Before: CMT throws their hat in the celeb boxing ring, sponsoring their first bout with country video sensation Shania Twain, despite most of the promo type going to twain, most pundits outside of the vent figure the match illustrates CMT’s lack of experience in the hurt business, and many figure Jewel to simply overwhelm the very quick and capable twain with power along. If so, CMT’s money will have been spent for naught. Jewel wears blue cotton high cut trunks, grey cotton jog bra, Shani in red bottoms, black jog bra.

R1: Maybe CMT knows more about boxing than anyone realizes, Shania shows off her hand and foot speed, looking at times like a Johnny Tapia, doubling and tripling with the jab, short right hands from the shoulder, digging left hooks to the body--then out and gone as Jewel steps forward, Shania shuts Jewel out this round, proving almost unhittable as she stands in front of the heavy handed blonde, moving her head and torso to slip incoming with ease.

R2: Jewel manages to land a rising Aicha Lahsen type right hand to the jaw of Shania, lifting the little brunette to her toes, but Shania shows country girl grit in soaking up the bigger girl’s punches. Shania comes back with a vengeance showering Jewel with blurring lefts and rights in combination, then in a perfectly timed counter, slips an awkward Jewel right, comes back with a short right uppercut and puts Jewel on the desk as Kilcher’s feet got out of position. Jewel stands, unhurt, but she is getting her can kicked in terms of sheer boxing ability.

R3: Another shutout for Twain, as she continues to dominate the fight with sheer speed. She opens up a small cut over Jewel’s left eye with a pair of sizzling right hands, then simply has her way with the Alaskan as Kilcher seems confused, Kilcher’s bigger body absorbs Shania’s blows well enough, but she can’t find any offensive strategy that will work.

R4: More Shani Twain speed and boxing, She lights  Jewel up midway through the round with a fade away left hook, jumping in rather than walking away and banging the punch beautifully off the stunned blonde’s chin. Towards the end of the round however, Kilcher responds, cutting off the ring and punching to Shania’s chest since she can’t hit the brunette’s head. Iot works, as Kilcher lands well to the bell.

R5: Gut check time for Shania. Jewel uses some uncharacteristic roughhouse tactics, clinching the brunette and wrestling her to the ropes. Once there, Jewel uses her shoulder and pounding right hands to hammer away on the smaller girl’s wiry frame, and Shania is hurt! Twain’s defense abandons her as she takes big shots early and her legs won’t respond to her needs. All Jewel as she shoves and bangs, beating up on Shania, but Twain answers her critics, proving she can take a shot without being cute. At the bell, Twain is ragged looking, clutching at her stomach slightly, but still plenty game to continue.

R6-10: Shania Twain does what she has to, to win this fight, Boxing smartly, punching in combination, constantly changing her body position and making Jewel miss more often than not, Shania takes a very satisfying decision from a flustered Jewel., especially impressive was offense from Shania in ninth, with Jewel sitting in the ropes: twain comes in hard, gives Jewel a left shoulder, then turns into a crunching right to the jaw, Jewel’s legs buckle as she stumbles forward, and Twain nimbly retreats, swatting at Kilcher’s head with opportunistic left and right hooks, 9 rounds to 1, with a knockdown for Shania Twain.

After: Jewel a little resentful of Twain’s showboating, and her beautiful, soft features show the mark of sustained attention from Shania. “She never hurt me,” Jewel whines, when asked to evaluate Shania’s performance. Perhaps not, but she proved to be everything CMT’s management could want in an opponent.
