1 good!”

Park outbeefed, but not intimidated by her brawny blonde foe. “Daniel’s got a million dollar body and a five cent head,” Grace quips, “People don’t think I hit hard until I’ve hit’em about 100 times—then they start to worry. I’m not looking to take Brittany out—I just want to be touching her, backing her up and discouraging her, I’ll let her oiwn mind do the rest.”

Daniel in scarlet bikini, slick low ponytail—white gloves. Park in evergreen bikini; black gloves; hair in slick low ponytail.

During R1: Brittany relaxed—leaning forward in earmuff, deliberately trying to draw head punches, blocking those countering. Brittany stepping out, smirking—showing 2 jab looks: up-jab rigid off the hip: straight, corkscrewing jab off the shoulder. Stop and go action as Brit circles, stops to block in her sturdy earmuff, then attacks in spurts behind her jab, Grace thoughtful, showing respect: she’s challenging Daniel’s high guard, pounding one-twos against it, often eating a hook as Brit counters off the block. Park exploring the Daniel midriff: triathlon abs impervious early—Grace batting her way up and down Brittany’s flanks in spots. Lively stuff—both girls finding their rhythm: Daniel looks to be dictating.

R2: Grace solves Brittany’s peek-a-boo earmuff with uppercuts—picking up Brit’s chin, then doling out hooks as Daniel stumbles to her left. Brittany a little rung up—disengaging and legging the ring to clear her head: Park’s rangy power disrupting the blonde this round. Daniel stays in her bicycle—Park walking blonde down akk over the ring, unable to cut Brittany off, but taking clear points.

R3: Grace hooking off the jab, batting rigid, ringing left hands off flank and ear: Daniel stunned again in early going. Brittany spooked—stepping out and recalculating on the fly: Park a more dangerous hitter than originally anticipated. Daniel’s legs peerless in defence—she bounces, feints, scoots, pivots, slides—luring Park to ropes, then spinning ‘round her: very cute. Park glaring—walking Brittany down: Asian lands plenty of batting leather to flanks and some rangy hooks off the temple, but can’t hurt Daniel again. Another round for Grace as Brittany elects to move more than punch.

R4: Grace hurts Brittany with hooks again—touching blonde ribs to set up the head. Daniel sputtering to ropes: Park able to close, square up, keep her girl pinned down—working Brittany over this time. Rangy, lathering hooks doing most of the work, punctuated with jolting straight rights up the middle, punching back Brittany’s face. Daniel stunned and stunned again, getting strafed: she muscles up, starts slugging wide lefts and rights into Grace’s slender ribs. Crowd roars as Park absorbs sock, stands her ground and continues toi rake rights and lefts across Daniel’s front: Brittany on her heels, getting pasted, but answering back hot at the bell.

R5: Brittany toe-to-toe, slugging it out with Grace. Girls dipping down, then getting off in rhythm—back and forth action—vicious punches bouncing off skulls, shoulders, ribs. Park proving adept inside, despite her rangy frame—she’s getting her left elbow up, pushing Brittany off, snatching back at her tidy. Daniel also muscular with the left elbow/shoulder, bumping the slighter Asian and slamming heavy punches to body and breasts. 2 minutes mostly Daniel backing Grace up on thudding fashion, but down the stretch, Park with the raised elbow-push sets up a glorious right uppercut, punching the mouthpiece off Daniel’s teeth! Brittany suddenly aswoon, tilting forward behind her gloves: Grace bares teeth, deploys hooks in a batting array, beating Daniel in a little staggering semi-circle left. Bell wobbly butt, glassy-eyed: repetitious Park power-punching having an accumulative effect through 5.

R6: Darting lead right stuns park between the eyes: while she’s on her heels—Brittany scoots ‘round to her left, turning Grace. Park regrouping, dukes up—Brittany prowls to her right, feints, then lunges in, scoring another flush, clean lead right to Grace’s face. Park rung up, head rocketing straight back: Brittany scooting ‘round Grace’s left flank while pushing Park with both hands. Striding walk to the right, Brittany, eyes narrowed—she feints, fades back as Grace edges forward, coming up shirt with the jab. LEFT HOOK, BRITTANY DANIEL! Brit walks Grace in, checks her chin—pivots ‘round her hook to the left and PARK PITCHES TO HERFACE! Grace sprawling, trying to push herself up off her chest—she almost gets to her feet but stumbles forward into ropes, falling down again. Park up at 10, but ref’s waving this thing off. Stunning TKO6,l Brittany Daniel.

After: Relieved Daniel puffy faced and well-touched tonight: brawny blonde able to withstand plenty of Grace park punching before drawing the final bead. “She hits a little harder than I thought,” sheepish Brit admits in postfight. “But I was never seriously hurt—she couldn’t get me off my feet, and I got more and more used to her punch as the rounds went on. She was kind of a predictable coming in on me, so it was just a matter of time—once I caught her with me ‘A’ leather—she had no choice but to go.”
