Before: Important positioning battle between elite flyweight blondes (see Archer’s comments for verbal; sparring)—BLONDE! Magazine sums it up. “Either of these girls could be champ, so it’s important for them to sort each other out while Hayden’s taking the championship from tired brunette Natalie. The flyweight division has never been so0 well stocked with talented you ng blondes—every fight between them is important for letting us know who belongs where. A fight like this one could hang on just a few punches either way—it really is too close to call.” Kristen in black push up, leopard print bikini bottoms; long ponytail with bangs framing face; small black gloves. Sarah in gold bkini; long low ponytail with bangs framing face; small black gloves,. Vixens refuse to touch gloves at ring instrux: way too much nervous hate.

During R1,2: Sarah outboxes Kris by slender margins, both rounds. Action is wide ranging—Carter with the initiative outside, stitching her jab, working in and out and around with clever footwork. Not a lot of clean contact—defensive head movement of both women exquisite—combinations whisper and skid over the top as girls trigger punches in volume, but can’t put harm on the opponent.

R3,4: Bell outboxes Carter by slender margins. Kris cutting off the ring, engaging Sarah in fiery bursts—both girls clawing rapid combinations with bared teeth/pretty scowls. Still not a lot of hot contact—punches skid off prepared defences or swish over top as girls prove slippery even toe-to-toe. Bell a  little quicker in combination—tidying up tasty on Sarah’s ribcage, Body punching the difference for Bell in these heats.

R5: Carter salts away the first half, dominating with jab/footwork. Prettier work not to be found: Sarah pivoting/dancing the ring—ponytail swishing across her backbone—eyes furrowed in hard-working little frown—stitching jab darting out in 2s and 3s, keeping Bell occupied. Sarah lands her first buggywhip right hands I against bell’s flank this round—jabbing KBell first to get her covered up.

R6: Bell responds, upping her temp, cutting off the ring behind a spitting jab, forcing more toe-to-toe engagements. Spicy body punching, Bell to Carter—Kristen ringing rights and lefts in battling tic-toc off Sarah’s lithe chassis. Sarah grimacing—spinning away: she’s taking the punches well b ut looking much less combative this round as Bell walks her down.

R7: Bell with a quick lead right off a feint, shocks Sarah to chin: while carter’s blinking buzzed—Bell hooks chin and SITS HER DOWN! Yelp of pleasure—KBell—she jogs all ponytails and grins to neutral corner as Sarah’s scrambling up embarrassed. Carter pushing into ref impatiently—she attacks, refusing to show hurt. Furious engagement midring sees Sarah deny Kris a finishing run—Carter forward, taking the fight to Bell in hungry fashion, looking to answer that knockdown. Bell a confused beauty—withdrawing by sliding her right foot back and slinking away in a crouch as Sarah comes forward churning—Carter very strong off the canvas. Big 10-8 for Bell, but not the rout it could have been: Carter seething, eyes blazing defiant at the break.

R8: Sarah still pouring it to Kris—hounding her to ropes, tidying up her ribs, working uppercuts through the middle as Krissy’s trying to earmuff-slip the work. Sarah just busy about her business, stepping-with Kris along the apron, keeping leather on her—scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing until BEL:L TAKES A KNEE! Kris blinking back the tears, mouthbreathing as she collects herself: Sarah fuming, pacing neutral corner with hands on hips. After 8: Kris sits in ropes shows earmuff: Sarah squares away, lashes out a slender-armed beatdown. Good Sarah-on-Kris violence—one blonde thrashing another as Bell rolls, slips, and stays classy in the pocket. Break: Bell clearly drained, scuffed up, slightly discouraged; Sarah wheels on her heel, drawing her ponytail across Kristen’s amazed face. Bell pushing into ref, blushing hot as Carter saunters away—leaving Kris to bleat in protest to officials,

R9: HAMMER AND TONGS! Hot two-way tossing as girls know it’s close. Shoulder to shoulder hup-hup underneath—normally Bell’s fight, but Sarah using little half-steps back to walk Bell into the fish-hook uppercut. Batting tic-tac-toe—wonderful to watch and hear—small gloves pelting away in brisk patter up and down offending chassis. Non-0stop work—carter edging Kris with just enough cutey-pie steps-outs and angle-changes to be the boss.

R10: HAMMER AND TONGS—THE SEQWUEL! Back in mouth-opn-shoulder, hustle-punching the leather into opposing breadbaskets and ribs underneath. Bell tidying up—she’s quicker in combination, really beating her mitts off Sarah’s midsection this rounf. Carter falling off the pace—trying to use her cute little spins and step-outs—but Kristen’s made the adjustments, anticipating well with her feet and staying in contact. Finale minute, Bell in there scrubbing close—she treats herself to a rare bludgeoning of Sarah’s pleasing little jugs: Carter redfaced and sniveling at the break. Comes back a UD10 DRAW as girls stand side by side, chests heaving.

After: Bitter words in aftermath as blondes push in together and start jabbering: officials move in to restore order, “Look who was hurt worse,” Sarah demands in postfight, “That’s all you have to do. She knocked me down—I bounced right back up and kicked her ass for it. I knocked her down and she wilted—took it from me like a little tramp the rest of the round. That’s it—that’s all you need to see: I win!” Bell equally riled: “You cannot reward running with points,” Kris bleats in anger. “I was looking to engage—I was making the fight—SHE was scampering! Anytime we stood toe-to-toe, you saw who was better—she had to run to survive, and a girl that does that cannot be given the benefit of the doubt!”
