Before: USS Kennedy getting refitted in Hawaii--hard working sailors/aviators getting a much deserved treat: celebrity boxing on the flight deck. Fight being  piped in live to the PPV while Jones/garner warm up. Hill stepping up in class against a veteran, but maintaining a cagey edge in size--Faith looking to fight tall, keep the hard punching Hawaiian at arms length, Stacy knows she has to make the fight, get inside Faith’s improving jab and work that blonde body. Hill in white bikini, loops between breasts and at hips, Stacy in black push up, fuzzy tiger print bikini bottoms.

During R1: Hill backing up, not really snapping out that jab--Kamano able to come forward, weave low and track her girl to the ropes. Faith tracking Stacy with the left, but not putting enough on her to discourage the brunette--Kamano getting her head on Faith’s chest, palms on Faith’s hips to establish control. Stace working short to the midsection, plugging away with either hand, connecting with plenty of forearm against Hill’s ribcage, Faith grunting, hands up around Stacey’s ears--propped up against the ropes in the final minute as Kamano hammers out the points.

R2: Faith shows god punch selection, jabbing high to get Kamano ducking, then picking the brunette up with a clanging right uppercut. Perfect delivery staggers Stacy back on her heels--Faith pursuing smart with the jab, leaning into whistling right hands to drive Kamano length of the ring. Stacy wirh her back to the ropes, digs in to fight--good wailing beat down from Hill as she stands wide, gets body twist into wrap-around lefts and rights--several good clubbing shots upside the Hawaiian’s head has Stacy woozy at the bell.

R3: Kamano one tough coconut--she’s back at Faith hard this round. Stacy in a low, Marciano crouch, rotating her torso, coming up with sweeping lefts and rights that are clouting jaw over top Hill’s outstretched arms. Faith retreating straight back again, allowing Kamano to extend and connect on these wide punches, Up against the ropes, Hill disoriented, shipping leather. She’s got her hands on Stacy’s shoulders, trying to pull her head down or shove away, Kamano busy applying the punishment: face on Faith’s chest, crossed forearms against the blonde’s belly, shoving her hips back, creating room underneath, Vicious bombardment up into the rib cage--Kamano hauling primordial leather up into blonde midsection--Hill crying out, buckling repeatedly as Stacy beats it out of her. Final minute--Hill defenseless, legs shot--Kamano taking what she wants: wide clobbering blows upside the head, juicy jamming blows packed into the belly with plenty of forearm, Hill walloped raw this round, takes 10-8 without the knockdown, but didn’t go down after all: blonde shows major league heart in taking tragic.

R4: Faith all banged up, shaky off her stool--Kamano warpping and tackling her girl into the ropes for more shabby treatment. Stacy crowding, mauling her girl. Kamano twisting Faith sideways to the ropes, throwing illegal right forearms at Hill;s left bicep and shoulder: warning from the ref. Kamano pushing her forearm up under Faith’s chin, draping the blonde back, exposing the long torso and delicious chest to brutal work: warning from the ref. Hill glassy-eyed, sliding along the ropes, getting bullied. She soaks up another one-sided drubbing this round, refuses to go down and looks a little more alert at the bell.

R5: Kamano wants to keep smearing Faith against the ropes--blonde won’t have it. Faith putting her palms on Kamano’s shoulders, putting her head down and working hard to step Stacy back to mid ring. Faith able to get the jab working a little bit, at least making Kamano paid the toll for getting inside. Stacy has the leverage once she’s on top of Hill, head under blonde’s chin, hands controlling hips, reaching underneath either Hill arm to wrap her. Kamano plugging away for another round, but signs of life from Faith as she’s not giving up.

R6: UPPERCUT FAITH! Kamano a little complacent coming in, takes that flush right uppercut in the face, freezes--Hill able to put lanky blows together off the skull to drop Stacy on her butt moments in. Kamano takes 8. Stomps forward undeterred--Hill backing up behind the don’t-hurt-me jab, fails to capitalize. Rest of the round Kamano pushing forward--Faith giving ground behind a tracking jab, hen looking to clinch as her butt hits ropes, wait for the break.

R7: Best two-way action of the fight, buit hill forced to slog away at close range--it’s Kaamno’s fight. Hill giving up her height to get cheek to cheek with Stacy--girls taking turns shouldering each other off and going at each other with crunching rights and lefts. Hill trying to turn on the right uppercut close in, cranking hooks effectively to chest and chin. Kamano trying to reach in, pulls Faith’s arms away and bludgeon that torso. Down the stretch, even round goes Hawaiian as Kamano bounces a crashing overhand right off Faith’s face--Hill staggered, straightening up--leaning away as Kamano tags her a leaping hook on the chin to send the blonde rag dolling to the ropes.

R8: Faith’s legs shot, but she’s stubborn--she’s getting into the trenches, bumping heads and shoulders with Kamano and working for room in close, Hill getting to Kamano with lanky, galloping lefts and rights to tanned tummy--Stacy grunting as she fields these blows, bending forward at the waist hurt. Kamano still getting it done out of her crouch, walloping away wide to face, slamming away short to ribs--Hill’s eyes and cheeks swollen with punishment,. Girls keep slugging after the bell--both looking a little ragged on tiring legs.

R9: Shutout Faith Hill! Hill refusing to give in, finally gets her jab on track, pounding away on Kamano’s left cheek, keeping the brunette outside. Stacy out of her crouch, trying to bat Faith’s jab out of the air--she’s looking uncertain, getting her head swiveled as Hill extends on level right crosses. Faith driving her girl backwards for the first time in the fight--things a lot easier when there’s range.

R10: back to the two-way--Kamano able to get under Faith’s stick this round--once she;s in, Hill doesn’t know how to re-establish her range, turn her girl, or tie up--she’s just fighting on country heart. Kamano keeping her forehead on Faith’s chest or shoulders, pushing in on biceps, then snatching away bat the breadbasket--Hill’s tummy band ribs taking an awful cudgeling this round as Kamano has her hard-hearted way. Faith still trying, occasionally stepping back and walking Stacy into that right uppercut--not enough on it at this point to discourage Kamano. Comes back UD10 Stacy Kamano.

After: Good win for Stacy--well-traveled brunette gambles, takes on a true lightweight and hounds her into defeat. Hill surprisingly upbeat, recognizing the fight as a valuable learning experience. BLONDE! Magazine spinning the beating as a sign of Faith’s strong will: “The brunette’s beastly punching in the third couldn’t get Hill’s long legs to quit,” reads one caption.
