Before: "She'll never see my chin," confident Hilarie predicts in prefight. "She's too short. Not questioning her heart or curves - Jessi brings it in her fights - but she's tailor made for me. I'll stand off her front, pick her apart and hit her hard shots - all night long." Everybody's got a plan - including Simpsy: "I'd pound her jugs - but WHAT jugs?" Jess cracks, drawing s######ing chuckles from assembled press. "Hilarie thinks she can just shell me from way outside, but I've been working on knocking out tall galoots in camp and I know I can get to her. I'm just gonna keep comin' - and I don't think she can handle the pressure!" Simpsy in pink Dukes of Hazzard bikini, small black gloves. Hilarie in black lace push up, red/black plaid swimsuit bottoms, small black gloves.

During R1: Simpsy not just rushing in - great bobbing head movement helps her scoot to position, then she's crashing overhand punches against pushy Burton lefts and rights. Hilarie misjudging geometry - getting tagged as she's leaning back - several blockbuster haymakers shake her tousled head, test her legs as she staggers away from Simpson power. Jessica ever-forward, bobbing, weaving and slugging her little heart out - she chases gangly champ all around the ring, MORE than just 'seeing' Hilarie's chin in the first.

R2: Burton wide awake now - Jessica a quivering bundle of punching power at 110 - Hilarie needs to turn it up a notch. Champ responds - much snappier jab - doubled up and stiffened - pre-empts Jess on her way in, preventing her from stepping into Hilarie with power. Burton swinging her back (right) leg round behind her to the left to pivot - turning Simpsy midring - much better ring position for champ as she circles. Burton seemingly pushing her shots, but it's just that gangly, elastic delivery - generates a lot of force once all the parts are working in unison. Good, good body shots from Hills as Jess covers up - big, splashing right/lefts spank off curvy blonde paunch, drawing snivels of protest from Simpsy. Simpson unable to hold ground - forced to back up: she's utterly ineffective when she can't come forward.

R3: Hilarie continues to track Jessica with the me-first jab: everything flows from there. Burton swivel-pivoting, keeping things midring, circling her foe and picking away at her from long distance. Jessica stubborn, mounts several head-first rushes at great cost - Burton able to walk Jessi into slanting right crosses or curling right uppercuts off the right foot - rejecting Krusher advances. Hilarie continuing to slam at Jessica's body that bandy-armed two-gun wallop - but when Burton leans back from scoring down there - Jessi's occasionally able to clout her a forget-me-not overhand wallop on the chin.

R4: Jessica's best weapon probably her mindless committment to coming forward - Simpsy constantly trying to jiggle her way in and sweep a looping right hand onto Hilarie's chin. Midway through - Jessi's stubborness pays off: Burton with one of those awkward, pushy right hands misses and slants high; Jessi steps in close, bends forward and pulls a SLOBBERKNOCKER right hand onto Hilly's mouth. BURTON'S HURT! Hills staggering away wide-eyed, knock-kneed - she makes it to ropes for support but HERE COMES JESSI! Simpson piling in - setting up head-on-chest and DIGGING amidships - Jess just pumping both arms, thrashing away rightleftrightleftrightleft as gurgling champ tries to tie up. Rest of the way like that - Burton resting on ropes, groggy - just trying to clinch - Jessica wading in after each ref's break, breaking out her baseball bat to Hilarie's long ribcage.

R5: Jessica still doing her thing - Burton managing the pressure better this round, avoiding the big shot on her chin. Hilarie showing some leggy respect - she'll stick her jab, drop her right hand, then swivel out of there - doesn't want to give Jess opportunity to time her. Simpsy getting all banged up - Hillarie's heartless jab finding face with spank, and those lanky, galloping body whacks really adding up on little Krusher chassis. Simpsy huffing and puffing with accrued damage - costing her a lot to get the odd swinging buffett against Hilly's shoulder or ribs - champ's chin absolutely out of the question this round as Burton's really judging distance nicely now. Simpsy hurt in final minute action, grimacing and wobbly butt - Burton circling, just shelling methodically away, continuing to soften her foe up.

R6: Hilly over to offence - she's got Jessica puffy, slowed at this point - easy to beat Simpson to punches and back her up now. Simpsy glum - crossing her arms, reacting late, bobbing sadly after taking fresh heat from the champ. Too much height and class - Simpson forced to work so hard and take so much risk tonight - While Hilarie controls the high ground with her legs and poke. Second minute, slanting right cross slides in over Jessi's left shoulder, turning her head - littlest Krusher hops to her right, then flops to all fours, shaking her blonde mane in stunned denial at the knockdown. Wonky 8 Jess - she's all beat up, badly shaken: deep breath Burton as she bats mitts together and wades in all big-girl to finish. Tough to watch - Simpsy covering up face-in-gloves, sitting in ropes to soak - Burton setting feet wide, lashing her long limbs in underslung trajectory: she's POUNDING at the Simpson breadbasket with a lugging, lanky delivery. Fearful pummelling shakes Simpsy, draws a pained scream from behind her mitts - that's all it takes to bring the ref in. Official shelters Jess against the ropes: TKO6 Burton in workmanlike fashion.

AFter: Hilarie shiny, working her jaw painfully in postfight - she excuses the much shorter Simpson, but not without some nervy moments tonight. "She came out gangbusters in the first," Hilarie admits, "you can totally tell she's been fighting JMD this year. She was getting on top of me before I could organize, and when Jess Simpson steps into you, she can hurt you. I'm proud of my chin - it stood up for me while I was getting my act together tonight." Hilarie, Hilarie - are short flyweights doomed with you as champ? Can ANY Kreuk or Simpson class fly hope to compete with you at this weight? "They can always HOPE," Hillarie winks, "but hope ain't a plan!"
