(You can see Pratt now regularly on “Cleopatra 2525”)

Before: Pratt hardly a soft tough, but a recent drubbing against Tsianina Joelson illustrates the blonde hard body doesn’t match up all that well against slick boxers. Still, pundits wonder if Kiana still has the legs to box and move against the more solidly built Pratt, and even if she does, there’s no guarantee Tom will avoid a brawl. Vicki in red sports top, black aerobics bottoms, Tom in black sports bra, red aerobics bottoms, Outdoors at the Hawaii Hilton, beach n bleacher bout.

During R1: Yep—Kiana’s brawling and the crowd roars as Hagler/Hearns type give and take erupts. Tom with her hands stacked at her stomach, elbows out wide, just whipping power shots from a flat footed stance, licking uppercuts across Pratt’s ripped abs as the blonde makes the fight. Pratt shaking off Tom’s best leather, and pounds away with crude, clubbing lefts and rights, often connecting with the side of her hand as she bashes at Tom’s chest and shoulders. Eventually, the toe to toe favours the heavier, meatier Pratt, and Tom’s butt touches the ropes with seconds left as Vicki pounds out the points.

R2: Corner pleads with Kiana to box—she does and the fight gets easy. Pratt flat footed, setting down top punch, but Tom on her toes, stepping to the left and lifting the jab off her hip, still holding the right lower than is healthy, last minute, Tom licks the right hard against Pratt’s stomach, drawing the fist back to her chest as Vicki folds up and Kiana lays in. Palming Vicki with the left, Kiana drops the back foot and leans into a classic tom right hand, bouncing her fist hard off Pratt’s jaw and dropping the blonde on her back with a crash. Pratt up and wobbly at 8, but the bell sounds to save her from a beating.

R3: Vicki shakes off the smaller woman’s hammer, and comes out strong, going forehead to forehead and cudgeling Tom’s rigid body with wide lefts and rights,. Tom ;s legs freeze up as she gets punchy, baring her teeth, holding her hands at her stomach and blistering Pratt with hard single uppercuts that seemingly have no effect. Vick finds Kiana’s chest and chin with heartbreaking ease as Kiana breaks down, finishing the round with her muscular back on the ropes, head swiveling regularly as Vicky’s short lefts and rights slash back and forth. Kiki lumping up Asian eyes swelling as she is slow getting to her corner while Pratt reports that Kiana’s hurt to her trainer.

R4: Tom not moving her head or her legs, setting her feet wide, hands low, looking to trade. Pratt loves the head on collision, and clearly gets the better of the early exchanges as Tom’s lanky blows lack zip, while Pratt is jerking Tom off balance with every punch, Pratt shakes off a slapping Tom right hand on the mouth and twists her compact torso into a shocking left hook on the jaw, beating Tom’s own hook and snapping Kiana’s pretty face around. Tom following through with the hook, corkscrews to the canvas, seemingly out as her mouthpiece dribbles into her lap. Kiana beats the count, covering her face, drawing her elbows in as Pratt bodies up for the kill. Pratt just bashing her fists against Kiana’s bronzed shoulders and arms, literally looking to beat down the defence as To sits on the ropes and soaks it up. Finally Tom clinches, trembling from the force of Pratt’s non stop clubbing and he girls tumble along the ropes, finally separating with Pratt’s back to the corner. Suddenly Tom strides in with a hard right hand to the chin and PRATT IS HURT! Vicki covering up, legs locked and quivering as she wobbles off balance, Tom licking the lanky right across Pratt’s abs—Vicki cringes, bringing her hands down slightly, and it’s all Tom needs: Kiana leans into the overhand right, getting her greyhound frame into the punch and ending Vicki’s night with crashing impact. Pratt wavers for a moment, still tucked behind her guard, before toppling to crash face first to the canvas. Kiana stepping over the fallen blonde doesn’t even look down as she stumbles to her corner the winner by KO4.

After: Typical Kiana—box a little, slug a little, get hurt, go down, then take your girl out with vicious right hands to the body and head, Pratt seemed to be weathering the early body shots well, but later admitted Kiana was hurting her—both girls were spent when the end came. Tom dodges the bullet, repairs some damage to her rep, but has never looked so vulnerable as she does now. Fitness girls long kept down by Tom’s iron fist smell blood—everyone wants to be the one to give Kiana that last beating to end her storied career.
