Before: “I’m the better fighter,” Cindy analyzes, “but that doesn’t mean much against Naomi, Campbell would claw your eyes out if she could--you just never know what she’s going to do. You cant just box her--you’ve got to get inside and discourage her, take advantage of her looping shots. I’ll beat her, but I’ve got to be very disciplined about it--nobody can afford to take Naomi lightly.” Campbell in sleek ponytail, black off the shoulder bandeau top, boy cut leopard print trunks--Cindy messy ponytail, Hanes cotton two piece underwear, red top, royal blue bottoms.

During R1: Snarling Naomi loads up the patented overhand right-Cindy steps in strop, blocks it with a chopping motion of her left arm, both limbs shivering on collision. Crawford swivels her hips, drives her right thigh snug between Campbell’s legs--gurgle of shock as Campbell’s hips shoot back, head brought forward from the outrageous foul and Cindy goes to work. Crawford with her left forearm in flat against Naomi right shoulder and breast, shoves in a swinging right to breadbasket, steps Naomi back, reloads and drives home another right. Campbell goggle-eyed, soaking up wallop on her tummy and trunks--Cindy just punching, stepping, punching, stepping, punching, pressing up on Naomi to brace her with the left forearm, keeping her close, Campbell hits ropes in shock--Cindy tidies up on that gut with a final slamming right, then straightens Naomi, cracks her across the face a clouting right. Cindy dug in strong, controlling Naomi with that pushing left, hauling home beefy rights to the face, getting her shoulder behind short,. Drifting blows--poor Campbell out on her feet and soaking up the beating of a lifetime. Naomi helpless hands stupid at her stomach, face pounded to the side, then lolling back into position as Cindy just straps in shellack, hammering away at Campbell’s sleepy, disbelieving features. Crowd screaming for it to be stopped--Cindy just pouring in right hands, may as well be beating Naomi with a crow-bar for all the sweet science involved. Moron ref FINALLY steps in after Campbell’s gobbled up an unGodly amount of punishment. Crawford spitting, snarling as she’s pulled off her prey--TKO1 in savage, unforgivable fashion, Cindy C.

After: Crawford totally uncharacteristic--fouling Naomi immediately, piling on with low right hands and finishing with barbaric rights to her stunned opponent’s helpless face--all boxing up in arms at the outrageous conduct in this fight. “With Naomi, it’s just a race to see who can get low first and this time it was me. You KNOW she would have done the same--I just wasn’t going to be the victim this time. Let her lick her wounds for a change--I was just doing what I had to do to get oast this woman and position myself for the bigger fights ahead. I couldn’t afford to get derailed by this fight and I don’t think anybody should feel sorry for Naomi Campbell.” Stern words, but Cindy not even taking the badly mauled Campbell for the traditional walk of shame--almost as if Crawford realizes she doesn’t deserve it.
